Tho N. Y. Timu make tho following cati- thia Diatrict to fight a duel. Ho waive tho uanal laat wort of the non-duolint, tho aucr- wm grooted with deafening kpplnnae. Ho Miitonded thnt the majority platform would nominate Mr.

Land Okpwb, Oregon City, Mav 12th. 1WI0, delegate who attended tbe convention held in Salem on the 14th we regret that they wero, nnder th cironmttanoe, almott obliged 1 to remain in and take part with that body." Who were "our delegate! Pickard' meeting that poaaed theae reaolutiont eomiated of delegate and other! from Souther precinct and other part! of the county. Thoy were mottly dimppointed office-aeekert, bolter, and disorganizing mal-oontent. Onr delegate" probably meant thorn delegate! who are of the lame tort, lent there to bolt, disorganize, and deitroy the party, if notaible.

What circum-itancoa" "almoat obliged them to remain in, and take part with that body 1" No constraint wm ofTered nobody nrged them to ttay nobody intimated that the convention would be lonely without them and nobody would have oared a tnap of the finger whether they re- niaincd or went ont. They Hayed, after the platform wna presented and adopted. Their candidate got tquare-toed and flat-footed" on to it (and that by their advice,) and our delegates" voted for them while itanding on thnt anti-demooratio" platform. They ap. proved it, and would tupport it," till they found othor men wore chosen, when they tumbled In-glorionaly off, and have been full of regret" ever aince.

The whole matter lie in a nutshell. The gentlemen who received the nomination are emphatically hostile to Lane and J. D. Smith. Theae beotlc-hoadi hoped to nominate one or two who arc secretly favorable to Lane it Co.

TIIK rOTTKM AND PBYOR Below we give the writtpondeno between Mr. Pryor, of and Mt. Potter, of Wlacon. in, both member of the IIohto. Pryor challenged Potter for worth ipoken in debate i Juit before the Room adjourned on the Afternoon of the 11th Initant lion.

Tn. Statesman Sir In the Delazmian of April 24th, I notice a ecnrrilom communication from E. Grove, in which he endeavor to read me a leotnre about "lower organizations." This tame E.

There wat no ancb toat offered or made either by tlie committre nr the convention.
