Tlio old doctrine of the Democratic party Is set forth in the Or dinaiirc of '87, gotten up hy Ji (T. r.on for tlio purpose of protecting free labor in the Territories by Congressional enactments, Congress excluded slavery from Oregon hy a provision in her organic act. The po-i-lion of the old J) mocrutie pnrty, before it bad brcoino nn engine of negroXreediii ml sliivcry-extehfiinii, is fuirly set forth iu lliu li nnun's letter to Sunrurd, dated Wiishiiijjtoii City, August 21, l!, in which he mvk: " llnviiiK urgi il Ida uil ilii.ii of tl e Mixxiiiri ( o Miiliiii llir inf. rfil'f u lrrm.i.1 lit I hut c on f r', in my opinion, jm$trt I fie purer tit Irg' ttltitt upon IM tubjtcl oj iliivny in Hit I mi lium." When .Southern fire-cutcM, under the lend of Cnlhoiin, finally resolved to Afri can!.') this continent Jiy sprendiiio; shivery till over Ani(ricnn soil, or dissolve the Un ' iu:i, tliejr artfully fixed upon a hcrits of pro- jects by which they would reuch thego.il of their uspiratiotia, iwing tlio Ii luoerntii' p.irty lo plant their fable forces iu the teui . plu of Aincrican liberty, as the (i reeks used tlio wooileu horse to introducs within the walls of Tiny the armed .Mourn who applied the torch to Trojan temples and murdered the family of 1'iiiim while wor filiiping around their onn uit.ir.-i.

A se cret conclave of lending Southern s.ihiinnn-(li-is was mjoii convened In fomo dark pea for conlining human chattils lor sale, n ml u 'programme was drawn up for the future ' e'vereiM'S ' of tho iMnncrntic party. The following was the programme agreed upon, as bit calculated to 'take in' Nieh nsl composed tho rank and file of the Ii mo liMtic party a party which it whs thought best to eio upon rather than organize a new party: rr.oiin.vMiin. I. S(xn IlemiKMij is progressive, progressive, progressive, progressive. IT. IWtrixk "Slavery will go onlv where the soil, climate, uml productions of the country are iiduplcd to slave labor, or where it will pav." 1 1 1. Skxipikxt " The only reason why uneij e.Msm iu vieorjjui, Aiuinmin, ic, is that it jmiK, ami the ouhj reason it don't .ist in MiissiichiHi tls, Ohio, Ac, is that it Jon't iivj.

It is now discovered that it is a great sociul, moral, and political good helfvcr it 'prnji.' Jefferson wouid never liave uttered the sentiment tlmt he 'trim- Wed for his country on account of slavery when he recollected that Ood was just, il lie bad carefully rad I'iiuI's letter lo Phi lemon, w hicli he ke nt baik along with the runaway nigger Oueumm. . Invrirr (crafly) Trxaa admitted Into the Union in IStias a slave State vith a narrate ttrip running north of ihr Comprmnitc line, as a future precedent, and as a aymbol of the horn of slaverv-cxten- :on whiek Is to gore freedom to death. VI. The Fugitive Slave Act of ISiO. which craftily lecognixea the Talidity of iiavcry in the TcmiorUt by requiring fngi tivci to be sent back to the State or Terri tory from which be escaped, and tlinn claim injt that the rijht of rviaiition was derive, from the Constitution, when the fraiuers of tin Constitution never coutemplutrj ,e txiateoc of alafN-y ia a Territory, and to far tct ncof oir'rjt ('J aziateoc wear by the Ordinance ol 'Hi they had mluded it two years before, they can fully framed the Constitut'on so that no claim could lie set up for a rendition or fugitive act except br c ise of " ieronii held lo service or lubor In one S'a't not Territory escaping i"t another," ic. VII. Jleprnl of the Missouri Compro m ' In mi, nnd Hip passage of the juggle called the Kaiiu Nebraska IM. "hicli, while it imposed uion the people of these Territorha Governors clothed with the veto power, and other Territorial officer np pointed by tha President, do lied with am ple power to lock the wheels of legislation inn. h as they pb used, was heralded as the einbodiuient of 'squatter sovereignty' first f.rried over In the Slay Flower, and re cently du up by Douglas, from the ry soil which Washington, Jefferson, Mad'son, and all the fathers, bad inadvertently trod upon, and probably used for unclean pur poses. It was, however, claimed that by this bill " tin1 people of a Territory mrt to he lift wholly free to regulatr their owu Jnmciiic initiiuiioui"o hove or not bare slavery, just as tl ey plcoscd. VIII. The Cincinnati Platform of 18.10, artfully construing the Nebraska Hill so that It might lie claimed In the North dur ing the Presidential canvass of l&iiO (as il was) tliut the people of a Territory, ei7e iu a trrriturial condition. Were entitled to exclude slavery if thry chose nnd In the South (as it was) that they hud nn tuh rifil.t till thry came to fmme a eoiitlilidinn Tho canvass of 'oD was made upon the ' Cincinnati Plu t form' lying between the two horns of this swindle, and Duchunan was carried into the Presidential chair as a double-gendered politician claimed alike by tho salamander nigger-drivers of the South and the driven nigger dirt-eaters ol the North. IX. Ilnelinnnn's inaugural, reviewing the khivrry qnest'on ns tu ttltd to mre the Union' by the Kansas-Nebraska act (which be considered 'u huppy conception'), the Cincinnati Platform, nnd his election but stilting that "a d.fl'crcnee of opinion existed among the Democracy as to the "fwir when the people of u Territory were sovereign over slavery" the Northern sec tion holding with Douglas that thry were such while the territorial machinery of gov ernment was in operation, nnd the Southern wing holding with Jeff Davis that thry had 110 power In exclude tLnry till ihnj lie came a Stute! The latter dot trine, of course, Iiiiehunan meekly yielded his assent to as correct but told us the Supreme Court (tho chief judge of which hud ol ready culhd on him 11 ml told him how the Dred Scott case would be opiniouized) would soon decide it, nnd to the ' decision of course every good Democrat would bow Willi reverence, whether the ense went against the nigger-drivers or the driven- niggerg. X. The Dred Scott Opinion, extorted for party purposes, declaring that ull legis- ut. on by the fathers who made the Consti' tution. protecting free labor, was nnconsti tulional that slavery existed in nil the Territories by virtue of tho Constitution, and that neither the Central Govern incut nor the Territorial legislature, nor both combined, could exclude slavery from a single foot of territorial soil. Tills is the tenth round of tho ladder, reaching down into the black aluss of slavery-extension n round nlrendy reached by the Jllack Democracy nnd n round which Atlornry Ui'iicrul Illack bus crawled down to, nnd, after assuring the saluuian ders who crack their whips around his ears that ho is willing to go to the lowest round of tlio luddir of progressive Democracy if it continues to 'pnv.'hc turns his doii'di face upward, rolls up the whites of his eyes, shows his teeth nt Douglas, nnd cries out to the unwashed" I, l!n,-k, standing on the Cincinnati Plulform, do, to save the Cnion and tho Constitution, declare thai tldn round of the ladder of ISIack Democracy is the round where Joems wishes all sound Democrats to come home to roost." At this, every driven-n'ggcr place-hunter, offi cial, and editor, from him of the New York News down to the Jo Lane gouger of the Corvallis Union, meekly casts his eyes iu the direction of the authority, and whines out, " Aye, aye, sir." There are several more rounds in the ladder constructed as the programme of progressive Democracy, below that on which Dluck is balancing himself. Here they arc; XI. Another opinion from the Supreme Court (which we shall have in the Leinmon case as soon as another Democratic Presi dent is inaugurated) declaring the doctrine to lie correct, ulready advocated by the Union, liuchunaii's former organ at Wash ington, (hut "as slavery exists in the Terri tories by virtue of the Constitution, and as the lieoola of a TVrrltnr I.. v. .... . ......... j ..H . v in 10 roo men or rights in proiiertv (nLwrsl vested by the Constitution, therefore, the Constitution lieine the sucrem I,.. '.f . iK'ing the supreme law of a Mate, 110 State has a right to do so con- sequcnlly all free State constitutions are unconstitutional. XII. Apolitical opiuion from the same Court setting aside the acts of 1818 aud IS20 declaring the slave trade a crime. These two last positions leeitimatrtv fol low from the oition already occupied bv the Democratic party. They are position's now occupied l.y the leaders of that party at least the latter out ), and the whole party is bound to reach the same depth Of lufamy. Pflualon baa already published tUt b wocM anpport a an for fre dent w'o go for reviving the A rcun slave trade. How cry proier that tlie dough face Dlaik should be the oracle of Hl n k Democracy, which, while it boasts of being progrrrtive,' Is just such a 'progressive' institution as a cow's tail. Oataaat. The Corvallis Union, in aiknowldging the receipt ol Delusion's " medium of per onnl defense," snys nothing In praise of its sound Democracy or its editorial ability. Tills looks as though these two dirt-caters were not going to " pull even" to the same curt. Delusion is bound to be the biggest man in the ranks of the driven nigger edi tors who are pegging away for Humbug Jo, or kick out of the traces. He no doubt h is his coimn'ssion from Jo to lush these cravens tip to whatever line of policy he shall dictate to Delusion through his colored Saucho Punza. The driven niggers of the Union, T ines, Joiirnnl nnd Sentinel, may as well down on their marrow-bones, and bare llieir backs to Delusion's l.isli at once. They will stand it till Delusion begins to warm in pursuit of Senatorial honors, when ho will lush them at such a terrible rate thut they will liolt, nnd the result will be a "split" amonir the Lnne fanatics. When Delusion waxes warm he will ply the lash In such a way that these fellows will follow the " precedent" set by Uob Slater, a wood chopper on the banks of Duynu Sara, where the mosquitoes are said to be " nearly some." Bob, to win a quirt of whisky, Ut that he could lie on the ground with his bare buck upward.i, and let the mosquitoes bite him for an hour without ever wincing. Hob stripped and lamt to his duty l.ko a true Democrat. At the expiration of fifty min utes, his fellow, seeing that Dob was likely win the liquor, slipped up nnd laid a coal of fire on Slater's back. Hob grinned, grit his teeth, squirmed some, nnd tried to stand it, but finally juiiiM.'(! up, rubbing his back, and swearing he " could have stood it out if an infernal gaWn'pper hadn't lit on him." When these sectional dirt-cuting editors feci Delusion's lash a few moons hence, they will swear they can't stand a gnllinippcr even fur a quart of whisky. lbBy Varr. Delu.on has had the kindness to send us 77ie Oregon Democrat, in exchange, for which wc feel truly thankful, and are ready to attribute his failure to do so ut first to an oversight. It must hurc been a herculean task for the poor man to correct his proof sleets " by copy," us there aro nt least one hundred mortal columns in the four numbers wo havo received, mast of which was "setup" from Dcluitou's own manuscript copy. Tho ono hundred col umns we have glanced ut are nearly ull de voted to dishing up Delusion in as many tlffcrcnt fityliH. The Democrat who has any taste whatever for Delusion, cannot fail to find a joint of him in some column of the Democrat served up just to suit his taste. The bill of fare at the AJbuny Dene ocrutie table ia gotten up muck ufter the manner of Peck's, who kept a one-horse hoarding house iu Cairo, Illinois, advertis ing a " table furnished with the best the country ufTords." Jones, who stayed a day or two in Cairo, put up with Peck, whose fare was varied as to the number of dishes, but the same routine every meal. Jones gives ti;e dishes brought on at each meal us follows: 1. Catfish Soup. 2. Catfish Fried. 3. Catfish Iloilcd. 4. More Catfish. 5. Catfish Omelet. . Cattish Uuked. 1. Cattish Stewed. 8. .More Catfish. I). ' Cattish Hashed: 10. Pickled Catfish. 11. More Cattish. 12. Cattish limited. 13. Dried Cattish. H. Cattish Jerked. 13. .More Cattish. lur readers will have a correct idea of the diet tho readers of the Democrat are treated to, by substituting " Delusion" for Catfish" in the above bill of fare. Mail Faimiik. Our Portland subscri bers failed to receive lust Saturday's Arjrus, and wc learn that this is the case with all of our subscribers iu Washington, Yam hill, and iu fact ull below Portland. Wc have made inquiries at the Post Office here, and Mr. Fleming informs us that our packages were regularly mailed on Satur- luy morning. We can account for this failure only by supposing the packages to have been put, through mistake, iu a sack with a wrong ' tug," or address (probably for Sun Francisco.) Other mail matter iH-snus our own is in the same fix. We wrote to Mr. Shipley, P. M. at Portlund, lint we suppose the letter was too lute to effect anything. Our subscribers, there fore, at the ubove named toints will receive the Argus of last week by return mail from San Francisco, probably. Memi vs. Delusion culls his paper a "medium of aeir-dcfrnse." Old Father Mattoon's Exiwitor was recognized by the association as a " medium of denominational correspondenc," but Muttoon soon con certed it into a " medium of self-defence."

The excitement of Gor. Wise was ro great tlmt he wrote a prw.lamation mly fifteen linei lone, and ordered artillery, infantry, and cavalry to the seat of war. The insurgents had drawn np a Provis ional Constitution and ordinances for the people of the United State, selling aside the present Government, and abolsliing shivery. I.kle KlreUaainf ttuUfw VWIitrlr! In Ohio, the Kcpuhlicnus hare elected their entire State ticket by about 17,000 majority. The Legislature is Ucpuhl.cun in both branches, thus securing a Itepubli- can United States Senator in place of Mr Piirfh. .. In Pennsylvania, the Opposition have elected their candidates for Auditor-General and Surveyor-Ocnerul, the only State officers chosen this year, by about 20,000 majority, and have carried the Legislature, thus putting n quietus upon the aspirations of .Mr. Bigler for re-election to the U. S. Senate:. Minnesota has acquitted herself nobly, electing tho Republican Stute ticket and the two members of Congress, by nbout 2,000 majority, with a Republican majority of 7 in tha Semite an 30 In the House. A Republ'eon will be elected Senator in place of Gen. Shields. Iowa elects a Republican State ticket, beyond n doubt. The majority will be ut least 2,000. The Legislature' is Republi can in both brunches. In Indiana an election lias been held on the question of culling a convention to amend the Statu constitution, aud for coun ty officers. The people oted, by a large majority, against calling a couvcnl'on. The vote, for county officers shows flutter ing Republican gains. In Kansas the people have adopted the new constitution by C.OOO majority. Georgia and Mississippi have gone Dem ocratic, us usual. Two Opposition mem bers of Congress have been elected from Georgia. Wil l Uaakrr aflfv It. The followers of Humbug Jo mny swal low Delusion, dished up as he is in the Dem ocrat in many different ways, with a gusto for a few weeks, but we fancy that the stomachs of even the most gonna ndiziug dirt-enters will soon rebel against being stuffed with one kind of meat all the time. They will soon get to taking it as Snipes took the crow. Siiiieskepta bonrd- iiig-nousp, inn set a miserulile table, at which one of his boarders grumbled. Snipes said he "didn't see the use of people bein' so particular about what thry eat as to himself, hi could eat anything." " S'posc you could eat a crow?" responded the chop lallen boarder. " Yes, I could cat a crow," said Snipes. It was agreed amon,' the liourders to test Snipes' capacity this way. Consequently a crow was killed, dressed and put over the fire to boil. While bcinjr cooked, a mischieveous ft How slipped in a plug of tobacco for seasoning. Dinner being announced, the crow was set before Smpes, at the head of the table. The landlord managed to " worry down" half a dozen mouthtuls or more, when his pule face, covered with prespirution, and a short pause with a long breath, gave iuti mation that he " wasn't about to make out a dinner." A mi you can eat crow. Mr. S snipes: said an Irishman just lord.

Tiie second npH-arunce of this delightful doctrine over which our Democratic liieudi swagger and boast so much, was in the Na- t'oucl Democratic Convention in 1S4S, when Mr. W. L. Yancey, of Alojiumo, . purled the following resolution: Resolved, That the d'a triiie of iioii-inter-fi-renci! with the properly of any portion 0f this confederation in the States or the Ter ritories, by tiny other than the parties inter ested in them, is the trim Republican doc trine recognized by this body. The vote upon its adoption was yeas 3l, nays SIC. The entire North voted uguint it, nnd thus the linetrine was cnijitwilUruKy repudiated at the tins. Its third nppruriilW was dur'ng (he ex citement of tlio Wiliuot PiovifO question, when quite a number of thn slave Stubs took courage nnd nsscd resolutions refus inj to support nuy man for the Presidency who was iu favor of the Yf iliuot Prnviju. Thereupon the dough-fares begnu lo flutter, nnd sought refuge from politicul druth by dodging the question in the celebrated " Nicholson Kttir," and thru broached squatter sovereignty for a tliirj time.
