Constitutional Convention in Oregon

The delegates elected by the people Of Oregon
to attend the Convention for the purpose of
drawing up new Constitution. met on the l7th
ult, at Salem, the seat Of Government ia that
Territory. Judge Deadly, Of Douglas County, a
pro-slayery man, and one of the Associate JUS
tices of the Supreme Court, was elected Presi-
dent Of the Convention.
Judge Deady's election rs President of the
Convention, is alleged to have been the result
of a caucus. Had the Convention went into the
election Of President without caucusing, it is con-
tended that A. L. Loveoy, a !rec-atate Democrat,
would have been the choice OF the Convention.
The leading politicians OF Oregon are about
equally divided upon the slavery question. a
writer in the Oregon Sentinel, writing from Sa-
lem. says "There are no fears expressed in this
section Of country that slavery will be admitted
in Oregon, unless a great change comes over
the leading politicians Of the Convention" One
of the delegates from southern Oregon, Jesse
Applegate, Ca Nrginian) introduced preamble
and resolution at the opening Of the Convention
which created considerable shufling among the
wire-working politicians. The substance of the
resolution was, that the Convention deemed it
inexpedent to discuss the question of Slavery
that question should be left for the people to de-
eide" Mr.. Grover, from the committee on the
Bill of Rights, reported. No clause was inserted
relative to the subject Of Slavery, that being left
for separate submission. 1t guarantees uni

TIE VOTE on THE STATE DEBT.-We clip the
following rgratulatory remarks upon the vote on
the State debt question, from Tie Nevada Jour
an!
1t is a cause for congralulaton that the good
people have not allowed the disgraCeiul stain of
reputation to rest upon the fair name of the
State. Our credit will rise abroad, and we can
hold up our heads and feel blush of conscious
pride in the name of California. in the presence
of any people on the earth. We have establish
cd our reputation for honor and good faith
everywhere aud given the lie to the miserable
scribblors who have laborcd in the East TO affect
the reputation Of our people for fair dealing -
The faith of the State viii now be more firmly
relied on than ever before. The decision of the
Supreme Court has done California good, for it
has tested the hearts of the people. and the world
knows i. is in the right place. When the news
shall have reached the Atlantic side and Europe.
and the effect it produces is published among us.
there is not man who will wish the verdict of
the people changed not a man who would cX-
change his State pride for that any citizen Of a
repHdiatng State may feel.
The London journals, in their constant attacks
upon American credit, will hereafter make an
honorable exception in favor Of California.

Wreck OF the steamship Illinois.

BY the arrival of the Golden Age, we have
the intelligence of the wreck and probable loss
of the steamship illinois, which connected with
the California steamer of the 9TH Of August She
was wrecked on a coral reef, off the coast of Gu
ba. The passengers were all saved, and safely
conveyed to Havana. Much of the baggage, TO-
gethcr with portion Of the mail bags and trca-
sure, it is feared will be lost. But for the timely
assistance rendered the unfortunate passengers
by the Spanish steamer Leo, Capt Royina, many
would have found watery grave. correspon-
dent Of the San Francisco Bulletin, who was an
eye witness to the scene Of the disaster, relates
the following as the probable cause OF the wreck:
"On this head there is but one voice from all
the passengers, and that is that it was caused
through gross carelessness--Capt. Baggs being in
bed at the time, and her second officer on deck,
with the shore in full view and now that the
ship is last, her position shows that she WAS head
