POLITICAL INTELLIGENCE.

OKEGoN,-An oregon correspondent of the
San Francisco Christian Adpocate says:
" The election for Representative to Congress,
in place of Mr.. Grover, whose term has expired.
will occur next month. There is some doubt
how it will result. The Democratic candidate,
Mr.. Stout, is an avowed ProSlaviSt; and such
is the disaffection of the Democrats concerning
him, that the success of the Republican candi-
date, David Logan, is predicted. However it
may go, Oregon is every day becoming more
decided and established in her Anti-Slavery
position. However demagogues may gull and
deceive the people, God rules, and all will yet
be WELL"
KANSAS CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION
LeaUenwOyth, July 2.-The Kansas Constitu-
tional Convention assemblies at Wyandotte on
Tuesday next. The Republicans claim ma
jority of twelve members but as the certif-
Gates Of election will not be issued until the
day of the meeting of the Convention, its abso-
Lutte political character cannot be stated. 1t is
understood that, in any event, Constitution
will be framed prohibiting Slavery, and an
effort will be made to engraft provision ex-
Guiding negroes from the State. Endeavors
will also be made to prohibit the incorporation
of banks of issue. Action will be taken with
reference to the claims of sufferers during the
great troubles in the Territory, and the propo-
stion to annex Southern Nebraska to the State
will be considered. The delegates from Ne
braska will be present, and the project has been
favorably received
FIFTY KANSAS DEMOCRATS IYDICTED.-The
Leavenworth Jail is filled, says one of our ex-
changes, to Overlooking, with "good, tried
stanch and valiant Democrats" who have been
arrested and indicted for fraudulent voting at
the recent election. More than fifty of the b'ys
are in the jug for obeying the party injunctions,
viz: a" Voting early and often" and "Keeping
on voting until the polls were closed" The
legal investigation now going on is disclosing
an oldfashioned KickapOo or Oxford swndle
These fifty elegant Democrats are but preface
of what is to come The Republicans are con
fdent that the apparent Democratic majority
will be more than sponged cut ere the frauds
committed in Leavcnworth are probed TO the
bottom.
letter from Philadelphia in the New York
Herald, processes to give the true Interpretation
of the late popular sovereignty manifesto of Mr.
Douglas, in reference to the Charleston Con
ventiOn
at is not split in the party camp al
Charleston, nor an independent movement il
the North like that of Van Buren, in l848. Or
the contrary, Mr.. Douglas expects heartily tC
cooperate with the South in behalf of the
Charleston nomination. Impressed with the
conviction that his squattersovereignty plat
form would inevitably defeat his nomination al
Charleston, his late manifesto may be consid
cred as a sort of declination in advance He
and his partisans, however, win have a voice in
the Convention, and he believes that they viii
have power, against all adverse combinations
to secure the nomination of Gov. Wise. What
then? Why then, from the strong Southern
position assumed by Gov Wise on the subject
Of Slavery in the Territories, the calculation o.
Mr.. douglas is, that the Democracy will be Sc
soundly thrashed in 1860 as to be compelled tc
fall back upon MIR. Douglas in 1864. Thus the
whole meaning of this Douglas manifesto is
declnation, on his part, of the Charleston nom
ination, in favor of Gov. Wise, with the expect
alton of Democratic defeat in 1860, which il
1864 will compel the party to fall back upor
