(tr.ver't Defease, The last Statesman contain! the speech of the lute Representative, delivered lust Saturday ut Pallas, in which lie seeks to sot himself right before the iieople, or ra ther to counteract ami deny the charge which he alleges hare been made against him. What occasion there wai for all the (clf-glorificatiou the speech contain, we do not know, nor hare we time to comment upon it, but If all that Mr. 0 rarer says It true, he ii a much more potential man, and lioa done far more for Oregon than has been belct-Tcd hitherto. It wua great mistake to leave him out of the national councils, and the Republicans in the last Legislature who wcro willing to rote for him as Sen ator, but whose snport he arrogantly ipurntd, deserve mach credit fur attempt ing to put him where his Immensely valua ble services could be available to the State and the whole nation. In the speech, he docsAVpUiii why he wa afraid or un wiftt ;Ve the support of Republicans, or wbanVrucaut by the foolish declara tion that if chosen .Senator In part by their TOtes he would not accept the certificate of his election. We are afraid, though the late member may be as great and indispens able a man to Oregon as the speech sug. gesti that he thinks he is, that he is a very unwise politician, and will never succeed or b appreciated until he learug that there are few other people in the State who know something.

Rkmovai.. Il.w th. Demwrary Tr.iL lu Frleaa. Wc cut from the N. V. Tribune the fc lowing comparison of the ertimatlon la which the Wink Democratic party holds one of its nmin supporter the foreign vote. We hope every naturalized Demo crat will read it: " The Democratic party has contrived to rule tho country for thirty years pust iiy me aid of two classes or persons negroes anu foreigners. It has received irreat aid both in Congress and the t.ollego of hlectors through the operation of that clause of the Constitution which counts five slaves as equal to three free men. Iiy virtue of this provision, tho slave power always sends to the lower House awl to the residential College from twenty to twenty-live members who serve as the body-guurd of the Democ racy iu all severe conllicts. I ho Democra' cy lias reciprocuted tho fidelity of this corps by unwearied devotion to the interest or the Ncgro-ocracy. Next after these durk-hned auxiliaries, the party, in erery trial, has re lied upon foreign rotes. Jt has generally received them, solid and stolid, in the large cities and towns of the Union. Again and again have they met tho main brunt of the listtlr, bearing the Democracy to victory on their rhiclds. IJut, how different the treatment which these respective auxiliaries receive from their common ally! At the kck of the negroproiagnuda, the Democ racy annex Texas, war on Mexico, bully Spain, lillilju-itiT iu Cuba and Nicaragua, clm.se down runaway slaves, stand ready to revive the slave trade on the seas and adoiit a slave code in the Territories, and, cap in hand, are eager to do any other dirty or desiiotic job which their masters dictate. Hut, for Teutons, Celts, and men of other foreign races, they will do nothing except to receive their votes. From the tone of lass's letter it would seem that they have less regard Tor tlicir j.uropcan auxiliaries than for tlicir African. If a Hungarian, who had voted the Democratic ticket stead ily for ten years, voyages to Enrol and fulls iuto the hands of Austria, by whom he is pressed into tho army, and seut to fight in Italy for Francis Joseph, it will be in vain that he plead his American citiwnshio at the bur of a Democratic Administration. It will calmly look on. fold its arms, and tell him it can do nothing for him. IJut, Ictalarolina negro, whilo sojourning with his master at Saratoga or Niagara, Tall into the hands of the Abolitionist, and how quickly Democracy comes to the rescne! irtlie nigacious African turn hiftsft-ro Can adaward, Democracy follows on his truck with a sagacity of scent and a ferocity of nov i which me nest trained lilomlhoaud in Mississippi might emulate. The votes ol naturalized citizens have been ns valuable to the Democracy as those of the slave breeders. Why should they not receive ns prompt nun ample compensation for their Kcrrices; i snot one tiermnn equal, in Dem ocratic estimation, to three-fifths of a neirro? n' .i . . . n. jcii or a uozen years ago a blundering letter of (cn.

The New Yoik corrcspoudciit of the Ruflido Republic, the leading Douglas organ in western New York, utter stating the grounds of his apprehensions, thus indicates what will be the result of the Charleston Convention: "Now, how can Douglas men go ton city, when, inndvur.ee, public sentiment hns been so incourteoiisly expressed toward the chief? Culling their Convention at Charleston was a "sprat" to catch a "herring," but the iiemng won t no caught, won't even be di rectly civil. If the Convention meet in i. intrusion, nml its members express Dong Ins sentiments, they will bo insulted, shot down and overawed.

The above statement is made tt) from tho official report of the Clerk of the House of Representatives, with the addi tion of the probable amount of indefinite appropriations, to pay chums, etc.. nnd the unexpended bnlunce of npprqirin lions for 1857. The aggregate is over a hundred millions of dollars. The expenditures of the laovcmment under the administration of President Pierce four years were greater than during the first thirty years of our existence, including the war of 1812 with Great Britain. At the rote at which money was appropriated during the first half of President JJnclmnan's term, the cost Of lus aumiuistration will greatly ex ceed that of Pierce's. It is claimed that an increase of territory, population, and number of States justiGes so great nn increase of expenditure, but such logic will hardly satisfy the people of tho United States. They see that enor mous extravagance has prevailed iu admin istering the finnuciul affairs of the nntlnn and they are disposed to hold the party iu power responsible.
