AMERICANS IX POSSESION'!!
British War Huaacr YUllt
t&r la the Argus of hut week there
wu published an item Intimating that the
Republican part would muko the fight in
18 CO on the ground of Congressional Inter-
Tention to protect freedom in the Territo-
riet. Had we been at our -ot we should
Dot hare made inch a statement, fur er
eral rcaoui. Kind It is iirtjotwile now
to tell what range the Republican gum
may hare to take in order mot effectually
to kill the sectionali'sU That will not be
known till after the Charleston Convention.
Our object will be, at Thayer said, to shoot
exactly iu the direction of the enemy. We
have full confidence iu the united wisdom
of the patriot who head the Republican
party to trust thctu to make a platform
that will exactly meet the exigencies of the
time.
In the second place, wc agree with
Greeley, who stated iu hit sjicccu in Kansas
that if he were compiled to choose between
Congressional prohibition and a homestead
bill giving land to actual settlers, he would
take the latter an the wort rfftctaal way of
proltclwg frte lalmt in the Terriloriet.
Thin is exactly the ground on which we
made the lute canvass in this State. Xow,
if the passage of a homestead bill coupled
with Congressional nonintervention, Is the
most effectual way to secure our object,
why not take it ? Such ground would cer
tainly meet with leu than half the objec
tion that the old one would. Our object is
to secure the blessings of liberty to the set
tlers on all the public domain, and we arc
willing to concede much of former policy
when a better one can be shown. Princi
pie we will never concede, though the heav
ens full.

S.v Ji-aX Isuxd. The dispute about
this hland in the Straits of Fuca is likely to
cause some trouble between the American
and lirltinh Governments. Tho Hudson
J!ay Company officials have of late driven
away some Americans who had taken up
claims on the island, under pretense of their
being intruders on Dritish soil. The Pio
neer k Democrat says that the U. S. steam
ship Massachusetts has transferred Capt.
Pickett with his company to San Juan Is
land, to hold it in defiance of British ag
gression.
LATER.
Since the above was in type, the Duily
Advertiser of Thursday of this week has
reached us containing the following impor
tant news of the American and British au
thorities iu regard to San Juan Island.
The Advertiser obtains the news from Capt.
Glad well, who left Victoria on the steamer
Julia, on the 2Mb July, and with her visit
ed the island of San Juan thence cumc to
Olympia, and by land to Portland. The
Capt. gives the following information:
The United States steamer Massachu
setts had safely landed Capt. l'ickett with
00 U. S. troops, armed and equipped, and
having with them severul howitzers and
military stores, such as are needed for es
tablishing a permanent military post npou
the Maud. The bland had previously been
occupied by an Knglishmau aud un Ameri
can, both of whom claimed the soil as be
longing to their respective Governments.
The advent of Capt. Fickett and his men
soon became known to the authorities at
Victoria, and produced great sensation at
thut place, both among the Americans aud
British subjects. The British war steamer
Sattellite was ordered immediately to pro
ceed to tho island and protect the British
rights there. She took on board Mr. Dc
t'onrcy, who Lad just received the appoint
ment of Magistrate of the island under the
authority of the British Government. As
the steamer hovo iu sight of the island Capt.
l'ickett had his men drawn un iu battle
army and his howitzers properly stationed
so as to do good execution in the event of
being fired upon by the steamer. He had
also so stationed his men thut they could
easily cover themselves from the fire of the
steamer by a grove of timber. All was ad
mirably arranged, and that, too, on short
notice. The interest of the occasion as the
steamer approached was intense. She came
to, lowered a bout, into which De Courry,
an oflicerof the steamer, and a tile of men
ateped, and made for shore. They lauded,
and were duly saluted.
Mr. Irosby, who hud been appointed the
American Magistrate, met them, and was
interrogated by them as to the mennine-
and intent of tho American troops upon the

ply seemed to astonish and puzzle them.
Dc Coutry then declared tho Americans
to Itc squatters upon British soil, nnd order
ed them to leave tho island. But they
firmly refused to obey, and such was the
posture of affairs when the Julin left.
What further action the British authorities
will take in the mutter remains to be seen.
Mr. Gladwell tells us that, from a private
letter, ho wits made to understand thnt tho
llritish authorities at Victoria will not suf-
rertlie Americans to peaceably hold posses-
siou of the island, and wc further learn that
Upt. lickctts force will bo immediately

force to draw tho Americans from the island

DOCULASi MITI0H.
The letter of Judge Douglas in reference to the
action of the Clurlenn convention, is the subject
of comment with almost every public journal. iJy
some of thtm it Is regarded as dogmatic and dicta
torial, lly others it is considered as a declaration
required by Mr. Douglas's position, which was lia
ble to m'srepreNntatiun j that it candidly) in ad
vance, meets a national question as to that position t
and that it frankly and clearly defines it. It must
increase the party schism, and if adopted as the
bais f.r a Northern wing to act upon, will rupture
the Charleston convention. Tho Opposition is
much indebted to Judge JJouglas for thio manifesto.
The statement that his letter was written with the
view of withdrawing bis name as a candidate be
fore the Charleston convention, is wholly unfound
ed. Tlae very reverse is true.
THE SLAVE TRADS.
Id some quarters the objection to the Democratic
platform, as embodying; a declaration iu fuvor of
the African slave trade, is thought to be trivial and
of no practical moment. But this visw of that ob
jection is met by many facts to show that tho party
at the Hiiuth in favor of that trade is strong and ac
tive. Ouly ou Saturday. July B. Mr. Stephens, in
a speech at Augusta, Georgia, avowed himself fa
vorable to the revival of the slave trade.

Passing I group of woysidc politicians of
the Dolf school who were arguing iu n gur.
to tho last election, one of them expressed
himself fcry positively to the effect that il
thn innttfr of choice between Stout and Lo
gait were again submitted to the people their
decision would Do an entirely tiiuereiu uu.
In other words, that many good Icmot-rat
who fell from grace bj voting tor J.ognu
were now sincerely repenting their misdoing,
and wonld gladly atone for the error by a
public recantation, disavowing motive and
action, and rcversinir sentiiiicntit deliberately
chosen and frunkly expressed. Is this no
eordinir to the facts Iu the cascT Aud is
it so that freemen of our new-born Stuto arc
already deploring the liberty they have so
rcccutly acquired? l)o we already antici

fathers fight unless fur the privilege of gov

dants, are rcprecontcd as arraying ourselves
In sackcloth and ashes out of pure grief that
we have asserted one of the dearest rights
of freemen. Is there one who owed his
rich political friend money, and fears that
he has disobliged him? Or another who
looked for an appointment as village Post
master, whose budding hopes are blighted
by Hint " unlucky vote?" llow many inde
pendent voters in Oregon, from motives
such as these, or because they fed the stings
of a guilty conscieuce, would desiro to
change the votes they cast for Delegate?
If there be nny such they have my pity,
but I opine that such cases arc like angels'

people were proud to rally under the ban
ner of Democracy, when that banner al

on aiy daughter," ho at least is on Jo Lut
for the Presidency. Ho tries to conviiw
himself that Jo's "nnnio is gaining few
throughout the country," and that "neitlur
Whigs nor Americans can make objectiwi
to him." Probably " bob-tailed Whip"
can't, but we vcuttne the. asscrtiou that ill
true Whigs, Americans, and eveu a uujority
of Dcmocruts, can.
The idea of proposing Jo Lane for lit
Presidency the Hannibal Messenger ver
justly pronounces whittling down, and if
don't know that we could do better tbii
to quote his article. The Messenger sari:
" Wc see somo of our exchnnr in
ilking about Jo Lane, of Oregon, forth
'residency. CJen. Lane may be a vm
talkii!
Pi
goou man in Ins place, for instance, that of
n Jerritoru.il Governor, bnt milipr sm.ll
for President. Wc think it
hud set obout improving Presidential stock;
it. in running entirely too much to norm,
tail, and hair, of late. Scrub pnliticiiM
are just at home iu the lower House of
Congress, but they are sndly out of plat
in the Senate or White House; their heads
swim, they git too big for their brcecha,
act the fool, and bring the Government into
contempt. Tltoso places were designed fbf
enlightened nnd patriotic statesmen, not for
bob-tailed, grog-shop Tioliticians. We're '
down on all such, and if we can't do siiy
better we would save our credit by winding
up tho concern at once."

In a lirivato letter addressed to ti
editor of tho Worcester Spy Senator Sum
ner sayg of his health: "At last I feel hip
py in health, which, if not entirely assured,
yet is such as to allow me to walk natunl
iy, uuconsciously, and without pain, oaks
when I strike into my old gait, which, yoo
may remember, was always the fastest if
tho fust. I hope I have not lost thiiM
that I cannot get it bnck again. Om
must have been for three years an invalid
to know the happiness in my new-found
strength." Mr. Sumner speaks as follows
of the present war in Italv: "This ki
great historic moment. There has bees
notmng like it si,lce i815 jrany ben
think that no good can come to Italy from
the Emperor Xanoleon. I am not of that
opinion, although I join in the distrust which
prevails with rctrnrd to him Ttnt the hoar
seems to have struck when Italy is tb .
tree ; and he is an instrument by which it h
to bo accomplished. At Twin when I
passed several days, all were confident of
the result. They expect the Anstriansto
be driven out of Italy this summer." '
Tub Newspaper. The Knrinirfidd
(Mass.) Republican, itself one of the most
udicionsly and tastefully conducted papen
in the United States, remarks with mo
pertiuency and truth that " there is a meth
od, a principle iu journalism that son
those who follow it and many of the read
ing public find it hard to understand, tad
still harder to admit. The man who sett ,
up to print a public newspaper has no right
to control its contents bv his Dcrsonal prej
udices or his private tastes; and the m
who subscribes for and reads it has no rilfW
to ask, and no reason to exneot. that k
shall find in It only what he wants to read
and what he can annrove nothinir to tt-
fend his prejudices or shock his sensibilities.'
