TINE FOR AcTIoN.-As the time approaches
for the meeting of the State Union Conyen-
tiony il is well fer Union men in eaohcounty
to organize and select proper persons to rep
resent theirsentments in the several county
conventions. We.are about entering upon the
most important.political contest that the pso-
pie of the UhitedtStates have ever been called
upon to take part inu Amid the terrible strife
of civil war, when millions of our tellow.cit-
izens are, in, arms tos defend our liberties
against ruthless and,merciless foe, those
who remain in the civil walks oflfe are about
to be called upon to express by their votes,
whether the" Office of Chief Magistrate of our
country shall pass into the hands and under
the control ofithose who are seeking the'de-
struction Of republican, liberty,by, clamorng
for dishonorable peace, or whether the Office
shall be filled by one who will use all the
power of the Government for the maintea-
ance of ou. national honor and our existence.
But one question: should be allowed to enter
into theeontest--that of ftheunconditonalsup
preston of the rebellion by force of arms
and to this one measure should the energies.ef
every man be directed Let it be borne in mind
that the State Union Convention will be held
on the 30th OF March next, and that all de-
pends>upon.tbe character Of the men selected
as delegates to that Convention, for the posi-
tion thls.loyal and patriotic State shall take
in making Of the next President who will
have,the honor of adjusting our nationaA diff
ficulties, and restoring all of the States to the
Union, under one flag. and one Constitution.
The greatest vigilance will be required in the
selection of proper representatives of the peo-
pie, to insure the success of the cause of lib
erty at such q time as this, aud every citizen
should consider well the question involved,
and act in such manner as to leave no doubt
as to how Oregon will cast her vote at the
next election for President of the United
States.

The Mining Press says company is now be-

the northward of the Boise river, to some new
diggings in that direction. The company will
take along very superior outfit, and will go

wake the mountain echoes as they move along.
Such an arm will prove powerful incentive

They were "down on the Abolitionists," but

JouRNALIsTs.-Hor Greeley we'll says that
journalists are neither better nor worse than
other more or less educated,a and able persons.
There are scamps as we'll as ounces among
them but as a class they are neither knaves
or fools. 1t is by no means, certain that the
champion of great and good cause is himself
either greet or good and the Press has its
reprobates as the Pulpit has its hypocritesi but
he who judges either Press or. Pulpit by these,
has narrow understanding, if not o bad
heart Perhaps no other class are required to
do so much for purely public ends as the, edi-
tors, and we are confident that no other. class
do whatever they may for the general good
more uniformly or more cheerfuly. Yetthsbest
of them are not faultless; while none among
them aspire or affect to be that model of alb
sorbing and unselfsh devotion to others good
which is the beau ideal of all who have axes
TO grind and expect them to turn grindstone.
Each of them has living to make usually a
family to support; has needs and aspirations,
and is no more fond Of working hard to en-
rich others and taking his pay in rank, doses

titutes and all that class who attempt to live
by their wits rather than by the practice of
honest industry are invariably secessionists.
II is by no means to be inferred that all Sc
cessionists are of the degraded classes. As
might be expected, occasionally we find a. re-
spectacle man who, blinded either by passion
or prejudice, sympathizes with the rebellion,
but these are exceptions, the great. mass of
the secession party being madeup of the vile
and degraded - the Ishmaelites of society
The wonder to US is that, seeing the character
of their associates men who make pretensions
to .decency have not long since washed their
skirts from the Contamination of treason. The
best of men are liable to be caught in bad
company, but when thus taken at fault the
vrtuous man loses TO time in ridding himself
of bad associations. We desire to commend
this view Of the matter to the attention Of the
few respectable secessionists in Wasco coun-
ty, who yet cling to the fortunes OF JEFF. Da-
Wis. The fact of their having been caught in
the company of traitors might be overlooked
but their clnging to the association raises the
presumption, that under the cover Of fair
exterior, they are no better than the vile bab.
blers Of treason they affect to despise.

Free Military School for Officers OF
Negro Troops.

We see by the N. Y. Tribune that the free
school for military tactics has been establish
ed in Philadelphia by the Supervisory CON-
mittee for recruiting colored regiments. Its
object, the Tribune says, is to furnish the
preliminary instruction in tactics, etc, nee
essary to enable men otherwise well quail
fed to pass their examination by the Board
at Washington for commissions in colored
regiments, and the school has the approval
of that Board of which Major General CASEY
is President A competent instructor, it
is said, is in charge.
This is military school established at the
national expense for the purpose of afford
ing white young men instruction, free Of
charge, to fit them for the command of ne
gro troops. 1t cannot fail to strike the
reader as rather odd that the admirers of
the colored race do not open free military
school for the training of young able-bodied
blacks, so as to fit them for the command Of
their own troops. Do the Union Leaguers
want all the offices civil and military,
''without regard to color?"

In an article on the practices in vogue at
Washington, the New York Journal Of Com
merce draws the following frightful picture:
1.-THE period in which we just now live is
one of unbounded fraud and corruption.-
There was never an Administration in
Washington under which fraud was carried
ON as openly and boldly as now. The mil
lions that are the plumber of the present ar
my of hangers-on will never be counted
There is no end to the terrible revelations.
Nor does the trouble stop with the mere
robbing of the public purse. The most
atrocious crimes are perpetrated with the
stolen money, and the people are growing
used to the recitals. Legislatures are bought
and sold in Pennsylvania, New York and
elsewhere. Elections are fraudulently car
ried. The machinery of political parties
is turned everywhere to the private account
of individual office-seekers and money
seekers. The taint is spreading through
the entire body polite. Men look calmly
now on crimes from which they would
have shrunk two years or three years
ago. Men think on the whole that it
Is good thing when the Administration
carry an election by shipping home q few
thousand selected voters. Men chuckle over
some political ruse in which Legislature
is bought for money. Men approve the ac-
ton of the Treasury Department in giving
a responsible office to man whose vote,
conscience and reputation, as every one
knows, were sold by himself and bought by
the party which protects him. NO one

The rebels did not come back yesterday

truth in these charges. They are merely
got up for political effect. The rebels were
bound to cross, and would not fight if they

A Correction.
The Cincinnati Commercial ofJanuary 9th

The Cincinnati Commercial ofJanuary 9th
says:
The Resolution offered by Mr.. Uhl tDemocratl, o.
Holmes calling upon the Governor for specific rea
sons for the charge Of natention to official duty BY
Attorney General Critchfeld, created some feeling
in the House, whereppon MIR. Scott Of ", warren q Of
fered substitute, which associated G. W. ii. Cath
cart with the Attorney turned the tables on
the Democracy, and compelled them TO rote d0dias
the tchote measure.
The words italicised are entirely false, and
if the Commercial has any respect for truth,
it will make the correction.
The true state of the case was this: Mr.
UHL, of Holmes, stated that it was unnec-
essary to connect the name of CATHcART
with the Attorney General. The former
was no longer an officer of the State; be-
sides, all that was necessary to know, was
known concerning him; and hence, the con-
test was simply an opposition to connecting
the names of persons referred to, in the
same Resolution.
Mr.. BLOOM, of Richland, remarked thai
he aSprehended the opposition to the origi'
nal Resolution arose alone from politica
prejudice. He could not believe this to bt
merely political matter. Gentlemen
should remember that while Gov. ToI
withheld his commendation from the At.
torney-General elected by the Democracy
he had highly complimented the Secretary
of State who was elected at the same tim'
by the Democratic party.
The Democrats desired an inquiry to b.
made at all events, and that at once ant
without delay.

Mr.. SCorT, was put and carried, erery Demo

philanthropic, were clothed and fed at
somebody else's expense. He will say to

The Great Northern .BacObin Com
r.E ,t|f spiracy.

The Boston Trareher says (wequote from
an Administration paper) that Union
Leagues, pledged to the total eradication OF
slavery in the United States, are multiply
ing throughout Massachusetts,, and are re-
ceiying large accessions of members. In the
opinion of well-informed persons, says the
Troueller, similar Union Leagues in the
Northern States are already strong enough
10 carry the next Presidential election.
The Traveller has been generally esteem
ed pretty good authority in the statement
of facts. 1t gives countenance to the fact
that the revolutionary Jacobins have al
ready formed in the Northern States secret
, lodges, societies and clubs, sufficiently strong
in influence and numbers to carry the next
Presidential election. 'a
Such is, no doubt, the chief design OF
their organization. 1t is by midnight plots
and Vaccinations to obtain and hold politi-
cal power. Little in reality care these Sc
cret conspirators for the freedom or well
fare of the negro; but they assume great
regard for him as base for their revolu-
tionary operations and as cover to theii
main object, which is Office and plunder.
The President of the United States stands
in awe of this mysterious order. He issues
proclamations, removes Generals, and di-
reefs the movements of armies at its behest
He Yields to its DEGREES in order that he may
be reelected. 1t would be terrible indeed
if free-born Americans should have to bow
the knee to the unrestrained will of a single
despot; but more terrible still, if they
should become the victims, bound hand and
foot, of a secret oath-bound Jacobin cabal

Is a very great crime. We meet daily in the

seems wholly unaffected by the fact. We

The $500 Exemption Clause.

Most of the time in the session of the
United States Senate on Friday was con-
sumed in the discussion of the Conscription
act, and especially OF the $500 exemption
or Communication clause. WILSON, of Massa-
chusetts, opposed the repeal of that clause,
and declared that popular opinion was
largely against its repeal and in favor Of
letting it remain as it now stands. LANE,
of Indiana, and some others were in favor
of the repeal. No conclusion was reached;
but Washington special to the Cincinnati
Gazette says it is pretty safe to say that the
$500 clause will be retained in modi-
fled form.

Garrett Davis's RetOrt.

WILSON, of Massachusetts,, offered, in the
U. $. Senate OH Friday, a resolution to ex-
pei GARRETT DAVIS, of Kentucky, for dis
loyalty in calling upon the people to rise
against war-leaders, and take the con-
duct of affairs into their own hands. DAVIS
stated that he meant no more than an ap-
peal to the ballot-box and affirmed, that he
was as true and loyal to the Government as
WILSON had shown himself to be when
Massachusetts was in rebellion against the
Fugitive Slave Law. The attack and retort
produced quite sensation.
