There is, we notice, much tulk among folitlciani about the matter not coming as -party question." By thin we understand that they mean to say that the pooplo are left free to voto just an thoy think best, that! .u for the highest good of the Territory 1 lis Idea it Iko carried, that if it was a "party question," the people must obey the orders of the wire-workers of tho "parlies," and vote lh party ticket right or wrong ; thus not only sacrificing their personal lib- ("fty, but the pecuniary prosperity of the whole Territory. Now this is the principle f demagogues, whose intercut It is to keep the party herd together, in order to live off the beef, milk, and wool, of their party cat tle. This doctrine is st anti-republican sua antidemocratic as Romanism, or A us irianlsin. Whenever mesaures are pro- ntod for the approval or rejection of the people, they ought to open their eyes, look at 11 ror tuemselves, and after carefully And impartially weighing the arguments pro and con, It It their privilege and duty as ireeman to vole just as tin y think for the good of thoir country. Let no sot of demagogues deceive you, by ...II! .11. .1 . . ' lulling iuia, uiai, or nnoiiier measure, a Democratic, Whig, or hnuw Nothing mea sure. By this policy, the poople in Oregon hsve unwittingly been led to support men who are fast steering our financial and so cial intorcsls into a whirlpool of bankruptcy and ruin. Our seat of government him been oarted and wheeled from thin pca to lliat placo; tho ilste house fund ha,, under ihs mauagement of the parly, been divided ml among favorites, and gradually fi inored down, till what was lull standing at Sulem to aliow for somo has been oveitaken bv the jmlgmeiiU of Heaven, mid licked up by fire to drive out tho unclean birds who pol luted its walla kit winter. Thn University I'M, under a similar mnnsgoment has bern reduced to a vast extent. After a large quanliiy of material had been accumulated atCorvsllit for the building, tho University was whoeled oflTto Jacksonville, tho matrn hl knocked off undor the hammer for a tri fle, and the people's money may now b looked after In the pockets of a few party loriiei. no renitentiary fund is proba bly leaking out a good deal fs.ter than the walls are going up, and according to the ro ports of the Legislature a yMr ag i,0 vM iban six hundred dollars of the fund tlipptd into the poekets ef ceruin managers, l one tim for whioh the Territory bus noihiiijj lo show. Now all this m nry although appropriated by Congress, Ujut pr. eiou. to us, as though we had earned ii at fard labv, and it oubt to hare been husbamld itb the same economy and cue. It show very plainly, what we may eHt when we art laxed from our hard e.u S'rvile acquicscoace to the dsmoralising, virtue-killing principles, advocated by it, refusing but a (iw days ago, to l t the peo ple vote upon the temperance question, and thrusting the petitions of the people buck in their faces, as requesting things that are at war with the principles of Ore gon democracy, and unauitcd to the brutal appetites of two legged, democratic decan lers. Roods have been laid out in every direction with little else to mark their lo calities than the blazes on the trees, whilo our heavy taxes aro absorbed by other meant, than that of public improvements our road laws, school laws, and probate laws, are botched and bungled in a style admirably adopied to draining the pockets of ihe people and filling those of the petti' Coggers who make their living oTof demo cratic earnings. Tk sdmiaitrstin of the government is rapidly eoverlng tin body politic with a apoded moral sod ial lenraay. Public confidence la beinf lost is our rulers and psrtybm ba at Isat tided with the auvajoa, by Italiint; the Governor dowa upas hi marrow-boiiM before III msis-apriuf of lh lu!

It iscertuinly a matter much to be ro gretted that the bill was stolen from the Council aud its passage defeated, for scv ral reasons. One is that you and "the iren .1 . ... o tieman tioni i,inn" had decreed that it should puss in order to create a new office ond feather a nice little nest for Pat Malone as "superintendent," in order to reward him for his services as your personal page, and for other little party jobs, the "dirt of which enters tho soul," such for instance as try ing to kill oirthe Samlard by iilunintr hia siantirrous steel into the vitals of his wife' character. After the "democratic caucus" of the Legislature had decided to reward hiin for it, in accordance with your instruc tion, it was cruel in the Council to defeat t He measure. Besides, we think that the iaei mat I at fllnlono was superintendent of me I cmtcntinry would have giveu many a (oorttiinsucn auremlortho place that he would have reformed his life rather than to have run the rUk of being placed under Pat's tutorship.

But if a man happens to de dialikad by the Statesman ed itor, he has only to intimate it to his tools. and the unlucky fellow is immediately dreas. e l up in a garb similar to that ancienilv placed upon condemned heretics, and then labeled with "know-nothiuar" and the tool foil in to pelting him with mud and stones prepnraitiry lo taking Ins bead off. Their K. N. petition called upon tho Governor to remove evory man from the service, over whom he had power, who voted against iune ai m last election.

Y s 1.: L a such men at the head, of the miliurr ,U that they will not do it, we vt disposed lo wait snd see whether tbey vilt do it or not. Wbonever toryism becomes to rampant, that under the cover of such a nnmo as dem ocracy, it proposes in time of war to create jealousies and divisions among tho people, by kicking every man out of offico that does not support the party, we think thata crisis ha fully arrived where there is no security for tho stability of our free institutions. We can hardly be expected to fight for tl.io who are worse foes to us than the In dians. If tho heads of the militia depart menta should carry out the instructions of the clique, and remove all men from office who voted against Lane, it could be hardly wondered at if every white man in the army should thouldcr bis gun and return home leaving the tory party and the Indian party to fight it out as a "party war, little care ing which whips. But we are confident that the people of the Territory are not yet sufficiently sunken in depiavity, and bereft of all magnanimity and honorable principle to endorse the action of their Leg islators, whom they sent there to represent their interests, instead of the interests of the renegade who edits tho Statesman. We are consequently led to believe that these heads of the departments will listen to the voice of the people, which is being now so universally expressed in condemn ing the last Legislature with some honor able exceptions, as the weakost, silliest and most servile set of asses, that ever disgraced a civilized government. ess our- o rill S3T The Advocate has at lost complied with our oft-repeated request, and given its rentiers the resolutions of the Conference on Slavery. This was probably done for tho benefit of the General Conference in the States, which is about to assemble, to which Mr. Pearne is n delegate. The lat paper continues the biographies of the saints, by giving a short history of the mem bers of the Assembly. Tho biogrophy of "tho gentleman from Linn" would have been particularly interesting, had it followed bitn through all his political and theological transmutations and tergiversations as a pet tifogger, editor, gambler, theological "gou- ger," envoy under Tyler, contributor to the Boston infidel Investigator, and at last a tool of Bush to carry out the principles of a clique, the most corrupt, anti-republican, and anti-democratic, that has probably ever existed since the disbanding and breaking up of the lories that sympathized with the British and Indians at tho time of tho Rev olution.. We fool very sorry that "bro. Pearne" did not see fit to send us the last issue of bis sheet. It is decidedly a jewel. The post master bad the kindness to let us peep at it through the gratings, and from what we could see of it, we think it has assumed pretty much the policy of President Mahan, of Obcrlin College, where the Advocate says "the gentleman from Linn" got his educa tion. - A farmer with whom we stopped for the night, in the vicinity of Oberlin, in 1844, related to us the following anecdote in rela tion to President Mahan : The President happened into his neighborhood to preach. After the services were over, a wag stepped up to Mahan, and asked him when he in tended to favor them with another sermon. Mahsn replied that he didn't know, but if the peoplo wished, he would pay them an other visit. The wag assured him that he had never heard a man pi-each before who suited him so well, and he should be ex tremely hnppy to hear him again. This ox cited the curiosity of tho Tresident, and thinking the man was probably under con viction, ho prossed him for his reason for li king him so well. "Well, Mr. Mahan," says the wag, ''when you preach, you med dle with neithor religion nor politics, and that's just the sort of preachinir I like to hear." The Advocate, probab' y nt the suees- tinn of MiIia M.nil..K.n c r i , . ,,.v gtunciio.u irom i,inn, nas pretty much quit "meddling with religion or politics. It seems to ba trying to steer be tween acylla and Chary bdis. It may yt find the old proverb true "Incidit in Scyl- mm qm vutt vitare Charibdim." Vnriiunil for noon it iilank road, mi medium of communication would drain largo section of the choicest agricultural country, which produces its tins of thous ands at aumlua srrain annually. It strikes r-- . us that this is truly an important move, and stock taken will yield a fair permanent (Ii ideud, as nothing can successfully compete with the company in prices of transporta tion. If they should g't a Railroad fmm Tortland lo Corvallis next year, it it very doubtful whether it would come in cotnpo tition with this Company, to long as they could always get full loads down from the upper country at double these rales. That Memorial. The "Memorial lostay the Superintend. ent of Indian Affairs," Ac, passed th (louse, and will be sent to Washington as a House memorial, the Council all refusing to adopt it, excepting Hubcr and Fulkor son. Boise, in discussing it, said that the members of the lower houso tvero "fresl from the people," and were "supposed to be tho more perfect reflex of ihe wishes and desires of the sovereign people" than were the members of the Council. We presume that nobody will deny that the great major ity of the last Assembly was as "fresh" n lot of meu as ever went to the Legislature in Oregon. But that they will be sustained by the people in relation to this nieinoriiil wo have many indications is incorrect. Iluber it secnm, although ho was in the Council, was "fresh enough to support th' memorial, after having voted for Bush as Territorial Printer, and signed the potition for removing all officers from the army who voted against Jo Lane. lie is decidedly "fresh" subject, not withstanding "bro. Pearne," in writing the biographies of the saints, snyt that he has "attained to considerable eminence (i) at a lawyer." The vote on the final passage of tho me morial stood as follows : Yeas, Boise, Buck- ngham, Brown of Linn, Uurbank, Callen. der, Cozad, Gates, Grover, Male, Ilarpole, Harris, Harrison, Hutson, Jackson, McAl xandor, Moores, Officer, Risloy, R ibinsoti, Ssnnth of Jackson, Straight, Tichenor, and the gentleman from Linn" 23. Nays, Messrs. Briggs, Johnson, and Brown f Multnomah 3. Absent, or not voting, Barkwell, Grant, Shuck, and Fred Wavmire. Important. Wo notice tho passage of a bill by the late Legislature styled, "An act to incorpo rate the Tualatin River Transportation and Navigation Company." ' This company has boen chartered for the purpose of improving the Tualatin rivor and connecting it with the Willamette by means of a canal, rail or plank road, or oth erwise, as tbey may sec fit. Vroa the South. Latest accounts represent mntters to be in a horrible condition in Rogue River and Umpqua Vallies. The Indians are said to have blockaded the road lending through the Canyon, and thus cut off all means of com munication with Jacksonville. The express said to have, been driven back by a lanro body of Indians, although it was escorted by ten men. The Indians stopped the ex press just beyond the Canyon. Even in Umpqua valley the Indians arc said to have penetrated as far as Cow creek, and are now burning the settlers' bouses and laying waste the country with fire brands and tom-rtbawks. The newly elected Brig. Gen., J. K. Lira enck has mode a call for four new compnn ies. to be raised in Linn, Benton, DoiiL'las. and Linn counties, to supply the places of the companies already m the Southern field, whose term of service is about to expire. hat the southern regiment has been about the past winter is more than wc can divine. There is great complaint made of thoso who have the command, but they may have done the best they could under the circumstances llio Indians nt all events havo had th best of it so far, and if Col. "Bill Martin naa oeionged to any other than that of the Slinm Democracy, every loeofeco nress in Oregon would have been dunounciii" his course in the most unqualified terms. It is positively n disgrace to Oregon, that our southern friends are not relieved, nnd that immediately.

Ths Sentinel's Views at a Traitor, The following from tho Table Rock Sentinel of Jan. 26 showt the estimation in Inch southern democrats, hold the States- wan. Capt. Smith was exactly right in feel ing tnai no "could not help put pntronago and power iuto its hands without involving himself in tho guilt of betraying the coun try." "Wo look upon every man who did "help to do" this thing, as a traitor to hi country, nnd wc believe tho peoplo general ly look upon him in tho same light : The Statesman was nut lo Hi n,m r ii,. x ury when first born, and has been there until if IIBS fOI'eultcn that it ia a mP ,. mn...j und regards itself at a natural member.
