. 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.
Jhdnzon Smith, (who is fully identified
with and w ho thoroughly understands the

people of Oregon who is abundantly ii'de
1o vindicate the one and conserve the oth
erand w ho has done soldier's duty in the
cause of tho demunratia parly,) as our
-choioo for onn of the United Suites Semi

his election, we have every assurance the
best exertions of the democratic masses ol
this county will be promptly and energet

trunscf-nding our own rijjhis, or doing in
justice to any man of coorsd we hold
ourselves in readiness lo acquiesce in the
fairly exprsed will of n majority of the
genuine democracy of ihe Territory."
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

The new from the Slates is quite in
terestirijt. 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 :

- Gov. Denver, who was specially charged
by Buchanan to recognize the vote of Jan.
4th, and'se I li at' 1 fie people bad a fair
chance to express their will, stationed de
tachmente of the regular force at the poll
along the Misonri border on !n eJajr of '
lection, aud after the eleclion was over
counted the returns, and officially certified
the result as given above. 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 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.

The democacy are so much absorbed in

OCT While there is apparently a large

t3T TI11 bushites hold their county con
vention in this city to. day. 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. Will Delazon come
down nnd blow that " bshy. waking" Mun
chausen trumpet of his?
toZT W had the pleasure of making the
acquaintance of Cul. T'Vault of the Sen
tinel thia week, who is below, and called on

ing an old pioneer, has stronger claims
