STATE CONyENTION.-A Democratic State Con-
vention is called to meet at Corvallis on the 10Th
April The call is signed by Judge Wait, w. w.
Page, B, F. Bonham, and many other well known
democrats. Wasco county is invited TO send four
delegates to the Observation-Disclosures
It seems they are to have as many tickets be-
fore the people in the coming campaign in Ore
gon, as there are differences in political sonsinert.
The above call we understand to be made by
Union democrats. Whether the clamo1s of the
Argus some time since for Republican convention
were successful in producing a call we have not
learned if they we're, there will probably be four
tickets in the ield-viz Union, Democratic, Re
publican, and Secession. We are at loss tc ac-
count for this strange action of the professed
Union men of Oregon. Do they not know that
It will require the united, concentrated force of
the Union men of the State to secure a victory
over their common enemy? 1t seems to US that
every Union man must be aware of this and
hence when we see at time like this, determn
alton manifested to cripple and split up the Union
forces by insisting upon running a democratic or
republican ticket, at the same time claim ing
Union sentiments, we are forced to doubt the pat
riotism of the men, Let the Union men of Ore
gon do their best, concentrate their force upon
ticket, and they cannot do more than handsomely
"clean out the secessionists. What then can
they expect to do, split into fragments by con-
tending jealousiesP

A QUEER DUEL.-Old Colonel S-of
Wisconsin, was an odd genius, a queer
compound of comic seriousness. Rerlete
with Jokes, both original and selected, he
was slow in hashiDg them up and dealing
them out in small doses to different eust9-

One evening, at party, young GENTLE
man, upon whom the colonel had told
some cutting joke, feeling himself insulted,
challenged the colonel to mortal combat.
The challenge was accepted.
Having the choice of weapons and the
appointing of the place Of meeting, the
colonel told the young man TO repair, the
following morning at 6 o'clock to a certain
spot, sRd added that be would see that
the weapons were there

great drama, as consummated in the wreck
Of matter and the crash Of worlds Pass

earth is one vast mausoleum of buried
greatness, and we are daily treading over
the graves Of thirty generations.
The glory end greatness of a man, as
developed under the most favorable auspi-
ces, seem to be traDsitory and evanescent
in their character, and in some parts of the
earth the great lights of civilization, learns
ing, and refinement are paling their inef-
fectual fires before the beleful shadows of
ignorance, idolatry, and superstition. In
Asia Minor, the traveller treadS upon soil
rich in historic lore, and the recollections
of glorious past, while the present popu-
lation is degraded by ignorance and sla-
very. The glory and the splendOr Of twen>
tv different nations that rose and flourished
there have been extinguished, and the star
of their former greatness has Get In the
gloom Of a starless night. on which no flu
ture morrow shall ever rise. The herds

wilderness DOW wander over the tombs Of
Achilles and Hector, and the throne Of
Mithridates. and the ADticchuses, and the
once splendid palaces Of Priam and Cr9sus
are now masses Of shspeless ruins, over
which the destroyer Time has driven his

tradesmen Of Smyrna, do not now stop to
inquire where Homer was born, and the
rich mellow sky of ancient and once proud
lonia no longer inspires orators, painters,
or poets. or lights the waning fires of a
Jealous and devoted patriotism. The same
dark and terrible doom hangs like the
gloomy pail of death over the banks OF
Jordan and Euphrates. The Republic OF
Moses is biotted from the map of nations,
the golden Tyres of David and Isaiah are
no longer swept by living hands, and the
voIce.ess silence of death reigns supreme,
where music once delighted the happy
hearts OF busy thousands.
