Since the day tint (lie Democratic party luM by It old principle, and old out to the Calhoun faction io the Tain tope of milting tlx South ai unit, and gulling enough Northern fool, besides buying enough doughiaca scoundrels, to reur.er every Presidential election certain for See tionaliiin the ' Democrats,' as they Impu dently call themselves, bare bad a tolerably bard road to travel. If there were do newspapers in the North, no common schools, and no stump shakers, to keep the people posted aa to the Slave-breeding, Frce-Labor-crushing, aud Disunion policy of l!ie Southern leaders of that part, it would have been a master stroke of policy when they tore down the Missouri Com promise, and over its rains set np a struc ture emblazoned all over with great capi tals announcing " iir oir-rkat pi-r-rinci-rr.i " as the Tola-Star or all the faithful for all time to como. If there had bceu no uewspapers lu the North, voters might have voted on in blissful ignorance of the fact that S(uatter-Sovercign Drmncrati in Congress, while professing to give new and enlarged privileges to the people of the Territories, havt never been willing to al low them to elect their own offictrt, nor have they ever been willing that the Preti dent thould appoint Governor! for then Territoriei ttripped, at formerly, of the Veto Power. Tlicy might never have found oat that the only party in Congress that favored the semblance of sovereignty In Kansas, at the time the Administration shook the Nebraska Hill over the heads of the peoplo of that Territory and told them it wat perfectly in harmony with that bill that Slavery thould be forced tloten their throalt with United Statet bayonets, win the Rrrini.icA.v Pamv, which, in solid phalanx, stood op for tho rights of that people, and succeeded, by the help of a liundful of Donglui Democrats, in prevent ing tho Democratic party from inaugurat ing a system of worso than Austrian des potism on the Deniocrnrydainned soil of Kansas I Jf there hud been no newspapers in tho North to sift the Kansas-Nebraska Bill, and show that it was a awiudlo, and contained no fraction of Popular Sover eignty, Northern voters wouldn't yet prob ably have found out that " my gur-reat pur-rinciple " Hint wns " ferried over in the Mayflower" consisted in nothing more nor less than an annunciation of the falsehood thnt " a Democrat in a Territory hat the RiuiiToiuy a weneh, raiit children by tier, and tell ihem to a Louitiuna planter for tiro thoutand dollart a piece provided no legal authority taid you thall not " If there had been no public journals In the North, voters might mver have been taught that oil " rights" are either fonivn tional or natural, and that a right to be perfect, in o human gorermncut, must bo both uotiirul and conventional or constitu tional a perfect authority, upon which our fathers rested 'the superstructure of our Government, when they dcclured that they fought for what " Katun and Nature't God entitled them to," and which they had the power to defend a perfect authority, announced by Ethan Ai.i.im when he de manded the surrender of Ticonderoga "by tht authority of the Gnat Jehovah and the Continental Congrett " If there had been no public journals iu tho North, people might not have known that the Republican party holds to the only true, tenable position when they as sort that Slavery In States whero it exists resit tulely for ill authority on local lair, and that authority boing founded on might, and being contrary to nature, is only a le gal or comtitutional right. The law-making power mat makes property of horsea in a Territory, has both a nanrij and eonsti ..'......J II- .n . . .... ....w.. ,,, io uo so and tue law making power that governs t Territory nas, in our opinion, a comtitutional riuht io ueciara that men shall be property, but it baa no natural right to do so, because cue very aci oi instituting the relation of master mid aluve is a violation of a natural law hence no legislative power bns a per- ect authority or right ' to establish slave ry. Thia is jmt what the Chicago Plat- wrm assertsnothing more, nothing less. It asserta a truth that can no more be overthrown by argument than could the suu be plucked from the beaveus by Dolf llauuah. ihemanwho admits that any law-making power, io a Territory cr eUe- wnere, hua the right to institute slavery, meaning that it hat a perfect right such as ia drawn from the Constitution and from Mature a God and that tlave property rem upon the tarn batitat other properly, is cither a fool or a scoundrel. A consti tutional or legal authority in any govern meot it necessarily nothing more than tht anthority of might, tnd when that author hy to in contravention of 'natural right it la precisely the same aothority non which pirates plunder the h'gb seus. The great difference between the Republican party and the Democratic party is, the Republicans demand a perfect authority for all legislation tonttilutional and nat ural authority while the Democrats, like pirates, ask only for a legul or conttiiutionat authority. Republican law making power aika, Is It constitutional and right to place a given enactment on the statute books? while Democratic law making power asks merely, la It constitutional or havt we the power t The former ia a characteristic of a high order of civilization, and la a rule that obtains among enlightened and highly cultivated people hence it tuk a man of honor, possessed of a soul, to make a genuine Republican. The hitter obtains among semi-civilized and barbarous tribes, consequently any slink con be a Pro-sluvery Democrat. " Is it right? " aks the man of honor; " Will it pay?" enquires the wil lain. The latter, Ignoring honor and in' lienable or natural rights, thunders forth from the rostrum, "I stand upon the gur-reat purrinciple that the people ire sovereign, and they can do any act they choose, subject only to the Constitution I'' There spake the soul of a demagogue and a scoundrel, and gaping foots shout "Amen! hallelnjahl ImllcIujVel' Says the clear headed statesman, " I stand upon the prin ciple that the people are sovereign and can do any act they please, anbject only to the Constitution and the law of nutnre recog nized by all civilized nations; this they have a perfect right to do but while the people may conttitutionally pass an act grossly Infringing upon tho rights of a mi nority, I deny that they have any authority or right to do so." Republicans respond, " Tbut is truth!" " Well," anys the slimy demagogue, "you are opposed to tho gur-reat pur-rinciple of popular sovereign ty; such, feller citcrzens, Is the damning doctrine of b l-a-c k r-e-p-u b-l l-c a n---m, which will destroy this gel lorious Union!" 1 lie example set in high places, such as the bribery of members of Congress by this Administration, the buying up of vagabond editors with Government money, tho resort to fruuils aud every species of villainy to carry elections, together with the constant teachings of Democratic pupers llial man is and ought to be governed by supreme selfishness, and that whatever wi f- I i .

Upon a close calcula tion, we make out thnt over two thousand men hare turned out to stealing horses and other valuables since the election of 1 oor I urco, who would have led a passu- bly honest life but for tho example at Washington and the teachings of Demo- erotic papers generally. If there were no newspapers in the aorth, thousands upon thousands might be gulled into votiug for Douglus under the delusion that he was 'standing' on popu lar sovereignty, when all the sovereignty he contends for is that the people of a Territory have a ritht to do a great wrong in instituting Sluvery, while at the same time he 1 stands' on the Cincinnati pint form, which plainly declares that the people of a Territory have the right to exclude Slavery only when the number of inhabi tant! jititifet it in firming a State cov- ernmknt, at the same time also endorsins iu his letter of acceptance the resolution adopted at Uultimoro endorsing the old Bluek-Cocknde Federalism that Jefferson abhorred more than any other heresy, that Me Supreme Court it sovereign over Con- great and the Ptople! If there were no newspapers In the North, tunny honest men who are Imbued with patriotism and love their country, might bo induced to voto the Disunion ticket gotten up by Slave-breeding Secessionists, who are open and avowed traitors men who have ruled the Democratic porty with a rod of iron, demanding one concession after another, till they, by their unholy and unreasonable exactions m favor of Slave-breeding, have wiped out the party n every Northern State, nnd who, failing to snddlo it with a Slave Code, have split I the party in twain, and are now running imuu.on wei, nended ty two rotten Anl nt n:.....t... . .L. -II "uiiuroiawnowinunngit it ..... ..J ft. ,1..

We lenrn that the Seminary in this city will be opened on Monday the 10th inst., under the charge of Miss Mary B. Stroud reccutly a teacher In the PortUnd Acade my. Miss Strood is highly recommended at an accomplished aud experienced in structor, and, we doubt not, (he will secure the approbation of U tht patroot of the tctooi . Tat Hllvrrl Tk Silver! Everybody la interested in knowing the value of our silver ore of which Oregon poMcakve any amount. The Statesman has notices of two assays. We copy thetn " Dr. L. C. Droy. of Salem, has lea at this office a specimen of silver assayed from tll! ZriZT .h l,h . r.or, i.arilv rrh, produced pure silver at the rate t,2UO per ton. air. I. is.

I lie highest average yields reported from these mines are from f 1,200 to f 2,000 per ton." This looks well. But the following as anys lower our hopes at least make us anxious that the value of our silver ores should be di finitely known. If they are valuable, we want tho news to go abroad, to bring capitalists here, and emigrant nil ncrs, who would go to work aud turn out the silver, aud buy np the produce of our farmers to live on. But we fear that tliero U do audi good news in store for us. We have silver ore worlds of it but we fear it wou't pay until labor Is far cheuper than now, But we give an article from tht Port' lanu Advertiser of &ept. 0. It llirowt a chill upon our hopes: Tne Santiam Minks. For the purpose of setting at rest the excitement now raging relative to the Suntiam silver! r) mines. we publish the lollowitnr traav of two ie- cimeus of ore from Hurton's lead, in the mining region referred to. I he assay in question was made by Mar- ciuiiid & to., or t ictoria, and resulted nt follow: Deport No. 683, silver ore, nssny equal io seven miliars ami liny cents per tun.

This paper is an honor to thu btnte and a credit to the 'art preservative of all arts.' The far mers of our young Stole have every reason io no promt ot tiieir paper; mid no agri culturist in Orecroil should fail tu talis ami read and puy far the Farmer. It is seldom that we are ablo to endorse anything that comes from the Oregon Democrat. But wo most fully subscribe to the stutement above, which we copy from tliut paper. The Oregon Funner is now. as we consider, a first-class agricultural pa- p'T; its editorials especially evincing uim- siml ubillly, and showing their author to be at homo in that department. The pa per is particularly designed for the use and benefit of the farmers of Oregon, mid we commend it to them as worthy of their pat- ronnge. We really believe thnt no Oregon farmer can afford to be without that nuntr. However much the peoplo of Oregon may he divided on polilicul subjects honestly au I patr.otically so we should ever recol- lect that the prosperity of Oregon must depend upon the success of the farmer. Bees. The Vuncouver Chrouiclo has come to the conclusion thut tho Republi cans will not destroy the Union immediate ly at any rate not until tho Presidential term of Mr. Lincoln expires nnd the ed itor is giving his attention to bce-ruisiiiir. Ho is ubout experimenting on a swurm of Lombnrdy bees. Ho says this swarm will produco from COO to COO swurms in year, and that each swarm will yield 150 pounds of honey. Let us look nt these figures a moment: 600 swarms a year, 90,000 pounds of honey. Tretty good in crease, and lots of honey! The second year: 300,000 swarms!! and 54,000,000 pounds of honey!!! "Better ash goot!" lho third year: 210,000,000 Rwarms!!! nnd 32,400,000,000 pounds of honey !! At 50 cents a pound, the present price of honey, tho third yeur'a yield alone would bring tho handsome sum in hard cash of $10,200,000,000!!!!! Wo can't co on nun iii:s calculation. No should not know what to do with tho bees or the honey I. e shall not be surprised to hear that Coon has given up the "conduction" of the Chronicle, and goue iuto the beo- raising business exclusively.

' " ' M ahoxic On last Tuesday the new aud Imndbome Masonic Hull in our city was dedicuted with the ceremonies of the Order A short but impressive lecture on the past, present, and future of Masonry was de- livered br Amory Holbrook, Esq., Grand I MdRter of the Grand Lodge of Oregon, deferring to the Whef among Masons that f the temple of Solomon, whoso walla were laid tip in sircngui anu ucauiy, uun. under the auspices of a master in the craft, he hoped tbut this beautiful temple might ever be held sacred to churity and good fellowship. After the service of dedication hud been gout through, Rev. David Rulledge, Grand Orutor.mado an appropriate address, which was listened to with marked otten tion. Several pieces of choice music were admirably performed by the choir, during the exercises, and altogether tht scene was out of remarkable interest. There were perhaps two hundred persons present. many of whom were ludies, the wives and daughters of Musous. A large number of brethren of the Order came np from Port- laud and elsewhere to attend the ceremonies. The Hull just dedicated is without doubt the handsomest of the kind on the Pacific coast, and wns built under the supervision of J. L. Morrison, Esq. The plastering and ornamental work were dono by J. E. Harford, Esq., and cannot be excelled for beauty and tuste of finish. Tho beautiful copy of the Bible which wns nsed iu the service ot dedication, is a gift to Multnomah Lodge from Mrs. Auonr Holdrook, and will no doubt be highly prized by the members of the Lodge.

Mr. Thomas Mack, farmer on the Blnekfcet Reservations, reached the Dulles on Monday lust, direct from Fort ISeulon. 11a cume through on Lieut. Mulhin's road, nnd mode the trip from Fort Benton to alia Wullu in niiie-iiiid-u-hiilf days. Mr. M. overtook Major Blako's command at Bird Tail Rack. They were making excellent marches, nnd confidently expected to get through b fore the close of September. Lieut Mullan, with his working party, was two days in advance of the command, milking all necessnry repairs ou the roud. Mr. Mack informs us that with one exception ho found the bridsres in irood condition. 1 he ec ptiou was a bridge that had been injured by the pussnse over it of a larjre number of cuttle. Tim boats at the diflcrent ferries are in cood order, nnd can be used with perfect safety. The whole road is represented us excellent, nnd its construction as iu the highest degree creditabio to Lieut. M. nnd his assistants. Mr. M. used but two horses in mukinir the trip, changing at the tceurd'Alene Mission. and ridinir the same animal throuirh to Wulla Walln.

By the new census, so far ns ascertained, it is estimated that the popu lation of New York city is 862,257 nn increase of 237,500 since 1850. On the present basis of representation, tho city would be entitled to nine members of Con gress instead of six, as now returned under the apportionment of 1850 (including part of Williamsburg.) In Brooklyn, the ratio of increase will bo very much greater than in New York. The eleventh ward of Brooklyn, which in 1855 contained 22, 000 now hus over 42,000. This ward is very wealthy, perhaps the richest in tho city of churches. The four leading Western cities aro now nearly about the snmo size, although ten years ago there was an extraordinary dis parity between them.

A meeting was lately held in Newport, R. I , to sympathize with nnd aid Gari baldi in his revolutionary lubors. The Hon. George II. Calvert presided, oud mado n stirring address. He wns followed by H. T. Tuckerman of New York, Prof. Elliott of Trinity College, Hartford, uud Charles E. Norton of Cambridge. The St. Louis Express (Bell-Everett organ) asserts most positively that $30, 000 was sent to thnt city two years ago by Postmaster Fowler ol New York, now a fuitive defaulter, to aid in defeat'ng Frank Blair. The Express declares that when ever the proof is demanded, it shall be pro duced. It will be remembered that the Administration was remarkably easy with Fowler, having had no regular settlement with him for years. No particular pains have been taken to arrest him. John Mitchell, if we nre to believe the Richmond Examiner, has left his adop ted country, not only lor that countrv's cood, but for his own emolument. The jonmnl in question stated that he had pone io rrunce, at tne invitation or the Emperor Napolron, who has conferred on him some governmental appointment. Tho speeches made by the Trince of Wales nre said to lie written by one of his suite, the Duke of Newcastle. The young scion of royalty at least has a good mem ory.

The American wife of the late Prince Jerome is said to be worth a million of dol lars. Ihe first Napoleon allowed her a pension of 60,000 francs, but the Bour bons stopped it very quickly.
