the nearer their possessor approximates to
ward tho character of the spiritual tenants
of tho bright world where nil is love, good
will, and uninterrupted peace. These men
contend that those who view the Uible as
teaching for justice wlmt wo know to be
injustice, are not schooled up to the love of
itheso doctrines by gracious intrveiitiou,
Unit that their acceptance of them is ut
tributablo to ignorance and a great deal of
natural depravity, commonly designated np
a Imil orpine i,Wln other words, that
tho reason why these devotees of falsehood
aro led to wrest the Scriptures to support
wrong is that they nro either very ignorant
men or naturally rather mean men, and
jierhaps a little of both. Now this is n
nlco theological point, which we shall not
tuko thu liberty of ih ciding and we shall
leave more experienced divines to settle the
question whether Mr. Cornwall's apt nivtit
love for n very daik featured sv.-tcm of
shivery is tho result of a bad organization
or a gracious application of the unction of
nu implicit faith in answer to much prnver,
with continued fasting, and much self-
abasement.
If wc should lake it into our head that
"In the sweat of thy face shaft thou eat
lircnd," meant " in the sweat of Uro. (Vr:i
wall's faeo shall thou cat bread," and, uflfr
Jiavmg lured luiu to reap down our fields,
should cheat him out of his wages and
hon, if we hud the power, proceed to con
vert him into n chattel, sell him to a cotton
l.lunler, after havii.g knocked oft his wife
and diuighters ou the auction block, to be
fiopuratcd forever, and made the property
f brutal mrn- we have no doubt (hat
when, aftrr coolly ockcting the cash, we
should procvnl to justify our conduct ns in
liannoiiy wilh the ysteni of white servi
tude recognized by JJoscs ai:d sanctioned
by Christ, Uro. Cornwall would, if we fairly
made out our case from tho Uibh, not only
suddenly become disgusted with that Uok
nnd wish to bum it, but he would ulso con
clude that we were not o.dy a very oor
Christian, but r.ilhcr n mrua man anvwuv.
Jiut Mr. C, if wc understand him, is, like
most Northern Democratic parson., only
nn apologU for African or black slavery.
He appear to favor this kind of shivery

Tho D.-mivracy of this county held their
convention on Inst Thursday, and after
disorderly ssiou of several hours, ratified,
with one or two exceptions, tho notion of
ihe mnniiscru In this city. The candidates
for ltMircsoiitiitivi nro James Officer,
Philiii Poster. (Hid J. D. Post. The Inst
will strike our readers with surprise, as Mr.
Post hss generally been supposed to be an
opponent of tho present Administration,
and when a candidate for County Judge
two yeurs ago he distinctly avowed his 0h
position, in a letter which we published at
the time. Wu think lit will have a hard
roud to travel, if he tries to carry Officer
on one Khoulder and Poster on thu other
during tho canvass.
T. J. McCarvcr wus nominated for Clerk,
John Thomas for Slnrilf, Thomas John
son for Treasurer, C. F. Hcatio for Assess
or, Dr. Steele for Coroner, s ml' Prune's D,
Ho.lg aui for School Sup't. Tim Fisher
wasn't nominated fur Surveyor, owing to
un oversight, but he wus promised the nom
inntion, and w ill bo supported by the party
generally. We notice on the ticket seven
or eight candidates, iwio two yea rs ago
were active Nationals, nnd fought with zeal
tho very men who now nro using them to
advance the interests of I.iuio and Smith;
.some of thesii must have eaten large quan
tities of dirt before they could have boen
allowed or consented to occupy their prtscut
place..
The Lower Molulla precinct was dis
franchised, it appearing that tlio regular
delegation was strongly anti-Lane, uml, af
ter these were ejected, it was a little too
sharp, even for Democratic tactics, to od
rr.it bolters from the caucus, though the
right ttrijio was on their backs. So neither
hud uny voice in the proceedings, though
it is not likdy that their absence made any
difference in tho result, as everything was
as distinctly and irrevocably fixed before
the convention met, us after its record was
finished. A. F. Hedges, J. Young, F. S.
Holland, Jus. Ollicer, and Thos. Johnson
were sent to Kugene City, according to
previous I'.rrnngeuient, nud were also au
thorized, after conferring with tho Wasco
delegation, to noininato n riindidate for
joint Senator, Wnsco to have thrco votes
to their five. 'u resolutions were adopted,

it only remains for our friends to niaku

To those who have given us their support

U.irui A Co. Wo have received from
J. A. Applcgnte, Secretary, tho proceed
ings of n Republican meeting heKl at the
court-house in Umpipia county on tlw 2d

ceedings. Tho following county ticket wns nomi

Huntington; Co. Clerk, S. Miser; Sheriff,
Sain'l Rich; Trcus., S. Wheeler; Assessor,
A. G. Lmigdon; School Sup't, P. P. Par
mer.
J. W. P. Huntington was chosen d. le
gato to the State Convention.
Among other resolutions the following
was adopted:
Resolved, That the lion. David Logan,
for his able canvass of this State in thoycar
1K50, de.ierves well of the Republican par
ty; and that our delegate bo nnd hois
hereby instructed to support his nomina
tion for Congress nt the Republican Con
vention to bo held ut Eugene City on the
'I U tllfff rnuf.
Ou Saturday, April "th, mine of Ihe
hardest old Democrats of Clackamas met
in cuueus, nud after organization, as a pre
liminary step to any rcnl business, a bond
for good behaviour was presented nnd the
unwashed, unterrilled, and independent
mien wero rcoiiired to afflx their signatures
to this i.roclous document. Conscious of
their own corruption, and of tlio just suspl
clou iu which they are held by the people,
a few of Lane's broken-dow n hacks, who
liuvo been In the habit of arranging among
thcinsolves ns to which should trot over the
course for tho pioplo's money, sought lo
bind tho hands of men who cull themselves
freemen, beloro they were allowed to vole.
No matter how faithfully they may have
fought, nor how hardly earned the name
of Dcinocrut, this dishonorable test
must now bo given, und menlo prove them
selves Democrats must become tlm tt. The
party leaders having turned their bucks ou
the great principles which once gave them
almost unlimited influence over the public
mind, every artifice is now rtsortid to for
the purposo of yet longer holding the reins
of power yet longer fattening nt the pub
lic expense. Knowing that a powerful op
position to their iniquitous practices has
grown up, tho command has gouo forth to
corral all tho Democratic stock and newly
brand them ull, small and great, in order
that they may be recognized and reclaimed
if any shoulJ evince n disposition to assert
the prerogative of manhood to think nnd
voto according to personal judgment nnd
discretion. Rind yourself to support tho
entire party ticket, aud you may bless your
self with the name of Democrat. Glorious
privilrgot Don't ull run to be branded at
onco.
On tho same day, and in the same build
the Republicans held a muss County
Convention. There no pledges were rc-1
quired, no promises extorted. Consisting
mostly of hard-fisted ami lioiU'.-t hoirte 1
farmers and working men, all their actions
were chnracterir.cd by u manly frankness
und an hottest regard for tho rights of oth
ers. Thu position of tho two purtl a ns
numifiMed iu tho county meetings is s'guiti
cimt, nnd I hero can ) no doubt cs to 'ihich
side will be finally victorious. " Iu union
is strength," nnd tho Republican r arty is
us one man. " A house divided against
nueii cannot statin," una there ts Uisoigftii
ization nnd dismay in the cowxi! of Lunc
fcin. Tho faction who endorse- and cry
lic.saiinr.il to tho present Administration,
consisting almost entirely of oif.ee holders
and their parasites, is iu array rg.iiiiit the
people, who have n risen iu their majesty
and declared that tho patronage and influ
ence of the American Gsverument shall no
more bo prostituted for the int.'r s' mil
extension of slavery to tho prtjud'co of
freemen. The people have trmted long
enough to politician. and been badly
enough swindled by them. Let ihein here
after choose men as office-holders of them
selves, looking ut fitness for ollioe more
than party names.

Eii. Anws: Tho harmoi.ious Democra
cy had ii very inhunnouious meeting rt
Uuttevillo to-day, for the purpose of nomi
nating delegates to the Countv Convention
They organized by culling S. Clark to the
chair, and electing H. C. Cooley secretary.
An ex-sijuire introduced u resolution re
quiring those who participated in thu can
eus to support tho candidates nominated
nt tho County Convention, olso those nom
inated at the Eugene Convention, and to
support tho nominee of the Charleston
Convention. This was more than the nnti-
Lane wing could swallow. A State Sena
tor who was present mado a most eloquent
appeal to the meeting not to udopt theres-
o.ution. Au ex-Constable made n great
speech against it, nnd sat down with a com
placent twinkle of the eye, as though he
hud done something uncommon. The cx
Squiro then undertook to enlighten their
dark minds on the resolution, but said
nothing, and then withdrew the resolution
They then proceeded to ballot for delegates
amidst the greatest confusion and cr'es
that it was un-Democratic, yells of " order i''
from the crowd, and appeals from the Chair
Tor gentlemen to take their scats. After
order was restored, and the votes counted,
the first clause of the resolution was passed,
with but three dissenting votes.
Take it altogether, it was one or the
richest times that I have seen lately. Or
course we Republicans stood back and en
joyed it finely. Yours, in haste,
