Attack Ikt Httktiltl CaaTtrrac.
Tli rrtIiiD(l Xewi contains in attack
-upon the Oregon Conference recently hold
in that fit the object of which seem to
be to get st Kc. Mr. Pesrne, the editor
of tho 1'iciDe Christian Advocate. This
attack is baud upon the publication In that
paper of part of a pastoral address, in
which the preachers at the Conference
pledged themsolres to their religious du
ties, ind to know nothing among their
flocks "sare Jems Christ and him cruci
fied" and in laboring in their profession
to spread that glorious news of peace on
forth and good will to men, to war against
sin, and to labor to extirpate that curse of
our nation, Slavery. Such sentiments and
declarations seem to have raised the Ire of
a gentleman who appears to have come to
this const clothed with the ministerial dress,
whose principal object seems to be to bold
up the beauties of Slarcrjr, as mors!, re
ligious, and industrial Institution and, in
doing so, to electioneer for Krcckinridge
and Jo Lano.
Strange as it mar sound, there seems to
be an admitted understanding between the
Slavory missionary and the Southern
Disunion party, that, under certain circum
stances, this Union Is to be divided, and
that Oregon is to be hung on as a tail to
the Southern confederacy and this Stare
breeding preacher hero Is to bring about a
stato of foiling lliut will induce our people
to adopt the patriarchal institution. The
United States South are all to be Stare
States, aud Oregon as one of them must
also be a Slavo State. That ia the pro
gramme of the Breckinridge Disunion lead
ers, and this reverend slave-'propagnting'
missionary Is one of them. Occasionally
his articles, as lu the case under consider
ation, appear in the News.
The position of the Methodists of Or
egon on Slavery ia generally this: with
their Illustrious leader, Joirx Wasur, now
in Heaven, they believe " Slavery the sum
of all human villainies;" as such they oro
opposed to It; they are opposed to it in re
grd to themselves and their children; they
are opposed to it as unjust to humanity,
to Christianity; they regard all men as hu
man beings, as redeemed by the same Sa
vior, and bound to the same ultimate des
tiny as themselves and they desire for nil
the sumo privileges of learning their duty
to thciniclves, their fellow men, and to their
Ood, that they rejoice in enjoying. They
do not want Slavery planted iu Oregon;
and they are opposed to the insinuating
way in which the slave-Uririug missionary
Is laboring. But they do not desire to In
terfere with other States or other commu
nities In regard to Shivery. The citizons
of tho Sluvc Stules are responsible for their
slave Institutions. We are responsible for
our free institutions, aud for their continu
ance. Wo do not believe that tho attacks of
tho News npou tho members of the Meth
odist Conference will result to tho benefit
of tho Slavery party. Thoso men who en
joy tho Hible, the Sabbath, the institutions
of religion, who " can sit lu security under
their own vine aud fig-tree," are willing !
tlmt others, without distinction of shade.
or color, or nntion, shall enjoy tho sniue
glorious privileges.
- Tho slave-breeding parson to whom we
bare alluded has probably mistaken his
calling. " Follow mo, and I will make
you Fithert of men," uttered by tho di
vine founder of tho Christian religion, was
hardly intended to license the traffic ia tho
bodies and souls of human beings.
MJ Pelu.ion is defending Yancey, tho
Disuuiou scoundrel. This ia natural, and
was to bs expected. Yancey wautcd "to
precipitate the cotton Stales into a revolu
tion' and divido tho Uuioii about a year
ago, but now, expecting to bt whipped in
tno detent 0r Ins candidates, Breckinridge
and Lane, is crying ptecati. Just iu
proportion as the Republican party whips
out Brcckiuridge and Lane, just so much
will Yancey, Keitt, DreckinriiW Lane 4
Co. shrink from the carrying out of their
P.aunioii projects.
I2r The Corvallia Uuion has letters
from Washington as lute as July loth, I
loriuing the editor that Breckinridge and
i.ane were certain to be elected. Toor
Slater gravely publishes tho letter! Now
ho knows this is all gammon. There ia not
a acnsibU man In the uation who has aa
idea of the success of the Breckinridgo Die
uuion ticket.

The annual meeting of the State Agri
cultural Society was held at Salem, com
mencing oo the 10th and continuing till
near noon of the 12th. We will briefly
state what we understand has been done at
the meeting. The constitution was so ar
ranged that hereafter elections are to be
held biennially after the present election, on
the third Wednesday of September com
mencing la 1802; that the officers then and
oew to be elected are to enter upon their
duties oa the first Monday of January af
ter they are elected, to hold their offices
for two years and until other officers are
elected and qualified. 0. C. Ilobblns,
Esq., was elected President the Coma
ponding and Recording Secretaries were
re-elected. Other officers were elected, a
list of which we will give next week.
It will be recollected that the State Fuir
was to be held the present year in Linn
connty, bot no preparations having been
made there fur the Fair, the meeting, by
resolution, determined to hold the Fair in
Clackamas county the present year. Sub
sequently, this resolution was re-considered,
onder the belief that there wss not timo
the present season to get up a Fuir credit
able to the State and the Society, and the
Society adopted a resolution expressing
their opinion that the Fair should be held
la Clackamas county next year, provided
the citizros of suid county would furnieh
convenient grouuds, with the necessary
fixtures, etc.
The new officers will go into office aud
hold a meeting in Sulem on the first Mon
day of January next, and it will bo neces
sary for our citizens to make arrangements
for the accommodation of the Society, so
that they can hold a Fair iu this city, and
present a guarantee to the President previ
ous to the laid January meeting.
We believe Hint the constitution as
amended ii in ample working order, and
that a Fair will be got up next year near
this city which will bring thousands of peo
ple here from California and every portion
of tho State, and which will do distin
guished honor to Oregon. There will be
on exhibition our best cattle, horses, hogs,
sheep, farm products, textilo fubrlcs, needle
work, aud other handiwork of the Indies,
collections of minerals, machinery of nil
kinds, agricultural Implements, and other
articles of mechanism, etc., etc.
Efforts will be mndo to render tho coin
ing Fair a great success, and to seenro for
it the confidenco and support of all tho in
dustrial iuterests of our St.ito.
We congratulate our cit'zens that the
first Onrcox State Fair is to bo held in
Clackumas county.
Gk. Hsnxmr to ns Thiko ! A dis
patch received at Ynka, and by mail nt
Sulem, announces that Qen. Harney is to
bo tried by Court Martial for his conduct in
relation to the San Juan Island occupation.
Tho fear is expressed that President Buch
anan and hia Democratic cabinet may ccdo
San Juan to the English, if not the whole
of Washington Territory. Buchanan, it
wnl be recollected was mainly instrumental
in ceding the territory from Int. 49 to 54

Sauk, Sept. 12, 1800.
Our city has this wet k been the theater
of uuunuul InUrca. The session of tht
Legislature for the purjw of electing two
U. S. Scuatori aud transuding other bus!
ncss pertaining to the varied and pressing
necessities of the State, has bronght ns a
lurge crowd of visitors. Besides members
elect to the Legislature, govcruiueot offi
cials, editors, reporters, lobby members,
and Interested spectators of transpiring
events, we Lavi rather an unusual force
comprised in tho list of "candidates for the
U. S, Senate." The 'candidates' ere oil
marshaled under either the YuuccyiU', the
Douglas, or the Lincoln luniier. I have
not been able to nreertain the precise nun
Ler belonging to each cluss, but, - from the
best count I am able to make of this dodg.
ing, drumming, aud very patriotic host,
there must be about twenty-seven of them,
about equally divided between the three
great parties. I notice that tho great ma
Jority of them arc- " Old Orcgoniuns," and
offer this is a reason among sundry second1
ary ones why they should be sacrificed on
the Senatorial altar. But I have noticed
that while these aspirants arc professedly,
decidedly, and pos.tivcly for an " Old Or
egoniun," tho qualification loses all its
furce so soon as it is proposed to unite upon
a particular man. Each candidate is quite
sound upon the " old" quulificntion as lung
as the thing is used iu a general scn.se,
with a fuir prospect of a particular per
tonal application but the moment su
effective union ia proposed upon I ho
"old" ba.-is, and the particular " Old Or
egoniun" is proposed us the person to
be offered up upon the altar of his country,
it becomes apparent that the qmilificutiou
has no particular churm unless it designates
me. The fact is that among a majority of
the nopirants of all parties, I have thought
I discovered a stronger desiro to promote
self than to advance the interests of the
country. There may be a magnanimous
exception or two to this rulo, but I think
as a general tiling, that the aspirants for
high positions here, havo iu their late brief
io fiih camr bicn unfortunute in trying to
s.t t.'.euiselves up before our peoplu as
patriots to be promoted hereafter for qtiul
ificnti( os of a b'gh ordi r of any kind. We
have heretofore been cursed enough with
demagogues, and I should hope tlmt with
a change of administration we should ha
a purer mid healthier political atmnspht.ro,
What is in the future, I know not, but I
do know tlmt tho only radical cure for the
evils suggested, is in setting the prop'e rigl
upon the true relations tlmt exitt between
this nnd that man's advancement, and the
interests of the country,
Tho Horssj organized last Monday with
no difficulty. The fusion of Republicans
and Douglas men was complete tho vote
standing 15 Yanceyites to 21 Republicans
nnd Dnmrlas Democrats. Tho fullowin
officers were elected Speuker, B. F. Har
ding (Pern.); Chief Clerk, T. Me F. Pat
ton (Rep.); Ass't Clerk, II. W. Allen
(Dcin.); Enrolling Clerk, J. B. Tichcnor

Tho Senato met on Monday with 14
members present. A resolution wns passed
to go into an election for permanent officers,
with Mr. Llkins of Linn in the choir
The Donglus men nominated Copt. Tich
enor for President, nnd the Lnno men nom
inated Mr. Elkins who u a Douglas Dem
ocrat, but as it was the best they could do
to use him. The Senate balloted some
time with tho snme result for Tichenor T,
Elkins 1 when they adjourned till Tues
day morning. In tho meantime, tho Lnue
men seeing Hint the Senate would probably
organize, held a caucus and concluded to
br euk up the Senato by leaving it and des
troying the quorum. Tho following men
aro said to have gone home Tuesday night,
but the supposition is that they are lurking
around Suntium City woitimr for runners
to inform them of what ranv occur : Brown
of Linn, FitJ.ugh of Douglas, Florence and
Monroe of Lane, nnd Mclteny of Benton.
Besides these, Berry of Jackson is said to
be in the city, but he hides himself and
cannot he found. On Tuesday, the Sen
ate mot with with nine members less than
n quorum and proceeded to a permane
organization by electing the following
cers: President, Luther Elkins JfJem.),
Chief Clerk, Peebles (Dem.), ATcitrk,
W. B. Daniels (Rep.), Enjsfling Clerk,
J. S. Ryncarson, ( Rep.srg't-at-anns,
Richard Barker, (Dcusjy Door Keeper,
J. Brown (Dem.) XThis mornini?
Kelly, of your connty, appeared nni
claimed his seat, which was granted him.
J. R. McBrido offered a memorial from
Wm. Lognu who contests, which was ta
bled. As matters now Btand, it is very
doubtful who gets the seat in fact, every
thing is in doubt. The Dongbis men have
just informed tho Ropublicaua that it is uo
longer in their power to do anything for
them, and that the Republicans are at lib
erty io loot out for any new alliance, if
they chooso. Tho fact is, neither the
Republicans nor Douglas men seem to
harmonize on a Senator. Nesmith and
Williams both urge their claims on their
rarty both are stulbom, and no com
promise seems likely to be affected. I think
a desr majority of the Republicans ere for
Baker, but present indications are that,
while Baker may be defeated on the ground
of hia being a m Oregonian, no old
Oregouian can combine strength enough to
elect him In canew If he or t no Col Ba
4
ker should get it in caucus, he has a gsunt-
let 10 run on joint bsllot, the result of
which is very uncertain, considering the
ndxed complexion of our legislators.
The Lane men may come back, and both
branches of tho Legislature may go to
woik. Hut I am certain they never will
come bsek till they see their way clear to
either prevent any election of Scnutors, or to
elect at least one of the Lone Society.
Difficulties an In the way of their doing
this, yet they tuny be overcome. Some
here pretend to say the Lane men ire
willing to give the Republicans both
Senators but this is merely a gull trap to
catch softs and defeat on election.
Some incendiary tried to Ore this city
Tmntlsy night lust. A quantity of dry
rubbhdi was placed in an old paint shop In
the southern part of the city, and fired.
Tho fljines were discovered at daylight
Tuesday morning, and extinguished after
they had burnt through the roof. A few
moments later and the whole block on the
cart side of Main Street would bare prob
ably been consumed.
The State Agricultural Fair has bctm
meeting in this city. Some important
amendments hare been made to the constitu
tion, one of which is a reduction of tho
initiation fre to one dollar. Mr. Robbins
of Portland was elected Presidcut, with a
vico president from each county. The only
ones I remember are Win. Dawson of Yam
hill, Amos Harvey of Polk, and Judge
Thornton of Benton. No Stute Fuir will
be held this year, it being thought to be loo
lute in the season. The Society recom
mended the board of mnnogcrs to hold the
fair next year at Oregou City. You will
no doubt get if, tinris some other plact
thould make a ttronger bid.
