OUIl STATE CONVENTION.
As tho ninth of April is near at hand it may
not bo amiss to say a worJ about the prospects
and importance of the Stato Union Convention
to be held here that day. Gentlemen who havo
been elected by tho several county conventions,
and confided in by the people to represent the
Union sentiment of Oregon in th;it honorable
body will feel that tho obligation resting upon
them are far greater than those ever fastened by
mere party ties. The coming together of this
Convention is like the simultaneous movement of
deep waters stirred by some mighty influence nt
the bottom. 'Tis the echoing answer of the voice
of loyalty to tho earnest question put forth by
tremulous friendsof our lacerated country :"have
we a Union?" It is not tho result of party ef
fort, it is not to bo tho expression of partisan
feeling, ; but it is the spontaneous movement of
a Ioynl people, in their heartfelt expressions of
devotion to the best and truest Government ever
yet inaugurated among men.
In view of theso momentous facts, gentlemen,
wo trust that those i f us who have been honored
w ith this high distinction, of giving expression to
tho voice of the people, can freely lay aside every
reminiscence, of party predilections which might
tend to embarrass us in the selection of a Slate
ticket which fehall meet tho hearty approbation
and support of all Union men of the State. Our
political,. and wo may say our national enemies,
are watching us with demon vigilance ; tliey are
ready to catch at every straw which seems to
promise to them a division of the Union ranks.
Jf Union men even ii.dulgo in wholesome criti
cism of each other on minor points tho secession
press is ready to catch every remark which savors
of anger, and hearald it to the four winds of heav
en for tho encouragement of their silly followers.
Therefore, friends, it becomes us well to be care
ful in our depot tment and givo them no real
causo for predicting trouble in the Union camp.
Thus fir the union of Union men is a complete
success, and the loyal people have so promptly
responded to the Union calls that tho movement
cannot bo regarded as other than the spontaneous
and freo expression of tho people themselves.
Each daily mail for the past week lias lmm lit
us some new and cheering intelligent) from the
several county Union Conventions throughout the
State, and wo are most happy to seo so many
names registered as members to tlio Stato con
vention who havo already signalized themselves
as true Union men by t'lcirpivmpt and outspoken
adherenco to tho Union cause ; by their uiicqniv
ocal denunciation of the traitors who are seeking
to overthrow our Government, and by their sup
port of tho defenders of our gloiirious old Union.
We trust that this Convention will be charac
terized by that harmony of feeling and action
which prevailed nt tho primary conventions.
And if wo may judgo of tho prevailing sentiment
by the resolutions which theso meetings adopted,
we cannot hope to overreach it in our devotion
to tho Union causo.
It is well that we bear in mind tho importance
which attaches to the proper selection of a State
ticket. This we should do with strict reference
to two points ; first, theprcper qualification of
tho candidate ; second, tho people's preference.
Ill tho determination of the first point we must
rely upon the judgement and discrimination of
tho Convention. In dcterminm" tho second
point we want the fullest expression of tho people
themselves. Wo nro not iulormed whether there
liavo been instructions given to . the members
generally to support ecrlain persons tor tho dilie
rent office or not. Whether such bo tho cae
or not wo suppose is unimportant as. tho mem.
bcrs are no doubt well advised as to the prefer
ences of their several districts. And, finally, we
hopo that no member of this body w ill bo dis
posed to overlook that broad just ico which w ill
givo an impartial representation on tho ticket of
tho northern, southern, and central portions of
tho State.

present lit our precinct meeting, when in fact
there wero over sixty votes last, besides several
persons present who were not of the right stripe
to vote in a Union meeting. Twenty. five, in a
