TuE MARYLAND WHIG CoN,LNTIoN, at Bal
tmore, has appointed Clay delegates, aud de-
clares Mr.. Clayt to be its first choice for the Pres
dency.
"PoroMAC." Washington correspond
ent of the Baltimore Patriot writes as follows,
under date of 10Th inst:
"New candidates, compromise candidates, are
now seriously talked of by the Wings at the
seat of Government. Some are for running Crit
lenden and Abbot Lawrence, while Others are
for running Scott and Mangum. Some hold on
for Clay, and others for Taylor. A great change
it working, at all events. You will soon see the
results"
o. The Cleveland Hereld, one of the ablesl
Wing papers in Ohio, says that Mr.. Clay cannot
get the vote of Ohio. There are enough Of
Wings scattered all over the State, who have de
termlned not to vote this lime for Shareholder
to lose him the Statc.-.4tids.

More ofthe Counterfeiters.

We understand that Messrs. Prentiss, Clark
and Young, paid another visit to Barnston
during the past week, and seized, upon the
premises ofSamuel Davis, quantity of Mex
lean dollars,parts of several dies, some cruel
bles for melting metals and slips for altering
Perkins stereotype bank Plates to nine diff
ferent Banks, with slips for the various towns
where the Banks are located, and also slips
for Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont
The counterfeit plates were engraved with
out the name of the Bank, the town or State
where the Bank is located, but space left in
which the names of each could be inserted.
The slips are made of copper to fit the space
in the plate, with the name ofthe Bank, town
and State engraved thereon and when the
manufacturers wish to run off bills upon diff
ferent Banks, they just change the slips,-so
these slips arc rather important instruments
in the manufacture of counterfeit bank bills.
1t is believed thorough uprooting of this
business in this section of the country has
been effected. We understand quite a num-
Der ofindividuals, supposed to have been en-
gagged in counterfeiting, have within few
days left the Province,-Stanstead Journal.

The Oregon Massacre.

The substance of the news from Oregon
was given in our last. We notice that Mr.
Collamer, in the House, expressed, in strong
terms, his condemnation of the policy which
had sent to Mexico n regiment, raised, under
the authority of Congress, for the express
purpose of protecting Oregon.
The occasion of the massacre is thus sta
ted in a letter dated Dec 80:
81 presume you are aware that fever and
dysentery has been raging here and in this
vicinity, i'm consequence of which n great
number of Indians have been swept away but
more especially at the Doctors place, where
he attended upon the Indians. About thirty
souls of the Cayuse tribe died one after a.
mother, who eventually believed the Doctor
poisoned them, and in which opinion they
were unfortunately confirmed by one of the
Doctors party. AS far MS | have been able
to learn, this has been the sole cause of tile
dreadful butchery.
The ringleaders in this horrible butchery
nre Teloqncit, his son Big Belly, Tamsuchy,
Estcus, Toumoulsh, &c. understand from
the interpreter that they were making one
common grave for the deceased.
The houses were stripped of everything in
the shape of property, but when they came
to divide the spoil they fell out among them
selves, and all agreed TO put back the proper

of December, and on the 9Th the Governor
communicated by special message TO the
Legislature the particulars of the massacre,
which took place on the Goth November. The
Legislature Immediately authorized the Gov
ernor to issue proclamation for raising 500
volunteer troops TO make war on the Indians,
and also Il company ofriflemen TO occupy the
mission premises. The company was form

the fate of their companions, but were mnde

This was accomplished through the efficient
intervention of Peter Sken Ogden, chief fac
tor ofthe Hudson Bay Company.
BY the 9Th of january, four battles had
taken place between the people of the Terri
tory and four tribes of the Indians: the Cay
uses, Walla Walas, Shastees, and Days.
These engagements were not attended with
much loss. The Oregon regiment having
been reinforced so as to number 500 men,
took up its line ofmarch for the Walln Walla.
On the 18th Of February the enemy appear

of battle was formed. The engagement

A FULL CONVERT. When the North Star
published Gen Cass' letter repudating the
Wilmot Proviso, calling it an important State
paper worthy of grave consideration, we VEN
tured the hint that the Star was under convic-
ton and to predict that it would probably be-
come a convert TO Gen Cass' views.
Our neighbor WINGED little at the time, but
the leaven was working, and since the nomn-
alton of the General 10 the Presidential chair,
all doubts have vanished.
The anti Wilmot- Proviso views of Gen. Cass
form no objection to the ticket-"We support
the ticket because we believe it to be a good
one-aS goodperhaps as could hare been select
ed,' so says the Star, and SO we ventured to
predict, although it excited little of its ire at
the time But times alter. Alas for the poor
slaves!

Editor of the Atlas, writing from Washington
says
AT the baltimore Convention, the members
who were in favor of Gen. Cass, used as an
argument against Judge Woodbury., that Cass
could, if Nominated, take Ohio from the Wings.
This story they used with considerable effect;
The Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1837-1867, 1848-06-10

people began to believe they were in earnest,
and in order to test the sincerity of their pro-
LESSONS, friend ofJudge Woodbury. offered
to the Ohio delegation, either singly or togeth-
err, to put up one thousand dollars against five
hundred that Cass would not, ifnominated, get
the vote of Ohio and not one of them, or all
together, dared to meet the proposition. This
shows that they had no firm belief that they
could carry Ohio for Gen Cass.

This body met at Philadelphia last Wednes-

made the first day, and as our paper goes to

may possibly reach us Friday, but we do not
count upon knowing them until Saturday.
It is too near the time when we shall be APP
priced of the result of the Convention to spec
ulatc upon it; yet we publish today letter of
one of the editors of the Atlas, written at
Washington, and some other items referring
to the Convention. Our readers can take them
for what they are worth.
