A MBtiment ha obtained to a great extent,
among those who bare been aware of the man
ner in which the federal appropriation! for the
psblio Mrriee in Oregon bare been misapplied
and perrerted for the parpoae of furthering
Lane'a interests, and rewarding Lane's person
ml supporters, that so long as the money was
disbursed among oar citizens, and pat in circu
lation in the country, the fact that it was some
times entrusted to ignorant, careless, or dishon
est bands, and therefore frequcntlr squandered
or embesaled, or put to improper uses, would
not occasion any serious or important injury
to the country at large, howerer much private
interests might be made to suffer through such

No one believes that the federal authorities
at Washington nnd the tuenibcrs of Congress
can always be kept in ignoraneo of abuses
which, from long practice, hare become so fa
miliar to the people of Oregon, that there is
scarcely an attempt at concealment of them.
' There is a story told of an old Mexican gentle
man, who bad become so accustomed to the al
most daily revolutions In the government of
that unhappy republe. that he died from sheer
surprise one morning, en being in Tonne J that
the previous day had paed without even an
attempt at a revolution. Many citizens of Or
egon wonld doubtless be equally surprised, at
the positive asrra-.ies tluvt a'.l the federal offi
ces in Oregon were fil'el with honest, vflicitiit,
and disinterested incumTtent. and that the pub
lie business was transacted with reference to
the good of the cettntry, instead of fr ifce bert
efit of private interim and ambi'.ion. It ts a
matter of cutoirod notoriety, that there is
scarcely a dollar disbursed by any federal ap-!
potntee in Oregon, without special reference to
the intervtts of Lace and his satellite?. Every
man who supplies the government official with
a pound of flour or bacon; every man who per
forms any sort of service, as clerk, laborers or
cook for any of the offices ; every mat who is
awarded a contract to furnish supplies of any
kind for the government service, is "expected
to sing praises to Jo. Lane over every dollar he
receives," while the disbursing official is requir
ed to do likewise over every dollar he pay
out. Remissness in this respect is speedily de
tected, and summary punishment threatened,
by the watchful satellites of the injured Lane.
It is impossible, we say, that these things can
be kept from the knowledge of the federal au
thoritie. and of Congress. Indeed, we hare
evidence that they are now well known al
most, if not quite as well known at Washington
City as they are here in Oregon. If there is
any knowledge lacking- on the subject, there
are many not only able, but willing and eager
to supply it. And the consequence at length
will be. that Congress will refuie, altogether, to
appropriate money for diibnreiueut in Oregon,
for any purpose. This will not probably occur
while Gen. Lane retains the favor of the ad
ministration and of a majority of the dominant
party in Congress ; but the day will come, and
it is now not far distant, when the rottenness
and corruption of the present offiee-holding
factin on this coast will lie thoroughly exposed ;
and Oregon will suffer a peuance for so long
permittin sack avstate of things, in a depriva
tion of the annual appropriations which have
hitherto been expended here, and which have
added considerably to the wealth and prosperi
ty of our State. This is not mere idle specu
lation. The aversion of Congress to appropri
ate money front the public treasury, without an
urgent n?eeeittv or some political object in
view, is notorious ; and when popular odium
once attaches to any usual subject of Congress
ional appropriation, members of Congress are
Tery loth to incur popular divpleasure, by rut
ing away tie palilic money upon it. We all
remember some of na, perhaps, keenly how
Col. r aulkner, our true fnend, and a just
man, when soliciting the suffrage of his Vir
ginia constituents for re-election to Congress,
made a virtue of bis instrumentality in defeat
ing an appropriation to pay our war debt. He
was playing upon the very natural and general
public sentiment againrt expending the treas
ure of the people upon questioned objects. And
the fact of bis defeat is no evidence that the
argument did not have its weight. We shall
doubtless, one of these days, hear of members
of Congress taking credit to themselves that
they voted against appropriating money to be
expended in Oregon, for the purpose of bol
stering up Jo. Lane's personal party, and keep
ing him in the Senate.
There is another consideration in .connection
With this matter, which our citizens would do
well to ponder. If Gen. Lane is permitted,
through the indifference or inaction of the peo
ple, to perpetuate himself in office through of
ficial corruption, and by a system of bargain
and sale of the dignities and profits connected
with the adiuiuiptration of public affairs in Or
egon, the whole body politic will finally become
so demoralized and corrupt, that any man, how
ever base and undeserving, who may through
trickery and fraud obtain a place a Inch will en
able him to control a portion of the federal pat
ronage, may do as Lane has done, and by the
purchase of renal support, retain his position
in office, in spite of the popular wishes and op
position to him.
Of Course. An article in a little dingy sheet
(published at Rose burg, on T Vault's old cast-off
TP') written by Mosher, son-in law of Lane,
and, of course recipient of federal patronage,
recommend the mobbing of the Statesman.
You bad better " try that on. my little man.
In monarchical countries that remedy is some
tiroes applied to a free press which dares oppose
the government, but we don't think Lane is
quite m march enough in Or. -Ron to warrant an
experiment of that kind upon an independent
press. If the family think otherwise, they can
-wade io." Delusion also advises a mob
Hadn't those twa worthies better redress: their
wa grievances, and not call upon a mob to do
it? Wouldn't tbey like to have John Adam's
Sedition law enacted in Oregon ?
Mr. Alphabetical Coon, the nominal editor
f Mosher's little seven-by-nine, is gratuitously
advised not to be further used to rake land of
fice and Lane chetwuts from the fire. At any
sate, if he chooses to dirt orb ours, we will pub
lish a short chanter on the subject of obtaining
goods under false pretences, which may be in
teresting to Douglas county grand juries.

As Historical Reminiscence Senator
Brows, or Mississippi. In his speech on
the Oregon Bill, in the House of Representa
tives, June 10, 1848, Senator Brown, of Missis
sippi, said :
" Whether Congress hat a right at all to in
terfere with the airs of a Territorial Legisla
ture, man tret I be questioned."
This extract may be found in the bound vol
ume of Senator Brown's speeches, lately is
sued. It is on page 135. Senator Brown was
then a popular sovereignty man. and did not
believe Congress had any right to interfere w ith
the laws which a Territorial Legislature might
pass.
Gen. Lane occupied a more radical squatter
sovereignty position than Senator Douglas ever
has, when ho recommended the people of Ore
gon to go on with a State government though
not admitted "take no step backwards." The
Oregon constitution prohibited slavery in Ore
gon, and Lane said go on under the constitu
tion, without waiting to be admitted. Accord
ing to his present theory, slavery existed in the
Territory by virtue of, the constitution. The
Territorial government existed until lawfully
superceded by Congress. But Lane recom
mended the people to go on with a government
which prohibited slavery, in opposition to the
Territorial government. That was extreme
squatter sovereignty farther than Docgla
goes.
Delusion was opposed to setting the State
in motion until admission, until Joseph's whis
ky and promises converted himdter his arrival in
Washington, and liter be t-cnoed - take no'
step backwards."
The Same Here. Grave charges have
been forwarded to the Interior Office, Wnshiuj
ton, against Gen. Ward B. Burnett, surveyor
general of Nebraska, and his removal prayed
for. One section alleges that Burnett 'awarded
a contract for surveying to II. Z. Ludington
and one Mackey, (neither of them practical
surveyors), fur the purpose of haviug them sell
it for a bonus."
It is charged that the surveyor general of
Oregon. Col. Chapman, hns done this same
thing that contracts have leen let to men who
were not practical surveyors who didn't know
a c:iipn?g from a cart and they have sold
tin hi to surveyors, for several hundred dollars.
This is in violation of law.
The 16th charge ng-.iinst Burnett, is in the
follow ing words :
That in consequence of his absensc from his
p. ft, without the pe rnthttion of the Department,
important duties of the office are neglected,
and deputies suffer loss for want of his signa
ture. About what proportion of the time have our
surveyor general, and the tenants of the Win
chester land office tpent in their offices since
their appointment ?

We learn from Gen. VcCarrerrhat - Mountain RnWmoo,'
well known to an old Oreynniar s,ws killed In sprlne Talley,
Potts county, by sa Irishman whose name our Informant did
no knoir, on Thursdaj night hut. Jut at dusk Robinson and
the Irishman, who were upon a good-natured drunken frolic,
west to Robinson hoosr. During the nirht the Irishman was
heard by or.e of the neichbors making a noise; upon letting
him in, he was funnd to be Terr drank, and mumbling Rob
inson la sne la." In the morning the Irishman, sobered, went
to Robinson boose, and returning, informed the neighbor
that nVbtason sras dead, r-d that there was tlood in the

somebody had murdered htm. Oa going to hi house R bin
son was fimnd dead, his jaw broken, face badly beaten, and
marks of a heary Mow across tie forehead the wonnds ap
parently inflicted with a clnb. It is conjectured that Robin
sou and Oie Irishman got mtoa drunken quarrel, and that
the tarter killed him. Robinson was an Eaztis'nuan, an Inof
fensive, dissipated man. and had spent the most of his life (he
was about K) west of the Rocky mountain. He has drank a
deruse of whisky, and several times been frightfully wounded
with knives and bullets. His acquaintances regained him as

PtxR Frexch. Mr. French, the 1st officer
of the AortAenter, bad been long on the San

mot persons who have traveled upon it during
the last six or eight years. He was a noble
hearted and gallant fellow, no I an universal
favorite. When be started to return to the
steamer for the last time, he was urged by the
on shore to remain, and told he could never
reach the ship. He replied, " I have as much

formed a self-protective association, based on
fundamental principles that is to say, the first
Indian who got drunk was to be tied to a stump
and whipped with 23 lashes. If this penally
was to be established in Oregon, the Portland

Hard to Please is Iowa. It will be re
collected that the editor of the Portland Advo
cate grumbled considerably because Gov,
Whitcakcr, in his thanksgiving proclamation
did not recommend the people to return thanks to
the Supreme Being. Some of tho Iowa papers
find fault with the Governor's proclamation for
thanksgiving in that State, because in it, it is
asserted that the State has been blessed with
plentiful harvest this year, whereas, they say.
every one knows there was but half a crop.

The best defence of tho American title to the
Island of Sail Juan, is contained in the follow
ing front the London Star :
" When tho boundary line was fixed at the
forty-ninth parallel, it was contemplated to run
it right westward, and it only stopped at the
shore between Frazer river and Robert's Point,
because if drawn further it would cut Vancou
ver's island in two, leaving the southern or
much smaller portion to the United States; that
was felt to be au iiicouveuiencc, and it was
therefore agreed that the liue should bo drawn
southward from the point named, for the pnr
nose of including tho entire of Vancouver's is
land within the British dominions. Well, wheu
an' ambiguity, real or alleged, exists in a
treaty, the rule is a settled one that it is to be
interpreted in accordance with its object. In
this case the only object of taking tho line
southward, instead of continuing it westward,
was not to divide Vancouver's island. If that
island had not lain in the way it would never
have been a question about San Jnnu and the
rest of the ilaro group, for tiiey lie considera
bly to the south of the forty -ninth parallel ;
aud the Americans m:tv reasonably say tbnt, as
drawing the line southward was a concession
on their part, and that as their interpretation
of the clause fulfills the object in view, it is the
right one. A f-tir arbitrator, we thiuk. would
be disposed to give great weight to this argu
ment." When Gen. Scott arrived here, the San Juan
question was practically settled, and hnd been
for two mouths. The Americans were in
peaceable possession of the Island and exercis
ing, unmolested, civil and military jurisdiction
over it. There was nn occasion for Gen. Scott's
doing anything, except reporting that there was
smthrnjr so tiro. - But, imliUj f i'imj thus,

letter is published on the first pnge of this is
sue, alludes to Delusion's being in such condi
tion (drunk) in the Senate, at times that the
presiding officer refused to recognize him. The
following extract fro.tl Congressional proceed
ings, shows one instance in which the presiding
officer refused to recognize Delusion :

stead Bill will be before that committee. We
shall see whether he uill face the music this
time. Last year, he " dodged it" the second
time, after having voted against it once. De
lusion is the authority for Joseph's dodging.
The Southern Senator evidently didn't like
Joseph's playing fast and loose on the Home
stead bill, and "ere resolved to ninke bim face
the music, and so th? friends of Cobb, Breck
inridge, Hunter nnd others, candidates for the
Charleston nomination, put him on a commit
tee where it will be difficult to be on both sides!
" God bless you !"
Waxt to Sell Oyr. Some of the stock
holders in Delusion's press want to sell nut.
One of them offers his interest for20 per cent.,
or 80 per cent, less than he paid for it. He
can't find a purchaser. The r4ock of paper do
nated will soon le worked up. and there will
have to be an m-H-tniiMit op :i stockholder to
get another supply. If our frieii 1 e.ut't sell

of Delusion's subscribers are likewise anxious
to sell out. They thiuk they have leen bored

for any committee which has anything to do, is well

of the most insiguiticaut one, there is probably no oth

only duly of the Enprroesed bill committee is to com

tho Indiana Democratic State Convention to
choose delegates to Charleston, have been cho
sen. The convention will contain a majority
of thirty fur Douglas. The States papers say
this is ' considered as settliug Mr. Lane's as

the nonseuse about Lauo and the Presidency,
except that started by himself and his Hibbcn

to use him (Lane) as a decoy duck, to carry
Indiana for himself (Buchauau). Of course,
having failed in that, there is no further use for
tho decoy.

Recently a Congrcgntional pulpit was vacant

committee to inquire of an eminent divine for
a suitable pastor ; the committee called, and
the eminent divine thought he knew a candi

the committee asked, was. Is he a popular man?
The second. Is he a good speaker J Third, Is
he social and easy in his manner ? Fourth, Is
he a man of decided talents ? Fifth, Can he
live on a small salary? And then, as the com

The Condition or Utah. The Utah offi

representations of the condition of that terri
tory as have been given by newspaper corres

must resign their post unless there is some rad
ical change in the Milicy of the government to
ward the Mormons. They say that the federal
government aud its officers have not a particle
of authority in the territory; that Hrighain
Young rules as supremely as ever, and that no
law can lie executed and no crime punished;
that murder and roldierv tire common aud notori
ous, while the perpetrators cannot be brought
to justice. a lie nnny is iuucuir suu un;ie.

stringent instructions that he can do nothing,

Mormons. Tbe order of Danites, which is a

Irom desperate men who nave no other sympa

the opportnuity to plunder with safety and lead
a dissolute life. The onlv thin- accomplished
by the visit of the army to Utah has been to
make a market for the'suqdus produce of tbe
Mormons, and thus to increase their wealth at
