Del ion drummed up forces at Alba ny on (lie 27'h ult., and they had a very interesting lime of il. From the "pro ceedings" published in hit o'gan, and from dilirial information I hat there it much more of ihe fame lot crowded out fur want of room, we judge Dulaztn musi have brought his saddlebags full uf manuscript, beside having all hie pockets stuffed with original democratic malter. Of course he didn't present all the resolutions himself they were parceled out among the faithful, who were allowed tlio honor of offering them. The man who saw the "ikuner bottem up," we presume had committed his Goring to memory, so as to go through the motions of reading his resolution as he offered il. We are not able of course to give the whole platform as laid down Hi that meet Jag, Inl we cannot forbear giving the three sprincipal plankx, at llipy really couiniu the "fundamental principle" of bushism, as supported in this and oilier counties by the caucus-sovereignites. IJtsro is the flaming sword ibr.t standi up on the head of the beast to guard the way into the democratic fold, and defend the Union : "Resolved, Thnt the courso of the -aforesaid 'Standard,' under tlio auspices of it newly imported conductor, dues not rise to the dignity of treason, since il teas, fur years, mi opposition concern, be fur the stranger who uuw writes fur it was negoti ated with by the arch political disorgan ize of the Teniiory ; and since the rice water discharges of the present print are but ilia excrescences and unclcuu issues of apostate LeluiiiJihin diluted." Here comes tlio grent horn of power that gives dignity to ll.e beast, and ren ders it foiky and lorrihln by great swelling words. This hum il will bo seen is stick ing out toward Washington, " inertly to nvo tho Union": " Resolved, That this Convention docs hot instruct the Delegates, this day ap pointed, to present iho name of miy one of her citizens before the foithcoming State Convention for nomination for any office lo In filled ul the Juno eh-ction. lint we (dial! reserve the namo of our much es teemed democratic fi How citizen, the Hon.

Lastly and leastly comes the little horn. Let all the caucus-sovereign democrats take off their bat as ihey listen lo what ill has to y in behalf of the Union. This horn Is to the Linn county horn w hat the dull baby is to the Wizard Martin. Tho great horn makes it talk and cry merely by the power of democratic ven triloquism. The Wizard Martin' per formances on Ihe whole furnish a splendid solution to the jugglery of clique demo. .racy. ISut here is the horn : "Resolved, That as the hydra-headed opposition to tho democratic party have continually insulted iwo thirds of the peo. pie of the Territory, for the five or six years last pail, by declaring that they were 'led,' 'governed' and 'controlled' by ' fac tion,' 'a clique,' an 'oligaichy,' the 'States man,' Ac ; and since ihe same heterogvni ous opposition hare ' undertaken lo de.

The President' prnposiiion to increa) ihe regular army with fivedditinl regi ment, ws voted down in the Senai by 39 lo 8. The debates show an aversion by Senator generally to tn increase of the army under present circumstances. Tho Mormon war spirit i rather weak in Con press, aud the opinion seems to be popular that th war can be carried on effectually with what furcr are already available- in the regular service, if indeed there prove l'i be any Moinion war. Beriihh), ihe Delegate fiom Utah, has had several con ferenees wiih the I'residf nt, trying to sell out the Mormon improvement in Utah to the U.S. Government, with the promise that the Mormons leave in the spring for some of the Pacific island. There is a proposition before Congress In send com missioners lo Utah to treat with Drigham lo this effect. In the mean lime, some two thousand roldiers will be withdrawn from oilier staiions, and sent out to reinforce Col. Johnston's command. Johnston has lost all hi animals, and must have an other supply before he moves toward Salt Lake. The movement it is said caunnt b made before next June or July. Before that lime, some arrangements will be made with the Mormons, or Rrighain will be out of the way and the Mormon war will turn out a fizzle. Much money will be spent, but no blood shed. . If Congress had agreed lo the President's proposal to increase ihe army, Gen Sco'l was to have gunu immediately lo California tosupcrin lend the organization of a force lo proceed against Salt Lake in I ho spring hul when the Senate vole was taken, the piojcct was abandoned. Kansas. Tho total vote on the Le compton constitution on ihe 21st of be cember, as reported officially by Calheun, is as fullows : Constitution with Slavery, 0,003 Constitution wjthoul Slavery, 570 Of this vote, about 4,000 are cither bo gus or fraudulent. The real vote thrown belonging to the Teniiory is not over 250!). The fameus Oxford precinct, with less 'ban 100 actual voters, cast 1,!?G0 votes. The dentrlij populated county of McGee, in the southeastern purl of the Tcrrimrv. which last summer cast more than 1,200 voles, gave only 34 at this election, one of them being for the constitution without lavery. The poll books from the Kicku. poo precinct contain the names of James Ruchitnan, W. H. Seward, T. F. Marshal!, J. C. Fremont, Thomas II. Henion, Hor ace Greeley, and J. W. Denver, Governor of Kansas, who had reached ihe Territory only 'he day before, and was fifty miles from Kicku poo on the day of voting. This is nearly equal lo the ''democratic returns" from Johnson county which were thrown out by Gov. Walker because the poll books contained the names of ubsut 1,200 persons copied in alphabetical order and word for word from a Cincinnati M rectory, among which was thai of Gov. Chase of Ohio. The vote on the 4th of January, provi. ded for by tho Territorial Legislature, ro suited as follows : Constitution w ith slavery, 3s Constitution without slavery, 24 Aguinsi the Constitution, 10,220 with a few precincts to hear from. There was also a vote taken on the 4th of January under the Lecompton constitu tion for Slate officers. The Lecompton constitution required that tho returns be made to Calhoun. At this eleclion, as we have before stated, the Free State men in convention assembled resolved by quite a majority not to vote, for the reasons that they had no right lo believe that the con stiluiion which had not been submitted to the people by the framers of it would be accepted by Congress in face of ihe over whelming majority that ihey exacted lo give against it on the 4th of January, un der provisions made by the Legislature, supported by Gov, Stonton. They also thought it useless lo go into a vote in com petition with a parly which had already carried every measure by gross fraud, and which now had the wires all laid lo defeat the Free Slate rote, no matter how largo. A part of the Free State men, how. ever, thought best lo vole, and got up a Siato ticket. The result uf this vote stood a fullows for Governor, which ran much Ihe same for all the other Slate officers: rER STATK. DR.MOCRATIC- O. W. Smith, 6,875 F.J. Marshall, 6,545 The Legislature stood : Ssnatk Free Slate, 13 Pro Slavery or Democratic, 6 House ' Free Slate, 29 . Pro Slavery, or Democratic, 15 - Gov.

Th presiilinji officer nf both branches of the Ltisl lure, who had been invited by Calhoun to assist in counting the returns, sL'iied the certificate with Gov. Denver. Cxllmun disputed, and threw out all the vote polled in conformity wlih the provi-luiis of the Legislature, giving the pro-slavery or democratic Stain ticket i majority, and electing on mejuriiy in the Senate, while the lower lions wa tied thus giving the " demncrncy " one majority 011 joint ballot, and securing his (Calhoun's) election t Ihe U.S. Senate. The Lecompton con aii'ution has already been forwarded lo Washington, and Buchanan lias tent il in to the Senate with a lengthy message urg ing its adoption. The Administration has counted noses, and i sanguine of success. The classification of the Senate's vote i mad up by the Tribune's cor respondeat a fullows : For Lecomphn Allen.

The Correspondent of the New Yoik Courier 61 Enquirer estimates a majority of five certainly for the Lecompton LWiiiu lion in the Lower House. Twenty-five democrats have avowed their determination lo resist it, nnd act w iih the Republicans in giving the people of Kansas a fair vote on their const iiution. Rhode Island, Ohio, New Jersey, and Iowa have lately instruc ted their Senators through ihtir Legisla tures 10 oppose lite Lecompton constitution, while Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama, and Texas are making threatening disunion demonstrations if Kansas is not admitted un der it. The Legislature of Virginia isagainst Wise- for his Tammany Hall letter, but Wise sticks to his position and threatens lo stump the State to carry the democracy with him. His plan, as will bn seen in a sl.ort snide on tho outside of this in per, is the mist sensible and just and effectual of any offered by the northern democracy il is virtually to regard the will of the people as expressed by the people on the 4lhJan- uaty. 03r Jo Lane presented i lie Oregon con. stilutinn lo Congress Feb. 1.

The prospect is thai the officials in town will have to do all ihe business, as the precinct meetings lust Saturday proved a failure. In Linn City precinct only four nltended (besides one opposition spectator), and the meeting broke up in a row without doing nny busi ness. In Lower Mululln precinct there were only two persons present (both be longing lo ihe opposition). They called the meeting to order one took- the chair and the other acted as secretary and ap pointed each other delegates lo the county convention. I liese two precincts furnish a pretty fair specimen of the "enthusiasm" manifested in all the other precincts we have heard from.

The New York Journal of Commerc publishes an interesting account of the preparations of the Secretary of War to reinforce the army in Utah, from which wf make the following extract : " A detach melit will probubly be sent from New York in the course of the next fortnight first to Jefferson Barrack, there lo be drilled, and gel into fighting order, nnd will thence h moved to Fori Leavenworth, where ihey til I .

The additional force will number over 2.700 men, which, with the (aboui) 2,00(1 ulreiidy in the Territory, will make up an army Urgo enough to bring the rebellious fanatics to terms. Gen.
