With regard to the Congressional election,

Bat tha question of the right of Brock's con

Electors which shall bind the democracy of this
State is of the highest importance. There are
dsabtlese homett Laae democrats ia the State,

Does not that mean ' Oongretrional inter

of sentiment on this question in Oregon," is
there, when Lane and every lackey he has, is

service of Lane, see no difference between
that and the doctrine they are required to ad
vocate ! :
In Lane's late speech in the Senate, the

that ftreat principle.
- This " middle doctrine," as Senator Brown,
of Mis., declared, is too altsurd for sensible
men to promulgate. There is some sense and
reason in the " Brown and Daria doctrine,"
that if slavery goes into the Territory by virtue
of the Constitution, it is therefore the duty of
Congress to pass laws to protect it. There is
some plausibility and justice in this. But to
mock the slaveholder with a right to take his
property into a Territory and then refuse him
protection by either Congress or the local legis-
tatare, is mockery, and nothing more. Doug
las' position is that the local authorities can
protect or can rernse to do so. And this was
the. doctrine Joseph Lane advocated in its
broadest application all over Oregon, both in
1835 and 1857. It was then, in his estimation,
not only anti-democratic, but it was a violation
of natural right to withhold from the people of
the Territories this right to regulato their own
domestic concerns, and concede each rights to
the people of the States. lie then would in
dignantly inquire, if the citisen of South Car
olina, Missouri, Ohio, Indiana or Illinois lost
any of his capacity for self government by go
ing into one of the Territories 1 Now, running
a ridiculous race for a Presidential nomination,
he has received new light, and discovered that
it is anti-democratic to. permit the people of the
Territoriee to govern their own affairs.
The Territory of New Mexico has as perfect
a slave code as has any slave State of the
Union, enacted by the Territorial legislature.
Douglas says that is valid. Lane says, above,
tbat a Territorial legislature has no such power.
If that is the case, he is bound to get some one
to write him a bill repealing the slave code of
New Mexico, and introduce it in the Senate.
Will he do that f He must, to be consistent.
Gen. Lane does not state the fact, as his au
diences can testify, when ho says that this
question was made in our late election in Ore
gon, and that he advocated it. No such is
sue was made here, and Lane advocated noth
ing, except Lane. "The democracy of Oregon
did not indorse tbat principle administration
middle ground." With the exception of fed
eral office-holders, pap-feeders, and expectants,
we don't believe there are five men in Oregoa
who endorse this " middle ground ' doctrine.
that Lane says he and on," but don't under
stand. There are quite a respectable number
of supporters of the Brown and Davis doctrine,
but very few of the betwixt and between "
men.
This doctrine of popular sovereignty and
non-interveution is older than the democratic
party ; it was prornulgcd before the Revolution
by the Colony of Virginia, when the British
Crown undertook to intervene in this matter of
slavery in that Colony. Thomas Jefferson,
the foutider of the democratic party, preserved
and handed it down, and the democracy rigidly
maintained and defended it. When interven
tion, in the shape of the Wlliuot Proviso,"
was proposed they resisted it. When the Mis
souri Compromise was found to intervene, they
repealed it. And, in the last Presidential
election, the Cincinnati Convention promulgcd
H, Mr. Buchanan specially .endorsed it, and,
non-intervention by the general government
in the affairs of the Territories" was in every
democratic orator's mouth, and upon the ample
folds of every demoeratio banner from Maine
to Florida.
What doe friend Bush bare to say ? Yreka Union.
He has to say to you, that a man who hadn't
democracy enough to keep him from member
ship of a knownothing urigwam, is not likely to
be accepted as a volunteer political teacher.
And of the Lane Society he has to say, that
they would unite with the veriest abolitionist in
existence if. vrith him, they could elect Lane to
the Senate ; that they are contemplating a re
publican coalition to that end, and have fixed
upon a man whom they design to make Lane't
republican colleague, if they cannot otherwise
accomplish Lane's election. Of Delusion Smith,
he has to say, that true to his instincts and his
history, he wonld sell bis party, his county, his
friends, everybody and everything, not even
excepting his soul, for a seat in the Senate of
the U.S.

' Our War Debt. A VaCington eorres
poiidrnt, noticing tht Introduction into tha Sen
ate of the bill to pay tha Oregon war it, and
. other ki'ls, says "they are aot expected to pass,
af coarse, bat their in trod act ian la necessary to
aaUsfy parti Interested !' There is the truth
in a Bat she3. Lane haa no more expectation
or desire that the war bill should pass than he
has of being translated to paradise. But, it
was necessary to offer a bill so as to w satisfy
parties interested," t. e. scripliolders. Ha of
fered it in the Senate, and thus will keep any
thing from being attempted In tha Iloase, and
anything being teriouslu attempted anywhere,
. autil after the Charleston Convention I To
show his motive ia this matter, wa copy the
following from the Lynchburg rlrrtntaa (Jo
seph expects Virginia's support at Charleston,)
which we find republished in the leading paper
at Washington City :
Thr Orfoox War Debt. Tha Lynch
burg firginian, in referring ta this debt, says:
We have had occasion, several times already,
to expose the character of this Oregon war
debt to show that it is one of the most gigan
tio fraud and swindles ever hatched up by a
parcel of greedy speculators and plunderers.
A claim amounting to six or seven millions of
dollars, for the expense of a handful of men
engaged in an imaginary war with the Indians
or the Pacilio const, bears upon its face such a
suspicions character of fraud that we are not
surprised at the contemptuous indifference with
which it lias been treated by Congress. More
than this, an agent, who ha been sent to Ore
gon to investigate the matter, has reported to
Ueu. Wool the true diameter of this outra
geous claim, and that report is now on file in
the War Department, at Washington.
A proposition hd already trecf made in dbe
Selitit looking to I ho aymentof this claim,
andVa take it that if the matter be pushed to
an issue the report aforesaid will lie produced,
and the whole affair be thoroughly ventilated
and exposed. Anil a hen this ia done, we uu-
' dertako to say it will prove to be a deeply-laid
conspiracy to extort from tha fedend govern
ment a large sum of money not justly dun.
Knowing very well that the proposition cannot
stand upon its own merits, it is now proposed
to enlist iu its behalf the powerful assistance of
the lobby, lint all llio corrupt and flagitious
combinations of the lobby might not to avail to
carry through Congress this unparalleled and
outragooti tliutn. e look to the Keprescitt
atives of the people and of the Slates to inter
ocpt, and, by a deeisive demonstration, to nip
in the bud this contemplated foray upon the
treasury 01 tno union.
Of course if Lane wauts the support of this
class of pftprrs, and of Virginia at Charleston,
it won't do to really favor tho Oregon war debt.

In consideration of Mr. Miller' misfortunes,
so forcibly portrayed in the above whining let
ter, (we publish 'verbatim, italics and all) we
asked and received from hint but three dollars,
instead of five, which was our due, according
to our published terms. A few dnvs after
Wards, Mr. Miller ordered his paper discontin
ued at the end of the Volume; aud in the Inst
number of the Delazonian he has a letter,
which those who know him say cost him not
less than two months lalior. abusive of the
Statesman and its editor, and laudatory of lie-
ttioa,A hom he also addresses as "Terry Dear
Air."
Abraham sars tbat he is not qualified for the
oflice of School Superintendent, (he can't fret
np an argument on that point) lint is willing to
serve as Comity Clerk (an office which xtvt
well, while the other don't) if the democracy
of Linn tri insist upon thrusting the disagrce
able, honor upon him, " because he believes it
to be his duty," Ace. Should his unavoida
ble misfortune" extend to his defest, we will,
npon a proper representation of the facts bv
him to ns, refund him the three dollars which
he puid us fur the Statrtmnn.
A Peep Hkiiixii the Scenes. On our first
Jajre we re-publish from the N'. Y. Herald of
an. 15th a letter written from Kiaeburg, Ore
gon, where Lane's son-in-law kecjie thn Land
Office. The article carries on its face indisput
able evidence of its Lane paternity, in its mis
representations of tho ami-Lane democracy,
the classification of the strong anti-Lane coun
ties as opposition, (tho Lano in' is father to
the thought that Marion, Polk. Coos. Curry,
etc will po "opposition." They need borrow
no trouble aliout those comities,) the character
istic abnse of Mr. (.rover (it is nlmost the pre
cise language Lane and Delusion applied to
('rover hen " canvassing n last spring), tVc,
Arc. Who the author is we do not know, be
yond the fact that it comes from some Laue
man, and from a family camp. We copy it
merely to show the real estimate of and feelings
concerning Delusion, entertained by the Lane
Society. We have italicised some portions.
CP" One of onr little Lane organs sars Gov.
Latham, of California, is for Lane. The Nan
Francisco Xational, the administration and
custom-house organ, is severely denouncing
Latham as a Douglas man, and says he is en
deavoring to get biuim-lf chosen delegate to
Charleston for the purpose of voting for Dong
las. We think the National knows, and is cor
rect. Another Lane seven-by-nine, here, says
ex-Gov. Weller is for Joseph. It is understood
in California that he is for Dickinson, of which
fact we think there is no donbt.
W Mr. Buchanan's office-holders in Illinois
have held a "convention" of their numlier, and
elected delegates to Charleston ! on the Huch
anan platform. None, of the little Lane organs
here have yet given their opinion of this official
and Presidential bolting. Why don't you de
nounce it i Not long- ago. too, these same men
coalesced and co-operated with the republicans
of Illinois to defeat Douglas aud elect "Aboli
tion Lincoln." Let us know what yen think of
bolting in Illinois ?
Siskiyou for Dickinson. The Siskiyou
Couuty (Yreka) California "democratic conven
tion elected delegates to the State convention,
and adopted the following resolution with but
one dissentient :
Hetolted, That Daniel S. Dickinson, of New
York, is our brst choice for the Presidency, and
the delegation from this county is instructed to
favor and support his claims, in the State Conven
tion. Siskiyou was tho county Delusion " heerd "
was going for our Joseph.

dressed large audiences, in different portions of Linn
county, last week, expounding and dofeiidinir Peino
cratic doctrines and principles with force and effect.
Wc will be able to give particulars next week.
Laconic. The Governor of Missouri is evi
dently a character. Tho legislature of that
State recently inquired of him for the grounds
npon which he bad issued bonds to tho Cairo
railroad. He replied as follows :
Executive Department, Dec 17.
Gentlemen op the Senate : I am in receipt
of your very polite note. K. M. STEWART.
Thereupon the legislature adopted an indig
nant resolution, and renewed the inquiry.
Gov. Stewart's second reply was :
- Dec. 17, 1850.
I issued because I had the ripht to do so.
B M. STEWART."
C7- Dsltts'tn aaya ha did not boast when
drank at V,Vl.i;toB kit winter that his "elec
tion cost him forty thousand fcllare." Nobody
xpects him to admit, aad Cast parsons waald
expect him to deny It. Bat he did so boast,
and frequently. For this we ht7e the ttate
tnent of two or three persons who are trc'.iful
men. He says, too, that he did not write to
Mr. Geary asking Mr. Brown's displacement.
It Is just aa "CTTflv to lie true as if Delusion had
not denied it. A fact known to those intimate
with Delusional that he is an nnconsionable
liar. Whence came back here last srtring he
gave Col. Nesmith to understand that Mr. Gea
ry had written to the President disparagingly
of him, N'esnwn Col. N. applied to Mr. Gea
ry, and was rrJonued, what he was before well
assured of. that the intimation was false. In
Col. Netmith'et ofilee, in the presence of two
well known elds-ens. Col. N. asked Gen. Iane
ir such a letter had been written to the 1 'resi
dent. Lane replied in the negative. Then,
said Col. NM "there is a quest ion of veracity
between yon (Lane) and Delaion Smith.'
I jtne answered, ' there can be no question of
veracity between me and Delaton Smith j
Smith wa not in hie right mind half of the
time in IVr0gns." We submit that false
hood was pretty closely fastened upon Delu
sion, as well os proof that he waa at least "half
of the time" w craxy drunk," or "not in his
right mind.' But Delusion's rejoicings over
Brawn's displacement by Lane, are particular
ly mean ; fr Brown haa more than once given
him a bed sdieti he "was not in his right inlnd,"
and otherwise kept him front advertising his
condition, ile proves himself an in grate as well
aa traitor. Delusion talks about Judge Wil
liams being' imported " iuto Linn ; and "our
( Delusion's) bailiwick," meaning Linn county.
We undertone, dodge Williams to be a citizen
of liregon ' I there is just as much proprie
ty in his ols a call from his fellow citir.ens
of Linn bmi,i.y, M "ITf thostr of Multnomah.
Delusion evidently thinks, (as be tells people
abroad) that he own$ Linn county. , Ile may
he laboring Under a mistake in that connection.
Delusion, in bis last, styles Senator Douglas
"Stephen Arnold Douglas." That was a
nitk-naine given him by thn Fremont press iu
'50, and intended as a term of reproach to
connect him with Benedict Arnold. It is meet
that Delusion should borrow it from them.
VlOLATINO THR SaNCTtTT Or TUB MAIL.
Some scoundrel at the instance of Delusion has
gained access to the mail containing the
Brownsville package of the Statemtn and
stuck a republican "tract "into Mr. Charles

Im ia a quiet and worthy citisen, who has really
been imposed upon by this scurvy trick.
We never saw the " tract " described, and
certainly never gave it such public endorse

Mr. Claiborne J I ill. a stockholder in Delusion,

A Dem'siox Man A young man of the

seems to have an itching for newspaper notori
ety. Ile sent to Delusion lately, for publica

comments. Willing to assist the young man

Dew " us several months subscription to the

he asks us to discontinue ; and that onr ' Black

Statettnan, usually have independence enough
to stihscrilie for it themselves, and honesty
enough to par for it. We hope that Thomas
will not bo ouVtwied by these suggestions par
ticularly tho first. A number of Delusion's

when asked to pay up arrearages. Delusion
himself did.
Disunion. Senator (in in, of California.
has nintlu a deliberate, thorough disunion
speech in the Senate. It is said to have killed
him in Califirnia. It ought to do it, not only
with Cnlifornians. but with American. The
man who is so lost to the hopes ami blessinirs
of Human Freedom as to prench disunion, is
unfit for public station. For nurself, we will
yield supivort to no man or creed that docs not
carry the tlag and keep step to the music of

President, should recommend the payment of the war debt in
his messaee ; that functionsry forgot to do it. Delusion aud
the other Lane whistles then "underttood that the Secreta

dorsed his report, and thus our war debt!" That was very
ineentous I ! But In due time the report of the Secretary of
War came, and, lo! and behold. As had also "forgotten to men

matter attended to, by either of those gentlemen, both " our

Smith, Knownothing,-11:1; sc.nlterinp;, 3; neces
sary to a choice, 1 Hi. Pennington, the new Re
publican nominee, is from New Jersey, and, as
will be seen, required only one vote to be elected.
Tho character of the three scattering; votes is not
given iu the dispatch.
Thn niouotutious proceedings in the Ifnttso Jan.
27, were enlivened by an episode that nearly re
sulted in tho election of a Speaker. On calling
for a ballot, the name of W. C. N. II. Smith,
Knownothing, formerly a whig of X. C, was put
forward amid much excitement, which grew in
tense as voting proceeded. Messrs. Morris, Mil
wooJ, Dickson. ricrantn, and Wood, Anti-Le-rompton
Democrats, Mr. Jtorock, the original
Ihjiiiocr.ttic candidate, Mr. McClernnntl, of Illi
nois, Mr. Cobb, of A'nbnma, Mr. Rutfin of N,
C, Mr. Unmet, of Ky.( Messrs. Vallandinghatn
and .'ox of Ohio, many other 1 Vmocrats, and all
of the South Americans, voted for him. Mr.
C ochrane, of New lork, and Morris, of Illinois.
declared they would not voto for him, but sttbse-
qcntly changed their mind and supported turn.
After the vote was taken, Mr. Morris again re
considered his vote and cast it for Corwin, fur
which he was hissed in tho galleries. Messrs.
Judkins, Scrnnton aud Dickson also changed
from Smith after Mr. Sherniau had risen ami cast
his vote for Corwin. On announcing the ballot it
was found to be ns follows :
Whole number of votes...... .. ...228

Tho members from New Jersey and Pennsylva
nia led oir un Smith more for the purpose of tan
talizing the Democrats, and they were frightened
to see the Democrats fullow their lend ; bnce
they were forced to change their votes. Sher
man's voting for Corn-in was the signal of danger.
A great fire occurred in New York, Jan. 30, do
st roving Hon tier's Ledger presses and involving a
loss' of I70,IK0.
The Pike's Peak Express Company have decid
ed to run in connection with their lino a pony ex
press, from Leavenworth to Sacramento, the
time is fixed at ten days, and, under the admirable
system of the Company, there is little doubt bnt
that this will be accomplished. The Postoflice
Department has also ordered the Utah mall ser
vice back to its original time, makiug a weekly
instead of semi-monthly mail.
It is rumored that the Government is about ar
ranging a Horse Express, from St. Joseph, Mo.,
to Placerville, Cal., to councct with the telegraph
to Snu Francisco, thus securing dispatches from
the Atlantic in ten days.
Late Washington dispatches state that Sena
tors intend to introduce an amendment in the
Kansas Constitution, providing for a change in
the boundary line so as to take iu Pike's Peak,
raise burly-burly, and thus defeat the admission
of Kansas during the present session.
Tho telegraph advises ns, says the Missouri
Democrat of the 2tith ult., that to-day the Legis
latures of Kentucky and Tennessee visit the
Legislature of Ohio, at Columbus, and afterwards
receive a magnificent ovation in Cincinnati, the
State officers of Indiana participating. The fra
ternal hug of two Northern and two Southern
States is a most gratifying exhibition to all who
are concerned for tho perpetuity and prosperity
of the Union.
At a recent Union meeting at Knoxville, Tenn..
Judge Baily. formerly of Georgia, made a speech,
in which he said that d urine the Presidential

Wise said that he had an array in readiness to

proprieties which ought to be observed in all affairs,
political as well ns social. And there are democratic
usages, founded in justice and reason, and approved by
experience, which it will not do lightly to throw aside,
for the mere selfish advantage of an srraul demagogue
and his venal satellites. I have never heard of a single
instance wherein a Presidential Electoral ticket has

that the convention art adjourn wnthout maktAir m
