ADAMS). Tbo Hnuatltr Koerel Ifraaa. Our rcadtri aro naare that we have ou more than ono occasion called their atten tion lo ilio incongruities and fraud of modem democracy, at developed In (be in ception, development, and history of the Kantat-Nebraska quattor-overign twin die. A soma new development have re cently been mado ty tlie oracle of black democracy, by way of a more full exegealt of tho fundamental principle of the party, it become our duty a a faithful journal ibl to lay theni brforo our readr. Al though the Ephraimilo may generally be joined to ihoir idols, we thall not let ihrai alone. The truth must be presented again and again, a tliuro ere 1ine men who are yet wrapped up in the delusive nicshe of llii aqunttcr tovt-reign windh', who, like a number of our reader who have lately bad their eye anointed, and are new re joicing like poor Burlimeu in a little light, have ha;ls luQivienily clear and heart sufficiently honest lo ee the truth when plainly pretented, and then act accord ingly. Our reader are probably aware of the fad tb.it at the time Douglas bad bia Ne braska bill before Cougress, there Kerned to be a great difficulty among the member of Congress in understanding what waa meant by squntter-sovercignty over the domestic institution of the Territories. Several member from both sections of the Union proposed to vote fur the bill provid ed Douglas would incorporate a secliuri atripping it of its ambigui'y, and clearly lodging sovereignty over slavery ; in the hand ef the people of I ho Territories. Tlii waa refused on the part of Douglas and bi adherents, and the bill waa passed in iuch a shape that it ceuld be U6ed as an electioneering machine with the simplo minlod in both section of tho Union. During tho last Presidential canvass, the Northern or driven -nigger wing of tho democracy wero everywhere told by their scribes and stump orators that the Demo cratic party stood upon the principle of squatter sovereignty as enunciated in the Nebraska bill, and that it consisted .in recognizing Ihe right in the people of all the Territories lo tither exclude or admit slavery, just as they pleased.. In the South ern portion of tho Union, it was contended that squatter sovereignty waa a damnable heresy, as the Constitution of the United States carried shivery Into nil territory ei ther purchased or acquired by treaty, as Calhoun had onco urged against Webster, Clay, Buchanan, and every other states man of nolo. This being true, of course the people of ilio Territories had no right to exclude slaveholders contfng with their properly, and of course were not squatter sovereigns. In the North the stump orators and scribes of the black democracy shout ed ''Squatter sovereignly is the issue," and contended, with Clay, Buchanan, Webster, Benton, Douglas, Cass, and other statesmen, ' that slavery tegs a creature of municipal taw, and could no more exist where there were nut special legislative en actments sanctioning it than a man could breathe under an exhausted air receiver. This position was taken by Jo Lane during liis canvass with Ux-Gov. Gaines,' and as serted by him probably more than a bun tired limes, ,. Thi doctrine, .that slavery is a creaturo of positive law, and the peo ple of the Territories had power to make h aw recognizing or forbidding slavery, was the pretended issue al the North during the Presidential canvass, and, immediately after the election Bigler declared in his .place in the U. S. Senate that Buchanan carried . Toniisylvaiiia upon the squatter sovereign issue. Buchanan himself, in accepting the nomination of tho Cincin nati convention, mounted astride of squat ter sovereignly. We quote from his letter of aoceptnnce : . ' . , ''This legislation is founded npon prin ciples us ancient as free government itself, .and, in accordance with them has simply declared that tho people of a Territory, like those of a State shall decide for them selves whetlur slavery shall not exist icithin their limits. The principle will surely not bo controverted by any individ ual professing devotion to popular govern ment. Besides, hoa vain and illusory would any other principle prors in practice .in regard to the Territories." Thia clean breast of the northern horn of the Squatter : Sovereign dogma, was made at a tiino when it was expected to carry two-third of the Northern Slates for the Cincinnati Nominee. The South wn to be kept straight by private assurances that Tluchnnaa was realty "sound on the goow," and by such private whisperings in ' tho car of influent iul politicians there, as ; Buchunnn gave Senator Brown of Missis. ippi. Brown in a' speech at Yazoo, on ' the 4th of last July, stated that he bad ' beard Buchanan say that "squatter sover- cignty was one of the most damnable here. ties ever breached in this or any other country, and that he (the President) would leave nothing undone to throttle it." '.' After the electien, when Buchanan ' found that the "Squatter Sovereign" bait took poorly at the North, and that be was mainly indebted for hit electioa to tbt Fouth, dud it necessary in Lit Inaugural 10 play a two-handed game iu order to con cilinte one section and appease the wrath of the ether. In writing hi Inaugural, with hit bowels yet yearning over Pennsylvania, that good old 'quHttvr-tovereign"-gulled state, that Unsted hi in into the While IJuusa by iho akin of bit teeth, he tayt, in lauding squat ter tovereignty : .',.'..'. , " What a hippy conception, then, was il for Congress to apply this simple rule, that the will of the majority shall govern." llrre, with Pennsylvania loyalty full In hi eye, he think ' qnatier sovertign'y" was indeed a " happy conception." The next sentence Contains the gist ef ibis " happy conception" : ' "At to the settlement of the nitration of domestic slavery In the territories, Con gross it neither to Irgislale slavery iuto any Territory or State, nor to exclude it therolrom, but lo leave llie peopln tlicrcol perfectly free lo form and regulate their domestic Institutions In their own way, sub ject only te the Constitution of the Uuittd Males. ; ! Very well, that will do for Pennsylva nia buncombe. The President juat here is reminded of the southern, face of squat ter sovereignty, and turning hit back upon Pennsylvania facet the South with the following: -..- . A difference of opinion bat arisen in regard to iho time when the aeonl of a Territory shall decide this question for iheoiselves." All I There was a " difference of opiu ion" between the Northern and Southern wings ef Duniocraoy at to tht time when they were sovereigns. Buchanan bad al ready admitted iu his lettsr of acceptance thai (he " people of llie Territoriet" had a perfect right lo decide for themselves xeheth er slavery shall not exist within their Urn its." Now he alludes le the lime when that it, lo the Southern construction efthe Nebraska bill, that the people of a Teiri tory have no rigal lo exclude slavery while under a Territorial governmiid. n Well, let (is see what Mr. Buckanan't opinion was. We quote from hit '.Inaugural ngaio. After telling us that tht' matter would be referred te the Supremo Court, be tayt . 'To their decision, in connection with all pood citizens, 1 shall , dutifully submit, whatever this muy be, though il hat been my Individual opinion that under the No brnska Kansas Act tlie nppaepriaia period will be when tbo ; number or actual rear dents in the Territory shall justify the formation of a .constitution, with n view to its admission, as a State into the Union. Ah! ' "My individual opinion (is) that under the Nebraska Knnsa3 Act the appro priate period will to when the number of actual residents in the Territory ahull just ify the formation ef a constitution' This sentence, wnen sinppeu oi an Jesuitical mysticism, means the only poriod , will be when iho people of a Territory form a con stitution, instead of, ."appropriate period, when tho number of actual residents shall justify tho formation of a constitution." With one breath be tells as that ." squatter sovereignty at understood br the North, as plated in letter of acceptance, and as reaffirmed in his. Inaugural, llmt the '? people o a Territory have a perfect right to decide' for themselves ' whether slavery shall not exist within their limits' is a "happy concejitioii," and with the very next breath tells us that there is a" difter- enco of opinion" among ' the democracy as to whether the Nebraska Bill really con tains my such "conception'! as squatter sovereignty, and that his own individual opinion was that il doesn't I! ' , ' ' ', . In his late letter to Piofessor Silliman of Yale Pollege, and others, lie says ': "Slavery existed at that period and still cxista in Kansas, under tho Constitu tion of the United' State. - Thi :po!nt has been nl Inst finally settled e-v tho- highest tribunal known to our laws. How it could ever, have been seriously doubled is a mys tery." t . , ; ',, v , - ,, . So then the Supremo Court has held a ccroner't inquest oyer tho "happy concep tion' ofsquatler sovereignly, and pronounc ed it still born,. though 'happily conceived,' and. Buchanan in permitting the court to tear tjio .darling of h in bosom from bis em brace, is permitted as a consolation in his dotage, to bug another ' happy conception' to his bosom, viz; that slavery is carried into Kansas, as into nil olber Territories, by the Constitution of the United Stales! And how anybody could evorhave doubt ed it is indeed a mystery. That is, it is a mystery to Ike old man himself how he could ever have doubted tht democratio legitimacy of Calhoun's "happy concep tion" of alave sovereignly by virtue of the Constitution, while ; hugging to hits bosom the lifeless, still-born carcass of Douglas' "happy conception," that the people of a Territory bad the right to admit or reject slavery. : ,1 .. .... : The next stop in the history of the party will be a canonizing by the political tu preme court, of the doctrine of JefT.

(&r - An Old Oregooian" text etk. . Tki Way Tfcy Wo iu Tho Portland Time, with much appa real gusto, parades an article before lit rtadert which it clip from locofoco pa per it Illinois. We clip the following from il : " Mora of iho ' Decency, Morality, and In . tflligcnco' of ihe Republican Party. Another ef (ho famous threo thousand black-republican Ministers slips out bis sheep's clnlhing. In yesterday's pnper we gave an account of Ilia full of the Reverend William B. Sunderland, tho fiend who seduced a child not fifteen years old. Below we publish ihe end of mill another of the three thou sand freedom ahriekera. Is not ihe con duct of iho clergymen who embarked in Ihe political campaign of 1820, enough to mako every honest man curse every po litical preacher t" It has been a imirce of mortification to iho few moral men lefi in '.he blnck.dom. ncralio party that their editors Imve in a tncakiag way been plunging their murder, ou aletl of tlandrr into the vitals of Chris tianity, by holding up to ridicule at Repub. lican praachera every wolf in iheep't cloth ing that ia detected in crime. Not long lince Czapkay'a slimy agent io Salem pa raded before tho public tbo most obscene development in relation It tht Rev. Mr. IwtHoch as one of iho three thousand cler gymen who tigoed tbo reuioustranco lo Ike parage of tht Nebraska bill. Now we have no objection lo exposing these locberout villain! who under the garb of 7?i'i. invade ike citadel of female virtue. Wo say, io reference to all ef llicm, drag them tut, and place " A whip la ovary honest hna J, To lank lkte uioakiug teauisdrela litre' tho land." But we do protest against representing tbt se fellows at Republicans, when, so fur a we are able to learn, nearly or quite ev ery one of them are rabid Ivctfocos, and as severe in tbeir denunciations of " polit ical paraont" as Ike Rev. F. S. Hoy I, Km. C. II. Mat toon, or Czapkay'a agent himself. The way theaa locofoco items are mado up is this: Whenever one of the black-democratic parsons commits an immoral act, (he Republican papers with much mortifl. cation chrouicle ike fact, without any allu sion to the politics of the criminal, merely as at Item of news, and at a warning le community to be on their guard. The lo cofoco papers in the immediate locality w hre the crime is committed, of courso never mention it. Somo distant black. democratic sheet catches up the item from the Republican papers, and It immediately starts tho rounds of the locofoco organs under such an imposing head as the fol lowing: '! Another political parson turned up ! A Rev. scoundrel stripped of his cler ical rdbo!! One ef the 3000 signers in limbo 111" etc., &c. ' . For instance, if ihe Sec. Mat toon, tcio went, into a gumbling hell, in San Fran cisco and wagered his money, when on his way back to the Slates or the Ren. lloyt, whom Czapkay'a agent puffed as an excel lent editor of the Advocate, and "nn hon est and since ro man" (because Le votes for drunken locofocos) wo say if cither of these gentlemen should go in the way of Sunderland (which God forbid), of course tee, with deep mortification and unspeaka ble chagrin, should barely note the fact, without even mentioning their politics, while not a locofoco paper in Oregon would ever know that such a thins had transpired. - As soon as The Argus reached the States, the news item would be copied (with' a little added to il) by soma sniveling loco editor, and would travel the rounds under some such imposing heading as this : " Another Rev. Devil dragged out 1 A political parson a candidate for the pent teniiary !! One'of the sneaking scoun drels' who signed iho Now England peti tion, scotched 1 !! Another dumnnble ex hibition of Black Republican morality 11!" ' It was by just such means that the locos carried Pennsylvania. . It is n fair specimen of the candor and truthfulness of the poor creatures : who have to mako their bread and bacon by lying for "our party."

Wo are assured from personal observation and fmm tht testimony of those well acquainted with lha ground, that there I no serious obstacle in the way of a road through the timbered country between Tualatit Plaint and Astoria.

We especially invite the attention of the Standard lo it, (a il edit, or it iht only locofoco one in 0egon who hat brain enough to mako an argument), and invite it lo a defi-oce of it dead bant ling "sqnatier sovereignly." If the Stand ard thinks, however, thai by exhuming il, it would lay itself liable to in called " Resiirectionist," we will lake it for as good an excuse as a modern democrat could be expected to offer. tW We notice thai the last San Fran cises Herald, in making up ita newt ilema from the Portland papera, relies aoluly no the Standard, paying no tort of attention to tbe Timet, notwithstanding tbe Times recently gave ita "squirt in tht fate" (or copying from such papers at t lie Standard. The California papen have got to believe that the Standard it tbo only loco paper in Oregon that can lay any claim to truth, da. cency, or democracy. The war that ia now going on among tht locofoco papers in Oregon, in view of a general smash np under a state government, is truly leritio and sulphur. OU. . j 1 -i .
