" It wat a mistake to "p 0 that Ddu flat intended to purtue a cuurs that would damage hit projects at the South for a Domination fur tha Presidency at the Charleston Convention in 1800. ' I1U whole policy, at it hat already begun to be developed, will add another laurel to hit brow at an artful manager and successful tactician. Ry hit coure on the Lecomp- ton constitution, ha hat availed himself of an opportunity of making himself popular with tha Northern democracy. It has multiplied tha Duuglst democracy in all tha Northern Statet, while hit frienda in lllinoii art sanguine in Wing able to re elect hint to the U. S. Senate. So over joyed are hit friends in the North at Lit Kaotat policy, that they will of course con tinue their present shouting and waving of lints fjr 11 Douglas, forever !'' without ever stopping to question the policy by which be wilt aoon secure the rymnalhy of the South. , . ". ' The Iota of Kansas to tin South by Don glai't proposition to give the people a fair opportunity to voto on their conslittitjjon, while it may produce a little spouting from fireeutcrt for the time, will not operate permanently against him in that quarter. Alt thinking men, even in South Carolina, will regard the effort to force slavery upon Kansas as worse thnu useless. The fact of her unadaptndnest by toil, climate, pro. ductions, aad all the other' et cetera el democratic arguments against the danger of slavery in certain localities, at also the fact that an overwhelming majority of her poople are free State men, niut satisfy the most rabid of the Southern democracy that the mot well-devised schemes of tho bor der ruffians, backed up Buchanan's Admin istration and Congress, for riveting slavery upon Kansas, would, inure to no possible benefit to the S uth, at the outraged people would toon overthrow the constitution forced. on them, and inaugurate a repub licaoform of government. Douglas could not bo looked upon then at having acted in the matter otherwise than at a friend of the South, while in tho North the driven .nigger wing, which is easily gulled, will be 'married over again to "squatter tover- eigti'y," and pin themselves to Douglas's .-akuif, rend logo over with him when he Murnt a suinii'Mtrsault, and follow him on any 'Quixotic tour in quost of Southern ad- vtniur.es, if pcrcl;nco he may be able to -return with the svsalp of Cuba, Central .'America, or any otlcr hitherto tindiscov. ercd bourne where tho " soil, climate, and productions" lire all favorable. Doiigla hat already indicated . his policy, and .calmed down the rai'c of rise-raters might ily by pitcliing into Itochiir-an for his nnti fllibuslering policy- : Whether he will go to fur a to advocate the return f Walker in a U- S. vessel, and an immediate seizure of Cuba, remains in the future, but we venture to predict that during this Admin istration a grand scheme of democratic fi!i busteriam will be set on foot, looking to a restoration of that coveted "equilibrium of powt in the U. S. Senate,'' and the -"salvation of the Union," and (hat Don. glat will be one of the principal stoclhold. crte-f tho company. With such a grajid scheme for exten-ling our territories admi rably adapted, by "soil, climate, produu. liens,", and other little et orterns, to an ul timate augmentation of the power of the present rather palsied arm of the govern ment, all piled upon the back of the Little Giant, what Cre.eaier wouldn't forget ' Uueding Kansas" away up in the cold North, and beg the privilege of riding astride of the load on the shoulders of this modern A'.laa, nhilii tho driveo-uiggera of the North dung to his coal tail, atill squeal. Sag out their laudations of the Little CJiant for having carried oiT the gates of Buch anan'a Gaza, with which he tried to invest Herding Kansa while Ciilboun could go in and cut ita hain-stringa ! . Douglas has made a masterly move toward conciliating both sections of the Union, by supporting .both Walkers. Walker of Kausaa wa first shielded from the power of Buchanan's uplifted arm, when, as quick a Frank Mar. tio coulJ turn hit political breaches, the Little Uianl whirled around snJjied poor eld Buck' arm up in a sling, j-vt at be tas w alirg puH's'ic sVntf t i'.'j: !.! to ward Walker the fllibuter. Buchanan's blunder on the Kauras policy has alienated the affections of North democrats, while bit supporting Commodore Pauld. Ing't conduct at free from all talid cavil ! oept from Nicaragua iinelf, hat entiruly upset hit calculation! of unreserrrd alla glance in the only real democratic section of the Uuion. The strongest object ion that will operate agsinal Douglas at the Charleston Convention of 1600, will be hi hailing from tha North. Vie probably now iMnkt to come in ahead of Douglaa, by stealing tht Lit tie Gianl'a thunder, and phasing, in addition to the Uuion saving principles before alluded to, hit thorough Southern extraction, (lit Tammany Hall letter of Deo. 3(Uh may be regarded aa a bid for the vote of the New York delega tion in 1833. Wliat year or even a day may bring forth, we are of course unable to predict, but to ut present indication point Hrngly towards Wise and Douglut aa the tivo great political bullies, who will bo stripped and oiled and then turned iuto the ring at Charleston to fiht for the Lonor of tbe nominetioo for the I'residency. e lon't intend to vote for either of them, but if of the two evils wt had to cViowe one, we should alwaya take Wise. In gefing a Southern man we stand a chance of getting a man of some honorable principles J whereas, a northern locofoco i always tore to rather overload his stomach on dirt, in order to show hit fealty to fire eating democracy. t3T The Republicans in Gawp county have been the first to respond to the call of the Republican committee. Clackamas will be on hand soon, and Yamhill will be up and doing in due time. We hope our friends in every county will move in the matter immediately. If there ahould bap pen to be a county in the Territory where there are but three Republicans, we hope the threo will get together, drive down a Republican stake, and go to work. At long as the Republicans are without an organization, without aim or purpose oth er than to "fight the clique," and without unity and concert of action, we shall ac complish nothing for the next hundred years. There ii-n't to exceed one hundred aud scventy.five "Old Line Whig" (counting in Dr. Henry) in Oregon who have not either espoused the Repubiicaa causo or gone over to the Africans. We shall probably not have more than four tickets in the Held this spring the busliite, the National, and the Republican, with probably an " Old Line Whig Independ. ent" tort of an afTnir, going in for a rough and tumble, hurry scurry scramble for of fice, with a motto of "Hurrah, boys J the Devil take the hindmost one! and 'damned be he who first cries hold 1 enough IT " 03" The county committee of the de mocracy in this county having gone over tn the Nationals, the bushitea were in a fix about a convention to nominato delegates to the Salem convention. Gov. Curry, however, had tha kindness to tave the Union by coining down and circulating a paper for the sin natures of a " few leading domocratu," calling a convention. The call is said to be out in the Portland Times, but we have not seen it. The Nationals deny that they have any "leading" men among them who Are to be consulted to the neglect of the hard-handed voters in the country. They claim to be all equal. The National convention comes olT in thii city March 17th. OCT" So far as we are concerned, per. sonally, individually, politically or edito rially, we speak only lor T. J. Dryer and the Oregonian; we say cmpha'ieally, frankly and plainly that we shall never tail on to any party who now, for the first lime, -oppoaa I lie Salem clique dt mocracy." Oregonian. So tlioo democrats : who hare been claiming that the Oregonian was about to " tail on" to tho democracy, were mistaken. We liavo nevrr believed for. a moment that friend Dryer, who has always oppwed "democracy", in every shape and form, could be induced to " tail on" behind Dr. Henry, even although Dr. Henry has, liko him, betnfghting tht Salem Clique tver since he has been tn Oregon. X3T The lail Oregonian ny thai Mo Bride wns elected to the Constitutional Convention as a democrat. Wc Bride never claimed to be a democrat in his life. He has been a Whig up to the time of his join ing the Republicans, tad be wat elected to the - Convention as a Republican. In Mumping, Yamhill county he expressly told the people that he neither expected nor naked any support as attaching to any charm there might be supposed to cluster around the word democracy, as lie had never professed the name bad alwaya been a Whig so long at there was a Whig par ty ; but now, there was no longer a W hg party, he stood flat-footed upon the Republican platform.

We do not know Mr. Kendall, nor did we know before that there was a republican organ, ixailnn In Oregon. Perhaps Mr. Adams will, in his pr r to day give us, and (he rest of his readers avine further light upon this tubjecl. Ortyonian. We will most cheerfully render what light we are able to upon this matter. In the Oregonian of Feb. 21st, 1857, we Pnd the following ; ALBtttV CnwvesTioM.

For further particulars, see '.'proceed, ingi" referred to. In the Oregonian of April 18, 1857, we also find a Republican addreti, which closes ith the following : " Fallow ciiliena : The republican party is now a permanently organized party in O'egon, planted upon tho rock of the Union and the Coixtitminn, opposed at a nation al bulwark In the waves of sectional fanat icism, and floating over them thestsrt and ttripea, under which many a ca'lant hero hat bedewed the earth with his blood, to transmit to posterity the bleating of citil and religious lib-riy. Our platform ia purely national, and broad enough U hold every lover of equal laws, equal right, and equal justice to all men, from Main to Texas, and from the Atlantic to the Pa cific. There is no'hlng in our creed that would debar any man from acting with us, who holds to the principles efthe founders ol our government. In conclusion, we invite all to act with us, who can subscribe to tho doctrines we embrace, and who de sire to see the country prosper under a wholesome administration." If friend Dryerneedsany more " light," we will again recur to our files of the Ore gonian. tW W bear that Gov. Curry denies having j-iven the champagne supper we alluded to last week. W take great pleas ure in making the correction. We thought at the time it was very strange that be should bare taken this expensive method of getting signers to "that paper," but from what we considered reliable informa tion, we had no doubt of the truth of it at the time wo made the statement. A Hint. We have received a great quantity of letters the patyear enquiring for particular information in regard to d vertisvments in The Argus and other bnsi nnas mailers. Some of theso letters con. tained postage stamps theae we have alwaya answered with pleasure, all hough it has been something of a tax upon our lime. ' Others have come from persons wo never heard of before, and contained do stamps. For fear the writers may think their letters have miscarried, and may un justly charge the Postmaster with neglect of duty, wo take tbia method of answering them all at once : , Your letters were received, and imme diately pitched under our table, as soon as we tore the wrappers off and discovered their contents. . 63" The Santa Crux reached Portland last Saturday, bringing dates from New York to Jan. 20th.

Roth branches of the Legislature of Ala bama have unanimously passed resolutions authorizing the Governor lo call a State Convention if Congress refuses lo admit Kansas into the Union under the Lecomp. ton Constitution.

Laugh ler. He urged various objections against the bill, contending that there was tin ne cessity for a loan. He wanted to build the Government en the rock of hard money, or paper representing dollar fr dollar. He wanted to know where he money was to come from, and whether any part of i was to be used to force infamous laws and(W poiisms on the penpla of Kansas ami the Lecomplua Constitution at the point of the bayonet.

By the present time, probably, Canton has been attacked and captured. It has been de termined to make the dispute entirely lo cal. ' Should the Emperor answer the capture of Canton by the expulsion of the KnglUh traders from Shanghae, then, in deed, matters will grow serious; but should he determine that the Canton Gov ernor and mob have been justly punished, it is possible that hostilities may be con fined ii tbe operations which were to be commenced in ihe South. The British force seems to be sufficient for the purpose of retribution at Canton.
