Tho Huuso of Represmtatives will contain the maiority of Democrats from the North, and they will admit the Re re'cntatives elected by tho whito people of the South, and with the co-opcrat on of the Pres ident it will not bo d'lCkuil; to compel the Scnato to submit once more to the obligations of tho Constitution. It will not be able to withstand the public judgment, if distinctly invoked and clearly expressed on this fundamental issue, and it is the sure way to avoid all future strife to put the issue plainly to the country. I'ruul: . Hair. REVOLUTION IN E22BRYO. VILLAINY RAMPANT. We are in the midst of a revolution. The :IiaJicaIs have proved themselves to be secessionists, anarchists, vio lators of the law and traitors to Ore gon. Immediately after the House met, on last Monday afternoon, the following Iladical members r signed their seats, viz: Alexander of Ken ton, Applegate, Burnett, Brown, Dav enport, Denny, Rook, (Jazley, Garrett, Hoxtcr, Minto, Pendergast, Simpson, Trullinger, and Taylor. They have thus left the House without a quorum ; and it cannot transact any business as a consequence." On Monday even in? both branches of the Legislature held a night session. The Senate re scinded their joint resolution to ad journ, and instructed a Committee to Trait upon the Governor and request him to retnrn Senate Bill Xo. 71, for the reason that it had not been re ported by the Committee of Enroll ment. This bill contains an appro priation for 40.000 for building the penitentiary. Tuesday morning the Hoa?e met and adopted the following Resolu tions, presented by Col. Chipraan of Multnomah : t,lrl. That f .e Governor be respectful! t in--fonnH that on account of the relation of the meaner cf this body, it is now left without a quorum to do business. Son,, of the most im portant measures nnder consideration by the Leg islature are nil! peniiog. an d for want of a ouo rum cannot be pasFe(j jBto Uwg . am .g the general appropriation bill for the epenst of the government. Should the Legislature adjourn before such appropriation he made, great injustice wou.J be dme t the creditors and cOiccrs of th. to roTemment. and-tbe credit of the State se riously impaired. . Tor these reasons our dotr to oar constituents requires un to say that we will re nam in fusion from day t day until a special election b called, that a quorum way be assem bled to transact each busing , requires k--is-lative action. n t;Xe ?rmr .f2t fnat iU Insa"e- tb t.ary, th, Judienrj and other ordinary objects of legislation remain unprovided for, justifies us in ea.nar your attention to Uia matter, and the more especially d , we feel it onr dnty that you Ziy know that all the member, of this body? from Jo consideration, will desert their posts while so im portant dnties remain tc be performed It was with surprise that we learned that ai to entica! a moment your Excellency had accepted the resignations of so xr a. number of meic ers ; f.r ths time Win- defeating all legislation. Duty to cur constituents requires that r should interpose this much. Were it possible, should we now adjourn, the -funds for decaying tho ordinary expenses of the Government must remain locked up in the Treas ury, and the jo st creditors of our State will be competed to sacrifice a part of what is justly due them. In fact the insane are liable to be turned outcpon the cold charities of the world at this in clement season of tho year; and Jhe poorer credit ors of the Sute, who shall not be able to wait two years for their pay, will be compelled to suffer at thernands of the more fortunate, who will be ready topurcbaso tteir just demands and profit by their necessities. J JUtohed anler. That the Clerk of this House do forthwith, by the Sergeant at arms, transmit to ttie Governor a duly certified copy of these res olutions. Recited, That this House will be ready at 3 o c.oe p. ir. this day, to receive any eommunica tion his Excellency may be pleased to make. The resolutions were adopted. Mr. Chapman moved to reconsider the vote by which the reflations were adopted. The rote was reconsidered. The question was shall the resolutions be adop- Mr. Chaptaan demanded the ayes and nays. F-The vote stool-ayes, 26 ; nay-Mr. Winston 1. The foregoing Resolutions weretlu ly placed in the Governor's hands -as abo ve directed ; but up to the time of this writing he has not deigned to mate any official reply. It is rumor ed that he and his party are willing to "compromise." Compromise what? There is nothing to compromise; and consequently no compromises nor concessions can be made by the Dem ocratic members. 'They have commit ted no wrong; they have violated no law ; they have done nothing uncon stitutional. They arc at their posts,, at much personal inconvenience and expense, ready , and anxious to dis charge the duties devolved upon them as legislators, and return to their sev eral homes. What they do is done in no factiou spirit. No appropriations have yet been made to defray the ex penses of the government. Except these appropriations be made no mon ey can be lawfully drawn from the Treasury. The Democratic members of the Legislature are anxious to pass an appropriation bill; and one would have pass:I , last Monday, but for the it) IP ?5r . 4 revolutionary action of the Radical members. The Democratic members have acted entirely in accordance with the law. If no provision be made to take care of tho insane, nor to defray the various other expenses of tho Government, the blame rests wholly upon tho Radical members and the Governor. It is well known that he instigated this revolutionary movement; that ho was in their cau cus, and that he even wrote out some of the resignations of those who have resigned. So far from using his influ ence to prevent them from resigning, and thus clogging tho wheels of leg islation, and inaugurating a jacobini cal and revolutionary movement, he is actually tho chief of tho conspirators. We have said this action on- the part of the Governor and the Radi cal members of tho House, is revolu tionary. We mean what we say, and wo desire to impress this fact upon the public. It is an attempt to retain all the oftices in the hands of the Rad ical party, and to rob and plunder the public treasury. It is an attempt to swindle the people. It is an attempt to enrich a few unscrupulous adven turers and demagogues, by having full control of the public monies for the ensuing two years. Over six hun dred thousand dollars will flow into the coders of the State within this time ; and if no appropriation be made; if the Legislature cannot form a quorum; if they go home without passing any more laws, then the Governor, and other State functiona ries will have the free and unrestricted control of this large sum of money during this period. They will take the public money and use it without let or hindrance. State warrants will be issued. They will not be cancelled for want of an appropriation. What is there to prevent those having con trol of these State funds from using them tor private purposes ? The peo ple pour these public funds into the trcasurv; and these same funds will be used in buying up State warrants, at a ruinous discount, by these Radi cal leeches and vampires. And we do not pretend to tell how much of the people's money they will steal outright. What will there be to hin der? In view of thec facts in view of the fact that the Radicals have inau gurated revolution in view of the fact that their evident intention is to rob and plunder the treasury in view of the fact that they will use 0 these means to oppress, and tread down, and enslave the people we ad vise all county treasurers to hold fast to the State funds now in their pos session until such time as our State shall be extricated from its perilous condition by legal and appropriate legislation. They arc infinitely more safe with them than they will be in the hands of the blood-suckers, vam pires, anarchists, and revolutionists who now control the State ofSces. In conclusion we say if those to whom the State is indebted do not receive their money when dne, let them remember that the fault nsts upon the shoulders of the Radical party headed by Gov. Woods. Radical members resigned their seats in the Legislature and thus broke up a quo rum; and for want of a quorum no appropriations have been made ; and without appropriations no money can be legally drawn from the treasury. If the State printer is not paid the sums to which he is justly entitled if no provisions are made for keeping the Insane of our State, and they arc turned out upon the cold charities of the world as a consequence if the necessary appropriation have not been made for the safe-keeping of the convicts in the penitentiary and they are turned loose to again commit their depredations and -crimes upon com munity in consequence if no steam tug shall be built and stationed at the mouth of the Columbia in order to establish direct communication with Europe and thus reduce freights near ly one-third, and in that proportion reduce the prices of nearly every thing consumed by the people if the public money, for the next two years, shall be used to enrich a set of character less adventurers, and harpies, and cormorants, if they steal, and rob, and plunder the people let them re member that 'the entire blame Vastly attaches to the Radical party headed by their Governor, Geo. L. Wocds, and not upon the Democratic party. The Democratic members have been ready to discharge their duty; and they are now ready to do all they lawfully can to extricate our noble State from the perilous and anarchical condition in which she has been plac ed by the revolutionary proceedings of the jacobinical Radical party of Oregon.

Bertram, a Frenchman recently from the mine, THE DUTY Or THE HOUK, . Before another soven days will have rolled around, and tho Dkmochat shall have another opportunity of greeting its many patrons, .great and momentous issues will have been de cided a grand stroke for the weal or woo of the country will have been made. Freedom from enormous and crushing burdens will bo dawning upon tho people, sending a halo of hope and joy across the threshold of the poor laborer and mechanic of the nation, or the gloom of another four years of oppression, tyranny and usur pations of those sacrad political privi leges which are alone vested in the States and the people thereof by our Constitution, will be settling down upon our country with tenfold black ness and intensity. The question will have been decided whether that finan cial svstem which makes one class of our citizens millionaires and purse- proud aristocrats at the expense of another and poorer class of the people, is to become a fundamental and last ing measure; or whether the just and equitable principle of one class of taxes and one kind of money for all classes shall become a fixed policy in the financial economy of our nation. It will be decided whether we are to have a Mongrel Government a Gov ernment where the semi-civilized Asiatic, the savage Indian and the barbarous African are to share alike with the Anglo-Saxon those iticstitna ble privileges for which our Revolu lionary sires once pledged their "lives, thoir fortunes, and their sacred hon ors" and for which thev endured un told hardsdiips 'for eight long and bloody years ; or whether, in accord ance with their wishes and instruc tions, we are to preserve this as a " White Man's Government, made iv r m White Men for White Men and their posterity forever." The people will next Tuesday decide by their ballots whether we are to have a debt of bil lions of money saddled upon us for years to come, ruining our prospects at home and impairing our credit abroad ; or whether a policy will be accepted and inaugurated by which we can honorably and fairly liquidate that public debt which is now resting upon our pcjjple as an incubus, para lizing our industry at home and pros trating our commercial relations with other countries. The matter wiU be determined whether the people desire to elevate to the Executive ofliee a man whosu prestige and fame have only been acquired in the last eight years of wild pasion, and bitter strife, and deadly fueds between two sections of our common country, and whose only virtue(?) is that he has ex pressed no policy or fu-cshadowing of how he will discharge the duties of his important ofliee ; a man of no statesman like abilities, no adminis trative capacity, and no known nat ural endowments sufficient to fit him for so high a trust ; or whether the people will elevate a man to the Pres idency whosv public history and rec ord arc in keeping with those of America's most gifted sons, and whose claim to statesmanship is not contro verted even by his bitterest partisan enemies ; one whose private life is as pure and stainless as his. public acts arc cousistant and brilliant, and who has .given us sufficient guarantee of his conduct in the future by his whole past career in the public services rendered to the people of the great Plmpire State almost a nation in itself. In view of the issues involved in view of the dangers and disasters which threaten our country in the event of the succes of Radicalism in the pending conflict, wc trust every voter will resolve the matter fully in his mind before voting, and that he will go to the polls on next Tuesday' determined to strike one more blow for liberty, his family and the 'pros perity of his country, and cast his suf frage for those men who have been put forward by the White Men of the Country Seymour anu Blah:. " OUECiON 1H HAFE." Whatifitis? Don't we want to increase our majority over last June ? Shall we neglect our duty as Demo crats, and remain away from the polls on next Tuesday, thereby jeopardizing and imperiling our success, because we regard the State as safe for Seymour and Blair? After tho Juno election wc had the Radicals of the State com pletely demoralized, and they did not expect to regain a foothold in Oregon for many years to come, if ever; but if we remain secure in our recent vic tory, and neglect to vote on next Tues day, thereby falling behind, our ma jority1 ot June last, it will give a new impetus to the decaying hulk of Rad icalism and inspire it with hopes of success in the State election two years hence, and make the battle harder for us at that time. We have now got the "loii" croakers down, and lot us keep piling on the White Man's ballots at each sucessive election until they will scarcely have breath sufficient with which to whisper Hake 'em off!" Rally to the polls next Tuesday, and r.ote for Sevraour and Blair VOTEIt, IlKMEHIIEKf On next Tuesday all those who are opposed the following measures will vote for Seymour and Rhtir: All opposed to a standing army of 50,000 men in time of peace, to oppress tho white race and elevate tho negro in eleven States of the Union. All opposed to a policy which re constructs negroes into legislators, Congressmen and Governors over whito men. All opposed to paying gold to the bondholders and forcing a deprecia ted currency of greenbacks upon sol diers. All opposed to being taxed to death to support three millions of negroes in vice and idleness. All opposed to robbing the pcjplo of the elective franchise and vesting tho choice of electors in illegally con stituted negro Legislatures. All opposed to perpetual sessions of Congress to legislate ten States out of the Union aud create an army of tax collectors aud assessors to suck away the life-blood of the laboring men of the North. All opposed to a policy which in creases the national debt in time of peace at the rate of fourteen millions of dollars per month. And all in favor good government, peace, prosperity, national re-union and White Supremacy. the li:gismtli:. The Legislature on last Tuesday evening, took a recess until the 4th of next March, unless sooner convened by the Governor; and the members generally have gone home. They. were forced to this step by the revo lutionary proceedings of the Radical members. Tuesday evening the House consid ered a message from the Governor. In that message the Governor takes the ground that there was a quorum. lie says there were thirtv-two who still had a right to seats in the House. Among these he places Garrett, Hox ter and Minto. These three men, some days before this, tendered their resignations, and they had been ac ceplcd by the Governor, as was pro ven by the Secretary of State, under his official seal. But tho Governor subsequently procured the resigna tions of these men, and pocketed or destroyed them, as was also proven by a statement of the Secretary. He is thus not only guilty of lying out right, but of stealing and destroying papers from the Secretary of Slate. Such conduct on the part of the Exec utive, is most vile and iofamou and cannot be defended by any good citi zen. I0. T . FA 1 1, TO VOTE. Every Democrat who fails to go out to the polls next Tuesday and cast his vote for Seymour and Blair, will com mit an error which he probably can not repair in a life time. Great issues are at stake, involving your own and your children's happiness and pros perity in the future. Your country's weal or woe is to be decided ; so do not allow any possible pretext or emer gency to prevent your catting a ballot on the day of the Presidential elec tion. Vote for Seymour, Blair, and White supremacy ! Bio Meet'ito. The Portland Ifcr old of the 29th says that Messrs. Grovcr and Cronin spoko to largest audience that has assembled in that city during the campaign, on last Wednesday night.

The Radical procession last njght was a failure, numbering only five thousand seven hundred, including fifteen hundred from the country and hunreds of boys. Tho Democrats arc offering bets on California ; very few aro taken. Popular Sentiment in Wisconsin". As and evidenco of the settled de termination of tho Western people to hurl tho Radicals from power, tho wildest enthusiasm prevails in favor of Seymour aud Blair. In the State of Wisconsin alone, not less then nine new Democratic papers have been started sinco tho nomination of Grant, and many of tho ablest and most prominent Radicals in tho State, among whom aro Ex-Gov. Sherwood and Hon. II. G. Webb, havo deserted the sinking fortunes of Radicalism and taken a bold stand in behalf of De mocracy.

City, on last- Mondays Wauuinoton, Oct. 25. Tho Prcsi- dent has addressed a letter to General Thomas Ewiug, in relation to tho nation al expenses of tho public debt. After recapitulating briefly the history of ihc public debt after tho revolutionary war of 1812, and tho Mexican war, he says the debt in February, 1800, wus twenty eiglit hundred millions, tho expenditure during the last thre years have been re spectively fivo hundred nnd twehty-thrco millions, three hundred and Ihtrly-ix millions, and three hundred and seventy millions. He proceed to say these start ling facts, thus concisely stated, surest an enquiry an to the cause of this increase in the expenditure and indebtedness of the country. 'During the civil svar the maintenance of the Federal Government was the one great purpose which anima ted our people ; that economy should al ways characterize our financial operations was overlooked in the ureal effort of th; nation to preserve its existence ; many abuses which had an origin in the war, continued to exist lon after it had been brought to a triumphant terminations Tho people having been accustomed to a fl.iih expenditure o( tho public money for an object so dear to them as the preserva tion of tho integrity of their free institu tions of the country, have patiently borne the taxation of a most oppressive charac ter. Large sums of u.uuy continue to be extorted from the people and smu dered in . useless extravagance. Enor mous expenditures arc demanded, for purposes, the accomplishment of which requires a large standing ortny. the per version of the Constitution and the sub mission uf the States to negro domina tion, with a military establishment, cost ing iu time of peace not less than one hundred millions annually, and a debt, i ho interest of which draws one hundred and fifty million a nua!Ivf we have two hundred and fifty million for the-tQ tuo items of expenditure. Retrenchment ha1 become au absolute necessity or bankrupt cy will soon overtake u and involve the country in paralyzing icsult. if, how ever, a wise economy should be adopted, taxes may soon he uoroiually reduced, not merely fur the benefit of the few. but in the interest of all, and that revenue would remain sufScscnt for the adminis tration of the Government, a well as for sufli a reduction ef the public dt.Lt a would in a few years rtiieve the j eople from the millions of interest now annual ly drawu from them. The idea that the debt is to become permanent should be discountenanced ai involving taxation tio heavy to be borne, and th payment of an amount ol interest tvery fifie- n years equal to the original sum. The gradual liquidation of the public debt would by degrees release the larg? capital tnve:eJ in government securities which would seek remuneration in other sources of in cf me, and would a l l much to the weahh of the nation, upon which there i now a great drain. This immense debt, if pt-r-mitted to become perm incut, uril evi dently be gathered into thy l.zuU of a few, and enable thcra to cxtrt a danger on 4 and controlling power in the affairs of the 'government ; iho debtors would become tho servants of the lenders, and the creditors master of the pcop!!. The letter conclude by declaring that ihc vital issue is whether Congress and its arbitrary nsutuptiou f f authority fdiall supercede the supreme law ef thu land ; whether in time of peace the country shall be controlled bv a multitude of tax collector and a standing army as numer ous a that now maintained, making the debt a permanent burden upou the pro ductive industry of the people, or wheth cr the Constitution, with each and all of its guarantees, shall be sacredly preserved. Whether now, as iu 17i9 and 1 8 1.0, pro vision shall be made for the payment of all our obligations at as an crly a pertod a practicable, that the fruits of labor may bo enjoyed by our citizens rather than be ued to build up and 3U3tain the money monopoly at home and abroad. The contest is not merely who shall oc cupy the principal offices in the people's gift, but whether the high behests of the Federal Constitution shall be observed aud maintained, in order that our liber ties may be preserved and the Union stand restored ; that our Federal system may be unimpaired, and fraternal feeling re-established ; that our national strength may be renewed, and our expenditures diminished ; that taxes may be light, and public debt once more extinguished ; that it may uot injuriomdy affect the life, property aud morals of the nation.
