Oregon Campaign.

The Democratic Convention made the
following nominations on the oath instant:
J. B. Slater Of Baker county, was nomina'
ted by acclamation for Congress; L. F. Gro
vel, Of Marion county, for Governor; s. F.
Chadwick, Of Dougi.s, foI Secretary; Lewis
Fleschener, Of Multnomah, for Treasurer,
and 7. Patterson, publisher Of the Oregon
Herald, Of Mulnomah county, for State
Printer.
The following is the National debt plank
in The PLATFORM:
"The continued payment of interest on the
debt, together with other enormous expenses,
makes the burden too heavy to be borne; that the
amount of the debt as increased more han two
fold by the illegal manner in which it was crea-
ted; that there is neither justice nor wisdom in
the repeated payment of princip pal by cont inued
payment Of interest, and that there should be an
equitable adjus tment Of the debt"
The Chinese papers in this State have
been having howl over this plank, calling
1t declaration 10 favor Of reputation. 1t
proclaims for IAN equitable adjustment Of
tho debt" In the name Of honesty, decsucy
and lstice between man and map, are not
all men rascals who demand morel Do
our Republican cotemporaries ask for more
than equity in the payment of the public
debt if so, then they must admit their dis
honest rascaily, and that they favor swiud-
ling the public for the benefit Of bondhold-
ers. We are simple enough to suppose that
all honest men are satisfied with equity and
justice, and that prisons and penalties are
made for all others. Those who abuse this
just platform OF the Oregon Democracy will
bear watching, both in a public and private
capacity.
Tbs is the difference between Democracy
and RepublicaniSm, the former proclaims
for justice and equity, and the latter for
dishonesty and rascaity.
