enlinii! submission to their General Government

a Constitution for the United States, and of amend

ernmert ccrtaiu definite powers, reserving, each
State t j itself, tho residuary mass of right to their
self-gorcrnmcnt; and that whenever the General
G overt mcnt ajsumes undelegated power, its acts
re unauthoritative, void, and of no force that to
this conpact each State acoeded as a State, and is
an integral party,-its co-States forming, as to it
self, lbs other party ; that the Government creat

or final judge of the extent of the powers delegated
to itselj since that would have made its discretion,
and not the Constitution, the measure of its pow

RUSSIAN-ASIEniCA.
The Russian Treaty has been ratified
by the Senate, only two dissenting; and
it has been telegraphed to the Emperor
of Ruasia at a cost of $9,500 j and it is
understood that a formal assent froni tho
Emperor has been received.- Tho conti
nental area of Russian-America comprises
over thirty-eight thousand square miles.
The Alutian Island will probably increase
this to 40,000. The United States is to
pay S7;200,O00 in gold at the Treasury
Department, within ten months after the
exchange of ratifications. These must
be exchanged before Juno SOth, or the
treaty tails. ; .
For one we ate glad that this treaty
has been made. . We ar glad that Russian-America
is about to become the prop
erty of the United States. It is one step
towards the realization of a favorito theo
ry ortcnet of oursan Ocean Bound Re
public, For fifteen years past we have
held that the entire North American con
tinent, from the Arctic Ocean to the Isth
mus, should be under the dominion of the
Americ in people. And no good reason
can be given why. the Sandwich Islands
should net be annexed. They more nat
urally bolong to us than any other nation j
and sooner or later, they, as well as Cuba,
and oth3r Islands in the Gulf of Mexico,
will be gobbled np by the enterprising,
ever-restless, far-reaching, American peo
ple. ' The acquisition of Canada, and
British America, is only a question of
time. We are bound to have the whole.
The -Aracrican Eagle will yet proudly
flap his wings over the entire continent,
from tho open ocean which "Kane discov
ered, to the Oceanic Canal which .will
soon be cut across the Isthmus. We . al
ways feel like crowing whenever we are
on this theme our waistband ever
loose--has to be expanded. It may be
asked, of what account is Russian-America?
Much, every way. Its waters con
stitute seme cf the finest fishing grounds,
which, when fully developed by American
genius and enterprise, will prove to be
invaluable. Its soil, though riot tho
richest, produces some of the cereals in
abundance; while the Irish potatoe
grown there much excels that raised in
more southerly latitudes, both in flavor
and quantity. We have no doubt, :also,
that it is rich in silver and gold, and oth
er valuable productions. Another con
sideration is, that by this movement we
flank the British. '- When the American
people get a foothold in Russian-America,
the British will be subjected to a fire in
flank .and rear; and as no one, thus situ
ated, ever held out long, we may reasona
bly expect that Great Britain will soon
offer to sell' us : her ; Possessions on the
most reasonable of terms. ' - : -r . .
Three cheers and a tiger, for Russian
America ! ' : ...
Revivals. An opinion is abroad in
Albany, we' are told, that we are hos
tile to revivals of religion. - Some have
inferred this- because we published, and
endorsed, on the Gth inst, an article from
the Portland Herald,-entitled : "Religi
ous Excitement" ' How any honest, sen
sible' person can draw such a conclusion
from such premises, we are at a 'loss ; to
determine. The only thing condemned
by the. Herald, in the religious revival
then in progress in Portland was -this :
"Men and women, -crazed with religious
enthusiast), making a public confession of
their secret sins." We regard this as an
abuse.whioh siouldbe corrected;, but it
idoes not tfc erefore follow that we are op
posed to rcyiv'al3'of religion,' or ''that we
are hostile to Rev.' Mir. Earle ar any other
revivalist. We favor any person, or any
thing which, in our judgment, will make
mankind better hence wo; favor religi
ous revivals, though; they are not always
free of abuses and imperfections. J -,

IMPEACHMENT OP JOHNSON.
' The Radicals have not by any means
Relinquished the idea of impeaching
President Johnson? Their Committee is
still busy hunting up something that will
convict him when brought to trial. Of
courso their plans aro kept as still as pos
sible. But one may, perhaps, gather
something from John W. Forney who,
since tho war, has been among tho most
rabid of Radicals. lie ' says J that the
President's gross violations of official pro
priety in "swinging" Around tho circlo,"
denouncing Congress, ought to secure his
impeachment. Ilisrepcatod violent denun
ciations of tho laws of tho land, which it was
his duty to carry into effect, as unconstitu
tional, attempting to excito tho angry pas
sions of the lnultitudo against them, was
an impeachable misdemeanor! His abuse
of; tho pardoning powor and of tho ap
pointing powerj aro impcachablo -misdemeanors.
His shameless avowal that ho
"would veto tho measures of Congress
whenever they camo before him," wheth
er meant or not, was an impeachable mis
demeanor. Ills abuse of the prerogative
of " Veto" is an impcachablo misdemean
or. Hts attempting to prevent the elec
tion of a Senator in New Jersey, in Stock
ton's place ; his efforts to prevent the
adoption of the constitutional amendment,
together with a catalogue too numerous to
name of other misdemeanors,' were all
impeachable. :. ;, ,
So says Forney ; and wo havo no doubt
ho speaks by the card. A pretty list' of
charges, truly. Every other President
beforo him has substantially been guilty
of the same offences ; and were it any oth
er Congress we should havo no fears; but
they have it in their hearts to attempt to
do anything unlawful, - unconstitutional
and revolutionary. -
; New3Ii.es on "40" Creek. Tho
Oregon Herald says that the news from
Creek 49 is of the most encouraging
order, and great excitement prevails
among the miners and business men as to
their future prospects. The existence of
rich and ' extensive mines is confirmed,
and it is hard to say of what extent the
diggings are. Numerous letters received
from that point, and the arrival of men
who went there a few weeks since for the
express purpose of ascertaining the truth
of , the reports, all agree that tho mines
will pay from $12 to $18 per day to the
man ; .though in many places much bet
ter, that is believed tc be an average, as
far as prospected up and down the creek.
These mines are very easily worked but
little stripping, from eight to twelve fect
to the bed-rock, nearly all of which is
pay dirt, though the nearer the bed-rock
the better the prospect! All the work
that ' has been done so far is on the
bars along the creek, though one man
who came from there a few days since
gives it as his opinion that the bench
diggings will prove much better than the
creek. There has been iwo other creeks
discovered near by that prospect nearly
as good as 49, though no work has been
done on them as yet. About twenty men
wintered in the mines, and about seventy
started during the "last ten days, and
many others are preparing for a start. -Nearly
every man in the valley whoso
business is such that he caa go, has ei
ther gone or is making preparations to go.
These mines are much more extensive
than was at first thought. There has al
ready been good prospects found over
sufficient ground for at least' fifteen hun
dred claims, some state inore. (This is
one creek.) The gold is rather coarse,
and about the quality . of Kootenai gold.
These mines have a great advantage over
many other new mining earn pa, from the
fact of their easy access, and being easily
worked. ;. - . .
Judge McCoy. We learn that J, F.
MeCoy is again before tho people of the
city of Portland, as a People's .candidate
for; the office of City Recorder, at the
forthcoming June election-fan office to
which he was -elected and filled, three
terms, with marked ability and honor.-
We knew the Judge before he moved to
Oregon,1 and testify, that he is deserving
of the ofSce ; .and it is to be hoped that
the good citizens of Portland will 'sub
serve their own interests by again eecu

Dread ; RETHiBUTioN-During the
war a Democratic editor in Dayton, Ohio,
Bollmeyer, was murdered by an Abolition

Connecticut Democratic- Platform
j The following is, the platform , upon
which i tho Democracy of Connecticut
fought and gained their rccont glorious
triumph :
Resolved That thoso lately in insur
rection against tho Federal Government,
having lain down their arms and fully ro
sumcd their duties as citizens of tho Uni
ted States, thcro is no obstacle in tho way
of the harmonious working of our Repub
lican institutions, savo the factious course
of a mutilated Congress, who havo inaug
urated a new revolution, and are deter
mined to rulo tho country, in violation of
the Constitution, and to establish their
wild and fanatical will, as a substitute for
the Union framed by tho fathors of tho
republic.
Resolved, That tho only way in which
peace and concord can be re-established
is by conforming to tho requirements of
the Constitution, and defeating tho radi
cal party, who spurn its provisions, and
imperil the Union by their mad and se
ditious courso.
Resolve That to effect this object wo
solemnly pledge our best and most untir
ing efforts; that tho accomplishment of
this end is tho one grand question now
pending, transcending all others in im
portance and that tno present imminent
perils of the country demand the union of
i . i i .
an conservative ncaris anu nanus, irres
pective of former or present party names,
in a vigorous effort to maintain the Fed
eral Constitution iu its integrity, and se
cure its operation according to tho spirit
and intout of its founders.
Resolved, That tho Radical plan of re
ducing a portion of the United States to
Tcrri ones, of taking from them thoso
rizhta alwavs POSHccd bv them since tho
days of 1770, and of dinfaanchisiog their
people, w so absolutely opposed not only
to the dearest provisions of tho Federal
Constitution, but to every sound idea of
t. 1- -1 I
practical maicamansuip, in so luorougmy
antagonitio to thoso principles ofrescrv
cd rights, and of municipal governments
regulating their own domestic affairs, that
underlie our Republican system, that it
is tbe duty of tho people of Connecticut,
rcgardles of past political divisions, to
pronounce their condemnation of the Had
ical party by electing men who love,
and are determined to preserve, the
American Constitution and the American
Union.
Resolved, That while that portion of
the Representatives of the tales of this
Union, who excluded from the legislative
halls the representatives of ten States, are
laboring to subvert our government, wo
rcjoico in tho fact that tho Supreme Court
oi the United Mates, by iu recent decis
ions in favor of the rights of American
citizens, has proved that that august tri
bunal will perform, without fear or favor,
its high and solemn duties.
Resolved, That our cordial thanks are
due, and arc hereby tendered to Presi
dent Johnson, for his manly course in re
sisting unauthorized legislation and advo
cating the rights of all the States to their
Congressional representation, and that we
will unitedly sustain him in these his just
and patnotio acta.
Resolved, That labor fa the haais of all
the material of prosperity and the great
creator of wealth, and that its interests
should always be favorably regarded by
our legislature; that tho laborer shnAld
have time for mental and moral culture,
and for healthful recreation, and that we
thcrcforo heartily sympathize with the
laboring class in their endeavors to reduce
the legal standard of a day's labor, and de
clare ourselves in favor of making eight
hour j per day a legal day's labor, in all
mechanical aud manufacturing pursuits,
in tba absence of any agreement to the
contrary between contracting parties.
Resolved, That the over-working of chil
dren in factories is an act of cruelty, de
priving them of the proper means of edu
cation, and undermining their health, and
that all employers in factories should be
forbidden under suitable penalties, from
working said children more than eight
hours per day. -
Resolved, That all attempts on the part
of employers to reduce their workmen to a
condition of political slavery by coercing
their votes, should be held up to the exe
cration of freemen, and, if possible, frus
trated by legislative action. ,
Indian Attack. The Boise stage
was attacked by Indians about 11 o'clock
A, il., Monday last, about six miles be
yond Reynold's. Creek, on the road to
Snaka River. William Younger, the dri
ver, was shot before the presence of the
Indians was known. Mr. Rennet seized
the reins and drove for several miles, until
one of the horses was shot; when he,
together with Mr. Pomeroy, cut the hor
ses loose and attempted to escape, bearing
the yet living driver. Younger was un
able to ride, and was left at his request by
the roadside; when relief was obtained,
he was dead. James UUraan was overta
ken and killed within sight of the Snake
River ferry. - A Frenchman by tho name
of Busha, who being on foot, came up
with the stago, was also killed. Mr. Reich
enberg. of the firm of Hyman & Reich
enberg, Pomeroy, and Mr. Bcnnet were
tho only persons that escaped. The num
ber of the Indians was supposed to bo ten
or twelve. ; -
Insane.' Hector Campbell, who has
been working at Smith Bro's has become
insane on the subject of, religious excite
ment, ... lie attended Mr. Earle's meetings
in this city and followed him as far as Sa

his whiskers shaved and his teeth pulled
out in order that his friends might not
recognize him. , He was absent two or

Gkn. CnooK.-Of thw Indian fightor,
the lant Owvhoo Bullion says :
We learn from agentlcman who has been
sojourning somewhere near White Horse
Creek, that Gen. Crook has returned with
the greater part of his command to Camp
Smith. He 'had to endure some very
severe weather, had one Sergeant frozen
to death, and many men badly frostbitten.
Ono scouting party is supposed to be
lost,' as they were out some eight days lon-
gcr than they had rations for, and no
word from them. Capt. Walker had
found a large force of Indiana but ha was
not strong enough to attack them. He
had had a terrible time. He bad to con-
tend with dee? scow and storm fof four-
tccn days, and was now near ine loaiaqs.

Tho usual idea that wet seasons are
unhealthy is contradicted on the authority
of compared mcteorogloical and medical
