Editor" or the Statesman : Iu thinking of the daplicitr of Line tc Co., in the !nt van ras f.r state oSoer, I c-innot help rvviewinj thtir treachery to the democratic rtr, and if for no other reason, lot- to jontifr nirx-lf in rrfuniny to rot for Stout, the oo-calU-U drmo enitic niiii. Never in the htvtory of plit ical partiea ha there ben Jch a iliami-fol d aertioa of pkMgea and prtmrtle, nhrre men preeumvd ao much on the inomnee of the peo ple aa to attempt to blind thrui with fabw ta tie, and to a raw them to the iiport of riu ciplet the reverw of democratic. What was the position of Stout, under the direc-tion of Lanr. upon the iuoue. and the only ime, that has divided political nartK-a front ISM to th present time the rule that tliould be applied to the government of Territories, iu regard to the question of aLtverj I The prominent tnetnlters of the demoeratic party, viewing ahtre property a to be n pard ed only on an eqnalitv w tth all wtlter peviea of property, and entitleJ to ntia.l pneciiMt from Cottjrrv and no mure ; and the aonth lieiiig willing to accept that pritivtple aa a b!iiin of po litival action, then the deiinierntic party plunk ed itelf upon the great principle f "jxinular overeignty and mm-iuU-rveutiou. and declared that the pewde of a Territiwr, like thmn' uf a State, should 1h? left perfectly free to form and regulate Urir domeoiic iitetituiiim in their oan way. mbject only to the Cotwtitntion of the United iHatea ; that foil power u veeted iu the Territorial Legirlatotv, to legislate iu re gard to all apevW-a uf pntpetiy, and to exerciw power over all rightful tuljeets of legilatiii. not excepting alavery. Such u the NitHu of the democratic, party, as exiMtnnded lv all tnr j ablest detnneratie statesnteu. frtHti 18.V) to 18.V; soch was the doctrine prwlaimed in the last Presidential campaign, both North and South, by the democratic orators, and particularly by Southern men. stamping in the North. Front these I will make a tew quotations, to jog the memory of thoee who would like to forget. lion. A. II. Stephens, Feb., 17, le54, said that M the whole question of slavery was to be left to the people of the Territories, whether jorth or south of 36" D 90'. or any other line. The whole question was to be taken out of Con gress, where it had been improperly thrust, from the btginning, and left to the people of the Territories to decide: not as the Lane dy nasty would hare it, only when they are forming- a State Constitution. In another place ia the same speech, he asks whether " they con sider it democratic to exerrie the high prerog ative of stifling the voice of the people on the v subject of slaverr I 1 he same question can be very properlv asked of Lane, and aim of Senator Smith : alhoairh Lane, ia 1855, him self took the popular sovereignty shoot, and stamped Oregon supporting the principle which he now ortnoses. Hon. Ilowell Cobb, also, declared, at West chester, Pa-, in 18.x, that "he would not plant slavery upon any portion of uou s earth, against the will of the people : and in the same speech he announced, that nracticallv majority of the people represented in the Ter ritorial Legislature would decide the slavery question, whether they decide it by prohibiting it, accoruiitr to the one doctnue, or by refus ing to pass laws to protect it. Hon. James L. Orr declared, that if the peo ple of a Territorr are oppo-ed to the institution of slavery, and do not desire it engrafted npon them, all they have to do is to re luxe to pass . - T r ... . laws in tueir territorial iegirtainre lor its pro tection, and then it was as well excluded as if the power was vested 10 the Territorial Legis lature to prohibit it. Mr. Buchanan said : The legislation of Congress respecting domestic slavery, derived as h has been from the original and pure foun tain of legitimate political power, the will of ue msyoniy, promises, ere long, to anay tne dangerous excitement. This legislation is founded opon principles as ancient as free gov ernment itself, and in accordance with litem ha? simply declared that the people of a Terri tmy, like those of a Stite, shall decide for themselves whether slavery shall or shall not exit within their limits." I might brin any number of speech), made by democratic statesmen, to sulistantiate this Sosition, if necessary. And now, with all can or, I would ask the democratic speakers who have stamped Oregon since li'iS, if they think the people htve forgotten when this d.ictrine of popular sovereignty was tne principal point harped npoo in their speeches the great prin ciple which was to overshadow everything else! Gen. Line, iu particular, when stamping the Territory with lien. Gaines, in 1S5j how elo quently he appealed to the sympathies of the people in support of popular sovereignty, and full power iu the Territorial Legislature with regard to this question ! Then 1 ask, is it pos sible for him and his followers, in the face of all their own arguments, to reconcile their po sition now with their former one ? Is it not as plain as the sun at noon-day, that their present position is in direct contradiction to their form er one? If their former position was demo cratic, bow can they claim to be democrats, and hold the position they now do, that the peo ple af a Territory have no right, until they are aatnming State sovereignty, to decide upon this slavery question. That was Mr. Stout's posi tion in the last campaign. . Was Mr. Stont then a democrat ? The answer is emphatical ly, vol -Na man can claim to lie a democrat who ii nadiates popular nrereicnty, as Stout did boldly. Could ne expect to get the votes of honest democrats, who were stich Irom princi ple, aad not for spoils, preaching as he did nn-ti-demoeratie doctrine, and coming as lately as he did front a knownotliiitg wigwam, and from the political trickery of California T Mod lorbid, that he erer should receive democratic surMrt ! lint why do not the Lane party come nut openly like men, and acknowledge their de sert ioti of the principle of popular sovereignty, and not seek to cover it up with the contempti ble subterfuge, that the proper time for the peo. pie of a Territory to decide this question for iheawelves ia when they are assuming State sovereignty f Mr O Mrara ia the only w ho has had the manly courage to acknowledge the d ri ser h Hi of this principle. He does not cavil or prevaricate over the matter, as did Stout, Lane and Smith. He says " We franklr confess the democratic party does not stand where it did in the lust quadrennial campaign on the slavery question."- He snys there are some demnt-rnts who never subscribed to the popnlnr sovereign ty doctrine, and who consequently have under gone no change. There are none of them in Oregon. I-ae cannot say that he never sub srrirted ro popular sovereignty in its fullest ex tent, as far as Mr. Doucln now doc. Deliizon Smith acknowledged his change, but in stumping the State the last time he cnretully avoided allusion to the natioitnl issues, upon w hicli he has changed in pursuit of the spoils, but confined himself wholly to locM issues nud nlne of Bush ami the "Snlem eliiue." lie didn't seem to be on the same side be was when here last venr, and his speech this time sounded very much like Kelly's. O'Meara's and Barnaul's of last rear. A sudden and radical change! Iu conclusion, I would sar that all w ho claim to be democrats, and expect democratic sup port, must stand fairly and squarelr on Popu lar Sov ereignty as expounded bv Mr. Huch- anan in bis letter accenting the nomination for the 'residency, by Cobb, Orr. Stephens, and by Stephen A. Ifcmglas. Mr. Douglas deserves more credit for his treatment of that question than any other living statesman. He hits ren dcred an invaluable service, w hich w ill be ever gratefully remembered by every true democrat and lover of his country." lie could neither la bribed or driven to desert the principle for which he fought agniust the fniiiiticism of the North and the intemperate tent of the South. Will not then the Demoeracr of Oreenn stnnd by him in the maintenance of riplit principles, and administer a withering rebuke to political trickery and corruption f W.U. J. Al-LtS.

The decisiou of the State Central Committee seems to nave neen made in dt tiiiucu ol the wishes of the majority of the democratic party in Orejrnii. Xot only the opponents of Gen. Lane, but a large portion of In personal friends were desirous that the action ol the Committee should have the tendency to harmonize the dif ferences existing iu the democratic party. The majority uf the Committee have decided upon course evidently intended to conhrni and widen the breach already existing, nnd in man ifest contempt of a large portion of their con stituency. The same agencies that nominated Stout, contrary to almont universal expectation, and in deliunce ot pultlio opinion, have now con Humiliated nnother net of reckless impolicy. Do they, can they have at heart the iutcrests they represent ? It can but seem patent to the most indifferent observer, that they are pursu ing personal en Is regardlea of consequences. Is it the duty of the true democracy to stand listless while they peril their interests, and con temn their just rights ? The portion uf the democracy against whom they have arrayed themselves in opiiosition, have Wen staunch and unflinching partisans from first to last. They comprise the talent and influence, the stamina and adamant of the party. Among them are few of ability, few of the long tried democracy. Among them, nae most of the na tionals, and all our natural enemies adhering to our organization for the spoils. Their impolitic course w ill work their ow n ruin. They have no natural elements of adhe sion, and will eventually full in pieces. It re quires but little foresight to predict that the real democracy of talent and principle will triumph, aud w rest misrule from their suicidal hands. COOS.

' OC-CAIOAfe t'ORRKPODKrK. Raratooa Spkisos, Sept. 19, 18o9. The visiting season is over tlie fashionable throng, with its accompaniments of fuss and feathers, Dutch Tiddlers culled professors, aud French took culled artists. French milliners nud dancing masters the former neat and co quettish, nud the latter trim aud foolish con certs nn i thows. big bugs from the city and lit tle bugs from the country, and humbugs from everywhere, are all gone. The exceedingly cold nnd blustering weather we have had for tipw unl of a w eek, has made the exodus of the visiting crowd a perfect stampede to the south ward. A few Cubitus aud a lew scattering rep resentatives from the southern States, are all there is left of the thousands of strangers so lately swarming our village. NotnitliKtatnling, however, this sudden ter mination to the season, it bus been an uncom monly good one for Saratoga. The number uf arrivals from the 1st of June tip to the present time, cannot lie less than fifty thousand, which is far hirper than that of any previous year. This success has stimulated tlte ambition of our hold keepers, and already various alterations and enlargement have been commenced by some of them. Xext year will, therefore, see Sitrntngn presenting additional attractions to seekers after health and pleasure. Last week we had an agricultural fair in this village, and to add the interest of the show. La Mountain was engaged to make an ascetisioii in his balloon Atlantic. The ocenrion drew to gether nu immense crowd of people. La Moun tain took with hi in two passengers, one being a little girl, (a niece of his.) and the other, the editor of t lie Troy Times. The asceiiMou was made in fine style, the girl waving her hand kerchief until her tiny form disappeared in space. 1 bad w ituessed a number ol ascensions by men, but never before beheld a mere child take a voyage in the air. While gazing at the little one'as she was carried upward, Ihe anec dote told of Prof. Wise and a little boy came Very forcibly to miod. The lmy ai-fced the aeioiiaiit to takelim up in hi balloon. '-Why, in)' child, ilo you make such a request f" asked the Professor. " Because, papa died a little while ago, and I want to go up and see him," was the boy's answer. While oil the subject ol" ballooning, I may as well adj au interesting paragraph all about an uir-ship, or wonderful dimensions, and more wonderful appurtenances attached, that lins just la-en discovered near New York. It ap- penrs that while Professors iscuud LaMnuu t aiii w ere puking sharp sticks at each other in the newspapers, and talking loud of a voyage to Europe in an air ship nt Mime future period, some practical individual was Very quietly tit work building a ship lh.it promises to take the wind tint oi the 1'rolessors' sail. The an nouncement was made the other day in a Xew York paper, thnt "the project of crossing the Atlantic Ocean with an air-ship, long talked of but m ver accomplished, has taken a shape so definite, that the apparatus is alrendi prepared nud the aeronaut ready to undertake his tak." The balliHUi is npwnrJs of 300 feet hijrh, with lilting power of 2-1 tons, and capacity id gas id 725.000 feet. Attached to it is a basket 20 feet iu circii inference, aud a life-lxmt, contain - an Ericsson enffme. The aeronaut iu com mand is Mr. T. S. C. Lowe, with several seiei - tifie assistants. Mr. Lowe has taken every pre caution to muke the undertaking safe and suc cessful, aud he is so coulideiit that he gives the assurance that his bnllouti is more safe than a steamship, and that he w ill make the trip to r.ngliind or r ranee in Irom 48 to bt hours or go into the ocean. The voyage U to be under taken immediately after the equinoctial storm, which would bring it in October. I observe by afl accounts that you Oreeon- ians find a prodigious siht of trouble entailed on self-government. Your distress manifests itself iu your neui-puper. and your dissatisfac tion sticks out gluriugiy in your voting. There is something going wrong with you evidently some big swindle perpetrated by somebody, and more of the same sharp practice threatened, all of w hicli don't appear to please you. Un reasonable that you are ! You are as difficult to satisfy as a young couple just gone to house keeping. The i neat is too fat. Mtidtbeii too lean, and w hat provokes vou more, isi.f short weight. Then the stove smokes, and burns too much wikhI for the heat it gives. And to fill vour cup of discontent, the cook the very head aud front or all your domestics, and in the selection or whom yon exercised your best judgment, and indulged in the utmost liberality this carefully selected chef de cuisine you find dou't come up to the standard of an orJiiiary Biddy in all that constitutes a culinary artist. He neglects all your favorite dishes, nnd spoils your best meats. And when you go to him as you would to any oi her cook that happened to get drunk on the w ine inteuded for the sauce, or bun t the din ner while playing 'old sledge" with the cow boy, or didu't cook any at all, as you seem to have been served on several occasions for the iiirpose of remonstrating with biiu on his had liabits and ifeneral short coiuinirs, and he tells you you don't know euod conkins from bad. and are incapable of determining whether your hell is lull or empty, aud couclodes the inter view bv slaiuuiiiir the door in your face, vou have a natural right to feel savage. But iu time you will get accustomed to such petty an noyances, and not mind beimr nut off w ith a coid bite w hen you may have good reason to look lor a sumptuous feast. If, however, you consider tour condition not to be Ixinie, you may find relief on a change of cooks. But, in the event of your doing so. don't emulate the judgment of an ass and import a graduate from Galitornia kitchen. 1 hey can cook well enough, but not near so well as they can steal. 1 his advice is given you gratis. PABLO. PROfEEDLVOS Of the Annual Meeting of the Linn County jitote society or uregon. The annual meeting of the Linn Co. Bible ocicty, was held at the M. E. Church in Brownsville, Oct. 18th, 1859.

THE HON. BETEBDV JSWIMJI. The Honorable Itemdr Johnson, a well known politician, lawyer, aud statesman, of Maryland, was in tins city last week, prepara tory to a tfirai'n in Knrooe. where be intends. either in Iindon, Paris, or Vienna, to undergo a surgical operation. That ojieration will be none other than that of extracting one of Lis eves from its socket. It will be a painful, but by uo means dangerous surgical act of dismem berment. It is one that is frequently perform ed ; but is uone the less repulsive on that ac count. The eye tuny be extracted from its cavity with less pain and dauger than usually attends the extraction ol a t colli . Some rears esro. Onrernor Collins, of Rhode Island, had one of his eyes taken out. root and branch ; and although timid surgeons admon ished him of extraordinary danger incident to the operation, he submitted to it without a mo ment s hesitation. The offending eye was ta ken cut without (littieuliv, and the old rovem- or. rears afterward, laughed over the squeain- Ulmess uf his surgical advisers. Ihe unlucky eye which Mr. ICeverdy John son desires to lie removed, and which, if not removed, will lead him to a premature grave, received its wound, aud probably eternal dis comfiture, in incidents connected with the du ello. Iu the rear 1812, when Captain John Tyler had determined to democratize the ad- niioistratiim. and after the now Governor Wise, of Virginia, had quit the associates with whom he was bnnded iu defeating Martin Van Bo reu, the Honorable Edward Stanley, of North Carolina, who adhered to the old whig, or Har rison party, took occasiou to offer tilting insults to the orator of Accomac, Mr. Wise. These insults were not. at the outset, noticed by Mr. Wise ; but at last they became so pal pable and outrageous, that he one day told Mr. Stanley, in the House of llepresentatives, that if they were not discontinued be would mfli t on him erHoiiul chastisement. This roused the lion uf North Carolina, and lie found himself in a condition that exacted from him the alter native of a challenge to personal combat, or suhseqoeut disgrace. Mr. Stanley hesitated for a goodly period; but at last did challenge, aud selected the Hon orable Keverdy Johnson as his trainer and keeja-r for the duel that was to ensue. Mr. Keverdy Johnson took the Honorable Mr. Stan ley into his private keeping, and undertook to put him through the science i f private war. Mr. Johnson's cour.- of practice required Mr. Stanley to fire at a rihhou, six feet long and one men wnle. eoiihneu to a tree. in 1st Stanley was firing at the ribbon, one of his shots "gliiiiced," aud came indirect contact w ith Mr. Johnson's left eye inflicting a wound which, from that day to this, has gradually in creased, until a surgical operation has become necessary and nnlispeiisalfle. 1 be eye most be tukeu out. or Mr. Johnson must die. Mr. Keverdy Jobtison has had a varied and a wonderful career. In the year 1S;J2. he was at the bead of the Union Hank of Maryland. The bank failed, ruining all the stockholders, and a multitude of depositors. The failure was regarded as au outrage and a sw indle. Popu lar indignation and fury was engendered ; nnd an unlic' ned mob seized on Keverdy John son's mansion, in Monumental Square. Balti more, rilled it, threw its costly f urniture, and extensive library, aud wine cellar, into the streets, and made of them a public bonfire. Mr. Johnson escaped with Lis life imperiled. into the interior. He subsequently returned instituted suits nrainst the State of Maryland for damages, because it had not afforded him protection ; and obtained a verdict of one or two hundred thousand dollars. - Keverdy Johnson now assumed a position in society, aud became a man of conseooence. a positive lion, as the leader of the Henry Ciaj or Whig party cf Maryland. In IrJW, Mr. Johnson bolted from the Henry Clay or Whig party, and espoused the cause of General Zachary Taylor. After the election of old " Bueua Vista," Mr. Johnson was ap pointed United States Attorney General, aud held the office until the death of the then Pres ident, w hen he resigned, and was succeeded by John J. Crittenden, of Kentucky. Mr. Keverdy Johnson is now an old man ; ami like most other old men, should le desi rous of that domestic reiKse and quiet which is a legacy due to declining years. Bat Le still retains his vigor, and is anxious fcs ever for the bustle and excitement incident to political life ; and is now on his w ay to Europe, to have his eve taken out. that he. may hereafter, w ith a single organ of vision, hunt np the phantom of the Presidency. It is hoped that he will be successful; and that with one eve. wide awake, he mar discover the error of his former ways. and live long enough to ascertain how futile and abortive are the hallucinations of the part isan and the demagogue. E7 The following paragraphs were crowded out of our Portland correspondence, last week, to make room for the States news : Dryer.

You weiy in California in 18o7 ; if you will sriance at the recent issue "of the 5 talesman. and then at the files of 1857, yon wOl find that what was democracy in 1857 is democracy now. and what was heresy then, is heresy now. It was democracy then to support regular nomi nations of democrats fairly made. It was heresy then, to effect nominations by fraud. ! and to nominate others than democrats. The j appointment of such democrats as W. W. Chapman, would have been heresy then ; it is beresy now, except with the Lane society. To vote for Law son was not then democratic ; it is not democratic now, except with the Lane society. The fall exercise of individual judg ment in tbe matter of votin for a nominee with a knownothing record, or for a democratic candidate made such by bargain, eorroprion and fraud, was then democratic, and it is now, except w ith the Lane society. To vote for nominations of democrats, fairly made, was then democratic, and it is now, except with the Lane society. ry The other nisht. a landlord discovering one of his customers, who w as drunk, '-slosliing about" in'the mire, went to his aistance, and setffifg hmt npon his feet,- inquired if he was - - i t. .. t,A mstlpr. vnlt SICK, or " u " ' : v - " 1 the bw xy customer, I aitrt sick, nor I amt 1 drnuk but I'm mighty tUacotirugeU."
