ifflje (Oregon Clrgus. W. Zb Adams, Bditor. OJUQOW CITY I SATURDAY, JANUARY 20, 1801. The PrrsUtal's MrsS. When Buchanan was chcted to the high post which he has for four years disgraced mora than any man was lupjMMcd cible of doing four years ago, the orgnns of slave- brfC'ling everywhere, and eveu Mr, Boch nnaii himself, felicitated the country upon the dual settlement of the slavery quvNtion. Democrats grinned with smiles thut wrink led their Jobs clear back to their ears, rubbed their palms together with Loth hands between their knees, ami, rolling their ryebulls upward", exclaimed, "The nigger question it trilled there will be no more a'lilutinnOit Uaiea Is info the people hare decided in furor of the Comtl tution, or what is the same thing, they have endorsed the Cincinnati I'lutforot, the Nebraska Bill, and noii-intcrvention liencoforth the vexed qnention will be en tircly removed from Congress, and thrown luto Iho Territories, where it rightfully be' longs.'' The destruction of the Missouri Compromise, and the passage of the Ne braska Dill, were no more lauded by the Democracy as a "final teltlrment" of thu slavery question, than waa the elecliou of James Buchanan in 1350. We knew at the time that the slavery question was not settled we knew that the election of Bitch anan, or any other Democrat, would open up o fresh the slavery agitation, and prccip itato the country Into a convulsion eren greater than thut which folllowcd tho in auguration of the Douglas programme of 1854. We knew very well that the sub- stitute for the Missouri Compromise was the pro-slavery structure, not " by tliediriue art of PuIIm," but at the instigation of the devil a beast on which the Quixotic Guuiua ol slavery was henceforth to ride around "in quest of adventures." Wv knew very well that this Genius of cliivnl ry wus by no means ready at the innugnru- tion of Buchanan to turn his Rubral lloainunte into the pasture, hang bis lunce up on a peg, and dismiss his fire-outing Saucbo I'auzas, just because Buchanan and the Northern Democracy thought there was no more work fer the Slave Tower to do. The Genius of chivalry hud his work marked out he had sworn that the " con- tlict'' he hud entered sliould be on " irre prcssiblu" one that every citadel sncrcd to human liberty sliould be destroyed that tho frieuds of humauity should be "subdued" and that, failing to smoke out all opposition to nn unlimited spread of slavery, he would Sampson-like, bow him self against tho pillars of the Government, and invelvo all In one common ruiu. Wo saw nil this, ami predicted it, before Buchanan was inaugurated. But Dncli annn, either a hypocrite or unconscious himself thut he and his party belonged to the slnve-brecdiug interests, and that Ere eaters Imd tho same power to mould him, that potters have to convert a piece of clay into a " vessel of dishonor," told us that the slavery question had been settled nnd that, by one ef tho happiest of Dun ocratiu conceptions! With his heud full ' of this " settlement'' by a " happy concep tion," ho sat down to write his first message. Fire-eaters crowded around him, dictated tho matter of his message, mado him doubt about his " happy conception," or even his own identity, the result was Lit first me nigc had little elso in it but thu " everlast ing nigger question" Congress and the country have been kept in a continual up roar on the slavery question, during his whole administration tits Democratic party has been settling this " happily Bet' tied" question all the time and now we aro told in the hist message (thnuk God, it is his last!) of this expiring functionary, that tho slavery question isn't quite settled yet, nnd in fact ho doesn't see how it can bo settled no ns to savo the Union, unless the majority will surrender all their notions of right and of constitutional interpretation, and let the minority alter the Constitution so that It shall horeaftor read very plainly, as It now rends to him through sulumnuder spectacles, and keep ou altering It proba bly as often ns the salamanders get new light on the " rights" guarantied to the Cotton States. Mr. Bachanun seems to be very much opposed to Disunion, yet he really thinks, that in view of tho terrible " Norlbora aggressions," it would be no matter of surprise if the South did break off from the North, he thinks it is his sworn duty to execute the laws, but really, after very grave research, with tho help of Yancey probably, he cau't reully put his linger on the authority by which ho can keep South Carolina from dissolving the Union if she wants to. He thinks thut Lincoln will not be able, indeed he thinks he will not V to if he would, do any act contrary to tho Constitution as understood by Buchanan, but, if he does, why theu it will be a capital time for the Cottou States to ruite the Palmetto Dug. His message, take it all in all, ia well worthy of its author, and equally worthy of the Uumniou party or winch be is Hie beat. Ilia bint to the incomiug administration bout economy, alter his reckless expendi tures, and his suggestions about the im propriety of letting Government contracts to party whippcrs-in only, mast appear rather cool to one who has read Covodu's book. After reading his men-sage, we have littie doubt but that he ia at a good under standing with the Ditunionista and that the Collector at Charleston is retaining the focds in his bands to put into the new Carolina kingdom's treasury, by and with the adrics ef the Adalaistratisa. tial hi Neerk . That brilliant rxioucnt of Democracy, the Corrallis Villon, has been reviewing Mr, Trumbull's speech at Springfield, through s pair of leather otucle. Of coursa the Union doesn't like Mr. Lincoln's policy, sod objects to it after this wise: ."Therefore, alien Mr. Trumbull aaya that Lincoln us President " would defend the Stnto in which he received no rote against sny ewroachmeiit on their ennsti tutinmil rights as soon as he would one in which he receive d the highest majority," we understand that he will protect Stiitm in such rights only ns lie, the President, may construe tho Constitution to guarantee to them; that is lo nty, ho will administer the government upon strictly republican policy, disregarding the rights of the Southern Slutis as they are claimed by t'niu." 'that la, Lincoln, like Jackson, will sup port the Constitution as As nnderidand it, and not ns Jo Lane or the Corrallis Union understands it. What a pity that Mr. Lincoln shouldn't, like the Old Public Functionary, conclude to enforce the " rights of Southern States at they are eluimed by them," Instead of securing them such " rights" as he, and Washington, and Jefferson, " held'' they had. Among the " rights of the Southern States, as they are claimed by them," is new classed the " right" of disunion. It is said that even the Old Public Functionary is quite doubt ful about tin's being a constitutional right " ns held by them," and talks some of en forcing the laws as understood by him. The Union has with s masterly hand struck the key note that will harmonize all dis cords, nnd make the whole Union jingle like a jcwshnrp. Here it A I'rruidenl in adminielrrinj the government must re gurd Ihe Constitutional " rights of the South at claimed by Tnr.u" (the fire-eaters), and at the same lime refurd the rights f the North ai claimed by them (th" Ynn ccyites)! I No living soul but the Union could have studied up such o noble plan for harmony. If the Smith doesu't forgive him now, for packing " those cold victuals," it will be became he husn't yet eaten dirt eunugh to eusiiro a pardon under the " Con stitution ns uuder-tood by Men." llosrsr Conkkssiov. Tho Albany Democrat, which has all uhnig thought that the election of Lincoln would be the death knell of the Union, has since the elec tion, submitted Republicanism to a pressure in the best machine that could be got up on short notice by tho 1 devil' of that office, mid has actually squeezed out the real ' dis solution oil that bus so terribly alarmed the Democracy, und caused such a howl to go up from the tinctured throats of more than a hundred thousand Federal office holders. Tho Democrat, like a faithful sentinel on tho watch-towers of modern Democracy, takes a culm and dispassionate view of the 'impending crisis,' 'Northern aggressions,' or 1 irrepressible conflict, that will most surely be iiinugurated by the ad ministration of that terrible 'rail-splitter,' and culls on all Democrats whom it may concern to set their ' houses in order.' But we know that the Laud Office in this city is impatient to see the elephant as dis covered by the Democrat. Well, here it is 6aT " Tho most it ( Lincoln's adminis tration) can do is to reach the dockets of imimnuuis who are Federal ulucu-hold- ers."-jja The Democrat has hit the real ' disunion' nail squarely on tho head. Let the Union- loving 'federal office holders' give vi nt to their grief let them shed great salty tears over this ' busted Uuiou' just ns fast und ns big as they will let their tears bu bottled up and sent to Jo Lane to be stowed away in the archives of tho new kingdom of South Carolina, to bo used by the clergy of the Methodists South, for bnutisnml i purposes. Tiut Family. Mr. Martin, a rabid disuiiiouist, lately mado a speech in South Carolina, in which ho said that Jo Lane of Oregon Imd promised them the assistance of himself mid sous, in case South Carolina met with resistance from tho General Government in her secession movements. Joseph probably intends to organize him self, llibben, nnd tho rest of his family, into a ' Southern rights' nuti- irrepressible' ' put-roiV,' to prevent the niggers from in terfering with the diggers in their chival rous work of digging up South Cumlinu's silnd bunks mid shipping them off to Cuba. Joseph has laoked into tho Constitution, and he 'can't find nary claus tlmr, thut don't prevent no State from gwiuo out to stand.' Latest. It is said that the South Car- iliuiaus are now driving a brisk trade with tho Boston Yankees. The latest ar- rivul noticed in the Charleston papers, wus one of Cushing's vessels with a cargo of long-handled shovels from Boston. South Curoliua beinir bent on eoinif out of the Union, and not wishing to engage in un "irrepressible conflict'' with the govern ment, is reported to have come to the wise conclusion to dig up the dirt within her noble limits and ship it " boddaciously" over to Cuba. Several shin loads nflw " tile" are said to be already on the w - to thut island. 'Jo Lane ead sous' are said to hare free tickets for cabin passage on the craft that leaves Charleston with the lust load of dirt. fkiT Late news from A moor river says that tho Governor General of Eustcrn Siberia had signified his intention ts grant lands on the banks of the A moor to for- e'gnrrs who acknowledge the Emperor The emigration from Germany wai very lis.aae ikrlr trwa. 1. Thut the reMl of thu Missouri Coin promise wus a Southern and s Democratic measure. 2. That John Bell, of Tennessee, and Geucrul Houston, of Texas, were the only Southern Senators in Congress who voted against the Kann-Xehrakit bill ' 8. That of thos voting for the bill in the House of nepreseniatlres, ninety fire were Deniocruls siid fifteen were Whigs. " 4. Thut the Whig end some Democrat papers of the North opposed the repeal with all their power, styling the bill the ' Nebraska Iniquity.' 5. That a large meeting in the Park at New York, addressed by Hon. B. F. But ler, ffen. Jackson's Attorney .General, adopted an address egoinst it, declaring thut " The repeal of thut Compromise will be the virtual repeal ef all compromises be tween freedom nnd slavery, and will tcrmi' iiate forever all confidence between tho North and the South. The extension of slavery to Nebraska would sesure to tho Slave Slates a permanent preponderance in the Federal Union, which would enable theinlosway the Government In nil its branches, legislative, executive, and judi cial, with reference only to the interest of some 300,000 slave-holders, and without regard to the will or the welfare of 2,000,' 000 of free citizens." IU solutions were adopted of s similar import, and pledging the citizens to their utmost endeavors to prevent the repeal of the Missouri pledge of freedom, nnd, if it should be curried, then to uew and untiring efforts to restore freedom. They recom mended petitions so long ss thu door was open. 0. Thut of the one hurdrcd In the House who voted uguinst the bill, there 40 Democrats 4.4 of them from the free States and 50 Whigs, 45 from the free States. 7. "That on March 4, 1854, Mr. Ev erctt submitted to the Senate a memorial containing the signatures of 8,500 clergy men of New England and New York city, remonstrating against the Nebraska bill. When Mr. Everett resumed his seat, Senator Douglas took the floor, and de nounced the memorialists, impugned their motives, and challenged the charge that the passage of tho Nebraska bill was a breach of faith, us a base falsehood, de signed for political cfTuct. Senator Houston replied warmly and eloquently, defending the rights of thu petitioners and the course they hud pur sued." " In the House Mr. Appleton presented a petition 250 feet h length, signed by 3000 clergymen of New England, against the repeal of tho Missouri Compromise. The petition was not received." 8. Hcmembcr tho view of some Southern men ou thut Bill ns seen in the following from the N. 0. Crescent: Southern View or tup. Nebraska Bill. The F raits of Victory. The Nebraska bill has passed; a solemn compromise which protracted our Union thirty-four years, lias been trampled in the dust; the fol lowers at the beck of the Executive, in an ticipation of profit from its patronage, have raised the yell of victory, and cannons have been fired in the national capital in honor of tho auspicious event! And what, we ask, nr the fruits? Dissatisfaction, grief, distrust, indignation, nnd loss of confidence in Southern honor throughout half the States of the confederacy. V. 0. Cres cent. Remembering these things, and mnny more such, it will be seen by every fair man that the South have prepnred the way for their own present troubles. Lincoln's Cauinet. The wise scribes of ull political parties are still fixing np a cabinet fer Mr. Lincoln. Northern Dem ocruts and Southern Knownothiugs, it is predicted by tho 1 savans,' will be invited to take a seat in his Cabinet, while men of Iho same political complexion are to fill soino of the high offices within the Presi dent s gift. These opinions have been squeezed out of rather spongy ' savans' by tlie present disunion pressure. Those who think that Mr. Lincoln is spungy enough to bo pressed into a triangular shape by either devils or Democrats, will bo unde ceived by and by. ttir " We wish we could reach the ear of every mud-cup iu the lund." Albany Democrat. If, as yon say, you have a circulation of 2000 copies, you probably ' reach the car' of most of them. If you are lucky enough to ' reach' the pocket of even half of those whose ' curs' you ' reach,' you will be fully as fortunate ns the majority of doughfaces who depend for a living on the subscriptions of ' mad-cups.' Books at Auction! Messrs. Crandall & Co. have arrived in town with a lurge and well-selected stock of Standard and Miscellaneous Books, which are now to be had at auction and private sale. Their stand is in the first building north of the Main St. House. Cull early. They will lit apt to close ont this- evenimr. Snow. Lust Suturdar night snow fell here to the depth of five or six inches, und in conseqnence, three or four days of this week afforded more sleighing than has been witnessed here in ire yean.

The (act is patent here that we have bud littlu or no representation at court, lo amend tho wrongs committed nguinst Or egon City by the Donation Act. Now have reached the source of all the mischief, which I will hero briefly state." In the donation act, passed Sept. 27, 1850. There was incorporated in that law o pro vision reserving the Oregon City claim for Uniwrsity purposes. And although tho law has been passed over ten yenrs, still there has been no attempt inndo to realize nnythimr from said claim. Nor has there been anything, in the shape of hinds, se lected for thut purpose. But tho law is a dead letter; no person knows tho precise situation of things, nor does any person seen to euro whether school keeps or not Had either Mr. Stout or Jo Lane made a fair representation in Congress, this mischief might hove been corrected, the University been better off, and the heirs of Dr. John McLoughlin had justice dnno them, and no person would have been worsted. I hud hoped that Mr. Stout, who Is fully posted In this regard, would have done something more, during his brilliant career, to distinguish it, than thu mere act ot going out at Charleston. But in this we have all been disappointed. I hod looked for some redeeming act en the part of Old Jo, but in this too I have been disappointed. The Legislature of Oregon memorialized Congress upon the subject, nnd the people petitioned largely In favor of it, but to ull this our Solons at court gave no heed, nor have they deigned to notice these appeals for justice. Thus the matter rests, und thus it will continue to rest, I suppose, uutil the people's men take the mutter in hand. The persons who have been instrii mental in perpetuating this wrong, seem to be leagued (in interest, ut any rate,) with those who enacted it in the first place. Justice. En. Argus: I was present ou New Year's Duy at an exhibition given at the McAlpiu School House by the Pleasant 11-11 Lyceum, and was well pleused to see the exertions put forth by the members of thu Lyceum to school themselves in the art of oratory. An oration wus pronounced by Rev. T. II. Small, which wus followed by addresses from the following gentlemen: T. H. Wilson, ou the Pi-ogress of the Age; II. II. Savage; Union W. R Dunhor: Object und Aims of thu S. of T. Oregon Dunbar: Intemperance K. L. Hcbhurd: Tho American Union. During the inter vals, the audience, was enlivened by music from tho Belpussi Brass Baud, and singing by the choir. A discussion also took place between W. Cranston and W. U. Dunbar us to which was the greater evil, war or intemperance. After the discussion came the reading of compositions, ull of which were highly creditable to their uuthors. In the evening, the exereiseB consisted of songs, dialogues, and declamations, the Mo tors being, V B Towner, W Cranston, J L Ch nry, K L Hebburd, J P Watkins, R O Dunbar, Gen. Smith, Johu Hunt, T B Hunt, Doc. Reed, J A Kemp, Foster John son, and II II Suvugc. Short and perti nent addresses were then made by the fol lowing named members of the Belpassi Brass Band: J O Johnson, John Kemp, Ziinniser, Ficstcr, St. John, und Columbus Brown. I omitted to mention that the exercises of the duy were opened with nn appropri ate prayer by Rev. T. Powell. The wholo proceedings were managed well, reflecting great credit upon the marshal of the day J. Burnett, Esq., who superintended, upon the Lyceum which participated, ami upon tho community surrounding, and. presented a remarkable contrast to the hilarity nnd boisterous reveling in which tlie day is fre quently spent.

Fort Moultrie aud Castle Puu kney were in possession of the South Curoliua .Statu troops, muler instructions from the (Jover nor to hold peaceable possession for the protection of Government proiterty. The two forts were held by about twelve U. S. troops, who probably surrendered without resisting. No collision was unticiputed. The excitement was subsiding.' ' On the 28th Captain Humphreys was still holding tho arsenal. The Cabinet was iu scsss'ou six hours on the 28th. There nrc conflicting reports of Ihe pro ceedings of thu South Carolina Commis sioners. One is, that the Commissioners de manded the iuiUiediato withdrawn! of the United SlHt -s troops, or they would return to booth t.iiinliim lo pr- pore fur the worst Another is, that they asked thu President If Anderson's movement was by his orders: to which, it issnid, the President responded negatively, i-taling that Anderson acted on his own authority. They even requested the President to order Anderson buck to Fort .Moultrie; on wh'ch request, no action was taken by tuu Cabinet ut its adjourn UlCllt. It was stated thnt Postmnster General Holt urged defence of the Forts, and other members urged further eradiation, if neces sary. Hie act of .Maj. Anderson is gene rally commended by thu Union men ut Washington, and ull over the country, for this, iimoug other reasons, that Fort Moid- trie wus comparatively weak, nnd might be taken by a mob. Fort Sampler is impreg nable, und could le reduced only by siege, thus avoiding an immediate conflict. A letter from Maj. Anderson ton friend iu Diltimore, dated Dec. 25th, shows that he then contemplated the movement. l)n tha night or tlie 28th troops were pouring into Charleston from all directions. The Georgia troops had been called to join the South Carolina lorces. South Carolina resisted the forced loan: the $500,000, previously ordered, having been apportioned nniong the wealthy men of the State, under the nonaltv of their being considered disaffected. Postmaster-General Holt tins sent or ders to the Postmaster nt Charleston to re mit the balance due from his office; and if not complied with, tho demand of the Fed eral Government will be enforced. He will nlso order the stoppage of the mails if inter fered with. Maj. Anderson had discharged his car penters, because they refused to bear urms against South Carolina. The city of Wilmington, Del., fired a salute of 135 guns in honor of Anderson und his gallant baud. The Harriet Lnno was getting ready for sea with sealed orders. . All wus quiet nt Raleigh, N. C, on the 28lh Nov. Members of the Legislature were going home. Meetinsrs had been held in various counties. A Union sentiment prevailed, but hope was nearly pone. Florida ndviccs of the 27th show that four-firths or the delegates elected to tho Convention were iu favor of secession. Bids for the four million loan were open ed on the 28th. The offers ranged from 6 to 10 per cent, discount. No progress was mado in Committee's Compromise. The Republicans manifest n greot disposition to concession, but it was not satisfactory to tlie Southern ex tremists. St. Louis, Dec. 31st, 6 p. m.
