Ed. of ArgusDti Bit : I hnve ome
'new worth relating, and batten to Improve
the opportunity of tending it. An expret
just reached here from Col. W right' en
campment on Ibe Nidiei. Wright Imi
' constructed rude fort ami ii now building
bridge acrota the Nachez river, in order
to cet at the Indium who are encamped on
the north tide. Col. Wright in said to have
proffered to treat with Knmaiiikin if he
would deliver 'up all the property hitherto
atolcn from the wltitet, and the murderer
of Bolon and other white men. Kamaiukin
peremptorily refuied to enter into negotia
tion! except with a concession on our part,
that, the vjhole country cast of the Cascade
into be Immediately evacuated by the
"Bostont.H Wright of course under hia
prctent inttructiont from hi government,
refuted to accept thin a a"ba8i" ofpoace.
Kamaiakin ay that Lookingglnw, the
bend of tho Ncz Perec tribe, .ha, up to
thi dale, encouraged him to continue hos
tilitie with the assurance of hi aympathy,
nd of hit aniRtance if absolutely neconary.
Thi U to be looked upon as extremely
doubtful, but at all event Kamaiukin ha
gone at a tpeuial envoy, to the dominion
of LooklngglaM, to ice whether he iutendt to
renounce hi neutrality aud becorntf a faith
ful ally according to the provisions of the
original protocol, now nid to be filed away
in Pandozy 'i breeches pocket, for uifo keep
ing. Kamaiukin ay that if the assurance
lie ha received from the Spokans and Nez
Perce dignitaries are such a ought to come
from the head of the departments of such
powers, bo lall forthwith notify Wright
of a close of the armistice now existing, and
proceed to drive all the "Bostons" from the
principalities east of the Cascades, lie
ays, for hia part, he would as soon fight
.them as to pilch into so many women, and
if Lookincgtass will just say the wool, the
word shall fly. Ho also affirms, that Look
ingglass had agreed to capture Gov. Stevens,
on his return through his dominions, but
owing tn the presence of Col. Kelly's com
mand, the tumtttm of tho great Thief be
came slightly quash, and thinking, like
other great heroes, that "discretion was the
bettor part of valor," ho dissembled friend
ship fur Stevens.
This is all to be set down as donas.
The miners are here from Colville, (some
of them,) and bring a '-right smart" of gold
lnst. They are after supplies, and report
that as high as $30 per day were dug out
by some of the excavator last winter.
In great haste yours, Cumtux. '

Mr. Argiis Dear Sib: As the white
washing resolution endorsing the Stakf
man, whick was passed by the democratic
convention in Polk, may wrongfully give
the people an idea it at our people are a
very low class, of Pits and Poseijxtcs, I
thought I would state the truth about this
movement, so m lo r era ore misapprehen
sion. WJjea the convention was called,
Waymieeand fieise both wattled to go

The people in this county, are at length

Ahe people or

Bald Knod, Poi.b Co., May 27.
Friend Adams As 1 believe your paper
U open to all articles in defense of justice,
J have concluded to call your attention to
n fact tu reference to the injustice of part
of an act passed by the Legislature last
winter.
The wrong is found in a section of the
act proviawg wr ine payment oi ma er
.vice of tbe Volunteer. It provides for
tho payment of two dollar per day to each
volunteer, and the same for hit horse. But
in case his borse should die or be lost, he
can only claim the appraisement value of
the horse that ii, the volunteer must lose
ervicesof the horse up to the time of its
death or loss.
In order to show the. injustice of this, I
will suppose a case,, in which A hires a
horse of B, but A not being able to return
the horse, it compelled not only to pay the
price of the hone but the hire also. - It is
evident that the wages of the horse are
justly due before he die; that being tbe
case, bow, I ihould like to know, can thi
just debt be canceled by the death of tho
horse, an accident over which the volunteer
Lad no control !
Thi is certainly a case of the most man
ifest injustice. It will defraud the volun.
tcersoutof some thirty thousand dollars.
I have mad these suggestions, hoping that
nomebody will look into the matter and tee
that our next Legislature makes some rep
aration for the wrong done by the last.
. . Respectfully your, JdsticB.

Salem, O. T.
Fritnd Adams n looking over this new
paper I wat particularly taken with its
platform upon which with your permission
1 wilfdrop a few remark.
1st. On it fuce it declares itself to be
devoted to the advocacy of Baptist princi
ples, and that these and these only are
Christian principles, and then tell us that
as there are no grog-shop in Polk comity
he shall give himself no trouble about the
temperance question. Now if I can under
stand this, his boasted Baptist principles
are all narrowed down to Polk, or else out
side of this it is such a wonllen-yarn kind
of stulTthat it can stretch around the rum
suckers, doggery kcepurs, and the temper
ance men, and hind them into an unholy
band of Ikptist brotherhood,
Apuin, he tells us that the slavery ques
tion ia "a political question," and so form
no part of Baptist principles. So-iIifsp
gumulaslio principle cun stretch around
the lordly holder, the bloody driver, the
anti-slavery man, and tho ultra abolitiouUt,
so thai whether standing wiih the foot on
the neck of the oppressed, pleading the
cause of the down trodden, or married to a
niggtr, it is all one with these stretchy
principles'; they can bind tlicm all into
one heterogeneous bundle, harmoniously.
I am inclined to the opinion that we shall
be obliged to have a new Bible, (a new
translation wont do,) before it can be made
to appear to as dull a mind as mine, that
the church that has no butter principle
than these, has any very great claims Id
being the exclusive church of Christ.

FR1AMBLK AND RESOLUTIONS.
Whereas, the old political issues that
formerly divided the people of these United
States into parties for political action, have
either been settled, or fall inlo insignificance
before the great question now presented to
the people by the repeal of whal is common
ly called the Missouri Compromise, whioh
throws open tothe introduction of slavery
in all the Territories of the United States;
and whereas, we wish to present to our
fellow citixens the true ground we occupy
on this question, therefore
Resolved, 1st. That we believe Freedom
to be National and Slavery to be Sectional
2d, ''That Congress has oo power over
slavery in the several state ; but that out
side of State jurisdiction, the power of the
Federal Government should be exerted to
secure Life, Libertg, and Happiness to all
men ; and therefore that there should be
neither !avery nor involuntary servitude,
except for the punishment or crime, in any
...,;Lr. nf tl United State."
3J -That the jop!e are the rightful
source of all political power5 nd offif
at far a practicable, hould be cbosea by a
a: ntn nf the neonle."
lit. "That candidate for political offices
! sbeuld be men of undoubted integrity and
sobriety ; and plodged lo the support of
the principle contained in Hies resolution,
by ill lawful and constitutional moans."
The report wat taken up, each reten
tion separately, and unanimously adopted.
