fjf ALax.Ni Dukkino, of New Hamilton,
New York, to our eutborlwd egentin ihi 8taif.
Onv. CarryH Mraaage.
We have received Gov. 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. -.'
.. Postponed. Friend Cantonwine post-,

Contcst. Our latest advices from Sa

I ker and Peebles for a scat in tho Council.
; We learn that Judge Williams is attorney
! for Parker, tmd the general opinion is that
. Parker will get bis scat. Tho friends of
, Judge Williams look with great iuterest to
the restili, as this Is the first ' case we be
lieve the Judge has booked since he left the
bench it ml bang out his shfngle as ' Solic
itor.' If bis solicitation' in favor of ' 8am'
proves effectual, it will be regarded as an
omen of success hereafter when he comes to
'solicit' for himself a seat in the V. S.
Senate.
The Great Patriot. 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 two K. N. members from Missouri be

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. The Times of last Saturday,
In view of the fact that the editorial chair
has become vacant on account of the sud-
den exit of the ' fugitive' who bas hitherto
discharged the ' democratic matter for that ,
sheet snvs; ' J l
, " We shall do our best to get an editor
that Is worthy of the position; one that will
snpport the present Administration and all
things pertaining to its welfare."
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.
Well, the Administration was never more
in need of 'support' than it now is; and it
may be some comfort to it to receive sup-1 eiKj 0f ft Btick some six inches long (one nek e.ndy, fce., at M NNZrS

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,

19 Eighty per cent, of the women of

of rubbing the teeth and gums with snuff,
thereby causing a sensation like intoxica

We think that full eighty per cent, of

end of which has been chewed so as to form
a sort of brash) first into a bottle of snuff,
where It is swabbed around till all the snuff
possible adheres to it, and then into the

of the Jaw teeth till the effect desired is
produced. It is nothing more or less than
tobacco-chewing under the more genteel
name of ' dipping. We have on seveal
