The report of tho Secretary evinced nn increased interest in tho cnuse, and a more systematic plan for fulfilling the purpose of tho Society. The Depositary has found it difficult to supply the demand for books nnd tracts. Tho Agent for tho Messcnyer and Child'1 Paper, R. H. BnovdiTON, of Oregon City, is filling orders every week for these publications, besides furnishing packages fir freo distribution. The Treasurer reported a sound and safe condition of our finances. Among the resolutions passcJ was the j following Resolved, That I lie interests of tho Am erican Tract Society in Oregon and Wash ington Territories demand ihe labors of an Agent specially devoted to this work, and that we recommend tha Parent Society to provide one. Business being closed, tho evening was dovotrd to addresses. The absence of tho colporteur', from sickness, was much ro grettod. His reports, so full of incident, illustrating tho nsluro nnd importanco of Ins w'ork, are relied upon to give special in terest lo the anniversary. brief account was however given, showing that his first visit prepares fir a second, thus increasing the demand for his labors. Many families welcome him as a personal friend. More than 700,000 pages have been distributed during the year, and more than 600 fami lies visited. The Society hnpa to put at least 1,000,000 pagea into the hands of readers during the year to come. Rov. P. B.

And we, members of the Democratic parly, and appointees ol tho President hiinselt, not aiioweu a ue fense t Gen. Palmer, who was attneked in the public sessions of tho Legislature, wan refused, on his application, a hearing: my enso was entirety secret. It may be suggested, that the caucuses being held in the same town, I might have enquired and investigated. My answer is, tli.it I l.acl nreviouslv oitcred my rcigna lion, of which Gen, Lane was fully apprised by me, at bin departure in September lust iliai I tiwnrd of memorials being sent on, but wu aware ol no charges j and thero was never the slightest ntlusion lo my or fice in ihu tiublio sessions. I had heard of t-o prev ious petitions, for my place, of which I took no notice oe cause I was not apprised of their contents and they were harmless, as I trust this is, in Washington. If 1 hud been allowed the privilege of a defense against these charge, 1 could have shown, what I will cive a siiminarr of, for tho satisfaction of those who are dear to me. Of the first stain men!, that I declined to rill tip the 'notifi cation' of lund claimants to myself: I did not conceive it lo bo my duty under the law: and certaintv that I was not author ized to employ the clerks of tho office for that purpose without instructions from the commissioner of tho General Land Office, particularly as the former commissioner had authorized my predecessor, Mr. Preston himself, to perform that service nnd charge the settlers fees therefor which I declined to do. I could have shown 1st. That the charge of my br ing "ty ran nical, arbitrary and petulant" towards cti zens who have land claims is a bold false hood by tho general voice of the Terri tory. 2d. That I am "nearly' eighty years of ego, is known to all your city to be tnlsc. 3d. As to tho examination of field notes being delayed : no Surveyor has ever made a complaint but Ano, ( Murphy) whose notes when returned were incomplete, and wnoin I was obliged to send back into tho field to finish his neglected sub division surveys in parts of tlireo township as could ue seen by the maps in the General Land Of fice. 4th.

Of Jono. (ihe messenger) who was always a demo crat, the same remark applies. 5th. Of Mr. Belden, whom they calt nn "avowed whig and knownothing," tho mis representation is quito as palpable, lie was an "old line" whig, and refused to join tho knownothings when npplied to. He is l he most accomplished draughtsman and surveyor in this, or any oilier territory, and had great experience in tho office. His services could uot, with any regard for the public interest, bo dispensed with. 6th. Of the last churge, perhaps the boldest falsehood ol nil, tha' is awarding survey coiitri'e.ts to deputies, Ac, "his chief requirement in nualiiicutioil, h9 been nnd now is, thai the applicant dots not belong to the democratic party of Oregon," is, to uso an apt comment, "made out of whole stuff." Tho records of tha General Land Office show the names of all tho principal surveyors, who havo been, ns they are known to be here, democrats to wit: Messrs. Rmler Ives, Gocrgo W. Hyde, Wells Luke, (my former chief' clerk.) Har vey Gordon, now appointed a principal clerk, Lafayette Cartee. (once democratic speaker Daniel Murphy and his son, Col. X. Ford, Maj. A. N. Armstrong, Dr. A. W. Patterson, (a democratic member) besiiles a son of mine, and other democrats. The five first named, I lie same records will show, have h id the heaviest contracts with me. There is one remarkable thine in the net- ling up of this memorial hy tho editor 'of me statesman, to remove ine and ostensibly to appoint Lafayette Grover, who was de voted to Mr. Bush, and a lending member ol the assembly. The Editor made every exertion to gel the nomination by tho cau. cus, of his father-in-law, Mr. Zii'ber, (com mencing at O-rvallis) hut failed, Hp then obtained the use of Grover's name, willi the proposition to send on his declension in favor of Zieber in consideration, through the agency of the caucus, of Grover's being supported for Representative when Oregon became a State, thrn counted upon with certainty. I should suppose, when the President received 'the declension of Mr. Grover. that he would have seen lhrou"h the trick. 1 remain. &c, C. K. GARDNER. John J. Almt, Esq., Lt. Co.ndg. U. S. Navy.
