Thank you, Mr. Occidental, for your
" endearor ta crowd tbo question of tin ve
ry into a nutshell." Your argument
heretofore in favor of slavery Lave been
entirely too vaporous for ui to got at them ;
they have seemed to us like a handful of
leaven bid in forty cartloads of bran, and
whon we hare succeeded in sifting them
out we have found them to be little more
than silly atterlionN, such as might with
equal propriety bo made by the mormon
elders whe are anxious that we should have
a constitution toleraliog polygamy. New,
at to ountlf, we invariably low to the
sovereign powtr of argument. We al
ways yield at once to the truth of every
proposition that is fairly proved, whether
mathematical, philosophical, theological or
political ; and we are not so stupid as to
rcquire'demootiratioa piled upon demon
stration. All we ask is, tbat the proof be
homogeneous with the proposition, and
that the argument he simply a unit.
One unanswerable argument it enowjh to
prove any proposition in the universe.
When nn argument is crowded into a nut
shell we expect it to be pointed nnd tquecz
ed into about the best possible shape
Well, Mr. Occidental, you will pardon
us for offering a few reasons why we are
not converted, or even convicted by your
41 nut shell" affair. We hare broken the
shell and found it to be wormy. If hu
man ingenuity can hy the rulot of logio
delect your premise, I hey are substantially
this Wherever labor is worth more than
12, 815, or $18 per nvmili (as in the At
Untie Slates), slavery would be profitable
In Oregon labor is worth from $30 to 945
per month ergo, slavery would be profit
able in Oregon. The rulo would work
both ways, and run backwards, thus-
wherever labor is worth lets than (12,
(15, er 818 per month, slavery ia unprofit
able and ought to be abolished. Now let
us tnke your logic en a sliding scale, and
try it a little along the " Atlantio coast,"
. and see how it work, before we measure
the Pacific! coast by it. We will first be-
. gin with Maine, cold, sterile, and bleak, as
a free Slate, and with Virginia, warm,
rich, and beautiful, as a slavo State, n
State where wo (iho Occidental editor and
ourself ) once lived, a Stale which accord
Jng to Gov. Wise's figuring has moro re.
sources than any other three Slates in the
Union. By examining tho last census ro
turns, we find that the avcrago prico of
malo labor per mouth, is $20,35 (almost
up to Oregon), while that of Virginia is
only $10,15. This shows, to begin with,
that tho figures en tho Occidental'
rulo aro nil wrong, consequently it Is as
useless for our purpose as a half bushel
would be to measure a bolt of domestic.
But wo will use it, howover, ns the Occi
dental has been to the trouble of whittling
it out nnd chalking it nil nrcr with figures,
We can always afford to give a niggeritc
every advantage he claims, and then bent
him so bad in tho argument, that even nn
editor who "knows just how thick n
nigger's skull is," cannot help seeing where
Jho truth lies.
Then, according to iho lrgio of the Oc
cidental, as labor is worth more than 812
or $19 in Maine, slavery ought to go thore,
while it being worth less than 812 or 813
in Virginia, it ought to be abolished. That
is, slavery ought to bo takon out of Vir
ginia, and planted iu Maine swap " do
ntcttio inatitu'ious" we suppose 1 But the
trouble would bo that by transferring slave
ry from Virginia to Mains, wages would
rise in the former to $29,35, while down
they would tumble in Me. to 810,15, thus
waking it necessary to swap back and
forth about as often as tome Yamhill men
change their principles.
Another little item that has probably
escaped the notice of the Occidental
while Maine pays her laborers 820,35 per
month, she manufactures every year ia the
article of cotton alone the value of 92,-
580,330, while Virginia only turns off the
amount of 81,430,364. We presume the
Occidental has no figures chalked on his
niggtr rule tbat would explain why Vir
ginia with labor worth only 810,15 per
month is enabled to manufacture but about
half the cotton Maine does, but is obliged
to ship off her own products to be made
up by laborer who get just about three
time the wages she pays her own opera
tives. Maine Las a capital of 83,329,700
invested in her cotton manufactures alone,
while Virginia has only 81,009,000, er
about one third the capital of Maine.
Xov wilt the Occidental kae to put on
his leather spectacles and examine the
chalk mark on his rule, and tee whether
be can cipher out why it it that cupllalittt
have invented in even cotton manufactories,
three timet the capital in cold, bleak, and
iteril Maine, roinote from the cotton grow,
lug region, where they have to pay three
timet the wage of Virginia, that they
hare in the latter Slate, directly under the
nnte of the cotton planters, and win ro lit
birean be had fnrtl0,13 per mouth I
Will the Occidental also proceed to show
lit readers why it is that while Maino ha
only a while population of 91,313, tho
has in her public school 102,815 pupils,
while Virginia with a whilo population of
894,900 hat only 07,438 pupils in hnr pub.
lie schools f alto why Main? has only !,
3 SO free negroes, while Virginia has I,
3331 and why it it that while Maine hat
an annual circulation of 3,200,024 news
papers, Virginia Las only 2,035,118 f also
why Maine hut only 0,293 person over
20 years of age who cannot read and write,
while Virginia has 88,520 1 Will the Uo
cidcntal also inform us why it in, that the
same marked difference that presents it
self between these two Stairs, in all the el
ements of national prosperity and political
grentness, hold good as n general result of
a comparison of free and slave State sta
tuses I After il has done all this, will it
proceed to lake off its spectacles, wipe
ihein with its coat sleeve, and, after ad-
jutting them upon its nose bottom upwards,
proceed to examine its chalked rule, and
tell us exactly bow many men in Oregon
aro employing laborers for the purpose of
producing grain profitably at even 835
per month I and whether il really ii be
causo labor is so remarkably " profiinblo"
in Oregon that wages are high, instead of
the fact that just now laborers are scarce,
and those who employ laborers are gener
ally engaged in operations more remunera
tive than agriculture t
Alto, let us know just about how much
less ihnn $35 a month a man could afford
to hire his negroes out for, after sending to
the States for them, taking into account
capital invested, tho danger of losing them
on tho way, as also the danger of their
running away after they are here.
ricaso also to tell us just about how
many slaves it would tnko to be worth as
much to an employer, as one good white
laborer at $35 per month. We should al
so like to know how we aro to "get our
money back" by driving out 10,000 free
laborers in the next fire years, for tho pur
pose of introducing one or two hundred
miserable slaves, thus reducing thn price
of lutid more than one half, paralyzing in
dustry, and locking up tho resources of
the country forever.
After the Occidnntnl altends to these
matters, we shall probably give it n fow
more nuts to craok.
OCT" Tho pcoplo of Oregon may quar
rel over sido issuis ns much as they plenp,
and tho Dlnck Republicans may try to dis
guise their designs ns much ns they can,
but the true issue now ia Union or liisun
ion Democracy or Black Republicanism."
Cor. Sentinel. A PACKER.
Tho above sweet littlo blnck-domocratic
morceau, done up in wool, is kept flying
at the mast head of the Jacksonville Sen
tinel. We doubt not it is from the same
pen that wrolo the whining Idler in favor
of slavery wo referred to somo lima ago,
signed " Mary Ann" (the " Mary Ann of
the Mexican war" we presume.) Ho now
comes out under the equally appropriate
litleof "A rncker," (only "A Packer" of
challenges, however.)
OtT In a long article in tho last issuo of
Cznp!;ay'a organ deroted to showing the
calculations oT tho " opposition" upon
splits in the black democratic party, we
find tho following:
" Perhaps tho most jubilant over these
anticipations, and Iho most confident of
llioir realization of all in tho enemy s ranks,
are Avery nnd Adams working in the sumo
harness, and to the same end."
Mr. Avery can speak for himself, but wo
corlainly hare no rery great hopes of the
black democracy falling to pieces unless it
bo by tho influence of common schools.
Of one thing, however, we are quite con
fidentthat when Eternal Justice " draws
a bead" on the lying locofoco editors that
are deceiving tho people, their heads will
fly like the head of a pigeon ut tho crack of
our rifle.
JCJ-The New Orleans Delta of July
1st says that from numerous tellers receiv.
ed from Oregon it is fully satisfied that
Oregon will adopt a slavery constitution.
The following is an extract of one of the
letters from Oregon, Tho letter wo have
no doubt was written by Jo Lane :
"Oregon will be the next slave Stale.
I was in the whole political campaign, and
nothing but slavery seems to be tho go.
Mark my word, her constitution will be
adopted with the slave cause. It is a one
sided question. The inhabitants are nil
Missourians or Kentuckians? and go their
death en the old issues."
The writer of the above might have
added, " And, God bless your soul, these
Missourians, Kentuokians, Ac, are all such
'sound and reliable democrats,' that we
politicians have them in full as good sub
jection you have your plantation niggers
in Louisiana.
Ifr W ara satisfied that crreat injustice
is don the democracy by calling them 'nig
ger drivers.' We propose lo do thera jus
tice hereafter by the more appropriate title
' driven ggert.
Ta, t'.oatcatloB.
In the convention now in soiou nl Sa
lem, there it a majority of black demo-
crate ( henco we are fearful that the tettion
will be ueletsly prolonged In laying down
programmes fur future assaults upon the

right of lazy loafers to ride I but portion of
the working Minuet lliut love to bn rode
nud fleeced by " sound and reliable demo
crats." We nre fully justified in tbit con
clusion by the startling onnouncemeiit iu
tho prologue of the powdered dandy who
officiates as " IJottnm" to tho clique, who,
in stepping upon the stage after making
his bow nnd drawing his coat sleove ncrott
hit note, tays :
"The Constitutional Convention will
meet here next Monday. We suppose il
will be iu session six week or Iwo months."
Now we will guarantee that if the buti
doss of the convention was turned over lo
the Itopublicau minority iu the body, we
should bare an excellent constitution in
about eight days, at a saving of considera
ble cash to the people of tho Territory.
It would bo a good stroke of policy if the
convention would throw 'iho onus of draft
ing a constitution upon tho Republicans,
whilo the black demoorati might retire to
some basement room hung in black, to do
up their caucusing in, and prepare their
party fetters, handcufl'n, lushes, nnd plat
forms, for future operations upon an ex
tended scale. The Juggernaut of eaucut
sovereignly needs overhauling ; some of
tho tires and bands need cutting and set
ting, the taps need lo be tightened, tho ax
les want " bar" grease nnd tho scats need
uew cushions nnd trappings for the ease of
the drivers who are lo ride over the Del-
shazzar-smillen pleheiuns, who, urrder a
State government, prostrate themselves in
the dust at tho sound of the locofoco cor
net, flute, harp, suckbut, psaltery, dulci
iner nnd the hnrp of a thousand strings,
played on by the Standard, Times, Sentinel
Herald, Occidental, nnd Czopkny's organ,
while tho bended plebeians, as they drink
in the swelling strain of instrumental
music nnd catch a glimpse of the " Mary
Ann cf Iho Mexican war," scaled high on
the Jupgcrnnut of caucus sovereignty,
waving the flag of Utah in one hand and
a sham stick thrust through a bunch of
negro wool in tho other, sing,
" Lo, the konkrin ero turns."
No fears need be entertained about mnk
ing n platform too rigid, or any thing of
that sort. Fix it up so lliut every locofoco
who hereafter bolts n " regulnr notnina
lion," demurs to nn edict of the " caucus,"
oreven makes a wry face at the chafing
of a rusty link in the chain of " I i mo-honored
usages of our parly," ahull be put up
at auction nnd sold as a " nigger," and
your democratic, platform will be carried
by a mnjorily of 400 in Polk, 450 in Ma
rion, 527 in Linn, 102 in Lane, 20 in Ben
lion, 340 in Douglas, and 4G7 in Jackson,
with, perhaps, " Tillamook ond Curry to
hear from," whilo every sniveling pettifog
ger that wants nn office throughout the
Territory, will be willing lo mount the
platform, determined to ride it, ''till repeal
ed," "just lo save tbo Union." Wo hope
our Iirpublican fiiend won't object to any
sort of n " platform'' tho black democrats
choose to fix up, so they do not try to in
corporate it in the constitution.
J3T Tho Convention organized in Sa
lem last Tuesday.
The vote for President stood Dcady
30, Olds 15, nnd blank 4.
Secretary Terry 44, blank 13.

W. Barker 14.

Thus it will bo seen that the pro-slavery
black democrats have things all their own
way, in the election of Dcndy ns President.
What foreign influences are being brought
to bear upon the Convention we nre left to
guess but if tho next threo months do
not dcvtlopo something ominous in the
camp of tho black democracy, wc shall be
willing to bo set down as n poor gucsser.
(&" Wo learn that Judgo Olney, and
all delegates who were not elected on the
regular " driven nij-ger" ticket, were ex
cluded from the caucus at Salem.
The Convention was engaged last
Tuesday in a warm discussion upon a res
olution lo confine each speaker lo two
speeches fifteen minutes each on every mo
tion, also a resolution to exclude all do
bale on slavery from the Convention. The
result wo have not learned.
We shall probably hear from our
reporter in the Convention by the next
southern mail.

Our reinuikt upon this subject in another

We have had some intimation that mo

who believes that one of the black-demo-
crnlic papers, except perhaps tho Standard,
