Cessrttt Oregon ta W'aslstafUa,
We have carefully gathered the follow
ing nowt touching the intertill of Oregon
and Washington Territories from file of
ihe Congressional Clot. All ofthe bil'i
reported below have been under considera
tion by the IIuusc in Ccramit'eo of the
Whole, and there ii a fair prospect of
their being all paeicd at tome dy. The
bill furadinitting Orogon as a State and for
paying oar war debt, will hardly be got
through tbia tension yet the thing Is
baroly possible. A motion was made to
adjourn July 29' b, but It was voted down.
The following hastily arranged items will
suffice for Congressional new la regard to
Oregon.
The I Iouso in Committee of tho Whole
reported in favor of appropriating 8500 to
each of the Territories of Oregon, Minne
sota, Nw Mexico, Utah, Kmitsi, and Ne
braska, for purchasing such atandaid legal
works as may be wauled to complete the
Territorial librsriea. Lane offered an
amendment giving Oregon 82600 toward
replacing her library which was burnt last
winter. The amendment was voted down.
A bill wns also reported appropriating
$ 10,000 for computing a military road from
Tt. Steilaeoom scrota tho Cascade to Ft
Walla- Walla, aUo authorizing the Suereta
ry of War to ascertain and pay the amounts
expended by citizei, of Wellington Ter
ritory in 1453 on as much of the road as
was made from Fl. Steilaeoom to the moun
tains by aaid citizens, and adopt the tame
a part of said military mad ; provide!
the sum docs not exceed (3,000. AUo a
bill appropriating (40,000 for a Territorial
capital at Olynipia, and (30,000 fur a pen
itentiary at Vancouver. Alto a bill ap
propriating $35,000 for a rnad between Ft.
Steilaeoom and Bellingham Day. A bill
was also reported in fiivorof appropriating
(3000 towards paying clerk hire in the
dices of Register and Receiver in Oregon
City, the bills for said clerk hire to be pre
sented to tho Secretary of the Interior with
proper vouchers, verified by oath, iviih ac
companying evidenco that such services
were absolutely necessary for the trmisuc
tinn of publio businese in euid offices.
Also an appropriation for similar services in
the Land Offices in Oregon, should such be
found necessary, the sum of 8(3000, to be
expruded under tho direction of the Sec
retary of the Interior, at such points in
aaid Territory as the publio interest may
rrquiro ; the clerks to be paid by the day,
aud fur such thuu as their services are ac
tually required. Tho Committee of the
Whole also hud undor consideration a bill
authorizing the Secretary uf War to settle
and pay the expends of the warof 1855-0
iu Oregon and Washington Territories,
but came to no conclusion upon it.
Ihe following resolution was passed by
the House :
"ftesolvtd, That Ilia President of Iht t.'iiiled
Stales be requested lo coinniuniciits to this House
any ciirrrssiiideiics or iiil'oriiialiuii which may
have turn rtca.vtd by bun oil llit subject uf Indi
nn lionlilitie in Oregon an i Washington Territories,
nice tlio dst ol lira Inst cominiinicutiva lo the
Horn on that subject."
The saino bill which was parsed by the
House lust Congtcss providing for the ad
mlssiou of Oregon into the Union, was
warmly debated by Jo Lane and Giddings
on one tido and Jones of Tennessee and
others against. Tho principal objections
urged to tho bill were that Oregon had not
a sufficient population, and had never asked
for tho provision. Tho bill wsi finally laid
over In order to take up the Kansas bill.
A bill was also reported by the same com
mittee making an appropriation .f 810,000
for completing the military road from As
toria to Salem. AUo 830,000 for com
pleting tho road from Myrtle Creek to
Camp Stewart, and 30,000 fur completing
the road from Myitis Crock toSuuttNburg,

Mr. Editor -Dear Sia : Will the
Geueral Government assume and pay our
war debts I This is a question of momen
tous interest to the people of this Territo
ry. Generous and liberal in turning out
their property for tho common defense, will
the parent government rccogniza their
claims and grant indemnity, or shall their
loyally be weakened by an unjust refusal f
As fur ourself we must o iufess that we
have an unwavering tontidnce in the jus
tice uf the gu eminent, and had it nut been
for the simnge and anomaloue conduct of
guvernmeiit officials we should never have
had the shadow of aduuhton the auhj-ct.
Planting uuraelves, however, on the justice
of our claiinaand Ihe anieeedrtua of the
government e demand the payment of
these claims as a mailer of right. When
has the guverumeiit refused to recognise
and pay claims of a similar character f
The expenses of the Florida wtr were
wimt-tbiug uear t'iO.OOO.OOO. Did the
1'ieple or hesitate in its paymenll W
answer, no. Tho expenses uf the Cay us
and Kuae rivet warn were all ,Hid by the
g ivcronient. I he history of the guvrra-
meni furnishes cot a single exception to
the rule. Her antecedeote have been ani
fb'm and jt. Wi',1 :k government t!o
late the principle of justice and equali'y
upon which tbesa antecedents have been
founded, and refuse to recognize our claims
now Tb Injustice of such an act would
be too marked and glaring. The people
of this Territory do not ask of the govern,
ment the assertion of a new and doubtful
constitutional power, but simply the exer
cise of a power universally acknowledged,
and sanctioned by usage.
To eccumpliih the ten lament of the Pa
cific coast, to tecure it from the eager grasp
of foreign powers, the government of the
United States olTered large donaiious of
land to Iu cititent. A goodly host of pat
riotie and enterprising citizens, alter endur
ing hardships unknown to the settlement of
other portions of the American Union, have
planted themselves with the insignia of
their country in ita valleys and along iie
Htreama. Have they been planted her by
the aeductiont of the general government,
and shall they not enjoy the tame righte
that have been extended to their fellow-citizens,
under like circumstances, liviug uear
er the center of government I
But it is said by government officials
that the Rogue river war was commenced
by the aggressiona of a few lawless white
men. In substance, and in every particu
lar, the assertion is untrue. But fur argu
ment's sake let ua suppose it lo be true.
It is not preunded that the citizens of
Grave orei k llills, who felt the first terrible
stroke of lavage vengeance, were the ag
gressor!. What then I Because a few
rockiest individuals invaded the rights of
the Indians, must the Territorial govern
ment look en aud see its innocent citizens
butchered, their houses burned, and their
property destroyed f Suppose that a com
pany of American outlaws should invade
the territory of Mexico, aud that Mexico in
a spirit of retaliation should send an army
into our settlements, muidar our citizens,
sack our towns, and spread deaolatiun far
far and wide around. Where la there a
man to bane that he would not sustain our
government in a declaration of war I And
who would duubt the justice of such a
war f
But these wars were not mmenced by
the aggressions of the whiles. The Indi
ana, in every instance, were the aggressor.
These wars grew out of tho treaties enter
ed into by the Indians and the accredited
agents of iiid general government, which
treaties either have or wi.i receive the sanc
tion of said government. Pleased win', tho
gratification of his present wiiuts, and the
profusion of the passing hour, and being by
a law uf his nature reckless of the future,
his fancy being powerfully excited by a
gorgoous array of blankets and trinkets, the
Indian yielded his cordial assent to treaties
whose luture consequences to himself and
his race he either did not or could not un
derstand. But when the enchantment was
over and he awoke to a realizing conscious
ness of his position, he was dissatisfied.
Dissatisfaction produced jealousy ; jealou
sy hatred; and haired aoon found vent in
open hostility. Such is the philosophy of
our Indian wars. Nearly every one of
them is in violation of treaty stipulations.
These treaties are made by the general
government sustained and defended by
it. The general government ever has and
ever ought io pay all the expenses.
Again : It isun acknowledged principle
uf law, and an established principle of jus
tices, that the principal is bound by the
agent in tho legitimate exercise of hit
powers. Not a dollar's worth of property
has been turned over to the government
only by the express command of the ac
credited agents of the government. Not a
soldier has taken the field only in uhedieuee
to the command oftaid agent. To have
di-obeyed would have been to have set at
dt fiance the authority uf the general gov.
ernmont. To obey was to be loyal. If
then the government, through its agents,
commanded U", as loyal citizens, not only
to tuku the field, hut to furnish for its use
certain munitions of war fur the prosecu
tion uf a war commenced by the murderous
aggressions of Indians, in viulatiou of trea
ties solemnly entered into by them and the
government uf th Uuitnd Slates, how can
said government in justice and honor re
fuse to pay the expenses of said war I

Fort Haston, Aug. 2d, l,5fj.
Mr. IT. X. Adams Dbar Sir: Tho
command ol Maj. Laytou have most of
them got in from following and routing the
Indians. He intends to march them to the
Valley, where they art anxious to ground
i heir weapons, and let those who say there
is no war here take charge of afTaire, and
fix them up to their own taste.
I do not aim in thi letter to clear the
volunteers of doing anything wrong, or
make out that they are perfect; far from
it but because there wore "tome few evil
disposed persons among them, all should
not be censured on account of a few.
Should ninety good men be punished b.
cause ten had done wrong I hope not.
If this were th case, aui Gen. John E.
Wool were the reporter, th volunteers
would stand a bad show indeed. Of this
all must be well awar who have read his
leuer to the tnonal Intelligencer. He
would rather grind them under hit hetl

oT as they deserve. For my psri, 1 look
for belter things frOm Congress. 1 have a
belter opinion of Ihe Government than tbal
il will pan ti by slightfj, as though we
wre tindritrrnj. Time will work it all
right, if otticsrs don't. Truth It mighty,
snd will prevail. All will be brought to
admit that the roluottert have done ex
ceedingly well, when they know all th
facts; called out at a season of ihe year the
most inclement, not more than blf dad,
and exposed to the rain and snow for the
want of tents to make them comfortable,
some of whom bare sacrificed their health

From tlx New York Herald
Tbt CamyatgaSy tnploms of a Great Poju
lar IVevolulloa.
The trials and tribulations of the old
party hacks all over the country the fam
i!y jars among thu wrangling dnmocracy
the ias feeble i'C-ks of Know Nothiugism
the lidiculous ureteiisions of wo'jld-he
Presidents and party leaders, and thu tre
mendou popular furore with which the
numoof Fremont is everywhere received,
are acts among the "signs of the limes"
furttellirg an impending revolution in our
political atHiiis, radical, overwhelming and
complete.
Here iu New York the old feud between
the hards and softs, which il was supposed
had been patched up at Cincinnati strong
enough at least to hold like an old pair of
breeches till after the election, has been rip
ped open again at Albany. The hatds
wish to be master, aud the softs stick to
their divine right to rule. Meantime, dis
gusted with the Cincinnati "ipecao pint
form," many of the old Jackson Van Buren
Bourbons have not only thrown it up, but
have gone over with all their worldly goods
aud hopes of salvation to Fremont. Oth
ers will follow insubordination rages iu
the soft division of the democratic camp,
and all tho ellorts in this metropolis of Fer
nando Wood, of the hards, and John Coch
rane, of the softs, to restore the two factions
to their ancient condition of brotherly love
at the "Pewter Mug," will probably be
"love's labor lost." Il is already high lime
to call out Captain Ryndcrs, with Ins bar
moiiizing six pounder, for the purpnvx of
firing signal guns of distress until Gou-rn-or
Wise, of Virginia, shall cme up to the
rescue. If any man can reconcile the Van
Buren faciiull to a full surrender In the i III
placable Dickinson faction, ilia Mr. Wise.
The ex-President at Kinderhook, for certain
Congressional services heretofore rendered
by Mr. Wise, is under everlasting obliga
tions to him, and can deny him nothing.
The case is now urgent, and Mr. Wise
should be sent for without further loss of
time. Perhaps his estimates of ihe aslun
ishingriso in ihe price of niggers wiih the
election uf Mr. Buchanan may exert a whole
some influence among our rebellions soft
shells, who are still ready, however, for any
speculation whereby to lum an honest pen
uy. Something must be done for the New
York democracy or their case will be past
praying for before the expiration of the dog
days.
Next we turn to Missouri, and find a
similar division there in the democratic
camp. Col. Benton, the anti-adoiinistra..
tion ami secession democittic candidate
out there for Governor, has opened the cam
paign with the most caustic pungent and
merciless philippic agaiust Mr. Pierce, his
Cabinet, his administration, hia foreign and
domestic policy, the Cincinnati Convention
and the Cincinnati platform the most ter
rible dissection that the whole concern,
from Washington to Cincinnati, has ever
yrt experienced. Benton goes for Buch
anan, but rtsvet him not a plank to stand
upon, nor a rop to hold by. The danger
i that these demoralizations arnong the
democracy in New York an J Missouri, (to
sy Rothing of the poorly tli-guised symp
toms of this Contested mutiny in ibecamp
elsewhere.) may, unless promptly arrested
ext.nd to other Sutes, snd ulUrli- break ud
the escalations of Sir. Forney, of a smooth
and decisive victory in novemoer.
Among the outside factions of the op.
position there Is likewise good deal sf fuaa
and flummery, very much like ihat of a
fusy old hen over one thicken. Thu the
Fil more Know Nothings are fussing and
floundering about here and there, with
their "American candidates" and "Ameri
csn principles," when they ought to re
member that their Hark lantern, on motion
of Mr. Bone, was pu oi't month ago.
Thus Commodore Stockton, nominated by
a convention for the whole of which there
woulJ be plenty of room in an omuibua, Is
fusting sod cackling, over In Jersey, a If
there were a house on fire, lie calls out
su'Mianiially to Mr. Fillmore "The Union
is in dangor. Do you think you can savs
il IfyuU can, I will step aside if not,
I must keep the field fur ihe Union must
bo saved." Mr. Fillmore substauiiMlly
rioiids "American principles can alone
save the Union 1 am the regular Amri.
can candidate. I s'aild fast, b- cause thu
Union is in danger, and it must be saved."
In one ofthe nullification speeches of the
late Mr. McDuffie, ofSuuih Carolina, he
Mid" When I hear a Northern man cry,
'the Union the Union the glorious Union,'
thinks I hear the biiglo bhit ofthe rob
ber band ; but h-n I hear a Southern man
Cry -ihe Union the Union oh ! the
glorious Union,' tm lhinkt I snuff treason
in the minted gale." McDuffie was a nul
litier ; but still there ia a great deal uf hum
bug in this politician's ry of "the Union
the Union there ia danger to the Union."
All the disappointed old party hacks
Pierce, Douglas. Fillmore, S ockton, and
all the rest, including even Benton among
the number would have ua believe that
the U'tiun is in peril, and that the election
of Fremont, fnmi the sectional platform
which he copies, will result in an explosion
as disastrous to all concerned as the burst
ing of an old burnt out steamboat boiler in
the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. All
gHiiinmn moonshine humbug. Wc have
had one President especially elected to save
the Union, and that was Franklin Pierce.
The American people are not apt to bn tak
en in and done fur the second time with
the aume trick. The Union-saving trick
has been pretty wull ue' d up by Mr. Pierce,
lie seems to have taken particular pains
and pleasure to show us all the mortifying
extent of the deception. To ask tba elec
tion of Mr. Buchanan, on the same plat
form nnil the same policy, is like adding in.
suli to injury, and rubbing it in.
Still, we are met wih iho plea thai this
republican party is purelv s c'ioual iIihi
tliey dare not run an electoral ticket in any
Southern State. Why not f They do i ot
propose to touch tin nati'ution i.f slavery
in any State, nor iu the District of Columbia,
nor the fugitive slave law. What const i
tutional impediment ia there, then, to a
Fremont electoral ticket in every Southern
State in t he Union. There is this difficulty
the Northern republican party dechire
that Kansas shall be admitted in slits Union
as a free State, and that Southern slavery
ahull be excluded from all the other Terri
tories uf ihe Union. To this extent ilii
party ia a sectional party, hut not more so
than the democratic party, whose policy is
the extension of slavery.
Rut there are other causes than slavery,
and oilier sentiments, broader and deeper
than the Kansas question, now al work
among thx Northern masses, us ihey would
be among the Southern masses, in behalf
ofFreninnt. were this war of extermination
between the abolition squatle'S and ihe
Kansas border ruffian out of the way.
Our old fogy Kliticians are behind the
movement", exigencies and impuUes of the
age. New men, new measures, new forma
and retrenchments in a word, a new and
sweeping rufo' inaiiuii ufall the existing
political and party abuses of ihe day are
demanded, and the people are in motion lo
effect it. Mr. Fillmore, just returned from
the echoes of the ''Miserere'' in the church
of Si. Pit r at Komn, anil from the smoke
of Mount Vesuvius, it not expected as yt-i
to see through this thing. But ho is al
ready getting a glimpse of his situation
ami wji comprehend it pretty thoroughly
after a week' lest and study of the news
papers at Buffalo. It was so manifest here
among us, nearly twelve months ago, that
a new, fn sh man was the article for 18 )7,
that wo trotted out George Law upon the
track ; but "Live Oak George," lacking
th back bone for the crisis, broke down at
Philadelphia; and so they have taken him
off, rubbed him down, and trotted him iu
again for a more thorough trainin" for
1800.
1 he ntHf mMf however, for the crisis, ap
pears to have been hit upon by a sort of
popular spontaneous combustion with the
nomination of Fremont. At John Van Bu
ren would tay, in hit graphio ttyle or de
livery, "he runs like the cholera." To the
old stagers this is a mystery. They can
not comprehend iu The old Martinets of
Europe would have it that the "Little Cor
poral" was a poor Captain, because bis sys
tem of fighting whs in violation of all the
ruleaof war. Vet he continued to beat
ihem as they were never beat before. So
with Fremont. He is $ much an enigma
to all our old party Martinets and backioora
committees. Fillmore is incredulous
Siockton is dixgusted, and the "old liners'
arnong th democracy, (excepiinr, perhaps.
"old Buck," quietly smoking his segar at
ttlieatlaod.) look upon this young colt
from the Rocky Mountains with murder
ous suspicion. They are taid to bs con
cocting a lot of affidavits at Washington,
hich will crush him aa effectually at "tb

General Jackson. 1
Considering all these things, and the
popular revolutionary movements of the
last three years, which exhibit thu jmo

our eye to the fact that a comprehensive
revolution has been, continue, and Will

revolution carried out not only to the es
tablishment of a new sot of men in power at
Wa-hington, but extended to the reforma
tion of all those villiunous party corruptions
stealings, thimble-rigging, bullying,
swindling and murdering which have
drieu the people f San Francisco to the
last resort of arms and open war. Kansas
and the slavery issue, we repeat, form bat
part of this Presidential agitation. The
elementary principles of an honest admin
istration of publio affairs ; a general spirit
of revolt against the unblushiug ratcslitict
of parties and party huckster! and niana.
gert. as they now exist ; a general loath
ing of the worn out old party hacks of the
day, and a general desire for something
new, clean, fresh, and uncontaminatcd by

bs heard on this great occasion. Ohio,
the, third Stale in the Union. Ohio, which
has elected that great statesmen and firm
defender of freedom, Salmon P. Chase
(cheers) as hbr chief magistrate. Ohio,
which has a Congressional delegation that
presents a firm anti-Nebraska front. (Loud
cheers.) The appearance of the contest is
favorable to us of the republican party, and
with John C. Fremont (cheers) as our next
President for I fully believe tbst he will
be elected (loud sheers) we shall have
another in the regular apostolic succession
of republican Presidents, lie will be a
worthy successor of Washington, Adams,
J"ff rson. and Monro. (Cheers.) For thia
is not a new party. The first republican
party in this commiiiii y was formed at
in I. pendente Hall, in Philadelphia, in
1770. (L u I cheers.) And if any mats
doubt that our party ia identical in princi
ple with that, I will refer him to our plat
form, w hich is a reiteration of the decla
ration of Independence. Aud i don't think
any man can ls found whuibj cist -that
ilocnm. lit, unless it tm hill) that Tom Ren
ten calls "dirty dog, Pettil, of ludiaiia."
(Laugh'er aud Hpplause.) Yes, fellow
citiz' ns, oiirplaif.trin ia founded upon those
eternal truths upon which 'his government
was established I hat its aim was lo secure
to all the p ojile of the. United Slates life,
I'b rly and thefu soit of happiness. Ther
epiiblicun plait' urn is fouutlud upon the
roek of truth, and il cannot bu gainsaid.
(Cheers.) Now, look at i hat other d'cu
ineut mad. up al Cincinnati. It applauds
squatter sovereigHi v. Now, what is squat
lersoveieignty in Kansas? Why it means
simply that tho squatters shall live in Kan
aa's, and the sovereigns shall come over
fiom Missouri. (Applause and laughter)
It is the doctrine thut ihe majority shall en
slave the minority, and the minority shall
have no rights at all. If a majority of this
meeting should re-olve lo enslave the mi
nority, would the minority submit t We
might as well be ihe slaves of ihe Czar of
Russia as to be under the whip of this bor
der ruffian id mocracy. Their platform is
a miserable cheat and a sham. The issue
ia a clear on', between the friends of free
dom on one side and the border ruffian de
mocracy on the other. Our platform is
founded upon and reiterates the principles
of the, Declaration of Independence; snd
we have a candidate of whom we are proud.
(Cheers.) They ask ua what Fremont
has ever done I will tell you what he has
not done. Ho has never signed the Ot.
tend circular. Ho never, as Secretary of
Stiit", gave up a large portion of Oregon to
the U i ish. But he has twice added a
Siae to the Uniou. ( Loud cheers.) Once
by cuiqiiering it from a fo (cheers) and
by freeing it from t tie errasp of the slave
oligarchs. (Loud cheers.) He hat made
long marches through the Western part of
our country, where the star of empire now
lakes its way. (Cheers.) lie has made
known to us the vast resources of that por
tion uf the republic. (Applause.) These
are the men we wa:it. The gentleman whd
hat just addressed yon (Mr. Emmet) said
it was a myeirry to him how Mr. Fremont
enme to b nominated at Philadelphia. Il
is no mystery to me. The people always
know their man. They know him, a Fat
staff did the true prince, by instinct.
(Laughter and applause) They knew Fr
moot by bis sots, by his achievements, and
that is all they want to know. (Cheera.)
The opposition may ask who John C. Fre
mom is. So the British asked who George
Washington was." (Applause.) The Brits
ish found out who he was, and so will the
border ruffian democracy find ont who Fre
mont is. The speaker then referred to the
democracy, who, ho taid, had rejected all
their old principles, one by one, s the
housewife takea away the eggs of a goose,
leaving her a stone to ait p So its
with the democracy. They have gradually
taken every principle away and put thia
Nebraska stone in the aest. (Load sp
