The Clnckamns volunteers have all re
turned. We learn from Col, Kelly that
the Linn county company will remain to
guard the pannes leading into the W ilium
4tte valley from the east vide of the Cascade
mountains. The reinforccmont unt for by
Col.' Wright left the Dalles lat Saturday,
and would reach the Colonel on Wednes

Nachcz rivor opposite to Col. Wright,
about 1000 stronjr.
tW Dr. Itelknap, of Multnomah nolo-
riely, is tlio Nebraska candidate for joint
Counoitmou from Multnoiuuli, Wakhingtun
and Columbia. Joint Ucp. for Watliing-
ton and Multnomah, Wesley Mulkey.
We thought'Mulkey hud too much sonse
to endorse tho Nebraska Bill, llo and
Watennnu both admitted to ua hist tpring
that they had. boen deceived in it, and
thought It to bo a great humbug.
Tho oppobiliou have nominated Col. Cor
nolius for Councilman, and T. J. Dryer for
Ropiesentutivo. They will have an in
teresting tiiuo of it during th canvas.
The "gentleman from Linn" is said to
have taken unwell when he heard of the
nomination.
. 03" A correspondent in tho St. Louis
Republican informs us that several com
panies of emigrants to California were to
leave Westpoit, Mo., on the lOih of May,
by the ovoihmd route,
03" Nothing more has transpired bo
tween Great Ilrituin and our Government
indicating the terms upon whirh the dilll
cuhies between the to govornments nr
to be settled. Mr. Dallas, upon hit nrri
- val at London, was petted by the ollicial
dignitaries, and treated with such marked
attention as clearly to indicate a determi.
nation of their government to remain on
friendly terms with u if possible. All
hopes of a war are nearly abandoned by
those who havo heretofore prayed for it.
JT One of the Nebraska candidates
scuds us word that ' ho don't see that we
hit their platform so dreadful hard after all."
Well, we hall plead in justification the
same excuse that tho man did to bis wife,
when, as he was engaged in trj ing to quiet
a crying child of some six w,.ck old, hhe
vociferated, "spank it 1. spank it! why
don't you spank it!" Ho calmly replied,
"because I can't find anything big enough
to spank."
Locofoco, polygamy platforms are al
most too small stLir lo allow of being
"spauked" much.

Tin Slatctman, in publishing the ollicial
return, ay that the majority against
Convention was only 49. Tho Standard
thinks th "mistuke" in giving Multnomah
in, 105 against Convention instead of 305,
mutt have been made by the Auditor or
Secretary.
Tho vole in Clackamas county is pub-
tithed a two less against Convention than
the Auditor gave to us after tho returns
were all in. We presume that these "mis
takes" were made in the Stateiman office
in their crcat hurry, just ns a great many
other mistakr are made there, all innoetnt
and unintentional onei, of count. We
wonder that enough of them were not
made to have curried tho Convention by
some lltree or four vote.
We .are glad to see that the people of
this Territory aro beginning to wake up to
a sense of their degradation and abject sla
very under the miserable dynasty which
rules over (hem, and kicks and cutis them
around a "political pizarinclum excre
ment." If this clique continues in powor,
we predict that a State government wilt be
voted for again next spring, and it will be

it cannot possibly bo worse.

For tht ArguK
Tha Oregnn Auxiliary Tract Society
held its eighth annual meeting at Salem,
May 15th, 1830.
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. Chamberlain briefly showed
tho value of these publications as a means
of "curio" modern Infideliiv. FW n
Dickinson exhibited the amazing influence
of the Newspaper Press, and remarked that
the papers of tho Am. Tract Society had
probably more than a million readers every
month.
The following officers were elected for
the ensuing year :
President Rev. Harvey Clarkr.
Secretary and Depositary Rex. G. H.
Atkinsnn.
Treasurer Thomas Pope, Eq.
Directors P. H. Hatch, M. K. Perrin,
R. II. Droughton, Rev'ds. J. D. Fost, C

.n s'-nt to answer more com uou-iy
of which you had no knowledge. But did
n,.t il.n l'rn dent see llial I oouiu not u-
Apprised of these secret proceedings,
.1.... . ..! nnpn tt'fll C'ivrn 11)0 fur (ll fc-
and
nso f
Docs ho not see tho picture it exhibit, of
s set of men, (claiming to belong to the na-
tioiial Democrat party, out navn, ,,v
connection with it) who denounce the dark
lantern party for i's secret, midnight pro-
scriptious, tnell pnicwce mo '" h
themselves against Gen. I'uluier, Super
intendent or Indian allairs; l.ol. Aiery,
Po-lnl agent, and myself besides other of
ficials, who I am told were under difcus-
ion In their caucus! 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 the three dorks, they say I
b'oujiht with me, nnd call whigsand know
nothing. Busey was neither whig nor
know nothing w hen he came ont in 193,
(ihu know nothing had no existence then in
Washington,) and I discharged him in 54;
Mr. Thompson, nn accomplished draughts
man, is a democrat whom know as such
in New York, but ho did not fraternize willi
the "Salem clique." lie did not come oul
with me, but was an immigrant to Califor
nia in '49, nnd came here in '51. 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,
