The breach in the Democratic parly is
probably now pant healing. Douglas and
all hit adherents have been read out of the
party by iho Union, prnnsylveiiien, and
other Administration organ, and while
lha Ruchanan ordains claim thai Douglas
lu4 broken down the party in every North,
cro Stnle, the Dottglat papers claim lhal
the Administration by it "foolish and
mean Kamaa policy" hat killed squatter
sovereignty and driven Iho Northern de
mocracy by thousands into the Republican
camp. Tho Buchanan organs denounce
Douglases "traitor," "diorganier,"
V enemy," " freed Jin sbrieker," and 'UUtk
Republican. Those of our readers who
re acquainted with the " coarse' of Czap.
kay't organ toward Col. Kelly and tLe
Nationals, will Imve on a tmull scale an
excellent representation of the means
used by the "national democracy" in
Washington to put down Douglas dumoc
racy there. The bushiies have iu their Sa
lem platform swallowed Buchanan or na
tional democracy head and horns, and the
Eugene City convention has nothing left it
but to either change their name and adopt
Douglas democracy, or swallow Buchanan
Dver again and push him a little lower
down their atomachs than did the busbites.
Those who are trying le be "democrats"
contrary to their own judgment and in vio
lation of iheir conscience, have a bard
road to travel, and we really pity the poor
driven Diggers from the bottom of our
heart. There is no half-way ground bo.
tween the rotten, despoiio national black
democracy and the Union loving Repub
lican parly. To that party every white
roan is bound to go, and he might just as
well go there first as Inst.
. In the mean lime, we are happy to notice
that both the Oiichaiinn aud Douglas or
gans agree that black-democracy is dead in
every Northern Stale. Amen.
C3 Shubiick Norri of Portland has
been appointed Postal Agent for Oregon in
pldce of Thompson, who is said to hav
resigned. The Times puffs Nonia as a
first-rate follow, every way qualified for
the post, which is of c"uro a compliment
over the left with while folks. Every
body knows that our mail facilities are,
wretchedly out of joint. Even the locofoco
organs are making complaints of the pres
ent truly democratic (Latter Day demoo
racy we mean) method of enrrying and
-distributing our mails. We expect no im
provement in iho syttom undor Norri'
manitgeiiient, as we have long since failed
to look for anything in a Lmtcr Day dem
ocrat but faithful attention lo drawing
his pay. if we are agreeably disappointed,
however, wo Miall make a note, of it lo the
credit of Mr. N-, as everybody knows we
urn determined to give even tho ''Devil
Jiis due."
JtW The organs of tho clique are an
mouncing lhat Dihtzoo Smith and Judge
Williams will stump the Territory this
spring in behalf of ihe caucus sovereign
platform. The people way Uk out for
weeping and wailing about the necessity
of keeping up "our party," "saving ihe
Union," tto, dice , while crocodile tears will
roll doan the checks of these two uspirants
io the U. S. Senate, al the prospect of such
a split in the pnrty as will jeopardize their
chances for getting at the U. S. Treasury.
We predict that the consequence ef
these labors of lovn for democratic villainy
on the part of these two aspirants, will be
ihe political death of both of !hem, and
hey eight as well be looking out for
toiches in the same vault where ihe clique
has already stored away the carcasses ol
Curry, Drew, and Lovejey.
03 Lane's Times is overjoyed at the
nomination of Fred Way mire as Senator
from Polk County. It puffs him as " a gen
tleman of proverbial personal and political
integrity" and a man who " has ever been a
model democrat.'1 We believe ourself lhal
excepting perhaps Nesmiib and Ilibben,
Fred ia about as good a "model" for a
Latter Day democrat as we have in Ore.
goa ; hut we fear lhat the "Old Apostle"
will make rather a poor run in such pre
cincts as aro blessed with good schools.
W Kim II look with some interest for the
returns from Monmouth and Bethel pre
cincts. S3 We learn from our friend lie. Mr.
Chandler that he has made arrangements
lo leave thie county aad go lo McMinnville
in Yamhill county, la lake charge of the
institution learning al lhat place. Mr.
Chandler ttas the reputation of being a
good scholar, lie was once President of
a college somewhere in the States. In
addition to hie scholarship, he is a gentle
man f geod talents, aud of sound moral
principle hich cannot be said of all
preachers ra Oregon. We hope he will
prove A great blessing to Yambjll cost'y.

Our a'teutioii has4en called lo the op.
eratiou of one of 0 rover k Baker's Sw.
iig Machines now in the family of Jt' V.
Mr. Atkinson of this cily. The machine
is very simpl in it construe' ion, and can
be innd lo perform the work of more than
half a dozen seamstresses by any ac'ie
gi'l of twelve or fourteen years. The
work it performs cannot beeq1 nhd by any
seamsires for neatness and durability.
V should judge fiem it operation that a
pair of psnialonns could be made on it in
Urns ihan an hour.
Urover ii Baker's machinea are said by
those who are acquainted with the various
patenia to excel all tilers in simplicity and
durability. .While, they cost more than
some others, they seldom getoul of repair,
and are really the cheapest in the long
run. They arnafloided in Boton at fiom
eighty live to ninety-five dollars each, ow
ing lo the finish. The introduction of one
hundred of these machines into Oregon
would supply as great a deficiency of labor
as would the importation ol five hundred
seamstresses. Those people who howled
so pileously last fall about the " want of
female help in the house" as an excuse for
voting for slavery, will now have an op
portunity of "proving- their faith by their
works." Let each one of them buy his
wife a sewing machine. It will cost him
only r.'O or 9125 delivered here, and
when here it will need neither food nor
clothing, will neither poison the family nor
run away, but will do more sewing than
six thousand dollars' worth of wenches.
03 We learn lhat our packages directed
lo Cincinnati have been frequently mis
carried, owing lo a change in the name of
ihe office at Eola. We have corrected iU

probably get their papers regularly. We
are glad lo hear that the Postmaster, Mr.
Waller, has taken much pains lo remedy
ihe evil, by sending after our packages lhat
had passed hit o(lioo and bringing I hem
back. VVa record the aol with pleasure.
It does us a great deal of gord lo find a gen
tleman ameng the democracy, although
the two words are antipodal in meaning
nowadays.

9 The U.S. M.l'amr Panama aril
ved at Portland on Thursday niihi of lsi
week, with dtes from New York lo Feb.
ib. We are indebted lo Dr. Steele of
Ibis dly and Id i, W. Sullivan of Sjh
Franchco for late papers.' The political
news is unusually interesting.
In ihe House, Monday, FA A, after a
protracted sitting of eighteen hours and a
half, the Administration wer defeated on a
reference of Ihe President's Kanas Ms
snj.'c, wi'b the Lrceinptnn constitution, hy
one majority yeas 113, niys 114; the
fullest vole etrr cast in Congress,
I'isst Depkato'thk Adnimistxation.
Ti e adoption of llarri' resolution, rfer
ring the President'a Kanae Meaue lo an
Invii'igating Committee, is a virtual defeat
of lha Administration. The Louisville
Democrat says :
"This ends the Lrcomp'on dodge in ihe
(louse. i will get weaker daily. Ths
who voted fur ihe examination don'l inieud
lo sustain the Iycompt"n Constiiulion.
They intend in prepare the artillery to kill
it, and ihey will do il effectually. By the
lime the wholo thing is espossd, it will
have nofiieiids. The'Lecumptoniies, in
claiming a majority of 21 in the House,
counted their thickens before I bey were
hatched."
Kamsas. The returns from Delaware
Crossing precinct which turn ihe scale in
the late election, and which are repored to
have given over 300 majority for ihe pro
slavery ticket, have been secreted under a
wood pile ia the back-yard of ihe Survey-or-Genersi's
office. They show only
about 40 rotes polled. Thie elects the
whole Free Slate ticket, provided Calhoun
uses the correct returns. He is now in
Washington.
The Washington correspondent of For
ney's Press, a Democratic journal, says;
"Gen. Calhoun visited Judge Douglas
shortly after his arrival. They had a long
conversation, several persona being present.
tl ! J i 7 .1
i lie ungn inquireu in reierence lo me re
turns from Delaware Crossing. Calhoun
made no answer. Before they separated,
the question was ayaia made. Calhoun
replied, that the return had been properly
certified. Judge Douglas then gave him
some sworn evidence en the subject. Cal
houn read and turned pale. About one
o'clock at night, Calhoun sent to Douglas's
bouse that be was convinced there had
been fraud ut Delaware Crossing !J 10
votes being put down, ahere onlv 40 voles
were cast und that he had maiL the cor
rection in the record, with the approval ef
Ihe President. Ue authorized Joriga Dou
glas, Mr. Harris of Illinois, and Gen. Quit
man, lo publi.k this fact."
It is thought by some, that while ihe
Administration assures Northern Dime
cratsthnt Calhoun will issue certificates to
ihe Free State candidates in Kansrs, in case
Lecompton goes through Congress, that
functionary (Calhoun) will keep his prom
ies to the Southern men here, and give the
Legiluture lo the Pro-Slavery candidates,
or at least to ihe Stnte officers. Nal. Era.
Gov. Wise is out with another long let.
ler denouncing the Lecompton iniquity.
On the evening ef the 13th Feb. the
Democratic members of the House held a
caucus in the Represents lives hall. They
had a very stormy meeting. Fifty four
members were present, among them sev
eral Anii-Lecoinptanites. After a good
denl of palaver, Mr. Clark ef Missouri said
thai there wa no use in beating about the
bush any longer. The question really be
fore the caucus was " Lecompton," and
they must decide whether or not those
who opposed iho Lecompton Constitution
should be allowed lo remain in the party.
Upon this there was a flare up. Mr.
Montgomery of Pennxylvaiuia denounced
Lecompton in strong terms, and protested
ngaiti!t it as ruinous to the Democratic
party. Mr. Burksdale of Misist.ippi said
that tho Ami. Lecompton Democrats were
followers nf Gov. Banks. Mr. Cot f Ohio
replied thai they followed another Gov
ernor, viz: Wise.
Mr. Cakie and other Virginians there
upon pitched into Gov. Wise right and
left.
After a great deal of noise and confusion,
the proceedings .terminated with a speech
by Mr, Marshall of Illinois, who protested
against making Lecompton a test of Dem
ocracy. Aa for himself, he represented
the strongest Democratic District in the
United States a District which had given
ihe largest majority for Buchanan. Sup
pose it should turn outlast a majority of
the Democratic parly were opposed lo Le
compton who then would be read out of
lhat parly He was an old Democrat, and
did not want to be read out of ihe party
by men who had so lately entered it that
they were hardly dry behind the ears.
The split in the Democratic party is con
sidered irreparable. Arrangements are
said lobe in progress for Ihe formation of a
great Ami Lecompton party. The com
ing struggle will lend to fuse the as yet dis
tinct elements'into one.
Reports concerning the prospects of the
Lecompton Constitution in Congress vary
from day to day, from correspondent, lo cor
respondent. One thing seems certain:
here will be a long fight and a bard fight
in both Houses of Congress, and whatever
the final result, tlm people will have light
upon the Kansas question before Ihe discus
sion is over.
03 No sooner is the Administration
" floored" in the North, than we hear of " a
kick back" in a quarter whence bl.iws
were certainly least expected. A series ef
resolutions, endorsing the Administration,
which wr introduced into the lower
branch of the Alabama Legislature some
lime back, and referred to the Committee
on Federal Relations, n see were reported
back on Friday last, wiib the opinion of
Ihe Committee "Hist il was inexpedient to
le psss I hem." The llue concurred in
the report by a vote of 75 to 5.

little- circumstance ef the nighl sesaion is
worth mentioning, even al ibis late date.
When an adjournment was moved after the
fight, Crawford, from Georgia, said" When
this House adjourns, let H be to meet no
more." "I second that," said McQueen,
from South Carolina. Yet these two gen
tlemen quietly agreed lo an adjournment
four hours later, and have been in their
seats at usual. Wuihinglon Ltlltr,

If that is all the Southerners propose la

03 The Maysville (Ky.) Eagle says of
the Lecompton constitution :
'The Consli.uiion lhal ia now being
forced on the people of Kansas, is a cheat
and a swindle, and ihey have so denounced
il by their voices legally and fairly express
ed at the polls and if therefore any man
given his support lo the measure advocated
by Buchanan's Message, he does so sn it Is a
full knowledge of the manner in which the
rascally concern has been made successful
thus far."
A Contradiction. The Washington
correspondent of ihe Philadelphia Press
says that Mr. Bernhisel, the Utah delegate,
gives a flat contradiction to the rumor that
he has made any preposition tethe Presi
dent, or anybody ele, lhat ihe Mormons
should be allowed peaceably to remove to
some Mimd in ihe Pacific. Even if t'ie
rumor were true, there is not an island in
the Pacifio Ocean capable of occupancy,
which is net covered hy some sovereignty,
which must be taken into consideration in
this matter, before any action i taken by
this Government, and it is hardly probable
lhat other nations will care to have re.
moved into their mid.l an evil which ha
given us a great dea! of trouble.
03 IWi. II. C. Kimball, Mormon El
der, made an " able and eloquent" speech
in ihe Salt Lake Tabernacle, November 8th,
1857, opening with the following striking
and polished paragraph, as w read in the
verbatim report :
" I am almost a good mind to talk a little
thill ia, if yu waul I should, hul 1 cer.
lainly do not waul to without you waul 1
