DRAGON Politics.

The Democratic party Of Oregon have got
into o snarl on account Of the action Of their
late Convention to nominate q candidate sor
Congress. It seems that large majority Of
the party were in favor of the reelection Of
Mr.. Grover, but that gentleman had become
obnoxious to Senator Lane, and the wires were
set to defeat his nomination in Convention,
which was accomplished by means Of q side
caucus A majority Of the delegates were
friends Of Grover, and every body supposed be
would be nominated on the first ballot; but the
friends Of the other candidates held a secret
caucus, and by some means they induced a
number of Growers friends to attend it, under
received the caucus nomination. The caucus
was held expressly to defeat Grover, and quite
a number of that gentleman's friends had no
better sense than to attend it, and were thus
made instruments in defeating the wishes of
the people. The result was that Lansing Stout
received the caucus nomination and was subse-
quAntly nominated in Convention-Mr. Gro
ver's friends who attended the caucus being
compelled u vote against their first choice.
The mean resorted to for the purpose of
defeating Erover has created great indignation
among hiSfriends, aud many have come out
opeA4y and declared their intention to vote for
Mr.. Logan, the Republican candidate. The
nomination Of Mr. Stout was perhaps as unpop-
ular one as could have been made. In 1855
he was elected as Know Nothing to the As
sembly of this State, from Placer county, and
in that body was not regarded as a man of any
talent. On the decline of Know Nothingism in
California, he emigrated to Oregon, and the
Democracy being largely in the majority there,
he Of cOuse became an active Democrat. II is
not surprising that the people of Oregon should
squirm little when broken-d0wn California
politician is presented for their suffrages, by
the wire-workers and managers of Conven-
tion. The Democratic party is SO largely in
the ascendant in Oregon that the tricksters i'm
agined they could perpetrate any outrage with
impunity. In this instance, Gen. Lane and bis
minions may find themselves mistaken. We
trust, however, that Mr. Stout will be elected;
for in case he is, a large number of politicians
who have been laid on the shelf in California
would be encouraged to emigrate to Oregon
1t is as natural for politicians to gravitate to
the localities where their talents are apprecia.

Virginia, "the opposition candidate,
who comes forward on a new platform
and with new issues, will combine a
variety of elements which promise the
overthrow of the democracy by an
overwhelming majority. This opposi-
ton may be called whig, or it may be
called by any other name-that mat

that banner, but under one more ter

battled under the standard of Nativism,
in 1855, they were sufficiently formi-
dable to strike terror into the heart of
the democracy; and it was only owing
to the consummate elcctioneering skill
and tremendous efforts of Henry A.
Wise, the democratic candidate, in can.
vassing the State and addressing the

fact that the other candidate did not

ANOTHER AMERICAN TRIUMPH.-We
have had frequent occasion recently to
speak OF the success Of the Atlantic
Monthly. We were prompted to do this
from honest pride at the accomplish
mcnt,not only of our own, but, we be.
licre, of a national desire, to see our Pc
riodlcal literature indicated from the
charge our English brethren have so Of
tenbrought against it, that,it cannot as
cend above the level Of the lovc-sick
stories and sentimental poetry, because
our reading public can appreciate no
thing better. Many an attempt has
been made to establish something sim
liar to the heightened periodicals of
England, and as often as each attempt
has failed, the voice Of cxultation from
the English press has been loud, and
the voice raised that we can't do it.
Well do We remember this when Put
mans Monthly was compelled to give
way, in which We thought we had found
refutation of the established English
opinion in regard to us. But we can
now safely boast Of a triumph, as the
Atlantic Monthly has attained circu-
lation of 10000, nearly double that
ever reached by Putnam sand is placed
upon sure basis, the publishers being
among the most enterprising in our
country, and have been actuatcd to
considerable degree, in the establish.
mcnt of the Atlantic Monthly, by
this same notifying fact VIC refer
to, that our American literature had
no true exponent. The many express
sions of favor and we'll wishes received
the past year from their subscr-
bors, prove that they too have given
their support to the Atlantic from
determination that our country, in spite
of British misgivings, shall have peri
odical Of its own, not equal, but even
superior, to any of those published in
England. And now the English press
have honestly admitted that we have
such a periodical, for tho London Critic
and Athenmum have been lavish of
their praise the past few months
The Autocrat' has been re-publish-
ed monthly in London, as it appeared
in the Atlantic, calling forth golden
opinions and the confession that their
own periodicals have contained nothing
SO brilliant since tho "Noctes .Ambros
siane."
AT the present time two different
houses in London monthly re.publish
the ministers Wooing," by Mrs. II.
d. Stove, and its circulation there
almost exceeds the same here. We
have heard it stated that the editors
have received and approved, up to the
present time, sufficient material from
American authors to furnish several
numbers full equal to any that have
yet appeared. The April number is
looked for as one of the very best vet
issued. We repeat again, that in
chroncling the success Of the Atlantic.
