M Inc Democratic Electors Of Oregon
Territory.

1T meeting of the Democratic members: Of
n the Legislature Of l95l-'62 for the purpose
n a preliminary organization Of the Democratic
nar,v in Oregon, the undersigned were appointed
~, Central Committee, to act and discharge the
Jnhss incumbent on similar committees for the
,,rn of one year, and at a meeting Of the demo-
cratic members Of the Legislature, held in Salem
an ,he 18th day of January, A. D. 1853, it was
decided that the undersigned should continue to
A., a. Democratic Central Committee until such
,ims as the Democratic party Of Oregon should,
by General Convention, appoint their successors
Upon the authority above referred to, your COM
mit,ee deem themselves warranted in proceeding
70 the discharge Of their duty, and would respect
fully recommend to the Democracy ofthe different
counties 10 hold primary meetings at their earliest
convenience for the purpose Of selecting Delegates
TO attend General Convention, to be held at sa-
lem on the second Monday in April, 1883, for the
purpose Of nominating a suitable candidate for
Delegate to Congress, and to recommend to the
Executive Of the IT, States suitable persons to fill
the various federal Offices In this Territory, and to
transact such other business as may be deemed
sIpedent
The undersigned would also recommend, as
bass of representation in the Territorial Conven.
don that each county be entitled TO double the
number Of delegates as such county is now eni-
tled to in the House Of Representatives, and that
zach county shall be entitled TO at least one dele
gate.
The Committee are aware that on variou' ac.
counts that need not be alluded to in detail, the
basis Of representation in the Convention is q sub
ice, attended with some uncertainty ; but incline
10 the opinion that tie above is the best rule that
can be adopted for the present. If any county
should feel that it would work unfairly in any par
tieulir case, the Convention will, upon proper
representation, have full power 10 increase the vote
Of such counties.
In counties where there is TO regular organiza-
ton, it is confidently hoped that the party will re-
spond to the call, and proceed early to hold their
primary meetings for the selection of Delegates
and sfecting permanent county organization.
Your committee will not at this time undertake
to make formal declaration Of the principles Of
the Democratic party in Oregon, believing that the
Convention, composed Of Deleg ates selected by the
people from all sections Of the country, IS the
source from whence such declaration should come.
We cannot refrain however, from urging upon you
The Importance Of full primary meetings. Let no
sectional or local rivalry embiter your proceedings,
and wherever such things have existed, let them
be buried and forgotten. Let each democrat take
bis fellow democrat by the hand, and labor harmo-
BiOusy together to secure full and fair expression
Of public sentiment in the Convention.

Inc Empire, a paper puohsned IN
Sydney, Australia, has 8 very happy
notice of the exile, Mitchell, and his
young, brave and devoted wife. In the
hour of the patriots most severe trial,
when the time had come when he niust
brave the darkest perils which beset
the .reber' on his path, and meet the
fate he dared so boldly. his wife went
to him in the prison-eell, adjured him
to let no thought of her or his children,
from whom he was about to be torn,
distress him; but to go to his doom as
fearlessly as he had courted it, for her
heart was strong in the consolation that
he had played noble part for ireland,
and the legacy he was about to leave his
children was more precious than gold.
The Empire says:
The gifted and beautiful wife of the
Irish exile, John Mitchell, arrived here
on Thursday, with her fine e-famiIy oI
six children, on her way to join her
brave husband in freedom, in a free
country.
In the present generation, perhaps,
/ Providence has not united a man OF
woman more worthy of each Others
heroine wife and hero husband. We
know it well from eye witnesses, how
the indomitable energy and courage oI
that lion hearted man was tried in the
frey furnace of revolutionary excite
ment. Well we know, too, upon the
same authority, the slow force of cir
cumstances that urged him, like a
Hampden, step by step from the quiet
country life into the foremost position
into the very gap of desperation.
The famine with which social and
political misrule had inoculated that
happy land, his native country, came at
last to the inhuman crisis, which moth
ers fed upon their own offspring, as in
the horrors of besieged Jerusalem; and
we have heard how he made tour in
the Provinces to witness for himself the
appalling scenes of pestilence and fam
inc, walking among them like "the man
who had seen hell''-the sad and
thoughtful Dante-and then returned to
Dublin, desperate, one-ideaed man
the leader of revolutionary movement.
We do not, at this distance, pretend to
offer an opinion upon his revolutionary
project; we merely state facts as they
have often been narrated, and assign
the motives which propelled him into
that career, in which he afterwards ad-
vanced with unfinching resolution be-
tween the bayonet and the gibbet.
But how must the heart of that
young wife, the mother of a brave
mans children, have been tried to its
utmost core in the conflict between af-
fiction united with material solicitude,
and what she conceived to be her duty
to her husband and her country. No
bly,, we are assured, she stood the frey
ordeal, without word or a sigh to
cross his stern purpose, and even parti-
cipating in the halo of his intense excite
ment.

done silently and in due order by the
attendants. At a glance from the host
ess you are offered a second supply
but this also silently; the dishes com,
round to the guests. each in his turn
and after that people are not troubled
with them. Here it is not so. Here
there is an incessant asking and inviting,
so that with asking and inviting and
selecting and answering, there IS really
no time for the enjoyment OF the meal
much less of conversation. Neither Is
one able to help ones self; but the host
or hostess. or aunt or uncle, or some
other polite person, or it many be the
. servants, which here in the South are
always negroes. help you, and you sell
dom get Just what you wish for, or as
much or as little as you want, and not
on that part of the plate where you
wish to have it. Your are asked, fol
example.
"Will you have butter?"
"Yes. l thank you
And with that comes a piece of but
ter on the edge of the plate, on which
the annoying thought suggests ITSELF
that it is certainly exactly where the
servant put his thumb. Then it goe;
on.
"Will you take fish or meat? chicken
or turkey?"
"Chicken, if you please"
"Have you any choice? The breast
or a wing?"
Then comes, "Will you have pick.
les?"
"No, thank you"
4 pause and calm ensues for two
minutes. But then somebody on your
left discovers that you have no pickles,
and pickles comes to you from the left.
MAY l help you TO plickles?"
mo, thank you"
After a few minutes more, somebody
on the right sees that you have no
pickles, and hastens to offer you the
bottle. "Will you not take pickles?"
"No, thank you."
Yousthen begin an interesting conver
ton with your next neighbor; and
st as you are about to ask some ques
ton of importance, person opposite
you observes that you are not eating
pickles, and the piekle-bottle comes tC
you across the table, and you are called
upon to say once more, in self-justifca'
ton.
''No, thank you, not any," and con
tinue your conversation.
But again, at the moment you arc
waiting for some reply interesting tC
you, comes the servant, perhaps the
very best daddy in the whole black
world, and shoots the pickle bottle in
between you and your conversablt
neighbor, and with horror you again be,
hold pickles ready to put upon your
plate, so that in the end you find your
self quite overcome by the pickle per.
secution.
Thus goes on the meal; one incessant
hustle of serving, which takes from you
all enjoyment of the food. | have at
last regular palpitation of the heart
from disquiet and impatience; but that
is in great measure my own fault
the fault of my weakness, though some
thing must be- allowed to the fault OF
the custom here, which is not quite in
harmony with the higher pleasures ol
social intercourse. This custom, how
ever, did not originate in this country.

she attracted the attention of his majes-
