AuAxa, Jn.22, 1809. i - - uDatle Jouraal.'J We have received tho first number of the Dulles Journul, issued at the Dulles on the 11th inst., hy A. J. Price, editor ami pro prietor, ot $5 n yenr. The paper presents a fuir typographical nipvurunee, ami us o locul news medium will probably be udvan tdgvous to the people of that section. The polities of the paper are of the pure ticgro-breuliiig, sectional stamp, iintl, like uiost papers of thut clinrneter, is devoted to such silly twaddle as ' the Muck republi cans nro trying to elevate niggi is to the level of the whites,' ' dissolution of the Un ion,' Ac, lie. Tho editorial is of that ilorid and verbose .style ko peculiar lo san guine youth who have not been cohered by age or tempered by lnciihl discipline a condition well suited to a Democratic ed itor, whose business it is to appeal to vulgar prejudices instead of sober reason, to siiji press facts and circulate falsehoods, to deal in verbiage instead of ideas, and to operate upon ignorance instead of the nobler senti ments. Out of over a column of editorial headed ' Political Issues of the Day,' we clip the following as a specimen of Dulles Democracy and literature: " But even here, in the face of ull these jrrand fitots, this ever-enlarging prosperity and development, this consummate success, these fit supplements to the vulorons and wiso labors of our forefathers, und won drous fruits of their fraternal, enlightened compromises, and all this healthy national aggrandizement, here as in the primeval Eden, has the fell tempter intruded with his insidious 'inspiring venom, ' like that foul friend of the poet who was surprised, Squat like a tal, close by the ear of Eve, ilMiaying by h i devilish urta tn reach The origin of her fancy, and with them forge Illuaiotu us ho pluintiuuna and dream diieontciittil thought, Vain hopea, rain aima, Innrd nnte dnirri lilown up with h'gh conceitH, engendering pride." Under the guise of a tcntiment, nnd in the comely shape of sympathy fora so-called oppressed race the negro the tempter has stolen within our Kden and as of old, ' the sly Itviiocrite' would even now seem 4 Pat ron of liberty' nnd wo sorely fear with such success, as to conceal from so many of ns, his true character nnd aims; and imperil with desolation the fair empire vouchsafed Aq us, unless these mischievous inspirations aire substantially adopted nnd acted upon." Our young friend has probably never paid much attention to politics, only as he has posted himself through tho negro- breeding organs, or he would have known that the Republican party was actuated by a 'tympathy' for tho white man instead of tho 'negro' that in the great conflict which is now going on between feet labor nnd slave labor a conflict in which n negro capitnl aristocracy on the one side locks horns with free labor on the other the Republicans nro on the sido of the white man; and, in trying to make fret Lihor both honorable ojk' profitable, Republicans arc trying to keep white laborers up, while the Rhtek Democracy, ou the other hand, iu trying to force negro cnpitid to come in competition with the poor man's labor (the only capital he hns), is trying to bring free labor down to tho level of slnvo labor, thus really drugging white men Joint to the level of itlavet. Tito Republican party leaves slavery just where it is, und is trying to elevate free tehite laborers in the Terri torics, while your pnrty is merely a tool to Assist shareholding aristocrats in introducing lave capital to crush out free labor, thus dragging white men who labor down to the level of torn-field nccroes. Your effort to degrade white men, and thus successfully put tho nianach'9 on them, succeeds only in districts where from the want of intelligence you can mnke them believe that we are the white man's enemies and the negro's sym pathizers; whereas, Republicans are the )artieitlar friends of tho whites, and tho enemies of nobody while liluck Democ racy is hostile to the interests of everybody oxcept negro-breeders. ' Do you understand tho issues now ? - In view of theso fucts, you mny well 'sorely fear that the teeming millions of free white laborers in the North will yet vindicate their rights by confining slave capital just where it is. If free Americaus were as ignorant as the serfs of Russia, the negro-breeding aristocracy might for a long time yet induce Northern voters to go against their own interest by voting negro capital up, and frcc-lulior capital down, iu electing Ihe RIack Democracy to office. Jf yon have auy doubts as to the ultimate destiny of the sectional Democracy, just count (if you can) the swarming myriads if free intelligent laborers thut in twenty jwa'tuiJr- will be thtiuJor'ui it: rothrosi! through some three hundred re pretentatlvcs from some thirty free States, doited ull over with school-housci and churches, mu sical with the hum of the spindle, the ring of tho anvil, and the soog of bappy free lnborcn. Ai to your comtent snivel about ' dis union,' we will Just say to yon that thert isn't a single, solitary disunhnist In the Itrpubliean party i they oil belong to ei ther the Abolition or Demoeratic party. Well, when wo get the Government in our hands, if these men don't ' dry np' about dissolving tho Union, we will give Ken tucky contract for raising hemp, and whenever your lenders raise a parricidal baud against tho Ark of the Union, we will servo them as Jackson threatened to serve Calhoun 'By the Eternal, we'll hang 'cm!' The leaders being hung, we'll colonize the undcrttmpper disunionists, such as the locofoco editors and office-hunters, in Africa or Cuba. (It was probably with tin eye to this that Seward lutely admitted iu the U. S. Senate that wo should probably want Cuba some day. ) Now, young friend, (and what we sny to yon, we say also to tho Sentinel and ull the rest of the locofoco editors,) you probably uudertand something of the principles, pur poses, and destiny of the Republican porty ; nnd, for fear you forget it, you had better keep this article pasted np directly iu front of your editorial table. Co-cinbrd Delusion, now that he hns thrown off Czapkuy's Agent, who got him elected as Senator, and has tied himself to Jo Lane, hns, in addition to searching the garrets and scraping the gutters forMtems propping up Lane, been combing the head of one Cox, from the twelfth Congressional district of Ohio, lit search of something that might hatch out to Lane's advantage. Delusion publishes a correspondence in the lust Times which he says took place between him nnd Cox in relation to the truth of the state ment he was reported in the Ohio State Journal to hare made in a speech delivered at Newark last August. His statement in that speech was that Lano "earnestly re quested that the admission of Oregon be postponed." Wo copied tho statement from the Ohio btate Journal, a paper which we have on file in our olfice now, and we have no doubt but that Cox is cor rectly reported, and that five hundred per sons who heard the speech could be found to certify fo it. Iu this letter, Cox says he never stated thut Jo Lane had requested that the admission of Oregon be postponed. If Cos didn't make the statement, it is very strange how Cuso came to have reported him thus iu tho extract we took from tho Journal, where Lane's name was incident ally brought in, in connection with n justi fication of the Lecomplon policy of Cox, and not as affecting Lane's faithfulness as a Delegate, a matter that in no wise inter ested un Ohio audience. If Cox ever wrote the letter, we believe he has eaten his words in order to help a brother Democrat out of a difficulty. It must be remembered, how ever, that tho ouly evidence wo have that Cox ever wrote the letter is the word of tho same Delusion who stated the falsehood tit Eugene City, and then unblushingly pub lished it in the Times, that Senator Wilson wrote a letter to tho Worcester disunion convention more or Icfs endorsing the views of tho convention. If Cox wrote the letter, and was not ashamed of it, why wasn't it published in Washington City ns a part of Jo's circular? The same steamer brought both documents, and if Cox's letter was genuine and true, it would hove made a very important item by way of giving backbone to a very silly cir cular made np of very silly assertions. Ixsaxk. Wo aro fully satisfied that Roc, who is now under sentence of death for tho murder of his wifo in Salem, is in sane. He is to be hanged April 2, if the sentence of Judge Boise is carried out, but we hope Gov. Curry will interpose his ex ecutive clemency, nnd commute the unfor tunato man's punishment to imprisonment for life. By that menus, society will be ns effectually protected against future danger from him, ns by his death, and lie may yet be of some service to the community and to himself. Will Gov. Curry show that he is actuated by an enlarged philanthropy, and governed by a sound, humane policy, that measures out punishment with a view not only of protecting society, but of re forming the criminal (a policy that ought to prevail in an enlightened government) by ordering Roo to the penitentiary in stead of the gallows ? i& Dr. Weed nnd his lady passed through this city on their way to Salem lust Wednesday. They will probably make an overland journey to Southern Oregon and California in the spring, and we fear that inducements will be held out to the Doctor in California such as will cause him to loeato in that State. The Doctor is an estimable mnn, entirely sound on the great moral principles we advocate, and we should be sorry to lose him as a citizen. We wish we had ten thousand more like him in this Slate. Declines. E. L.

Wo hear thut Doctor Crisis of CorTallis has found tho diseases of tho democratic party too much for him, nnd has concluded to hang hit Democratic pill-bogi on a peg, nd turn his hand to other pursuits. We hear that the Crisis is sold to Slutcr, who has changed its name to the Democratic Union. Slater was in favor of keeping np the ' national' party, and opiHwed to sell ing it out to the clique. Whether ho will make hit patwr the orgau of such a distinct organization, we are not ablo to say but from the fact that the Uuiou proposes to be soundly Democratic, we suppose it will pitch into the family quarrel that is now going on with great vigor, mount Jo Lane's back, and, with both legs locked around his waist and its left arm encircling his neck, deal out its shafts at Czttpkny's Agent with its right hand, till after the ' regular nominee' of the scctionalists is placed upon the track, when, ut tho signal yell, ' time honored usnges,' &c., being given, down will go the weapons of war, and the Demo cratic knights will rush .to each other's arms, affectionately rub their bloody noses together, and, ofter taking a few horns of whisky each, will soon be os effectually locked together as a cupful of fish-worms. Tn s Effkct. Delazon, in a letter to the Inst Salem organ, written before Faulk ner had made his report on our war debt, assured us that the committee would report favorably. Ha gives as a prominent retv ton for thinking so, that he, G rover, and Lnnc had all been before the committee nnd made ' lengthy speeches' urging our claims, Delusion ulso says: ' I am exceeding anx ious to get my sent in the Senate before the bill goes to that body.' "Wo have a simple proposition iu nrith luetic to present to Delusion's followers. If Delusion's 'lengthy' liighfalutin before the committee caused the commilUt to cut dowu the war debt nearly five millions how much more will his bombast and blus ter induce the Senate to cut it down when it comes before ' that body' f By ciphering this out, they will get the present ' value of war scrip,' and also lenrn how well it pays' to vote for the Black Democracy.

ARRIVAL OF TUN Great Overland Mail! TWO PAYl XiATMt, XIXW1 1 Oregon Admitted into the union i The steamer Brother Jonathan reached Portland Tuesday morning lust, bringing news of the nrrivul of the overland muil at San Francisco on the night of the 0th of March, with two days later news from the Cast. The latest dates are from St. Louis to tho 14 th of Febrmtry. Tho most important news brought Is that of tho admission of Oregon as a Stuto Into the Union, the bill for which passed tho House of Representatives Feb. 12. it o give below a synopsis of tho Debate the AttatMtoa af Orro. On 10th February, Mr. Stephens of Georgia, from the Committee tm Territo- ries, reported back, without amendment, tho Semite bill for the admission of Oregon into the Union. Ho said there can be no oneslion thut there is sufficient population in Oregon to ntinni ner into me t iiton. Under tho existing law and compact, thero must be at least (10,000, and in ids opinion there were about 100,000, according to the ratio of increase. Mr. Grow said that the question of pop ulation, though a safe rule, would not ul- wuvs control his oction. Jle wouiu lake Into consideration tho timo" nnd circum stances of tho application; but Congress hud recently set the exnmpio noi 10 niimn a Stuto with a less population than was re quired for a representative in Congress. Kansas cnuld not come in unless as a slave State. Congress would not give her nn opportunity to throw oft" Federal oppression and wrong. The population of Kuustis is much larger tiiiiu timt of Oregon. He would never give his sanction to sneh nn unjust discrimination us is now proposed in favnr of Oregon. On the 1 1th, consideration of tho bill was resumed, when Mr. Clark of Missouri said that the regulation of alien suffrage and ex clusion of free negroes nnd muhittoes con cerns Oregon alone, mid under all circum stances she ought to be admitted without regard (o population. Mr. Zollieoffer of Tennessee opposed the admission of Oregon, because of insufficien cy of population und its Alien Suffrage law. Mr. Comius nf Muss., being ready to vote for the admission of Kansas with a free Republican Constitution, as her people may adopt. Mr. Dawes of Mass. said that objections to the admission of Oregon lie in the Con stitution itself. He could not ngrcc with his colleague, Mr. Comins, that it is Re publican in its conditions. It was palpubly a violation of the Federal Constitution, tin der that provision which guarantees citizens of each Statu till the privileges nnd immu nities of citizens in the several States. Or egon has no right to drive Troiu her borders free colored people. Not only is it pro posed to exclude them from Oregon, but to prevent them from slicing in tho courts, holding property nnd from eating the bread of life. On February 12th, consideration of tho bill was resumed. Mr. Vullandingluim said that when Kansas should come here ns Or egon has come, peaceably nnd orderly, nnd with the consent of her people, ho should voto for her immediate admission. But Kansas was not here, nnd Oregon was. There' was no possible connection between the two, and he would not vote to estab lish any. Both would be free States. He found Oregon here, anil he would take the first that came, and vote for her admission. He was opposed to Mr. G row's amendment, nnd to nil others which only delayed or em barrassed the bill, but he thanked Mr. Grow and his Republican friends for op posing tho admission of Oregon. They stood unveiled now, and had squared tip nnd wiped out tho lust session. Mr, Lnno related the circumstances at- tendihtr the formation of Oregon, nnd our- nestly urged its admission, He said ho had no doubt that its white population wag over 93,000 Mr. Stanton of Ohio said the admission of Oreiron was only n question of time, Ho was triad thut his colleague, Mr Yalland Ingham, hud found something to bo thank ful for. So far as he was concerned, his colleague was wcleomo to all ho could make out of it in Ohio. It was last year by tho almost united voice of the Demo cratic party said that Kansas should not be admitted with a constitution ot iter own making without having her right of repre sentation in Congress ascertained by a cen sus. This was recognized and spread on the records of the country as a part of the Democratic principles, and there was no es cape from it. If Kansas had been admit ted ' under the Crittenden-Montgomery amendment, it was vory well known that she would huve sent Republican Senators. All he asked was, that when a Stute came here professinj; to be free, with Democratic Senators elected to serve (luring tho next Presidential term, that there should be meted to her the same rule as was applied to Kansas, and not adopt one rule for tho admission of a Democratic State and a dif ferent ono for a Republican State. This is the true secret of the question. He in dicated his olifections to the Constitution, and said that ho would not by voting for ndmission under it give vitality to the Drcd Scott decision. Mr. Stephens of Georgia was glad that he had an opportunity of showing the utter groundlessness of the charge made, against the Democratic party, that Inst winter the party applied one rule of admission in one case, and a different one in another. He held that the people of Oregon could justly lay claim to admission under the previous ordinances and compacts. If the Re publicans had believed that their opponents had done wrong in regard to Kansas, why slionld they pursue a similar course nnd keep a free State out of the Un ion J L wo wrongs do not make one right. The gentlemen on the Republican side had found fault with the Oregon constitution because it excludes free negroes and denies them the privilege of suing in the courts; but the political friends of these very gentlemen framed the Topeka Consti tution, w hich makes a similar provision. He then answered the various odjectious to the Oregon Constitution, and eloquently appealed to the progress, glory and pros perity of the country, concluding with some riotKfJCaarks, which weri lonrtly ap plauded, cechilly by tho members. Tho SiM-iiker reminded the House that their own sense of propriety ought to pre clude such demonstrations. Mr. Grow offered a a substitute lor ine bill, defining tho boundaries of Oregon ami ' St ll .111 - A I. 1 T I Kansas, authorizing mo ciuscnioi me uni ted States, who are legal voters, and resi dent Iu eneh Territory to take (ho necessa ry steps to establish a State Government, tho respective constitutions being subject to the approval and satisfaction of Un people. Mr. Snndigo, of Louisiana, raised a question of order, which the Scakcr sun tuliied. rtilintr out the substitute. Mr. Grow upculcd from the decision of the Chair. Mr. Stephens moved to lay tho appeal ou the table. This was decided iu the af firmative 130 ntruliist 02. Mr. Grow then offered an amendment to re- ncal the prohibitory clause In Kansas I oiii- promise bill, which the Sieuker ruled out of order. Mr. Davis of Indiana moved that the bill bo recommitted to the Coniinitlee ou Territories, with instructions to add un other section, repciiling the prohibitory clause of the Kansas bill and providing that Orrgou lie not admitted until it is ascertain ed by a census that she hns population enough for one Rcpresentutivo Iu I ongrcss, The Speukcr decided it out of order. Mr Davis annealed from the decision. On motion of Mr. English, the motion was ta Mctl 118 niraiiixt 05. Mr. Hill offered nn amendment to the first section of the bill, defining the bound aries of Oreiron. and reiiriring tho ascer tainment by census ol sullu ient Hptiiniiou for one Representative iu Congress, prelim inary to admission. Rejected oi against 173. Mr. Mnvnnrd's amendment requiring the populution'us above and Americun citizen ship was rejected. Mr. Hnslibiimo or Illinois movcu to ta ble the whole subject. Disagreed to 01 ugninst 124. Mr. Marshall of Kentucky offered an amendment for admission on a census as certainment. taken by order of the Gov ernor, of sufficient population, and on the J fundamental condition that the suiirage cliins of the constitution shall not bo con strued to authorize persons of foreign birth, and not naturalized, to vote for mem- lienor the House ol Kcpresentutivcs ol me United States. The people of Oregon as senting to this, the State to be admitted by proclamation of tho President. Tim amendment was rejected 18 a !rii inst 180. Mr. Bingham offered a substitute for the bill, declaring that the Constitution of Oregon does not conform to the Constitu tion und laws of tho United States, nnd submitting the question of admission to the people, and if they decide in fuvor of imme diate admission, to hnvc one Representative until the next Congnessiouid apportionment of that State. Rejected, 84 against 132. The question was then taken on the pre amble, viz: W'b reas, The people of Ore gon huving formed, ratified, anil adopted a Constitution nnd State Government, w hich is republican in form nnd in comforniity with the Constitution of the United States, and have applied for admission into the I7n inn on nn equal footing with the original Stntrs, therefore, resolved, etc., nnd agreed to 113 ngainst 05. The bill then pnssed precisely as it came from the Senate 114 against 103. The announcement of the result was greeted with applause and much confusion prevailed, nmid which Mr. Stephens moved that the Representative from Oregoti be admitted to a scut.

If these Republicans bad voted against the bill, the rote, instead of 114 for and 103 against, would hare stood 09 for and 113 against. So it seems that with all the as surances of Lane, Smith, and G rover that the vote of Oregon w onld be a sectional one in 1860, this Congress, which has a "" i majority of twenty-one Wacki, ws j not able to admit uregon without Republican vl.
