DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE.
LANSING STOUT, Af.fcoi-a.
"HATE WE A BEXM-UTIC
This question, which has been recently asked
of the nation, we, in mil svrionsness, ask of this
new State of Oregon I ; "Have we a democratic
party among u?M
We did hare a democratic party and a dem
Vwratic organization, but where is it, or who com
pose it now If it exists, the sonl and spirit of it
is an orgnninod band of brainless personal
adherents, freshly drawn from opposition ranks,
and as" .vindictively determined as ever, to de
feat and drive from public confidence every man
whose record marks him as a faithful, consist
ent Cewocrat, If it exists, it presents the strange
"anomaly of an organized foe within, engaged in
the work of the destruction of the democratic
.party, and the proscription of democrats, a
"work they have labored in vain for years to
accomplish nnder the enemy's colors, rind in
the enemy's ranks. If it exists, a democratic
record is worth nothing in it. All men who
have observed the events of the past year,
know that we speak words of truth and so
berness. In the late "democratic" legislative
caucus for the selection of a candidate for the
U. S. Senate, were men of the opposition, men
elected by tne conglomerated opposition, includ
"bag the black republican interest, and interests
even more virulently opposed to the democracy,
than the republican. And, in that caucus,
called democratic, these men represented these
interests for, admitting, for the sake of argu
. merit, that they are now democrats, they were
not in the caucus representing themselves, but
they were there representing the men who elected
them.. Did they represent the democratic party ?
In tluir election, the democratic party in their
several counties was defeated. ''Men 'were in
that caucus w ho were elected over Watt, Tha ver.
Cole, Perham, OBryant, ore., regular nominees
of the democratic . party. Ia their defeat
the democratic party of the district? in hich
they ran, was defeated and defeated by a re
publican coalition. The men viho defeated
them have now just left seats in a democratic
caucus, in which they represented, not the dem
ocracy of their counties, for democrats did not
elect them, but the opponents of the democracy,
And, in that caucus, they held the balance ci
power, and made a "democratic nomination."
Those men, thus elected. Lad no mere right, in
strictness, in that caucus, than had Dryer, Cor
nelius, Nichols Are. Indeed. tLe latter was
nominated by the same convention w hieh placed
Mclteeny and Slater in nomination, and was
elected upon the same ticket with them.
In the late Lane caucus over the "Xonpa
reil saloon." the caucus v. hich recently made a
-democratic nomination" for Congress, a mem
ber of the convention from YaniLill, whocc
statement we published last week, says the test
of membership was, not. are on a democ rat,
elected by a democratic constiraency ? bot
are you afriemd of Gen. Lane .' That, with
"are jon opposed to Grover!" was the tot cf
membership of the body in which the nomina
tions were made, the platform adopted, and the
officers and committees of the convention select
ed. Are thos democratic tests? And can
there be a democratic party founded upon them?
Gen. Lane is abasing the power with which
the democratic party clothed him to strike it
down and construct a man party upon its ruins,
and he is proscribing and, so far as lies in his
power, disgracing true and faithful democrats
for perianal reasons. At the same time, he
supports and keeps in oEce bolters for personal
reasons.
Have we a democratic organization in Ore
gon? ty Hon. Schuyler Colfax, a republican mem
ber of the late Congress from Indiana, has a
letter in the last Orcgonian, from which we
make the following extract :
When the bill for your (Oregon's) admission
passed the Senate last May, 1 supposed, with
others, that it would be pressed to a vote in the
House before the adjournment of the session ; in
which case, if the democratic members had sup
ported it, it could have gone through by an
overwhelming, if not well nigh unanimous vote.
But the election of State officers, and for the
legislatare which was to choose the two Sena
tors, had Bet tLea been held; whether it was
because it was not certain what effect the Dong
las division jroigbt have upon it, or for some
other reason, the admission bill, to my surprise,
sU-pt in the room of the democratic committee
on territories, ai.d Congress adjourned.
We believe it is the public sentiment of Ore
gon that the adndseicB bill did not pass at the
first session of Congress because it was not cer
tain .that Gen. Lane would be fleeted to the
Senate. lion, Delazoc Smith, we are told, has
repeatedly dated, since his return, in speeches,
luat he '-admitted that the bill would not have
been passed, if Gen. Lane had not been elected
to the Senate." Then, it seems, according to
ihisl admission, that if Oregon did not elect such
Senators as pleased Gen. Lane's friends in
Coagruss, the State was to be denied admission.
If any body is simple enough to conclude that
Gen. Lane's friends would have opposed ad
mission in cae of his non-election to the Sen
ate, against Gen. Lane's w it-hes, they are wel
come to their opinion.

PBOnilB iD TUB PEBPOB.
Darin this session, probably for the first
time in Oregon, Gen. Lane arrived at a point
where he could not fulfill his promises w ith a
little blarney and evasion. All but two of the
delegates from Linn Co., in the State conven
tion, traded off their votes, on the promise that
Gen. Lane would cause his friends in the Leg
islature to re-elect Mr. Smith to tho U. S. Sen
ate. On Mr. Smith's return to Oregon, he took
position somewhere between regret at Mr.
Grover's defeat and approval of the Linn del
egates, though so near the latter as not to cut
himself off from tho votes they professed to
have secured at the expense of Mr. G rover.
He counted twenty -seven votes as certain for
himself in joint convention. But contrary to
expectation. Gen. Lane landed at the Umpqua,
and remained out south. At the opening of the
session, the twenty-seven votes dwindled down
to eleven. Mr. Smith and his friends became
indignant, and by threats frightened the Gene
ral's friends to terms. The vote was run up a
little, but Smith would take nothing less than
re-election. In this extremity, Gen. Lane was
expressed down here, and as a last resort one
majority in the caucus was secured, by de
eeiving one member, and promise of office
doubtless to several, for Mr. Smith.
It was evidently the General's desire to elect
no Senator now, and keep Mr. Smith at home
to canvass the State for the Senatorial election
of 1860. when he may need a little help. But
the obligation had fallen due, and a failure to
pay would prove fatal. Hithert, abject fawn
ing upon the General's person, has been the
only service ever paid for by that Taction. Af
ter the difficulty Mr. Smith and his friends have
had in enforcing the contract made at the State
convention, their zeal will probably w ax cool ;
and it is not clear bv what rule of right the
General can claim their support in the ' future
Indeed, after the nomination was extorted. Gen.
Lane, did not labor much, we fancy, to effect
the election. To snudrv persons, he declared
that he would express no preference as betw een
the candidates for U. S. Senator. And, to sev
eral members of the Assembly who called upon
Lim and asked if certaiu reports afloat con
cerning Mr. Smith at Washington, were true
or false, he tioeitivelv refused to denv or
affirm them to say anything about them.
If they were false he owed it to Mr. Smith, as
Lis friend, to have explicitly and positively de
nied them. If they were true, he owed it to
the Legislature, nud the State, to answer.
It is manifest to us that Gen. Lane nomina
ted Smith, and that he then defeated him. To
nominate him, was expected to be sufficient
proof rf support of Smith to secure Linn coun
ty to his (Lane's) interest. That being done,
he preferred his defeat, provided the act could
be charged to his (Lane's) enemies. To Gen.
Lane Smith is indebted for his nomination, and
to Gen. Lane he is indebted for las non-election.
- is m: v.vnKt r.i ED
Ilibben, Moslu-r, &e., have always advised
Gen. Lane hai the dissatisfaction with him in
Oregon could all be cured by shaking of hands
artful flattery and the general devices ff elec
tioneering demagogues, in the successful prac
tice of which, among a frontier people, he is
without an equal. We think Lis association
with the people herealwits has convinced him
of his mistake, and opened his eyes to the fact
that the dissatisfaction with him. as a public
servant, is deep-seated and incurable. The
tone and temper he has witnessed, cannot but
have awakened him to a realization of the fact
that the people are done with him, and that his
political career is fast drawing to a close. The
4th of March, lStil, finishes it. He may de
stroy, and has destroyed the democratic party
by his indefensible course, but he will find that
the democrats " still live " who w ill send him
to retirement as a reward for his inefficiency as
a public servant, and his abuse of power to the
destruction of the democratic party.
For years, the opinion has been fast strength
ening in Oregon that General Lane was of lit
tle use in Congress ; that his ridiculous chase
for the iTesidency exhausted his entire atten
tion, governed all his acts, and was the chief
purpose ot nis residence at astimgton. And
the opinion that he has done, and is doing little
for Oregon, is wide-spread and deep-seated.
BT Won't the Statesman let
ub know w hat he thinks of Fornevism in Pen-
sylvania ?
Isn't there a little of it in Oregon.
Standard.
For the benefit of the Standard, and of all
whom it may concern, we will venture a brief
opinion on what the Standard calls " Forney-
ism in Pennsylvania." It is the solemn protest
of men and democrats, against misrule, and
wrong, and tyranny, and injustice perpetrated
in the name of Democracy. It is their protest
against the forcing upon them of doctrines
which they condemn. It is their protest
against the proscription of democrats, in the
name oWhe party, for daring to entertain and
express sentiments and opinions of their own,
in regard to public men and public measures, in
opposition to the personal sentiments and opin
ions of the man or the men who chance to hold
official station and power by their suffrages.
It is more than this. It is the firm and deter
mined resistance of men and democrats to every
species of intolerance and injustice done to dem
ocrats in the name of democracy, by those
elevated to office by democratic suffrages.
That is the sentiment of thousands of demo
crats in Pennsylvania, and of thousands of
democrats in every State in the Union. And
there is enough of it in Oregon to place a
check upon the one man power which certain
individuals have attempted to bnild np here in
Oregon, and which would, if permitted, crush
out every spark of personal independence in
the democratic masses of the State.
Z3? It is said that "children, fools, and exci
ted men tell many truths." At Gen. Lane's
liquor party here, on Saturday evening, Gaz-
ley, "national" of Douglas, (Gen. Lane's coun
ty) when pretty well sprung, said to an anti-
Joseph man, "if yon will come over and stand
by the side of old Jo. all hell can't boat you in
this State. The South, with old Linn to back
her is a combination that can't be beat." It
remains to be seen whether or not " old Linn"
will consent to be used for that kind of "back
ing."
Besioxed. K. B. Metcalf, Indian agent
for Oregon, and in charge of the Siletz Agency,
has resigned, to take effect next September.
He is going to locate in Texas, and will take
with him the kindest wishes of his Oregon
friends.
17 There was an interesting debate in the
House on Friday afternoon last, on the reso-
lntion to invite members of the Senate to come
into tho House, and asaist in the election of a
U. S. Senator. - We shall try to find room for
some of the spec flies next week.

THK BABGAI.1 COI'tnnATKU.
At the time of the State convention here the
vote of Linn county was formally tendered to
Mr. G rover, on condition that the vote of Mari
on should be given to Mr. Smith. A son-in-law
of Gen. Lane then threatened Mr. Smith
, with the hostility of Lane's friends iu the legis
lature, if Liun county did not go with them nnd
defeat G rover. Liun county did go against
G rover, with Lane's friends, and defeated
him. Developments daily occurring, confirm
the opinion that Graver's defeat iu the Lane
caucus was the result not only of a bargain be
tween the interests of aspirants, bnt that votes
were procured against him by promises of re
ward. As the consideration of the defeat of
Grover for candidate for the House, the Lnne
influence was promised to Dclazon Smith for
re-election to the 17. S. Senate. It was prom
ised to the Linn delegation at the State conven
tion, nnd the promise was reiterated to Mr,
Smith, at Portland, ou his arrival iu Oregon
But we are well assured that Gen. Lane desired
not to see Mr. Smith re-elected, and he kept
away from the seat of government, until a spe
cial express went for him, nnd until he had rea
son to suppose the Senatorial election was over.
In the meantime, his especial friends in the leg
islature were not supporting Mr. Smith, and
public rumor asserted that they were acting iu
accordance with his known wishes. When
Gen. Lane did arrive, or a few days after, it is
said that he, or his friends, or both, were threat
ened with the opposition of Liun eoutity nest
year, when his turn for a re-election came, if
his friends did not support Smith tuts year.
And, with one exception, (Mr. X orris, of Dong
las,) Gen. Lane's supporters, in the legislature,
(including his son-in-law, instructed for Will
iams as against Smith,) went for Smith and
nominated him. r. It is as certain as the sun
shines that if Gen. Laue had not come here,
Mr. Smith could not have been nominated; and
we are well assured that Lane w ent for him
reluctantly, and only to secure Linn county to
his interests.
Aud. we believe promises of office to have
bL'eit made to secure this nomination ; the fu
ture will disclose whether or not any members
of that caucus, or the friends of anv members
thereof, receive appointments to office. Certain
it is, that offices w ere promised, by men w ho
pretended to speak for Hen. Lane.
Thin, the foul bargain, bv which Mr. Grover
was deflated ou th? 20th of March, and the in
ti rests of Ore son most wantonly sacrificed, has
been consummated, so far as lay iu the power
of the Lane society. From such proceedings
we appeal to the people, and shall await
the verdict thev will render iu the coming
months and years.
A Fatsce. Sonicliody has sent us a column
of proceedings, of what purports to be a " Ben
ton County (democratic) Convention," held by
thirteen men, representing four precincts.
Among the names of delegates we recognize a
very few excellent democrats: we also tiud the
name of Richard Jrtrin. a knournothing for
eigner, w ho never voted n democratic ticket in
his life, and never w ill, if he know s it. Oregon
does not hold a bitterer opponent of the demo
cratic party, in a small way, than IJiehard Ir
win, of Long Tom precinct, Benton county.
We think he would now consider it a mild form
of disprraee to be called a democrat. Another
name is that of James 1. Fay, the same char
acter of an opponent, in a smaller way ; Judge
Skinner introduced him into politics of the nln
lition stripe, and Col. Ford, last year, convert
ed him from Skinner's faith to " nationalism."
This year he is chairmau of a committee on
resolutions in a "democratic" convention;
there were two others ou the committee, oue of
whom we know, and know to be a " national,"
aud the third we do not know. This committee,
a majority, at least, of whom last year voted
the opposition ticket, modestly, reported the
following resolution, which the thirteen conven
tion adopted, Irwin, doubtless, giving a loud
aye:
Resolved, That as democrats it is ever our
duty to extend a cordial and earnest supMirt to
the regular nominations of tiie party, and that
the disappointment of personal wishes nnd
preferences should not be allow ed to w eaken
our support to nominations regularly made.
Did you think that way last year ? And
would you have thought that way this, if the
action of the so-called " State convention,"
with the vindictive proscription of Gen. Laue
and the Lane society, did not threaten to de
stroy the democratic party ? It requires black
republican and "national" "check" to talk
about "earnest support of regular nominations"
of the democratic party, without having ever
voted any but an opposition ticket. To call
such a speckled congregation a " democratic
convention," is a misnomer. The proceedings
were simply a farce; and to complete their fuT
cical character, it is only necessary to add to
the above, the fact that one of the most stead
fast of the few democrats known to us iu this
convention, which, according to little Fay's re
port, adopted the above resolution " unani
mously," w ill not support the candidate brought
out at Salem on the "0th of April.
- THE 8C TUP C O.WESTIOV.
In our advertising columus will be found a
call for a scrip convention at Eugene City. We
most heartily commend the movement to the
attention of scrip holders. If it is expected
that our war debt is ever to be paid, it is time
that the holders of it bestir themselves. The
defeat of Mr. Grover, the only one of the Ore
gon delegation who knows anything alwitt the
subject, and who can aid its payment, renders
this convention doubly important. We com
mend it to holders of war claims, and bespeak
for them a becoming interest in the movement.
Laxe's Vixiuctivexess. One of the most
truthful citizens of L'mpqua county volunteers
the follow ing statement :
" I hereby certify that in a conversation with
General Lane at !cottsburg, immediately upon
his arrival from Washington, speaking of polit
ical matters, he stated to me that the defeat of
Mr. Grover was necessary to his vindication;
that Grover's nomination won hi have licen a
condemnation of him. Speaking "of the re
moval of Xesmith and Zicber, and his other
personal opponents in Oregon, he expressed
himself thus: 'Thank God, I have taken off
the head of the last one of them. " t.
Then, if Grover's sacrifice was necessary to
Lane's vindication, of course, Grover should
have been sacrificed w ithout a why or a where
fore. Oregon belongs to Lane, and if there is
anybody in it in the way of his ambition, he
should he cut dow n w ithout a question.
Notaries Public. We understand the
Governor has decided to make no appointments
of notaries public, until the receptiou and ap
proval of bond. Attention to this by applicants,
will save much correspondence and delay.

XO.MO.nJIITTED.
The only pretext urged at tho State conven
tion against Mr. Grover, was that he had said
nothing, either for or against Gen. Lane. His
friends contended that he had no right to spend
his time at Washington, in following np the
tracks of another, and ferreting out matters
pertaining to former sessions. Public records
furnish the best means of tn ing the public cou
duct of members of Congress. These are
within the reach of nil, nnd Mr. Grover had
little, i,f any, better opportunity thnn any other
citizen of Oregon, to make an authenticated
statement about Gen. Lane.
But w hatcver may have been the respective
initios of the delegation, toward each other, and
their constituents, Gen Lane himself has in a
similar case failed to come up to the terms
which his friends prescribed for Mr. Grover.
At this session Mr. Smith, to use his own ex
pression, "found the air black" w ith charges
affamst himself which the General couiu nave
refuted or confirmed by a single word. Although
repeatedly questioned by members of the Leg
islature, whose duty it was to learn the truth,
he declined to entangle himself. Mr. Smith did
not decline to entangle himself iu the General's
behalf last W inter, and since his return to Ore
gon, aud has a right to demand a like favor now
If he is obtaining it at all, it is iu a mauiier so
covert as to do him no good ; and the General
runs no risk of committing himself or contra
dicting any one.
Yet he is the partv so deeply injured by Mr
Grover's alleged non-committalism last w inter,
that that gentleman must be defeated in con
vention. Now, what is right for the one is
rijrht for thcuither. And so long as Gen
Lane's friends claim that he is exempt from the
rule of reciprocal aid, so long will democrats
have reason to denounce him and his creatures.
The democratic party recognizes no such thing
as honorarr membership, and whenever such
distinction is claimed for any oue, the party is
tending toward dissolution.
THK SEMATOKI1I. KLEI'TIOX.
The legislature adjourned w ithout choosing a
Senator; after the adjournment of the so-called
" democratic caucus," statements of an extra
ordinary character, respecting the candidate
presented by it. were made, which, m our opin
ion, and we doubt uot iu the opinion of the pub
lie mind, justified the extraordinary recourse
had to prevent an election. We have no de
sire to add to the publicity of those statements,
or give the foundation upon which they rest ;
and shall not do it, unless assaults upon the
men who assumed the responsibility, aud upon
those who sustain them, shall require such pub
lication. In such event, those meu have a
right to demand that the public should be fur
nished w ith the evidence, and the public have
a right to claim it.
The supporters of Mr. Smith, during the first
two weeks of the session, streuuously resisted
all attempts to provide for a joint convention,
and that gentleman declared that if he was not
chosen, uobidr should be, if he could prevent
it. After the nomination was effected, imme
diately followed by the reports above referred
to. the eppomut of Mr. S., with two or three
exceptions, opposed the holding of a joint con
vention, and none was held.

Mr. Smith, it will be seen, failed to receive a
majority of the men elected upon the demo
cratic ticket, and got the oue majority from men
elected upou opposition tickets men who re
u'ly had no more busiuesa in a democratic cau
cus, than Dryer had. Lamson and Shuck, of
Yamhill, were instructed by a hurriedly ob
tained petition, containing the names of fifty
or sixty Yamhill democrats, (and it failed to
contain hundreds such, onlv because there was
uot time to get them,) to vote against Smith,
or resign before voting. They voted for Smith,
one of them stating that he did uot believe there
were mote than four or five voters in Yamhill
county who would support Smith, if the ques
tion was submitted to them ; and declaring that
he would vote for Smith if every man iu the
county signed a remoustrance against it. Shel

clared himself to be in favor of Grover, before
coming here, we are told that he would have
been strongly instructed ; or if he had declared
for Smith, he would have found an almost, if
not quite unanimous remonstrance against him
from his county. But, judging of his treatment
of the petition, and what he could not but have
known to be the will of his county, such in
struction or remonstrance would have availed j
nothing against the will of Gen. Lane.
The Legislature. The special session of
the legislature of Oregon was brought to a close
on Saturday, by an adjournment sine die. The
session lasted twenty days, the constitutional
limit of called sessions.' All the necessary leg
islation, wc believef wa accomplished. We

as we can make room for them.
Abolished. The legislature abolished the
office of Inspector of the Penitentiary; this

office to run for.

Mr. Bush Sir: The Inst number of the
Statesman contains some editorial criticisms
noon a passaire taken Irom the jac-Ksomiue
Aennnei, in wnicu, i nuu me iihwui(j. -w
ill sav that tho letter to Mr. Harding was
shown to the delegate from Linn, who proposed
to buy the vote of the Legislative delegation
from Morion, w ith the vote of the convention
delegation from Linn."
I presume that 1 am the delegate to whom
you refer, from the fact that you have said be
fore, of me, that, "we do positively know that
lie made a formal tender of the Linn vote for
Grover, upon condition that Marion should en
ter into u bargain to support Smith." That
assertion was incorrect. 1 made no "formal ten
der of the Linn vote for Grover." The Linn
vote was not at my disposal; nud if it had been,
1 w as not disposed to do any such thing, I was
responsible, alone, for myself and the prox-1
had.
My associate delegates, I kuew to be capa
ble of performing their duties in thut conven
tion. I think I did say in the conversation to which
you refer, that 5lariou county nnd Linn had
hitherto acted together in conventions, that we
had hoped that harmony might be continued ;
aud that I believed Grover had written that
Smith ought to be elected to the Senate; nud
his count- would be w ith us. But, that we had
sometime since been informed that Smith was
not to get a vote iu the Legislature from Ma
rion ; aud perhaps uot from Polk, and hence,
our course was oue of necessity, dictated by
policy, and injustice to ourselves.
Mr. Harding did show me a letter which he
said he had received from Mr. Grover, a por
tion of which he read, but from the part read,
I could not understand it as being to any essen
tial extent, an endorsement of Lane's course.
He offered ine.tlie letter (with others, I think
at the sumc. time) to Trad, but as I was inform
ed that it contained nothing that wotdd "set
Grover right," and that 1 kuew as much about
h:8 position us his friends about Salem did, I
thought it w ould be useless aud improper for
mr to read others' private letters iu the iuvesti
gatiou of the same, and therefore declined to
do so.
I do not pretend to say what was in those
letters, neither do I care w hether they contain
ed sufficient to "set Grover right"' or not. I
thought then, and think Vet, that he was in the
hands of his friends, aud that they would do
what they thought best for him, and I would
never deuv them that right.
It is said that I "proposed to buy the vote of
Marion &c." Now, that is incorrect iu every
particular, as gentlemen know, who were pres
ent on the occasion referred to. I never con
ceived for a moment that the vote of Marion
could be bought ! Xor had I ever applied for
a bill of sale tit' the Linn vote, not having heard
that it would rrrbe for sale, and particularly
upou that occasion, and for that pmpose.
It is a little singular to me Mr. Editor, that
you make those assertions, and other and sun
dw charges so positively, w hen I am rather cer
tain that you were uot present at the time of
the talk referred to.
I am held responsible, very properlr, for the
true intent and meaning of the words I may
utter, auy where, or upou any subject, but cer
tainly not so, for the misguided interpretation
of any gentleman.
1 make these explanations in justice to the
other delegates to the State convention from
this count-. 1 am not convinced of havin
done anything dishonorable pertaining to that
convention; if I did, I alone am responsible.
Please give this place in the statesman, and
with it. of course you have the "liberty of the
press." " Yours trulv.
W. G. HALEY.
It is true we "were not present at the time of
the talk referred to:" we were not present at
the death of Washingtor, but we should not
hesitate to "assert" that that distinguished gen
tleman did decease. Our information was fur
nished by Mr. Harding, to whom Mr. Haley,
as he (Harding) informed us, tendered the vote
of Linn for Grover if Marion would support
Smith. Since the receipt of the above note
Mr.v Harding, after reading it, reiterates that
Mr. Haley did promise, in substance and ef
fect, that the vote of the Linn delegation should
be given for Grover, if the vote of Marion was
pledged to Smith. He says other persons were
pttS-'nt, and one of them, Mr. Shannon, we
have talked w ith, and he confirms Mr. Hard
ing's understanding of Mr. Haley's and Mr.
Harding's "talk." At the conclusion, Mr.
Harding says Mr. Haley in substance said, "if
we can get no support for Smith from Marion,
we must go w here w e can."

Mr. Editor : I see that the little Portland
dailv announces the arrival in that city of Mr.
Shelby, aud says that gentleman informed it
that there would be no election of U. S, Sena
tor. As Mr. S. left Salem early in the week,
it would seem that he did not expect Smith to
be elected when he left; and if he did not. Gen
Lane did not. Mr. Shelby was instructed for
Judge Williams, but he voted for Smith, and
his vote nominated him. When asked bv
Williams, Iwfore going into caucus, to vote for
h m, he said, no, I am going for Smith. The
Grover men intend to go for Curry and nomi
nate nun. and I must go for Smith, to beat
Curry. On Me same ballot, the two Clacka
mas nnmibers also went for Smith, although in
strutted for Curry. Did they, likewise, wish
to prevent "Grover's friends 'from nominatin"

The Washiuj-ton States exulting; proclaims
the passage of a law to protect slave property
in New Mexico, a triumphant vindication of the
principle oi non-intervention as against a Con
gressional slave code, in favor of the South. It
savs:
And not only does slavery thus secure a firm
foothold in the Territory of New Mexico
almost an empire in itself but the position
affords the South every facility of expansion m
the very direction most inviting to its institu
tions. Not only are Arizona aud Nevada des
tined to fall under the sway of the South, but
the contiguous States of Mexico will be subdu
ed to the use of slavery, when in the fullness of
time they shall be released from the impotent
grasp of Central Government. The possession
of New Mexico is indeed a splendid conquest
for the pro-slavery party. They lost Kansas
by the operation of the policy they have secur
ed ample indemnity in a quarter w here, iustead
ofbcijgu sickly exotic, slavery will take root
in a congenial soil, and nourish of its own in
herent vigor.
Suppose the principle of non-intervention
had not prevuiled in the organization of New
Mexico: suppose the representatives of the
South had accepted the doctrine of Congression
al supremacy over the Territories, what w ould
have been the consequence ? The power once
eouccJed, an Abolition majority would have se
cured its application iu the shape of a Wilmot
i'iw iso, ami so slavery would have been for
ever excluded from a region in which it exhib
its a singular vitality, and promises to achieve
the grandest results. Has the South reason to
deplore its adoption of the non-intervention
policy ?
In advancing- with its anrument the Stat as
sumes that the Republican party, as it claims
the omnipotent jurisdiction of Congress over the
Territories, w ill force the South either to justify
or abandon the policy of Congressional non-intervention.
It adds : '
In the event that Seward shall
bill for the repeal of the slav ; v
Mexico, the representatives of th SUintH will
hav
re no alternative but to admit the suprema
of Congress over the TerriroriM w
ey :
make a stand upon the principle of non-inter-
,eiiiioii.
If they adopt the first proposition
give the Black Republican party au issue which
will insure its success in IStiO, tor then the i8
sue wUl be purely and simply slavery extenion
or ascendancy in the Federal administration and
'""iTOumwe policy ot the Wd
mot proviso. If, on the contrary, the repre"
sentatives of the South determine to adhere the
pnuciple of non-intervention, they w ill present
an ,,uc upon which they will be sustained by
the American people, and will k 1.1 . ,
consolidate their conouest n w? lo

Th masses, therefore, will decide that no soch
distinction exists, and that if Congress can act
constitutionally in one case it can in the other
if it can protect it can prohibit. This con
ceded, aud the question of protection or prohi
bition would necessarily be left to the doctrine
of Squatter Sovereignty and non-interveiit:on,
and leave the question solely to the decision of
the people of the Territories. It is the tnly
Kdicy which will remove the slavery quertii n
ora" Congress and from the political contests
for the Presidency the only plan by which the
slavery question can be " localized" the only
certaiu means which will prove effectual in
sinking the slavery issue.
1 he New Orleans Courier, the old and in
fluential organ of the Louisiana Democracy,
presents the case in a strong light in an edito
rial, from w hich we extract the following sen
tences :
Shall we" in the South, then, in behalf of
those who emieratc hence to the Territories
with their slaves, appeal to Congress for a slave
code, Congress which contains a large propor
tion, and w hich is likely soon to contain a ma
jority of members hostile to us and to cur insti
tutions 7 Is there not reason to ap
prehend that by soliciting Congressional action
a precedent may be established which section
al majority w ill pervert to our positive damage
at some luture tune? Is the howhnsr of fac
tious demagogues in ConcTess on slavery s
grateful to our ears that we must re-open its
hideous clamor ? In our opinion it is lettr to
let the jK'rturbed spirit of fanaticism look to its
fertile invention for nourishment ln-tter to con
vince abolitionists that all we require cf Con
gress is that they shall let slavery alone that
we trust to the Constitution and the common
law for its protection outside of organized States
that we deny their power to interfere between
the slave and his owdit anywhere that we will
