la this city upon receipt of the nowi,

Wo wtro not prcscut (nt we would have

our abtenco waa aonir whnlcompen'itlcd for

manner. The praise of theto orator is in
the mouth of all (he " Imrdi."
t3T The San Francisco Ilrrald exult
Over the probable admission of Oregon, and
kindly suggests that " CJencrr.1 Lane and
General AJuir" be selected as Seualori.
It tayi :
" lie Adair has during his residence in
tho Territory never made an enemy ; nnd
as ho Is acceptable to nil parties, bis election
to the responsible position in connection
with which his nnmo has been mentioned
nay bo looked upon with some degree of
certainty. With dencral Lnno (fur his
election is regarded by tlioso who nre con
vorsnnt with Oregon politics as n moral cer
tainty) and Gene, nil Adair to represent (hem
in tho Senate of I lie Uuited States, the
people of Oregon may rest assured that
their interests will be attended to faithfully
end energetically."
Tho idea that General Adair, n rabid
pro-slavery man, would be " acceplublo to
nil parlies'' here, is somewhat amusing.
Tho " hards," who have a majority in the
Legislature, will hardly select Sennlors with
a view to their " acceptability"-to "nil
parties." If, however, they huvo any do.
siro to know who of nil their asplrnntb
would bo most " acceptable" to Republi
cans, wo venture to suggest that it makes
no sort of diflerenco what particular 'hards'
they select whether Jo Lnno, Judo Wil.
Hums, Dclazon Smith, Adair, Guthrie, or
Dolf llunnali. Any of them will bo cer
tain to cat dirt in such quality nnd quan
tity os may bo deemed necessary by tho
Administration to "save the Union."
A Paragraph for tub "Times." Now
tho election is over, we hope (hut the Or
egon Weekly Times will mid some leisure
todevoto ton revision of its vocabulary.
Tho horriblo butchery to which nil lan
guages nro subjected by this literary Sepoy,
this (ilibustoiing intruder upon tho do
mains of Murray and Wcbslor is per
fectly shoukirg lo the nervous system of
tlio intelligent reader. Just think of such
Latin (?) phrases as "multim imjiano,"
and " ex graliadcus," nnd such nttompls at
English as "nil enrolled copy of tho Con
stitution," " tho reverse power than that of
a kind Providence;" andeueh uncouth and
unheard of phrases ns "n role of contrib
utors," "an Ituliun laztaroni," " the alh
hies (quory shoulder-hitters?) of the De
mocratic pnrly," etc., &c., in which every
number of tho Times ubnunds. A polio I
what a "blind leader of tho blind 1"
Jacksonville Herald. '
It seems very strange to us that tho
Herald, boing nn organ of the snmo ballot-box-stuffing,
shoulder hitting, pro slavery,
and boidor-rufiioii democracy with tho
Times, should fall out with puro demo
cratic literature. We have nlwnj-s thought
tho Times to bo one of the most consistent
democratic pnpers that we know of, for the
reason that its " lioglutin," "Mormon
Italian," African English, jumbled into nn
editorial hotchpotch, always nppenrs to us
to be in good keeping with the general cha
racter of n democratic paper whoso only
avocation consists in suppressing truth, ut
tering falsehoods, sneering at virtue, ap
plauding fraud and villainy, and a persist
ent efl'orl to make low dung puppyism hon
orable by electing it to office. Such is
really the business of every "democratic"
paper In tho Union (excepting 'perhaps the
louglas organs, which have so modified
their tono that they are now denounced as
" black republican"), and we really think
the Times is exceedingly felicitous in couch
ing its democratic sentiments and instiuks
in tho purest stylo of the until im Indiana

JlT The California papers by the last
steamer givo accounts of nn almost tin-licnrd-of
oxodus from that Stalo to tho Fra
iiior'a rivor miues. There aro five steam
ers ond sovcral sail vessels running regu
larly to Nottingham Hay. About sixteen
thousand persons nre said te have already
shipped for the new diggings. Miners in
California nre selling their claims at a great
sacrifice, or giving them away, in order to
raisonn outfit. Mr. Davis, who is just up
from California, informs us that one mun
sold town property worth eight hundred
dollars for fifty, and joined the crusade.
QO Tho last Standard contains an ex
tract written by some one, whoso name is
not given, who had talked with persons
who related that one man, Kerrison, had
taken out over Si) 000 in gold in less than
a month in tho new mines. Emerson and
Hicks had come in to the settlements with
(3,000 each. These stories must be taken
with tho usual number of "grains of allow

Wo notico that one of our cotcmporariea,
which Im Liiberlo seemed lo revel In
bloody Indian news, and Las in imagina
tion teen ilia whole mountain tops lurid
with tho inceudiary torch of "tho rod
devils" for the Inst three years, hi been
placed between tho two horns of a sad di
lemma cither to still cry "bloody mur.
der," "Indian outbreak," cVc, at tho ox
pense of a heavy trado that might spring
up with California miners til route for tho
new mines by way of Portland and the
Dulles, or elso crack up the advantages of
tho Dalles route, nt lb expenso of sudden
ly "drying up" that old favorite blubber
about Indian hostilities.
Between the two horns of this terrible
dilemma our cotcmporary is just now rest
ing, not having decided as yet wliich ' horn'
will " pay" best.
tO" There appears to be tenfold more
excitement in California about the Fra
tier's river mines than there is in Oregon.
Up to this date, but comparatively few have
kft this section, and the probability Is that
a general rush will not be made till after
harvest, when something more certain w ill
bo known as to the "prospects." Orego
nians have been so often humbugged thnt
it behooves them to lake gold uows coolly
and in moderate doses.
XiA Several companies have lately
started to the new mines by way of tho
Dalles, and it is said there is liUlo danger
from the Indians, provided twenty men or
moro go in n company. Tho terrible
hu'lubaloo lately raised by some- of the
excitablo and injudicious editors obout In
dian outbreaks, has already turned the
whole tide of tho California geld. seeking
emigration by way of I'uget Sound.
teT Professor Caiy, who has for some
limo been successfully developing astro
nomical science by lectures and exhibitions
throughout the couutry called on us last
Thursday in company with Lis son Frank,
who accompanies tho exercises with sing
ing and performances on lliu violin. Mr.
Cary is now en route for tho country eu
the west sido ef the Willamctio river, and
intends to visit Washington, Yamhill, nnd
Polk counties. Since his lecture here lie
has entirely changed the programme of exer
cises, nnd is now lecturing upon a new
and improved plan. IIq has also enlarged
his selection of astronomical and oilier inter
esting views for the mngio lantern by tho
addition of a variety of Scripture represen
tations reaching from the Flood down to
tho Crucifixion.
Thcso lectures are calculated to render
an equivalent fur tho money paid, in the
way of real and useful information, hence
t lie general interest manifested in them.
Wo a'tended one of these lectures and tho
only thing wo Lad to regret was that more
time, was not allowed the lecturer for the
development of matters thnt ought to have
occupied three evenings at least, instend of
being crowded into the short compass ef a
single effort. It would bo bettor for each
class to pay three dollars each for three lec
tures than one dollar for a singlo one.
Ctr The uarrow-souled practice of sev
eral Oregon journals for years p ist, of abu
sing Californinns as a raco of cut throats
nnd spendthrifts, nnd more than intimating
thai wo wanted no.no of thorn .here, has
tended to prejudice good men in that Slate
against us, and prevent an immigration
thnt wo might otherwise have had. Add
to this tho effect of an almost constant
howl which is kept up by half crazed scrib
biers rampant for startling news items,
about our constant dangers from tho bloody
savages, nnd we nt onco seo a very promi
ncut cnuso of our slow increase in popu
lation. 03" Au Indian child ubout two years
old fell off tho bluff back of this city last
Saturday, and was precipitated head fore
most some sixty feet upon the rocks below,
severely fracturing its skull, and causing its
death in about two hours. The Indian
lodge stood upon the bluff somo sixty feet
back of the precipice, nnd tho child was
not discovered till it was upon tho very
brink of the chasm, over which it plunged
at tho very moment its mother ondenvorcd
to grasp it. Upon seeing her babe dashed
upon the rocks far below her, she set up a
scream that aroused tho wholo city. No
thing coulJ exceed the poignancy of her
grief as exhibited in frantic gestures, howls,
and shrieks, as sho danced upon tho very
edge of tho projecting rocks, nnd repoated
in a voico that could be heard hulf a mile,
" Iskum itika leitus! istum niia Unas!"
(get my baby I get my baby !) The child
was taken up by a kind-hearted Indian
who chanced in town mid ran with nearly
fifty whito men to the rescuo. We passed
the Indian lodge two days after tho acci
dent, and saw four or five squaws sitting
around tho corpse of the bnby, and sending
up nn unbroken chorus of w ailing that sat
isfied us of the strength of a mother's love
in even the breast of a poor untutored
squaw, While we deeply commiserated
their misfortunes, we couldn't help thanking
God for tho promise of that sunny land
where the heart strings of affection will no
more be rudely snapped asunder in the
dwelling of the white man or the hut of the
poor savage.
KrThe rain has fallen in torrents at
pretty regular intervals during most ef
this week. The result of course will be a
very heavy crop of grass, grain, and vegetables.

Passago of tho Oregon Bill
through the Scnato I
Washington, May 18, 1858.
Mr. Douglas, of III., moved that the Or
egon bill be takoa up, upon which motion
tho yeas and nays wero oallcd for.
The vote being 28 against 28, tho chair
(Mr. Hreckenridge) votod affirmatively ;
consequently tho bill was beforo I he
Senate.
The ponding motion was Mr. Trumbull's
that tho consideration bo postponed till
December next.
Mr. Fitzpalrick, of Ala., spoko in favor
of the postponement, in order that an ena
bling act may be passed and a census
taken.
Mr. Gwin, of Cal., warmly urged Lor
immediate admission, and referred to the
poll books to show thut Oregon has ample
population, aud is able to maintain a Stalo
government. Referring to the clause in
hor constitution prohibiting Chinamen
from voting, Mr. Gwin defended it on the
ground that the Chinese aro a pestiferous
degraded, slavish raco, and that many of
them are tho slaves of matters in China.
They take away tlio gold while contrib
uting nothing lo tho industry of the coun
try. In California their evidence is not re
ceived in tho courts of law. They are
not citizens of the Uuited States, and Or.
cgon has done rightly iu rejecting both
Chinese and negroos.
Mr. Douglas, of III., replied that every
step in the formation of her constitution
and application for admission was legally
submitted and ratified by a majority of the
peoplo of Oregon. Why then should she
not be admitted t Simply becauso she Las
net the requisite population t Ho believed
that Oregon Lad moro population than
Kansas. He might not think she had
moro than ninety-three thousand popula
tion now, but ho did not believe she would
have it in December. It would be belter,
tbercforo to test the admission by a direct
vole, for the motion to postpone lo Decem
ber is nearly equivalent to keeping her out.
no was opposed to drawing distinctions
between these two inchoate Stules of Or-t
egon and Kansas; opposed to saying that
one has a right to come in without suffi
cient population and an enabling act, and
that the other shall not. Oregon has ful
filled every rcquirmcnt specified in the
President's Message. She is prepared to
come in, nnd Las submitted every step of
that preparation fairly lo the people, and
has avoided evory one of her informalities
which were urged asnn insuperablo objec
tion to the admission of Kansas. Put
these two inchoate States on an equality,
and he (Douglas) was ready for the gen
eral rule which he Lad struggled for for
years, that in future all now States must
have the requisite population, nnd to en
force thnt rule strictly in all coming timo
It is unjus;t to tho peoplo of Oregon to
keep them in suspense, unaware of their
condition, whe'.hor they are lo be admitted
or not. With reference to tho oilier sub
jects introduced into debate, he enred noth
ing. The sovereignty of a State has a
right to exclude Chinamen if disposed to
exclude them, and so with free nrgroes,
and so with slavery. The Slate has a
right to admit or exclude them, and
Mr. Douglas denied the right of Congress
to decide on that question of policy.
When a State comes for admission shu lias
a right to come with any constitution that
does not violate the Constitution of the
United Stales.
Mr. Hale, of N. II., said a few words re
specting treaty obligations with the Chi
nese Mr. Trumbull, of 111., argued that Kan-
sas being admitted to pacify tho nation,
which was on the verge of civil war, there
was no reason why tho rule should be re
laxed in favor of Oregon.
Mr. Douglas replied If admission on
easy terms was held out as the rewaid of
rebellion, Oregon could resort to that as
well as another: but the Oregonians are
a law abiding people, and for that very
reason if for no other, should have the re
strictions relaxed. The important interests
of tho Pacific slope required more repre-
sentatives in Congress.
Mr. Seward, of N. Y., protested against
making the admission of Oregon depend
ent upon the analogy betwen it and an
other Slate. He was determined on voting
for its present admission, apart from ihe
question of its being a free State, by the
fact that geographically and politically Or
egon is indispensable to the completion and
rounding off of this republic. It is just as
indispensable to the completion of the Un
ion as New York or Louisiana. We have
struggled too long to get it, and have cher
ished it too much to permit it to pass under
the influence of Great Britain or Russia.
Every man knows that it is to be admitted
some day now or sometime hence.
What is to prevent it now 1 Senators say
she Las not one Lundrcd thousand popula
tion. Well, what of that 1 The motion
to postpone till December next implies that
she will then have the requisite population.
Is the delay till then te risk the embarrass-
ng circumstances, and probably a post
ponement for another year from the multi
plicity of business during the short session ?
Oregon is ready for admission. She has
fulfilled all the requirements, a further de
lay appears te be trifling with Ler people,
besides being calculated to convey distrust
to the public mind. Mr. Seward favored
the admission of Territories into the cm
inunity of States as soon as they wore fit-
led for it, and said that tho sooner th'y
become Stales the moro healthful aud vig
orous they will bo.
Mr. King, of N. Y., would vote fur the
bill, although perhaps tho population was
not sufficient. Referring to ihe Oregon
constitution, Lo said tho disabilities im
posed on frco blacks are too stringent, but
ho himself waa against too many frco
blacks in a Slate. It was for lha benefit
of both racos dial the black and while ra
cos should livo separate. Mr. King rend a
letter from a colored man on tho subject
of tlio establishment of a colored colony in
South or Contral America, lie agreed
in this view, and lie considered that a
black colony in Central America, receiv
ing aid and protection from this
Government, would moot the inter
ests of both racoa. The blacks Lave a
prejudice against Liberia. Ho had learn
ed thnt ihe colored population had been
considering (he conditions, which made it
difficult fur them lo act in the mailer. He
would not suggest any means by which
their movement could bo carried out. It
was for the Slatea interested to take slops
in the matter, and Lo would glvo what sup.
port he could to nny proposition having
a practical form. Misssouri, perhaps, was
the locality in which it could bo best con
sidered, as a sentiment existed I hero to
ward emancipation.
Mr. Greer, of Mo , knew that tho feeling
of emancipation did not exist in Missouri,
except to a most limited extent among a
few individuals. I In knew the object of
this movement of the Senator fiom New
Yerk, nnd desired to meet it on ihe thresh
hold. It was intended to stir up and fan
the flames of discord to sond not peace,
but a sword. The sentiment ef Misseuri
was in favor of peace, but nol of emancipa
tion. .Slave lubor is profnnble therein, and
tho number of slaves has increased.
Somo further remarks were made, after
which the postponement till December was
loi by a voto of 38 against 10.
The bill was then reported, without
amendment, except unimportant, verbal
ones, nnd finally passed by a vo'e of 35
against 17. The following is the vote:
