" Even when nmt severely as aalted by the organs of the fnetiuu which nom inated Mr. Stont, Tor refusing to yield to him SWa fcmiiM, MUHMiftlhl hAlrt. mnHArf rtia.l. would hare accorded to a democratic candi date, regularly and fairly nominated, we for bore to adduce, hi previous political character and history, in onr own defence ; coutcnt to let Utt democratic masses judge as to the tnanuer of the nomination, without reference to the can&date. Now, Mr. Stont cannot be affect ed, either personally or politically, by a refer ence to hi political antecedents, which, indeed, are now a matter of general notoriety. We shall therefore be acquitted of anv design to rail Mr. Stoat itr. when we tLfm it neccs- srsrr to call ailuunon 1.1 n'S uraier inxiiieai rec- ord. in co!i3cci:on with a nntier cf tiio very 1 hiheit i.;j;wirtiaco to the democratic prty. We nr. then, as of itself r.-ua a cikh! an.l sufficient reason why the democratic repreixnt aUoa of this State should not ba?ctl upmi the vote received "by Mr. ?tmit, that that vote was inflaenced by the fact tint t! d ontleman is wit boat a democratic record nit jUnt to en title hint to the confidence of th.

It whs ahn rteJ daring the eanvase. that Mr. Stont bad all bi -file breat fat opposition to the democratic party, aad had never, ezeept very recently in Oregon, voted a detnocrat ticket. Of course many life-long democrats, to whose ears thee thing were brovghu did not cozuider theatre! vet bound by5 their party obligations t seaport a CAieJiilite wM n.h a reeorJ ; aad there w no doabt bat tht JXr Sfctnt's an.cseder.U. taken la coemection wfeii the manner of bis uosi'.'.u.- tioa, lost him a great many d era sciatic vte. , For there wore donbtleas mnny oeioi ratio vo ters, who would have ovei'pl ee o1ifUoR l to the democratic, candidate, yet who evul J not withstand (in swell serine owes. AVe have j good grosmds for belieTieg that the same Cm.-U 1 wkkh eansed many deraccrat uwitLhakl their nSragee from Mr. Stoat, in JtceJ a hrje nam bcr of the opposition to vote for him. This Was the ease throoghoot the State, as far as we eaa learn from the most reliable sources, thongh in some counties Mr. Stout received a larger proportion ef the opposition vote than ill oth ers. At all events, it is clear that Mr. Stunt did not poll the democratic vote of the State, or aaythiug near it ; while to those counties ahich gave him the largest majorities, the poll-books will show that he received a large number of opposition votes. The precedent has always been, ta the dem ocratic party, to base the ratio of representa tion upon the democratic vote, which is mraullr approxLttaicly d termined by the vote given for the democratic candidate ; or, if there are sev eral candidates, that oae is selected who coxes . nearest to having received a itricllc party vote. Thos, Gov. Whiteaker'a vote was the basis of representation in the last convention. There were candidates on the State ticket last year who had received more and fewer votes than Gov. Whiteaker. His vote was selected as the , . i , xaf iaire, 'iistest aua main iiroin-r o.tri- ui . . , ..Mil if 1 1 1 n ,' yi a ft;ttv!inn ur ror rr. ,r . ", .

Yet such a baria vcuid have been much fairer, niach jus'.c than a bari-t cji on the vote of Mr. Stout. The ci. li ia-, f. r State Printer had a democratic ve.r 1 of i:;-ny years' standing ; be had never 1n.-vu aaytbuig else poliiically, than a democrat ; I.o had x Curly noairaated. iu optn ennveutioa. havi ig bi-B k ir.a n as a candidate f r .i.:itlm iw I V. the ia"eting of the e-mvention nh'ch no id.ia ted hi.n.

Lane's Oregon constitu ency , ih an iuftated idea of hit consequence, an4 thus eoutrihote to kaep htm up at home. We Have beeu a long time satisfied that this was the occasion, and the sole office of the par agraphs which hireling letter-writers some times incorporate iuto their letters to th press, and paid idlers occasionally send over the tele graph wires ru the subject of " Gen. Lane, of Oregon, ami Ce Charleston Convention." For instance, let as suppose Lane a rites to Ilibben, who is at Washington, that a few newspaper puffs of himself as a probable Presidential can didate, would help hi falling fortunes in Ore gon. Ilibben invites some Mter writer to in dulge with him in oysters mid champagne, per haps a "plate of row," and plain whisky, and then, of course, tho conversation over tho bivalves and the botili, easily gets a paragraph in tho next correspondence of said letter-writer, to the effect that "a meeting w 6mm to be held of the prontiuent statesman from all parts of the Union, to commit ns to tho best menus of bringing Gen. Lane prominently forward r.s a candtbite before the Charleston Convention." Or that "Mr. Buchanan. Jeff. Davis, and all the members of the Cabinet nre for Ocu. Lane, of Oregon, for the succession." Or the tlmu- saud and one paraphrases of these. Perhaps Ilibben pays the agent of wh it is tailed "tho Associated Press" (associated for the purpose j id" taking tchgrrp'i dispatcher) t. send sor.e : liiog cf thi hind r cr the ti'lejjr.iph wirs, nnd iins it obtahw a wider circaiaon.

It is one of tiw;r u'uKf t and most common tricks. AnJ. t!e?re is no doubt in onr mind tliat this is the source ef the faiut expression concerning Gen. Iine." The following eitr.nl jmhi the "?iHctttl Washington Correspondent of the Sirmmto Uio, duted Wnauinon. D. C. J"!v l! Iiy," will give our render an iizht to t!ie I matter. We italicize poriioun of it : j Y Of. Joaeph Lane, who has leen so e'enrlr svp5at.-ttl a Oregon, sent trn here post haste i ' ri, i-s of lel.'ers by tne last steamer, tfiiimg that tome sort ef demonstration might be made in nr.nec!ion tr';Jk hit name Jor the Presidency, AS SBCE88ARV T BIS POLITICAL 8ALVATIOS IX Oekoox. This - demonstration" has been ' ra1e by one or ttm political trire-pullrrs here, t:nd th'mtfch the Assorimed Press it has been telegraphed all orer the I'nion. There never traj coiwocUmI a baser fahricatinn. The tr.We movement is a political dodge, got up to restore -i leaning of political popultirity. Gen. Lane is no luorff talked of for the Hrwulency than John Nugent, and it U doubtful if the people f Oregon are to be gnlled by so tran?p:ireiil a aiiam. Even one of t'ns Adininixtntinn orgniiA here, (the Star) in it ignorance of thi move ment, innocently etatea that it is nbabte that tien. L. knows nnthinjr about it, nn l wniiM not countenance it if he did. Gen. Lane and th Oregon War Debt are two hobbies uhlch will not work together. T!iey here repudiate the most nhnozioos of the two. Here we have the interesting d:.e!oure that Gen. La:ie. when he uncovered the ttuipiT of the Oregon democracy towards him. r.n.l that 'uj "pijolanty" was gone, "wrote a series of letters to Washington, asking that some sort cf demonstration migitt be made in connection tciut his name for the Prtsidenry a necessary:- h-s political talxatio in Oregon.'' And, thi cor respondent add, "one or trvo political rvire pullers,' of the HibTjcn sort.

Pr.EST.DESTt.YL. Mr. Buchanan has written a ielUi aajing he w ill not be a candidate for re eiectioa. A private letter cf Gov. Wise, of Vir -giuia, to a X.

Wixe says Douglas will not be nominated, but thinks his own chance good. The publication of this letter baa created quite a stir in political cir cles.

The utmost that fairness could require would be to award to the reply the same space occupied by Mr. Fisher, a liitle over a column, we think. And even that could not bo demanded as a right. For Mr. Pcante has a paper of his own in the country ; Mr. Fitfber had noue, nnd no ocnominatioiial organ. That being tho case, we thought he Lad claim to a hearing iu a secular journal. 5ut, notwithstanding, wc will yield a column to a reply to Mr. Fisher, if the editor of the Advocate can compress his answer iuto that limit.
