pleasant winter. The snow fell before the
ground was f.or.en, and nil Iho gulches and

The llulfiiln ditch baa been widened, noil

The National Union Convention will be held
at Baltimore on Tuesday tlio 7tb day of Juno
next, to nominate candidate, for President and
Vie" Pres deiit. Tlio call is issued hy the
National Central Union (,'oinmillee, ami in
vite! tlio uctivu co-operation of all who aro
"for maiutiiiuiiig tho Union, the supremacy (if
the Constitution, and tho ooiuplulu suppression
of the existing rebellion, with the causa thereof,
by a vigorous prosecution of tho war by all
right nnd effectual means." Tho apportion
ment of delegates is based upon the ch cloral
vote of each State, nnd tho ratio is two for each
elector. Thii will givo Oregon six delegatei.
Tho platform laid down by the Committee,
upon which tho primary operation! of tho Un
ion men nre to bo hud, Ii one upon which all
Union men cau rally with a will and upon
which they may bo certain of nn ultimate tri
umph. Whoever is for maintaining tho Union
by all rightful and effective meani will partici
pate in the primary conventions of the Union
party, mid accept tho action of the National
Convention ai the basis of further co-operation
for tho complete mppression of tho rebellion
and it! procuring cause. Upon tho unity and
harmony of tlio friends of tho Union in the
next 'residential election, must depend tho
porjioluity of tlio tiovernmeiit. It tney are
divided, tho Union must fall; if they are unit
ed, tflto Union will itiind. Most heartily desir
ing the triumph of tlio Union came both over
rebels in arms and traitors iu peace garments,
we sincerely hnpo that no brand of discord will
bo thrown into the National Convention. No
true, heurty Unionist will by design lay an im
pediment in the way of inocesi. Many, how
ever, may do so by mistake. Designing and
mistaken men, therefore, should not be trusted
boyi.ud the limit! of safety, The season is near
at baud when restive and nneniy epirili will
begin to manifest their itching for some sort of
change In public affairs, They will endeavor
to convince others, as they are themselves con
vinced, that the right men for in nre among
tho out. In thii business their zeal is liable
to outrun their judgment and perhaps their pa
triotism, Look out for that class of men. If,
in the considerate judgment of the people, pub
lic affairs have been so conducted as, by a con
tinuance of iho sumo or a similar line of con
duct, to eventuate in a victory fur the national
cause, very good and weighty reasons should
be given beforo any different lino of conduct
shall be resolved upon. As wo rend the pu
lie expression, the lust year hai developed it
linn conviction in the minds of tho people that
tho proper course iu the main ii being pursued
to bring the war to a close in such manner as
tu bo honorable to. tho Government, and to
guarantee nn enduring peace.
The business of tho National Convention,
then, w ill be to avoid tho disloilguient of that
conviction and with it tho confidence of the
public mind, in Iho safety of tho national poli
cy, Nolhiug should he done, either, to givo
the rebels reason to believe that the Northern
people disavow the policy thus fur pursued iu
the conduct, of tho war. (Jive them once to
understand through the representatives fresh
from the musses that Iho policy of the war is
bucked up by thu united loyal sentiment of tho
North, and the efl'cot will be as diheurtcuin
to tho rebels ns another Chattanooga or Get
tysbnrg lost.
The Union voteri of Oregon have a grave
duly to perform iu connection with the Naliouui
Convention. They are to sea that Oregon1!
deb gales are men who will not only relied thu
sentiment of thu loyal people of nur State, but
that Ibey also join with the Union delegate,
iu the Convention to secure A fair expression
of Iho preference, of tho loyal people of till
tho State,, uuiiillueiiced by pohtioiaus and
demagogues. The people uro right, and oue
of tho most important duties devolving upon
our delegate! will be to sen that they are not
cheated. Too much care cannot, then, bo ex
ercised iu thu icleulioii of those who nre to rep
resent ui in tho choice of candidates for Presi
dent and Vice President.
If tho National C'onventii n shall placo In
Humiliation the choice of the people, tho mo
cess of the Union party at tho eleelion of next
November i, lit once placed beyond a perad
venture. If, on tho other hand, candidates aro
selected who are tho choice not of tho right
hearted people, lint of rotten-hearted jwiti-i-hhu,
with new and untried policies, the re
sult may bo very questionable. We have but
little fears of the hitler contingency, but the
possibility of it! occurrence is sufficient to
awaken anxiety and to demand the exorcise of
vigilance on thu part of the masse, who have
the inoit nt ituke.
The perpetuity of tho Union, the lucceu of
the attempt nt self government, the overthrow
of tho rebellion and the extinction of treason,
an early nnd honorable peace, the destinies of
a great nation, nre about tu bo lubmitted into
the bands el the National Convention. Let in
hope that it will exercise the trust reposed in
its keeping with that care, wisdom, and states
manship which wero so ueuspicuoui trail, iu
the oh'tractor of the founders of tho Union.
Wo can at least assist in securing such action
by a judicious line of conduct iu tho primary
oonveiitioui of the people.
Now wo turn to a very different subject tho
national copperhead convention. Thii body i.
railed to meet at Chicago, on tho 4th day of
Jul). This convocation it invoked hy a spirit
of fuel ions opposition to tho meaaurea thought
by the administration to be necessary to pre
vent traitors from ruining the government.
The only object lought by it, to fur os may be
judged by tho expressions of copperhead speak
ers, politician, and pres., is to defeat the suc
cess of any or all measure, proposed by tho
administration. Wo do not know of a liuulo
measure of tho coiialilutionnl authorities that
meet, tho approval of Ibe fuctiouiaiji who aro
called to meetal Chicago ou the 4th oi July.
Tho confiscation, the federal revenue luwi, tlio
couicriptioiii tho Volunteer bounties, the fede
ral tuveuuo luws, tho federal uiuuagciucul of
our foreign relations, tho domestic policies of
all branche. of the government, all measure!
of war looking to a subjugation of the rebel
lion aud tne crushing out of treasou all, re-
cue tho bitter nppmitiou of copperheads, and
will be authoritatively denounced by the na
tional democratic coiiveuliou. How far this
weeping oppiwiliou to the political policy of
the aduiitiiatrnlion, aud the official action of
the government'! officer., ai disconnected with
politic, goes to the material aid and comlort nl
til rebelliou, is 10 pateut and glaring that it ii
a work almost of supererogation to .peak uf it.
The only astonishing thing about the metier is
that anybody should be found opposiug himself
to the government in tho spirit of rancorous
hatred which the copperhead, display, and not
also found with a nia-ket in hi. hands to use
agamtt the government which lie leenn so
.oiioo. to uVatnve. Th. rule n.!,mt,.t ft
... ,r. ,
perhead Conduct seems to be lo trench a, fur
upon treasonable ground as possible, without -actually
picturing the certainty of a halter, by
way of expiation of political crime. The pur
pose of Iho national copperhead convention
seems naturally to be to devise n ays and means
for making this most successful method of as
sisting treason, lis efl'cctivo in unity of pnrpose,
harmony of autiou, and a system of mutual co
operation can miiko it. Wo can conceive of
tin other purpose for such a convention, for lm
limn, credulity does not extend so fur ai to
credit the existence of a belief in tho mind of
the most, gullible copperhead that a'fnctinn with
such a record, will ever succeed in gaining poi
icsiion of tho government by tho consent of
tho people of tlio United Statei. While they
cannot hope lo regain tho control of the gov
ernment machinery, bo as to formally surren
der it to tho impudent demand! of treason,
they may, and doubtless do, hnpo to so eiiibui
ran the Uniou authorities as to render the suc
cess of the southern conspirator! less doubtful
than nt present. To organize the forces of
treason'! sympathizer! so as to make them ns
formidable as possiblo will ho thu chosen and
fitting work of tlio national democratic conven
tion composed, ns it will be, of men who were
nlwnyi opposed to the idoa of coercing trai
tor! j who have nlwnyi hindered by every poi
liblo art, tho power of th, government when
directed against the rebellion; and who have
never missed an opportunity to alf ml aid to
tho enemies of tho constitution and the Union.
Tho work of helping the rebellion, so fnr m
northern men can accomplish it, ii i"on to bo
confided to tlio manipulations of tho national
copperhead convention, nnd we mpposo Ore
gon will be disgraced by having delegates upon

mocracy Ii moving in thii county. On tho
evening of tho 27th they were to have a Ri and
rally, tlieir speaker. A. J. Thayer, win an
nounced, -and their preparations were to bo
gut np on a grand scale. Uiiuners were sent
to Soap Creek and Long Tom to read to tho
braves, the summons to attend the great convo
cation. After some trou ilc, men wore found
who could read tho notion to tho Soap Creek
era and filing Toininers, it being deemed use
less to post notices before men who could nei
ther read or write. The messengers wero
charged to inform the braves that n magnificent,
bull (ill an old tin shop without window or seats)
awaited tlieir presence. ' Tho high-sounding
phrase oinight tho tickled iuiiuiei of the said
braves, and they came as to a great temple of
worship. The in iriiiug arrived and one of tho
"iliinuiycratio" stars, surrounded by threo or
four satellites, prepared to ruiso tho national
Hog, hoping by this device to betray some of
those demounts who bad united themselves to
tho Union putty ; but it being known that rebel
guerrillas suiuciim.es play that trick, the deceptive
attempt proved abortive. The ni ghty man of
thu Hag-stair win nun G. II. Smith, better
known us Iho "4.i per cent, man," who, with
thu help of two or three smaller snakes, mid
another Indian, finally got tho polo up, gave
three unearthly yells, intended for hii.zalis,
and then dispersed iiitohtllu siiiads, toclmcklj
over the grand preparations, and imbibe "con
stitutional 'reipouMlulily" at the rui inns whisky
shops. Thu evening arrived mid with it the
unwashed braves from surrounding plain, hill
and den. The speaker altar frequently going
to ice "our friend Faulkner," refused to ad
dress so intelligent an audience utilesi they
would go to tin, eiiurt house. After a long con
sultaliou with Ilia old friend, E. L. P., it was
agreed the crowd should go to the court liousu
in solemn procession of tuo and two, for mu
tual protection and support. A "largo and
enthusiastic" usscmbliige of about thirty waa
soon after congregated at the place designated,
and thu orgies began. Thu orator struck an
attitude and Iho hosts became admiringly si
lent. After giving them iiilliciout time to won der
at his congressional uir and attUttilc, tho
speaker opined his gales and poured forth de
nunciations of tho administration and all its
measures ; warned the braves to beware of tho
Provost Marshal ; eulogized tlio distinguished
Canadian exile, Valhiudighaui, n'.d others of
lilto faith fur Iheir noble efforts to put down tho
government, and branded the Union parly as
a bund ot ahutilioiiuls ! The uiitii had evi
dently forgot that when ho returned hum
Washington ha declared that the only true
way to put down tho rebellion was to arm tlio
negroes with kuilo and torch. The poor frac
