This, sir, we ask among others, for tho following reu- asoiiH, to-wit : Firxt. Tho official conduct of tho Haid l'almer, during tho two years last past, uijuiulimtly eatislioH jour peti tioners that 'he, said i'ltlmer. is un qualified for tho proper discharge of the duties of Jus said oihee. And sn support of this, our unanimous judg ment , wo beg leave to state to your Excellency the following facts, to-wit: He, said rainier, in forming treaties with Indian tribes within this Territo ry, has, in entire and wilful disregard of the expressed unwillingness of the recognized chiefs of tribes to assist to, or sign, proposed treaties, recognized other Indians as chiefs of their respect ive triles, and received llieir signatures to his treaties, being told, at the saiuo time, that their ucts were not and would not 1h npr roved by either the Ifitiiiuite chiefs or their people ; which, together with other foolish ami visionary acts mid movements' 011 his part, has greatly contributed to pro duce the present Indiau war, and to bring upon tho defenceless inhabi tant.! of this frontier the combined iKAvcr and hostility of a horde of ruth less savges. And, what is still more inexcusable ami unendurable, tho said l'almer is, at thi.i moment, engaged in efforts to purchase the land chums of citizens residing on the west side of the Willamette valley, and contiguous to the coast range of mountains, with the avowed intention of bringing thou sands of Indians from remote parts of the country, and of colonizing them iu the heart of this, the Willamette valley ; ami this, too, despite the re monstrances of the legislative assem bly, aud of our constituents tho men, women and children of the Territory. S'-cond. We would alno further represent to your Excellency the fact that the said 1'almtT, representing himself to be a sound national Demo crat, received, through the recommen dation of such Democrats, residents of this Territory, his aptoiutment from a Democratic administration. Rut, through a spirit of political per fidy, ingratitude, and meanness, he, the Haid Palmer, did, about one year since, join the Know-Nothings ; and, having bound himself with the perfid ious oaths of that dark and hellish secret political order, ha faithfully kept his oaths by neglecting to vote for tho nominees of the Democratic party, and by appointing incompetent Kiiow-Notbing Whigs to office, to the exclusion of aouud, worthy, and com petent Democrats. In co nsideration of which said fore going reasons, wo earnestly pray that the said l'almer may be promptly re moved from tho office of Indian super intendent, and that Edward It. Geary, a sound, consistent, and reliablo na tional Dejnocrat, and an able and worthy citizen, may bo appointed in his stead. And we will not allow our selves to lielievo, for one moment, that our prayer will bo disregarded.

Salem, January 8, 1856. Appended to the above memorial are affixed the signatures of such shining lights of the present Radical party as R. P. Boise, of Polk, who was tho author of of the document, C. W. Brown, A. R. Burkank, now of Iiatayette, John M. Harrison, of Ma rion, and John C. Peebles. Those men, acting under the sancti ty of a Legisaltive oath, deliberately charged that Joel Palmer " is unqual fied for the proper discharge of the duties of his said office." ' J '; If these men told the truth, then when they charged Palmer with " a spirit of political perfidy, ingratitude and meanness," we should like to know what has since occurred in his political life to change their opinions. ' Boise might try to argue the Beal off the bond, while Burkhart, Harrison, MAY 13, 18T0. Peebles, and others would simply try to lie it off. Their names stand upon tho record, and they must'adniit that under the lash of party dictation they aro now supporting a man for Gover nor whom they havo deliberately duinned as both dishonest and incom petent. Lot the people read and ponder upon such facts. 4 ON II IIILLINCSH I.ETTEBM. THE AL'NT. The aunt iz a menny footed insekt. They live about one thousand five hundred anu lilty or them (more or less,) in the same hole in the ground, and hold tharo property in common. I hey have no holydays, no eight- our sistem, nor never striko for enny higher wages. J hey are cheerful little toilers, and have no malis, nor back door to tharc harts. There iz 110 sedentary loafers among them, and yu never see one out uv a job. Iheygitup any, go to bed late, work all the time, and etc on the run. Yu never see two ants argueing sum phoolish question that neither ov them didn't understand : they don't kare whether tho mune is inhabited or not ; nor whether a hsii weighing two pounds, put into a pail ov water al ready phull, will make tho pail slop over, or weigh more. They ain't hunting after the philos ofer's htone, nor geltiug crazy over the cause ov the sudden earthquakes. They don't care whether Jupiter iz 30 or 31 milyun ov miles up in the air, nor whether tho e trth bols around on its axes or not, so long us it don't bob over Untie Lorn krib and spill tharc barley. Taey are simple little L-ixzy ants, full ov faith, working hard, living pru dently, committing no sin, prazeing God by minding their own Lizzness, and dicing when tharc time comes, tew make room for the next crop of ants. They are a reproach to the lazy, an encouragement tew the industrious, a rebuke tew the vishus, and a itudy tew tho christian. If yu want to take a lesson in arki teekture, go and set down by the side ov thare hole in the ground, and won der how so menny kan live so thick. If your paslmnce needs consowla shun, watch the ants, and be strength ened. If man had (added to his capacity) the pashuuee aud grit of thes little at oms ov animated natur, every ruoun tin on the buzzum of the arth would, Ix-fore this, hav bin levelled, and ev ery inch ov surface would scream with fruitfulness, and countless lots ov hu man critters would havo bin added tew the inhabitants ov tho universe, ami bin fed on koru and other soss. I hav sot by the hour nnd a half down near an ant hill, and marvelled ; hav wondered at thare instinkts, and hav thought how big muxtlxj the jack ass who was satisfied to beleave that even an ant, tho least ov the bugs, could have Ixjch created, made bizly, and sot tew work by chance. Oh, how I do pity the individual who beleaves that all thiugs hero are the work ov an acksident ! He robs himself ov all plezure on arth, and all right in heaven. I had rather be an ant (even a hum ble, bandy-legged, profane swearing ant) than tew look upon thiugs ov this world az I would upon the throw ov a dice. Ant are older than Adam. Man (for very wise reasons) want bilt nntill all other things were finish ed, and pronounced good. If man had bin first ho would hav insisted upon bossing the rest of the job. Ho probably would have objeckted tew having enny bizzy ants at all, and various other objeckshuns would have been offered, equally green. I am glad that man wuz the last thing made. If man had'nt hav bin made at all, yu never wud hav herd me find enny fault about it. Ants are a honest, hard-tugging lit tlo people, but whether they marry, or giv in marriage, iz beyond my strength, but if they don't they ain't no wuzz oph than they are out west (near the city of Chicago), where they marry to day and ajply for an injunkshun to morrow ; and are reddy the next day to fite it out again on sum other line. Wedlock out west (near the grate grane mart, Chicago,) iz one ov them kind of loks that almost enny one kan pick. Ireland will yet bo freo. It is so or dained by tho imperious Spirit of the Ago. Again and again her patriotic sons may be fleeing from the scaffold, or car ried in chains to exile ; again and yet again may Erin fall with her bare and bleeding bosom on the altar. But at last fhe will arise in her beauty and her glory, and her harp, which for several hundred years has been grieving on the banks of tho Shannon and the Liffey, with all its broken chords restored and swept by a fiand white as the light, will ring out the inspiring and exultant song of restora tion, of deliverance and freedom.

As the elegant young wan whose name heads this article is in a meas ure a stranger outside his own Coun ty, we take pleasure in presenting him to tho Democracy of the 3d Judicial District as the Democratic candidate for Prosecuting Attorney. Mr. Butler has long been a resident of Polk county, and he is a young man of scholarly attainments, having graduated at the Willamette Univer sity several years ago with distin guished honors, lias Wen for several years a thorough law student and re cently settled into the practice of the law at Dallas as the chosen profession of his life. There are but few young men in Oregon upon whom we can look with more promise of success than Mr. Butler. He is in every way intellectually far superior to Mr. Pow ell, his competitor. Although lie has had bat little experience upon the stump, wo predict that the dull and insipid sentences of J. C. Powell will find but a tioor appreciation in con trast with the strong and forcible log ic of N. Is. Butler. Without further comment we can say for him truth fully, what we would not -like to say for his competitor, that there is no act of Mr. Butler s life to mar the puritv of his public or private record. With that suprt winch the party owes to him as a life-long Democrat, he cer tainly cannot fail of receiving a hand some majority in the circuit. Salem J're. "What lib thk Man Say? Those who are in the habit of attending po lice and other courts, must have ob served the difficulty under which the lawyers and judges labor sometimes, in getting witnesses to testify in legal form. The following which took place at a Cincinnati court last week, is an amusing aud perfect example. A man had been caught in tho act of -theft, and pleaded in extenuation that lie was drunk : Court (to the policeman who was witness) "What did the man say when you arrested him?" Witness "He eaid he was drunk." Court "I want his precise words. just as he uttered them ; he didn't use the pronoun he, did he? He didn't say lie was drunk.' " Witness Oh, yes, he did he said he was drunk ; he acknowledged the corn." Court (getting impatient at the wit ness stupidity) "You don't under stand me at all ; I want the words iust as ne uttereu mem ; uiuu t he sav. l ... l . .11 al was drunk?' " Witness (deprecatingly) "Oh, no, 1 r - . your nonor. lie aiun t tar vou was drunk ; I wouldn't allow any man to charge that upon you in my pres ence." Prosecutor Pshaw, vou "don't com prehend at all. His Honor means, did not the prisoner say to you 'I was drunk?" Witness (reflectively) Well, he might have said vou was drunk, but I didn't hear him." Attorney for prisoner "What the Court desires is to have you state the prisoner's own words, preserving the precise iorm 01 pronoun that he made use of in reply.

As the lino between this place and Uma tilla was down, it was impossible to get the message there tn time to save the man's life who was to have been hung on Friday. We have since learned the man had escaped from jail and was not.on hand when the time came for the hang ing. Dalles Xountnineer. We disliko to spoil a good item, but the above is all wrong. Instead of a pardon it was only a reprieve : and in stead of killing an Indian on the Ncz Perce Reservation, the murder was com mitted on shipboard on the Sound, the victim being a white man and mate of a vessel.
