reign contempt. There la do man in

par nobile fratrum) ao poor m to do him
reverence, and we should not have let down
our columns so low as to catch a dagutr
reotype, aa painted by himself in his epis
tle, but for the argent request of a number
ct prominent free State democrats of
Yamhill, who were ef the opinion thai
while hia letter was very simple, it really
'Contained the gist of iiiggerphobin, a am
plified in the message of poor Pierce and
the driveo-nigger organs generally. Mr,
Allen after avowing himself ready to be
made a political martyr of, so fur as sacri
ficing wealth and fame, to save llio Union,
ays:
" This question has been dubaled in Ore
gon with regard lo 'he advantages and dis
advanlagea of the institution of slavery in
a pecuuiary point of view. The soil, pro
'ducts, climate, dec, have been handled
ably. But I look lo something bryond
these comparatively trifling views to
something higher, nobler, precious, the
perpHluily of the Union."
Here is a plain and full admission that
in the discussions in the Standard (we have
no idea be ever read any other free State
paper), ibe "disadvantages of slavery in
pecuniary point of view" have been so
"ably handled" iIihI there is no doubt bvt
the system would be a curse lo the country.
Aa to the morality of the thing be express
ed himself in these words :
" I am naturally, or by education, op
posed to the principle of slavery. I ac
knowledge that I have always had some
prejudices against il. I think it coHtraty
to nature."
Here h.6 admits that either by nature or
education, he hardly knows which, he feel
that be possesses a spark of conscience,
sympathy, oi humanity, which revolts al
the " principle of slavery," and admits that
it is "contrary to naturo j" yet avows his
willingness to embrace it, and cultivate an
afTcction for It. Wo have a full length
portrait of just such charncturs drawn by
Paul just 1T97 years ago "For this
cause God guve them up unto vile affect
ions, for even their women did change the
natural use into that which is against na
lure."
The great reason why the Scribes and
Pharisees sought the death of Jesus was,
that in addition to his general precepts of
morality and justice, ho was very severe
upon them for practicing crimes "con
trary to nature, in " robbing widows'
bouses, binding heavy burdens and griev
ous to be borne, and laying thorn upon
men s shoulders, while they themselves
refused to touch thorn with one of their
fingers." This was the renl ground of
their hatred towards the Mesial, but in or
dor to justify their murderiug him before
the populace, tiny raised tho political
howl, that he was an "agitator" and a
"plotter against tho government," and we
have little doubt but iu addition lo the
thirty places of silver, Judas loyalty to
his rrovernment and hia nv t.r il tlTM,An
and Constitution" of Judaism was strong,
ly appealed tojintil they really made the
poor ignorant slink believe that the govern
ment was actually rocking en its base and
1hal to" save il" be was probably justified
in betraying bis Lord, to be murdered on
the cross by inches. To be sure, Judus,
like every ether man who was ever will
ing lo commit a " crime against nature"
for any purpose, had a devil in bim, be
aides his acquisitiveness was so largo that
very one ef the thirty dollars he pocketed
as the price of blood, looked lo him as big
na a wagon wheel. But at the same lime
we are disponed to be more charitable to
wards him than the generality of men, and
attribute to him a something whicUmade
him nnturally or by educaliaa opposed
lo the principle" of dealing in flesh and
blood. 1 Indeed we look upon him as a Tory
fair type of numerous politicians of mod
ern times a man who, in addition lo pos
sessing a devil, having very largo acq uisi
o - ... . u , . u
livenees which always made his fingers
tingle pleasantly when be handled the
"bag," was a very stupid blockhead and
liable lo be wooled and made a tool of by
thaae more crafty lhau himself : and we
have no doubt that aa he saugly stowed
way the price of blood in his pocket, and

15 ut I leave Judas, and return lo Allen.
Il will be seen by the following ibat he is
bul half converted:
" As far as I have had opportunities of
eUervatiun, from my experience, I am in
duced to belive thai free Stales, generally,
are more enterprising and prosperous, in a
good many waya, than slave Sta'."
This Is directly opposite to the doctrine
of the Occidental and most of lb slavery
men in Oregon, wbo contend thai the slave
States are " mora enterprising and pros
perous" than the free States. A Ilea will
doub'.le be takea en probation, and tutor
ed, till he well be every way sound enough
te recaat this heresy, as well a the eiber
one that slavery ia " eestrary to nature."
We should rejoice at even this small
nmouat of truth he has been able to gather
from his limited " opportunities, ef obser
vation," were it not for the faetthat what
little light there may be in him now, will
soon be converted into darkness. That
be has betrayed hia constituents be thus
admits:
"It is well known la you, and lo met
persons will) whom I have formed an ac
quainiauce, that I have declared myself lo
be in favor or a free State for Oregon. I
done so last winter in the legislature, and
also during our lost political canvas in this
ceuuty. '
Yes, we all knew that you " done '
(there's grammar fur you), and Wosv.se
you did " dene so" your constituents are
now indignant thai yea did aol accompany
your letter with year resiraatiea. Ajaii:
" But after mature deliberation, and as
thorough investigation as possible, by read
ing lbs most authentic documents on the
history of our government that I could
get, and from information ef tho proceed
ings of the political parties In I he States
during the last rretttuential canvass, and
also in seme of the Territories lately, I
have come to the only ratirnal conclusion
as I think that the safety of the Con
stitutiun and the Union is threatened by
what is known aa the Black Republican
parly which is but another name for Ab
olitionists ; and that if they ever do get
the power in Congress, they will change
the institutions ef ihe government, repeal
or modify Ibe Constitution, endeavor lo
abolish slavery in every State, and cause
a civil war."
It appears from this that the " most au
thentic documents" this man has ever read
are such " documents" as the Occidental
Messenger and Frank Martin's letter lo
Czapkny's organ. lVo man who has ever
had access lo other documents than lying
locofvoo organs, can possibly be so pro
foundly ignorant as not to know that ihe
bluck di mocratio party has in its bourn
the only open aad avowed disunion)!
there are in the government, except per
haps a fow radical abolitionists wbo are
inconsiderable in numbers. Such roes as
Brooks, Keitl, Orr, Tombs, Adams, aad
host of other leading black democrats,
openly and defiantly threatened disunion
during the last Presidential cnevass,
while not one leading Republican, or even
one ever to obscure, ever tulked of anything
bul supporting the Union and the I onstitu
lion with his last drop ef blood ! Yet,
in spits of nil the.se fuels, we find now and
then a man so miserably ignorant as net
to know these facts. The reason is, loco
foco papers studiously avoid publishing
them in ordor lo keep tho masses blisded.
Ilis assertion that the abolition party and
Republican are identical, is known to be
false by even the asses that pack Uncle
Sam's mail bags. Again :
" Again, other Northern statesmen have
declared their intention to abolish slavery
' throughout all (Jed's heritage.' Query
are net the slave Slates a part of Cod's
horitage)
" And om of these prominent leaders
at lbs North, boldly affirm that ' the Con
stitution is a contract with Death and a
covenant with Hell.' " .
Here he forgets the Republicans, and,
true lo Ihe instincts of a new convert te
fire-eating disunionisin, he pilches inie the
whole Xorlh, as though there were ne Lots
there, and, what is still more noticeable
he quotes llio language of the most ultra
of the abolition party as the real scnli
meul of Ibe whole North. No Northern
Republican and no Northern Democrat
ever used such language. It alone be
longs te disunion abolitionists and South
ern fire-eaters, and we are perfectly will
ing that Allen should put them all in hia
pipe and smoke them while be ie butting
his brains out agaiast Northern iasiiiu
liens. But here follows a pretty little
catechism which he Las clipped from the
Seutiuel :
" Who hoisted a disunion flair durine the
lust I residential campaign! I he Black
Republicans! How many stars were on
It I (July sixteen I " .
That the Republicans ever hoisted
disunion flag ia a black falsehood, and that
hey ever carried ene with eoly sixteen
stars, is equally black, except in one in
stance inhere the other ffteen stare had
been eut out the night before by tome very
airly bluck democrats icAo got access to it.
The Republicans ia that case carried their
dag aluft, all tore and disfigured as it was,
as a token of their determination aever lo
forsake it, though it might be riddled by
ihe cannon-shots of foreign despotisms, or
haggled up by ibe jack-knives ef black
hearted driven-nigger toriea.
We dismiss this subject by asking eur
free Stale democratic friends, W'bal confi
dence can you have in men who profess Ihe
name democracy I How aiany ef your
leaders, think you, but that weald le wil
ling te leer ihe Constitution into atoms,

tinoSovexrion IUrr. On the outside of
this paper will be found a few extracts from
leading democratic papers in ihe Siati-s,
denouncing ihe policy of ibe provnt ad
ministration aa developed in Gov. Walk
er's speeches declaring that Ihe peopta of
Kansas should have the privilege of voting
for or against their constitution. Whether
this raking fire from the very journuls thai
secured the election of Buclinnan, will
cue bim te yield lo their demands In re
moving Walker and reconstructing the
machinery ef poor Pierce fur forcing slave
ry upon Kansas al the point of Missouri
bayonets and bowie-knives, renutie to be
seen. At all events ihe administration
tow finds itself between two horns of a
dilemma, ene ef which il has got te climb
either le carry out Ihe principles of
" squatter sovereignty" as explained to Ihe
voters of Pennsylvania last November, iu
allowing a full and fair vote upon the con
stitution in Kansas, or to yield to ihe dic
tation of fire-eaters in admitting Kansas
as a slave State without submitting the
question te the people, more than iwo
thirds of whom are free State men. By
climbing the first hern, a split in the south
ern wing of ike " nigger-driving" democ
racy ef the South ia inevitable, while by
pursuing the latter course, the "driven
aigger" wiig at Ihe North will be swapp
ed and aaaihilated.
We have copied a few ef these black
democratic extracts, se that honest men,
who are now blindly supporting this party,
may see them tho driven-nigger editors
of ibis Territory are carefal lo exclude
all such gloamings ef light from their so!
umns, and net one of there, except the
Standard, has dared to decide as between
the administration and fire-eating disunion
ists. Even the Ocuideaial, with all its
boasted independence, dare not, in this
latitude and longitude, break ground, while
we doubt not it would echo the bowls of
fire-eaters, provided it issued upon some
hot-bed of dhtuuionism in South Carolina,
where the smell of Africans is tank enough
te be cut with a knife. But just here we
introduce another extract taken from the
New Orleans Delta, a paper which support
ed Buchanan last fall, under the conviction
that he was a vrry good representative of
poor Pierce. The policy of Walker in
Kansas has disgusted Ibo Delia, and it
comes out with a daguerreotype likeness
ef the leaders of the black democracy,
which is certainly an admirable portrait,
and agrees cxnc'ly with the one we have
often drawn of them eursslf. We copy it,
and ask every honest democrat (we mean
the hard handed yeomanry), te read it over
twice, and then say whether a party led by
suck men can really be a democratic parly
or not.
From the New Orleans Delta.
It is obvious to every southern man
whose eyes are nnt dazxled with the lustre
of Federal gold, and whose heart has not
yielded te the seductive influences ef the
"pomp, pride and circumstance" ef Fed
eral power nnd place, that the reins of Gov
ernment are ne longer in the hands of
patriotic staiesmon.
The true evangel of equality and justice
is no longer preached. The rights of sov
ereign Slates are no longer protected, and
Ihe sacred obligations of duly yield to par
tisan prejudice and sectional pressure. The
Arnold VVinkelreids of other days, labor
ing only for ibe benefit of the Republic,
and hating oppression in whatever finite it
came who cried like tho valiant Switzer
of old "Make way for Liberty I" are re
placed by political tricksters and wily
mountebanks, who cry, in their hearts,
"Make way for power, place and plunder!"
And while they suck the blood and eat
the vitals of ibe nation, they shout hosnnnas
to the Union, and tell us that we should
thank God that we live in a land of liberty,
while, like the r ranch Revolutionists, Ihuv
deliberately perpetrate every enormity in
the name of that much-belauded and much-
glorified myth. .
Conventions are bold, platforms, with
high-sounding, sonorous phrases are erected.
and the politicians coolly invite the people
to place their leet plump upon the planks,
as if each wire puller designed to keep
them company when the heated strife of
a 1 residential contest is over. The creatures
of these Conventions, anxious only for sue
cess, aad caring as little for treason as a
dicer cares for bis eatbs, with an affecta
tion ef patriotic fervor and devotion which
a regarded as ike sublimity of disinter
esledness by the uninitiated, indorse with
becoming decorum what looks like a sirin"
of genuine principle, but what turns eut
te be as vaguo and indefinite as one of the
platforms of Monk Lewis. s

Bul we cannot forbear making another
rich extract from a speech of Senator
Brewnef Mississippi, at Yazoo en the 4lb
of last July. Here il is
"Tho sneaker passed to Kansas affairs,
in the discussion of which. Walker'
course met with the severest reprobation
at hia hands. lie did not believe that Mr.
Buchanan would sulfur Walker to reiaiu
hia place as Governor ef ihe territory, bul
if he did, the South would rise up and de
nounce him as false le the groat principles

and so would every true Southerner. Ue
had heard it from the President's own lips,
that this thing of Squatter Sovereignty
was ene of Ihe moat damnable heresies
that was ever breached in this or any other
country, and that he (the P resident ) would
leave noihing undone to throttle it. Mr.
B. had told the speaker this in all sinceri
ty, and he believed him. lie had no
doubt but that Walkers appointment
would bo cancelled."
We would like to bear the opinion con
cerning "squatter sovereignly" of the
sniveling agent of Czapkay and a few other
driven niggers, who fairly made their
throats sore in -shouting over the election
f Buchanan as a "squatter sovereign,"
new that their shivering champion in or
der to " appeapo the wrath of Juno," con
fidentally whispers in tko ears of a south
ern fire-eater that " squatter sovereignty is
one of the most damnable heresies that teas
ever broached in this or any other country."
CO" The Convention at Salem adjourned
en Friday of last week. We shall publish
the Constitution as soon as we get it, and
take ground for or against when we know
what it is. The Constitution fixes the sala
ry of the Governor al 81,500 per annum,
and that of the Secretary ef State al
ihe same. The Judges are allowed
82,000 and the Treasurer $300. The
viva voce is left out of the Constitution, and
the slavery and free negro questions are
submitted in a separate schedule.
Jfcsf We learn that nn old lesidunt of

He says that while in the States be trav

country. 1 lo must bo of diflerenl pluck
