Resolved, Tl'nt we are in favor of the perpetuity of (lio American Union, of tin principle of Ihe Declaration of Imlrpeu ilnct and of (lit Co'ililiitioii of ilit L'nitl Htatet, and ilml we recojniz il,ee ihie a the bait of our political creed." The above It tlie fir-l revolution in (lie Republican pUifuf in adopted m Albany l'b, li!th. We hope there are f w people in Oregon oho iliiwiil from iht doctrines of lliii resolution, and at Impe the huidful of thoso who do dient fiem them will not bo materially increased by (lie fuel that (lit principle Lave been indorsed by tlie Black Republicans." Tli.rs aie at iLi lima a fvw ignorant and unprincipled black democrats Jo the country, who pretend lu tay (bat (hey bate hiibcrtoaUay heroin for of making Oregon a free State, but line (lis "Black Republicans" are in fa vor of making Oregon great aod prosper out by giving the field h Lolly to fiee labor, they have great mind to damn (be coun try for all time by voting for nijrgem, k.ne they don'l want to to fuund voting with DUck Republicani." We do hope that these Suloi 1 of black democracy won't conclude to lear the Con stitution into atom, trample on tho Decla ration of IiidcjunJcric', and "bunt the Union atl to mah," jist ka. tLo Block Republican are fur the Union and (he Constitution." Rut, niyt nun, what was the uie of tuch a resolution ! Can a prom inent infin of any politicul party be fuund who calls the principles herein enunciated in question I For the honor of the Re publican party, we are proud to sny that such a man cannot be found in I heir raukt. They are all loyal and true lo tho Union and the principles of the founders of the Government. If a tingle exception enn be found, we call upon the whole list of locofoco organ, from tho Washington Union down to Czapkay's organ, to spot the man. If such a man exists, we dure you lo point him out. "fciich men are only found among radicul abolitionist and black democrats. The loyalty of tho Re publicans to tho Uuioti aud the Constitu tion rendered them the apcciul objects of hute lo the radical abolitionists during the I'reaiilntiul campaign. They mora antu rally sympathized with tho locofucos; hence, sucb abolitionists ns desired to work in a strong party, n'most invariably went into the locofoco camp in preference lo that of tho Republican's. Mr. Apple ton, a violent abolitionist, edited the PorilunJ (Me.) Argut, a Buchanan paper. Applo ton was once secretary of an uboliiion so ciety in Portland. Bcnj. F. Hullctt of Mussachuselts, a leading locofoco now, once published an abolition paper in Provi dence, R. I. The nbi'litionist J. C. Love joy aUo went into lie locofoco oump about tho same time; to a!so Sulh L'nyno of 111., Stanley Multhews and Duibiu W'urd of Ohio, with many others thul wo miylit mention iu JUr. roiit sections of tho Union. We recollect ulso that a correspondent wri ting to the Anti-Slavory Standard cum pluiuod that ho could not got subset i bo r for that sheet because ''this infernal Re publicanism" was getting lo be so popular. But our object was to prove that leading abolitionists and Iwi'linjj loeoficos are found who are hostile to this article of our creed. Let us instance a few who aro op. posed lo the "perpetuity of tho American Union." Wendell F. rhillips, tho big gun of ub olitinuivin, says : ''There is 110 remedy for the slave, but in iho destruction of tht Government." Tho lloston Liburutor, an abolition pa per, says : ' "Justicoand liberty, God and man, do niand tho dissolution of the Anurienn Union and tho formation of a Northern conl'eilorary." Now let us aeo what lending locofocos say. The Richmond iMirjuiror, a lending Jocofoco paper, says : "Suinnorand Sumner's friend must bo Jiunihliod and silenced. liither such wrelehet must bo hung or put in (he pi iii 'tcniiury, or (he South ithould prepare to jnit the Union." The Charleston (S. 0.) Mercury, in a labored disunion article, says : "Wo rejoice in any event which makes common cause at the South, and foreshad nwt her destiny as a separate and indepen dent people. The result of Itrooks'a as sault on Sumner is, that the lines of sec tionalism have been drawn deeper than before, to tho disgust of party hacks, lie publicans, and the satisfaction of true men democrat in tlie South." Tho Richmond Kuquirer, in speaking of the difficulties in Kansas, says : 'It will enable us to get rid of the Yan kee Presidents, and to preserve Anglo Sax on froedoin bv reviving (he old connection with the mother country. Who would not rather be ruled over by a lady like Uuen Yio, than any nasal twanged gentleman the Yankee laud can produce I" Let ut now quote from a Buchanan tpeech made by democratic ltrouks iu South Carolina, Oct. 3d : "I tell you, fellnw.cilizens, from the bot tom of my heart, that (he only mode which I think available for meeting it the slavery isue it just to rear the Constitution of the United State, tramyle it under foot, and form a Southern timfedenny, etyry State of tchich thall be a ilaetholUing State, 1 tell you that our hope is alone in the South, and the only mode of making that hope available h for the South by some act to tfett a dlitohiHon of the AmerUitu Union. These arc my opinions. They have always been my opinions. A'tr been a diiunioniit from the time J eoulJ think. I shall vole fur Mr. Buchanan," Ac, We next quote from a Duc)ianan speech made by L. M. Keilt, member of Corgresa from South Carolina, at Oraugeburg Oct. Oth: If Fremont it choten, you have lo chooMi between submission and diitolution. And wbon it comet to thai, he who dattiti it a (Intlunl, and he teho double it damned. The South it now moving, and I dust she will move. If Fremont it eh cted, the South must diiMolte the Union." Seustor Mtun of Virgiuia, war-horse in the b'utk democratic party, made a ptecb Oct. 3d, during which he taid, as a condition of the election of Fremont : " IIiii one courto remains fur the South. Immediate, absolute and eternal h partition. Heltrr.fir better, to stand to tht yorlhrrn Staltt at trt ttand to tht rest of tht world ' Lnemiet in war, in peart frirndt' than to remain halting under a common yovrrnmtnl, entmiet under the gain of peace, or fritiuli at war." The Charleston Mercury, in speaking of a democratic jubilee, held at Ninety-Six Depot, between Columbia anJ GrcctilleS. C, Oct. 3d, aay: "There wat tut one voice in this great assemblage, Me diitolution vf tht Union is neeeuary to our salvation." We might quoto column tiler column from ultra abolition and black democrat papers and speeches of eralort, showing (hat many leading men of both these par ties aro open and avowed disunionists, while tho fact that not one of these men luts ever ken read out of the abolition or dem ocratic jmrties, for their hostility to tlie Union, looks very much as (hough those pnrl'es were either controlled by disunion ists, or dreadfully rotten. A man who boltt a midnight caucus nomination, and fails to rote for a drunken sheep thief, per haps " regularly nominated" for constable, it kicked, cuffed, and spit upon, as a "las lard democrat," who threatens by departing from tht time-honored usages of our par ty," lo burst up Uie foundations of the gov ernment, while such men as Brooks, Keilt, Edmondson, Wise, Toombs, and a thous and others, who unblushinyly declare their wish to drive the parricidal sttel home to the heart of the Union, are retained in the par ty as orthodox members, afld not a single locofoco paper North or South, even dares lo question their rigid to a teat at the com munion table. These very Southern disunion!! we have already mentioned aro men who con trol the democratic party at the South, and Czapksy's organ recently averred that the late l'reidcntiul election was a Southern victory. If this be true, it is of course A disunion triumph, at least it is a very good step to woed it. In view of all these facts, why is it not proper for the National Conservative Union, Republican party to introduce- a Union plank into their platform f A fuw words as to the Declaration of In dependence. To the honor of the aboli tionists bo it said that we have never yet heard of nny prominent man iu that party who called this sacred document, which has Wn a standing text for all 4th of July orators for nearly eighty years, in question. Wo would to God wc could any as much for the locofucos. Stephen A. Douglas, the father of black democracy, said in speaking of this document that "It was only meant to apply as belwoen us and the people of Groat Britain." It then simply means lliut wo Americans are horn with certain inalienable rights, which John Bull has 110 business interfering with. A lib oral construction, truly ! Tho Now York Day Book, a locofoco organ, says that it applies only lo while people. Indians, Mulaltocs, Spaniards, Africans, and Greaser, then, were not born with "iualienablo rights," according lo this very liberal Day Book. As fast as these dark-skinned tribes becotno ci izens of our Confederacy, and are allowrd lo votej we presiiino that the editor of tho Day Book will stretch his charity so ns (0 make tho Declaration cover them. We have no doubt but what be has already stretched it no as to cover the niggers in tho Alex andria precinct, Louisiana, who voted for Buchanan. John C. Brcckinridgo, in a stump speech at Hamilton, Ohio, wbich we find reported in the Pittsburg Gazette, said : "Look at the principles of this party (tho Republican.) Listen to tho ignominy and reviling which they combine to hurl on our sister Stales. We are told the Declaration of Independence is embodied in the Consti. tution of the United States. The Declara tion is an Abstraction. Put it in the Con stitution and what would follow ? It would follow that the Constitution must protect every man iu his right to 'life, liberty, and tho pursuit of happiness!' You would find it interfering with the insti. tutions of the States, and it would lead our country rapidly to destruction. But why do I speculate upon what it would dot Long before this our Union would be oMiter. sled furever. It would become as INTOL ERARLK and HATEFUL, as its fast has bem-tkient sml glorious.'' We presumo Breckinridge it pretty good democratic authority for throwing away the Declaration of Independence as a mere "abstraction," and worth about as much as an old almanac or a patent medicine handbill. We could adduce ten timet the proof we have, of the necessity of adopting this resolution, and planting our feet on the rock of the "Union, the Constitution, and the Declaration," that must successfully rc.ist the wavct of sectional fanaticism, j I Ignorant meo sneer at tho Black Repub j lictn" party, as they call it, became the 1 lying organt of locofocoitm and abolition istii Lave growly and maliciously misrep resented our principles. Il it hereafter Iu be ihe great National Union party, and it It bound to triumph in spite of the Devil anJ all Lit imps. " It wat Gen. Lane't desire to obtain an ; appropriation at (hit session but in this, I ho ha, il sem, been foiled by a Black Republican House. We have cause to be thankful that the next Huute will be largely democratic, and then our measures will not be to unceremoniously strangled." Port land Timet. Now, Peter, it it a fict that you have a tingle subscriber that it as enough lo think sucb stuff it worth 82,50 a year, paid even in damaged vegetables I If Gen. Lane desired 10 get the appro, priatioo through lliit winter, and if he wot prevented by tho Republicans in the House, why didn't hi apply to the Senate, which it largely black democratic, at lie did in the case of the 8300,000 Indian ap propriation last fall, which, after pasting tho Senate, was not objected to by a tingle Republican in the House f The fact is, and you know it very well, (if you have got that old head yet,) that both Repub licans and black democrats in the Senate and IIouso thought it wos premature to make provisions fur paying our war claims, at the locofoco Senate had already Agreed not (0 " pay" (hem till they received the report of the commissioners appointed to "audit and allow" them. When a friend of Jo Lane introduced the till into the Sen ate authoiizing Secretary Davis lo appoint commissioners lo audit and allow these claims, and also authorizing the payment of them after being allowed, at the instance of Seward the locofoco Senate concluded lo look a little into the commissioners' re port themselves, before they made appro priations to pay thorn. Bro. Pearne (and perhaps Peter ) made a very silly attack on Seward al the lime, as being the cause of tho word "pay" be ing stricken out, just as if Seward had un limited control over tho Senate, and was responsible fur what the locofoco party did ut hit suggestion ! 1 Well, you art a brace of politicul wor lliies, and deserve each a patent medicine almanac, with "reward of merit" written on the title page. If your readers have got nny sense, don't treat them as if they were asses ; but, if they really nre don keys, il ought to be your aim m Christian editors to improve them. i'-iT Dr. Henry has resigned his post ns physician on tho Indian Reservation. lie informs us that tho mortality among the Indians has been considerable, and at the rates at which they have died off the lusl yoar thcro will be no warriors left in four years. The Roguo River Indians are much dissatisfied, and declare their iutention to return to Rogue River in tho spring Old John says that they did not lose half as many men in time of war as they have lost through sickness on tho Reservation, and his peoplo will last as long again, and fight us all die time, as they will where they now aro. A bread and beef diet dues not agree with thorn. They need a few more snails and salmon. (r The commissioners on war claims aro at last making some head in the way of coming nt business. They Lave agreed to be governed by the act of the Legislature in fixing upon thu pay of volunteers. They will consequently be allowed two dol lars a day for services, and two dollars for horse hire, making four dollars a day ton man who found his own horse. QiT Congress has passed an act declar ing the Mexican quarters worth only tweuty cell l, aud twelve and a half cent pieces, one tlinio. This is designed to get them out of circulation and introduce American coin. &ff Congress has passed a new postago luw requiting a prepayment on all tran sienl paper of one cent. Books weighing not over four pounds, if put up in wrap pers open nt tho end, can bo sent for one cent nn ounce, any distance less than ,1000 miles ; if over 3000 miles, two cent an ounce. " I am lired and sick of the eternal din about ' niggers.' Sorno men nro cra?y to have ' niggers' to work for tl.em, and others are crozv to work for ' nisircra'. I hope that the people of urogon, wtien they come lo act upon this subject, will vote down nigger philosophy, nijrger philanthrophy, nnd teetutally dry up the whole nigger business." Correspon dent of Czapkay's Organ. The foregoing professes lo have been penned by a free State democrat, who has got so dreadful stomachy that " wool'' duosn't go down well any longer. In deed he really hopes that the people of Or egon will vote down nigger philoso phy !" That would be as effectually kill ing the black democratic party, as Buch anan propose to do w hen he threaten to "destroy all sectional partie." Douglas in violating the Compromise and begetting "Bill Nebraska." Uid ihe whole suner. 1 structure of locofocoitm on " niggerism," for the purpose, as Benton said, of weld inj the South together at a democratic unit, li rooks said in his speech that he was a democrat but bad "no politic but that of the nigger."

I'crhapt nothing hat lrnnpird since the November election lhat has tilled the dem ocratic camp with tuch terror and dismay at the election of Simon Cameron, a Fro monter, over John W. Forney, Buchanan's pel, to the V. H. Senate from Pemiylva nia. It has fallen like a thunder clap up on the Buchanan clubs and party whip-pert-in in every district in the Uuion, but specially in the District of Columbia. It it a moral earthquake, which has dreadful ly racked every creaking joint in the Cin cinnati platform, started some of the nails which Wise and Brooks thought they had clinched, nnd well nigh dislocated the joints of the cosy old bachelor-cage of Wheat land, who sat on it comfortably smoking hi pipe, and, with tho wand of democratic authority, beckoning up from tho vntty deep of the "filthy pool of politics" John W. Forney, as a vory necessary stake to be driven down in the Senate, to which to attach one of the cord of the democratic pavilion. The wand it stretched out to ward (Iarrisburg, no doubt are entertain ed of it magic power to bring up whomso ever the President will, the command i given Forney, my son, come forth! A rumbling sound is heard, as of an approach ing earthquake, there is an upheaving of democratic terra firma, and when tho Sage of Wheatland prepare lo embrace bis darling Forney, up rises Simon Cameron, butting his head right against the timbers of the platform, smashing two or three of its plunk lo shivers, and confront the quaking old bachelor face lo fuco. 'Twas a throe of Young America that brought Cameron to the surface; Young America thai has grown big under republican gov. eminent, nud Sampson-like begins lo break tho fetters, snap tho withes, and burst the stays, of party drill. The soothsayers, astrologers, and wise men of l bo North and South stand aghast at tho ri suit. They are unable to see why thesamo rules of political trickononictry, which produced Buchanan as a quotient last November, should have failed in turning up Forney as a sort of dividing point between tho quo tient ant! an almost infinite number of decimals, to the right, in the shape of uu derstrappcr officials. Tho slipping in of Cameron between Old Buck and the decimal appointees, of course crowds the whole row of under strappers one remove further down the scale, and decreases tho value of each ten fold. Taking this view of the case, il is beyond the power of mathematics to com pute the loss tho locofoco party has sus tained by the election of Cameron. There was a wail wont up from tho democratic camp at Washington, locofoco office se ek ers wept and refused to be comforted, he cause Cameron had crowded out Forney, and of course Old Buck would crowd For ney in nmong ihem, notwithstanding they were nearly stifibcnled with " scrowging" already. Alas! Alas! The lido of j.oli tics, like that of ' true lovo, never uVs run smooth." Of the truth of this poor Pierce, as well as Forney, is a living witness. After all tho hard democratic lying, expen diture of cash, and Herculean labor to do feat Fremont and savo the Union, what a pity (0 see the Union so soon " busting all to smash !" Wise uud Brooks threatened to tlissulvo the Union if Pennsylvania did'nt ekct Buchanan. Pennsylvania cowered under tho threat, nnd gave the South Buchanan for Preside!!', hut before they turned him over, Biglcr just after the vote of tho electorul college, proceeded by authority of that Stuto lo brand him with " Free Kansas." This cf course mode nn ugly sore on tho old fellow, which exceed, ingly shocked Iho modesty of Wise, and caused the Southern tirc-caters, like Brooks, Keilt, Toombs, and Orr, to mis trust that they had been bitten in the bar gain. While Pennsylvania it seems, had aiii-auy elected several democratic mem bers to her legislature, who, to make themselves popular with ihe people during tlie canvass, had stripped off their demo cralic covering, and shown tho people that tliey also were deeply branded with "Free Kansas, and were in hoart, soul, a sympathy, Republicans in nil except the name. Three of ihcso men were no doubt honest in their asscveratiuns, and, when the election came oil" for Senator, these men thought that as Forney had never yet had the "Free Kansas" iron applied lo him, there mi.'ht be a little damrer of h; h. coining mixed up with Wise's woolly goals, and thus become lost to Pennsylva nia and Kansas, through embarking with Wise in a speculation in " five thousand dollar niggers" to " save the Union," and to be ure to have Pennsylvania properly represented in the U. S. Senate, these three men bolted Ihe "regular caueus nomination," and supported Cameron as a man in whoso honesty they could confide, he having stumped the State for Free Kan sas and Fremont, which showed that he mean( just what he saij, aad was too honest to try to gull the ,-cople by whip- pins the dovil round ibe stunm. The taction f Cameron ws secured Y .A by union of the Republicans, A uiericint, and Free Kaniat democrats. A we said before, il i purely a triumph of Young America, which it fut outgrowing ihe old fi.jjy trap of a corrupt and rotten party drill. & Some of tho paper statu that Buch anan' ofliciouMieii in meddling with the election of a Senator from Pennsylvania operated to defeat Forney. The fullow'mg li tter it published in the Harrisbtirg Tel egraph, havintf been addrcsstd lo a fiiciid, declaring hit wishes: "A my portion on the subject of elect ing a United States Senator may bo mis uii'lcrxtoo'l, I heir you lo tny to my fiiend lint Col.

We learn from soveral citizens of Yam hill that fear nre entertained in that sec tion of the murder of J. J. Kennard, for mcily of (his city, by a man near Muddy in lhat county, for whom Kennard had been building a house. The story is, that some person in passing the house taw the proprietor drag Kennard out of the house with a severe cut on the dial, made by a stick of wood with which ho ha I been knx'ked down. The man called to the parson who wat passing and requested him to bring a rope that he might tie Kennard. He refused to do so, aud passed on, a he didn't waul to have any thing to do with the quarrel. As toon as he left he heard tho landlord cull upon hi wife to bring a lope. At the next house he got a neighbor lo return with him, and see whut was up When they got back, tho landloid had Kennard lied, and was Inking him, covered with blood, and his clothes nearly turn off, back townrds A creek nrnr by. They made the wretch release his prisoner, and told Kennard ho had better leavp, but lie said ho would not leave tho house till he had got pay for his woilc. Since lhat time Kennard has not been seen, and fi art are entertained that he has been murdered. Mr. K. has lived with us a good deal, and was a young man of excellent character, and we hope the suspicions of the popu lace may prove unfounded. The name of the man who is suspicion cd we do not recollect, hut believe he mov ed to Muddy from Portland. The neighbors, wo learn, Lave turned out to investigate the matter. SlO;atar. Wo learn that a son of Judge Rowland ngrd perhaps fifteen years, disappeared from home somn two weeks ngo, and. afier being absent some four or five days, re turned nud gave the following account of .himself: On the morning of his disap pearance from home, ho wenl lo the barn beforo day lo feed tbo horses. While there a man rode, up, and, dismounted, drew a pistol nnd ordered the boy to catch his fathers' best horse and follow him, on pain of being shot if he refused. The lad, nearly paralyzed through fear, did as he was ordered, and, saddling a horse, started with his captor toward Portland. II is enptor followed the road hut little, tak ing trails mostly through the wocds, cx opting wlicn it wa3 ncco.ssry lo cros the streams at bridges. They slopped at scv i rul places on the way, ntulsUid all night perhaps nt a houso whero the man sccmau lo be acquainted. When iu the neighbor hood of Portland, they stopped at a house ou'.sido of town, and two more strangers came to them, who, after convctsing in a very low tone with his captor, went oil down to town, and wero gono some time. When thry relumed they all look the boy, and went into the woods, and camped. The boy lay awake nearly all night, when, toward morning, Lo says tho men all fell into n sound sleep, and ho siezed tho op portunity to saudlu his horse and make good his escape, and, passing through Portland without saying anything to any body, he reached home thirty five miles distant 111 safety. This is au unaccountable narrative, but "v io iuu siory as a gel 11 troin a neighbor of Judge Rowland.
