See Metb. Ui. pp. 01, (2, HO, 83, 103, ), WO, 192, 200, 201-Ed. of 18(i). A careful examination or the above demon strates two things: 1st, the substantial accura cy of Mr. Huberts' statements; and, 2d. the force of hi argument. Ilu observe, " Every effective Elder of tho M. E. Church has, umb-r all the solemnities of un oath, promised to do voto himself wholly to God and his work." lie has responded affirmatively to these word, "And do not mend our rule," &c. Exactly na above. Will Mr. l'earne or hi friends deny the accuracy of the quoliiiionl Not at all. What then? Why, Mr. Hubert remark inci dentally, "these are but a small part of our significant ordination vows" ; and forthwith l'earne exclaims, " The statement! are not true"; " False statements"; " .Misrepresent lions"; "And, how, if lie were loyal to hi country, he could at such a cri.'is put forth such misrepresentations," ice. Now, the question is not one as to tho pre cise accuracy of tho ritual, but, do ministers lake such rows as are inconsistent with certain civil offices They do, nirst unicslinuahly, na Mr. K. has indicated. His iiiotaliiiii are cor rect. His incidental remark ia true, because the same vow, and almost jn tho very same language, is repeated nt the time of ordinal in. Two things are Included in these quotations: 1st, Entire devotion to the work of God; 2d, Subordination tu die atithoriUes of the church, in the peculiar work of the Christian ministry. And ure not these same vows in (lie ordination service! And what become of Mr. l'earne' grave accusations against Mr. Huberts 7 At best, they are an uumitiga ed cavil. He ia justly chargeable w it la alauder. We trust there is virtue enough iu thu Oregon Conference to bold Mr. Peurno to a iiiore careful observance of the ninth cninmnudinent. That Mr. Kolierts is correct in his represent ation of the sentiment nf the church on this uestinn, we have uot 1 1 1 least doubt. In the Christian Adrocate ff Journal, of New York, March. 'J I, Istil, we Uud the following, by in talented editor, Dr. E. Thompson, since elected o Uisltop, A laymen's convention had urged lay representation from the fact it would give political importance to luymen. Dr. Thump mm any: "Wii noticed, us an objection to the layman's plan, the facilities it would ull'iird to political designs." The nuawer (by the Melh -odist) is : "The M. E. Church ia now adminis tered by half a dozen llishop. The llishopa fix the positi lis nf nearly seven thousand preachers, removing I hem when and where it seems to the episcopal judgment to be- host. The preachers have an influence over their flock without a parallel in the history of mod ern churches. Looked at theoretically, it might besaid of this system, What a temptation to politicians! Surely, they w ill flack to our church as doaes to their windows. The) havo only to sway the mind of half si doxen bishops, nnd they wiil have a complutu mastery of Method ism.' " To which Dr. Thompson rejoins: " Only to sway the minds of half a dozen bishops and seveti thousand preachers, none of whom can accept of a political office without forfeiting hit Handing, not to say his calling and self-respect ! 'Aye, there's the ruli!' if our bishops and other olergy were, to seek political office;, turn the ohnrcli into a political engine, they would siHin kindle the fires of hell within it and burn it out. No danger of that. Such an ex periment can only bo successful in dark ages or aiming dark populations." A Methodist. 186(5 A Prophetic Year..

Statesman : Oregon has been settled long enough to bu able to place herself in no mean rank among her sister States, and the only renson she does not now atiiud equal with her proud sister California, is a luck of public enterprise. Tho commercial disadvantages we labor under, in tho Willamette Valley especial ly, have been and still nro a great obstacle impeding-our progress. We havo the natural Inoilitlei and oiipitul enough to make them available if the people could only be Draught to aeo the mutter iu its proper light ; and I pur pose throwing out a few hints about this matter a nut for the people to crack, It I true thu people have begun (and I think It high time too) tu look about for greater and better commercial facilities than they have hitherto enjoyed. I refer to tho Oregon and California Knilruad enterprise, which if execut ed will mnko intercourse easy between ns aud California, but ia not that far iu the distance 7 and ia the capital of the country at the present adequate to this vast outlay 7 Is it not a mat ter of great importance to cilixens of the Wil lamette Valley to have a commercial thorough fare opened up to the Pacific more direct, cheaper nnil more convenient than that via Purlliind and the Colombia 7 ' Early in the pat Fall I made a trip, partly for recreation and partly for borvution, from Corvallia ncross the coust range to Ynquina Bay, and down the hay to the coast. I found there nn excellent harbor, well protected by high bluffs, mill the entrance easy and safe for second-clnss ocean steamers, say from 1,000 to 1,500 tons burthen. Tho bar nt its lowest singes. I nm told, I nearly or quite equal to nun in me uniiiniiim; nnu troni tins point up the hay to the junction of the Yaqtiinii with Elk Creek, n distance of HO miles, the channel, all of the way, even without any Improvement, is good, and safe for steamboat navigation. Capt, Dodge, who has lived there several years, gave it a his opinion that freight could not be worth more than liftvcnts a ton from the har bor below to this point ; but that reabippiug won hi not tie necessary, that a steamer el 0UO or 800 tons could readily ornsa tho bar at anv time and then would have a good depth of water to tho month ot Elk Creek, bringing steamboat communication with thu Paciiic within 42 miles of Corvallis, whero by means of rnilroad it might intersect navigation on the Willamette from Oregon City to Eugeno, and between these places, aa is well-known, there nie no portages, or aa tho route ia very easy nnd practicable, let the railroad extend across the valley to soino point whero it might inter sect tho wngim roud whicli will ceitninly he constructed acres tho Cascades, thus giving us a grout portion of tho trade cast of the mountains, which now goes up the Columbia Here then are two important propositions pre sented to u highly interested public, viz: the time and expense of constructing 000 mile of railroad, at a cntt of probably not le.s than $.r)U.()()() per mile; or 42, or at most 75 miles nt a probable cost of less than $10,000 per mile. Now all w ill agree that water transportation will bo cheaper than railroad for ull time to come, and consequently that the hitter plan is preferable. 1 spent several weeks in the vicinity of this hay, and while there heard considerable about certain right nf thu Indians, secured to them by government, nnd I have since heard that the courts havo decided that no white man, ex cept, officer of the government, has any rights thereat all, but in my opinion it all amounts to uliout this : As long a these Indians choose to remain there, they have a right to hunt and fish and puddle their canoes to nnd fro, just ns they always have done, and that Is about all that is secured to Iheiii. Hut if it is olheriviie. I think the oil izens should take hold nf tho mat ter and present a petition praying Congress to grant lliein the right of way through thi im portant channel which may yet become a flour ishing commercial thuroughluro. Another important point may be looked after, which is Ibis: The Oregon Transportation Company were nlune instrumental in securing tho location of the Reservation, including the Silelz nnd Yaqliina bay, for the express pur pose or shutting out, for nil time to come, com mercial intercourse through this channel that they might thereby monopolize the whole car rying trude nnd "gobble up " the siibstnuco of Ilio people by exi rbilant rale of fare and freight. If this i nut the case, why is so much exertion In ing made, and on to little pretext, to prevent the public from using the bay 7 And why is it that the Indian Agent gives himself so much trouble nbiiut the presence nf certain perso: s nn tho bay while others lire allowed to remain nnd carry nn the oyster trade to San Frauoiscn w ith impunity 7 Does it not look ns if there was personal interest in tho mailer 1 And now, citizens of Oregon, will yitt ft.ii.d these impositions longer nnd tameiy submit to having the wool pulled over vonrryea and your pockets fleeced, or will yon look about you anil make an effort to throw off I lie yoke which has so long home grievously upon yon 7 If this new- channel of commerce was opened, citizen nf this valley instead of paying from 80 to J 10 per ton freight no imported goods, of which a largo amount is consumed, might get them fur nuu-linlf that amount, or perhaps less. Tlio accomplishment of this plan will infuse new life and vigor into nil departments of trade aud stimulate to industry and enter prise (whicli arc the real capitnl) the bone and sinew of thu country, nnd tatting prosperity will dawn on our young State.

Stewart have been elected to represent the young Stato of Nevada in the United State Senate. The Sacramento Union speaks of the clioico ns fol lows " From the Nevada Senntors, who will ex ercise so important an influence in the affairs of California ns well as their own State, wo have no reason to expect other than nn enlight ened, faithful and impartial discharge nf duty. Stewart is n ynung man. probably under forty years nf nge, and though a resident of Cali fnrnla for some ten years before his emigration to Nevada, never held any ollice except that of Delegate in the first Constitutional Convention in the latter State. Ilia experience and suc cess, hnwover, ns a lawyer has been considera ble, having had a very largo practioe in No vaih, from which it is understood ho has accu mulated a large fortune. He is represented to he a man of great industry, and of a positive and independent temper. He has a oareer be fore him in which these qualities may be made to redound to his own honor nnd the 'Jvautngo of m constituents. Stewart is ol democrntio antecedents of tho li 'eckiuridge order, but since joining I he Union party has adhered to it through evil and good report, without vari ableness or shadow nf turning. Ex-Governor Nye is nn older man, of fifty or thereabouts, and of considerable experience as a politician, of good address, and a popular orator. He was appointed Governor nf Nevada Territory by President Lincoln, ut the time of its first organization, nnd held the appointment until he nnd his Territory wero both ousted by the new State, That he was a popular officer, mid gave a satisfactory account of his steward ship may bo fairly interred from the late honor bestowed upon Mm. Although of demncratio antecedents, a long time back, lie is a Repub lican of tho straighteet sect. He ia a unlive nf New York, and was aiming the earliest of lhoe who rebelled against the slave power domina tion nf the ilenincriitio party. Ho was a mem ber of the llulfalo Convention, which nominat ed Van Huron for the Presidency in 184c). He supported Fremont in 1830, and from thence to the present time, has been a zealous nnd ef ficient laborer in the cause of freo principles. Since Governor Nyu's residence on Ike Pacific court, he has won the favorable opinion of the people nf California as well as ol his own State, and the intelligence of his election will ho received by the Union pnrty here with sat isfaction. Nevada hus done well in tho choice of her Senators, nnd will he well and ably rep resented by tlium in the national Congress. CALIFORNIA AM) OREG0.W The following Interesting statistics iu refer ence tn the vote and population of California nnd Oregon we clip from un nrticle in the Stockton Independent i "Tho ratio of increase in California for the decade between I3o0 and 'GO was 2911 per cent.; in Oregon, 1)01). As early as the Pesi dentiul election nf 1832 California polled 74. 7:j(i vole, just 100 being Hepnlilioan ! In 18,6 we polled 110.221 vote's SO.tiDl being Repub lican.

Her total vole in 1800 was 14,227 less than one vote to eight in Cal ifornia. The ratio of voters to total population in this State was as 1 is to Hi (nearly); in Or egou as 1 is In 3.7 (nearly); showing a greater proportion nf women and children iu Oregon than in California. The Indian population of Oregon was 7,000: of California, 13.000. in r. und uiiinher. The negro population of Cul ifornin was 4,030; Oregon, 128. California had 50.000 Chinese ; Oregon, none reported. The area of California is 183.000 square miles; of Oreg 95.274. This Statu iu 18G0 was nearly twice as densely inhabited na Oregon. Since that time we havo been gradually los ing. Oregon rapidly gaining in population. She has gained about 5.000 votes sinco 18G0, and by the ratio of voters tn population, she ha added 20,720 to her population, nearly ull nf whom must be whites, inasmuch as Indians do never increase as civilization advances, aud Chinnaion have not yet become a feature in Oregon liibor.

The distillers nf the northwestern States have lately held a conven tion at Chicago, at which a protective society was formed under the title of the Distillers' Association of the Northwest.

The treaty still needs ratifi cation by the Danish ltigsrand, but no one uoiiht that tins ratification wilt he given, and that thus the cause of the long feud between Danes an I Germans will bo permanently re moved. The detail nf the treaty do not materials differ from the articles of the preliminary peace which was agreed upon by the belligerant pow ers several months ago.

OREGON, MONDAY, JANUARY 2, 1864. THE BIM1' DEMOCRACY. The sorcheaded politicians the rump of the old defunot democratic) party the people who believo that slaveholders' right are superior nnd anterior to the rights and honor of the government are terribly exercised about the people losing their rights. They express im minent danger to white men's rights and priv ileges through the medium by which individual rights may be meted to others. Universal free dom in the Uuited Stales, in their minds would bo tantamount to the destruction of the government and the transformation of republicans into Monarchists, A step toward greater freedom is Interpreted to be a retrogta dntion from freedom. This is peonli irly copper head Icgio. No man but an unmitigated and unchanging "democrat" reasons danger to the republic from such a policy. No one lint a copperhead can comprehend such paradoxical results from such causes. Ij arise and owes its origin from that antediluvian opaqueness constitutional in the organization of that peo ple, and can only ho obliterated through the "naturalization" mid "acclimation" ol one gen eraliou of a people into another. We do not kisiw, nor nny one else, what may come out of lllis war, because its duration is uncertain. If oa.tinusd loug it ir reasona ble tu anticipate that it will be the end of sla very, lint in no event can we comprehend thu destruction of our republican form of gov ernment. How reconstruction is to bo brought about is purely a question of the future. When thi war is over, this mutter will cuter into the political arena. If the war ends near the close of the second administration of Lincoln, re ooiisiructioii will hu the great political questiini iu the election of 1808. How tho States shull come back into tlio Union, what punishment shall be meted to rebels, uud what shall be come of rebel lauds, nro political questions arising nt thu close of the war. Hut there is no question nhnut the form of our government. It must reinuin republican. The Constitution will likely undergo some changes. If the war continues, it is quite probable that the only clause recognizing slavery will he stricken out. and chattel slavery forever prohibited. But that thero nre the least signs indicating a change of the republican status is a great bug uhoo, and only promulgate I to frizhtcu old fogies. It is the last tune on "the Tiarp of a thousand strings." Copperhead politicians nre thumbing away at this, though it produces hor rid discord. Hut it is a lust resort. The cop. perheiid parly has gone to the devil, uud its pnrtizane would drug the, country after it. We protest uud insist upon tho demise of the cup iierhead iiirty and the lifo of tho republic Let tho copperhead party bo decently interred and llie grumblers seek some other vocation than office hunting. The loyal puoplo will tuko good euro of tho country.' Those true to tho government, carrying it safely through tho slorin and clear the breakers, will gain wisdom nnd strength to guide the ntfuirs of State the nioi'u safely lifter the storm subside. Traitors have only to fear just punishment. Thank God they have not tho administration of the government. Had they gained power, those truest to tho country would have been nssigned :o disgrace and relirncy. The Vulhiudig hams, Woods, Seymours, el homo genus would have been dubbed patriots, and the Dickinsoue, Huth-r, Dixes, nnd oilier true democrats, would have been declared the trai tors. Ji-IL Davis amnesty bills would have disgraced tho records of Congress, and all the rebel thieves would have been invited back to Washington to renew their work ol plundering the Federal treasury. The people havo in structed the coining administration in a double duty put down this hellish rebellion uud pun ish Ihn leading rebels. Doth these duties are incumbent npon the Lincoln Administration, and the work will he successfully accomplished under our republican Couttituiion. Thu gov ernment cannot he endangered iu meting out justice to the villiiins who inaugurated this war. Marysville Appeal. Sosib ok Tin: Tka not Tiiimwn Ovkii Iioard.
