Instead of transcending, I have ndhered to j the Act of Congress to confiscate property used for insurrectionary purposes. If a ' in w law upon the same suliju t, shall lo proposed, it will bo duly considered. The Union must be preserved, nnd hence all de fensive means should be employed. We should not be in haste to i!t termine what radical and extreme measures, which may reach the loyal, as well as the disloyal, nre indispensable. The inaugural address at the beginning of my administration, and the message to Congress at the late special session, were both mainly devoted to the domestic controversy, out of which the in surrection, nnd consequent war have arisen. Nothing now occurs to add to or subtract irotn uie principles or general purposes s:a- led Hiid expressed in those documents. The lust ray of hope for preserving the I inon peaceably, expired at the assault on ,.npital, tn! deserves much the higher con Fort Smutcr, and a general review of sideration. Oipital has its rights, which what has occurred since, may not be nn- re as worthy of protection as any other profitable. What was painfully uncertain r;i;,t) m,r js" jt denied that there 'is, and then, is much belter defined, nnd more dis- j probably always will be, a certain relation tiuct now, and the progress of events is .between labor "nnd capital, producing mil- piuiniy in ine rigui direction, ine insur gents confidently claimed a strong support from North ol .Mason and Pixoii's line. The friends of tl.e Union, were not free from apprehension on this point. This, however, was soon settled definitely on the right side. South of the line, noble little Delaware went off right, from the first. Maryland was made to seem against the Union; our soldiers were assaulted, bridges were burned, nnd railroads were torn up within her limits, nnd we were many days nt one time without the ability to bring a single regiment over her soil to the I'api tal. Now, her bridges and In r railro.ids nre repaired nnd opened to the (Severn mi nt. She already gives seven regiments to the cause of the Union, and none to the enemy, nnd her piople nt a ri gid. r election hate unstained the Union ly n large inai T ity and u largir aggregate o:e l.:.: tiny ever l fore gave lo any candidate or any question. Kentucky, too, fur some time in tl'Mi'it, is now d.ciiiedly nnd utichai.gcibly ranged on the side ol the Union. .Missou ri is ci.inparalivelv ipiiit, and I l;i I'c-vc can not ngain be oiernm by the :i:i:rgiii?s.

It is not needed for n feeling , nere, mat n general nrguim'iu snonui no made in favor of popular institutions; but 1 there is one point with its connections not So backward ns most others, to which I nsK. briel ntteiition. It is an effort lo : place capital on nn cijiml footing with, il not above, labor, in the structure of the government. It is assumed that labor only available in connection with capital, ti, noluvlv labors unless somebody else owning capital somehow, or has the use of it, induces him to labor. I his assumed, it is next considered whether capital shall hire labor, and thus induce them to work by their own consent, or buy them nnd drive them to it without their consent Having proceeded so far, it is naturally concluded that nil laborers nre either hired laborers or what we call slaves: nnd fur ther, it is assumed that whoever is once n hired laborer is lived in that condition for life. Now, there is no such relation be tween capital nnd labor, ns assumed, nor is there any such thing ns u tree man being fixed for life in the condition of n hired la borer. !oth these assumptions nre false, and all inferences from them are groundless Labor is prior to nml independent of onpi- ( t,,. Capital is only the fruits or labor, !lm ii,-vt r could have existed if labor hail not first exisbd. Labor is the superior of tnal benefit. The error is in assuming that the whole labor f a community exists with in that relation, as few men have capital, .ind that few hire laborers, and with their capital hire or buy a few to labor for them. A large majority belong to neither class neither work for others nor have others working for them. In most of the South ern States a majority of the people of all colors nre neither slaves nor masters', while in the Northern, a large majority are nei ther hired i. or hire--men, with their fami lies, wives, and sons, and daughters, work ing for themselves, on their farms, in their houses, and elsewhere, taking the whole product to thcmsikts, and asking no fa vors of capital on the one hand, nor of hired laborers or slaves, on the other. It is not forgotten thai a considerable number of pii-soin mingle their own labor with capital. That i', they labor with their own hands nnd also buy or hire otlurs to labor lor (hem; but this is only a mi veil nnd not a. d'stinet class. No principle srM'd i-d:s!in-b. i! by iV existence of tl " D.Mii.d class. Again, as has n'n ady been sail!, thtr. is not necissarily any such thing as the free hired laborer being fixed for ll.nt condition lor life. .Many iudepi ndetit persons in tin se Stab1, n few years back in tie ir lives, were hin d laborers.

The near approach of tho timo when II has been custonmry to niako some arrange ment for the spring election, has elicited a good deal of iiiiiiiry as to w hat prepara tions ought to bo made for the next xlit i - oil canvass in tins Mate, ilia buttle that is now Deing waged witn tlio great pro- slavery rebellion that has long been in the progress of development, hus, for the limn being, pushed old political issue iu the background d wo find ourselves placed in n new position towards many of our fel- low-citizens with whom we linvo heretofore been in political antagonism. A general sentiment seems to hnve seized hold of the public mind, that there ought to bo a me ion of all such men ts are iu fuvor of sup- porting the Administration in its efforts to put down rebellion. That there ought to be such a union, is, lo our iniml, very plain bid tho best and safest method to cITecl il w hile it may bo very plain to some, seems to have staggered many well meaning men. We are induced to offer a few suggestions on this matter, by the urgent solicitations of many Republicans who hnvo written to us, and partly because tho matter has been ulreadv discussed in a portion or the tniblie press in Oregon. Wc have no rears what ever, that in any contingency any Hirliou or a secession ticket w hich will probably be run by the Lane tools under the name of the " Constitutional democracy,'' can lie h-etrd in this State. It will be buried iu oblivion by nn overwhelming majority wherever they run up the pirate llnj whether there be two or more tickets iu the field. Three fourths or more of the eople of this State will vote some kind of n I'nion ticket. The only oticstion now is, shall tliere be two Union tickets in the field, or only one.' 1 he idea held liy some liepuh- lienns that wc ought to hold a ooiiuntion, and tiomin.iV a lull Republican ticket, without taking any steps to secure tho eo- oK-ration of the loyal portion of oilier po- Illicit I parties, is, we think, a mistaken one. no ran sec no reas.in wny wnai is ae nominated os the " Union democracy," who are ns much in favor of maintaining the Government ns we, nnd who nre will ing to sacrifice I. re ami property to sccun its safety, should not be invited at leusl to unite with us upon what we may think to be a just nnd equitable basis. Wc aro nut sufficiently posted as to their desires and purposes to know whether suelt a Union could be tffected or not. ir it can- lint, it fchu!d not be our fault. If all who inter, st themselves in politics were honest, disinterested, nnd pntriolii: enough to lovo their country above party and ieroiml j.refernient, there would be no d;flictlHj whatever in the way and il the Union vote of Oregon should be divided between two tickets next Juno, it will be in conse quence of the inordinate ambition of dema gogues In re, as it w as iu Cuhfoniio, with the JUlue n suits ia ihe ci.d. w In canvassing this subject, wo might just us well look ut the lacU precisely us they ure. We are couicllcd to take things ju.it as we find them, und liol us wc would have ihem. Jf there were only two parties iu Oregon, w ith all Union Jlemocruts or all Hi hiiblieans on one tide, with the inisera ble iruitor faction headed by Lano on tho other, there would bo some difficulty. UH Iherealwnvs is in making ll.e ,,nrtv m. thinery woik smoothly, from tho fact that nvul tundiu.itei for olheo ore almost ure to sit up litul cluims, diflicult lo Lo ro- concihd to the MUi.sfue.tion of ull purlieu. The difficulty increases iu a tun fold proor- tion when it is attempted to blend two pnrtics, hitherto niitagoniktio and unrclent- ingly hostile on vitul issues, into one purty, upon a common platform, no mailer how strong may bu tho Loud of union (hut at- tracts them together. Although wo reel like Inking tvery loyal Union-loving Dem ocrat by the hund, and inviting liitu to co- operntu with us In our efforts to savo the (j'jvcrninent - und wc presume that they feel tipiully cordial towards us yet tho fact utands out ns plainly us anything can, that those who cull thcmelvej " Union Democrats" nnd those who cull thomselrei Republicans combine twit parties, ami not onr, in Oregon. If they compose ono par- ty, with the same record, tho boiiio plat- form in every respect, tho kuiiio aspirants, and the same leaders, then there might he soma Kci.su in their nil meeting together in general convention lo nominate u State ticket- Or iT tho prominent politician hi both parties wero nil truly honest, patriotic, nnd iiublimlcd by persuiiul Interest nnd In ordinuto oinbilion, then tho two parties might surely meet together lo nomiuuto a State ticket. Such s convention might be cxpeded to pluce befitro tho Union voters ol the Statu u ticket composed or tho iiutiKS ol such men as arc known to ho holiest, Hij,nbli'( nnd loynl - mm trhmr fxixl record is without n sluiit. Such ticket is what we must Imvo, and can gel but we never shall get it by any mk hotcli potch arrangement ns n general Un ion convention. It is not necessary to dis cuss this matter nt length here, but wo wish to warn our friends, Union Demo crats nnd llepublicatis, against sanctioning such n course. It will end in bickerings nnd jealousies that will hang like a dead weight on the ticket, ifil doseu't defeat it entirely. It will be building up n structure that sooner or later must be torn down. Wo think that one of two plans ought to be adopted. Milher let the Hepublienn State Committee call a Republican con vention to nominate i Union ticket, or let them call the convention in the usual way Let our Union democratic friends, if ihey choose, cull 'heir convention, to inert at tho same time nml place. These Iwocon editions can confer together, and agree upon n ticket that will bo satisfactory to all parties, ami which will carry more strength than n ticket gotten up m any other way. Such an iirraiigement would bo fair, honorable, satisfactory, nnd safe; while any other will, in our humble opin ion, bo ruinous. Men who have nxes to grind, and who huve been, by much cor rcspondence, tickling each other with the idea that they are to be candidates before a grand Union convention, will not I ke this arrangement, but honest politicians of common sagacity, we think, will We hope our friends w ill weigh the mat ter well before they net D.uis a I'mtkii Status Sksatob, anp Davis a Rkiih.
