Governor Walker has simply, but Will
fully and fully, carried out tho great prin
ciple fer which we contended, and, inns,
much as tho recent Constitutional Con
vention of Kanvts tins, In n measure,
-departed from that principle, the Constitu
tiot) they ollVr should he rejected by Con-
cress. It U true the ureal mailer of
-contention, the question of slavery or no
slavery, in the new Slate, has been fully,
'and we suppose fairly, submitted to tho
people ', hut there are ether obnoxious fea
tures in the Constitution eii'ored which
should prevent it kuceptance uatil submit
ted as a whole, to the people, for their ap
proval or rejection. When we even amend
our Constitutions, we submit the same to
: the people; how much greater then the
reason for submitting the whole of the
- fundamental luw under which a people are
to live, to themselves, fur approval or dis
approval. From tht Ottaiea (7.7.) Free Trader.
Without, howevor going further into the
details of the instrument, it is sufficient lo
remark that ihn upshot oflho whole is, that
the Kansas Convention have made the at
tempt by jugglery and trickery, to defeat
the manifest will of the people by Tautening
slavery upon thorn when four-filihsof them
have declared fit tho no'.! thut Kansas
shall be free Stnte. In no case can ihe
action they propose to let the people vol
upon be regarded as an evca submitting the
slavery question to a vote of the people.
Assuming this to be the stale of ihe facts,
we say, without hesitation, with the Chi.
cago Times, the Dolroit Free Press, For
ney's 1'ress and, indeed, every leading
Democratic- paper of ihe North, nnd some
' tn the south Hint the now Kansas Lonsti
' tution should be placed on a par with the

Outsioi. On the first page of (his
week's paper will be found tomo interest,
ing matter pertaining lo the tan.ceiidvnlly
iniere.ling mailer thai jul now absorbs
public attention " the subjugation of Kan.
sas" by the present Administration. Jim
Lane's speech is very severe, and shows
that tilts long scries ef outrages inflicted
upon his people by the cut throat ruflians,
backed up by tht Tierce and Buchanan
administrations, has festered the hearts ef
ihs people of that unfortunate Territory,
until they seem forced to arise ia their
might, and, Sampson-like, burst ihe serpen
tine wilhrs of bogus enaotnienis, lied to
gether hy adminialruiioo officials, that have
been coiled around them in many a sunk
fold, preparatory to offering them up upon
ihe sltar ef modern democracy, as a aweet
smelling savor, to the god of slavery,
" Weeding Kansas," thus bound and np
pareully "subdued," is dragged up to
Washington by Atchison, StringfelUw,
and a long relinuo of attending ruflians,
with John Calhoun, the high priest of black
democracy, just in ihe rear, brandishing
the knife, already rusty with ihe blood ol
the victim, wiih which he hopes to dispatch
it by cutting its throat from ear to ear.
The "conservative Mr.fr.kanniin, Mrem
bling under tho consciousness of an sp
proaching political earthquake and storm in
a certain " section," and with a distinct
recollection of his solemn pledget to the
people who elected him, to 'Walker whom
he appointed as Governor, aud lo tho pee-
plo of Kuiidas themselves, that this fair
Territory should nover bo slaughtered un
loss they actually desired lo he skinned and
rousted as a barbecue to " save ihe Union,"
is induced by urgent, clamorous fire-eaters
lo yield the point, and sign the deaih war
rant of tho victim, accompanied with a
commission to Calhoun to proceed in the
uso of his " Union-saving scalping knife,''
and put an end at once to all tho "shrieks"
that liav to long grated en sensitive ears,
and let butchered, bleeding, barbacued Kan
sas be sit on the democratic board, sur
rounded by Diglcr, Mason, Toombs, Orr,
JefT Davis, and some I wo thousand other
" sound and reliable Democrats," wiih per
mission that the seven hundred and ono
locofeco editors le permitted to crawl un
dcr the table and gnaw the boucs, after
the editor of the Uuion has sucked eut tho
marrow. Out alas I alas I The bloody
tide of villainy, like that of true lore, is
liable to have its rapids nnd shoals. Th
President found this to be so, when, after
troubling the waters at Ilsrriobur", and
stretching forth his democratic wand orer
the " filthy pool of politics," and crying in
a loud voice " Forney my son, come forth,"
up roso before his dough face Simon Cam
eron, as Senator from Pennsylvania.
Cameron, in coming to tbe surface,
butted his head against the rotten Lull of
black democracy, and shivered its timbers
so that it has leaked a little ever since,

Ruck toddles below to see what has snag

head below the hatchway than he cries
out, " three terrible snags my God, here's

scene on board beggars all description
The old rotten thing lurches and reels, the
water is fast filling ihe hold, the pumps are
all out of order, (he " victim" is struggling
to break its bands, Calhoun stands over it
with his scalping knife, firo-eaiers crowd
around it brandishing bludgeons and bowie
knives, and, with horrible oaths and bias-
phenues, threaten to sink the ship and de
siroy the Union if they are cheated out of
their barbecue; while above all the clamor
of these madcaps, and the roar of ihe white
caps on the breakers, Forney, Douglas,
Walker, Stnnton, Stuart, and a host of
other "apostates." are heard "sbriekinir
for bleeding Kansas," while "old Buck"
is flying around in search of southern cot

in order to " save our party."
It is devoutly to be hoped that tha leak
canuol be stopped.

dorsement of Buchanan s plan for subju
gating Kansas, although it still contends
that the Constitution should bnve been

From tht Wellington correspondence
of Forney 't Press of Dee. Slsl, we clip
the following:
"The editor of the Union achieved a
Pyrrhus nctory to day, gelling iweniy
right volet for prinii-r, the required in a
jurity being twenty-five, Mr. Douglas
declined voiing, staling that he (lid su for
reasons tslUfuctory lo himself. He went to

that I ho people of a free Stale could not
exclude slavery therefrom an opin

ihe severe reprobation of several prominent
Democratic papeis.
Will llisSulcm organ of caucus sover
eignty rctd Douglas oul of the parly I
The following Is the article alluded lo
in the Union, Buchanan's organ, and wr
place it on ihe record lo show where blank
democracy has got to since "rqualtcr hov
ereignly" has been assassinated by the
Supreme Court :
" The Constitution declares that 1 the cit
izens of each Sla'e shall be entitled In all
the pi s ilegcs nnd immunities of citizen
in the several Sutvs.' Every ciii n of
one Stato coming into another Stale has,
then fore, a right to ihe protection of his
prson, aim idat properly which is recog
nized as such by the Coniitii'ion of the
United Slates, any law of a Slate to the
contrary notwithstanding. So far Iron)
any State having a right to deprive him of
this properly, it is Us be-untleo duty lo pro
tect him in its possession.
"If these views are correct and we
believe it would bo difficult tn invalidate
them it follows thai ull Slate laws, whe
ther organic or otherwise, which prohibit a
citizen or ont ointe from sellliuit in an
olhrr, and bringing h's slave property wiih
hi in, and moil especially declaring it Tor
fcited, are direct violations of tho original
intentions of a Government which, ss be
fore ttuled, it the protection of person anil
pritnertv, and of tho Constitution of the
United Slates, which recognizes property
in slaves, and declares I hat 1 the citizens of
each Slate shall be entitled to all the privi
legi-s and immunities of citizens in the sev
entl States,' nineng the most essential o
which is the protection of person and
properly.
The Cincinnati Enquirer, a drivca-nig
ger organ, sticks up its nose al it thus :
"The doctrines ef the article are of ihe
bluest Federal sinmp, utterly subversive of
stale rights, and could have sprung from
no brum possessed or a Dt-mocrano idea.
If the Washington Uuion has advanced
such miserable tu(Tas thai, it will, ns it
ought to, receive no countenance from any
sound Democratic press North or South,
nnd ihe sooner its editor abdicates nnd re
tires into winter quarters, Ihe better fer the
country and the Democratic party."
But here is the way Forney's Press
treats it:
u If these doctrines are to be carried out
in Pennsylvania, '.here would not be
enough Democrats left to fill an omnibus.
"There is not a Congressional district
in this Slate that would not unanimously
reject any man ofll-ring himself with such
doctrines on his banner. Such opinions,
however, are in happy sympathy with a
support of the Calhoun minority Conven
tion." 03" Buchanan has dismissed John Me
Keon, U. S. District Attorney in Now
York, for not voting for Msyor Wood.
Sickles, democratic member of Congress
from thai city, and several other leading
men of the party, have been denounced in
violent terms for voting against the regu
lar nominee. Their reason for opposing
him was thai he was a very corrupt, dis
honest man, and every way unworthy of
the office. The party whippers-in say thai
is an excuse that cannot bo taken, as a
"sound and reliuble democrat" will ulways
vote (he ticket, no mat tor who is on it.
Exercise for Scholars.
As it seems to be the fashion just now
lo propound problems through the columns
of The Argns, we propose to submit a les
son in grammar to the students of some of
our numerous "colleges" in Oregon.
We wish the following sentence, which
occurs in tho President's Messuge, parsed :
" The present Emperor, as well a hit
predecessors,' have never failed, when the
occasion otlereii, lo maniK-st their good
will to our country; an J their friendship
has nlways been highly appreciated by the
Government and people of tho United
States."
A fer the foregoing lesson is thoroughly
mastered, we hope they will be permitted
lo "turnover" to the following elegant
specimens of composition, taken from the
same fountain head ef black-democratic
literature:
"Our creat staples have commands!
high prices, and, up till within a brief pe
riod, our manufacturing, mineral, and m.
chanical occupations have largely partaken

tW The Legislature has passed a bill
incorporating tbe " Pudding River Trans
portation and Navigation Company."
This river is navigable for small steamers
during the winter months as high as Par.
kersville, but wt believe that Wm. Barlow,
with others, who compose ihe company, in
tend to navigate it only with batteaux,
which will probably carry thirty or forty
Una. The drift will no doubt be all taken
out of the river this winter.
This improvement will afford excellent
facilities for shipping grain, lo those w ho
