Causes Of the Defeat I'm Orc
KOn.

From the Sacramento (cai) Union, June 10.
For several months prior to the Oregon
election, we had serious doubts OF the sue
cess of the Union candidates in that State.
The leading man on the ticket, Logan, run
ming for Congress, did.not appear to con-
centrate the strength of the party, and
failed 10 excite enthusiasm. He had some
bitter pcrsonalencmies among leading Re
publicans, and they directly opposed him.
This caused apathy among tho rank aud
file, and as there was majority orbut 500
for the Democracy to overcome, and as the
immigralions from Pap Prices army was
quite heavy. these circumstances rendered
defeat almost certain. These views are
sustained by the election returns given in
the Oregonien. In nearly all the coun.
ties Logan was behind his ticket. and. OF
course, being the leading candidate, this
appropriately must have injured all the
rest. In the State the Republican vote

The Commencement Exercises of the
Plymouth Graded Seminary, which took
place on Thursday and Friday oflast week,
were highly ereditable to the Institution,
and especially SO to the performers. We
have neither time nor space sufficient to
give fun report, and can only mention the
most important features. On Thursday,
the Parer, edited and read by Mr.. S. l..
McKelyy aud Miss Lizzie Reed, developed
degree of literary talent unlocked for by
the audience. Miss Lizzie certainly read
well. every word being distinctly uttered,
and with the proper infection. The dia-
loguc, +. H.& c., by the little girls, was
well rendered, each one doing her part adj
mirably. The performance of The Virtues
could hardly he cxceiled. 20
On Friday afternoon, IL being the inten-
ton to spend most of the time in picnic ing,
the literary entertainment was necessarily
short. The singing, by classes taught by Miss
Munday, was excellent The remarks OF
Prof Luke, who for number of years past
has done good service as Principal of the
Institution, were appropriate and no doubt
opened the eyes of many to the difficulties
met and overcome, during the past year.

Der of young gents and ladies, was merito-

attractive character. After these exercises
were ended. the tables were covered with
'pizen things" and all were invited t
parsakc of the bountiful supply.
