interest. He first laid down the broad plank
in the Copperhead platform between the Adj
ministration and the Government, over which
he proposed to conduct the whole Coppcrhead
element to success. This great preliminary
step being taken, he proceeded to seat him.
self astride the plank, and abuse the Admin
istration, and picture what would have been
the result had so and so been done and such
and such policy been pursued. He read what
he represented to be the '' Democratic" plat
form, adopted by the convention which NOM
mated Mr.. Cole, which he drew from his skirt
pocket and expounded as the fundamental
creed upon which all good Copperheads should
unite. The platform itself was curiosity,
constructed in the true sandwich" style,
with slice Of loyalty and a slice Of disloyalty
alternately. He then proceeded to explain
why it had not been published and only ex-
listed in manuscript form, and in this the
Judge really did get off capital joke, which
he did not intend-the best of the evening.
He said the secretary Of the convention did
not wish the platform to appear in the
Portland papers prior to its publication in
Territorial paper, and that he had first sent it
the Democratic Journal, paper Of secesh
proclivities published at Dalles, forgetting for
the moment that Dalles was not included
within the limits of this Territory! The
Judge didn't see the point, however, and dur
ing the tumult which followed shifted his seat
on the plank to less dangerous position.
He then selected Mr. Conway from the Re
publican ranks, and proceeded to bestow a
sound bastinado upon the Union party over
his shoulders, but when he found I" that cat
wouldn't jump he again turned himself
around and crossed his legs on the Critten-
den resolutions, which he affirmed were re-
jected by the Republicans, and they, Of
course, are responsible for all the blood shed
since the beginning Of the war! All! most
puissant Judge, there you forgot yourself!
You may have used the very words the man
you represent would have employed, but you
certainly did not speak like Judge Lander,
who has lived with us Ignorant clam cat
crs' so many years. We could very readily
pardon an imported web-foot for entertain
ing such ideas of popular intelligence on the
Sound, but we cannot excuse it in you.
There were probably none in your audience
but who knew that the resolutions, which you
say would have given peace to the nation,
were lost by the failure of Democrats to vote.
Such is the record, and the beautiful fabric
reared by your brilliant imagination. glowing
with national thrift and prosperity, falls to
the ground.
The remainder of the Judges speech was
composed of about the material cited, it
showed great anxiety for the final result, to
please the loyal voter, and much doubt ac-
companied by many shakes of the head, to
tickle the disloyal man. No better indica-
ton need be required to demonstrate the utter
hopelessness of the Copperhead cause than
such miserable attempt at justification by So
eminent and talented an advocate We now
know why Mr.. Cole did no. appear in person.
The load, mentally was too heavy for him to
carry. Judge Lander goes ahead and
smoothes the way, with all the honesty and
sincerity of veritable Sancho.
With united ranks we need have no
fears but that success will crown our efforts
As was predicted by all who knew the men
who had been deceived into lending their sup
port to the Peoples movement, they have con-
cluded that there is no cause for division be-
tween Union men. The Tumwater conven-
ton, which met on the 9th and 9th insts.,
adjourned without making a nomination, and
consequently we have but one Union nominee
in the field. There can be no doubts regard
ing Mr.. Raynors position either in reference
to our National or our local interests, and he
possesses every requirement for success, with
none of the objections attributable to Off
cial influence" "cliques," or party dema-
goguism, and we believe he will receive the
willing and unanimous support of loyal men.
We have convcrsed with many of our citizens
since the speaking at TYmwater, and all true
Union men have expressed much qualification
that the selection has fallen upon so jealous,
capable, and Internationally loyal a candidate
