British War Huaacr YUllt t&r la the Argus of hut week there wu published an item Intimating that the Republican part would muko the fight in 18 CO on the ground of Congressional Inter- Tention to protect freedom in the Territo- riet. Had we been at our -ot we should Dot hare made inch a statement, fur er eral rcaoui. Kind It is iirtjotwile now to tell what range the Republican gum may hare to take in order mot effectually to kill the sectionali'sU That will not be known till after the Charleston Convention. Our object will be, at Thayer said, to shoot exactly iu the direction of the enemy. We have full confidence iu the united wisdom of the patriot who head the Republican party to trust thctu to make a platform that will exactly meet the exigencies of the time. In the second place, wc agree with Greeley, who stated iu hit sjicccu in Kansas that if he were compiled to choose between Congressional prohibition and a homestead bill giving land to actual settlers, he would take the latter an the wort rfftctaal way of proltclwg frte lalmt in the Terriloriet. Thin is exactly the ground on which we made the lute canvass in this State. Xow, if the passage of a homestead bill coupled with Congressional nonintervention, Is the most effectual way to secure our object, why not take it ? Such ground would cer tainly meet with leu than half the objec tion that the old one would. Our object is to secure the blessings of liberty to the set tlers on all the public domain, and we arc willing to concede much of former policy when a better one can be shown. Princi pie we will never concede, though the heav ens full.

S.v Ji-aX Isuxd. The dispute about this hland in the Straits of Fuca is likely to cause some trouble between the American and lirltinh Governments. Tho Hudson J!ay Company officials have of late driven away some Americans who had taken up claims on the island, under pretense of their being intruders on Dritish soil. The Pio neer k Democrat says that the U. S. steam ship Massachusetts has transferred Capt. Pickett with his company to San Juan Is land, to hold it in defiance of British ag gression. LATER. Since the above was in type, the Duily Advertiser of Thursday of this week has reached us containing the following impor tant news of the American and British au thorities iu regard to San Juan Island. The Advertiser obtains the news from Capt. Glad well, who left Victoria on the steamer Julia, on the 2Mb July, and with her visit ed the island of San Juan thence cumc to Olympia, and by land to Portland. The Capt. gives the following information: The United States steamer Massachu setts had safely landed Capt. l'ickett with 00 U. S. troops, armed and equipped, and having with them severul howitzers and military stores, such as are needed for es tablishing a permanent military post npou the Maud. The bland had previously been occupied by an Knglishmau aud un Ameri can, both of whom claimed the soil as be longing to their respective Governments. The advent of Capt. Fickett and his men soon became known to the authorities at Victoria, and produced great sensation at thut place, both among the Americans aud British subjects. The British war steamer Sattellite was ordered immediately to pro ceed to tho island and protect the British rights there. She took on board Mr. Dc t'onrcy, who Lad just received the appoint ment of Magistrate of the island under the authority of the British Government. As the steamer hovo iu sight of the island Capt. l'ickett had his men drawn un iu battle army and his howitzers properly stationed so as to do good execution in the event of being fired upon by the steamer. He had also so stationed his men thut they could easily cover themselves from the fire of the steamer by a grove of timber. All was ad mirably arranged, and that, too, on short notice. The interest of the occasion as the steamer approached was intense. She came to, lowered a bout, into which De Courry, an oflicerof the steamer, and a tile of men ateped, and made for shore. They lauded, and were duly saluted. Mr. Irosby, who hud been appointed the American Magistrate, met them, and was interrogated by them as to the mennine- and intent of tho American troops upon the U.....1 'i't... ..... i n A ' . aikj ncieuusncrcu mat wc troops The Pacific reached I'ortlaud at 3 o'clock yetter- day niom'og, and the Northerner with the mail at 4 o'clock.

Ik low we sire tho latest news. There has been another great battle fought in Italy, in which the Allies were victorious.

ALLIES VICTORIOUS I Muntl were there to protect the island ns Ameri can soil, nnd that Crosby was the American .llngixtruto of the island actinir under the a mem-an U overnnient and laws. This re ply seemed to astonish and puzzle them. Dc Coutry then declared tho Americans to Itc squatters upon British soil, nnd order ed them to leave tho island. But they firmly refused to obey, and such was the posture of affairs when the Julin left. What further action the British authorities will take in the mutter remains to be seen. Mr. Gladwell tells us that, from a private letter, ho wits made to understand thnt tho llritish authorities at Victoria will not suf- rertlie Americans to peaceably hold posses- siou of the island, and wc further learn that Upt. lickctts force will bo immediately increased by several companies of U. S. troops, in anticipation, of the use of British force to draw tho Americans from the island (jcii.

DOCULASi MITI0H. The letter of Judge Douglas in reference to the action of the Clurlenn convention, is the subject of comment with almost every public journal. iJy some of thtm it Is regarded as dogmatic and dicta torial, lly others it is considered as a declaration required by Mr. Douglas's position, which was lia ble to m'srepreNntatiun j that it candidly) in ad vance, meets a national question as to that position t and that it frankly and clearly defines it. It must increase the party schism, and if adopted as the bais f.r a Northern wing to act upon, will rupture the Charleston convention. Tho Opposition is much indebted to Judge JJouglas for thio manifesto. The statement that his letter was written with the view of withdrawing bis name as a candidate be fore the Charleston convention, is wholly unfound ed. Tlae very reverse is true. THE SLAVE TRADS. Id some quarters the objection to the Democratic platform, as embodying; a declaration iu fuvor of the African slave trade, is thought to be trivial and of no practical moment. But this visw of that ob jection is met by many facts to show that tho party at the Hiiuth in favor of that trade is strong and ac tive. Ouly ou Saturday. July B. Mr. Stephens, in a speech at Augusta, Georgia, avowed himself fa vorable to the revival of the slave trade. caiiLsr at mi's rAk. The niws from the I'ikc'e Peak gold mines con tinues to be very encouraginf.

His calculation is that the proprietors of about SO by IW feet realised a net profit, in three days, of about 01,600. Ilia report is that the discovery of new and rich diggings is an every -day occurrence. OREAT SALLOON VOVAGI. Looming up largely among the news of the day is the grand aerial voyage Irom St. Louis to New York. I'rof. Wise, and his associates, Messrs. La mountain and Gagsr, and Air. Win. Hyde, report er for this paper, were the voyageurs on this mem orable occaMon. The balloon started from St. Louts st 2.40 f. n, on Friday, aud landed at 2.20 the next day having traversed in tno interval a space ol 1 ,:50 miles in length, at the rate of seventy-seven miles an bour. GREAT RAILROAD ACCIIlt.NT. An accident occurred on tho Michigan Southern i.unroua, ny wmcn torty or titty perrons were in stantly killed, nnd sixty or more wounded. It oc curred on the night of June 27, as follows: At a point where the road crosses a culvert the stream over which it was built had risen very high, and masses of di ift-wood choked up the culvert. causing the water to bo dammed up around It and to weaken the embankment. The night train from Chicago to the East was proceeding at a moderate speed, when its weight cuued tho weakened culvert aud embankment to give way. ane the whole train was plunged into (he flood. The horrors of the situation, in the darknens aud the flood, with the screams of the sull'ering, crushed, and drowning passengers, cannot be de scribed. MISCELLANEOUS. The wife of Hon.

The Austrian headquar ters were, at the date of that Intelligence, at Vi 11a Franca, midwav between JUanlua aim Verona. Garabaldi had thcu pushed his outoosts to Balladore. in the direction of Gordo, where tho Austrinns wero at that time (about Juuo 20) posted In considera ble force. The Austrian havo removed their bend quarters to Villa Franca, midway between crona and Mantua. Jncy nave auau doned Hanota on Luko tiurda, and also Castilioue aud Matecliisso, at which posi tions they had recently arrived m great force and strontrly fortified. The i rench and hariliuiitn troops occupy Brescia, and the Emperor Napoleon had advanced from that position to udvance on the A us t nans, Louis Kossuth had embarked for Genoa. Many other Italian cities had pronounced for the Italian cause. Ucn. Garibaldi murched on the 20th Jutie from Salo, On Luke Cardi, towards De8ccngano, but was repulsed by au Aus trian force. He has since pushed bis out posts to Bulluuore, In tbe direction or Gor do, which latter place is occupied by the Austrmns. Victor Emanuel had refused the dictator ship offered him by the Commissioners from Bologna in pursuance of his determination to decline the annexation of any part of the States of the Church.

Freucb official reporta make their loss at the battle of Magenta 323 killed, 2,108 wounded, and 270 missing; and at Maleg nauo 154 killed, 725 wounded, and C4 missing. The London Times, speaking of Kos suth's mission to Italy, says he will be em ployed at once in actiug ou the Humrurinn regiments iu the Atistrion service, and if possible produce a revolt in Humrnry itself. The same paper, in referring to the llus- stan circular ot ttie 2ltn Mav. snva it had failed to convinco the Germau (Jovcrnmcut that the German Confederation was form ed for defensive purposes exclusively. Trince Gortschakoff'a dispatch must be consiuercu a complete continuation of the continually recurring report that Itussia has promised France to interfere should the Ger man Bund render assistance to Austria. A dispatch from Paris states that one hundred rifled cannon were sent on the 11th Juno to the army in Italy. A dispatch from Tnrin, dated Jone 18, says that the Emperor Jfapolcon cutcred Brescia on that day with Victor Emanuel. Much popular enthusiusm accompanied the inarch of the Allied troops throughout Lombardy. The districts on the right of the Tiber, also Scnle de Cadello, bad declared for tbe national cause. llimini and Ceisi Lave pronounced for the national cause. Prince Xapoleon lias commenced the movement of his troops, with 8,000 Tuscan troops and 800 horses, all ready to depart with him. Fir Ms Argu; la 11 Hal Passing I group of woysidc politicians of the Dolf school who were arguing iu n gur. to tho last election, one of them expressed himself fcry positively to the effect that il thn innttfr of choice between Stout and Lo gait were again submitted to the people their decision would Do an entirely tiiuereiu uu. In other words, that many good Icmot-rat who fell from grace bj voting tor J.ognu were now sincerely repenting their misdoing, and wonld gladly atone for the error by a public recantation, disavowing motive and action, and rcversinir sentiiiicntit deliberately chosen and frunkly expressed. Is this no eordinir to the facts Iu the cascT Aud is it so that freemen of our new-born Stuto arc already deploring the liberty they have so rcccutly acquired? l)o we already antici pate annrchv and sociul disorganization be en use. wo have thrown off the bands of po litical demagogues to whoso dictation we have so long submitted? , Shades of our an cestors! 1' or what did Our Revolutionary fathers fight unless fur the privilege of gov erning themselves? And wc, their descen dants, are rcprecontcd as arraying ourselves In sackcloth and ashes out of pure grief that we have asserted one of the dearest rights of freemen. Is there one who owed his rich political friend money, and fears that he has disobliged him? Or another who looked for an appointment as village Post master, whose budding hopes are blighted by Hint " unlucky vote?" llow many inde pendent voters in Oregon, from motives such as these, or because they fed the stings of a guilty conscieuce, would desiro to change the votes they cast for Delegate? If there be nny such they have my pity, but I opine that such cases arc like angels' isits, rare indeed, lime was when the people were proud to rally under the ban ner of Democracy, when that banner al ways leu to victory. .Now its gorgeous folds hove been dragged in the dust by truckling politicians, ttud those ttamlnrd- bearers who bowed in busc subserviency to boutlicrn influence, having attempted to bind " free Democrucy" to the bluck car Verily, of "slavery pmpagandism," now stand aghast at the spectacle of honorablo and uigu-inindcd men who have always fought in the Democratic ranks, openly deserting ami doing battle with the opposition. Pol iticians of the Dolf style may "indulge in tho delusions of hope" may "cry pence! pence! while there is no peace," assertintr coniitieiiiiy mat " tlie lools will all come back before another election." (Perhaps they will.) But such prophets have read history to but little purpose, or thev would know thnt public sentiment iu this ago of cuiignicuiuent goes lorward, and not back ward. Stars which once shone in the zenith of political popularity iu Oregon liavo passed behind the horizon, no more to rise. Even that bugbear so successfully used to coerce the masses (I refer to 'viva voce votiii?' i .. . . . . . . .. r or oeing compelled uy law to inform all the loafers who choose to lie round tins noil how you vote,! has entirely lost its influence and many a voter at the last election ni-ov. cd that " Tis possible to live thottL'h politi cians frown." In conclusion, the people hereafter mnr vote as politicians bid tln-m but it js to be hoped that a better dnr is dawning for Oregon, and that fitness for of- nee will be considered more than a nomina tion conferred by a clique of "pot-house jwi minus. .Marion.
