from him no duubt ly llio external press
ure of firr -eaters ; as Douglas, Richnrdion,
and many other prominent statesmen nre
opposed to it, and as a lar-ra majority of

Whntovtr is done at Washington in re

very nice mathematical calculation upon
political capital to be HJ up for use in

OT Quito nn exciting debate occurred
in the Legislature lust week, upon a rcso
lulion offered by Sinter, of Henton, tocxpcl
Penso fur reporting for tho clique organ in
such a manner as to hold up some of the
members in rather an unenviablu light, by
giving their speeches too literally. Shuck,
Allen, niul other" Softs," liavo been made
to appear rather illiterate by ihe use of
"git," "miring children," "committy,"
Ac, Ac. The motion to expel Tease wits
finally lost, Allen, Hill, and Shuck only
voting for it. An editorial in the paper
shows tho editor has taken courage from
the vole, and thus threatens lo continue
the practice :
' In conclusion we linve ( say, that if
tcnoramuses, chuekleheads, ninnits nnd
nincompoops get elected to ihe legislature,
by catluw themselves " democrat", nnd
inviting lo their support every fag-end if
" republicanism, witu a promise lo Jilt
the Statesman, and the " Salem Cli-que,"
they will IiiiiJ Hint the Statesman will reflect
them back to their counties and tu tho
eouulry in their true characters. It will
dress up nnd mnko no speeches for them,
but it will daguerreotype them as they
art.
Now if this practice of" dnguerreolyp
ing them as I hey are," cxtendod lo all the
members of the Legislature, instead of
those nnly who are "anti-Bush," there
might be loss reason for attributing it to
personal hate, and more of an apparent ex
cuse tniuht be made for it. We doubt
whether there ever were in our Legisla
ture fivo "clique" representatives who
would nppear any belter thnn Shuck in n
literal report. In fact, few of the corres
pondents of thai or any other papor would
nppear to much literary advantage if the
"copy" was strictly followed. It will ho
recollected what murderous spelling nnd
grammar the original petition contained
that was sent on to Washington lertho ro
moral of Col. Gardner, a copy of which
we published, in which " rejuyced," "in.

Wo do not rupposo that ihe offence
charged was hardly sufficient lo justify nn

Ihe PrcMAenr Message.
When tho N. Y. steamer sailed, Congress
hod not organized, nnd of course no Mes
sage had been sent in, but five copies were
sent to California in advance of its delivery.
Wo find a synopsis in the California Chron
iclo. We give a few of its leading fca
turcs.
IliiVE.Nl'E. The duties on imports have
been so reduced that the government may
have to make a loan soon.
The Banks. Great evils. The amount
of specie in their vaults, $.'8, 340,830.
Their circulation 8214,778,822. Deposits
$230,3ol,352. The States sheuld in
crease the denomination of bank notes first
lo twenty nnd then to fifty dollars, and re
quire the banks to keep nt least one dollar
in gold and silver for every three of their
circulation and deposits. A uniform
bankrupt law is needed, Applicable to bank
ing institutions, making a suspension of
specie payment their civil death.
Foreign Relations. All peaceable,
except n small bone to pick with Spain,
perhaps, as sho has not yot met our claims.
Tho President here no doubt remembers
the Osiend manifesto, nnd what a certain
section expects of his Administration in re
gard to Cuba.
China Affairs. Our Minister is in
structed to maintain n neutral position in
the existing hostilities at Canton, but ho is
le co operate with the Ministers of Eng
land and France in securing favorable com
mercial treaties for tho three powors.
Panama. Recommends Congress to au
thorize him to employ tho laud and naval
forces of the United Slates to protect the
Panama Ruilroud routo if necessary.
Fii.i.iui'sterino. The measures adopt
ed to prevent Walker's return are cited,
and thinks it our duty to take effectual
measures to prevent filibustering outrages.
Paraguay. The Paragnayanians hnve
outraged some of our citizens and fired into
one of our vessels. Ho intends lo demand
a redress of grievances.
Kansas. The principles of the Kansas-
Nebraska bill are lauded, and the Lecomp-
ten Constitu'ionol Convention is recognized
as legal. Tho election to be held will be
held under legitimate authority, and if tho
people do Dot voto it will be their own fault.
If her pro-slavery constitution is offensive
to tho people, they can niter it after they
become a State. Tho clause in the consti
tution which keeps in bondage forever those
slaves now in Kansas, is a just and reason
able one, as the Supreme Court has already
lecided that those slaves went there by
v.rtue of ihe Constitution of (he United
States. For the people of Kansus to hav
been permitted to vole slavery out ol Kan
sas cutirely, would have been an act of
gross injustice. When she is admitted
into the Union, sho will for the first time
be permitted to manage her own nffiiirs in
her own way, assheshould have done long
ago. Kansas has occupied too much of the
public attention, and it is lime litis should
be directed to far more important objecta.
Utah. The first rebellion in the Terri
tori es must be punished. W must go
there with such an imposing force as lo in
timidate the Mormons and prevent the ef
fusion of blood. By this meant, we shall
convince the saints that we are theirfriends.
To accomplish ibis, it will be necessary to
raise fvur more regiments. Very sorry,
owing to hard tiroes, to have to recommend
it, but hope Congress will support me, cost
what it may.
Axiz'inia. I recommend Congress lo
establish a Territorial government over Ar
izonia incorporating with it such slices of
New Mexico as it may see fit.
Pacific IUii.road. The ncceniiy of
this road is asserted as well as the const i
luiional power of (he U, S. to asil iu its
construction, or even to build it entire.
The fovornmcnt ought to umK-rlake the
work by its own agents. This ought to
be committed to oilier agencies, which Con
gross might auit by crania of land or
money, or both. The furnishing means of
transportation for troops and mails cooler
constitutional power, whilo the promotion
f powerful commercial interests of the
whole country, and llio formulinn of a bond
of Union, furnish auxiliu(ry arguments in
in lavorol expediting the work uy means
of uuvernmenl pA'ronago. The work itself
is elenrly wi-hiu the war making power.

Treasury. Receipts for fiscal year end
ing June 30, lt)-')7, were 803,031,37I,7,
which added to what wus on hand before
made 88.532,83l),2t. Expenditures 870,
b'.'2,7'.'-l,85. Balance in treasury July 1st

revenue for tho present year when added
to this will muku $75,389,031.(10. The
estimated expenses are $74,003,..r8,4 1.
But the latter is liable, to be increased.
Navt. Tho construction of ten small
war steamera nt a cost of 8230,000 each
is recommended.
Indians. Our whole number of Indians
is estimated at 325,000. The system of
hiring them to be peaceable with pteseuts,
baa proven a failure It is recommended
to colonize litem on reservations and teach
ihem the arts and sciences.
Post Office. In 183" there were 50,
080 post offices. The net increaso last
year was 1,051. 1 ho expenditures of the

The Message is very long, but we have
given the marrow of it.
OCT Buchanan has nothing lo say in his
Message about Oregon, or that " Indian nr
debt," and the probability is thnt thut the
present Congress will have enough to do,
with Jo Lane's assistance, in seining family
quarrels and fixing iho wires fur 1800, w i tlx
out bot luring with Oregon matters much.
I'l the mean lime, those who wish to reap
the reward of being sound black democrats,
will pli-aso lo subscribe for Jo Lane's Times,
and then call on the Surveyor General for
their "Talents."
(r Gov. Wulker of Kansas is in Wash
ington, and has had several interviews
with Buchanan regarding Kansas matters.
He, like Douglas, is in favor of permitting
the people to vote upon the constitution.
Tho organs of the black democracy which
fuvor Bucl.nnan's views, give it as their
opinion thai Douglas will not strongly op
pose tho Kansas villainy, but will keep quiet
while the Administration is riveting the
chains of slavery upon the new State by
admitting it with this bogus constitution.
Gov. Walker thinks tho people will not
submit to such an outrage.
OCT I he President it seems intimates
that the Pacific Railroad should run thro'
Texas and Southern California. . Just
about what we expected. But we prefer
even such a road lo none at all.
03r The Standard puffs the President's
Message as nn " invaluable national docu
ment." The Times ond Czapkay's organ
havo already echoed the sentiments of
Forney and Douglas, nnd claim that the
democracy of Oregon occupy the same po
sition. These papers of course must now
shift their position, or cease to lay claim to
" National democracy." Tho 'Softs' must
now take time by the forelock and mount
Buchanan's hobby, for subjugating Kan-
sas, and thty will be iheonly Simon pure
Nutionals." The Occidental already
stands upon it. Will Dr. Henry and Col.
Kelly tell us what Ihry think of" Nation
al democracy" now ?
(ttThe news from Utah is very mea
gre. W e learn frein persons just from the
Dulls that a " reliubU" Snake Indian had
brought word to Col- Sieptoe that a com
pany of Mormons had met a detaichment
f U. S. troops somewhere in Suit Lake
Vallev, and had a fight with them. The
Mormons had the worst of it, and after
loosing a good mny men took lo their
heels.
CCjr The wire.worksrs ai Washington
had fixed upon Orr, of South Carolina, as
speaker of iho House. Congress was to
meet Deo. 7th.
(r A correspomli-Bt of ihe Chicago
Tiibune who left Kansas on the same boat
with Walker, says I hat the Governor talked
almost incessantly about the constitutional
convention, anJ was horribly profane.
He declared ihey were "felons, and the
most beggarly, butcherly crowd of sots,
ruffians, and assassins ever assembled."
IHT Companies are being formed in
California and Southern Oregon for ihe
Mormon war, in case Government shall
call for volunteers.
The editor of the Standard says he
can't stand whisky. He, of course, will be
decapitated at ihe next " Jacksoo Jubilee"

Dr. Steel, and Wni. C. Dement for favors
in the way of exchanges.
ftfr W wish that everr " democrat" in
Oiegon hud a copy of I'orniy'a Press of
Due. filh. It is full of manly talk about
iho outrages about to be perpetrated on
Kansas, Forney has taken strong ground,
and says lie bat an idea he shall nol re
cede frem it. Every column of llmt jour.
nnl devoted lo this matter has ihe ring of irue
republican metal, and wo nre glad to be
able to say thai wo have found out man
who, in conducting a professedly democralio
journal, has not stifled his conscience and
smothered down every humane and noble
impulse in bis bosom.
OCT The Legislature has acted upon
our suggestion and changed the law so I lis I
judges ofelection are required to make their

OCT Tho cook on board lite Enterprise
in paving along the platform bv tho
Linn City Mills, last Sunday night, walked
off lite plunks into the water, bruising In
face severely, and breaking onu bone of
his fore arm.
(KT Tho steamer Express hat not yet
got off the rocks at Willamette City, nt litis
date (Friday noon). Capt. Irvin informs
us lhat nine inches more will float her, and
the late heavy rains will probably raise
the river so the will be nflou! toon.
OCT Tho steamer Commodore reached
Portlnnd last Tuesday evening. The Co
lumbia, which left San Francisco two days
before the Commodore, failed to cross the
Columbia Wowing to rough weather, and
went on lo the Sound. She however reach
ed Portland Thursday, bringing llio mails.
Tho Times editor says he ought lo
hnve been ticketed lo tho Mechanics' Hall
in Portland, because, having once ensnared
a hare, ho lays claim to belonging to iho
craft. We knew one of his " raco to scl
up a similar claim from the fact that he
had "saw'd wood for a gemman."

(FiT Wo see by the papers thut Gov.
McMullen has applied to the Legislature of
Washington Territory for a divorce from
