For Ihi Argui. Hlaverjr. Extract fram Letter written hy an Oregun Lidyla a i'td iu A'antas, during the tale trouble! in th it Territory. " It gave mo grcnt pleasure lo hear from you one. more. I wua truly hny to leurit that you wiro pro.?M.rous iu your uetv home, niter haviiiir Inst vour nil in Missouri. I trust tli.it it ii still well with you and your. I bare been aurnriwil at imt huinjj rm-utly gecu your brotlirr'i mime in any of the ocwfpiipira. It uted to bo to prominent in cuiitu-ctioii with the poliljeiil uiiil militiiry trniinactioiw goiu on iu your Territory, thut of l.ito I haro thought it pouiblu thut you have all be come wearied of thut tempestuous region, oud huve gone uway to neck s home in Komo more gciiiul place. There huve been scenes enacted ill Kunsus which must have been repulsire to one w ho in curlier yeurs, while yet time and cure hud left no impress on his brotv, could write, as the lungunge of his heart, tlio bcnuliful verses from which I niuke the following extract: 'The dreams of boyhood, oue by one, In sorrow were d spell'd, And every af rugate after fame liy fute was anil repell'd J My m n I.ik) J 's sun ro.a o'er my life iMid clouds ami trlonn an l woe, An I now awny ffin home, and all Once bi iyht iu In pe, I go.' ion sny thut if Kiiiisns is made a free State it will bo the death of your hopes. Let your hopes dio then, the sooner the better, if tiny huvo no other principlo of l.fe thnn thut which depends for sustenance npon the perpetual bondage and degrada tion of multitudes of human liuinjrs, with souls as precious, notwithstanding the color of the skin, as yours und mine. Von com p!uiu thut the friends of freedom are bold nnd persevering in advocating their sci'ti menls. My dcur friend, I have not the time to dwell upon this sul'j.rt, or I could utiow you, I think, without nny very great intellectiiul effort, that there is not half so much said iigninst slavery ns there should be. I tell vou, shivery is wrong. It is a reproach to the American nation, n deep, dark stain upon her escutcheon. It is a shame that tt people so enlightened and so proud of their mttionnl independence, should cherish within their borders a sys tem so tyrnnniciil. You uud I believe thut there is a God in Ilea veil whotukes cogni zance of the ii flu i rs ef men, and do we not kuow thut he will not overlook injustice? Alrenily the heavens exhibit signs of coin- in;' displeasure. JJeliolJ, fur dowu along the edge of the horizon there lielh a cloud, not larger, perhaps, thun a man's hand. Wait a little while, and thut cloud will as cend, und will guther blackness as it ad vances.. Already we see the lightnings flash, and hear the multt rings of the dis til nt thunder. When the judgments of God are iihroud in the land, perhaps the people will learn righteousness. Is it not better to do right from a principle of love, thun to be driven to it from a seuso of danger? Some of the advocates of slavery sny tlist it is a Bible institution, nnd they even pervert portions of the Sacred Word to sustain the iniquitous system. Let such remember that there is such a thing as wresting Scripture to one's own destruc tion. It shivery is an institution ol divine authority, then so is polygamy ; for, in the times of comparative iguoruiice, when the one was winked at, the other did exist. In that day, there were other customs in practice that would scorccly be tolerated by ft civilized uud Christian nation amidst the light of the nineteenth century; for in stance a man taking to wife bis half sister, as in the case of Abraham. I do not be lieve, however, that Abraham was a slave holder in the sense in which African slave ry exists in the United States. He was a patriarch, the head of a people, some hun dreds of whom, it seems, were trained for military service, just, I suppose, as the chiefs of Scottish duns trained their clans men. Would our slaveholders dure to to train and arm the abject thousands whom they have under their control? Very far would they bu from doing any such thing. Abraham waited in person upou his guests, and bis wife Sarah prepared victuals for them, circumstances which prove that neither himself nor bis family were accustomed to depend npon menials. But admit that it was otherwise, and thut he did keep in a state of most abject bond age some hundreds of his fellow creatures, for whose services he gave sufficient of food tid clothing to keep them fit for labors his example in that matter would not be in accordance with the Word of Inspiration, either in spirit or precept, and consequently ould be unfit for our imitation. There is a Bible rule referring to our treatment of others, so broad that it need not be mis taken, which, if applied, would soon sweep away the whole system of oppression " Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." lie who gave this command was sufficiently explicit to leave no doubt as to the extent r it. .nrJ-mtion The Gospel is a die-! oensatioo of love, aud no system canbe'aoJ do without them to-morrow? No, ijht which ii iU itrj nature precloaea wi0 n OKEGON CITY, OREGON, OCTOBER 20, the possibility of fully carrying out in the ev ry day biiitiness ol life iu every precept. Does shivery admit of this? Answer me candidly. I will refer you to oue feature, by way of suggestion, lo assist you. Is I ho iguoruiice in which slaves are kept merely on accident, or is thut Igimriince essential to the continuance of the system? On one occasion I ak d a Southern ludy why tin y did not tench their slaves to rend the IS. bio. Sho replied, 'That. In tiie South, we dure not do, even if there were no legal prohibitions.' Teach those mill ions of black' to read,' sho continued, 'and we could not hold them us slaves. IVr would murder us all, but that they would be free.' " This ludy hud inherited a large fortune many thousands of dollars of which consisted iu slaves. She did not try to soothe her couscicnco with the salvo ap plied by many, that in respect to instruc tion they nre better off than they would havo been if their ancestors hud not been stolen away from their own benighted Af rica. You dwell upon this circumstance, but examine your heart, and you will ad mit thut any arguments drawn from it iu favor of slavery are fallacious. The Bible tenches that it is wrong lo ' vex a stranger or oppress him.' It declares, moreover, that 'ye shall not afflict any witluw or futherless child. If thou afflict them in uny wise, and they cry nt all unto me, I will surely hear their cry, and my wrath shull wax hot.' ' Thou shalt uot deliver unto his master the servant which is es caped from his muster unto thee; thou shult not oppress him. Neither oppress the afflicted.' Let me n;k, uro uot fum lies that are srpuratcd by violence, afflict ed? Is it not oppression to niuko mere machines cf men and women, and to exact their services for our oivu benefit without adequate compensation? ' Woo to them thut decree unrighteous decrees, and thut write grievousness which thry have pre scribed; to turn aside the needy from judg ment, aud to take uwny the right from the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, and that they may rob the futherless.' ' Woo to them thut devise iniquity und work evil upon their beds; when the morning is come they practice it, because it is in the power of their hand; nnd they covet fields nnd take them by vio lence, and houses and take them away, as they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage.' ' Woe unto him that buildeth his house by unrighteousness, and his chambers by wrong, that uselh his neighbor's service without wages aud giveth him nought for his work.' (You kuow thut in its Chris tian sense tho word neighbor means any one of the human fumily to whom we have an opportunity of doing good.) 'Is not this the part that I havo chosen? to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens aud to let the oppressed go free, and that yo brake every yoke.' ' He that oppresseth the poor, opposeth his Muker.' (Is not that man poor who cannot claim, in law, even his children?) 4 Thut no man go beyond nnd defraud hi brother iu any mutter, for tho Lord is the avenger of all such.' ' Behold, tho hire of tho laborers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept buck by fraud, crieth; and the cries of them which have reaped are en tered into the ears of the Lord of Subaoth.' To be Continued.) For the Argui, Tlit World Owea me a Living 111 Indeed! How, young man, did the world happen to get in your debt so much? What have you done for it, that you should have your bread and clothing without work? Now, the truth is, the world owes you no such debt, nor the people in it; and if it be true that 'all men are creuted free and equal, with cvrtaiu itiuliennblu rights,' then you have just us good a right to work for your living as other people. . You have not yet paid for hulf tho trouble of your rais ing; and certainly till that is done it is mere assumption to sny that the people of the world owe you? Perhaps you do it on the principle that one good turn deserves another as our lzy Indians do that as the world has fed you, clothed you, sent yon to school, up to the present time, it now should continue your support. But, sonud as the logic is, you ought to be ashomcd any young man or young woman ought to blush to make any such dt dura tion of idleness. Work mentally and physically for health and happiness. Do your part in the world. Tuko hold, if it is a little hnrd at first. Cultivate a principle above being dependent npon others. Sop pose the workers all die, what then would you poor creature do? Bot yoj insist that yon have worked enongh. You helped your futher a conple m years! Perhaps joq have eaten enongh? Yoo drank your liquor, smoked yourcigur, chewed yonr tobacco, yesterday: will yoo arp'T Jour lo-'ic to even these bad habits, .young man, every oay aemauua You mny dure takm excess of food yes terday, but to morrow requires its supply. So the body and the mind require their every day exercise to promote heulth and comfort. The Idea of laboring excessively hile young to justify idleness in age, is a great inixtuke. Those who quit work hav ing means to live upon, are surprised to find thrmsi Ives ' like fish out nf water.' The luw of l.fo is work. Excess of la bor or leisure is accursed. Tho more equal ly balanced physical and mental labor are, tho better. Few can at best observe the exact tine of temperance in this innttcr; but all should know tho law, and no young man should be so Impudently saucy (nor any young woman either) as to say ' The world owes me a living,' without work, when ho hus not half puid fur tho cost of his raising. X. MAKlTaCTlKES ON TIIK PACIFIC The San Francisco Mirror sny: We trust that tho success which hus hitherto attended the manufacture of woollen bla'iketings on the Pacific coast has, by this time convinced tho doubters thut there is ample field for all such enterprises here. Nothing but the exorbitant rates of interest commanded by money prevent the immediate establish ment of a hundred factories in the different branches of industry, and in no channel could there bo found a safer investment in tho manufacture of goods to supply the the demands of our rather extravagant zations dispute the long-continued Demo pnpulation. Even Oregon, tho last admit- emtio ascendancy, und as for Missouri, ted aud most remote of al! the States, has a 8l0 jB on UT way iuto tho Republican woollen factory, the samples from which, exhibited nt the Into Stute Fair, were said to bo eqnul to anything of foreign work manship, Speaking of Oregon, tho Mirror snys: Residents in California arc not accustomed to properly estimate the wonderful progres sion of Oregon in agricultural improve tnents. Between Salem nnd Corvullis the road is through a vast region of highly cultivated farms. Cornfields, pastures, stubble-fields which had just yielded a muni ficent harvest, well filled and spacious barns, stacks of liny nnd grain, and busy threshing machines nro seen nil along the way. From Corvullis to Brownsville a a similar landscapo is observed, except that farms nro more inconvenienced by u scurcity of streams; from Brownsville to Albany the country is a vast plain, nicely fenced, and ornamented with fine farm houses, with additions of large barns, wind mills and every upplianco of ogrietilture. The restless spirit of improvement charact erizing our own State is rapidly moving up coast to tho verge of American territory; and even our lethurgic British neighbors, stimulated by active example, nro emulous in national enterprise, and are becoming rcstivo under the retarding influence of Colonial Government. Incendiary Talk of the lion. F.tneron EtnevUge la Tennessee. The following is a sketch of a speech of the Htm. Emerson Etheridge, delivered the other day in Tennessee: Mr. Etheridge said, in general review of shivery throughout the world, that it hud been swept from Asia und Europe, und now found u loculily only iu tho cot ton mid tobacco States of the American continent; that Jesus Christ preached to slaveholders there, nnd they had given up their slaves; and wherever slavery hud been abolished, it hud been on account of the popular voice against it. . He said that the South hud always got her rights. She had always got what she asked for, and mora Inn. lie rend the Black Re publican platform, section by section, and asked the people if there was anything iu it to r.ff'lid the South, or cause her to re sist the inauguration of Lincoln. He said flp-re was not. And, so fur as his election would uff.ct the South, it would be the same us if Bell was elected. In either event there would be an tra of general provjierily; jiroperty would rinr; the treas ury would bn filled, anil the price of nnjrott would go up. Among other things, he sai l thnt Lincoln hud never snid anything harder against slavery than Thnn;a .! ffer- son, aud he quoted from Thomas JeflVrsou and others to show tho noma light in which they regarded slavery. t&" " One great feature of Lexington, Kj.,' writes a correspondent, ' is the beauty of its ladies. Being exempt from nil honre hold drudgery, they ore at liberty to cul tivate all those graces which adorn society and charm mankind. Some of the young est buds, just bursting into womanhood, fly through the cily, in vehicle or on horse back, like so many angels just dropped from the clouds to take a taste of mortal pleasure. The ladies of Lexington arc charming, there is no mistake about that; and they are regarded with chivalrous admiration by the men." Ail IxTERFsmo Fact.

The Albany Evening Journal says: The nomocracy are hopeless of a single State at the North. This they could endure, where it not thut they are also losing grouud in their niicicnt stronghold, llie South. They carried North Carolina, to be sure, but it was such a reduced majority as leads them to fear it wus for tho last time. In Kentucky they liuvn been beaten out and out by a majority of over twenty thousand. In Arkansas, where they havo been so strong that nobody here supposed it coulJ be anything but a contest between the followers of Douglas and of Brctkin ridge, It turns out that an Independent candidate has bsutcn both! The Kichinoud Enquirer (their principal organ) declared prior to the Virginia State Convention, thut unless they united, the State would go for Bell, Thry did not unite. The consequence slurcs them iu tho face. As for Deluwuro, Maryland and Teu nesssce, the sagacious gave them up long ago, as not reliable for Democracy. Wero there any ihunte of its success iu those Stutes, the Itepublican ticket would poll tens of thousands of votes there. As il is, Bell will run the divided Democracy hard Even on the Gulf, iu Alabama, Mis- Uissippi und Louisiana, Opposition organ! ranks as fast as could retisouubly Lo tx peeled. In fact, the old Democratic party against which we have been so long but tling, bus ceused to exist as a Nuliouul organization.

Tho merchant reached his bunk-book drew a check on tho good old honest Chemical for the umouiit, and handed it to his visitor. ' Vut is (lis, monsieur?'

Vacls About the Ceusiu. Tho Eastern papers nro engaged in peculating oa the probable results of the census. Jt Is shown that in tho Iew Eng land States tho population is either station ary in point of uumbsrs or has decreased. Tho Western States have incrcuscd im mensely. It is a curious fuct Unit the United States set tho example to England for tho enumeration of tho inhabitants by the Gov ernment. Tho first census wus tiiken in 1700, aud not until 1801 did Enuluod mako un official count of her people, Thu census is immensely expensive, That of 1850 cost $1,302,500, cxclusivo of print- lug, or about six cents for overy head enumerated. The schedule comprised nearly a thousand volumes. The number of ussistont marshals was 3231, and the number of sheets of blanks consumed wus 1,410,000. According to the Hebrew chronicles, the origin of census taking is to be found the following passage! "And Sutim stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel." Not a very respectable parentage, says thu Philadel phia Inquirer. The Washington correspondent of tho Baltimore Sun spcculutes as follows on tho increase of slaves: " No result of the census is of more in terest, in some points of view, than that of the enumeration of tho slaves, and the us- certiiinrnent of the rato of increase for l!iu Inst ten years. Heretofore their increment wns thirty per cent, iu every decade. It Will not be less for the last ten yours, and there ore reasons why it should be greater. The slaves ore inoro profitable to their owners than formerly, and are, therefore, better taken care of. They are better fed, housed and clothed, as a class, than they were thirty or forty years ago. They hn vo thus profited by (he culture, of cotton as well as their owners. Then, ajain, it h.is been the policy of the slaveholding Stutes, for the lust ten years, to discourage eman cipation. It will not be snrpriing if the rate of increment since 1850 should be found to be at least one-third or thirty three and a third per cent. Instead of thirty, as heretofore. At this rate it will not re, quire many decades to brinj op thtir num bers to sixty millions.'' PS" It is stated that Mm. Harney, wife of Grn.
