Indeed, it seen for the time, to fere overs helmet! and swallowd oil all qaeatimtt of minor mafrnitade and import inn. Protcctire tahds and internal improrraimta are almost tognttrr., the Padno railroad is beard of tat acldon ; manifeat destinr patte in it progrea toward the tropica; Sonera r aiainiinpreuaed ; and the O era of the Antil les, trrea were (a to-day to sirnifr her rradl- cm to bveooM pait and parrel of thia nation of Mrerrigm, mnrt Mill continue to deck the oor- jm1 of Spain, until thia momenton question i atitfaetoriljr ditpoatd of. At thia qoeation wtU be the principal, and perhapa the onlr issue ia the Prendentia campain of 1800, it will prob- My bo detrrmiaod Vfinitety by the remit of that eanpasfn. For the solotioa af this qtrestioo, three differ et Aeoriea are prop id. by the leader of at mmtf iJmt wrasr of the democratie partr. Tban i the theory known aa the "Brawn and Davit doctrine, " which declare that CongreM ka the rtfbk and most interfere for the protrr tM of akrerT ia the Territories. The "Ad aainialialioa doctrine," which denie the right af Cnaajr ta to interferes bat r rti that slavery ia fotoutod to the Tenitotle by the cocMtim- Woaaa4the8TtteCoBTt. Lastly, there b) the )aotriM of Ma-interreBrwa, which dedarr that the people of the Tcrrhorie ahaJI decide $m tbiiaiilfa, whether they want this instira ton r Mt. Thi laat i the doctrine held or iW the aVoiocratie party, and by the I of the people, eremrbere. It is dcrir- i teem the ftudamental principle of democra cy, and from a trict cooat ruction of the eoa atitalioa. It i the only doctrine which eewal Jwatiee to the people of all arctireaa. and it itk only theory which eaa be aceeetfully re daeed to practice. W hare already diet id thi enotfcm with leKuiautie to it eonstitntionnlity. and h politi eei bearing. We now jropee leaving all oth er eonaidctatioiM fcr the present aside, to view bit doctrine of intervention, or faterfrrcut witfc the Hot r Hie eeaetiu of the Territories, in a practical light. We are convinced that the proposition to force the institution of slaverv into a Territory, either by Congressional b-gi- sr by the authority of the United State ia opposition to the wishes ond senti- i of the people of sovh Territorr, is ntterlv faapraetieable, and has failed and will foil wht n erer it is attempted to carry it out. Those who insist npi the federal protection of slavery ia the Territories, seem to imagine that aB that it necessary, to secure tkst protec tion it the enactment of law, or, as some hold, the assertion of the supposed authority of the coastitatwm, by the trihanab; and that the ejttseaa of the Territories, no starter what may be their vSfces, their sentiments or their preju dices, will permit the estaMnhmr-nt among them of the rcstrtatron. Upon this subject the Wash ington Constitution, the Administration organ, which is supposed to deliver its opinion ex ca thedra, savs : The eonstirntion. according to the decision of tne Hottest tn banal known to this Government, wrcwret to every citizen le right of taking and holding his si'trt it any of the territories of the United States. Tots is tne oonii. and hv it we believe the people- of the northern States are wilMng ebnip.

What is the inevitable ded action which flows mm uus piain suuemem oi ran ; 1 he curse of almrent, if it be a curse the bUing ofelare rjr. if it be m good or Netting must be miite tndmred or enjoyed by the people of a territory, during the eximtenetofthe temtorutt corporation or organization. The Constitution, it will be sees, believe that, the principle being authoritatively declar ed, that' slavery exists ia the Territories by vir tue of a constitutional provision amount to a practical introd action and establishment of the mstitation, whatever may be the choice of the people of any Territory. Thi position is atter )y at variance witb all the teachings of experi ewce, and with all we know of the working of hsssaa nature. It i jast a impossible for the anti-slavery men of the aortb, having ia their favor the strength both of number and of pub Be opinion, to restrain their fanaticism, and ac quiesce in the propogatioa of slavery, a it it for aoathurniri to refraia front maitaeating a negro- Btealer, when they catch one in their midst. If the supposed constitutional provision is relied wpon to protect ilavery, bow shall the courts en force that provision, ia the face of a public sen timent which denies its existence ? If a posi tive Congressional enactment ia relied upon, bow shall that taw be enforced, in the face of a public tentiment, backed by numerical strength, which deaies the justice and the constitutional ity of sack a law. nay, wnich gee farther, and nil the fanatical doctrine of a higher law? It i utterly iarpracticable. It cannot be done. Whenever the institution of slavery is condemn ed by the local public sentiment whenever it seeks protection other than is afforded to it by the local legislature where it exists, that instant it is virtually abobshed. No laws, of whatever naure, can be sustained without the aid of pub lic opinion; and no laws so much require tiiat aid, as law establishing or protecting slavery. Whenever, therefore, the attempt is made to establish or protect slavery ia a Territory, anises the entiiaant of a majority of jp citizen ia in laror of it, the attempt must result in a disa trooa failure, and will very likely be attended by all the scenes of anarchy, violence, and blood shed, which accompanied such an attempt in the Territory of Kansas, within a few years. Statutes alone will not protect slavery. Even in those sonthera States where it is most firmly established, the fostering care and protection of public opinion is it chief safopiard ; and even ' there, the moment a preponderance of public sentiment obtain against the institution, tlmt moment it most foil, ia spite of all enactments for its protection. It is then the bight of folly and absurdity, to persist in the attempt under pretext of main taining a constitutional rilit, to thrust slavery upon a community to vhi-h it dues not com mend itself by its owa merits. And it is ab surd and foolish to insist upon federal aid and protection, and can be productive of no prac tical benefit to the South ; because, even if it were possible (which, however, it is not) to pro tect slavery in a Territory where the popular sentiment is unfavorable to it, the moment that Territory becomes a State it will abolish it, to the detriment of all who have aviled themselves of the federal protection. Slavery cannot be substantially and permanently extended, by Congressional legislation or by constitutional protection, over one foot of territory into which it would net J be freely admitted by to local popular Sentiment. And those who are now agitating thi question mast be well aware of thia, notwithstanding the variou theories thry may adreeat to the contrary. And, the Bouth wouM not be wise if it advo cated thi doctrine, of Congressional interven Uoo. For, U is a rule that work both wars; if Congress ran intervene to etahlih and pro tect da very it can intervene to prohibit and de feat it. And, aa the power of the nation i passing into the band of the free State the Congressional apportionment of 161 will gir tbe free State about two-third of the mem ber of the lower House of Congress tbe tiara State have everything to lose, and noth ing to gain by thia doctrine of Congressional intervention upon the subject of slavery m the Territories. Their interest, the right of the people of the Territories, and the peace and quiet of the country point to the enforcement of the principle of non-intervention. Until the meeting of the Charleston conven tion, there will be no end of plant for the ad' jnstment of the question of sin very in the Tcr ritories ; but if that convention settle upon any other policy than that of the non-intervention of the federal authorities, let it president have power to appoint an extraordinary com mittee, whose duty it shall be to write the ttory of the defeat of the democratie party. Get Torn Pat! Hcaar L! Those who are dangling at Joseph's skirts, and have not yet got their pay, had better make him hurry up with the fulfillment of hi promise. Fee tbe day of Joseph' power in Oregon Is at aa end ; and his tern b faat drawing to a close, and with that ends his dispensation of (at things from W ashingtoa. Indeed, his downfall here, at once destroys his prestige at Washington ; for he ha kept Up bat humbug M popularity by hi representation that be had a State at hi back, that he otrned Oregon, had it in his breeches pocket, and couM give it to, or with hold it from anybody he chose ; they are cour tiers at Washington, and they never u-orhip setting tun!!! A fire as is better than a dead Bon. with them .' Ijtne know thia ! and he know his sua ha set, at Washington, at well as in Oregon ! Beaten at home, he is nobody at Washington. And, he has been long enough about Washington to understand this ! and he does understand it. He ha got to explain the defeat of the democracT of Oreeon. if de flated, or tbe heavy reduction of major- it' if not defeated ; and be can't explaiu it by reiterating his former ttorie that Oregon belonged to him. and be could do with it as he chose! If he tells the truth, he will ay that be has ridden . the democracy of Ore g to death ; he has roosht to prostitute it to the service of bi inordinate ambition ; aud. in pursuit of this end, he has detracted and destroyed the democratic party of Oregon. Tell tbe President this and tell him that heba been unknowingly used by you to abuse Ike appoint ing power to the furtherance of voor scinch end. and the prostration of the democracy ! Again we sav to the satellites, cvt nay for your servility at once, for tbe hour is fast draw ing near when Lane will have no offices to be stow. l"siVEBAl The returns how that the dis satisfaction in the democratic ranks extended all over the State, tbongh its effects are more viible in some localities than others. Hut, w e think there is not a county in the State where d-mecrats have not even refused to go to the polls, while ia many those who were as sound as the soundest, voted for Logan. In Multno mah county, where a majority of loO or 200 for M r. Stout w as counted on, Logan gets con-idi-r- ably over a hundred. Last April the city of Portland gave the democratic ticket from 1W to 200 majority. Laet Monday it gave Loe 106. and elected the opposition focal ticket. That evince great defection there. Marion show the heaviest falling off, but Linn a very heavy (and perhaps, considering the circum stances as heavy) one. In Polk, less tban one- half tbe democratie vote was east, some two hundred democrats refusing to go to the polls. a hie not a few voted for Logan. In Yamhill. 75 or 100 of her best democrat did not go to the polls. In Clackamas, Btnton, Lane, and Washington, such were found. Likewise in Clatsop, Tillamook. Cmpqua, Coos. Curry. Jo sephine, Jackson, Douglas, and Wasco. The defection was a wide as the limit of the State. Stabbing. A Pleasant UiU. (Lane Co.,) correspondent say just before the crowd left tbe place of voting in Coast Fork precinct, in that county (Hamilton' wre,) George Small, a man about sixty years of age, stabbed Marion Martin, who is about forty or forty-five, in tbe breast with a bowie-knife. The wound it is thought will prove fatal, but Martin wa alive, when but beard from. Martin and a son of Mr. Small had an altercation about some cattle, when, unknown to Martin, Small stabbed him. Sniall got on hi horse immediately and escaped to the mountain. At but date parties were hunting Small, but had not captured him. Tbe crowd were too much excited at tbe time of SmalTs escape to prevent it. Soon after about twenty men made chase for him, when Small, (and his sons, who were with him,) left their horsea and took to tbe brush. C7 Mr. Lesdernier, who in 1857 gave Shakspearian Keadings in Oregon, recently lost her only children, twin eon, Richard and Lewis, aged about twenty-one years. She was in California, when she was informed that one of her sons was lying ill in Boston. She immediately went to him, and on ber arrival found them both very low with consumption. She took them South, but they continued rap idly to fail, and the returned to Boston. Soon after. Richard died, and Iewis, overhearing something that lead him to suppose they were waiting for hint before burying bis brother, he exclaimed to his mother, I am sorry, mother. to keep yon waiting; I shall be icady to morrow : and bis prophetic words proved true. Their remains were conveyed to Kox burv f.ir iutenncnt. They were placed in two cofi.ut of the same size, in the same hearse, and were deposited in one grave. A Nice Expfrimf.nt.

In Wisconsin, the votes of eighteen counties, cast at the late election, were thrown out, on account of informality. The result wa not affected. Rabet Beatex. Rarey is in Russia, tam ing horse.

Kamiakin is a Palouse word, and signifies "Big Head." Wuktht or Nora. So far a heard from. not a county, except Linn, whota delegate voted for Mr. Stoat ia convention, bat given him a majority at the poll. And hi Linn, the princely majority of 500 or 600. is oat dowa to 138 a defeat not less severe, tban if the county had given a nominal majority the other way. Delegates representing opposition counties, come here to nominate a candidate for Congress lor democratic counties to tied, and defied the will, not only of the democracy of the country, but that of the counties which were to elect the acandiJnte, if he wa elected. Thry not only purned the counsel of the delegate from such counties, but they taunted them with being foiled by trickery and management. The delegate from those countiesdeclared.with prophetic voice to the Mcohrr, T'Vaults, Chapman, and the rest of tke-4.aoe society, that the democratic masse would rise in their majesty and rebuke rich fraud upon their right, such ditrrgard of thuir will, and inch trifling with their interests. They turned a deaf ear, to feel it now ringing with the indignant voice of an outraged democ racy. Thi ELKcnoar. The return of the election on Monday are yet incomplete, and not enough are received to decide the result. Nothing ha been received from sooth of tbe Calapooia mountains. On thia tide the return ate toler ably complete; a we reckon it, Logan will go to the Calipooia, from the north, with about 700 more vote than Mr. Stoat. If Stout gets Graver's majority smith of the mountains, he will be ehosen by between 200 and 300 majority. It wai (aid by the delegate to the State con vention from that section, that Mr. Graver wa not aatisfactnry there ; and it has ataee been aid that Mr. Stout's nomination wa eminently satisfactory j if inch wa the case, be can hard ly have foiled to receive G rover' rote. Of tbe result and the rantes which have produced it. we thai! speak hereafter. P. 8. Returns from some of the southern counties, received after the aliove wa ia type. will be found in the appropriate column. SarrBurAii Sympathy roa Foreigners. The Massachusetts Republicans have adopt ed an amendment to tbe State constitution re quiring foreigner to reside in the State two year after naturalization before voting. Ke groes were allowed to vote on this amendment. The Democrats what few there are there opposed it, and a small portion of tbe Repub lican did to. The rote wa light, and tbe amendment carried by seven or eight thousand. While the constitution require a two years' residence for natnraExed foreigners, 'i? others, including negroes, are permitted to vote upon one rear't residence. This is a concession to Know-XotIiinp?ra by the Mu.isachnsetts Re publicans w hich their brethren in the North- West, where the foreijrn element has been gradually falling into their ranks, stnmgly op pose. f The general court martial, which con vened nt Fort Vancouver, Wai-bington Territo ry, for the trial of Lieut.

Page aud Sbattuck de fended the prisoner. The defense was able, though unsuccessful. Ci" At Portland, there was a good deal of ' fighting and rioting on the day of election. An attempt was made to affix caricatures of one of the candidate to the walls of a brick building, V hich, being resisted, led to a general fight, in w hich, of course, the weaker party wa worst ed. At this place, on election day, everything wa quiet and orderly. C7 The office of superintendent of Indian af fair i to be removed to Portland, a soon as instructions to that effect can be obtained. The Surveyor General's office is bkewise to be re moved somew here, when the necessary instruc tion are received. There are 1000 voter in Marion county that Joseph will not be able to remove.

It is just as sensi ble to grow peas without bushing them as it is tomatoes. Y on may grow both in a slovenly tort of way, if you have plenty of room on the ground ; but you can grow either twice as well upon something to support them, and tomatoes are decidedtv better irrown up in the air than near the around, under the shade of a mass of vine. 1 he best support for a tomato vine is a short bush set firmly in lhe ground.

LETTER rBO.1t H.VJI COfStTT. Linn Coi xtv, June 29th. 1959. Mr. Brsn: The full returns from this coun tv rive Stout 130. The defeat considering all thiuirs is irreater in this countv than iu Marion. lane ami liuuu had six appointments m tins countv. and binitu had belore made several specclies, and with all this, the majority of 550 given lor t rover last year, is cut down to 130, a practical defeat iu the couutr. ( rover could have pot i00 majority here tins year. Not one of the delegates from this countv to the State Convention, who voted ngainst Graver's nomi nation and lor tnut a, will deny this. l lie result ni tins election hi Linn countv is a virtunl renunciation of Smith and Lane. It is decisive of the fact that au avoived Smith and Lane legislative ticket cannot be chosen here next year. That is settled ; and every intelligent friend of thai alliance must be aware of it. If Mr. Smith carries out his project of starting a paper here, it will not only miover ish him, but if he wars with the anti-Smith and Lane democrats of the county, as he will, he will render it only the more impossible to elect a democratic representative ticket favorable to the election of cither himself or Lane. Smith has no faculty for healing, but great talent for widening breaches. The democracy of this county will place the rcsponsibilitv of the present defeat w here it be longs. If the will of the democratic masses had been respected, and U rover nominated, he would to-day have been elected by not one vote less than 2500. Let it be a warning to trick sters and trading politicians. And alxivc all, let it be a warning to ambitious demagogues, who seek to nse the democratic party, and base ly use it for their individual aggrandizement. A Democrat, who Reli'ctantlt Voted for Stout. tJT "Why don't you hold up your bead, as I do?" asked an aristocratic lawyer of a sterl ing old farmer. "Squire," said the fanner, "look at this field of grain. You see that all the valuable heads are bowed down, while those who have nothing in them stand upright." a IiBtteb taion MtuiMara Mr. Editor Tbe scramble between Stout and Lognn for a teat in the next Congress hav ing terminated in favor of tbe bitter, we may now with propriety Investigate the causes which contributed to such a result. It ia undeuinhle. that the democratic party of Oregon was not a party in any shape to the late contest; its defeat and overthrow waa previous ly consummated by the band of conspirator who assembled over the Nonpareil saloon, nt Salem, on the l!Hh, and morning of the 2flth April Inst. Tbe murder lies at the doors of the. T'Vaults, Mosbers, and Chapman, and their accessory dupes, who, after slaughtering trover, went cuueaung nonie, aecinnng mat they "would have many a dog' skin on the r ., j l .1 j . C . - L i lencr, Kira murui ma aeiiimon ui meir noi low hearts that Gen. Lane had been vindicated The worthv trio w ho concocted and took the lead in this scheme of villainy, exected to co erce di mocruU to assist theiu iu its consumma tion at tiie pulls, wl.ile nut one of the three has a comrixtcnt democratic record during their res idence iu Oregon, to tay nothing of the ante cedent characters oi some ol Ilieiu in the Mates. While those worthies were whetting the knife to perpetrate the foul deed of G rovers assasin- atiou, and meditating the destruction of the democratic party, they were admonished of the enccts, and implored to stay the ruthless nana, but they were alike deaf to reason, and callous to honesty and justice; they replied witb taunts, and boa-ited of " Oregon's two thousand demo cratic majority," capable, and willing, as they argued, of becoming a party to their traitorous designs. Tbe result bat proved that no little band of tricksters can, with impunity, disregard and set at defiance the expressed will of tbe people, and it will be a long time before a rep etition of the thing will be attempted in Oregon. The vaunted claim that the power and con trol of the democratic party of Oregon waa rest ed in the Lantitet, baa proved but a barren scepter in the hands of that empty-beaded tribe of sychopanta. Tbe brief hoar they have wield ed the power, to say nothicg of the means re sorted to for acquiring it, has been sufficient to cover them witb t haute and -infamy. The strange Gods they have act op for democratic worship will be overthrown and demolished, and true democracy reinstated in their place. In their hot haste to " vindicate" and to do homage to their chief, the entire interest in the war debt ha been sacrificed, every principle dear to democrat abandoned, causing tbe late contest to assume the form of a mere squabble between Lanetsed knownothingism, and diluted republicanism, leaving the democracy of Ore gun in a position of the utmost indifference as to the result. Democrat everyw here, in voting for either of the candidates, did so under pro test. Lane aud Smith bad harangued the peo ple in nearly every county, declaring that Stout' election would be their vindication, re ducing the issue to a mere personal contest in w hich no enthusiasm could be inspired, and no principle wa manifest. Democrats who here tofore had battled upou principle, and against knownothingism, would not enter the lists in support of an old and hated eueuiy, especially where success was claimed in advance as an indorsement of a man who bad nutorioutlv been derelict in his duty abpaid, while be had brok en tk wa and destroyed the democrati.: party at home. Logan's antecedents, the platform npon w hich he nominally stood, and his speeches upon the stump, were as inconsistent with genuine black republicanism as stout Caulornia reer had been in opposition to democracy. The prestige of a sham nomination perhaps gave the latter the most democratic votes, while it is a conceded fact that he outrun very greatly the real 1-ane strengtn. Gen. Lane can plead hi absence from the State at the time Sir. Grover was defeated Ye his subsequent endorsement of that out rage in declaring " it uras necessary for his vin diration," make him equallr guilty with the willing tools who did bis dirty work. His ap proval of that act, together with hit proscrip tion and removal from oflice of better demo crats than himself upon mere personal grounds, made more than a thousand votes against Stout, aud are of themselves sufficient cause for the withdrawal of democratie support from turn and his kind. Lane has been guilty of obtruding bis own personal quarrels into the contest, as I con ceive in bad taste, and very much to the prej udice of Mr. Stout. If Stout was running as a democrat Lane had no business to pen! bi chances liy thrusting the burden of hut own shortcomings, and consequent unpopularitv upon the shoulders of the latter, labeled with the declaration Stout 6 electios IS mt vikdicatios." The reverse of the proposi tion must now be true, and it but remains to be seen w hether he will have the ho nest v to say that the election of Logan is his condem nation. To those who think that deception. fraud, humbureerT, and proscription will lon ger win, I, have only to say, adhere to Lane' personal party, and if you are not already sat isfied, whenever the issue ia fairly made, the conviction will be forced npon vou that Oregon a v7rt mcruii Cotton. Cotton is a great power, and ex ercises a vast influence in the nation. To abol ish cotton would be to revolutionize the Union Cotton ia essential to the comfort, wealtb and prosperity of tbe nation, and enters largely into every kind of manufacture. A well known pol itician of Mississippi, in a recent speech before the sovereigns, said : "Your woolen goods are nearly all cotton ; your linen shirts are now made of cotton, and your silk bate are nearly three-third cotton. ry Elder Fisher, of San Francisco, of the M.
