We replied The Republican parly have never taken tho position you falsely say they have. It cannot bo found in their platforms, ond no prominent man In the parly has ever avowed himself in favor of such a policy. In tho only Instance in which the matter has ever been tested in tho case of Kansas the Republicans in Conjrresi ull declared their willingness to admit Kaii'us with thn Lecompton consti tution, shivery and ull, if, after a fuir sub mission of it to the people, a majority went for slavery. This is tho record, so fir as Senator for the 3&th Congress, wo learn that Delusion received for the seventeen days' service $147,04. His mileage was $o,9G8,00, which added make $0,115,05 pocketed for his seventeen days' debouch try In Washington. It is more money than he had made in his whole lifetime before, and still he has the impudence to urge further claims on his party on the ground that he got but a trifle (or his first Senato rial services. It will be recollected that we omong others charged that Lane would pocket his mileage iu stepping from the House as a delegute into the Senate, although ho stoutly averred thut he wouldn't.

Rut, alusl alas! poor Ben in this, as in most of hit calculations, found there was "many a slip between the enp and the lip." The House wus organ ized, nnd, suro enough, the astonished vis iou of Ben Stark saw the corporeal dimen sions of Ben Harding safely slowed nwsy n the Speaker's chair, while Reu Stark motion of Mr. Starkweather, the la-lilion wui referred to a succiul comuiilUo of three. The Speaker appointed Messrs. Stark weather, Trenchard and Crandall said com miltee. Mr. Starkweather, of Clackamas, offered a loint resolution, the Senate concurring, thut a committee cf live bo appointed un the part of the House, and three on tho part of tho Senate, lo druft a memorial to Congress on the subject of tl.o Oregon war claims. Mr. Gilds, of Multnomah, spokontsome IctiL'lh nirainst the resolution, on the ground of the Senate not being orgnn'zed, und the Republicans aro concerned. Now let us justice to Joseph, we think it but right to aec how your parly stands. Vonr Demo cratic purty, which you sny is willing to admit a Slate with whatever constitution she adopts, relutrJ (us Jo Lane told us in a speech at Lafayette) to admit Urrgnn into the Union till he pledged himitlf to Southern memb'n that lite vote of Oregon thould be given lo the JJemorratie or pro tlavery p'irty for ten yeurt and even then enough Southern Democrats toted aijoinsl our udmimon to hare defeated it, if the Rrpublicant had not eome to the reirue and carried the bill through. Hero then wo find the Democratic party, which hud a majority in Congress, refusing to admit Oregon became site vat a free Stale!! Again, we find Kansas regularly apply ing for admission, wild the requisite popu lation, with a constitution republican in form, and aguiust tliu admission of which no good reuson can be offered but a Democratic Scnalo persistently refuses to admit her for no other reason than that she is ifret State! Democrats in tho Senuta aru determined lo have no more free State. it seems, and Northern doughfaces, ediiors, stumpers, and ofliee-seikcrs never have a word to utter in condemnation of it but theso sumo scoundrels have buwled them selves hoarse ubout the Republicans being unwilling to admit any mora slave States. Of course these fuels wire sharp enough to puncturo the hide of even a driven- nigger, and the miserublu thing sneaked oft as soon as possible. ssy that by tue published list lie took no mileago ns Senator. Dickinson. Among ull I lie enemies of Doug'as, no man is more wholly devoted to his destruction by fair means and foul, than Daniel S. Dickinson of New York. Whilo Southern politicians ope Douglas from principle, Dickinson's opposition seems to proceed from nn innate rottenness that we hive always known this doughface to be ro-sessed of. Next to Douglas, the Ore gon nnti-Lnno Democracy have always looked upon Dickinson with peculiar favor. He, next to Douglas, wos their favorite for President. Dickinson was with them a great and good man, ond would have re ceived llieir hearty support had he been I'Oiuimitcd at Charleston. Tho position thut Dickinson has voluntarily assumed among Disunion Slave-breeders, his clumor ings for a Slave cod', his shouting for Jo Lane, his denunciation of his former friends, niul the deep sounding he has made in dis honor nnd meanness, while it proves that Daniel S. Dickinson is just the man we have always taken him to be, it ought to satisfy the Douglas men that little depciidcneo is to bo placed in any man culling himself a Dcmocrut. found himself left like poor Hobson to impropriety of communicating with I hot nriincu oi me jirgisiiiiiirr, mien hi wit hist business done by that body, was sim ply to inform tlio House officially that no quorum was yet present in I lie Scnmu, On motion, the resolution was lost.

Rending this resolution, nnd on motion of Mr. Gibus, the house adjourned until 10 o'clock to morrow. chooso between a lack eeat or none. Ben Sturk, ns you may well judge, looked aghast. He made a motion that the members proceed to draw lots for seats. The alreudy comfortably seated members, who had preferred a bird in hand to a bird in the bush, and chose to muke sure of a good seat they could get, to running for a high sent they couldn't get, of course voted Ben's motion down. Ren tried by a series of luugliablo motions to oust the sitting members and make room for a dis appointed standing ono. Tho members, their sides shaking with laughter, coolly continued to vote Dens propositions down, and elect him to the "Hobson cheer" Instead of the Speaker's "cheer." The prospect is that Ben will pass rather an uncomfortable session. The fact is, thut Ren went over to the Democracy at too lata an hour to make it " pay."

Tho I'JO electoral votes of tho South will bo divided mainly, if nut ex clusively, between Mr. Hull and Mr. Breckinridge, uud their support will bo almost, if not entirely, confined to that section, bucli clluetive lorce as Air. Dong las may possess, is iu tho North; but his most sanguiiio friends ndmit not only that his election is impossible, but that he enn ii'it carry over two or three Stales. Tho body of tho Northern voto will be given to Mr. Lincoln. Mr. Douglas's supporters can do nothing fur him; tho only significant result they can possibly produce will be to withdraw enough strength from Mr Lin coln to throw the. election into the House. This done, and Lane would certainly be chosen by tho Semite tho condition of parties iu tho Houso being such its to prevent n majority of tho States agreeing to cither of the candidates. Resting on these admissions, for they arc accepted universally, we discover that every vote given to Sir. Douglas must tend to tho ele vation of Luuo, who possessing neither education, experience, or executive nbilliiy, bus been selected to enable tho South to nmko tho most out of un accident in case it shall occur.

Tho law of New Mexico wus brought up in me Nmuto at the lute session of Con gress. Its barbarity wus set forth in the Senate.

A ranting Breckinridge nnd Lano man told ns the other day in Salem, that Lincoln would no doubt bo elected, uud as for his part, if it lay between Lin coln and Pontius ho hoped Douglns would be beaten, for he considered Lincoln a better man every way than Douglas, and he was sure he would make a much better I'rcsiilciit. Wo told him he was sensible, and his views were no doubt correct and, said we, a Douglas man hnsjust told us I hut he believed Lincoln would bo elected, that he hoped he would, if it lay between Lincoln and Rreckinridge, ns Lincoln was a bolter man every way than Rreckinridge, uud would make a better President. We said to tho Douglas man that ho was sen sible, and took a very correct vitw of the mutter.
