A First rate move.

We learn that few of our most enterprising
musicians have undertaken to give us change
of programme from political to musical compo-
sition.
For this purpose, they have engaged the SER
vices OF Mr.. Bradbury, a distinguished Professor
of Music in New York, to hold one of his music
al conventions in this city, some time in the
month OF October. Due notice of time and place
of meeting will be given. 1t is their intention
to hold three days meeting, during which time
members Of the class will be thoroughly instruct
ed in the different branches of musical science.
At the close, the Convention will give q splendid
musical entertainment, for the benefit of all who
may wish to attend. We cannot see anything
to prevent our having the opportunity Of attend
ing q concert given by one or two hundred PER
formers. This city and vicinity. is the residence
Of large number of vocal and instrumental mu-

Of an entire reliability in reference to the pur-
pose of many Of the Southern settlers in Oregon
of establishing slavery there as soon as they can
induce majority of the people to consent to a
State organization. But for the Wilmot Provi-
so,whch was incorporated into the Territoial Act,
these men would now claim the right, under the
new-fangled doctrine of the Buchanan party that
tho Constitution tolerates and protects slavery
in the Territories, to hold slaves in Oregon; and
the influence of Government would be used to
support the claim .
We learn that the failure of the attempt to or
ganize State Government was in part owing to
the fact that the leading schemes were known to
have their rlans perfected for making Oregon a
slave State. They have not abandoned their
purpose, but are necessarily obliged to post
pone it until the present Indian difficulties are
settled"
