There were strong reasons for the charge that that nomination was effected by promises of 1 office to members of the caucus, and by decep-j tiou.

However, Mr.

Reed was elected, and at the time appointed appeared at Salem, and took his seat in the convention.

Lane, finding, as he passes over the State, that dissatisfaction with hint is not confined (as Hfbben told him,) to "Uie politicians," but that it has taken possession of the people, and pervades the country, has lost control of his temper, and his usual policy, and is very bitter and denunciatory.

Geary's bonds were received and approved by his predecessor, CoL Nesmith, and he is therefore authorized to disburse such funds as were in Superintendent Xesmith's hands, and transferred to him, at the time of the change of officials.

The Lane society are very industrious in circulating the story that Grover did not deliver his published speech upon the war debt in the House of Representatives that be wrote it out and ltad it printed. So busy are they in peddling this report, that we hear it from every part of the State. Mr. Grover did deliver the speech upon the flocr of the House, and, after what has transpired, to give currency to such a slander, is getting pretty low down." Grover was the only man of our delegation who ever did t-ay anything upon the war debt, to the jinf, upon the floor. of Conrress, and the only one of them who knew anything ultout it.

Oregon is radically democratic. Public opinion is undergoing no real change. Negro equality and its kindred heresies will cut as sorry figure for ten years to come as they do now. The present ferment will likely go on. if our supply of great men does not fail, until the Charfe.tton convention; after which nearly the same men will settle down, with the same one or two thousand majority as in the days of yore.

Did Lase Interfere ix the Sexatoriai, Election I When Delazon Smith found that there was a disinclination to support him on the part of some members of the Legislature, supposed to be under Lane's influence, an express was sent for him. and he was brought to Salem. He professed after his arrival here, to be non-committal. Prior, however, to the meeting of the caucus at which Smith was nominated. Lane gave a sociable" at which the brandy and wine flowed freely, and all went merry" as a marriage bell." Next morning Smith proclaimed tnat it was all right" with him.

Lamson, of Yamhill, after the arrival of Lane, clmnged from Grover to Smith. Shelby as instructed for Williams Hannah and lledges instructed for Curry and some others changed to Smith. Gen. Lane's presence here may have had nothing to do with these changes, but it does'nt look that way to a man np a tree. When every reasonable effort liad been made to elect Smith without success, and after the adjournment of the Legislature on Friday, the day lieforeits final adjournment, there was a disposition manifested by some of Smith's and rover's friends to compromise and elect Williams.

For a time things looked as though this would be done, but Lane laltored through Friday night in conjunction with Smith, to defeat it. The old General became very indignant at the proposed compromise, declaring in a most violent manner that no man was a democrat that would go into such an arrangement, and that if Smith could not be elected, no one eLe should lie. It is generally believed that through this interference by Lane, the election of Williams was prevented. Lone wanted no one else elected so that he could combine with Smith, and secure Linn County for himself next year. While his counties, or those he claims, be knows will not go for Smith, with him.

He accuses him of having deserted the true democratic platform in every item, and of having damaged the South by every act of his administration, and of having presented a federal policy which, in its hole outline and filling up, exceeds any federalism in all its points which a Hamilton or Adams, or any other lalitudinarian, ever dared to project or propose."

OBBGOV rOMTICS. The Democratic party of Oregon hare got into a snarl on account of the action of their late Convention to nominate a candidate for Congress. It seems that a large majority of the party were in favor of the re-election of Mr. Grover, but that gentleman had become ol-noxious to Senator Lane, and the wires were set to defeat his nomination in Convention, which was accomplished by means of a side caucus. A majority of the delegates were friends of Grover, and every body supposed he would be nominated on the first ballot but the friends of the other candidates held a secret caucus, and by souie means they induced a number of rover's friends to attend it, under a promise to vote in Convention for whoever received the caucus nomination.

The caucus was held expressly to defeat Grover, and quite a number of that gentleman's friends had no better sense than to attend it, and ere thus made instruments in defeating the wishes of the people. The result was that Lansing Stout received the caucus nominaUon and was subsequently nominated in Convention Mr. rover's friends who attended the caucus being compelled to rote against their first choice. The means resorted to for the pnrpose of de feat ing Grover has created great indignation among hi friends, and mtnr Kara sheriff of Siskiyou county is missing, and one conjecture is, that be has leen murdered for his money and valuables and another there, is uie nion. The government lias forwarded instructions to Utah, requesting Gen.

Johnson not to order out the troops a a posse commitatus unless upon a requisition from Governor Cumming. The President also informed the Mormons, through Governor Camming, that the amnesty granted by the lYesident's proclamation, extern! only to political offenses, and that judge Cradlebaugh did wrong only in calling on Geu. Johnson for troops. Judge Cradlebaugh ha been removed. clared all 11 can't beat," is sufficient to destroy Grover.

If Grover does his duty he will make tkecu sick of that game, for he has facts enough to place them both in an unenviable light, as public servants, before the people. Grover was the only man in the delegation who did anything or the war debt, or knew anything about it. if reports do not belie Mr. SoiiJi he was not in a condition support that, or anything else. Gen.

Lane could Jo nothing to further the payment of the war debt for he knows nothing abont it. The abstracts and papers upon hich the claim rests, were received at Washington in November 18o7; and yet we are informed, (not by Mr. Grover.) that when Mr. Grover arrived there in December, publicans, and ever)" body else, can but join in the laugh at it. However Mr.

Reed is, on the whole, something of an improvement upon the editorial staff of the Sentinel, lie is less frequently guilty of violations of the orthographical and syntactical rnles of Messrs. Murray and Webster, than his predecessors in the editorial chair of that sheet. Indeed, he makes a quite readable article and those of its readers who have been often completely bew ildered and befogged in endeavoring to follow its luminous senior through half a column of stuff, travestied from the N. Y. Day-Book, which nobody not even himself understood, must be exceedingly gratified to learn that Re-d "writes for it," and that at least a portion of the editorial matter of that interesting hebdomadal is couched in plain English, that he has absconded.

The latter conjecture is based upon his defalcations as sheriff. CP B. F. Washington, collector of the port of San Francisco, and administration, publishes a letter advising the coming administration State convention in California, avoid the slavery issue, and exclude it from their plat form. leStf, eleven months afterwards, the most tf Magoffin, the democratic candidate for however much it may lack in common sense.
