The Sectlonalists hire a terrible time of it iu fettling great Democratic issue. In 1807 the quarrelled about the meaning of the Ciiieianuli rialform. The then began to quarrel about the meauing of the Nebraska Bill. The next thing they quarrelled about won tlio meaning of the Drcd Scott deciition. The two faction! now odopl the Cincinnati platform, with a leriei of " explanatory" resolutions ottached to each. Wo notice that the unwashed are now differing about the txjilaniilion of the " explanatory" resolutions. In six months more the; uiust hare a few resolutions tacked on, styled" Resolutions explaining the tx planntory resolutions of the Cincinnati plat form. Then tlu-jr will need another tuil of explanation, and the whole platform of Democracy will be" Resolutions denning tho meaning of tho explanation of the explanatory resolutions altuchcd to the Cincinnati l'lntforui." We notice that among other great ques tions that divido the Democracy, their organs Lave devoted several thousand reams of paper to proving and disproving tho fact or falsehood that " Douglas is the regular nominee of the Democratic party." Now all these difficulties grow out of downright swindling a mean, dishonest dodging of Issues, so as to get the votes of the Ignorant. Let tho Sectionnlists show their true colors, as the advocates of sluve power sovereignty, whether by Con gress or the Supreme Court, and thoy will havo more Imrmory In the family, and stand a better chance of success than they now do in trying to sneak up to what they dare not walk up to liko men. We hold such Democrats as Jeff Davis and Ben jumiu in infinitely more respect than we do any of their Northern hypocritical allies, oud wo would always prefer to see the Government administered by such men, to seeing such an unprincipled doughface as Iluchnnnu or any other Northern Demo crat disgracing tho White House. These hnlf-horno and half alligator sort of poli ticians are becoming a sleuth io tho nos trils of the American people. nutiliaUmi Tho Douglas orgnus are making a terri ble hulhi-biiloo about the Disunionism of the Breckinridge party. This Is all very well, as their charges are true, nnd, being .true, it ought to damn every Disunion tool in the country. Rut then we can see no great difference in the two fuctions on this score. While Douglas is a professed friend of the Union, his colleague Johnson Is as rubid a Pisuniouist as Yancey. The fuel Is that while Yanceyito conveys a correct idea of a Rreckinridge Disunionist, the term Johnsonite would mean exactly the 'sumo tlilnir, with tho understanding that it " only applied to another faction. Senator Green of Missouri, in n lute speech at Parksville, said: " Now, gentlemen, who is nnon the ticket with Stephen A. Douglas, as bearer of their broad seal? Mr. llersehel V, Johnson, who a few years since ran for Governor on the secession ticket, and my friend Howell Cubb had to go down to Ucorirtn, and, or running on the Union ticket, whip Herschcl V. Johnson from the course. Anil ret thoso who pretend to olijucl to Joint V. Rreckinridge because of Ins disunion proclivities, place the ackuowl edged and rubid disunionist, Hersehel V, Johnson, In the second post of honor in the nationnl nllcctions." . J II. V. Johnson, in addition to his being a Disunionist, is ns deadly hostile to Squat ter Sovereignly, and ns much iu favor of 0 slave code, as Jo Lane Is. If any one calls this in question, we will prove it Ibtro any of tho Douglas organs deny itf n- The Albany (N. Y.) Standard, Rreckinridge paper, says that during tho visit of Douglas to Albany, he was visited by tiov. Morgan, Tliurlow Weed, and oilier distinguished Republicans, and an urrangrmcnt was made with Douglas, by which he was to be Secretary of State uu der Lincoln, iu consideration of his keep ing up the split in the Democratic ranks. If Douglas volet for Honest Abe, which be will probably do, we will try to have biiu npoiutcd postmaster at Cairo; but as to his being Hivrt tary of State, that is all a mistake. The utile Giant isn't smart enough to make a Secretary under the Rio Giant. l'lKi' 1'KiK A u. Riunr Two Doug las orators called a toast meeting- in the I'ike's l'cuk mines, and mad rousing and ranting speeches for Douglas. At the close of the speeches, the orators offered resolutions endorsing the Littlt Giant, bat, to their mortification, tho resolutions were overwhelmingly voted down, and the noble miners took their hats from their dust-covered brows, waved thera iu the air, and shouted for tho Dig Giant till they made tb wr'kin ring A team Careltaa Praim aialatl Die wales. Wc find an Interesting and able commu nication In the Charleston Courier, written by B. V. Perry, and dated "Greenville Court-House, Aug. 13, 1800," which con tains a fair and manly protest ogslnst all measures tending to a dissolution of tho Union. We can give only a few brief no tices. Mr. Perry says that " Lincoln will be elected President," In consequence of the disruption of the Democratic party, and that a majority of the people will bo op posed to him. The conclusion that he will be elected Is Just; but not so that he will be opposed by a majority of the people. We believe that a majority will be with him; but wo have often had "minority' Presidents James Buchanan being one of them. In fact, we haven't bad a 'majority' President since the election of Tiiiecuiioo, in 1840. Perry frankly admits that Lin- coin nus a better recoru man twinore nau when ho was elected, and that " Fillmore went out of office a very popular man in the South"; and ho believes thut " 'Old Abe' will go out of office quite a fuvorite with the Southern people." Perry, though a supporter of Breckin ridge, siieaks thus of the Breckinridge par ty In South Carolina: " Disunion a word of horrible import to the illustrious sages of the Republic, one which was not to be breathed by Washington, JiQVrion, Madison, Monroe, aud Jackson is now in the mouth ol ev ery flippsnt politician, certain newspaper editors, half-educated schoolboys, and un thinking mortals. It is the high road to office and populurity, and he who dares rcMMit the dying behest of the Father of his Country, is branded a traitor. Well may it be said, we huve fallen on evil times, and thut 'those whom the gods intend to destroy they first make mad.' '' Relative to Disunion, lie ssys: " The question arises, Is it proper for South Carolina to take the initiative again in a disunion movement 7 Twice already has she failed, after mounting boldly to the precipice and looking over. Nor has she won any laurels for wisdom and statesman ship iu these threatened disruptions of the Government. Virginia was so discour teous as to not even accept our invitation to meet in consultation on her own wrongs aud injuries. - Col. Orr think South Caro lina should not act without Georgia, Ala buma, nnd Mississippi. The Col. knows very well that he is perfectly safe in wait ing for Georgia. Ho would not be more so in waiting for Maryland or Kentucky." Ho coi.tinu'.s: " Io consummate tins folly, it is pro posed for South Carolina to march out of the Union solitary and alone; that if left alone we shall do very well, and if an at tempt is made to force us hack, the South will rally to the rescue. We had better not depend on being let ulone if we oppose the collection of duties. We may with draw our members of Congress, nnd no one will disturb us. In 1851, President Fillmore (Id not manifest uny disposition to lit us pious. He sent troops to Charles ton, lien. Jackson did the same in 1831 We must not, therefore, ex pre t to bo let ulone. Will the other Southern States rally to our assistance in doing that which they themselves think it advisable not to do?" Mr. Perry is right. " Old Abe" will do justice to the South, and Southeru peo pie will find thut the representations made to them of the views and designs of the Republican party by Northern demagogues are basely false, end that Lincoln will leave his office a fovorito with all Southern penplo except those who under nny state of circumstances are disposed to destroy the Union. And this 'Old Abe' will never permit to be done that bat be PKPENPED ox. Mark MloUkra. A Douglas irieiHl writes to us that we are incorrect in stating that Douglas ever ackowledged that tho Drcd Scott decision settled tho doctrine thnt slave property stood on the same footing with other prop erty in the Territories, and that slavehol ders have the right to carry their slave property withJbem.' Our friend says Douglas has always held, ns he now does, thnt the Court has decided nothing of the kind, and that the people can exclude slavery if they choose, as he stated ut Free port. Our friend is egregiously mistaken, ns we prove by quoting the following par egrnph from Douglas' speech in New Or leans, after his election to the Senate in 1858. Let our Donglusite friend read this twice, and then say whether As is not mis taken, and whether be hasn't been grossly dec eived in Douglas: " I, in connection with the Democracy of Illinois, accepted the decision of Hie Supreme Court in the Dred Scott case as an authoritntivo exposition of the Constitution hatcver limitations the Constitution, ns expounded by tho Courts, imposes upon the authorities or a Territorial Legislature, we cheerfully recognize and respect. In conformity with that decision, slaves are recognized as property, and placed on an equal footing with other property. Hence, the owners or slaves, the same as any other siecies of property, have the right to re move to the Territories and carry their property with them." Sorrowful Accident. Ou Wednesday lust, the wife of Mr. Huntington, Methodist minister ou the Mill Creek Circuit, Marion county, was thrown from a buggy, causing her death in a short time. The accident happened near Mt. Looncy'a, and was caused by the horse running away. r Tracy & Co. now tend ao exprets through to Sao Francisco by the daily stage.

' I Vraas Nelata. Corr"poB!iuc of the Arfae. Sai.km, Oct. 4, 1800, Nothing of consequence sjve the election of Senators has occurred during the past week in either branch of the Legislature, The result is alrcodr known to you, and affords doubtless matter of congratulation to oil who desire the downfall of the Lane dynasty. I hope the people of Oregon may. never havo cause to regret tho action which hss secured Senators who will never submit to Southern dictation. Gen. Nrs mith will relieve Lane of his rciensihle and anxious caret on the 4th of March next, ahd may possibly remlud the old General that turning men out of office it " a game that two can play at." By his election, Douglas will have one adherent iu the Senator, In place of Pugh at least, until onr Senator becomes a Republican; an event which our La no friends predict will speedily occur. " So mote it be." Col. Baker seems Justly grutiful to his constituents, who have to promptly ac knowledged hit abilities, aud, in a manner unparalleled in the history of the country, have advanced him to the highest honor iu their gift. No ono doubts bis ability to do an immense work for the Pucfir coast, and if there has been a question in the minds of any as to the expediency of selecting him to renresont Oreion" so soon afield aaaB,a,a,aaaaaaaaaBBBaX 1 energetic efforts in our beliall will silence aTroiijcclion and satisfy ouT"Teoile that " he is the right man in the right place." I am sorry to tee that tho Orcgoninn last week aud the extra Statesman which on- tionnced his election, by way of justifying Democrats for giving him their support, deemed it expedient to attempt to "tone down" his straight Republican principles, ill i"'p"'jng to lim ajjetji'f in mm. nf Hip heresies of Douglas, the squatter urines of arrival in the Stale. I trust his zealous WF lnM nM V", anne eany ngo ui demagogues. Col. TCTer pi'oltsscs"to betj" RO b7 William of Normandy, who, a Republican, and nothing else; those who, to defend him, pretend that he is less than this, do him an injustice and will greatly impuir and weaken his influence. As was perhaps to be expected, the elec tion has been the occasion of displaying some ill feeling toward those who supported the fusion, as well as toward others who doubted its policy. It seems to be sup posed that members lose their individuality uud personal responsibility, nnd must ex ecute, the purty will, without a why or n wherefore'; Mr. Elkins of L;nn saw fit, as I suppose ho hud a right to do, to vote for Raker and Nesmith, nnd as soon as knowl edge of his act reached Albany, he was hung iu effigy, and then his opponents in impotent rage wreaked further vengeance ou tho image of the Senator by burning it. The next day your Senator (Kelly) intro duced a resolution in the Senate, over which Elkins presides, asking him to re sign, because that dignified body hud lost all confidence in his integrity nnd honor. The President refused to put the question to the Senate, aud, au appeal being taken, refused to cntertaiu that motion. Kelly asked him to return the resolution, and Elkins pocketed it. Since then, the Sen ute bus done nothing, und some of the members declare thut no action shull take pluco till the resolution passes or is disposed of. It is a pretty quarrel ns it stands, only it costs tho Stute too much money, and may stop all further legislation. Last night the Senator from Coos nud Curry and one of those from Marion had a little skirmish, in which hard words and some blows passed, but I presume that will be the end of it. Bad whisky prevails too abundantly, and of course has its effect. Curry canio within one vote of.an elec tion, and was nearer to a sent in, the U. S. Senate, than he ever will bo niuCin. ... 7 xours, a. H. Sai.km, Oct 10, 1800 Ed. Argn.s: The bill for mi election for Congressman this full, pending in Jhei House, ou the 8th inst. a motion was made to havo a night session, which prevailed. This night session afforded another op portunity for tho gentleman from Multno mah to display his eloquence. For a com prehensive view ot that speech, I refer you to the columns of the Democrat, as I have no doubt it will there appear, at least the reporter seemed rather busy just at that time of the delivery of the first speech, and equally as idle afterward. It may be that I am not called upon to pass my judgment upon the merits of this speech, or even the many glaring demerits of the same. There were but four points in it 1st, if there was no authority for an election Inst Juik, there was no authority for the election of Legislators ut the same time; 2nd, a further exhibit of the compact between Republicans and the Donglasinen; 3rd, he considered the bill a personal attack upon George K. Sliid; 4th, tho indispensable necessity of giving my (the speaker's) opinion. Regardless of the cry of coalition, negro iu the fence, and such like weighty consid erations, the bill passed the House by a majority of 8. The vote stood, yeas 19, nays 11. An altercation took place between the senior aud (former) junior editors of the Statesman. The latter gentleman was tried before the Justice of this precinct, and bound over to keep the peace. Col. Bsara at Portland. We learn that Col. Baker addressed the citizens of Tortlaud last Saturday evening at the Theater.

Walker, At our renderi already know, Gen William Walker had enlaced in another expedition against Ccntrul America, and had landed and enptured Troxillo, HonUU rns.
