AnAIIKu lIUiMl, - Tave VMIUeal CUrgr A - Tho last Salem Christian Advocate has an editorial article (a reply to what we said upon the above subject week before last, in connection with the conduct of the Rev. Mr. Ktugslcy at the Portland primary meeting, and at the election. The Advo cate's article abounds in coarse epithets, such as unscrupulous," "corruption," " infidel," " atheistical," " cowardly," Ac, and in uu fairucss, and disingenuousness. We propose to make a Tew extracts from it, and briefly comment upon them: 8vh attacks eshibit rross ninliirtiity. Their author know that thU wholesale traduction and aspersion of tho entiro protectant clorry of our Units obviously Intend a blow against all true their nrinciple In the dust of political r, and do the behests of party, right r v nrtm ounce alt aach wholeaalo dfa- epodiT, mathjn. Watler whaluvrr name it ia indulged, as innueiuy. We. there fare, soldi v deaoaaea such indiscrim inate assaults upon the ministry as essentially intolerant, per cuung, oiaeisuc. The editor or the Advocate knew wucn he penned the above that it was based upou false assumption, and raise statement. He knew that there had been no " wholesale traduction," " wholesale defamation" or, or indiscriminate assaults" upon tbe clergy. He knew that we did not so Intend. We referred to a portion of .the clergy, designat ing them by a common, appropriate and de scriptive title " Political parlous," or " po litical ministers." . Can any man confound with "political ministers" those who are not such, and claim that the denunciation of tho first class is an "indiscriminate assault" upon all? In censuring' a political priest hood, is it necessary to a correct understand ing, to specially explain that there are some clergymen who are not politicians! Justus necessary would it be in reflecting upon a uaud oi norse tiucvcs to add that there arc some men who are not horse-thieves. We havo reflected upon the political char actcr of political preachers, yet the Kpisco palian and Catholic clergy, who rarely ever are politcians, hare not understood them selves to be referred to. Nor has there been any more occasion for the Methodist, Congrrgationatist, Baptist, or clergyman of other denominations, who was not a politi cian (and there are some who are not) to consider himself included. As we before said, the editor of the Advocate knew this, and was guilty of a wilful perversion or our language. When we speak of " political parsons" we mean such, and none othcr.- But the assumption of the Advocate, far fetched, that " these assaults obviously in tend a blow against all" ministers, "all true religion and all religious men," with its ad raptnndum appeal, marks the small dema gogue and uncandid man. From the " ex cept those ("religious men") who will trail their principles in the dust of political ex pediency, and do the behests of pnrty, right or wrong," we understand that the editor of the Advocate holds that a man can " trail his principles in the dust" and do " wrong and still be a " religions man." Wc can un derstand nothing else from his language.- U that is the " truo religion" he is so con cerned about, we hope to be spared from its effects. , . It is cowardly ami nnmarnaninioas to asrail ministers as is sometimes done, because it is well Known tncy are, as a eiass, non-resistant, it Is base thus to attack them in reneral terms, and in- nendo, because their success as mi it is tor depends upon meir isir tamo, upon their character tor pu nty and integrity. mi t . . . . ... me pmpu is me last place irom winch a charge of " cowardice" should emanate. It is a charge which has been ever laid, and justly laid at its own door. It is the com mon practice of a class of miuistcrs to deal oonoxious assaults irom ibo ocsk, knowing that the assailed cannot be permitted to ex plain or reply before the same auditory, and to refuse an opportunity for reply, if sought. " Cowardice" should never bo uttcrrcd iu that quarter. ir his " character for purity and intcgri ty" is kept unspotted, tbe clergyman need never rear " attack" or " innendo," however "base" or "general." Junius says: Re proachee have no power to afflict either the man of unblemished integrity or the aban doned profligate; that it is the middle, com pound character which alone is vulnerable; the man who without uprightness to avoid a dishonorable action, has reeling euongh to bi ashamed of it. If tbe editor of tbe Ad vocate will " examiue his own breast," gen erally, we think he will be struck with the correctness of Junius' knowledge cf the hu man heart. Whence, then, this -tendency to the wholesale defamation of ministers f Why is occasion so frequently token, to hold them up to public sus picion and scorn T There is no such tendency, and frequent occasion is not taken to bold tuem np to " suspicion aad scorn." On tbe contrary, the reverse is tbe fact. A portion or the secular press" carefully exclude from their criminal record the names of clergymen whose acts have earned them mention there. With rare exceptions their. crimes are not published to the world as those of other classes are, except in cases of gross depart ure from morality on the. part of such as have turned politicians, and boasted or ex tra morality. It it natural that in such in stances an; "ungodly"; opposition press should give prominence to their deeds. " A general reason lies in the spleen cherished against Christianity itself. . Thia "reason" is moss-covered .with age. It is as eld as the earliest opposition to the pretensions of priesthood. Differ in any re spect with aa Intolerant and bigoted (now, wa don't mean those who are turf so!) cler gyman, and yon are an " infidel," " atheist," and opposer of " Christianity itself." The Parrishes aad Osgoods of 1812, whose pul pits resounded with treasonable doctrines, Land Impious prayers ror defeat and Hizzrtzi upon American arms, crfcd out " luOdelity," " atheism" and enmity to " Christianity it self," when a brave pecple and a patriot press denounced their treason, and reviled their teachings. When the noble Douglas administered a rebuke ns withering as3t Was merited to lie " Three thousand Mint who prostituted the name of the Most High to tho service oT a traitorous party the whole blasphemous, pack yelped .J infidel Douglas," and ," infidel democracy." And parrot-like, the editor of tho "Christian Advocate" chimes In, " iufidelity,"; " athe ism" and " spleen against Christianity itself." Hut a more Siwlc rause may be assigned - l'olitical tttou and parties sometimes awk ends and adopt nieaures of qiientionnlile nionUKy: i. . qnestionahlo to men who r'(riird chriatian morali ty nltovc all mere nrty discipline, and a nr mouut to all mere convenlionnl rules and regula tions, and as more imperative than fealty to par ty. MinUtcrs and 1-firintiann can never subject their religious principles to the eoiitrul of nwtvt they will brook no such trammels, as - I -r party jnay iiius tnrow around tiiein ' Here Is the old charge we rebutted, and tho old prtlensiou wo exposed. That poli ticians, ns a class, were corrupt and " iui- moral," and that milliliters roust tnru pollli- morality." We tnaiutninedthat-thejHiad everywhere corrupted hud debased whatever in politics they had touched, and wo appeal to the history of politics in tho United States for the last three years for abundant proof. - The Advocate talks about " christian mo rality" being " above party discipline," and " more imperative than fealty to party." It must be recollected that we were discussing the conduct of the He v. C. S.-Kincsley. i voluntarily going into aud taking part in democratic primary meeting, and virtually, if not in terms, giving assurance that be would abide by the action of the county convention, of which it was a constituent part, and then faithlessly spurning his obti gations. In reply to this, the Advocate talks about "christian morality" beinir ",mr- amount to conventional .rules," and !m pliedly justifies the conduct of Mr. King ley. If "christian morality" consists of bad faith, fraud, and deception, not to say mora! iierjury, it will bo fortunate for the world tf its propagation is limited. Nobody cotn- (iclled Mr. Kingsley to tako his " christian morality" into tho primary meeting. Ana when he did so he knew upon what condi tions it was done that he was bound is honor, aud by all "morality," except "chris tian," as defined by the editor of tho Advo cate, to abide by tho action of the meeting hen ministers turn politicians, they ought to be bound by just as good faith an areoth cr politicians. Tlicy hare no more right to cheataudlie iu polities, than would the politi cian have in the church. And if there was net such a siivinor and pardoninir irrace in "chris tian morality," it would be quite as bad for the clergyman to falselypretcud. to belong to a political party for the purpose of be trarlng aud disorganizing it, as it would be for an " ungodly" man to falsely pretend to lie a christian .for the purpose of disor ganizing and dishonoring the church. Minister have as crcat a slake in the welfare of the country, as thorns who follow politics a a iraue. Any politician" we know of has quite as much reason for accusing the Adrocote editor of following preaching " as a trade," as be has to thus accuse tbem. We are vastly mistaken if we do uot follow publishing, and the editor of the Advocate preachinir. for one and tho same rcasou to obtain livelihood, as the principal. It is utterly vain fur political men to iiunirine there is no connection between their political cunuiict ana tncir mo And it is a base slander to assert that political men, as a class, do so imagine. I here are corrupt politicians, as there are corrupt lawyers, or preachers, but they are the exceptions and not tho rule. We rep robate the saying that " all is fair iu poli tics," and hold that politicians should, of all classes, be upright, honest and worthy We scout the idea that a man may bo dis honest in politics, and honest in other mat ters. The character he exhibits in the one respect he will exhibit in the other. But the Advocate editor, with pharisaical com placency, has prated "I am holier than thou," until he has strongly impressed him self with the notion that his journal com prises all tbe piety, virtue, morality, &c, to be found in the Oregon press. We believe a portion of the " secular press" has exert ed quite as moral and beneficial au influence upon the Oregon public, as has the Advo cate, although the latter claims a monopoly of the christian graces. "They who cry church, church, at every word. Have no moro piety than other people. The daw is not reckoned a religions bird ' Because it sits cmwimg on a steeple." It is a " fellow feeling" which brings the Advocate to the defense of the reprchensi- blo conduct of partisan clergymen. - The " things of this world" occupy uo small space in tbe editor's affections, and not least among them, is a love of rnle and power. .Naturally a demagogue, essentially a trim mer aud time-server, he proceeds cautiously and as he thinks the public mind will bear it, to the advocacy of the " legal suasion" and fanatical doctrines, of which his heart is brim full. An ardent Maine-law man, be says little about it, as it is not now popular. A warm free-soiler, he follows at a distance the Western Christian Advocate, an aboli tion sheet, published at Cincinnati, G ' and contents himself mostly with copying freedom-shrieking accounts of Kansas affairs, and denunciations of the supreme court. To do more now might" occasion a loss of sub scribers. But ir ever the popular breeze chances to blow in the direction of his fa naticisms, we shall witness Beecherism on a small scale. In perfect keeping with tbe character of its conductor, tbe Advocate is half-and-half something, nothing ; part "re ligious" and part " secular," and .both, like the sailors praying and swearing in a storm, so mixed hp that neither does any good. , Those having Caynse claims not set tled are referred to oar advertising columns. 1 . Whistling Iu er-Tjrsril. The Standard set up a shout of victory at soon as it had heard from the httitually Cf position counties about It, but lengthened its, face powerfully when tbe full returns exhibited the largest majority for the demo cratic candidate for delegate (running on the ' Saltm vlatfrrm") he had ever received a larger than common real democratic ma jority In the.

If McCormick has dis- seutcd from any of the Territorial resolu tious, it was simply as to the propriety of the one relating to the Standard. He nev er questioned tho correctness of the charges contained in the resolution we believe, aud sustained those relating, to organization Lovejoy aud Kelly, and probably Bobbins, also stand unequivocally upon the plulform, as we understand, and adhere strongly to the organization. So unquestionable was Love- joy's position, that, as in tho case of Wait, the opposition refused to vote for turn, though not having a full ticket of their own. Farrar adheres strenuously to the organi zation aud endorses all the resolutions but the unti Standard one, and personally dcnoiiuccs that sheet. These make 33. Paul Brattaiu, Moorcs, and Oluey were elected upon the oppositiou ticket, but, tho first aud last, at least, and perhaps all three of them claim to bo democrats and it is said endorse the Territorial platform, aud will support the democratic organization. W e are uot cer tain that Moorcs thus stauds. Oluey was called upon duriug the cauvsss by the oppo sition to oppose the platform but declined to say anything about it. Of Prim, there are contradictory reports. He was a whig, cloc elcctcd unon the democratic ticket. Wc understand that prior to the election he an nounced himself opposed to tho platform, but subsequently, aud before the electiou, we are informed he recalled that and endors ed the idatform.

The Standard has averred that Mr. Smith was the author of the letter. We find by reference to the manuscript that he was not the author.

Dkb Bush I see in tbe last issue of the Occidental Messenger, under the caption of Jieoton in error," tbat the editors state "It ia true that we do uot know Mr Avery as well as wo will after we have been awhile iu Oregon, but thus far we have heard nothing to his disparagement, save through tbe columns or the Statesman."- y " ' It is strange, at least, that two democratic editors should reside iu town no larger than this for the period f four weeks, and not have InsTz' , the disparagement of J. C. Aery political character, when it is notorious that lie, with his band or sore headed democrats, who, be mg highly incensed at not being able to con trol the Democratic Convention ia this county, bolted the nominations thereof, form ed a coalition with BiJJle's and Hovey's bands of factionists, and with the black re publican party, and thereby was enabled to defeat the entire democratic ticket. I hardly think tbat the editors of the Oc cidental Messenger will tolerate a course of this character without censure. Yet they have got to swallow that and far more, if they undertake to defend the political char acter of Avery. I understand that Buckingham has come to the conclusion to contest the scat of Col. John Kelsay in convention to form a State constitution. He was very uncertain and indefinite about the matter, until after he had a conversation with Avery. The thing was then settled, and the uncertainty van ished. .Nevertheless, Avery is very anxious to keep, what they have done in the premises a profound secret He thinks by taking that course they can induce tbe CoL and his friends to join their little, contemptible fac tion. Yours, &e, VERITAS. Spencer's Creek, Lane Co., O. T. Editor Statesman Sir : The season having so far advanced as to show to tbe far mers of this vicinity tbat the wheat crops of this season are more or less affected with smut, it is high time that all were casting about for a remedy, either in tbe form of a preventive or cure. I have tried an experi meat, trifling as it may appear, and I am am willing to let it bo known. I sowed wheat on fallow ground. Sept. Ctb, and Oct. 1 3tb. Sowed old seed (that is, seed that was over oue year old at tbe time of sowing) harrowed twice, relied once, and left it to the mercy of grasshoppers. I treat ed both sowings alike, and tbe land was the same; but iu finishing on the 13tu, sowed one east across the piece of new wheat. It now Stands thus : that sowed Sept Gtb, fine, large beads, aud ne smut, i Tbat sowed Oct. 13th (old seed) not quite so heavy headed, with some smut. The one east through the piece of new seed is one-half smut. , I also served a piece of stable ground, of fall breaking, with the same kind of seed, and same kind of land, en tho 30th of October. The wheat is probably not quite so heavy as that sowed 13th, a little murv smut than the old seed ptoduccu, but not half so much as tho ono cast of new seed. From this I conclude that early sowing and old seed aro to some extent remedies, or preventives: and I might add summer fat towing. I conclude that Fall plowing, and late Fall and Spring sowing are calculated to create weakness aud disease in wheat, and hence, smut. From. what experiments have tried in a small way, I am satisfied that Summer sowing, say May or June, would soon prove au enectual remedy aga smut. . Wheat should stand iu the ground fully twelve months, and if longer, so much better. Yitriol is said by some to be a cure for smut I should be glad to get the experi ence of some one or more who has used vit riol with good or bad results. . I think tbe question is one of sufficient importance to call for the experiments of practical farmers, and tbat they should be made known through the public press. If tou should think the foregoing worth preparing and giving to tho public, you will do so ; otherwise, not. 1 remain, sir, very respectfully, yonr ob't serv't.

D. H. Bodink, See'y. : . , Tbe War Claim Commissioners have returned to Fort Vancouver. a sarassi tfr aa m.urr e o. SaclOa Coart. Accompanying tbe act to enable tbe peo ple of Minnesota to organize a state gov ernment, was one passed in the House, dur ing, the last few weeks of Congress, to au thorize the people of Oregon to take simi lar steps for that Territory. It defined the boundaries of the State to be tbe Colombia river on the north, the 120th parallel of longitude on the east, and tbe California boundary on the south, making an area of 46,000 square miles, or about tbe same ss New York and Pennsylvania.- The remain ing 140,000 square miles of the Territory were to be reserved as an Indian country, or for a territorial organization whenever it should aeem desirable. , Tho bill was taken up in the Senate on the 2 1st of February, and so amended on motion of 31 r. Stnart of Michigan, as to make the area of the pro posed State 94,ooo square miles, the bound ary running down Uw Columbia river 280 miles to the 4Cth parallel of latitude, fol lowing tbat parallel, eighty miles (on the present boundary) to Lewis's Fork, and then running down Lewis's Fork to tbe Owyhee river, where a direct line for 115 miles would meet tbe present southern boun dary. The Senate also amended the act by throwing the remaining western portion of the territory under the jurisdiction of Wash ington Territory, but the bill was then drop ped and was never passed, v The people of Oregon, at our latest advi ces, bad heard ofahe passage of. the bill ia the House, and never suspecting its loss or defeat iu the Senate, were actively engaged in a campaign for tbe election of a consti tutional convention. The House bill pre scribed a convention of CO delegates, and arranged the districts for their election; bat the legislature, at that time in session, dis approved of the delegate districts, and divi ded tbem anew, according to its own idea of the fitness of things. Under this latter di vision nominating conventions were being called, and an active campaign was being wstred for the manufacture of a free or a slave constitution, the democratic party very generally going in for tbe latter. The Oregon Statesman, edited by Asabel Bush, late of the Westfleld, Mass., Stand ard, a gentleman who was one of the rank est pro-slavery democrats that tbe democra cy ever boasted in this State, leads off in the pro-slavery movement, denouncing the Wilmot proviso which the territorial 4:t threw" over tbe Territory, declaring that "it has been utterly without influence or effect' iu forming the sentiment of the people or preventing tbe immigration of slaves, ftome of whom are udw in the Territory, it ssy?, held nomiually as rreemeo,) and joyfully re cording tbat " there has never been so strong a party in favor of slarery in Oregon, as there is to-day." The Statesman complains most bitterly tbat the enabling act makes tbe State limits no larger, and many of tho nominating conventions censured Mr. Lane, the delegate, because be used no inflnence to increase tlie area, lue btatesmaa, howev er, defends Mr. Lane by saying that be was " himself dissatisfied with the boundary, yet made ho effort to change it because be saw it would be of no avail," and then spreads a plaster over the wounded feelings of the de- mocracy, uy biutmg that if a slave constitu tion is adopted it would not be impossible to ?et an extension. When the Oregonians Gud out, as the j have doubtless by this time, that no enabling act has been passed by Congress, they will probably be contented to wait for admission as a slave State nntil a suflkiient popriJatiuu enables them to de mand it. - - The course of the Statt saiau and the dem ocratic party in this matter of slavery, was enlarging tho republican or "free state" ranks by hundreds, or, as a correspondent of tbat papef very" aptly calls it, " purify ing the democracy." The republicans were hold ing meetings iu all parts of the Territory, and were preparing for au active conUst in favor of freedom. A large meeting at Eu gene City was presided over by D. M. ltis don, one of the local officer? in the Territory, late a prominent leader in the democracy, aud a larger portion of the persons in at tendance were recruits from the same party. Tbe hunker whigs ia Oregon, as at the cast, are joining the pro-slavery democracy, and are "doing a great hardship to the party," a a correspondent of the Statesman says, " by overdoing tbe thing." All in the con test is working for good, for by the time the people find oat that they have no constitu tion to make, the democracy will have shown its true spirit and intent, aod greatly "puri fied itself' to the advantage of freedom. We copy the above from the SpriogSeld, Massachusetts, Republican, & leading black very black republican paper of that State. It is quite a pretty piece of exag geration, and we insert it, to let Oregonians - see what black republican " mare's Bests" are made of in the Atlantic States. The j . . f . . . 1 1 ... reaaers ot toe otatesmna wilt reacuiy per ceive wherein the picture is over-painted. Among other things, they will smile up ia Lane county at the announcement that D. M. BJsdon was " late a prominent leader ia the democracy!" The Republican seems to be possessed of a good deal of information . respecting Oregon matters not known to Oregonians. ' .What benighted creatures we are " ous Here in the timber?" t& A large family of colored persons. manumitted by the will of their late mas- ter. a ereutleman of Montc-omerv.

Their mas-! tcr left about $12,000 to tbem, with their freedom, on condition that they should re-1 move to a free State; and one of tbe execn- i tors has recently purchased one or two boo- . ses and several lots for them, and the chil dren are now attending one of the public . schools. If any one will take the trouble to wat " tbe fate of this "family of colored persons" for twenty-fire years, ia the free States, we -are confident they will be compelled to ac knowledge that their condition was made ' worse by manumission mat tney would have fared better, and stood higher in the scale of being, as slaves, than at the end of i that period they do as " freemen. ; ' Delazon Smith delivered an oration on the 4th at Eugene, Judge Williams, at San tiam Forks, J.
