uDatle Jouraal.'J
We have received tho first number of the
Dulles Journul, issued at the Dulles on the
11th inst., hy A. J. Price, editor ami pro
prietor, ot $5 n yenr. The paper presents
a fuir typographical nipvurunee, ami us o
locul news medium will probably be udvan
tdgvous to the people of that section.
The polities of the paper are of the pure
ticgro-breuliiig, sectional stamp, iintl, like
uiost papers of thut clinrneter, is devoted
to such silly twaddle as ' the Muck republi
cans nro trying to elevate niggi is to the
level of the whites,' ' dissolution of the Un
ion,' Ac, lie. Tho editorial is of that
ilorid and verbose .style ko peculiar lo san
guine youth who have not been cohered by
age or tempered by lnciihl discipline a
condition well suited to a Democratic ed
itor, whose business it is to appeal to vulgar
prejudices instead of sober reason, to siiji
press facts and circulate falsehoods, to deal
in verbiage instead of ideas, and to operate
upon ignorance instead of the nobler senti
ments. Out of over a column of editorial
headed ' Political Issues of the Day,' we
clip the following as a specimen of Dulles
Democracy and literature:
" But even here, in the face of ull these
jrrand fitots, this ever-enlarging prosperity
and development, this consummate success,
these fit supplements to the vulorons and
wiso labors of our forefathers, und won
drous fruits of their fraternal, enlightened
compromises, and all this healthy national
aggrandizement, here as in the primeval
Eden, has the fell tempter intruded with
his insidious 'inspiring venom, ' like that
foul friend of the poet who was surprised,
Squat like a tal, close by the ear of Eve,
ilMiaying by h i devilish urta tn reach
The origin of her fancy, and with them forge
Illuaiotu us ho pluintiuuna and dream
diieontciittil thought,
Vain hopea, rain aima, Innrd nnte dnirri
lilown up with h'gh conceitH, engendering pride."
Under the guise of a tcntiment, nnd in
the comely shape of sympathy fora so-called
oppressed race the negro the tempter has
stolen within our Kden and as of old, ' the
sly Itviiocrite' would even now seem 4 Pat
ron of liberty' nnd wo sorely fear with such
success, as to conceal from so many of ns,
his true character nnd aims; and imperil
with desolation the fair empire vouchsafed
Aq us, unless these mischievous inspirations
aire substantially adopted nnd acted upon."
Our young friend has probably never
paid much attention to politics, only as he
has posted himself through tho negro-
breeding organs, or he would have known
that the Republican party was actuated by
a 'tympathy' for tho white man instead of
tho 'negro' that in the great conflict
which is now going on between feet labor
nnd slave labor a conflict in which n negro
capitnl aristocracy on the one side locks
horns with free labor on the other the
Republicans nro on the sido of the white
man; and, in trying to make fret Lihor both
honorable ojk' profitable, Republicans arc
trying to keep white laborers up, while the
Rhtek Democracy, ou the other hand, iu
trying to force negro cnpitid to come in
competition with the poor man's labor (the
only capital he hns), is trying to bring free
labor down to tho level of slnvo labor,
thus really drugging white men Joint to the
level of itlavet. Tito Republican party
leaves slavery just where it is, und is trying
to elevate free tehite laborers in the Terri
torics, while your pnrty is merely a tool to
Assist shareholding aristocrats in introducing
lave capital to crush out free labor, thus
dragging white men who labor down to the
level of torn-field nccroes. Your effort to
degrade white men, and thus successfully
put tho nianach'9 on them, succeeds only in
districts where from the want of intelligence
you can mnke them believe that we are the
white man's enemies and the negro's sym
pathizers; whereas, Republicans are the
)artieitlar friends of tho whites, and tho
enemies of nobody while liluck Democ
racy is hostile to the interests of everybody
oxcept negro-breeders. ' Do you understand
tho issues now ? -
In view of theso fucts, you mny well
'sorely fear that the teeming millions of
free white laborers in the North will yet
vindicate their rights by confining slave
capital just where it is. If free Americaus
were as ignorant as the serfs of Russia, the
negro-breeding aristocracy might for a long
time yet induce Northern voters to go
against their own interest by voting negro
capital up, and frcc-lulior capital down, iu
electing Ihe RIack Democracy to office.
Jf yon have auy doubts as to the ultimate
destiny of the sectional Democracy, just
count (if you can) the swarming myriads
if free intelligent laborers thut in twenty
jwa'tuiJr- will be thtiuJor'ui it: rothrosi!
through some three hundred re pretentatlvcs
from some thirty free States, doited ull
over with school-housci and churches, mu
sical with the hum of the spindle, the ring
of tho anvil, and the soog of bappy free
lnborcn.
Ai to your comtent snivel about ' dis
union,' we will Just say to yon that thert
isn't a single, solitary disunhnist In the
Itrpubliean party i they oil belong to ei
ther the Abolition or Demoeratic party.
Well, when wo get the Government in our
hands, if these men don't ' dry np' about
dissolving tho Union, we will give Ken
tucky contract for raising hemp, and
whenever your lenders raise a parricidal
baud against tho Ark of the Union, we
will servo them as Jackson threatened to
serve Calhoun 'By the Eternal, we'll
hang 'cm!' The leaders being hung, we'll
colonize the undcrttmpper disunionists, such
as the locofoco editors and office-hunters, in
Africa or Cuba. (It was probably with
tin eye to this that Seward lutely admitted
iu the U. S. Senate that wo should probably
want Cuba some day. )
Now, young friend, (and what we sny to
yon, we say also to tho Sentinel and ull the
rest of the locofoco editors,) you probably
uudertand something of the principles, pur
poses, and destiny of the Republican porty ;
nnd, for fear you forget it, you had better
keep this article pasted np directly iu front
of your editorial table.
Co-cinbrd
Delusion, now that he hns thrown off
Czapkuy's Agent, who got him elected as
Senator, and has tied himself to Jo Lane,
hns, in addition to searching the garrets
and scraping the gutters forMtems propping
up Lane, been combing the head of one
Cox, from the twelfth Congressional district
of Ohio, lit search of something that might
hatch out to Lane's advantage. Delusion
publishes a correspondence in the lust Times
which he says took place between him nnd
Cox in relation to the truth of the state
ment he was reported in the Ohio State
Journal to hare made in a speech delivered
at Newark last August. His statement in
that speech was that Lano "earnestly re
quested that the admission of Oregon be
postponed." Wo copied tho statement
from the Ohio btate Journal, a paper
which we have on file in our olfice now,
and we have no doubt but that Cox is cor
rectly reported, and that five hundred per
sons who heard the speech could be found
to certify fo it. Iu this letter, Cox says he
never stated thut Jo Lane had requested
that the admission of Oregon be postponed.
If Cos didn't make the statement, it is very
strange how Cuso came to have reported
him thus iu tho extract we took from tho
Journal, where Lane's name was incident
ally brought in, in connection with n justi
fication of the Lecomplon policy of Cox,
and not as affecting Lane's faithfulness as a
Delegate, a matter that in no wise inter
ested un Ohio audience. If Cox ever wrote
the letter, we believe he has eaten his words
in order to help a brother Democrat out of
a difficulty. It must be remembered, how
ever, that tho ouly evidence wo have that
Cox ever wrote the letter is the word of tho
same Delusion who stated the falsehood tit
Eugene City, and then unblushingly pub
lished it in the Times, that Senator Wilson
wrote a letter to tho Worcester disunion
convention more or Icfs endorsing the views
of tho convention.
If Cox wrote the letter, and was not
ashamed of it, why wasn't it published in
Washington City ns a part of Jo's circular?
The same steamer brought both documents,
and if Cox's letter was genuine and true, it
would hove made a very important item by
way of giving backbone to a very silly cir
cular made np of very silly assertions.
Ixsaxk. Wo aro fully satisfied that
Roc, who is now under sentence of death
for tho murder of his wifo in Salem, is in
sane. He is to be hanged April 2, if the
sentence of Judge Boise is carried out, but
we hope Gov. Curry will interpose his ex
ecutive clemency, nnd commute the unfor
tunato man's punishment to imprisonment
for life. By that menus, society will be ns
effectually protected against future danger
from him, ns by his death, and lie may yet
be of some service to the community and
to himself. Will Gov. Curry show that
he is actuated by an enlarged philanthropy,
and governed by a sound, humane policy,
that measures out punishment with a view
not only of protecting society, but of re
forming the criminal (a policy that ought
to prevail in an enlightened government)
by ordering Roo to the penitentiary in
stead of the gallows ?
i& Dr. Weed nnd his lady passed
through this city on their way to Salem
lust Wednesday. They will probably make
an overland journey to Southern Oregon
and California in the spring, and we fear
that inducements will be held out to the
Doctor in California such as will cause him
to loeato in that State. The Doctor is an
estimable mnn, entirely sound on the great
moral principles we advocate, and we
should be sorry to lose him as a citizen.
We wish we had ten thousand more like
him in this Slate.

Wo hear thut Doctor Crisis of CorTallis
has found tho diseases of tho democratic
party too much for him, nnd has concluded
to hang hit Democratic pill-bogi on a peg,
nd turn his hand to other pursuits. We
hear that the Crisis is sold to Slutcr, who
has changed its name to the Democratic
Union. Slater was in favor of keeping np
the ' national' party, and opiHwed to sell
ing it out to the clique. Whether ho will
make hit patwr the orgau of such a distinct
organization, we are not ablo to say but
from the fact that the Uuiou proposes to
be soundly Democratic, we suppose it will
pitch into the family quarrel that is now
going on with great vigor, mount Jo Lane's
back, and, with both legs locked around
his waist and its left arm encircling his
neck, deal out its shafts at Czttpkny's Agent
with its right hand, till after the ' regular
nominee' of the scctionalists is placed upon
the track, when, ut tho signal yell, ' time
honored usnges,' &c., being given, down
will go the weapons of war, and the Demo
cratic knights will rush .to each other's
arms, affectionately rub their bloody noses
together, and, ofter taking a few horns of
whisky each, will soon be os effectually
locked together as a cupful of fish-worms.
Tn s Effkct. Delazon, in a letter to
the Inst Salem organ, written before Faulk
ner had made his report on our war debt,
assured us that the committee would report
favorably. Ha gives as a prominent retv
ton for thinking so, that he, G rover, and
Lnnc had all been before the committee nnd
made ' lengthy speeches' urging our claims,
Delusion ulso says: ' I am exceeding anx
ious to get my sent in the Senate before
the bill goes to that body.'
"Wo have a simple proposition iu nrith
luetic to present to Delusion's followers. If
Delusion's 'lengthy' liighfalutin before the
committee caused the commilUt to cut
dowu the war debt nearly five millions
how much more will his bombast and blus
ter induce the Senate to cut it down when
it comes before ' that body' f By ciphering
this out, they will get the present ' value of
war scrip,' and also lenrn how well it pays'
to vote for the Black Democracy.
' W.' The able article on the outside of
this paper signed AV. was written by s

bery, and a standing army. Although he

never saw a free State up to the time Ore
gon was admitted, ami although he has

ARRIVAL OF TUN
Great Overland Mail!
TWO PAYl XiATMt, XIXW1 1
Oregon Admitted into
the union i
The steamer Brother Jonathan reached
Portland Tuesday morning lust, bringing
news of the nrrivul of the overland muil at
San Francisco on the night of the 0th of
March, with two days later news from the
Cast. The latest dates are from St. Louis
to tho 14 th of Febrmtry.
Tho most important news brought Is that
of tho admission of Oregon as a Stuto Into
the Union, the bill for which passed tho
House of Representatives Feb. 12. it o
give below a synopsis of tho
Debate the AttatMtoa af Orro.
On 10th February, Mr. Stephens of
Georgia, from the Committee tm Territo-
ries, reported back, without amendment,
tho Semite bill for the admission of Oregon
into the Union. Ho said there can be no
oneslion thut there is sufficient population
in Oregon to ntinni ner into me t iiton.
Under tho existing law and compact, thero
must be at least (10,000, and in ids opinion
there were about 100,000, according to the
ratio of increase.
Mr. Grow said that the question of pop
ulation, though a safe rule, would not ul-
wuvs control his oction. Jle wouiu lake
Into consideration tho timo" nnd circum
stances of tho application; but Congress
hud recently set the exnmpio noi 10 niimn
a Stuto with a less population than was re
quired for a representative in Congress.
Kansas cnuld not come in unless as a slave
State. Congress would not give her nn
opportunity to throw oft" Federal oppression
and wrong. The population of Kuustis is
much larger tiiiiu timt of Oregon. He
would never give his sanction to sneh nn
unjust discrimination us is now proposed in
favnr of Oregon.
On the 1 1th, consideration of tho bill was
resumed, when Mr. Clark of Missouri said
that the regulation of alien suffrage and ex
clusion of free negroes nnd muhittoes con
cerns Oregon alone, mid under all circum
stances she ought to be admitted without
regard (o population.
Mr. Zollieoffer of Tennessee opposed the
admission of Oregon, because of insufficien
cy of population und its Alien Suffrage law.
Mr. Comius nf Muss., being ready to
vote for the admission of Kansas with a
free Republican Constitution, as her people
may adopt.
Mr. Dawes of Mass. said that objections
to the admission of Oregon lie in the Con
stitution itself. He could not ngrcc with
his colleague, Mr. Comins, that it is Re
publican in its conditions. It was palpubly
a violation of the Federal Constitution, tin
der that provision which guarantees citizens
of each Statu till the privileges nnd immu
nities of citizens in the several States. Or
egon has no right to drive Troiu her borders
free colored people. Not only is it pro
posed to exclude them from Oregon, but to
prevent them from slicing in tho courts,
holding property nnd from eating the bread
of life.
On February 12th, consideration of tho
bill was resumed. Mr. Vullandingluim said
that when Kansas should come here ns Or
egon has come, peaceably nnd orderly, nnd
with the consent of her people, ho should
voto for her immediate admission. But
Kansas was not here, nnd Oregon was.
There' was no possible connection between
the two, and he would not vote to estab
lish any. Both would be free States. He
found Oregon here, anil he would take the
first that came, and vote for her admission.
He was opposed to Mr. G row's amendment,
nnd to nil others which only delayed or em
barrassed the bill, but he thanked Mr.
Grow and his Republican friends for op
posing tho admission of Oregon. They
stood unveiled now, and had squared tip
nnd wiped out tho lust session.
Mr, Lnno related the circumstances at-
tendihtr the formation of Oregon, nnd our-
nestly urged its admission, He said ho
had no doubt that its white population wag
over 93,000
Mr. Stanton of Ohio said the admission
of Oreiron was only n question of time, Ho
was triad thut his colleague, Mr Yalland
Ingham, hud found something to bo thank
ful for. So far as he was concerned, his
colleague was wcleomo to all ho could
make out of it in Ohio. It was last year
by tho almost united voice of the Demo
cratic party said that Kansas should not
be admitted with a constitution ot iter own
making without having her right of repre
sentation in Congress ascertained by a cen
sus. This was recognized and spread on
the records of the country as a part of the
Democratic principles, and there was no es
cape from it. If Kansas had been admit
ted ' under the Crittenden-Montgomery
amendment, it was vory well known that
she would huve sent Republican Senators.
All he asked was, that when a Stute came
here professinj; to be free, with Democratic
Senators elected to serve (luring tho next
Presidential term, that there should be
meted to her the same rule as was applied
to Kansas, and not adopt one rule for tho
admission of a Democratic State and a dif
ferent ono for a Republican State. This
is the true secret of the question. He in
dicated his olifections to the Constitution,
and said that ho would not by voting for
ndmission under it give vitality to the Drcd
Scott decision.
Mr. Stephens of Georgia was glad that
he had an opportunity of showing the utter
groundlessness of the charge made, against
the Democratic party, that Inst winter the
party applied one rule of admission in one
case, and a different one in another. He
held that the people of Oregon could justly
lay claim to admission under the previous
ordinances and compacts. If the Re
publicans had believed that their
opponents had done wrong in regard to
Kansas, why slionld they pursue a similar
course nnd keep a free State out of the Un
ion J L wo wrongs do not make one right.
The gentlemen on the Republican side had
found fault with the Oregon constitution
because it excludes free negroes and
denies them the privilege of suing in the
courts; but the political friends of these
very gentlemen framed the Topeka Consti
tution, w hich makes a similar provision.
He then answered the various odjectious to
the Oregon Constitution, and eloquently
appealed to the progress, glory and pros
perity of the country, concluding with some
riotKfJCaarks, which weri lonrtly ap
plauded, cechilly by tho members.
Tho SiM-iiker reminded the House that
their own sense of propriety ought to pre
clude such demonstrations.
Mr. Grow offered a a substitute lor ine
bill, defining tho boundaries of Oregon ami
' St ll .111 - A I. 1 T I
Kansas, authorizing mo ciuscnioi me uni
ted States, who are legal voters, and resi
dent Iu eneh Territory to take (ho necessa
ry steps to establish a State Government,
tho respective constitutions being subject to
the approval and satisfaction of Un
people. Mr. Snndigo, of Louisiana, raised a
question of order, which the Scakcr sun
tuliied. rtilintr out the substitute.
Mr. Grow upculcd from the decision of
the Chair.
Mr. Stephens moved to lay tho appeal
ou the table. This was decided iu the af
firmative 130 ntruliist 02.
Mr. Grow then offered an amendment to re-
ncal the prohibitory clause In Kansas I oiii-
promise bill, which the Sieuker ruled out
of order.
Mr. Davis of Indiana moved that the
bill bo recommitted to the Coniinitlee ou
Territories, with instructions to add un
other section, repciiling the prohibitory
clause of the Kansas bill and providing that
Orrgou lie not admitted until it is ascertain
ed by a census that she hns population
enough for one Rcpresentutivo Iu I ongrcss,
The Speukcr decided it out of order.
Mr Davis annealed from the decision. On
motion of Mr. English, the motion was ta
Mctl 118 niraiiixt 05.
Mr. Hill offered nn amendment to the
first section of the bill, defining the bound
aries of Oreiron. and reiiriring tho ascer
tainment by census ol sullu ient Hptiiniiou
for one Representative iu Congress, prelim
inary to admission. Rejected oi against
173.
Mr. Mnvnnrd's amendment requiring the
populution'us above and Americun citizen
ship was rejected.
Mr. Hnslibiimo or Illinois movcu to ta
ble the whole subject. Disagreed to 01
ugninst 124.
Mr. Marshall of Kentucky offered an
amendment for admission on a census as
certainment. taken by order of the Gov
ernor, of sufficient population, and on the J
fundamental condition that the suiirage
cliins of the constitution shall not bo con
strued to authorize persons of foreign
birth, and not naturalized, to vote for mem-
lienor the House ol Kcpresentutivcs ol me
United States. The people of Oregon as
senting to this, the State to be admitted by
proclamation of tho President.
Tim amendment was rejected 18
a !rii inst 180.
Mr. Bingham offered a substitute for
the bill, declaring that the Constitution of
Oregon does not conform to the Constitu
tion und laws of tho United States, nnd
submitting the question of admission to the
people, and if they decide in fuvor of imme
diate admission, to hnvc one Representative
until the next Congnessiouid apportionment
of that State.
Rejected, 84 against 132.
The question was then taken on the pre
amble, viz: W'b reas, The people of Ore
gon huving formed, ratified, anil adopted a
Constitution nnd State Government, w hich
is republican in form nnd in comforniity
with the Constitution of the United States,
and have applied for admission into the I7n
inn on nn equal footing with the original
Stntrs, therefore, resolved, etc., nnd agreed
to 113 ngainst 05.
The bill then pnssed precisely as it came
from the Senate 114 against 103.
The announcement of the result was
greeted with applause and much confusion
prevailed, nmid which Mr. Stephens moved
that the Representative from Oregoti be
admitted to a scut.

bill passed the House:

tST It will be seen by the foregoing that
fifteen Republicans voted for the bill, and
twentr Democrats voted azninst it. If
these Republicans bad voted against the
bill, the rote, instead of 114 for and 103
against, would hare stood 09 for and 113
against. So it seems that with all the as
surances of Lane, Smith, and G rover that
the vote of Oregon w onld be a sectional
one in 1860, this Congress, which has a
"" i
majority of twenty-one Wacki, ws j not able
