Curry's message to the Legislature which met at Salem lust week. It la very long, and contains fever matter of interest tlmn any message we ever read. The Governor recommends the Legislature to memorialize Congress In be half of a Pacific Railroad, and recommends an appropriation to pay a small tody of vol unteers he called out lust spring to punish a ' few renegndo Indinns' who ' killed two cit izeni, and commiUed otiier liost'le acts, and occasioned much alarm and uneasiness to the settlers in the vicinity of this country generally' (?) He recommends more am ple provisions for the Insane, 'a class of in dividuals unfortunately increasing in our midst,' and calls attention to the necessity ot some provision for keeping our Territo rial Ore-arms, and the public records In the offices of the Adjutant and Quartet-muster General. The Governor also felicitates the Legislature upon the success of the Atlan tic Telegraph congratulates them that Washington and a part of this Territory bavo been formed into a distinct military district, and that Middle Oregon has been opened to settlement tells them that the war debt ought to be paid, and informs them that he shall muke no more requisi tions upon the Governor of California for fugitives from Justice till the Legislature of that State authorizes their Governor to de liver up snch characters. The rest of the message is devoted al most entirely to the subject of the relations ' between the General Government and the Territories. The Governor labors this matter terribly, and raises such u demo cratic fog that we lose sight of -the Gov ernor, he loses sight of his subject, and the Legislature must hnre lost sight of every thing except the huge bundle of manuscript ia the bands of the Clerk, who, with about as definite an idea of what the Governor, who hod swelled himself into the portly di mensions of a 1 statesman,' was driving at, as though the message had been written in the Celestial dialect. Tho Legislators of course yawned thought it was us clear as mud, and profoundly democrutici Out of all the lumber and verbiage of two mortal columns, we think we sec tho drill of the Governor to be to givo his prlvnlo opinjon that all Territorial governments heretofore organized by Congress nre unconstitutional, and that the people of the Territories ought to be left entirely free to nmke their owl) orgauic acta aw, eject their ownufliccrs. From the time such a sovereign Territory acts a government on foot to the dtty it Is admitted Into the Union, it exist as what the Governor is pleased to cull uu ' incipi ent State.' Here the Governor gets terri bly verbose, if neither eloquent uor lucid, and one seeing him holding up his own be gotten bantling and expatiating upon tho perfections of his ' incipient State' before the august Legislative body, niter the sen sation produced by his terrible sereum of Eureka.' had subsided, would imagine that his doll-baby was reully a more tlmn full- grown personage, of portly dimensions and well-developed nerves and muscles that his Incipient State' was really something more than one of tho sovereign States of the Union. Indeed, we have no doubt that it appeared thus to the Governor, who, what with the democratic fog and tho par tial blindness superiuduccd by his strain to give it birth, had becomo somewhat flab bergasted with tho magnitude of his con ception, and who, like Archimedes, who, tipon having the idea of specific gravity pop into his head while bushing, jumped out of his buth and run stark nuked through the city, screaming, 'Eureka! L'ureka!' felt much disposed to make a similar exhibi tion of himself to tho Snlemites on his way to the Legislative hulls, with his brtchcs in ono hand and his ' incipient State rng-aud-bran baby In the other. But, unfortu nately for the Governor, and most fortu nately for such statesmen as Washington, Jefferson, Mudison, Clay, Webster, Cal houn, Jackson, and even Douglas and the 'conservative Mr. Bew-chanun,' bis idol, with all his stitching, had a terrible rent in the scat, from whence the bran oozed out as the Clerk held it up to the astonished gaze of such democrats as ' Dolf,' causing a slight tittering among the Opposition. Here is the rent. In speaking of these ' incipient States,' the Governor says: " I claim for these states no rights of ab solute or independent sovereignty. They are as responsible to the federal govern ment in every essential particular, as they would be under a congressional act of or ganization. And when they are progress ing in their social and political development towards the period when they shall be fit ted for membership In the confederation of sovereignties, they are eutitlcd to the fos tering care of the parent government, in the extension of such laws, policies and sys tems as may be best calculated to promote their welfare and prosperity, and hasten the period when they may be qualified to as same the powers of sovereign states." .- Here the Governor, recollecting that his 'incipient State must needs retain some re lation of dependency to the General Gov ernment, in order to having iu drafts on the V. S. Treasury for 'incipient State ex penses honored (if the people bare to foot ' the bills the Governor knows that his ' in cipient State wouldn't be as popular as that of a Territory) concedes the fact that such a government Is not only ' as retponti lie to (hi General Government in itery ti. tential particular a they would U under a Congressional act of organization,' but has the right to claim the Interference (he calls it tho ' fostering care) of the General Gov ernment In the 'tttnsion of such laws, policies, and systems as may be best calcu lated lo secure the public good.' Of course Congress ' is to lo the judge a to what laws, policies and systems' arc ' best cal culated to secure tho public good and which are on that account lo undergo the operation of ' extension' over tho ' incipient' community. The Governor's 'incipient State tln fizzles ont to be really nothing more than a Territory with the Ordinance of '61 ' extended' over it, perhaps, for the public good.' Like King the Joiner, who, In the play of Pyramus and Thisbo, jiersoii ales tho lion, but tells the audit nee that when you hear him roar you may know he Is not a lion, bnt merely Snug the Joiner, our Governor tells us that the great sover eign incipient State isn't a State after nil, but merely a Territory, and partially gov erned by Congressional intervention at that. ' We hojK) that the Legislature won't dis solve our Territorial government mid launch upon the Governor's ' incipient State pol icy, before they hear from Jo Lane tiny how. In. the meantime, if Gov. Curry must give vent to his rage at our being still kept In a Territorial condition by the influ ence of his friend Jo Lane as be wouldn't dare to give vent to il by voting against the men who have kept ns out of the Un ionwe advise him to do so by tearing a board off of somebody's pig-pen. ' ' Doible-babr.:lko. Gov, Curry's mes sage contains two terrible shots at the two most democratic boUies In the States. Here is one broadside at the Border-Ruffian Democracy that went over to Kansas to vote: " Among them fOregoninns there has been no senseless rabble to violate the laws, or fanatical excitement to engross the at tention of Congress, to the exclusion of the legitimate and more important business of the nation." . That was well put in ; but here is a close shot at the scctioual democracy In Wash ington City : " Already a powerful political party in the country is contending for a principle which, if acknowledged, would carry with it the absolute sovereignty of Congress over the Territories, the subversion of independ ence, rights which arc guarantied to every citizen of the United States, and the conse quent utter violation of the Constitution, and the probable disruption of the Union." The Governor here of course alludes to the party in Congress, which, by trying to force Calhoun's Lccompton Constitution upon the people of Kansas, and by other acts of oppression, which caused Gov. Walker of Kansas to denominate the Ad ministration a " Monarchy," tried to estab lish tho " absolute sovereignty of Congress over the Territories," " subvert their inde pendence" by " violating tho Constitution at the cost of a probable disruption of tho Union." Well, that is just what Gov. Walker, another 'democratic' Governor, charged the party with, and we are glad to see Gov. Curry borrowing and endorsing the idea. The Governor hasn't, however, probably read the news from the election Must, or he wouldn't have called it a " pow erful" party. If we could ever find out his post office address, we would mail him an Argus occasionally, just to keep him posted on elections especially just before he gets up a " message." It would give his State papers more character for erudition. Memorials. Gov. Curry, in his mes sage, after recommending the Legislature to memorialize Congress in behnlf of n i'n ciiic Railroad, says : " I know that this is a hackneyed usage that has availed us lit tle or, nothing in the past our memorials being seldom heard from or never received, yet 1 recommend its observance in this case with the hope that our persistence may luckily meet with some appreciation." That the ' observance of the usage' of memorializing Congress for a thousand and one things by previous Legislatures has already 'mot with some appreciation,' and a proper appreciation, by Congress, which has been bored with them, we have evidence in the silent contempt with which Congress has treated them. As near as we can rec ollect, about forty-three memorials on di verse matters, many of them gotten up for mere buncombe, have been sent to Congress by our Legislatures In the last eight years. The men who have generally been elected as law-makers, have, besides the big-head, been dreadfully afflicted with the ' memorial' mania. The consequence has been that the silly 'memorials,' praying for altogether more than any reasonable man could ex pect Congress to grant, have, in the classic language of Gov. Curry, been 'seldom heard from or never received,' but used as waste paper no doubt by our illustrious Delegate. While we hope that the pres ent Legislature will insult Congress with but one memorial, we want that to be for some action on the Pacific Railroad. We have no hope that the present sectional party that killed the Railroad bill last win ter, will do anything for it this neverthe less, we hope our Legislature will memo rialize Congress, and instruct our ' Sena tors' and Representative to do as much ia its behalf as is consistent with their fealty to the fire-eating leaders of the sectional negro-breeding Democracy. -.' ..

Jo Lane has published a letter in the lust Times in which he informs ns that about fifty more patents have been issued for land-holders in Oregon. The following is the concluding part of his letter: .. " As for my future action, need I to as sure you that I shall continue my duty to those who have hitherto favored mc with their generous confidence f I shall do my duty, faithfully, fully, honorably, and I hope satisfactorily, to the whole of the peo ple whom I shall hare the honor In part to represent. In political matters I shall, as hitherto, so in future, be guided by the principles of the Democratic party, and no power, npon earth shall or can move me one inch from my convictions of duty to my constituents, or the principles of the Demo cratic party." Now isn't that Jo Lane, without dotting an i' or crossing a ? It reminds us of bis old manner of getting votes out of the un washed when he lived in this city. Upon meeting a democrat on the public street who lived in the country some fifteen or twenty miles, say, a man who is taken to have influence enough to control half a dozen votes, but who thinks.that " Jincral Jackson" is yet PrcsWeaf Jo, warmly grasping his hand, says: " Why, God bless your soul, bow do you do ? You're just tho man I've been looking for, and by com ing to town you have saved me a trip oat to your place expressly to see you. I've had a very important matter on my mind that I wanted to counsel you about, and I'm to glad you've come. ! Let's go In and liekcr." I'mzE-FicirriNfi.' John C. Heenan has published a challenge to Morrissey in the X. V. Tribune, offering to fight him again for 5,000 a side, or upward, Morrissey replies to the challenge that be has fought his lost battle, unless in self-defense. He talks us though he intended to become a respectable citizen and devote himself here after to the care of his family. The New York papers contain a long account of the fight, which was very obstinate and bloody. Hcenau had decidedly the advantage in the two or three first rounds, and is no doubt the superior man of the two, although he is only twenty-three years old, while Morris sey is twenty-eight. Heenan had been sick for several days before the fight, which ac counts for his getting the worst of it. In St. Louis a fight also took place on the same day that the Heenan and Morris sey afiuir went off. Pat McNeil and Elius O'Fluherty were the coinbatuuts, and O' Flaherty was the winner. The , sixtieth and last round is thus dearibed by the St. Louis Republican: " On the sixtieth round McNeil could not come up to time, having both arms bro ken, two extremely black eyes, a fractured rib or two, and a head about twice its usu al size, and having besides received a great loss of sensation. He was therefore de clared whipped, and the money handed over to the triumphant O'Flaherty, whose left eye was put ot entirely, his collar bone fractured in two places, his five right lin gers displaced from their sockets, and his mouth slit on the left side of his cheek as far back as the ear." ; , We are glad to see that most of the East ern papers discountenance these brutal en counters that ought to disgrace a nation of savages. ' 1 ,; Political rr.EAcni.Nc The Louisville (Ky.) Journal says that a reverend fire eater in Florida recently preached a sermon to prove that ' Africans have no souls.' 'A writer in tho Vicksburg True Southron suggests that the Southern convention at Ticksbnrg in May next ' raise a fund to be distributed in premiums for the best ser mons in favor of the revival of the slave trade.' Now we certainly shall offer no objections to negro-driving pastors advo cating the doctrine that Africans have no souls, or hiring themselves out for 'premi ums' to preach in iavor of reviving the slave trade, bnt we do insist that such driven nigger organs as raise the howl ' po litical preaching whenever a preacher hap pens to intimate that Africans have souls, and that the slave trade is justly denomina ted 'piracy,' should, at least intimate to their fire-eating tocofoco parsons that 'such doctrines are not found in the Cincinnati platform.' - .." - : ' .

The following States have already elected members of the nexi Congress: . Rep.

In this estimate the election of Barrett of Missouri aud Sickles of New York is T ' " L V ; T 7 J j"' .m. , liamson will also contest the seat of Sickles ofNew York for the same reason. These gentlomen will no doubt get their seats, making the Republican representation 108, to 42 sectionnlists. The following States have yet to elect Representatives. Their representation in this Congress stands as follows: Democrats. Opposition, Alabama, Connecticut, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, 1 Rhode Island, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, 1 North Carolina, Georgia, New Hampshire, Total, ' 3 S 8 2 8 1 8 8 5 i 1 ( 8 9 18 0 2 0 2 C C2 20, If these States return the same nurabctf of opposition members the sectional democ' racy willBtand 104, to 128 opposition,! making a clear opposition majority of 24 The two K. N. members from Missouri be ing counted, the opposition will stand 26 majority.. The House will consist of 234 members 108 of which will be Republi-j cans, leaving 126 of other politics. So it1 will be seen that the Republicans will not have a majority in the thirty-sixth Con grcss as some suppose, but the next Con grcss will be much of the same political complexion as the thirty-fourth Congress was, orer which Banks presided. Give the Devil his Due. The follow ing item is going the rounds of the Eastern papers, and is also published in the Ore goninn: "The Repi-bijcas Gcxs w W to. Washington-, Friday, October 1853. The Administration Mayor, contra' ry to usage, refuses to allow the Republi cans to fire a salute in honor of the victories achieved in the recent election." The reason why we never published it was that the Mayor of Washington City publicly denied the correctness of it as soon as it was published, and stated that the re fusal to allow the Republicans to fire cannon within the city limits was in accordance with a rule established some time before a rule which he bad strictly enforced on a previous occasion when the democrats had requested the same privilege. We think the poor lo cofoeos have enough to answer for with out holding them to answer for things they are not guilty of; and unless we can break down the party by fair means, we certain ly never shall by font. ' We have been so disgusted with the falsehoods which stare a man in the face in almost every article when he picks up a 'democratic paper,' that we have no kind of patience with an opposition paper that happens to let one slip in by mistake. We think as long as the organs of the driven niggers are all lies, the Republican papers ought to be all truth. . Support.

Whilo here Is a clear Intimation that Hibben wasn't ' worthy of the position' he occupied, we are plainly told that the pa per will still continue to advocate Lane's interest, from the fact that it will ' support all things' that support the Administration.

Indians Murdered. We leant, from relinblo authority, that two Indians, known as Dick Johnson and Mnmmy, were delib erately murdered on Sunday evening, Nor. 28th, at or near Green Valley, Umpqua county. These Indians occupied a emtiTI pieco uf land among the hills, which they have cul tivated for several years, and have always been peaceable, industrious, and inoffensive. But the devil of cupidity baring entered somo of their whlto neighbors, they have for some time past endeavored, by means! of threats and intimidations, to induce the Indians to leave, so that they might reap the benefit of their labor. The Indians very naturally refused to depart, until they had been paid for their improvements. On the evening above mentioned, the Iudiuns were shot down at their own door Dick Johnson being instantly killed, und Mummy in a very few moments. A Coroner's inquest was held on the two following days, which resulted in a verdict! in substance as follows: "We, the Jury, believe that the Indians were murdered by a party of eight white men.' Six of thosq mentioned in the verdict have been subsc .qaently arrested, examined before a magis ftrate, and bound over to appear at the Disi urict Court, to answer the charge of murder, We are not now in possession of the) amcs of the parties accused, but will pub lish farther details as soon as we enn pro- cure them SioxED.

The process of snuff dipping consists of rubbing the teeth and gums with snuff, thereby causing a sensation like intoxica tion. . The nerves are excited and the head becomes a little giddy. Ex.
