The ProtMent take, a different view of the subject in bin rnesiagej and, from tbe event occurring in Kant mi well m hnre, it is evident ihut the question pasting nuin uicnrini una prnuuee ; ana tiiat, an Governor ot Kansas, 1 should be compelled to carry om new instructions, dmering on a vital question, from those received ai the date ot my appointment. Such inslruc tisns I could nut execute, consistently with my views of the Federal Constitution, of the Kansas and Nebraska bill, or with my pledge to the pioiilu of Kansas. Under thus circumstances, ne alternative in lefi me but to resign I lie office of Governor of Jhe I erntory of Kansas. No one can more deeply regret than my self the necessity ; but it arises from no change of opinion oo my part. On the contrary, I should most cheerfully have returned lo Kansas to carry out my origi nal instructions, and thus preserve the peaco of the Territory, and dually soitle the Kansas question by redeeming my pledges to ;he people. It is not my inten tion to discuss, Hi this lime, the peculiar circumstances and unexpected events which lave modified the opinions of the Presi dent upon a point to vital as the submis sion of the Constitution for ratification or rejection by the vote of the people, much less do I desire any controversy with the President on this subject ; yet, how ever widoly my views may differ from these entertained by liiinon this question views which I have entertained all my life, and which, ni involving fundamental 'principles of public liberty aud tht Consti. Hution, are unchangeable yet, as regards all these great Democratic measures which, I trust, wilt constitute the policy of his Administration in other respeots, it will give mo ploasure, as a private citizen, to .yield my cordial support. I have said that the slavery question, ns a practical issue, natl disappeared from - Kansas long before my arrival there, and the question of self-government had been - substituted in iu place. On some future occasion I shull dissipate the delusion which lias prevailed upon this subject, and show, that after three years' experiment, when I arrived iu Kansas, there were lens than three hundred slaves there, and the number constantly diminishing ; thai, as proved by the ollicial records of Congress, published and authenticated by those dis tinguished Southern statesmen, John C. " Calhoun and Jefferson Davis, the winier - climate, even nf Eastern Kansas, is colder than that of New England, nnd lhat the pre slavery Territorial Convention of Kan sas, consolidated with the pro slavery Ter. ritorial Legislature, on the 4th of January, 4oui, ncariy ntro monins ociora my am ' val there, did distinctly abandon the slav ery issue, nnd because, as set forth by one of their number, "the pro-slavery party - was in a small nnd admitted minority," "and the co-nperaiion of the free-Stale democracy was invited, as the only hope of success, not to make Kansas a slave Slate, which was conceded to be impossible, butto make it a conservative- Democrulio free State." Even as Into ns tho 3d nf July loo", when the Democratic Territorial Convention assembled at Lecompton, in consequence of the laws of climate and the well-known will of i he peoplo, none con tended that slavery could be established there. Nor was it uniil my Southern on aeneuts interfered in the affair of Kansas, and by denunciation, menace, and other wise, aided at a critical period by several federal olhce-linlders of Kansas, including iie surveyor genciui, (the president of the Convention,) with his immense patronage, amuracing many nunurea employees, in tervened, nnd, ns 1 believe, without I lie knowlodge or approbation of the President ol the united Mates, produced the extra ordinary paper called, tho Lecompton Con stitution.' Vet this uct of intervention bv Federal officers to defeat the will of the people seems to be sustained by my oppo. nents; whilst my intervention, h's it is called, iu obedience to mv duiv and oath f office to support tho Federal Constitu tion, and lo take caro that our organic law should be fairly executed, by endeavoring to secure to the peoplo of Kansas their rights undir that act, is denounced and calumniated. It is still more extraordinary, mat me nypoineiical remarks made hy ma as regards climate iu its connection with its influence upon tho question of slavery in Kansas, after that issue had been abadoiied there, which views were consolidating the Union between conservative, free-Suite, and pro-Blnvery Democrats, so as to pre vent the confiscation of the small number of slaves then held in Kansas, have been denounced by many distinguished South em Senators, who, when the Kansas and Nebraska bill was pending in Congress, and when such remarks frein ibem, if ever, might nllect Southern emigration, were then loudest in proclaiming that, because of its climate, Kansas could never become a slave State. Indeed, it seems that all persons, in and out of Kansas, whether in public or private life, may publish what opinions they please in regard lo these questions, except Iho Governor of that Territory, who has so little power and uo patronage. And now be pleased to express to the Tresidcnt my deep regret as regards our unfortunate difference of opinion in relation to the Lecompton Constitution, and to say .to him, that as infallibility does not bo- -Jong to man, however ex halted in intellect, .purity of intention, or position, yet if he .has committed any errors in this respect, juaythey be overruled by a superintending Providence, fur the perpetuation of our Luiou, and the advancement of the honor .and interest of our beloved eountrr.

OKIQOW CITY I SATURDAY, FEIMUAKY 8, 1858. 13T The " National Democracy" have made a call through iho Occidental Mes senger aud the Standard for a State Con vention to meet at Eugene City, April 8ili In order to post our readers fully as to the objects of this convention, we publish tho circular iu this number. The great object of the movers is stated lo be a res toration of "harmony and unity of action in trie Democratic masses of Oregon," Tho call lias already produced considera ble harmony (over the lefi) in this sectlou, Tbe office holders and office-hunters about town are slightly perplexed, and hre cipher ing around to see which pa'ly will be most likely to whip, before they take sides. The country people setm lo liko the idea of a new Organizutlon. They have long Deen Ungustod with the clique, and Lav only waited an opportunity lo be led ofj Cel. Kelly will find little difficulty in keep. ing them all straight. Those about town who still adhere lo the clique swore terri bly al first, and appeared quite restive, bul we believe they have finally quieted their nerves by hard drinking. Judyo Williams and several others of the unwashed, bul now badly terrified, have gone post haste to Snlom. Some think they have gone up to embark on the Salem platform for Salt River ; some think they intend to have the caucus sovereignly creed incorporated by tbia Legislature into the ' Territorial act," so as to "save iho Union," while others think there Las been only a call for an ex tra session of the " Jackass Jubilee," and Williams is engaged as the orator for the occasion, in cose Marple fuils to get there. We think ourself that these Solons have merely gone up to charier lloyt's " Wal. larnet" blackboard, in order lo work out that Senatorial problem, which recent events seem to indicate was first demon strated upon the hypothesis thai if A. B. is equal to C. D., Ac. It being finally dis covered lhat there is no equality between theso democrniic angles, of course the would-be Senators find themselves some what flabbergasted in iheir calculations, and it becomes necessary to rcpuir to S. Icm, with their saddle-bags full of chalk, Newi from the Atlantic States. The steamer Pacific reached Portland last Saturday nlghi, and left on Tuesday night, carrying out about 300 Ions of flour and bacon. The Santa Crui reached Portland on Wednesday night, bringing dales from New York lo January 5 th. Conorm. Mr. Pngh, of Ohio, Las of. fered a Kansas compromise bill in the U. S. Senate, which is not very likely to pass. It provides fur the immediate admission of W (Jn. Win. Walker arrived at Nw " OrMo York on Iho B2jofDec. on his nereis of Fiaww.CiTizNi-Ajrfer.bly t the honor, and immediately delivered imrir "l,,ril wf our American institutions, found up lo U. S. Marshal Itynders, wiih whom h proceeded lo Washington and was band, ed ever lo the Secretary of Slate. Gen. Cass remarked lhat he did not consider Gen, Walkers prisoner, as it was the bui ness of the Ju 'iciary lo proceed against him. The Marshal ibeii fold Walker thai he wasal liberty. The Administration are evidently clia Kanas under the Lecompton constitution, I grlned t Commodore Paulding's course, wiib the slavery section stiickerj out, and and condemn his officiousncss in Lading the whole subject of slavery lo be referred troops on foreign soil, hi act being a vlo- lo a popular vote on the 7th nf April next, 'tion of International law, the r.turr.s to be made lo the Governor. . ..

Senator Gwin nnd Broderick from Cal ifornia are active in favor of the Pacific Railroad, and the prospects are much in lis favor. No reconciliation has been effected be. tween Douglas and the Buchanan Lecomp ton wing. Broderick denounced the Le. compton swindle in severe torms, and said ho would have applauded the free Slate men of Kansas if ihey had whipped the members of the Lecompton convention, cut off their ears, and banished them from the Territory. Congress adjourned over from Dec. 23 lo Jan. 4. The plan of Jo Lane and others for raising volunteer forces to fight the Mor mons, receives no favor at Washington. lemocrsey in Washington about the arresi of Walker bv Commodore Paulding. Buchanan is lo be called to a strict account in reference to just how far he has had his finger in the filibuster muai. A correspondent of Forney's Press writing from Washington say lhat the Kansas difficulty is a mere nothing lo it. In speak ing of ihe new outbreak, bo say : " The flame will grow and rage more violently as the news passe Sonthward, until, reach ing the shores of the Gulf of Mexico, it will, like a prairie Are, sweep everything before it, and involve the whole South in one grand conflagration of filibuster furort.' The Administration adheres to its Ulan of v"4 Aer drk, some of the Czap i . increasing Ihe Regular forces to moel the muu wmseivea wiw breaking 03" Our representatives in the Legisla ture came down on the Enterprise last Thursday evening. Wo learn that the Salem charter was adopted by the citizens of the place by a handsome majority, de- spile the most violent opposition from the sentiments of a majority of our political brethren, coming from every section of the Territory. Mcu are to be judged from ed upnil lh great doctrines promulgaied in the Declaration of Independent, and ever faithfully adhered lo by ihe National Democratic party, it fa the inherent rigid and inalienable prerogative of a free pro pie lo reit every form of tyranny, and to oppose every encroachment upon the righ of ihe masses, let these come f'om what source they may, even le the last resource revolution. Rvellirmlng these sentiment, snd do daring thia Immunity, the undersigned, democratic members of ihe present legisla tive assembly of Oregon, have deemed Important lhat I hey should, in this man ner, confer with their democratic conethu eiiclvs, In order that corrrcliou of the great abuses which have crept into ihe domestic organization and usage of our party may be speedily wrought, and thai a Jiealthy sound and wise administration of it doc trinrs and government shall bs r-lnstitu led among us. Siandiug solely upon the great national democratic platform, and cnfesing- allegiance lo none other, ihey appeal lo their democratic fellow citizens to join them in the good and imperative work of re-organization. Il is clear lo every intelligent mind, that under existing ci'cumstnncre the demo cralic party of Oregon is fat propresssng towards a centralization of might into the hands of a few who assume to be its elm sen representatives. That they arc not so, is best made evident from the manifest lor.ipher a liule about that ''sppoiu'on- ment" and the chances for the U.S. Senate. We hope they will succeed in "saving the Union," besides having a good time of it generally. t3T The address lo the " Nationally mocracy" which we publish is Renounced of course by ihe cliqueitea as a very wenk afTuir. Many of them have asked us what we (nought of it, as to ils real merits. We have (as we always do in such cases read it over with great care, and we hope we shall not prejudice the mmd of any dom ocrat against it when we give it as our private opinion lhat it has every ear-mark of sound and reliable national democracy.1 We hnve no doubt but what it has been drawn from the great fountain-head reser voir ot Washington City, unless il may perhaps have been produced by boiling down "ihe conservative Mr. Bew-kannn'a" message, and suhjocting it to a pressure of several Ions to the square inch. Its bad grammar inclines us to this opinion, ns also the fuel lhat Ihe word "Democracy" oeing used;us twenty time times in it, in duces us to believo that its influence will be irresistible. W noticed Luland read- ing it on a comer to a crowd of aapintT democrats. He of course swelled consid erably on Ihe word " Democracy" when ever it occurred. We noticed a eradunl weakening of the knees among even the bushites every time "Democracy" rolled out on Ihe still air and was echoed back by me "basaltic formations" bnck of Main street. Bv the lime the taeniu.ninik m, had died away, tho bushites had all be- come so weak that ihey were generally supporting themselves by leaning againsl the walls and lamp-posts. The fact is, if the Salemites don't get up a pronunciamonto with at least one more use of iho word, they are gone in. Mallear? M. Rico and Gen. James Shields (democrats) have been elected U. S. Senators from Minnesota. tO" TLe financial cilsl hi measurably f used over in tLe East, and the banks have enerllyicsuiDsd sperie payment. 03 The Legislature adjourned last Thursday. No business of great impor tance has been transacted during this ses sion, unless we term as such some thiity or more divorces which have been cranted besides as many roads which hare been laid out or vacated. in the wisdows of seine who had oupporied ihe charter. This was in good keeping with caucus-sovereignty democracy. We notice lhat ihe San Francisco Times of January 5th reports that the steamer Republic had got aground oa ihe Columbia bur, where she had lain fur a week, and consequently questions the pro priety of running such largo steamers on the Oregon trade. This i a mistake. The Republic got aground in the Columbia river Ikvo Astoria. The water oa the bar is amply sufficient lo float all such steamers as the Republic, and we have often been informed by sea captains, upon first visiting Oregon, that the difficulties attending ihe Oregon trade in consequence of the bar at the mouth of the Columbia had been grossly exaggerated abroad, Ihe captain of (he Helen M. Fiedler from Baltimore assured us that the en trance to Astoria was actually safer than that to New York city. Trouble la Washtagtoa Territory. The P ioneer and Democrat says lhat ihe U.S. Army officers and others, embracing Wm. F. Tolmie, Chief Factor of the Hud son's Bay Company, intprposed nnd pre vented the execution of Le.-chi, the Indian who was under sentence for murder in thai exigency, without calling on Oregon nod California, which are regarded as already having run the Government to too much expense in fighting Indians. A resolution was introduced into the Ilouse Dec. 23, by Mr. Warren of Arkan. sas, requesting the Commiitee on Territo ries to report on the propriety of excluding Beruhisel of Utah from a seat in Con cress. The resolution was adopted, after a good deal of opposition from Boeock of Virginia, Marshall of Kentucky, Boyce and Keiltof South Carolina, and same others. Tub Mormons.

The Legislature of Kansas adjourned on the 17ih Deo., after loving repealed some of the bogus laws ad pass ing a Militia law, providing for a Major General and eight Brigadiers and other officer,, lo forma Military Board, organize and enroll all men subject to military duty. J. II. Lane was elected Major Genera). Secretary Stanton vetoed the bill, which was immediately passed over his head by a two-thirds vole. No steps seem lo have been taken, so far as we can discover, for submitting any Constitution lo Ihe people. A civil wnr has already broken out in Kansas. A correspondent of the N. Y. Tribune 6ays that a gnng of ruffians at Fort Scott, under preiense of collecting taxes, were in the habit of stealing horses, hogs and cattle, to resist which the free State men organized a vigilance commit tee. One man who had stolen a hog was ordered by the vigilance committee lo re place it. Upon this Rev. Mr. Stewart who was acting as a scout for the free Stale party was taken prisoner. The free S'ale men collected to rescue him, when 45 free State men and 70 Missouriaas came in collision, tho latter retreating. The free State men then took up a strong position at Sugar Mound, where ihey were joined by large reinforcements and headed by Lane. At Inst accounts the U. S. ihmm were advancing towards ihem, and were within twelve miles of Lane's camp. Their hence. mission was to arrest Lane. He had called a council of war and was determined to resist the troops if they msde any attack on him. John Calhoun had fled tbe Terri. tory. The Lecompton "Constitution with slavery" was carried by a large majority en the 21st Dee. The vote polled was very light among the actual settlers. Ihe execution had transpired. The excite- ment among the people is said lo have been intense. Indignation meetings were held by the masses, Gov. McMullin joining in them ; and the Legislature, after denounc ing the conduct of those who interfered lo prevent the execution, by resolutions, me morialized Congress in relation lo the matter. their actions, sail in accordance with this basis, it I undeniable thai these self con. stituled usurpers of the popular will, are, by a most notorious course of prescript'on, and by seeking lo re-establish arbitrary anli democratic regulations for party con trel, fast bringing odium and ruin upon ihe faith. Should ihey succeed, despot ism will become established over the peo' pie of Oregon, than which the rsnkesl despotism is preferable Iu. From tho council of this centralized or ganizuiiou, it has been proclaimed lhat the will of the eonniluency shall b disregard ed; that the representative shall obey the dictation of a caucus, in opposition to the instructions of hteconstitueaey ; that if ihe represeaiaiive refuses his allejiieace lo cau cus ia compliance with the instructions ( thes cviisliliients, he shall no- longer be allowed communion with the party ; aaci that his eoiisiiiui'ncy slWII ifiareafirr be ranked as unworthy of fellowship, if they dare to again lrct thai rcpreentaiive to any uflico or position whatever.

By ibis proposed apportion ment great injustice will be dono lo several sterling demouratio counties, for it seeks by procriptive detrao ion from those conn- lies to render them powerless against the control of a few favored coiiniies. And when we reflect iha, in these emtsculaled counties, peopled by a democracy iil less fdiihlul than lhat of any of the favored counties, there are to be found a majority orihose who will not bow to the edicts of ihis oligarchy, it will not be disputed that ik Central Committee, in regard lo these, is tinctured with more of vimlictiveness than even the commission of the parly er. rors with which this junta charge them, would warrant.

Parly governmental rules can be establish ed, altered, or abolished, only by ihe con. sent of the masses, and any usage adopted and in vogue with them, must continue in full form until ihey choose to establish some other in ils stead. This prerogative cannot be wrested from the masses.
