Mr. Mcluan, you dtmj my auiti'inent while I muat
ins'at upon ila correctness. You deny the report of
tho Joui ual iu iaiiiueli at it aiiyahat you voted fur
thu Liecuae Law, while you auy that you did net
ao vote. Ou page lOiltli of the "Journal of tho
Council" for '51, we re id
'.Mr. Hall, on leave, iulrojiioed a bill (C. li. N'o.
35.) aupplemeubiry to "An Aet to regulate groce
ry license," which waa read the lirat time, rule sua
pended, ami read the aecuud time. I
".Mr. McKcan moved to oine.nl, by etrikinif out
the wid "gallon," un.l iuterting the word "quart,"
which waa determined in the negalivo.
"On motion by Mr. MeKcun, the (aid bill wna
referred to a ectot committee. I
".Meaar. MuKean and Hall were appointed aaid
committee."
And on page llOlb of tliia Journal, touching thia
'bill," we read I
" Mr. McKean, aa chairman of the com.
mitlce to whom had been referred (C. li. No.
35.) 'A bill aupplemeiitary to an act to regulate
grocery liccrue,' r. ported the aaine with amend
menta. ,
The report waa accep'ed.
Mr. 1'arker moved that tho report lie adopted ;
ond the yeaa mid naya being demanded tliereon,
Those who voled yea, are Mourn. Humphrey,
McKkan, M.ller, 1'arker, imd Waymire 5.'1
Hure, in "black and white" the "Journal" auya
that you did rote for the law, whilo you, in your
Aaura' litter, in the nine poaitive mode, asaert
that you did not! You may explain this ceutra
diction aa best you can.
The puMic will bj no little surprised to perceive
that you have discovered yourself a layman Ito
nuiiim; while the primla of your adopted church will
rejoice exceedingly to fiud so atuunch, able, and
voluntary ou advocate of one of the leading fea
tures of Humanism ! If, air, there be truth iu your
language if your statements uro reliable, then ai o
you an advocate of this "Bull of Indulgence."
l'roof : You auy, "I viewed a license law in tho
tome ILdit that I looked unoa a Hull of tlin Pons."
- ,
and simultaneously Willi so viewing it, you did,
while an lion. (?) member of the Oregon Council.
Feb. 5, '51, "move to r.incnl a bill supplementary
to 'An Act to regulate grocery license,' by strik
ing out the word 'gallon,' and inserting the word
'uuurt.' " Failing in this you then moved that the
'b II bn referred to a select cunmiltoe;" w hieh car
ried, and reaullod in the appointment thereupon of
yourself, and one Mr. Ilull. On the a. u. of the
6:h of Feb., it beinj the next day, wo find you, ua
Chairman of aaid commitU e, reporting in favor of
this licence bill, (C. 11. Xo 35.) which report was
acocpted, and afterwards adopted, you voting in
the affirmative.
The Journal says you did vote f ;r this license
law, aud you say you did not so vote j that you
"nerer f:a! it." Who, think you, will be believed,
y.m or the Journal 1 And, viewing the Hull in
the same light, you would, under similar or appro
priate circuiiu.iai.cea, i. c, were you a member (as
jou may yet be) of the Papal Council, have) voled
fur it. Of course you would! No priest could
wish a more zeahius nnd faithful !a man 1 1 io you

the "Immaculate Virg n jMaiy '' l'ojoucon

say "Muss at the Cpnlesjional?'' Are you, by de-
nyufg iuu uuiii, prtKiMing tae virtue or in s nun
of Indulgence ? Are you iudeed indulged in ly-
, ing 1 I know that iu u bo-ik entitle 1 "The. Tax ol
the Apostolic, Chunccry," a layman ia taught Ihn:
lie can buy aa indulgeno to icrr fahehj for the
sm .ll sum of nine shillings 1 and I presume that
io deny tinall truths, is still less expensive. I hope
-frieud Mo., that you a: e not in debt fur your pres
ent ludulgi nee, lest you should foiiuet to pay, and
thereby lose your soul in purgatory 1
Ah, friend Mo., I fear that you have swamped
yourself ! Is it possible that spirituous drinks have
completely destroyed your recollect ion f It ispos-
that you have used the last drop that you will ever
use of this accursed "rot gut" Cundidly, air, did
yoafurget that you voted in Council for this Li
cense Law ? If not. I am comnelled to rcmrd vou
as having too little respect for the truth to tell it !
Are you athamed of your past acts, that you should
denytlicmr Or are you so destitute of a love ol ;
virtue that you are unwilling to bo known as itc i

tailer of intoxicating liquors, and that you younei

Ou h,t Saturday tho .St. am.T now called
tlio "Sarnli Iloyt," was lauuvliud over thu
falls iust nljuva this cil v. Tim ni,...l... r,r
" V- J w. (
the night drew out a larjfti concourso nf J
Oregon' "beauliful women and brave mrn."
U'o noticed that Portland wmt admirably
represented for beauty, and iierhupi for
chivalry, but. at to that wo didu't notice
much.
W uo t to be the Master or the Ulack beat
This is the great question amonr the
cslcrn rowers, and tho London News
animated by thfi success of tho ullicw in the
Ska of Aiofl", sketches out a magnificent
project for freeing the Cuxinc from Russiuti
domination, nnd for creeling a perpetual
barrier ajainst her march upon Turkey and
IVriu. The Now York Time says of thi
proposition :
This project consists iu the re-orcction of
a chum of nationalities ulong the northern
ilmre of the (Slack Sea, which shall rest at
west on Hungary, and at tho cast on the
Caspian Sea, mid forever perpetuate the
sentiment of liberty, aud of hatred of Mus
covy, atid prove a species of Chinese wall to
the kingdoms and tho woiers lying to the
south of thi.'iii.
However plcasin? Io the prido aud mari
time supremacy of England such a consum
mation of tho present strife would bo, tlio
calm and dispassionate student of history
and of geography must r paid it as altogeth
er vUiomiiy and impracticable.
In the first pluce, to give such a confed
racy coherency and t-tn-ngth, there would
require to bi some buml of union, some
i allying point, iu the tdinpe of a supreme
chief or central government; and from the
dilicrctice of. race, and the Nomadic charac
ter of tlicjo people, as well us their iniper
f ct civilization, no such bond cf union can
possibly Lc ceated among litem, except
such as is found at present in tho power of
the Russian Czar. Added to this, such a
confederation of tho Kuxine would lack one
very important clement in the permanency
of a sla'e an accu.a'e aud distinct national
boundary. Knglund ha, hersea-jjiit chores;
France, the Pyrenees, the Alpn nnd the
Rhine ; Italy, the Alps and the Mediterra
nean ; and, indued, all permanent states
have in jrcnenl distinct and not merely
arbitrary boundaries. Hut tho ptojioscd
series of nationalities would be carved out
of a country without any regard to its na
tional character, and upon merely arb'trnry
principles. It would have very little if any
more permanent and rcsistent power than a
line of Indian tribes along the west bank of
tho Mississippi to check thu march of the
Anglo-American to the shores of the IV
ciftc.
No one whi carefully scans the character
of Southern Russia, who observes the south
erly How of llm Vi Il'ii to tiie Caspian Sen,
of tli Den and the Ihieip.-r, and their thou
sand tributaries, to the Euxiue, and then
considers tlio hardy Muscovite raco which
has its origin ani"HL' tho cold regions which
contain thi'ir foiiulain-licHils, can resist the
conclusion that to throw back Russia into
the regions of the No.th is us hopeless an
tin. lei taking as to diini up the waters of
tluno magniliceiit rites upon wlu.se bosom
they have been boine southwardly. A
more g -ninl clime at tho South mighty
rivers (low ing at their feet to bear th. ni to
it Northern endurance and valor, and
Southern effeminacy and relaxation, do
not these facts point ns clearly as the sun in
the heavens, to a Muscovite empire iu tho
basin of the Euxine ?
The combined armies of Europe cannot
permanently prevent this result, unless they
begin by razing St. lVtersbui u' and Moscow,
and extirpating the Muscovite race. The
natural tendency of mile nnr'bcrn nations
has ever beeu to flow with their rivers to
the southward, and what the Roman empire
was inadequate to resist, it U vain to ima
gine can be accomplished by a chain of
6L.mi.cjviiZ(;(i tribes, which, having once
jeen guXjccied, sball rise to impose limits to
proud march of their master.
The erusado of Ellnnd which ended in
tho overthrow of the riisi Napoleon, left her
statrKering beneath a national debt woicu
must, despito temporary success, fail in tho
end, and add a w eight to tho debt bIio now
bears beneath which the British empire
may crumble to pieces.
