REVOLUTION IN EMBRYO.
VILLAINY RAMPANT.

We are in the midst of revolution.
The Radicals have proved themselves
to be seceSsionists,-ana anarchists,-vio-
lators Of the law and traitors to Ore
gon. Immediately after the House
met, on last Monday afternoon, the
following Radical members r, signed
their seats, viz: alexander of Ben
ton, Applegate, Burnett, Brown, Day
export, Denny, Flock, Galley, Garrett,
Hoxter, Mimic, Pendergast, Simpson,
Trullinger, and Taylor They have
thus left the House without quorum
and 1t cannot transact any business
as consequence. On Monday even
ing both branches of the Legislature
held a night session. The Senate re-
scinded their joint resolution to ad-
Journ, and instructed a Committee to
wait upon the Governor and request
him to return Senate Bill No. II, for
the reason that it had not been re.
ported by the Committee of Enroll
ment. This bill contains an appro-
priation for $40, 1000 for building the
Penitentiary

There is nothing to compromise; and
consequently no compromises nor

charge the duties deyolyed upon them
as legislators, and return to their sew

no factious spirit. No appropriations
