Editor of tht Argui 1 have read a good deal in your paper uf the immorality end obscenity of what you very appropriately call "Ciapkoy's Organ" iu Salem. 1 once read that sheet occa sionally, but forming pretty much the same opinion that you do of its character, I have not allowed it to come into my hands till yesterday, when hap pening to be at a house where it lav on the tloor, my curiosity led me to pick it up. It wat dated Oct. 7, 18."iG. The first article that caught my attention was at the tup of the sixth column of the first page, nnd headed "A Sharjie't ltiilu." I read it through, and to attempt to describe my feelings of horror and disgust at the obscenity and filihi nets of tho closing sentence, would be a vain ef fort. I dropped the pi'por, resolving never to touch it again, unless W illi a pair of tonga. The quesiiuu occurred to me, What an awful account will parents have to render, ho permit their chil dren logrow up under the teaching! of such ob scene prints? Is there no law iu Oregon for the suppression of such publications? and can any man be a Christian who lets such a degrading tiling come into his house ? Respectfully, yours, Clabisiia. jT Tbo article you refer to had tiil now escaped our attention. Upon reading it, we find it of a similar charae'er with many items that sheet loves lo parade before its reuders. It is just the kind of reading thnt suits most men who tnke the paper, besides the editor thinks them so remark ably rich that he cannot forego the pleas tireof selecting them, ns choice morsels. Iu answer to your queries, there is a law in Uregon against obscene prints, but the law makers adopted this same advocate of "licensing houses of ill fame" their Terri torial printer. Whether any man rvw be a christian who allows this obscene sheet to come into bis family, we do not pretend to judge. Our private opinion is that the Duly Spirit might as reasonably be looked for in a hen-roost as in such a family hut "Clar inda" must recollect that the goodness and long suffering of God are very great, and we ought to be as charitable at possible, hoping for the best. & Cassius M.

On next Tuesday the sovereign people of tho I'liited Stales will decide lit iliu ballot box iho issues thut h&vo been prrcipitulol upon them by the present admiiiisl ration, in its policy of tearing du u all the old landmarks set up by the founders of the government, and in reversing the ancient order of things n rela'es to governmental interference uilh the laws and institutions of Territories. The old policy of the gov ernment which had proven safe tin ler thir teen administrations reaching through a period of nenily seventy years, was repudi. nted by Fierce, and the "sijualtcr sover eignly" policy nihitiluied. This policy was shown ut the time to be n deceit and a humbug. At the stiiie time it pretended to givo to the Tenitories many new privi leges, it withheld from them the right of electing their own Governors, and imposed upon them Federal appointees, clothed with the veto power. The people are now fully aware of ihe practical woikingsol'lhit new policy, ns it has been developed in Kansas. The history of that Territory up to this time, has furnished strong evidence that the Nebraska bill was a fraud; thai tho administration never entertained the idea that tho people of JCansus should he left freo lo regulate their domestic institu tions. At all events, while this great pre rogative was tendered in mockei'V to thorn in the Nebraska bill, the strong or in of the government hhS been stretched out to sits lain Ihe mob from Missouri, which wrested this privilege from tho squatters of Kansas and in enforcing the most tyrannical and despotic enactments of a'Ier,iilnture elect ed by Miss'ouriuns. Northern nnd southern politicians who buve favored ihe decttino of squatter sov rcignly, have never been nblo to agree as to the precise lime tfAcn the squatters were sovrcigns over the institution of slave. nr. Tho former class have held that the people of aTeriitory have no right to med dle with tho matter till they form a cgBrth- tution preparatory lo aix-npprication for admission into -the Union ; whilo the south em wing of the party contend that the first Legislative nssemhly that meets in Territorv, if , elected even by n dozen squatters, has the right to fasten slavery upon the Territory. Douglas, who gave birth to the nondescript, hoc never vet been nblo todecido which of these two wings nf the democracy is right, although often re ferred tons nn umpire in the case. Many southern statesmen now declare it to bo a humbug and a cheat, while tbo notion of tho democratic Senate in lately passing n bill, luking the management of Kansas nf. fairs into their own hands, proves their conviction thut squatter sovereignty is a failure. The people, we have litlle doubt, will 6o decide in November, and forever bury all these reckless and unprincipled agitators. The prospect now is that Fremont will be elected bv nn overwhelming muioritv. Buchanan stands little or no chance. The only chance for Fillmore, is in the with drawal of Buchanan, which the result of the Pennsylvania election, whioh came oil' on the 14th tilt., may induce him to do. Pennsylvania, we predict, has gone anti democratic by over twenty thousand ma jority. If Buchanan withdraws, Fillmore will carry every southern State, with a chance of Pennsylvania, New York and New Jersey. Such are the wonderful mutations and shiflingsof political phases. A month ago nnd it was thought Fillmore had no chance, that the race lay between Buchan an and Fremont. Now it is rnmvde.il hu many prominent democrats in Pennsylva nia, that if Fremont is beaten by any body, it will be by Fillmore. At all events, the black democratic party is ns dead as the old Whig party. Black crape will soon be in great demand. , Mrt'ormlck's Almaaac. The receipt of the above ia acknowledg ed.
