Wasn't his whole policy in siilijngaling the people of Kansas lo the rulu of Missouri rullians hraudi.vhiiig howie-knives and bludgeons at Iho polls, in strict accordance with the ' Cin cinnali I'laiforui' ?

A party tht is entirely destituta of prin ciple, tliut Is kept together by the cohesive power of public plunder, nnd that depends lor success upon the Ignorance of tho masses, must needs get up Just such h plulform us that constructed at Cincinnati one capable of being construed to mean anything and crervthing that happen to he a favorite dogma with a salamander, a Mormon, or a dri'en-nigger a political Juggle, ns lucid in oil its parts ns tho ' Cincinnati Platform' is on 'squatter sovereignly' and the Pacific Hailrond. JIow silly, then, fur the Enquirer, and organs of that ilk, to be claiming an exciu sive monopoly of the ' Cincinnati Platform,' when every jackass in Christendom Is on it! I'.OBaartallam. We arc glad to see that influential and powerful journal, the '. V. Tribune, is bending nil its energies towards a union of the opposition upon o conservative platform for the Presidential Ik'ht of IBM). While it names no mun us its first choice, we think we see from its general lone a decided lean ing towards Judge Bates as the most avail able man for the Presidency. The Tribune is no more willing, however, to ignore the great issues of the day, in order to pleusc pro-slavery " Old Line Whigs," than we are. The hardest fight the Tribune germs just now to have is with what it calls the " radical lit publicans" such meu, of course, as bolted the nominution of Hanks, in Massa chusetts, and called a separate nominating convention, because they thought Punks Wii.-n't a "straight-out Pepulilican" men of tho suiiie strip with a few of the live thousand fanatics who tried to defeat the election of Morgan, in New York, and elect the Phick Democratic candidate for Gov ernor by throwing away (heir votes on that prince of asses, (Jcrrit Smith. (We proli- ably ought to except his kinsman, Delu sion Smilli.) Of u 11 men in the world, such nro the greatest nuisances to lhel!publican party. They ought to he read out of it, and then kicked out of it; for, while they are less ardent in attachment to principle than what arc termed conservative Repub licans, tli"y exhibit nbout the same amount of sagacity with their fellow who ripped open tho goose that laid the golden eggs. To savo a political party from the contamina tion of ultriiists, on the one hand, and from being demoralized by unprincipled men who know no broader creed than " opposition to the Democracy," on the other, is a labor that just now niny well employ the attention of the Tribune, and we are glad to sec that it deals out to each his portiou of meat in due season. Vrrd Wajmtre C.onvrrtril, Some time since we noticed the report that Fred Waymirc who was formerly n Methodist exhoitcr, but for many years a very foul-mouthed, blasphemous infidel had become reconverted, and again united witli his old church. In a late issue of the ex-organ, nt Pahni, Fred publishes a litter stating that ho was appointed President of the I oik County Jliblo Society, in June last; that "agreeable to instructions" he hud written to " seven clergymen nnd three Hon. gentlemen," of Polk, asking them to n..irt i It. I,.m h.n.... j.... i, . nun junnrrs mere were in tho different precincts (why were mechan ics, tradesmen, and locofoco politicians to oe pa you:; who hail no Jhbles, and iheit meet to report at Dallas, Oct. il. Fred thus girts the upshot ol the October meet-' lug: " Krem aeino unknown enurra tons, lliore wa li lt one elvrjvnun nil. I on geatieman who at Irn.M nt llio lima uppolnteil." We think Iho " course" which is " un known" to Fred, especially of tho "Hon. gentlemen" (who were, of course, locofoco politicians) is a downward "course." As there were only rwo nt the meeting, "one clergyman and out gentleman," the niceliim- must have been a rather cool one', but no iloal.ttlio " clergyman" felt himself amply t 0 ; compensated by being allowed to eniov h into the " g'tleuWs society (Fred's, of course) ior once. We hope Fred may circulate Pibles accordance with tho ' Cincinnati Platform' I f lu)"Sh ehanye tho " course" of thi, 1... to leave such a fellow to 'manage his own i l'r1'0 " Honorablcs" in Polk, nnd succeed concerns in his own way' ?

Douglas, Forney, and Walker, whoso political sentiments nro enough nt variance w ith those of J. ff Da vis, Drown, nnd Vunccy to keep up a con tant quarrel between these redoubtable Democrats, are M Cincinnati Platform' Democrats, according to their showing.

'I'M IUI HIS olit:oui.s;n ns they arc, profe-s to bo ull Stoufa t.tiaraetar V.ast. The Vtica (X. V.) Herald hearing that the Know Nothing fanatics of Oregon had given Stout au outlit for Washington, says it is glad that he is coming Fast. The 1 le'r ald gives the following reasons for its joy: " liv. ra p.opl,. hereabout., will b. gl.nl to a .1 A'v;,"",u,i'i.,y imir ..bit- .i i luo J11":"- " " i"' "yb. 1 -"""'mi nun ol Ihr fii,i l k.,;. c. Trlaa Ikrlr llnal. It has been truly reinurked that there is nothing hke adversity to test the natal man Is made of to bring out tha real mo- tivo principlo of huinun character, and how the world juit what sort of stun" is used In lis composition. Vou limy live by n man for twice seven years, and know as littlo ubout his real moral on! mm as you know about ' the man in the tnooii,' provid ed the whole period Is one uninterrupted sunshine of pro'tx rily. Tho man who Im been known In the States for forty years a a good neighbor, a fair citizen, and Mm! a very clever fellow, who jx-rhiip went to church regularly, gave tilms of all that he po aisjCiI, and wore a sanctimonious face generally, often devclopes ft very tiuenvht ble character while crossing the Plains. Let the teams of a given train begin to fail on Huuke Uivtr, I t their provisions gi low, let sickness begin to add to their al ready accumulated mountain of troubles, and the man who parses through the trying ordeal conducting h.mself all the while to ward his companions as a mun and a Chris tian, may be set dow u as a jewel while the man who ever hud a latent devil In him will be sure just then to bo in travail with ut least a pair of full-grown ones. Who himi't heard of temperance church mem otrs going to utiiiorma to ' make a raise,' and, after getting there th stituto of all things, doing what they would ossoon hare thought of stealing as doing in the land of steady habits retailing whisky to the be sotted wretches that were spending their lust dollar that ought to have been sent home to nllevhito the sipinlid misery of fum dies they had left behind ? We were once struck with a remark of old 'Totsy,' who rome to Oreon by the wav of Murk's Cut-Off, in 184 j we believe it was. The train, which under tho guidance of Steve Meek was lost in the mountains urn! suffer ed terribly from starvation and fatigue, fi nally reached the Dalles, emaciated, ragged, haggard, and way-worn, having buried sev eral of their number who perished in the wihlirurss. Food having been providod for them by some good Samaritan at the Dalles, who wus able to furnish but a lim itcd tptnntity, tho poor emigrants hastily prepared their bread and Eat down around the camp-fires, watching tho cakes its they baked, .siiutching them from the griddles, and swallowing thein while yet half raw. .Men so fur forgot their manhood and gal lantry that they rudely thrust back the wo men, and the women in turn pushed aside the famishing children, in order to be first to snatch the tempting morsel from the fire. Old 'Totsy,' in describing it, snid 'The fact is, the men had all turned to women, the women to children, and the children to idiots.' N'ovv if there were any men there (we dare say there were) who, ntnid these adverse circumstances retained the full measure of their manhood, they were such us it would do to depend on tinder all cir cumstances. If you want to try a man to sec whether there is any gold in his compo sition, you must shift him over from the sunny hijlside of. prosperity to the cold, frosty, northern slope or adversity, nnd if he has any mean streaks in him they will show plainly ns the longitudinal stripes down a darky's pantaloon.-?. The time is coming, nnd now Is, that will give .'OUie of its an in sight into human character that we haven't had before. As a faithful Journalist that has the good of ull our renders nt heart, we havo already warned our friends of nn an proaching financial revulsion, the beginnin" of Which is iu-t beL'iliniiiT In l,n f. lt ,! we have told them ns best we could how to gird up their loins to nieet it. We nrc no alarmist, and we would gladly predict a good time near at hand, if after looking into the future we could pierca tho gather ing gloom ourself. The result or the com ing pressure, which, while it will be the ruin of a few, will in the end produce a gen. eral good, exceeding that attending the discovery of the gold mines. This will bo doubted by some, and be hard to be tinder stood by others it is nevertheless true, nnd every man of ordinary sagacity has nlready noticed that the leaven is beginnin" to work. bills, printer's bills, ere all small, (or ought lo be) the lu!ncM cannot be carried on " on tick," and the man who mekei no eflort to settle such bills Is as mean ft man " Old Thirty Three Per Cent." himself. 1.111 a4 VfUi. The Clackamas, Convention of Lane men met at the Court Home in this city last .Saturday, and chose delegates to attend the Stute Convention which was to have met at Kugene City last Wednesday, There was hardly any ne of troubling so many men In assembling for the piirjHD.ve they did, as Doll had arranged the matter days Uforehaud, nnd had selected the del gates that were to be sent to Kugene Cily 1 mlied, the Democracy of Clackamas seem to have turned Into a society of Dolf-inen, whose only btnineas appears to lo to meet and ratify what has been laid down for their action. The following Is the vols by which the d-legates were chosen, which shows a remarkable unanimity In the choice made, considering thnt thero were only 27 votes cast: II. 1). Rogers 23, Jus.

On Saturday last two convicts, George Livingston and Owens, escaped from tho Penitentiary at Portland, for whose apprehension one hun dred dollars reward was offered. The Ad vcrtiser says that on Sunday evening Liv ingston voluntarily returned, bringing with him one of the hand-bills, and claiming the hundred dollars reward offered for his arc prehension. Livingston says that he trav rlid in tho country a siiort distance nnd saw several lurge houses finely painted, but on searching arunud through the " garden pots" he could find nothing to eat not even a turnip and came to the conclusion that he would starve to death if he remained among such lazy people, so he concluded to return to his former home, where, he says he has ut least good clothes and plenty to eat. Ho reports that Owens will return also for the same reasons. The Steaukks. The high stage of water now allows the Jennie Chirk and Express to hind above the rapids.

The stage line between Jacksonville nnd Eugene Cily lias been dis continued for the winter also between Sa lem nnd Eugene Cily owing to the bad state or the roads. UiatMratte i.aty trU. En. Aiuiisi The willed Democratic County Convention went off on Saturday lust. nd lo some respects the result will astonish the " natives." The lioliee of this famous Retting tdtrf titer, as postcif lip by the County Committee (CsuDchl), said the convention would be IM in the court house,' but by some accident or maneuvering thry did meet In the courthouse (not the court room), and the upper part at that perhaps Dolf 's room and after a sufficient training or Similizing they dispersed, and again met, this time In the court room, and here they organized and proceeded to examine credeitliuls, and by tliut act It was made to npar thnt several precincts were wholly unrepresented, and othert only in part. Well, something must be dono for those precincts which were not represented, and what caused some trouble in the mind of the legul and somo of the wise men in that assembly wits, on examination there was no man found qualified to act for those delinquent precincts, except In the case of Milwattkie, for which (wo men were found haviug on the wedding garments (Lane and pro-slavery), and the convention with one accord proceeded to appoint them to act for said precinct. 'o person acquaint ed in Milwaukic and vicinity would for one moment believe that there is a majority of any party In that precinct for Lane, con sequently this act of the convention cannot be accounted for on any other hypothesis than that there was Stoutiziug in the upper story. The balance of the delinquent pre cincts remained unrepresented. The next act of the convention demon strates Stoutlzing beyond a doubt. I mean the result of tho private ballot for delegates to the State convention. The county convention consisted ol twenty-seven members all told, and on the first ballot the following ticket wns elected: Jus. Officer. A. F. Hedges, Dolf, Jo Young, nnd II. It. Rogers, tho vote ranging from 22 to 24 votes each. Such a ntmnimity shows con clusively that the convention was a farce, nnd that the whole thing wus concocted in the upper room of the court-house, or clsis whern, before coining into convention. Is thero not a striking similarity between the way this convention wus conducted and the one that brought Stout Itcforo the people? Does not such humbugging argue strong ly that it is timo for the people to look after their own interest? Let your mind for one moment glance over tho State, nnd ask yourself the question, how many of those appointees could hold the pluees they now do, if they had to have the consent of their neighbors? or, in other wwds, if they had lo be elected by the people? I think the answer would be, Few very few. Why, then, kt them longer rule? Sl'ECTATOB.
