The defeat of Mr. G rover for the nomi

surprise. That his nomination was expected
by the masses, there can be no doubt, and in
view of the shortness of his term in Congress,

That Mr. Graver was the choice of a mryority
M tne members of the convention, if expression
f that choice had been made through the usual
aid regular channels, we have no doubt The
nominations were not made in the convention
they were simply bronrht there for ratifica
tion, and were ratified, by a vote of forty-one to
thirty-three. The recognized friends of Gen.
Lane elected to the convention, constituted a
minority; they sought to compass Mr. Graver's
Meat. The delegation from Linn county, con
sisting of eight, with ten rotes, consulted as to
their course. Through a member of their del
egation, their whole vote, sufficient to nominate
him, was formally promised Mr. Graver, to
Mr. Harding, of Marion (a member both of the
convention and legislature) upon condition that
the members of the legislature from Marion
county should be pledged to support Hon. Del
axon Smith for re-election to the U. S. Senate.
air. naming oeciarea nimseu unautnonzed to
make such pledge, and declined to do it. Some
f the friends of Gen. Lane declared that if
the Linn members did not oppose Mr. G rover,
that Mr. Smith should not be supported by
Gen. L.s friends. A caucus, or frequent can
cases, of the latter were held, and the Linn
delegation (this is stated by Messrs. ERrins,
Smith, and others of that delegation) were in
formed that they might name the candidate for
Congress, provided it was some other person
than Mr. Graver. (A minority of the IJnn
delegation were for Mr. Graver's nomination,
irrespective of the Senatorial election.) That
delegation met, and balloted for a candidate for
Congress, under this nronosition from th T-nno
caucus. Judge Williams was selected as the
candidate. The delegation repaired with their
election to the place of meeting of the Lane
caucus, over the "Nonpareil" Saloon. Imme
diately upon their entering, Mr. Smith says,
CoL Chapman was called to the chair; a reso
lution was offered binding the members of the
eaacus to abide (in the convention) the decision
of the caucus ; before this was acted on, a mo
tion to proceed to an informal ballot for candi-,
late for member of Congress was adopted.
That ballot gave eight votes (from Linn coun
ty) to judge Williams, and the balance to Mr.
Stout. A morion was made to declare Mr.
Stout the unanimous nominee. Messrs. Smith,
ETkins, and Brown, of the Linn delegation,
thereupon retired, claiming that the promise to
leave to their delegation the selection of the
candidate, had been disregarded. In this cau
cus was the delegate from Clatsop Co., who was
instructed to support Mr. Graver. lie stated
la the convention that he was invited into the
caucus, without knowing that all the members
of the convention had not been invited ; but
that having been in it, he felt bound to carry
out its action, and he voted for Mr. Stout, and
against the instructions of his county. In the
ferred Mr. Graver; they were induced to go in
here upon other considerations one under the
Belief that he could thus secure the nomination
of a relative for Congress, as he informed us.
He felt bound by the action of the caucus, and
Toted against G rover in the convention, though
Graver was his choke over all the men in the
field. In this caucus the whole business of the
convention was transacted, the officers selected,
the committees prepared, the resolutions agreed
jpon, Ace. Thirty members of the convention
were not at any time in the caucus; a member
from Umpqaa who chanced there, was request
ed to retire, and one from Benton, who was by
mistake invited there, was asked if he intended
to Tofe for Graver; upon replying that he did.

When the convention was called to order, the
action of the caucus was gone through with,
Mr. Chapman was called to the chair, and talc
ing from his hat the committee on credentials,
read H. There were but two variations from
the programme.. One was, a motion to appoint
a committee to report permanent officers for the
convention ; this was amended, on motion of
Mr. Harding, so as to provide for electing them
viva voce. The other was as follows: Mr.
Hayden of Polk, desirous of ascertaining from
whose pocket the resolutions came, stole the
inarch on the man assigned to move the ap
pointment of that committee, and made the
motion himself. That placed him upon the
committee, and he reported that Mr. Mosher
took the resolutions from his pocket. Mr. T
Vault objected to Hayden's motion, and Was
probably the man who had been appointed
chairman of the committee on resolutions. AD
the other members of the committee were
Lane men." Any who were present at the
Eugene "National" Convention of last year,
and at the Democratic Convention here this
year, must have been struck with the almost
precise similarity of management, rn both ca
ses all was "cut and dried" beforehand, by a
secret caucus.
A side caucus, (binding the action of mem
bers,) of the character alcove described, to which
all members are not admitted, is new to our ex
perience respecting- conventions. We cannot
regard such caucuses as either regular or legit
imate. To show that" they are wrong in princi
ple, it is but necessary to show that by virtue of
them, less than one-third of the members of a
convention can control the action of the body.
Let this convention be the example. It com
prised seventy-fire members ; forty is a major
ity of that number. Let us suppose the forty

f the majority; twenty-one is a. majority of
the forty ; the twenty-one outvote the nineteen,
nominate the candidates, select the committees,
adopt the resolutions, and transact all the busi
ness of the convention. The proceedings of
thin caucus are reaffirmed in the convention,
and tLcac twenty-one nu-n rranant fl, innii 1
of seventy-five, and less than one-third of the
members of the convention decide its important
action, and a minority mar defeat' the will of
the majority. Had the members of this con
vention gone into the session of that body un
bound by the proceedings of this side caucus.
we think it will be conceded that Mr. G rover
would have .been nominated.
That there has been any bargain or under
standing respecting- the Senatorial succesmou,
we do not know. We simply know that the
vote of Linn county was tendered Mr. G rover,
on condition above stated ; and that with that
vote against him, no candidate could have been
nominated in convention.
There are inauy reports, some of them pret
ty well authenticated, relative to matters con
nectcd with the caucus and convention, which
we do not give ; and do not wish to. We sim
ply give established facts.
About thirty members voted against the cus
tomary motion to declare the nomination unan
imous, as a protest against the fairness and reg
ularity of the manner in which it had been pro
cured. Among these ' were the five members
from Polk county, the three from Yamhill, the
ten from Marion, one from Linn, two from Ben
ton, the two from Washington, the two from
Umpqna, the two from Curry, the one from
Coos, and the one from Tillamook. None of
these members had either voice or vote in the
real nomination of the candidates presented
and the transaction of the principal business of
the convention.
We have given a calm, plain statement of
facts; democrats will read, and form their own
conclusions.
Blr. Stout, the candidate for Congress, whose
name we publish above,- is a lawyer, residing
at Portland. He is a young man of good abil
ities and attainments, and enjoys the confidence
and esteem of the community. He is a native
of New York State, from whence he emigrated
to California, and from there came to Oregon,
in 1837, where he has since been established
He was elected upon the knownothing ticket
from Sacramento to the California legislature of
IS56, in which body he occupied a creditable
position. At tne last June rlecctinn he was
chosen county judje of Multnomah, upon the
democratic ticket, and has entered upon the
discharge of his duties since the admission of
the State of Oregon.
Mr. Svkcs, candidate for Penitentiary Inspec
tor, fonnerlv lived in Josephine ennntv, but
since the spring of 1353 has resided at Port
land, lie is well suited for tne position of In
spector of the State prison.
A E.YI( DOG.
The miserable dependent and willing slave,
Hibben, has a couple of lying letters in the
last Times, which manifest a baseness worthv
of a mulatto sjjnial. We make two extracts
The editor of the Statesman in a letter to i
gentleman in Washington, said : "Old Joe
Lane must be pit doH-n. You mil tee I am
preparing the public mind for it."
Mr. Mmtn nohly and mantullr replies tbat
he "had rather be the friend of Oen. Lane, on
principle, and he out of office, than be kit enemy
and hare all the honors his ( Gen. Lane's ) ene-
ics could confer upon him ! ( Smith.) 1 his is
Mr. Smith's answer to the tabal.
These are absolute forgeries and falsehoods ;
we never wrote the above, to any man in or out
of ashington, and Mr. Smith never wrote
anything of the kind to us. The balance of
his letters are composed of like falsehoods, and
sickening laudation ot his benefactor. It is
undeniable that all these letters pass under re
view of Gen. Lane and they are to that extent
his own, and their contents are his own self
praise, his low blackguardism, and vile person
al abuse. Hibben is Gen. Lane's eur, (of Af
rican extraction) and barks at his bidding.
IT" We have said elsewhere that the defeat
of Mr. G rover for re-nomination would strike
the country with surprise. We think that sur
prise will not be unmixed with regret and in
dignation. One year ago he was nominated by
acclamation by the democratic convention; it
was the universal impression among the people
that, he was "the right man in the right place.
Our great owe interest was the payment of the
tear debt. Mr. Grover better understands that
debt than any other man in Oregon ; he was in
the war; he was in the subsequent session of
the legislature, and was the author of all the
legislation relative to the war and the war debt ;
be was on the claim commission, and had pass
ed in review all the claims ; and the rolls of
that commission are before Congress and the
department. lie knows all about them, while
we have no other man in Congress who kno'
anything about them. Knowing all these facts,
and knowing Mr. G rover's aptitude for accounts.
his talent, patience and industry, one year
ago he was the spontaneous choice of the dem
ocratic masses of Oregon for Congress. The
masses have not changed. Since his election
he has served sevecteen days in Congress cred
itably, and usefully ; during that time he made
a clear, sensible, intelligent and intelligible
speech in support of the war debt, as a basis
of future action. Col. Xesmith said in his speech
of Wednesday night, he made the only speech
ever made in Congress, (except Gov. Stevens',)
which has been, or was calculated to 1m?, of any
service to the debt. Our war debt is now in a
very critical position, and it will occur to many
that Mr. Grover was just tho man who was
needed to look after it in the next Congress.
Why was he not nominated ? Will the people
tell us T
In making the above remarks, we would not
disparage Mr. Stout ; he is all we have said of
him elsewhere, and a gentleman of fine social
qualities besides. But it is no disparagement
of him to say that Mr. Grover better under
stands the war debt than he does ; for he
has had far better opportunities to obtain
knowledge respecting it.
CP It will be seen that the black republi
cans have nominated Hon. David Logan for
Congress.' He is well known throughout the
State. We think he is the strongest man thej
could have placed in the field, though he will
hardly come up to the Atlantic republican tests.
Holbrook, who was sorely disappointed in not
receiving the nomination, would have been a
better sample. There are some good things
in their platform and some slightly colored
things. But it is unexpectedly decent to come
from such a body as the convention was.
" Weeping Jeremiah" wanted to be Congress
man but be was consigned to the penitentiary.
Does It Pat tue People ! Oregon may
well ask, does the sanction of a personal party
to minister to the ambition and vanity of Gen.
Lane pay the country J The last act of said
personal party, .was, by impure coalition and
unfair action, to sacrifice La Fayette Grover.
We candidly Jbelieve that Grover, in the next
Congress, would be worth more to the interests
of Oregon than all the service Gen. Lane could
render there in a lifetime. What say the scrip

TUB PBRSON1L PABT1
If any ono has doubted the existence of a
deep-laid plan on the part of Gen. Lane and
his friends, to build up and sustain a personal
party within the Democratic organization in
Oregon, and to retain all official power, honors
and emoluments in the hands of a coterie de
voted solely to Lane's interests, tho events of
the past week must remove the last doubt as to
the real state of the case. No one, who is not
willingly nud interestedly blind, can fail to see,
in the course pursued by the friends and sup
porters of Gen. Lane, both previous to and in
the State Convention, a determination to make
their one-man hobby the paramount issue in
the Convention, and, even at the peril of the
interests of the country, and the rink of destroy.
iug the democratic organization, to visit their
condemnation upon all who refused to aid their
darling scheme of perpetuating Gen. Laue in
Congress, and thereby perpetuating their own
power and influence. For several years past.
by all the means in their power, by liberal
promises, by the judicious distribution of offices
and official patronage, and by convenient bar
gaining with the opposition, they have been
adding strength to this personal party, and riv
eting the chain which should hind Gen. Lane
like a mill-stone upon the neck of Orejrmi. For
some time past, whenever they hare considered
themselves strong enough to make the attempt,
they hare endeavored to proscribe all who would
not succumb to the one-man power, and, re
gardless of principle or self-respect, substitute
fealty to the man for fealty to the principles of
the democratic party. This proscriptive feeling
was carried into the election last year; and, in
more than one county in the State, the Lane in
fluence (wc do not speak of Lane's immediate
individual influence, but of that of his personal
friends and supported,) was lent to the defeat
of regularly nominated democratic candidates,
for the sole reason that they were known or sus
pected to prefer some one else to Gen. Lane for
official position. This influence was used se
cretly, of course, (although Hibben indiscreetly
avowed that he would support no candidate for
the Legislature who was not for Lane for the
Senate.) But last winter, in the Territorial Leg
islature, the Lane party, emboldened by the cir
cumstance that no opposition had been offered
to tha election of Gen. Lane to the U. S. Sen
ate, and confident in their supposed strength,
evinced a spirit of intolerance, and even of truc
ulence towards anti-Lane democrats, which
was both unjustifiable and unseemly, and which
was at length carried to such an extent as to
excite expressions of surprise and disapproba
tion from the opposition members. In that
Legislature, the Lane democrats fairlr outdid
the bitterest of the opposition in their attacks
upon and persecution of anti-Lane democrats;
and in one instance, "where some of the Lane
party opposed a measure of public importance,
they did not hesitate to avow, as the reason of
their opposition, that one of the parties inter
ested in the measure was believed to be un
friendly to Gen. Lane. In short, the whole
conduct of the Lane party in the last Territo
rial Legislature, was tyrannous and intolerant
to the last degree, and such as, it was believed,
would be heartily condemned by the intelligence
and good sense of the masses of the democratic
party.
Bat this spirit of intolerance and proscrip
tion reached its climax last week, when, re
gardless nlike of the first and dearest interests
of the State, and of the known wishes of a large
majority of the democratic party, a minority of
the State Convention, by means which we need
not detail here, procured the sacrifice of Mr.
Grover to this unholy personal alliance. It is
undeniable that Mr. Grover was the first, last
and only choice of the democracy of Oregon for
Representative to Congress ; a majority of the
delegates came to the Convention fullv intend
ing to support him, and to urge his nomination ;
but it had been decreed by the Lane party that
Mr. Grover must be defeated. It was not
charged that he had been derelict in his dufy ;
it was not even attempted to be denied that iie
had been energetic, faithful and persevering in
the discharge of his trust ; it was acknowledged
that he had rendered most efficient aid to our
interests during the short time he was permitted
to act as our Keprcsentative ; he was not accus
ed of any act or word of hostility to Gen. Lane.
His offence (one of great enurmity in the eyes
of the Lane men) was that he had refused to
become a mere echo and pliant tool of Gen.
Lane ; that he had dared to maintain his self-
respect and independence in spite of the efforts
which were made to draw him to the support
of the personal party; and that be had chosen
to devote his time and influence at Washington
to the interests of his constituents and of the
country, rather than to the perpetuation of Gen.
Lane in office. This was the crime, and the
only crime, for which Mr. Grover was ostracis
ed. There was no other pretext for the con
duct of the Lane party, but that Mr. Grover
had not committed himself unconditionally to
Lane and his interests. Gen. Lane's relatives
and retainers (in office and expecting to be,)
were in the convention, when they could get
in, and about it when they could not, zealously
conspiring for G rover's defeat. That tho gist
of the matter was Lane-ism, and nothing else,
is manifest from the refusal of the Lane caucus
to keep their promise with the Linn delegation.
After promising that that delegation might
name tho candidate, they. refused to accept
judge Williams, when they had named him,
averring that he -was not for Lane. He, no
more than Grover, would consent to sink his
identity, become a mere echo of Gen. Lane,
and devote himself to his praise. It is by no
means certain that the order for this deed has
not come from Washington City ! Mr. Mosher
was one of the candidates for Congress voted
for in the Lane caucus.
Mr. Grover and his friends had every reason
to believe and to expect that he would be re
turned to the position which he had filled with
honor to himself and with faithfulness to his
constituents. He had, by his untiring industry.
laid the foundation for future usefulness in that
position ; he had prepared a large amount of
work, involving the vital interests of Oregon, to
be completed at the next Congress, in which he
had shown himself peculiarly qualified to serve
our interests as our Keprcsentative. His de
feat at this time, and under existing circumstan-
ces, will be construed into a disapproval of the
measures he has urged in our behalf; it will be
considered as a virtual acknowledgment of
the truth of the charge that our war debt is
founded upon fraud and- speculation, that the
ablest aud moist earnest advocate of the justice
of our claims upon the government has been
"virtually condemned and stricken down, with
out even the form of an accusation, and in the
face of a most able and eloquent effort for the
pnyment of those claims, Mr. Grover is not
the party most injured by this transaction.- Al
though he cannot but experience regret and
mortification at t!ie ingratitude and trcaeLcry
by which he has been betrayed, he can point
with pride to his stainless record, and defy tho
pdny malice of his enemies. He now, more
than ever, occupies a position in the esteem
and affectum of the people of Oregon, from
which no fraud or trick can remove him. ' To
him, personally, this defeat is not important,
He has been wronged by unfair means, but the
people will right him in their own good time
The democratic party is the sufferer by this
wrong. Tho country is the sufferer; and every
individual citizen of tho State of Oregon will
have cause to regret the spirit of personal par
tisanship which' sacrificed tho harmony of the
democratic party, and tho best interests of the
State, to the rratilication of private and person
al revenge. And bitterly will Gen. Lane and
his frien Is regret the day when they offered the
Hon. L. F. Grover as a victim upou the altar
of their one-man party.

The Committee on piauorms rcpon tne 101-
lowing resolutions :
Resolved, 1st. That there is no feeling
we cherish as Republicans and Oregonians,
more strong than our devotion to tho Union of
these States; that we entertain no hatred to
nny part ; that we claim no right to interfere
-. , . i l. : . .1. : . . ; f . utnt...
Wltn Uie lUSlHUUOUS llliu liitiim.iuri uutn-o,
that wc recognize to the fullest extent the right
of independent action by the several States to
make all rightful rules mid regulations for their
own government subject ouly to the Constitu
tion of the United Suites.
2. That recognizing the wisdom of the t rain
ers of the Constitution, in relation to the ques
tion of slavery, we oppose its extension, and
will use all constitutional means to prevent it.
3. While we recognize the fact," that by the
Constitution the sovereignty of the Territories
is vested in tho Congress of the United States,
we acknowledge ns well that Congress may
delegate the exercise of that sovereignty in
part or in whole to the people of such Territo
ries, and are in favor of such delegation as far
as may be consistent with the protection of free
labor and good government therein.
4. 1 hat the intervention ot Congress tor the
protection of slavery in the Territories, now de
manded by leading Democrats in Congress,
and insisted upon by them as a vital and cardi
nal element of the faith and practice of the
Democratic party, and as the real issue be
tween them aud their opponents, is a gross in
fraction of popular and national rights, which
ought to be resisted by every freeman.
5. 1 nat while we are in lavor ot annexing
to the United States adjacent territory, when its
occupants and owners consent thereto, on terms
honorable to our government, so that thereby
the area of our free institutions may be extend
ed, and our national prosperity promoted, we
are utterly opposed to wresting such territory
by force from its proprietors, to obtaining it bv
corrupt means, or to placing large sums of
money in the hands of any Executive officer,
with authority to use the same in acquiring as
he may choose, that which ought to be secured
only by the discreet judgment of the nation,
expressed through its constitutional representa
tives in Congress.
6. That while we would guard with the ut
most care the purity of the ballot-box, as the
fountain of aft political power, we as a party
will welcome those of our race who prefer a land
of Free Schools, Free Speech, and Free Labor,
to the desiiotisnis nnder which thev inav have
been liorn. And wo believe an enforcement of
the Naturalisation Laws of the United States,
as they now exist, will secure the purity of our
elections, and also place the foreign immigrant
on a probation sufficient to prove his earnest in
tentions to become one Of Us". '
7. That the interests' Of Oregon, not less
than those of the Union, demand the passage
of the Homestead bill, and the speedy construc
tion of the Pacific Railroad measures approv
ed by the Republican party, and only defeated
by the unreasonable and unjust action of the
democracy. '
8. That we regard internal improvements
of a national character a tariff upon imports'
sufficient to meet the current expenses of the
government which shall discriminate in favor
of home industry and the free gift of a home
to him who will cultivate and defend it, as
measures eminently calculated to advance the
interests of free labor, and as ench will be sup
ported by the Republican party.
9. That we earnestly urge upon Congress
the immediate payment of our war debt, as an
act of justice to the people of Oregon, who
ought not to be held responsible for the miscon
duct of either officers or individuals, whether
truly or falsely alleged.
. By the Committee.

in support of Mr. Grover's nomination in the
democratic convention before the form of voting

placed arms in the hands of the friendly Indians
at the reserve, to defend their property from fu
ture forays of this kind. "
