Thank you, Mr. Occidental, for your " endearor ta crowd tbo question of tin ve ry into a nutshell." Your argument heretofore in favor of slavery Lave been entirely too vaporous for ui to got at them ; they have seemed to us like a handful of leaven bid in forty cartloads of bran, and whon we hare succeeded in sifting them out we have found them to be little more than silly atterlionN, such as might with equal propriety bo made by the mormon elders whe are anxious that we should have a constitution toleraliog polygamy. New, at to ountlf, we invariably low to the sovereign powtr of argument. We al ways yield at once to the truth of every proposition that is fairly proved, whether mathematical, philosophical, theological or political ; and we are not so stupid as to rcquire'demootiratioa piled upon demon stration. All we ask is, tbat the proof be homogeneous with the proposition, and that the argument he simply a unit. One unanswerable argument it enowjh to prove any proposition in the universe. When nn argument is crowded into a nut shell we expect it to be pointed nnd tquecz ed into about the best possible shape Well, Mr. Occidental, you will pardon us for offering a few reasons why we are not converted, or even convicted by your 41 nut shell" affair. We hare broken the shell and found it to be wormy. If hu man ingenuity can hy the rulot of logio delect your premise, I hey are substantially this Wherever labor is worth more than 12, 815, or $18 per nvmili (as in the At Untie Slates), slavery would be profitable In Oregon labor is worth from $30 to 945 per month ergo, slavery would be profit able in Oregon. The rulo would work both ways, and run backwards, thus- wherever labor is worth lets than (12, (15, er 818 per month, slavery ia unprofit able and ought to be abolished. Now let us tnke your logic en a sliding scale, and try it a little along the " Atlantio coast," . and see how it work, before we measure the Pacific! coast by it. We will first be- . gin with Maine, cold, sterile, and bleak, as a free Slate, and with Virginia, warm, rich, and beautiful, as a slavo State, n State where wo (iho Occidental editor and ourself ) once lived, a Stale which accord Jng to Gov. Wise's figuring has moro re. sources than any other three Slates in the Union. By examining tho last census ro turns, we find that the avcrago prico of malo labor per mouth, is $20,35 (almost up to Oregon), while that of Virginia is only $10,15. This shows, to begin with, that tho figures en tho Occidental' rulo aro nil wrong, consequently it Is as useless for our purpose as a half bushel would be to measure a bolt of domestic. But wo will use it, howover, ns the Occi dental has been to the trouble of whittling it out nnd chalking it nil nrcr with figures, We can always afford to give a niggeritc every advantage he claims, and then bent him so bad in tho argument, that even nn editor who "knows just how thick n nigger's skull is," cannot help seeing where Jho truth lies. Then, according to iho lrgio of the Oc cidental, as labor is worth more than 812 or $19 in Maine, slavery ought to go thore, while it being worth less than 812 or 813 in Virginia, it ought to be abolished. That is, slavery ought to bo takon out of Vir ginia, and planted iu Maine swap " do ntcttio inatitu'ious" we suppose 1 But the trouble would bo that by transferring slave ry from Virginia to Mains, wages would rise in the former to $29,35, while down they would tumble in Me. to 810,15, thus waking it necessary to swap back and forth about as often as tome Yamhill men change their principles. Another little item that has probably escaped the notice of the Occidental while Maine pays her laborers 820,35 per month, she manufactures every year ia the article of cotton alone the value of 92,- 580,330, while Virginia only turns off the amount of 81,430,364. We presume the Occidental has no figures chalked on his niggtr rule tbat would explain why Vir ginia with labor worth only 810,15 per month is enabled to manufacture but about half the cotton Maine does, but is obliged to ship off her own products to be made up by laborer who get just about three time the wages she pays her own opera tives. Maine Las a capital of 83,329,700 invested in her cotton manufactures alone, while Virginia has only 81,009,000, er about one third the capital of Maine. Xov wilt the Occidental kae to put on his leather spectacles and examine the chalk mark on his rule, and tee whether be can cipher out why it it that cupllalittt have invented in even cotton manufactories, three timet the capital in cold, bleak, and iteril Maine, roinote from the cotton grow, lug region, where they have to pay three timet the wage of Virginia, that they hare in the latter Slate, directly under the nnte of the cotton planters, and win ro lit birean be had fnrtl0,13 per mouth I Will the Occidental also proceed to show lit readers why it is that while Maino ha only a while population of 91,313, tho has in her public school 102,815 pupils, while Virginia with a whilo population of 894,900 hat only 07,438 pupils in hnr pub. lie schools f alto why Main? has only !, 3 SO free negroes, while Virginia has I, 3331 and why it it that while Maine hat an annual circulation of 3,200,024 news papers, Virginia Las only 2,035,118 f also why Maine hut only 0,293 person over 20 years of age who cannot read and write, while Virginia has 88,520 1 Will the Uo cidcntal also inform us why it in, that the same marked difference that presents it self between these two Stairs, in all the el ements of national prosperity and political grentness, hold good as n general result of a comparison of free and slave State sta tuses I After il has done all this, will it proceed to lake off its spectacles, wipe ihein with its coat sleeve, and, after ad- jutting them upon its nose bottom upwards, proceed to examine its chalked rule, and tell us exactly bow many men in Oregon aro employing laborers for the purpose of producing grain profitably at even 835 per month I and whether il really ii be causo labor is so remarkably " profiinblo" in Oregon that wages are high, instead of the fact that just now laborers are scarce, and those who employ laborers are gener ally engaged in operations more remunera tive than agriculture t Alto, let us know just about how much less ihnn $35 a month a man could afford to hire his negroes out for, after sending to the States for them, taking into account capital invested, tho danger of losing them on tho way, as also the danger of their running away after they are here. ricaso also to tell us just about how many slaves it would tnko to be worth as much to an employer, as one good white laborer at $35 per month. We should al so like to know how we aro to "get our money back" by driving out 10,000 free laborers in the next fire years, for tho pur pose of introducing one or two hundred miserable slaves, thus reducing thn price of lutid more than one half, paralyzing in dustry, and locking up tho resources of the country forever. After the Occidnntnl altends to these matters, we shall probably give it n fow more nuts to craok. OCT" Tho pcoplo of Oregon may quar rel over sido issuis ns much as they plenp, and tho Dlnck Republicans may try to dis guise their designs ns much ns they can, but the true issue now ia Union or liisun ion Democracy or Black Republicanism." Cor. Sentinel. A PACKER. Tho above sweet littlo blnck-domocratic morceau, done up in wool, is kept flying at the mast head of the Jacksonville Sen tinel. We doubt not it is from the same pen that wrolo the whining Idler in favor of slavery wo referred to somo lima ago, signed " Mary Ann" (the " Mary Ann of the Mexican war" we presume.) Ho now comes out under the equally appropriate litleof "A rncker," (only "A Packer" of challenges, however.) OtT In a long article in tho last issuo of Cznp!;ay'a organ deroted to showing the calculations oT tho " opposition" upon splits in the black democratic party, we find tho following: " Perhaps tho most jubilant over these anticipations, and Iho most confident of llioir realization of all in tho enemy s ranks, are Avery nnd Adams working in the sumo harness, and to the same end." Mr. Avery can speak for himself, but wo corlainly hare no rery great hopes of the black democracy falling to pieces unless it bo by tho influence of common schools. Of one thing, however, we are quite con fidentthat when Eternal Justice " draws a bead" on the lying locofoco editors that are deceiving tho people, their heads will fly like the head of a pigeon ut tho crack of our rifle. JCJ-The New Orleans Delta of July 1st says that from numerous tellers receiv. ed from Oregon it is fully satisfied that Oregon will adopt a slavery constitution. The following is an extract of one of the letters from Oregon, Tho letter wo have no doubt was written by Jo Lane : "Oregon will be the next slave Stale. I was in the whole political campaign, and nothing but slavery seems to be tho go. Mark my word, her constitution will be adopted with the slave cause. It is a one sided question. The inhabitants are nil Missourians or Kentuckians? and go their death en the old issues." The writer of the above might have added, " And, God bless your soul, these Missourians, Kentuokians, Ac, are all such 'sound and reliable democrats,' that we politicians have them in full as good sub jection you have your plantation niggers in Louisiana. Ifr W ara satisfied that crreat injustice is don the democracy by calling them 'nig ger drivers.' We propose lo do thera jus tice hereafter by the more appropriate title ' driven ggert. Ta, t'.oatcatloB. In the convention now in soiou nl Sa lem, there it a majority of black demo- crate ( henco we are fearful that the tettion will be ueletsly prolonged In laying down programmes fur future assaults upon the treatury and a tulifuctory distribution of ofiicrt by thoso who belipvo in the divine right of lazy loafers to ride I but portion of the working Minuet lliut love to bn rode nud fleeced by " sound and reliable demo crats." We nre fully justified in tbit con clusion by the startling onnouncemeiit iu tho prologue of the powdered dandy who officiates as " IJottnm" to tho clique, who, in stepping upon the stage after making his bow nnd drawing his coat sleove ncrott hit note, tays : "The Constitutional Convention will meet here next Monday. We suppose il will be iu session six week or Iwo months." Now we will guarantee that if the buti doss of the convention was turned over lo the Itopublicau minority iu the body, we should bare an excellent constitution in about eight days, at a saving of considera ble cash to the people of tho Territory. It would bo a good stroke of policy if the convention would throw 'iho onus of draft ing a constitution upon tho Republicans, whilo the black demoorati might retire to some basement room hung in black, to do up their caucusing in, and prepare their party fetters, handcufl'n, lushes, nnd plat forms, for future operations upon an ex tended scale. The Juggernaut of eaucut sovereignly needs overhauling ; some of tho tires and bands need cutting and set ting, the taps need lo be tightened, tho ax les want " bar" grease nnd tho scats need uew cushions nnd trappings for the ease of the drivers who are lo ride over the Del- shazzar-smillen pleheiuns, who, urrder a State government, prostrate themselves in the dust at tho sound of the locofoco cor net, flute, harp, suckbut, psaltery, dulci iner nnd the hnrp of a thousand strings, played on by the Standard, Times, Sentinel Herald, Occidental, nnd Czopkny's organ, while tho bended plebeians, as they drink in the swelling strain of instrumental music nnd catch a glimpse of the " Mary Ann cf Iho Mexican war," scaled high on the Jupgcrnnut of caucus sovereignty, waving the flag of Utah in one hand and a sham stick thrust through a bunch of negro wool in tho other, sing, " Lo, the konkrin ero turns." No fears need be entertained about mnk ing n platform too rigid, or any thing of that sort. Fix it up so lliut every locofoco who hereafter bolts n " regulnr notnina lion," demurs to nn edict of the " caucus," oreven makes a wry face at the chafing of a rusty link in the chain of " I i mo-honored usages of our parly," ahull be put up at auction nnd sold as a " nigger," and your democratic, platform will be carried by a mnjorily of 400 in Polk, 450 in Ma rion, 527 in Linn, 102 in Lane, 20 in Ben lion, 340 in Douglas, and 4G7 in Jackson, with, perhaps, " Tillamook ond Curry to hear from," whilo every sniveling pettifog ger that wants nn office throughout the Territory, will be willing lo mount the platform, determined to ride it, ''till repeal ed," "just lo save tbo Union." Wo hope our Iirpublican fiiend won't object to any sort of n " platform'' tho black democrats choose to fix up, so they do not try to in corporate it in the constitution. J3T Tho Convention organized in Sa lem last Tuesday. The vote for President stood Dcady 30, Olds 15, nnd blank 4. Secretary Terry 44, blank 13. Ass'l Secretary Baikwell 40, blank 15. Sergcont-nt-Arms John Baker 41, blank 13. Door-keeper Another John Bakor 30, W. Barker 14. ri inter Bush SO, blank 13, scat. 2. Thus it will bo seen that the pro-slavery black democrats have things all their own way, in the election of Dcndy ns President. What foreign influences are being brought to bear upon the Convention we nre left to guess but if tho next threo months do not dcvtlopo something ominous in the camp of tho black democracy, wc shall be willing to bo set down as n poor gucsser. (&" Wo learn that Judgo Olney, and all delegates who were not elected on the regular " driven nij-ger" ticket, were ex cluded from the caucus at Salem. The Convention was engaged last Tuesday in a warm discussion upon a res olution lo confine each speaker lo two speeches fifteen minutes each on every mo tion, also a resolution to exclude all do bale on slavery from the Convention. The result wo have not learned. We shall probably hear from our reporter in the Convention by the next southern mail. (fcj Gen. Atchison, under date of June 12, writes to Mayor Treadwcll of Colum bia, South Carolina, advising that no more money be mado up in tho South lo estab lish Slavery in Kansas, as the prospect cems to be very gloomy in that quarter. OC" At ibe recent election in Kansas for members of the constitutional convention only about 1C00 voted, and seme three or four hundred of these were said to be Missourians. The Territory contains about 20,000 voters. tW Flour in San Francisco has ad vanced to 89 a 810,50 per W. Fruit is very abundant, and apples are selling at from S to 30c per lb. - - - , . ... SlaVKIIT IK OlIEiiON Tiik Last Doik Our reinuikt upon this subject in another column are bated upon I he ditcuisiyfi we have seen in the Oregon papers. I he laci that the pro-slavery parly in Kansas has adopted (he policy there auggested, con. firms our opinion. Since that article has been put in type we lenrn that the policy hat been ngam changed. The plan now it to add lo thn constitution a pro slavery clause, and alto a clause to authorize bank- in;.', and tuko tho chances before the peo ple. This chnugo is induced by astur ances received from the agents of the propagandists, near the Oregon line, that two thuuitmd votes v. ill be tent in from California lo carry iho pro slavery clause. This last tcheniH wns probably concocted in this city, end it may be that the pro slavery editors in Oregon nre not yot ad vised of il. If not, they will be informed of it by agents win leave the city in the tlenmer to-day for Oregon, for iho especial purpoto oi engineering tlieso two clauses through the Convention. This iuformn- Hon come through a leaky conliuenliul. who was so confident of the success of the scheme tbat he could not refrain from boasting and exulting in anticipation of -i. . m ! .1. mo cvrni. money, in any amount uetucu, is furnished 10 carry thn measures through ho Convention, and will be for carrying them at the polls. Lot our Oregon friends guard well their ballot-boxe. They may have a second edition of Border Ruffian ism. San Francisco Chronicle. The " remarks in another column" epo ken of were to the effect that our Conven tion would frame a constitution saying nothing about slavery, hut leaving the whole matter open to future legislative notion. We have had some intimation that mo ney and imported voles would be used in nid of the slave party here. If two thou sand voters for slavery should bo imported, who believes that one of the black-demo- crnlic papers, except perhaps tho Standard, would ever whisper a murmur of dissent I whilo if they should detect one import ed free State man voting, they would set up a howl that would start all the rest of tho kiotus in Oregon from their lairs. (KrEx-(jov. Footo from California nr rived on the last steamer, and passae through here for Salem on tho same day. W lint's iu the wind f 03" Tho steamer Kepublio renched Portland last Thursday. We nro indebt edtoj. W.

We learn that this is the second bull of the kind that has happened within a few weeks. If ho was' a " black republican" post master, we should haul him ovor (he coals; but wo always hate to speak of official breaches of trust by the ' niggor driven." democracy they are so common ; bosides, they snivel so about our " political preju dices." OCT The California papers say that tho overland immigration which is beginning to pour over the mountains will probably be larger than any immigration since 1852. Soveral thousand wagons are reported on the route. 03" We understand that John Henry Smith is preparing a review of Judge Williams' articlo on slavery, which will probably bo published in the Occidental. It is to bo regretted that friend Smith has thought it necessary to annihilate Judgo Williams and fix slavery upon Oregon. We really hopo there may be somo mis take about this report. Tho "Surmise," a now boat just built at Canemnh by Cochran it Co. for the up river Undo, was lannched last Sat urday amid tho shouts and rejoicing of a largo concourse of the braves nnd beauty of Oregon City nnd Canomah. Tho boat protnUei to )9 tho finest ono on tho upper trade. (Kr Mr. Cartwright, of Centerville, 1 1 miles southwest of this city, captured three black bears ono day week before last. Tbo bears, in using upon their old "stamp ing ground," were not aware that Cento n . . 0 nie, a iiuuriaiiing town oi some live or six log houses, had sprung up ihusum- mer nnd pre-empted their old dominions Although fiiend Cartwright fs some in n bear fight, he must not be set down as one of the Salem clique gentry it is a " bar (doggery) fight" that sable-legged gentry only glory in. DO" John W. Hughes, Eq., of Mon- troso farm, has sent us a nice lot of fruit from Mr. Ladd's orchard, for which he will accept our particular thanks. Ot apples, there were the Red Astrachan nnd Sum- mer llagloe beautiful specimens. Of plums, there were the Washington, Jeffer. son, Columbia, and Yellow Gage ; and of peaches, Cooledge's Favorite. The samples were jusi what w should expect from J. W. Ladd's valuable or chard hard indeed to beat. KrThe Slates paper are full of ac count of glorious celebrations on the 4th of July. We cannot now recollect of but one toast offered in Oregon on that occasion and that was offered bj the "Old Ranger" lion.

The mat. sacre took place on tho night of tho 20th March, 1851, near the Gila river, iibout seventy miles from Fort Yuma. Tho book is for sule at Mr. Bradley' book store in litis city, and wo presume that everybody will buy it. x jCiT We lenrn from the Pioneer ii Democrat that Col. Kbey of Washington Territory wnt murdered by the Indian on (he 12th inst. The Indian had camped on tho Colonel' promise at about mid night, whon he went out to order them off. They refuted to go, when he threatened to let his dog on them. At this they shot him dead, and, severing his head from hi body, decamped and fled tho neighbor hood. The Indian were of the northern hordes. OCT We learn that quite a number of our subscribers in tho Slates are getting the Oregon fever, some of whom will bo "carried ofT" west of the Rocky Moun tains before long. (& The Minnesota Times sums up the constitutional convention just elected to form a constitution for that Territory, as follows Republicans 50, Black Democrats 43. tiT Friend T'VauIt of tho Sentinel is still "pegging away" for slavery, after his own inimitable stylo, by reiterating again and again that he's for it, sure, be cause tho bluck republicans are against it. This in fact constitutes tho burdcu of ibe song of every blatant negro-worshiper who has played upon the Sentinel nnd Occi dental harps. The black republicans are opposed to polygamy, to banks, to high salaries, and to excessivo taxation ; then why not pitch iu and go fur all these things, just to keep from voting with the Republicans? Will T'VauIt answer!. We are compelled to decline scv. nl communications, a 1110112 which is one from Wm. J. Gale. The nrticio is very well written, and con tains considerable plain truth, but it would net like Thompson's '' screw nuger" on the stomach of bro.

The hail stones are said to have measured two inch es in diameter. lrine sentinel says that there are still several small squads of Indians roam ing through tho mountains in Rogno river, nod committing occasional petty robberies besides now and then shooting at somebody. OCT We hear it positively affirmed in soveral quarters that the Standard has been sold out to a Mr. O'Mcra from California, who will convert it into n nigger paper. We cannot credit iho report, however. . jtiT About five weeks sinco a man named Fisher alias Curly, or Sandy, called ntPartlow's livery stable in this city to hire a horse to go to Champoeg. Tho next that was heard of him, he passed through Salem and Albany on his way south. Mr Partlow wrote lo the sheriff of Douglas county describing tho horse and thief, who soon succeeded in laying hands on him nt the Canyon. After escaping once or . twice, ho was finally secured, and the sheriff of this coun ty basflone out to bring him in. : V , - 1 Monmouth Vnlvtrslly.
