We are informed that three or four preachers of the Methodic Episcopal Church South came here from Texas on the lust steam' r, probably at the invitation of Jo Lane. They have their families with them, and expect to nettle among ns. We pro pose that pro-slavery men of all denomina tions unite immediately with the M. E. Church South. It must be a gratification to them to be uboard of a craft destined to a heaven where they can flog niggers. Cornwall, of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, will probably seak for a front seat, as he was sound enough on the goo to support a resolution iu their late Presby tery forbidding their preachers to either rite or speak ognin.'t slavery. He alto stated, during his remarks, that John Xcwton, a celebrated Engliah divine, who was engaged for years before his conversion in the slave trade, hud dune inure good in that eaprtrihj than he had erer done tinet at a minister. c liave this statement from a preacher of the same denomination. We advise these Texas missionaries to hunt Rro. Cornwall.' nnd see if they can't fit out some sort of a ' dug out' for the African trade.

Do they desire by uiiling Jo Lane und his tools in perfecting this fraud, to put it in liis power forever after to dictate what men and measures shall be supported in Or egon ? For they imi-t see, it seems to us, that Stout's success, if he should be elect ed, will be trumpeted through the land, not as n triumph of D.-nioeracy, l,ut ns a proof that Jo Luiiels omnipotent iu Oregon, and mon school tcaehcin generally get nliout filly dollars a mouth mid board.
