lG6TmE STATE CONSTITUTIONAL CoNvEN
TIoN.- Portland, o. r., Aug, 20, lS57e--
THE Convention of Delegates to frame a
Constitution for the State of Oregon, con

Judge Deadly, of Winchester county, Judge
ofthe Third District, as the permanent
President of the Convention. The other
permanent officers were then chosen.

bone of contention in the Convention will
be the slavery clsuse in the Constitution :;

the issue in relation 10 the contemplated
5sa!ause Of 2 State Bank is preaeatod, there

Confention viii be prolonged for eight or

q slavery clause will be introduced in the
new Constitution, but it il very doubtful
whether the neOtI'e of tbc TerritoruI no; III
