SUtDVT MORXISG, APRIL 8, 1800.
The Doraocrucy hud a ratification
meeting last night, which was rather
u faint effort, bat was probably the
host they could do under the circums
fttances.
ANOTttttt Bteam tug boat is to be
placed oh the Columbia river bar im
mediately, where one is much needed,
nnd it is hoped that no selfish combin
ation will freefce her out Ibis time.
Govt. Fbuohtb The lowest bids
for freights received by the Quarter-
master's Department at Fort Dalles
yesterday afternoon, were about 7o to
(Jump Watson, and 14o to Camps
Wright and Currey.
The Oregonian says there is no dan'
cr that the steamer Montana will be
Kought off. She is doing a very prof
itable business, even at the reduced
rates. It is to be hoped that so im
portant a trade and traffio as ours
with San Francisco will not again be
left to the mercy of a monopoly.
A dispatch from Salem to the Ore
fjonian, says that thero is great dissat
isfaction manifested there at the re
mit, of the two State Conventions in
tboir nominations. Rumors were in
circulation to the effect that conserva
tive men of both parties were work
ing to organize an independent party
to run a ticket upon a Johnson plat
form. Joking on Facts. Yesterday when
the steamer arrived, tho returning de
mocratic, delegation brought with
them a large white flag, on which was
vpuinlod in staring blackJoUers, "J. K.
Kelly, for Governor," and which was
stuck up before a well known place in
town. Shortly after, a strangor pass
ing looked up at it ani remarked,
"Selling out at cost, to close buai-ueBs!"
They iiaVb Done It. The democ
racy, after a long and labored' session;
adjourned on Friday, at 7 o'clock, p. M.
We published yesterday thcirplalform
and the following are tho State nomi
nations: For Congress, J. D. Fay, of
Jackson; for Governor, Jas. K. Kelly,
of Wasco; for Secretary of State, La
fayette Lane, of Multnomah; for State
Treasurer, J. C. Bell, of Marion; for
Slate Printer, Jas. O'Mera, of Linn.
For Judge of the First Judicial Die.
trict, P. P. Prim. For Prosecuting
Attorneys as follows: 1st district, J.
R. Neil; 2d district, G. B Dorris; 3d
district, J. W, Johnson; 4th district,
E A. Cronin; 5tb district, J. II. Slatef.
If tbe Democracy had the most re
mote hope before the convention of
electing their State ticket, they hnvo
rishly and foolishly destroyed it.
That hope lay in their putting up
men who had never strongly com
mitted thomselves as being in sympa
thy with the defunct slaveholders re
bellion ; but true to their instincts,
they have nominated "a ticket on
wbiuh there is but one man who' has
not rendered himself obnoxious to all
good men by bis treasonable efforts to
paralyze the strength of our people, iB
order that secession might succeed.
Tboir tntocedents damn thorn, and
the people will ratify that much of
their antecedents in June.

On their way to Idaho and Montana.
The steamers Pacific and Montana, which
will sail hence thia morning for Portland,
Oregon, will carry up a number of sturdy
and hard-fitted miners, who have determined
to try their fortunes in tbe much Taunted
cold fields to be found in tbe Territoies of
Idaho and Montana.. Tbe major portion of
tbem will cross tbe Rocky Mountains and
proceed to tbe Blackfoot diggings on tbe
eastern slope of tbe moumains. Tbe mining
district, witb tbe principal city, Helena, is
located in tbe Prickly Pear valley, on tbe very
bead waters of tne upper Missouri river, uenr
the dividing ridge separating tbe Columbia
and Missouri waters ; the distance between'
the two slopes, via " Mullnu's Pass," is so
liort that tbo traveler can drink from tbe
impid waters of the Co'umbia in the moru-
ng, and crossing tbo divide," quaff tbe
water of tbe Missouri at noon. Blackfoot is
about 470 miles northwest fioro Walla Ynlln,
n Washington Territory, and Some 150 miles
sputli of Fort Benton wbicb is tho highest
point that steamboats from St. Louis have
yet retyfbed on tbe upper Missouri, We are
nformed by a gentleman who belonged to
tbe expedition, that Mullan'g party found
gold on tbe Missouri as early as 1858, while
engaged in building a Government rond
through that country. That party was com
posed mostly ot men who bad mined in '4!)
in California ; they had become so disgusted
with their Adventures at Frazer river, Ii. C,
nnd joined tbe Government party in order to
have an opportunity to return to tbe Atlan
tic states, via tbe Missouri, so soon as they
should reach Fort Benton. Tbey, however,
knew what a gold bearing country was, and
8 aid : " Before many years a second Cahfor-
nia in early days, will- be opened up here "
just where tbe celebrated Blackfoot mines
now are. Tbe Government road party also
lound rea nermatite iron ore, traces of cop
per, plumbago, etc. Cinuabar is said to ex
ist along tbe Hellgate, and at a point along
tbe upper Missouri. Goal is found on tbe
upper Missouri, and a depositof cannel coal
near the " Three Buttes,"' northwest of Fort
Benton is supposed to exist. In this con
nection we may observe that tbe Oregon
Steam Navigation Company are having btrlt
a steamboat at tbe foot of the Pen d'Oreillo
Lake, intending to run here some eighty
miles to the bead of tbe lake ; thence to
Blackfoot is about 230 miles. The steamer
will bo completed early in April, when Mr.
Win. K. Isb, of Oiegon, will place a line of
stages upon tbe line, to connect with the O.
S. N. Company's steamers at some point on
the uoiumola perhaps at Wallula or lux
louso Landing ; thetice, via steamboat on the
Lake to tbe mines. Tbe fare from the Co
lumbia, including the Lake passage, will be
5100. Now that the nre hence to I'ortlanri
Oregon, is put down so low, it is estimated
tbat tbe sum of $130 will amply suffice to
carry a person from San Francisco into tbe
Blackfoot mines. S. t. Hag, March iltt.
