Maryland is the onlj relic of the "Ameri can" party, that three .years since swept State alter State, North and South, and threatened for the moment to become omnip otent in the. Union. Massachusetts and Ycrmont are about all that remain to the Republican party notwithstanding its confi dent and arrogant predictions of eighteen months since, that thenceforth it would be predominant in the Nation. Now look at the Democratic organization over which the opposing factions had each ir. turn real tho burial service triumphant in twenty-six of the thirty one States of the Union. It only-required our New York victory to render the -Jatioual Democratic party us powerful in thA Union as it was in the palmiest days of Jefferson or Jackson. This is the old lesson; it but demonstrates a fact that had often been demonstrated be fore that the Democratic party is the par ty of the people. That, founded upon broad, general, nationul principles, is durable, in destructible. That any opposing organiza tion must necessarily be based upou some evanescent idea, aud consequently have but a temporary existence. . The latest combinations of the opposition have gone the way of those that preceded them, to re-appear iu some new phase "or shape, and theu after running through the j usual brief career of bpasting, blustering and defeat,. disappear in turn uudcr the pop ! ular condemnation. The question, What j will that new phase be must for some time i be an interesting one for the curious. Correspondence of the Statesman. Olymiia, Dec. 20, 1857.

His only qualification is that he is a carpenter! and mnv be made to sulwervR th ii!err-,t nf! a soft organization uf theartv, should such j a thing ever be e!Teled. The third is a I good, honest, upright, practical old-line whig a farmer, and a responsible man ! worthy cf the position. With one other j each i-iaa as commissioner, he would do sood i service. But that is net to the poi'.t now' presented. The appointment or naming i f j these commissioners, indicates a disregard for the policy of Our party, which h wholly inexcusable iu any body c'aimimr to be dem ocratic.

Jackson read from jin a strict document, the following : School dist No. 4 desires certain of its procecdiusrs le- gaiiztd by a special act cf the Legislature, Mr. WOODSIDES. I believe this char and for this purpose this bill was introduced. ter can be repealed by any snbsequeut legis The law requires that the selection of otti-j latere, but it appears" that r.o bill can be cers shall take pl-ice at the annual meeting t passed without a repealing clause, and I find whica is ti'.e hrst J? riday in April. .A por- t:on ot trie legal voters met upon tais uay ; but owing to the small number present, ad journed uutil the following Monday, when they transacted the usual annual business. The directors chosen by that meeting levied a tax of $1,500 for the building of a school house. Subsequently several enterprising citizens raised by private subscription the the sum of $3,000, which they added to the school tax, and with the joint sums, have buiit a fine academy. The inhabitants of this school district wish the right of this property vested exclusively ia this district. Mr. Brow u favored its reference to judiciary committee. Mr. COLE- According to the gentle man from Multnamah, it would be unneces sary to pass this act, since it is law; bat being better acquainted with the difficulty iu reference to this matter, tbaa my col league, Mr. Mathews who has been absent, I should oppose it, but since it is law, I will not. Mr. KING said, that since hearing the geutlemaa from Jackson, he saw a necessity V - . . 1 I -1 1 . 11 . -. . for referring the bill to the committee on s're to pass it without sucti a clause, saiis the judiciary, and would favor such a ref- j es me that such a clause should be inserted erence. .

Motion lost Mr. SPEAR moved to reconsider the bill incorporating tha trustees of Trinity School. Mr. Spear said he believed the bill was lob bied ia here, aed passed over the greeners Mr. JEFFERS. The objection to the bill didn't originate with a greener, nor a politician. There ought to be perpetcity se cured to those who douate money or proper ty for the benefit of cdacational purposes. 1 shall always favor the chartering of such institutions. There can be no abase exer cised under its chariered rights. And we ought to give every inducement for the dis semination of intelligence and rirtne. Mr. HAYDEN. There has been some remarks questioning the fairness of the gen tleman introducing the motioa to reconsider. With the light I Lave npon tbe subject, I shall vote against the bill, because there is no rt pealing clause attached to it. If there is a repealing clause attached, no one trill suSTer, or be injured, because no repeal will be made by a subsequent legislature unless there has beea an abuse of tae trust reposed in the corporate body. Mr, GATES. I wilt state my reasons for voting for the bill when it first catneap." 1 do not believe this lesislatare caa pass a Jaw which a fatcre legislature cannot reoeal.. inserted or net. matters not. The corporate body caa be dissolved by any future legisia tow. I have heard nothing to convince me to the contrary. Mr JOHNSON. I will not vote to re consider this bill, because I was not here when it passed, or I would have Toted for it. If the trustees do violate the laws.they are amenable to the courts; they can sue or i be sued. We should shield persons who in- 1 the requirements, or franchises granted to S them, are they amenable to the courts? j Who are the more proper guardians and 1 judges of the violation of chartered privi- i ieovs j ia every similar act of incorporation, a rc- pealing clause, and the friends of tne insti tution cannot complain if they- are placed upon an equal footing with other such insti tutions. I should also vote for an amend ment limiting the annual income cf the cor poration, for ia older countries many cf the corporations are productive cf evit. Mr. BROWN, of Jackson. We were as sured by the frieuds of the bill when it was first passed, that the legislature had the same power to repeal, either with or with out a repealing clause inserted, and now there seems to be some question as to the matter, and as it is a cardinal principle of tbe democracy, incorporated into almost ev ery bill that has been enacted, that the leg islature shall repeal at its pleasure, I shall vote for a'reeonsideratlon of the vote pass ing, also for the annexing of a repealing clause. Mr. MACK. In looking at the special acts of 1S55 6, I fiad a repealing clause inserted in each one, and it appears from that that there was some "necessity for it, and the fact the friends of the bill de- ct 13:3 Dosse. mere was tarei? aQaorao. ex.
