Iff o'clock, a. m., on Thursday, the 7th day of April, 1870; in Delegate-Convention, for the pur pose of placing in nomination a State Tirket to be supported at the approach 'mg election in June, and the transac tion of such other business as shall proablc come before said Convention.

B. Odexeal, Secretary. Portland, January 19, 1870. Political Trickery. It is rumored that the Democratic County Central Committee has changed its intention in regard to postponing the convention for nomination of coun ty officers, and will call the convention at an early day. "Wc do not give the report much credence. The majority of the committee are too much under the control of the "bed rock" faction, to do anything in the premises without their direction, and we do not believe the assembling of the county conven tion, in seasonable time, to be a part of the "bed rock" programme. That the committee will follow the v directions- of this faction, in the mat ter, can hardly be controverted. The chairman of the committee has already given proof of his devotion to "bed rock" interests. "While chairman of the recent convention for selection of State delegates, he seemed to think, and acted accordingly, that no honor in the appointment of the chair was great enough for the supporters of this wing, and none small enough for those who did not belong to the ring. The patronage -of the chair, by way of small appointments, was given, almost exclusively, to those of the straightest and most undoubted "bed rock" predi lections. Alas, poor Songcrl "he loved, not wisely, but too well." lie came near being the "Corbin" of the "bed rocks", of whom James Fisk, Jr., says, "Every scheme hc.lays his hands on withers. He probably never touched any one but Mr. Gould and myself, who did not die, and he came near being the death of us both." We feel satisGcd that the original plan of putjing the nominations off un til just on the eve of the election, in order to paralyze opposition and pre clude exposure of political trickery, will be steadfastly adhered to, and that no amount of murmuring will drive the committee and their ''bed rock"' co-conspirators from their design. No coodfeason can be assigned for this measure of postponement. It is prima facie a measure of political trickery, antt'tf persisted in, ought to convince etcry independent Democrat in the county, who goes in for a "lair show," that the only honorable and manly course for him to follow, is to act and vote' against such combinations and their fraudulent nominees. Xo sattterfrom what party they may de rive their claims for public patronage. It maybe Raid, "still these nominees, albeit, they got their nomination ihtongh trickery and wire pulling, may bc good men." Xo good man would trivefor a nomination in a party where ho 'knew he was not the choice of a fair majority, nd th attempt of any one to do this is proof enough that he is politically dislioncstj and ought not to-receivc public approbation.

Senator "Williams, yesterday, sub mitted the following resolution for con sideration: Jtesohed, That to add to the present irredeemable paper currency of the country would be to render more aim cult and remote the resumption of spe cie payments, to encourage and ioster the spirit of speculation, to aggravele tne evils produced by trequent and sudden fluctuations of values, to de preciate the credit of the nation, and to' check the healthful tendency of le gitimate business to settle down upon a sate and permanent basis: and there fore, 'In the opinion of the Senate, the existing volume of such currency ought uui io oe increased. It was adopted, immediately, by the Senate, EETEXTIXG DE1IOCEA.CY. 'From every stormy wind that Wows, "From every wclllng tide of woes, "There is a calm, a tore retreat " 'Tis found beneath the mercT seat." Ex-senator Hendrick, who was one of the Democratic proposed candidates for the Presidency, in place of Seymour, recently, in a speech in New Orleans, advised the Democracy of Louisiana to repent for their past abuses of our colored population, and he was sure "the negro would have mercy on the Democracy," vote for Democrats, and place the Democrats in power, and drive the "carpet baggers" out of of fice. He said the negro had been en franchised without the consent of the Democracy, but as the 15th amendment had been adopted, it was now their duty to accept the situation. Treat this race kindly, court their favor? and seek their votes; not through fear, but affection and common interest This is the good effect of the 15th amendment. It tends to stop the flagrant outrages of ex rebels against the colored race. It makes peace in place of war between the two races. BCT THE COLORED SENATOR From Mississippi has not yet ob tained his seat in the Senate. Demo cracy is discordant. While Hendricks is pouring oil over the troubled waters of Xew Orleans; Saulsbury, Garret Davis, and other shining lights of the unharmonious Democracy, are denoun cing tho colored population in the Senato of the United Stales. The Democracy oppose tho admis sion of Mr. Revels on the ground that he is a negro, and that no negro was a citizen of the United States prior to the civil rights bill, and the adoption of the 14th amendment to the Consti tution. The Constitution requires a a Senator to be 9 years a citizen of the United States, and it has not been 9 years since negroes were made citizens by the civil rights bill, and the 14th amendment to the Constitution. The Democrats contend that the Dred Scott decision is the true exposition of the constitution. Mr. Davis was long and very precise pn this subject ; Mr. Saulsbury was lively and animated dur ing his whole speech. In conclusion, he remarked he had but little hope for tho future of his country. lie would avert, if possible, this threatened ca lamity; he would reserve to our white posterity this heritage bequeathed by onr honored and noble ancestry to their white descendants. He recognized, however, that his own efforts would not avail, and, therefore, in resuming his seat, he would utter his solemn pro test against this proceeding, in behalf of a revolutionized country. Mr. Drake, during the remarks of Mr. Saulsbury, made the statement that Mr. Revels was neither a negro nor a mulatto, but an octoroon, and that he made the statement otic of compassion for the mental sufferings of his friend, (Mr. Saulsbury,) upon the probability of being compelled to associate in the Senato with a jet black man. Mr. Williams remarked, that Chief Justice Taney expresslv limited trn Drcd Scott decision to those with pure African blood in their veins, and whose ancestors had been sold as slaves. But was there any evidence that the ances tors of Mr. Revels were included in this category. On the contrary, it had appeared in the discussion that Mr. Revels was a man with a large propor tion of white blood, and it followed necessarily that some oL.his ancestors were not slaves. Upon the whole, in view ot all the authorities, Iesral "s otherwise, Mr. Revels had always been citizen ot the United States." i The Republicans are unanimous that Mr. Revels is not technically a negro, and some of them denounce tho Drml Scott case as a partizan decision, and agaiuoi. iue spirit, and true meaning of tho Constitution. There is no donbt of Mr, Revels' admission. ir. wnnTEMouE, a vrnrrE"JiAs; from South Carolina, was put put of the House, yesterday, while the Senate was debating the propriety and consti tutionality of filling Jeff. Davis'-seat with a colored citizen. i - Day before yesterday the Military Committee of the House reported a re solution toexpellMr. Whittemore from the House, on the ground that he had received a thousand and fifteen hun dred dollars for recommending a cadet to tho Military Academy at "West Point. Mr. Butler moved to postpone the resolution for further consideration until Thursday, which was lost by 187 yeas to 35 nays. This showed the spirit of the House, and Mr. "Whitte more immediately telegraphed his re signation to tho Governor of "South Carolina, who accepted it by telegraph. After this resignation was announced in the House, Mr. Logan, chairman of the Committee on Military Affairs, of fered this resolution : Jiesolced, That B. F. "Whittemore, late member from the 1st district on bouth Carolina, did make appointments to the Military Academy at "West Point, and to the Xaval Academy at, Annapolis, in violation of law, and that such appointments were influenced by pecuniary considerations, and that his conduct in the premises has been such as to show him unworthy of a seat in the House of Representative, and is therefore condemned as conduct un worthy of a representative of the peo ple. This resolution was adopted unani mously, yeas, 185 ; nays, none. The Military Committee are still in vestigating these frauds, and is rumored there are more carpetbaggers and sev eral Democrats who richly deserve the same fate. INDIAN' war 1855-G. The appropriation for the Oregon and Washington Indian "War expenses is still unexpended. Ashel Bush com menced the war on these claims by publishing a pack of infamous lies against the claims. Gen. "Wool and R. J. Atkinson, 3d Auditor, repeated these lies, vt hich delayed our appropri ation from 1S5G to 1661. Alter the- appropriation this "time honored Dem ocrat" inaugurated a system of deduc tions and delays, which rendered the whole claim almost worthless to Ore-: rvnn Anil W a r. 1. 1 T1 ? fTM gonand Washington Territory. Tiie appropriation was to small, but owing to Bush and "Wool's lies, and Atkin son's crazy ruling in adjudicating these claims, nearly a half a million of dol lars of the appropriation is unexpended. The following is a true statement Ml the amount of tho appropriation, and the amounts expended, which has been kindly furnished me, for publication, by the present acting 3d Auditor. Amount appropriated, (Act, 2d March. 18G1.) l'ay to the Ore gon and Washington Volun teers. S100.000 00 Balance to ihe credit of appropri- auon, tet. i, ibJO 135,165 88 Amount expended $261,831 12 Amount appropriated, (Act, 24 March, 18Ct.i for Transpor tation. Services, Jcc, Oregon and Washington Volnnteers.$21400,000 00 Balance, to the credit of apprpri- ation, Feb. I, 1870 309.237 77 Amount expended, S2.090.7C2 23 From this it will be seen that the amount of the appropriation still unex pended is $444,403 Co. The loss of the use of this amount, and tho whole balance of the Oregon and Washing ton war debt, is justly attributable to Bush, Wool, and Atkinson, and their unblushing, lying correspondents. Ore con has not only lost her debt, but her good name, which is dearer to her than mere dollars and cents. It is but justice to say that Mr. Clarke, soon alter ho was appointed 3d Auditor, and the present acting Audi tor, has made set eral more liberal de cisions, which have settled many claims which Mr. Atkinson arbitrarily sus pended, in 1862,. without authority, and', contrary to tne letter, spirit, and mean ing ot the statute.

Respond to it promptly by commencing a course of HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BIT TERS, a preparation uniting, in lip?r highest excellence, the properties of a MiJiuLAXT, an ixvigokaxt, and an ALTEHAnvE. Before three days have elapsed, from the taking of the first dose, a marked beneficial change will be manifest in tho bodily and mental condition of tho patient. The pulse will be stronger and more regular, the eye will beirin to lose its dull expression, the muscular and nervous systems to recover their tension, and the spirits to improve. Persevere, and a complete revivification of the depressed animal and mental powers is certain. In cases of dyspepsia and biliousness, the same salutary results will be obtained. The appetite will revive, the sallowness of the skin disappear, and all the distress ing symptoms which accompany dis orders of the stomach and liver, will rapidly subside. The cold of winter often intensifies these complaints by checking the perspiratory action, by which so much morbid matter is evapor ated through the pores in milderweather, and therefore the BITTERS are espe cially useful to tho dyspeptic and bili ous at this season.
