All this la mere assertion, and we ahull no nrnreed to show from the bent official and authentic aiithorltlea that It is the Slatetman, and not us, irho is mistaken. Mate Righti Democrat. There li nothing to liable to mislead the mind at the indiscriminate use of general termi nr general names. When we say that Well ington and Madison did not behove the United States Oovernmont lo he it " Fvdornl or leagued frovernmont," we desire la he understood that I bey did not believe that it wu a mere league between State Independent of the general head, but that they did believe that it was a National Government in the tense that it acted directly open tlie w hole people of all the Stntei i f the Union, and directly upon eaoh individ ual of any luch Slate, in the matter which til Constitution had committed to it care and . enforcement, We apprehend that there will be no differ i ooe between the editor of the Democrat and (lie Staltman a In Ihn preeiie point in Issue, nt we understand him to favor the resolution of 1798 and 1799. In their entire extent, and to hold the position that the States are independ ent tovereignties, and that the Government of tha United Stntui it but a league between I hero sovereignties, at inch, and not a government having direct relation! and connection! with tht people of the several Stale, Wa think that both Washington and Madison have given their testimony in favor of the posi tion we have wore minutely staled above, and again! tilt, position of tlie Democrat, aa so dated, without reference to the use of such general term ni " Federal," " National " or " General " Government. Ai to the view of Washington, wo take the following extract from his official letter a Pres ident of the Constitutional Convention, dirroted , In tlie "Preiident of the Congress." which accompanied the Constitution after it lind been duly tigned, and dated Sept, 17, 1787. (Pogo 225. vol. 2. Dr. Spencer's History.) ' In all our deliberations mi this mit,ji-l (the Oiintl I itlon we kept sttwbly In view that which appears to ii lh- urtistert interest of every true A nici lean, the con solidation til our Union, In which fa Involved our prns pertty, felicity, salety, perhaps oiirnnlioiiid existence." The letter from which wo take this extract wu drawn' up by Washington himself, a few il.iya before the close of the Convention, as it President, waa adopted by the Convention, of wbioh Mudisou win a member, and signed and published by Washington, as the chief officer of the. Convention, by authority of the Conven tion. Wo doubt much if stronger testimony noold be produced, aa the letter not only do clires tht idea of a consolidated National Gov cromrut of the people, bat it usee the very word " national." It deolarea the contotida lion of tht Union " to bo the greateit inter ttl of every true American." He refer to per nios, the people, " every true American," when expressing this idea, and rays nothing of the States. We, tho people," i the language of tha Conititutinn which Washington and Madi son bellied form i lint tha iovr,.innii- ,r il,. ' B J Slates " ii the language of that slave-code Con ititotion formed by Jefferson Davis. The Democrat quotea the following from Wasblngtou's Farewell Address : " Thwe eiilm-led with IU admiiiUtnitlnii I "irhi to eoiiliiw themselves within their respective i"usiilntioiial sphvrra. avoiding, in Uieeierriw ul the Int-versof one department, to eiicroacli iihii another. T" tplirV "f eticinachiiM-iit tends to ronilulKie ll.e pisrersnf ill the departments in one, and Hum tu creek-, whatever the foriu of government, a real despot ism." We fail to see any connection between it and tha question under discussion. It Is simply advisory to those administering the different departments of the United States Government to attend to their own departments, but it raises no quest between the General Government and the local Stole Governments. We take the following from the same, address, which does bear on the subject under discus sion "The unity of government which con a itntef you one people, ia also now dear to yon." Wa direct particular attention lo the words, " amity of government " and " one peo ple." Again, Iroio the same StMn-ss: "To the sflioacy and permanency of your Uuion, a government for the whole is indisensable. No alliance, however strict, between ihvt parts can be an adequate substitute." Alliance and an J league are synonymous terms when applied In nations ; and in tlila extract Washington flatly repudiate! the Vemocral'i opinion, by saying No league, however, strict," will do. If stronger or moro solemn words than are con tained in this ever venerated Farewell Addresa vura needed to convey to posterity the stead last aud unfaltering devotion of the Father of kit Country to tha great principle, that Hie Government of the I'uiled States it one formed by the people and for the peopU, and not by tha Btales, It it contained iu lib last speech to the National Con,; res, uu the 7lli ( Decent bur. 1790.

These are Madlson't vords, lint they do not reach the question i tliey do not shy who it Is that delegates the power ; they do not nniwer the qneetion. whether it I the people or the State! that form tho General Government. Here Is the opening paragraph of thnt ame 45th No., and it dnea licnr upon Hie question t " Ramming the Hiihect of tlie Iut paper.

The Democrat quote several pnrngrnpli from the 38th No. nf tho Federalist (written by Mndison), to show that the people did form the General Government, hut funned it a cit izensof Independent Suites, He said that such wai the view In one relation to the States ; but in the very same number, a little further along than tho .Democrat 'dared quote, Mndison uses tho following language : 8o far the National uniinlcriiiiicc of the ftoveniinent on Hits slile seeina to he disfigured by a few l'Vileral feiitures.

Madison calls these federal or league features " blemishes." But tha most authoritative statement ever made by James M allium on the point at issue is made in Ilia celebrated letter to Kdwaril Everett, dated August, 1830, on the subject of nullification. If o commences that letter hy referring to the resolutions of 1708 and 17119, and then speak ing uf the Constitution of the United Stales, snys t It whs formed, not by the. uorenimentu of the com ponent AYocs.as 'he i-edeiiil (iovcrninent (toe old t'ollledchillolll. for trhirt it wvot tulmtttntM, formed.

And win n he enyi that the Constitution tvus funned " by the States," we are compelled lo believe that he referred to the mere ninchinery through which the people expressed their voice, mid not to the contracting parties. All oilier views, save the one we have affirmed, are negatived hy Mndison, when be declare in this letter that " the Constitution was formed, not hy the Gov ernmenb of tho component States," as was the old Confederation, "for which " thu new Gov. eminent " was tubtlituted."

This one ami forty dodge don't amount to a good jnko. It It simply a Copperhead force with no more of dignity, sense or propriety than the Cfiineee trick of making a great sound upon gongs and drums tn impress the uppus liuu with the idea of strength. It it nothing inure than an open confession of weakness, wnut of uusnimity, and worse iban nl.wnnt nf correct principles or a safe platform. Il is exactly the same dodge that the Democracy tried Inst Fall in Ohio ami New York. An immense Convention, with great sound and im mense parade, and in the noise, blurler and contusion, everything like an open avowal of political principle! waa "suinuged," and a airing nf wishy-washy, meaningless resolutions were hurried through, and sent nut In the world to deceive Voters, The Oregon Democracy In tend to try the same trick to deceive the people of Oregon, They will make a great noise, beat Ibeir wheeiy nld Democratic drums, have a street parade, doubtless, wave their "yaller liMiilaiiner " In the breeie, aud whistle tn keep their courage op, tn the tune of ' Anything y tm please, fonlU-nieii; anything fur roles."

Orr, nf South Carolina, In hi inaugu ral niMresi, expresses n hope that Congress will see fit, at some future day, lo mnlie provision for the compensation of tjioso whoso slaves were emancipated by the war. Thu Legisla ture of Virginia has ordered a statement to be prepared, giving the number of slave lost or emancipated in each county of tho State, with the view of presenting aclninitoCongresstliere for. It l also ascertained and believed that the unrcpeiitiiig rebels in tlio South liuvo been carefully preserving the evidence of the Indebt edness of each of their several States, incurred to sustain and promote Hie rebellion. If any chanco is left In the world, this great muss of debts and slave losses will hereafter be niado the capital Kock of the political corporation known as the democratic party. Share of this stock will ho distributed among lending North ern democrat ouil democratic newepnpcri.and in every otli?r plnco where iti possible in that way to procure influence and votes to restore the democratic- party to power and the control of tho national government. If the scheme can he made to work, and the people of tlie United State can be deceived, cnjoled. or bul lied into the support of the democratic party, so that it shall have a democratic President and a democratic Congress, this niountiiin of lns and Indebteness mimed above, Incurred by tlio truiton of the Smith, will then bo brought bo- fore that democratio Congress, nnd it will be funded and paid with the interest bearing bonds of the United State, and our national indebtedness inoreased from the three thousand millions inclined to put down these triiiti rs, to not less than twenty thousand millions, virtu- lly paying sixteen or seventeen thousand mil- inns of dollars to the traitors for getting up a rebellion and fur murdering throe liumlred thousand Union men. It will tnlio several years In accomplish this scheme ; but the signs of tho times all indicate tliut the democracy of tho South aided by their sympathizers in the North, have resolved lo accomplish it. if possi ble. To prevent any such a dire calamity as that, a calamity which would more certainly and forever destroy the nation than eny milila ry force which tlio democracy could ever hopo to muster, every Union man must stand faith fully and steadfastly to hi post of duty. Re sist tlie enemy at every point. Hepulso him nt every overture. nnil wage ceaseless war upon him until he disbands his urmy forever. To prevent the payment nf the rob ! war lit or any portion thereof by tho United Slates, Mr. Wilson, of Iowa has proposed the following aim-ndiiii'iit to ilie Constitution of the United States s lie It Ileaolved hv the Hemiie anil House of Kcnre- seutHiives, two thirds of each house concurring there in, that loo lollowltig article lie proposed tn tlie Legis latures of tlie several (slates us an amendment to ibe constitution, which, when riililh'd hy three fom-ilis of sold legmliilnres. slintl he valid to nil mlenta anil pur poses as n part of said Constitution i Anrici.K t itt ttx, llioy. or noptiet eoiin ot u. nor shell any appropriation of money he umile. ei'hor Ii V the I'llileii SlHtes (tr any one thereof, for tlie pur pose of paying, cither in whole -or in part, any debt, eoutri.el or liability, whatever, incurred, iiiaile or snf ft-t-od lit- iiiiv nun ne more of the Stales, or the ncotite thereof, for the piirit'tmi of aiding Ibe rebellion tiguiiist the constitution uotl lows oi the United Slates. The vole on this measure iu tho House was: Ayes, HO; Nays, 11. The names ol the above demiHirnts who wanted to help pay the rebel wnr debt, nnd pay the rebels for their treason able effort In destroy the nation are ns follows : Itrooks, He-unison, Kldrhtge, Oiidt-r. Hording, of Kentucky, Mel'ulhtiith, Nicholson, Ititter, Hogei-s, bliiliikhu and Trimble. Let Union men remember those names, and we will see whether any ileinocriiiio paper ever denounces their voto on this measure. To prevent tho payment of nny claim for losses hy the emancipation nf slaves, hy nny possible future democratic administration, Sen ator Williams, of iiur own Stale, has proposed nil amendment tn the Constitution, in terms similar lo the nlmve, forever prohibiting the L ulled Stales from paving for any slaves emancipated by the wnr, during tho war, or by any proclamation or public law ; and prohibit ing Congress fr making any appropriations, or any Stain Legislature mailing nny appropri ations, or levying any taxi or imposts, to pay for the loss hy any such emancipated slaves. (Our txcliaugo containing Senutor Williams proposition Tins been mislaid, or we would give his own wi rds.) We want to see both of these amendments put in the Constitution of the United Stales, before a single si-ceded State is again admitted to the floors of Congress. We can pnoMire no indemnity fur Ilie past, although it would be but simple justice to the Union, but in the name of 11 oil, humanity, and I lie peaceful pre servation ol our righi and liberties, let us ex act eecurity for the future. One word mure. We labored earnestly, ns evvrybndy knows, to prevent tlie lute special session, for tho reason that, first, tlie vote of Oregon would nut lie needed to decide tlie fate of the Coiistitutiunul amendment abolishing slavery and, si-coud.it would be but a reusing- aide, justifiable and very just parly polmy to keep the question before I be people, and thus compel thu democratic party to defend slavery, and drive it into hopeless ruin. Here are twn other amendments, vitally affecting the future peace and prosperity of our country. Let ns make them party issues, and compel tlie treason sympathizing democratio party in Oregon tn oppose them. Let us drive them on lo their own real ground, nnd then appeal tu the people to sustain the light. A !tt'K M I S Wako. Charles F.

The Government or the United States having Incurred a large ili-lit to suppress Ilie rebelli it will become a question of tho highest flnnn ciul importance Imw Congress cull best promote tin nrosneritv of tho coiintrv, and commence the task of relieving the nation of Its debt. Free trade has been and I) yet an old Demo cratic hobby, but a very grave error. The his tory of the world tenches that lh " free trad ing" nations, where they practiced real " free trade," have always grown poorer. If we would prosper as it nation, if we would adopt that policy which will must benefit the laboring man. we must protect home manufacture and encourage home industry. We are decidedly in favor of a tariff for pro tection. And when we say this, we mean a tariff th.it ia reasonable and adapted tn the cu ntw.irio and e.iroo instances of the country. We can manufacture all kinds ol' woolen, cotton and flax goods, all kinds of iron nnd hardware, cutlery, oopperwaie, etc, JiHt as cheaply and just us well in the United States as they can be mnnulactarcd in foreign countries. If wo have not yet got tho mechanics and manufacturers, or enough of them, it is plainly our duty ni a nation to adopt snub legislation as will induce them to ooiiiu tu this oountry with their fatiii lie, their labor and their wealth. We would 'tot favor a la that would compel Oregon to lieu its own tea mid coffee, or do without them, t pay such price! as would render the con st. t ption ol such article an impossibility with tilt day-laborer. That mould be plainly un- ren liable, as Oregou can raise neither tea nor coflec, and catuint therefore in any way com pete with foreign countries in such articles. We would not favor a law that would compel tho ladies to do without their fi no furs nod feathers, which come from Russia, and Arabia, but we would tux llit-in very heavily us articles of mere luxury. The true rule- is to protect tlie production and manufacture nt home of all those articles which we can as reasonably and cheaply produce as foreign countries, having due regard to tlie oust ol transportation between coutittlcs, With the farmer, the vital question is, where can I buy the most iron, or the most cloth, or the most coffee, with my crop of wheat, or my crop of wool t ii nd not. where can I buy the t of thesit articles fur so many dollars in gold ? If the farmer buys with money, lie most first convert his crop into money. If he has no home market, ho must send it ulironil to find a market; and when ho ships it out of his own oountry, it always goes to the manufacturing townsbis cotton nnu wool lo I lie nianntneture and his Hour and bacon to tho operatives. The funnel' loses tho cost of thu transportation, am ngain lie is compelled to pay the cost of trans porting the niniiiifiictured niliclo hack to him. Now both these losses in transportation would bo avoided if n proper tariff protected nnd en couraged inuniifiictiiros at home. If we hire our manufacturing done in England, we mnst send the bread there to support the operative, .mil pay him fur hi labor. And between the man who raises hreud in the United States and the mail who eats in England there is n vast army of commission men, common carriers, brokers, shippers, etc., all of whom must be paid for the mere business nf tnking the pro- luots of ime nun's labor and giving it to the , ,i i.- ..... .t .i... oilier; ami nicy uu mane inoin-y out tu un man who is separated from his consumer, and tn Ilie extent of their wages Ihey make the pro ducer poorer. Free trade between the innii who raises oorn in Il.innie, nod the man who makes spades in England is but a cunning de vice tu keep bntli min poor ns long as tliey do business that fur nwuy from each other. The great advantages to be derived from en cnurnglng home manufactures uriso from the facts Hint such legislation keeps tho profits and products of our own industry at home, and accu mulate! and invests it in new towns and cities, and in productive farms nnd factories. It abol ishes Hie losses cuusrmieiit on expensive trans portation, and the wages of thousands of mere middle men.

En. 8TATKMMN: Tlio assembling of Congress, and its probable action upon important measures, was anticipated with a great deal of interest ill nil circles, but Its session so far lias been charac terized by no other act so important as deferring admission to members elect from the lately seced ed States. It is an established fact now that ' reconstruction," so long anticipated, will bo ac complished In such a way thnt no future misun derstanding can arise, and tlio Stntos Hint nre being reconstructed are kept out In the cold, no doubt, from Ibe good intention that the Union henceforth shall bo without flaw. While prudent men recognize the necessity of caution, thern are many who desire that reconstruction shall bo thorough, ample, and speedy. Many earnest Union men view without fear the return nf tho South to full participation in government affairs, n i id question if such a course is not necessary to that national cordiality all parties desire. After the holidays, work will commotion in earnest, aim until then, nothing will be accomplished. Vor onarlv a month nast the health of General Hooker hna'been hitil. and different rumors have prevailed that, he bud suffered from strokes of paralysis and from attacks of congestion of the brain.

It is to bo hoped thnt his indisposi tion is but temporary. New York has experienced its Thanksgiving, ami is imw preparing for Christmas. The Presi dent's prnclainHtiou secured a general observance of the seventh day of December. I bad the good fortune to visit tho government hnspitnla at David's Island, on the occasion of a dinner given to the inmates tbo last day of November, by the ladies of New York. This was intended as a Thanksgiving occasion for tho wounded men, for wfiom the ladies of this city bavj-ever felt and manifested the most sincere sympathy. David's Island is about fifteen miles no the East river. The last of November was a delightful, clear day, and we sailed on a government steamer pro vided for the occasion, past tho cities of Now York and Brooklyn, Blnckwcll's Island, and the beautiful islonds'uud shores beyond, some parts of which were frowning with fortifications. Our course was through Hurl Gate, beyond which lay David's Island, with its extensive hospital build ings. It was interesting to one who had not soon tho war in its actual progress, to visit such n place rs this, and converse wilh the Bick nnd maimed soldiers, representing ns they did every branch of the service, men who had rodo with Sheridan, marched with Sherman, or helped Grant hem in Vicksburg. Ono or two wards were devoted to colored soldiers, among whom were free negroes from the North and former bIiivds from Louisiana or South Carolina. Some of tltu.se ux-slavea wero very intelligent. One young fellow, whose loft nrni had boon permanently invested in Uncle Sam's service, expressed himself as intending to go back to Louisiana and toncn inem cinieti peoplo tho necessity to work to he happy." Tlio follow seemed in earnest about it, anil seemed to fully comprehend the fact thnt tlie negroes would bo often unwilling to work. The day passed pleasantly, and the invalids wero treated to a geiiiiinn thanksgiving dinner, turkey, pumpkin-pie, and all. The ladies nf New York have, some of them, done noble work in its hnspitnla - There was n genuine Thanksgiving in Con necticut that offered a seat to your correspondent, where ho enjoyed ono of those pleasant reunions of families peculiar to New England on tho re curreiice of its annual festivals.

There is an almost universal itching in the public, mind for a chance to pay back sonio recent obligations incurred to ward thoso to "friendly'' powers. They both know by Ibis timtithat while our Government is striving to preserve, if possible, friendly relations abroad, the American peoplo nre willing to have a brush with either of them. Peace is necessary to us, of course, hut it is astonishing to the w orld to sec America come out of such a conflict in such nn independent stat" of mind. By the by, the position ttf affairs has taught a lesson to some folks near.-r home. . Tho Inst steamer brought several Oregonians.

It really is a pity Idaho cannot retain Judge M'Biidu iu that position, as he is honest enough to answer the purposo, which is saying much. 1 hear from there that the I'll ionisis have made it up wilh this " peace demo crat" to run together, but I am hardly nb'o to believe it. The man is nil atrocious copperhead, in tlie most extended meaning of the term. After cursing Lincoln while he lived, they now say tie is I lie candidate of many Lincoln men for this po sition. It is quite consoling to know that Judge Williams doea not look at the matter iu that light. Congress has a bill before it for tbs salo of ibe minernt lauds, and the matter is to receive great attention. Any legislation relating to Ibis nialter is uf the utmost importance, and though there is a great disposition to increase the roveime by noy and every reasonable means, still it is doubtful if any action can be had on the matter against the united protest of all the mineral-bearing .States and Territories. I am inclined to think matters ,will remniii much at they are. Speaking of mines, very little is doing here in tlio way uf soiling mining property. New York city is Hooded with mines for sale, and only a few of lite most important receive any consideration. Owyhee is probably the favorite region, especially in tho light ot new discoveries, but people now nre determined tu wait for returns from compa nies aires ,1y at woik there, before they proceed to greater investment. The general opinion seems lo be that dividends should bs received from Ilie mills now in operation, before more mo ney is invested. Should the next season allow success in mining operations, (here will be a rush for mining property equal to anything ill the pe troleum line. But petroleum has been a humbug. One good ctiomaiiv has been counterbalanced by at least a doxon bogus ones, and these speculators can ruin anything ihey attempt, in lime, aud not a very long time either.

There being democrats who by misrepresenta tion attempt tu fasten upon tlio Uuion or Ko publican party, tlio inaugurating the late rebel lion, uu Investigation of tlie fact will prove the falsity of such charges. I maintain that the democratic parly is responsible for the wnr. and from all tlio consequence resulting from and attending it. and also for tho vast expend iture of blind ami treasure which has become necessary to bring it tn a suocesslnl end. And hud the democratic party controlled thu desti nies of tho country for tho last four or five years, to-day the world would' have witnessed a. dissevered Union, with, in nil prnbability, military chieftains ruling with au iron hand ft once united uric happy people. For many years disunion had been a leading idea ot the southern uoiiinurnuy. At uuaries ton that idea was sought to he made an nuoom nlished fact, and the proceeding of thnt con veutinn prove conclusively that disunion win the only end and, aim ot the Southern democ racy.

John C. Breckinridge, Ilie nominee 'f fac tion, in a speech "t Frankfort, Ky., in ISlif), said i "Tlie deinocialic party was a good thing in itself, hut tin y were not to rely upon the democratic party, or any party. The South must rely upon its own strong arm and be pre pared for any nnd every emergency." I will give the winds of another prominent democrat: "It is the fault uf the ncmnorutio party, In dodging the truth, in dodging princi ple, in dodging tlio constitution itself, that has brought tho trouble upon the country and the party that is experienced to-day." Those words wero spoken by the lion. Jo seph Lane, on the floor of the United States Senate ill I860. All will admit that Gen Lane has been an experienced leader ill the democratic party, nnd his utterances wilh ref erence to that parly have always met with a li en it y response in tho minds of the Oregon ilemuoriicr, and I hopo he will not be rend out of the party forgiving expression to the above sentiment. I will give one extract from it democratic speech which will givo democrats a text for a sermon on the origin of the war. and Lincoln's ununiistitulioiiiil acts ; nnd I commend it tn their careful perusal. Mr. Keilt, of South Carolina, said to the democracy, "Ta!:o your destinies iu your bands, and shatter tins ac cursed Union. South Carolina cun do it alone but if she cannot she can nt least throw her arms around the pillars of tho constitution and involve all tho Stales in a common ruin." Tho foregoing extracts are but as a (Imp in tlie ocean, compared with the prools that might bo adduced, tu fasten upon the democrntio party its complicity with the rebellion that litis brought so much woe nnd misery upon us ; aud now should they attain tn power, should they gain the ascendency in tlie administration of government affairs, what should be expected of Mint party, after having given enunciation to the principles contained in the foregoing ex tracts from their leaders? Now, Mr. Editor, being satisfied that tho democratic party hus accepted the motto, "My parly, right or wrong, thick and thin, the whole ling, frmn snout to tail, including tho hair, hoofs, nnd the entire animal j" I prefer to vote for men w ho have stood by their country in it time ot peril.
