TIE ELECTION IN OREGON.
The Oregon Times of June 18th says

Although, thus far returns are very incomplete
and to some considerable extent dependent upon rumor
enough is certainly known to warrant us in assuring our
readers that General Lane the democratic nominee for
delegate to Congress, is reelected by majority even
greater than that of 1855 that the convention question
has been carried almost without opposition that to the
constitutional convention haveelected overwhelm
ing democratic majority and that the next legislative
assembly is also democratic The people of Oregon have
spoken, and their voice. condemning it does the cha
otto elements Of black republcanism this early hour
gives welcome prege of what remains to be effected
when, with their contemplated Thorough organization "
tho negro worshippes shall hoist here in Oregon their
disunion banner inscribed with but sixteen repre-
senting alone the free States of our confederation In
this result rests for long years to nmstakable evil

that OF the passage of the law granting the President
OF New Granada power to settle the difficulties between
