The traitorous old scamp who runs tlie quill for the Herald, discoursed last Sunday upon the 31 plat.k of the Union ihitfo! m, making tha broad assertion that there was no truth in it. lie said it was absurd to attempt to argtio against a proposition so manifestly and self evidently prepos terous, as that the Rep nblican party are in favor of admitting the so-called ' rebel States to representation in Congress at the earliest practical mo ment wfcicu the public safety will permit." The Frcsider.t imposed the condi tion of emancipation upon State reor ganization, because the public safety rt qired it. Upon what other ground O titan the public safety did the Govern merit wage war? Vv hat was the war but the Maintenance of the national authority against local action, which was incompatible with public safety? If it bo assumed that certain citizens constitute the State, we should like to know who settles that question ? The people of the United States through their lawful Government ; :ind while undoubtedly those people desire that State governments miv be q organized as speedily as the public Safety will permit, they are resolved with equal unanimity that no local gkvernnfint shall be established any where in the country except upon conditions which they may deem ess sential to public safety. Qli'the political authority of the United States be not at this moment absolute over every square inch of the States lately in rebellion, then some other authority is paramount there. If so, what is It? Is it the State mil horiu ? If that bo the c.-w, then State. Const it tit ions must regu late it, independently of all other. Rut if there, be another authority which refuses to recognize any validi. ly in the State Constitution except upon prescribed conditions, then thai authority is paramount, and it may prescribe a reformat ion in part, or .:i'togpther of that Constitution, "it the FossiTferous Democracy be cr r"ft, th proclamations of President Johnson were, in 18 m, unconstitu tional, because he iinpos d upon the S'lrjtJ.rn States, r quirt raents w hit h wefi? deemed essential to the public safety- a course which seemed to the people then, to be b-dh tfut of the Constitution and of common sense. Dat His Accidency and Beiiah see thing? differently now a-days. They Mould have those States admitted as they are, or as they have been, xsy time since the surrender of Lee to Grant. We frankly admit, that some things have been neglected by the Re publican party. Fur instance: the? neglected to hang JeGf. Davis they Qiitted neaares that were necessarv to make treason odious they allowed Andrew Jolmson to persilt in dis gracing the country; h.it, so far as this matter of construction is con cerned. Congress has ncted wisely ana well. The Hern l-i sa To perpetuate the power of the Republican party is the sole end and i-iuiofall the reconstruction legkU- ttMl. You are mistaken Brown or els-; it is one of your " constitutional lies.'7 Yoa are better informed than that you know very well that the object is To perpetuate the -power of this Government Wh;ch yon, and your leaders, Jef Davis, Lee, and Quantrill at tempted to destroy. Your appeal t wTtite men to look at these things dispassionately, are mere trash. Di you suppose that any white men, ca pable of readirg and thinking for themselves, woulJ act with you with your past record before them? except their hearts and consciences were as daik and damnable as your own. Eight years agof when the Gov ernment of the United States was threatened with destruction, a large party declared that it had no consti tutional right to defend itself, but must consent to its own overthrow. The Governraeut in other words, the people acting through their lawful authorities declined to be destroyed, tmd after a long and terrible struggle, which took all the forms and propor tion of war, succeeded in subduing the arm insurrection again-t its au thority. Having thus, at the cost of a quarter of a million of" lives, an enormous public debt, and a univer sal derangement of affairs, once more established that authority, it is now told that it has no constitutional right to secure it. This assertion w ill not bear set lionizing. The Re publican partv, being the party of I r gression, deny the truth of the statement. Suppose that a number of persons living in one of the rebellious States, soon lifter the assassination of Lixcolx, should have ca-bd a Convention, reaffirmed the Constitution, took the oath of fidelity to the Union, and claimed to be rec ognized as a State, the whole country would have smiled at their credulity, yet, before the total ruin of the re hellion this was the kind of advice given to the rebels by the New York Worll. "Summon your Legila tores," it said, " repeal the act of se cession, lay down your arms, and Lincoln can do nothing. Elect your Senators and Representatives ; send them to Washington; and as the House is not organized, they 'will have a voice in the organization 5 It the Herald be correct, this was sound advice. If the country cannot impose upon the reorganization of rebel States such conditions as the public safety may require, then the public safety is at the mercy of those rebel States. Issl'lt to Injury. The follow ing San Francisco dispatch reached us on Sunday: The California, Oregon and Mexico Steamship Company propose to in crease their connections on the north const, by iiiMtigurating a line from Portland to Victoria, and ihus place Oregon in direct communication with Alaska. This we consider as an insult by the company, to present injuries. What has Oregon to gun by direct trade with Seward's purchase! When the crops of the State lie rotting and musty at Portland, awaiting the ar bitrary diction of the line. Give us more direct trade with some other sea port, if you please Mr Holliday. Charley Starr, the boy that stabbed a prostitute at a dance house in Portland, last Sunday night, we think is a fair sample of that class of lads whose parents know not or knowing care not where they are, or what they do. When we first knew of Charley he was about the size ar.d ge of that class of boys on our own streets, w ho may be seen dai ly congregated together, and heard offering insults or assault to weaker parties. The Governor of California has signed a general bill to indemnify the proprietors of newspaper proper t v (fes'royed by rio t-rs. Sunday d.sp ttch to the HerftJd. We presume Beri th w ill now be- triu the payment of the Confederate debt. A delegation of the Ni z Perces are in Portland, fa rout?, to Wash ington Cifv. to have an understand ing with ivferencH to treaty stipula tions. These r.ittians have always been fairhfid to the white man and here is an excellent opportunity for the government to prove its good ac tion toward them. Ex Governor Gibbs will address the Grant Club at Marquatn's to day. We unintentionally omitted mention ing this fact last Saturday, having ac cidentally hard of it, on the 27th. Hon. E. L. Applegtte will de liver a lecture for the benefit of the Portland Temperance Library A6so ciation, on the 6th. Hun. C. Bal, G. W. C. T. for this jurisdiction, addressed the pub lie oc this city upon the subject of temperance, last evening. The !St. Louis people will be al most unanimous in the support of Hon. David L"gan for Congress. They cannot go Joe, Smith 00 any i condition.. FitO.H Till: DALLES. Dalles Citt, Oregox. March Syth, lsd3. Ld. Exterpr rsE . Dalles, since its release from the clutch es of the ice-King is fast resuming its for mer lively appearance, and business of all kinds seems to be active and quite prom ising. Judging from the improvements going on, one cannot but come to the con clusion, that Dalles City is desiined to be i place of considerable importance, and hat, too. at no distant period. There is i in course of erection at this place a large ion ring mill and woolen factory, which speaks well for the place. At present the town is full of prospectors and miners fit ting out for the new El Dorado. Old Steve Meek is here with his party, and starts in a few davs for the Lost Emigrant dig- . , . , , . ... .i s . gings. lie iectureu nere last evening, unu tried hard to get up a big excitement, but f did not succed in raising the wind. Peo ple generally look upon him as a humbug. The Willow Creek mines are all the go here, and from my own personal knowl edge of that place, and from what I can learn, think many will go there and return wishing they had never heard of it. I have no doubt but Willow Creek will, in the course of time, be a mining camp of considerable importance but it will not be this season. It will take one j-ear to bring water into the camp and all experience has taught us ' that the first year these new mining camps are always dull and but little is done in the way of mining. I care not how rich they are. To all those who intend going to that camp or to that region let me say to you, do not be misled by flattering stories. " All is not gold that glitters." And if they are half as rich as some have reported them, next June will be the time to go. I see a correspondence in the Cuhimhln Press written from El Dorado City which is calculated to mislead the public, at least those intending to visit the new gold field of Willow Creek, by urging them that via Umatilla is the shortest and cheapest route that can be traveled to that region. Now this is simply absurd, and if any one will take the trouble to look at any of the late maps they can see who is correct. I am not. interested in any steamboat or stage line, nor route, nor town site, but to travelers and those who intend to visit Willow Creek let me say : Stop at the Dalles, from the Dalles to Canyon City it is one hundred and eighty miles, from Canyon to Willow Creek, sixty miles mak ing the entire distance two hundred and totty miles. From and after the tenth of April Messrs. Lockwood and Edgar will have a line of stages leaving Dalles semi weekly through to Willow Creek i-ia Can yon City, and camp Logan, in three days from the Dalles. And 1 am informed by ur. Edgar that the fare will not exceed forty dollars. By Umatilla the distance cannot be less than three hundred miles and a great part of the road, one of the worst that man ever traveled over, that portion in particular from Powder River to Willow Creek. I speak from personal knowledge I have been on both routes and I emphatically assert that via Canyon City is the shortest cheapest and saletest route that can be traveled to that region. Politics in this county wax warm. It is amusing to see the "Cops." Since the news of Mv. Logan's nomination reached here they are down in the mouth." and have but little to say. And it is evident that they hr.ve come to the conclusion that Mr. Smith's chances are better for Europe than for Washington. The LTnion party will give Mr. Logan a majority in this county be'ond a doubt. They will also elect their State Senator, oue member of the House, and the county Judge. The Democratic party i divided. The old un'eri fied, simon pure and never weaken have went in with the Luton boys and Drought out a ticket called the People's ticket which will be elected by an overwhelming majority. The soils headed by Humason are in a pickle. They are striving even now to do something but we know that they have not the ghost of a chance to elect one man on their ticket and well they know it. Col. Gates their candidate for the Senate has emphatically declined the honor of that position. And I understand from good authority, intend to slump this county for the People's ticket. It is gen erally understood that, the Softs intend to start a campaign paper here ; rumor says the L'matilla Press has been bargained for for that purpose and will be brought here on the first of the month. Humason to be chief scribbler. The norninat'ou of Mr. Logan has given universal satisfaction to the L'nion party here. Every one is well pleased, and he will not only carry the strength of the part', but draw votes from the opposition who are not prepared to swuuow Mr. Smith after saying what they have against Hon. J. II. D. Henderson, on accotint of his religious views. I am pleased to find a streak of consistency among Democrats once in a w hile. The weather is very pleasant here. The hills are green, and the days so warm and pleasant as to bring linen coats into ready use. It is really like summer. I start for Canyon City on Tuesday will vrite you from all points. b. j. a. Whi eat Salem we visited the State Penitentiary, and were shown through it by the obliging Warden. At present there are 74 prisoners. The week ending on the 21st of March, ?... days' work had been done. The total number of commitments, up to the lGth. was 2G9. The law passed by the legislature for the encouragement ot good behavior among convicts, is ha ing a good effect. Not one mark for bad con duct had been made during the week above mentioned. Maj. M. P. Berry is certainly a very competent Superintendent. He has succeeded in making very desirable im provements, and will, the coming Winter, do all that is to be done on or about the grounds ot the Penitentiary so that, in case it is desired that the convicts labor, the State legislature mustf make provision for the emergency, by purchasing machin ery and fitting up shops to employ thus ; grown up bad boys. The brickyard there will no doubt supply Salem wi:h all the brick that city can consume, but in order to make a permanent business at the Peni tentiary, workshops must be instituted, and the convict must be '-let out" to the highest bidder, who w ishes to contract for the man ufacture of boots and shoes, saddlery, wagons.etc. Maj. Berry now discriminates between skilled labor and ordinary labor; and the work of making boots and shoes l-or the convicts, clothes, etc., is carried on within the walls. The Ajax was disabled at sea, soon after crossing the bar, and the first mate took a small boat, rowed to Monticello, fifty or seventy-five miles, there telegraph ed to Portland, and the Continental left in !t i 4; 1 r .

We urge upon all, who contemplate a trip east, the impor tance of sustaining the Xorth American Steamship Company. Twelve thousand dolia.s nave been subscribed toward the erection of a grist mill at Umatilla.

Moral education should hi such as to check, modify and avert evil tendencies or associations which the highest intellect ual eminence would be far from compen sating, and to develop and cherish bene ficial ones, compared with which all merely human knowledge is as nothing, but. conjoined with which such knowledge renders man, formed in the imi'.ge of his maker, an intelligent moral and religious being. It is as impossible to concern a human j being so constituted as to have had all his intellectual feelings developed without one associate moral emotion. Cut how valueless wotdd they have been to him, and how soon would they have passed awav. without even a trace of their ex- - v 7 istence. To our moral emotions we are indebted for all that imparts to our sensuous and intellectual pleasures an ennobling value; and without them the eternal Being, the source of all good and the object of all worship would be to the weak eye of rea s n the cread and all wise Creator, but not the benevolent Father ofthe universe. By our mental functions we are mere spectators ofthe machinery of the universe living and inanimate by our moral emo tions based on, and regulated as they ought to be by Christianity, we become admirers of nature, lovers of man and grateful worshipers of our maker. To our moral and religious feelings combined we owe the calm delight which the con templation of virtue affords, the delightful thrill of conscience consequent upon be nevolent actions :and to them we owe the great system of social duties, upon w hich human happiness rests; which connects mankind by the delightful ties of recipro cal benefits and reciprocal pleasures per formed in obedience and under the guid ance or guardianship of Heaven. And yet, it is a melancholy fact, of which the experience of every man, unfortunately will furnish him with abundant proofs, that the moral education is that least at tended to ; as if it were matter of less mo ment to guard the understanding against error, than protect the heart the fount of our noblest and most God like attributes, from vice. Moral education takes place chiefly during the age of infancy and childhood, before the business ofthe pro fessional teacher begins. Many persons will at first, be inclined to deny this, or endeavor to escape from admitting its necessary consequence, but I believe that no truth within the range of probable science can lie more conclusively establish ed; and if so. it is worse than folly to shut our eyes to the vitally important deduc tions w hich glow from it. In speaking of the moral education of infants I mean simply the formation of habits and character, excluding all notions of responsibility. Morality, strictly speaking, implies in telligent relation with other beings, and consequently is no attribute of infancy. The habits of infants result partly from there original physical and mental con stitution, and partly from the ititluence of external influences. Some think that the peculiarities of character which distinguish each individual from all others are whollv the creatures of circumstances considered ! in the widest sense. All I shall vet tr.re j to assert is. that the power of education is almost unbounded, and that its influence 1 is exerted and produces its cuiet es.ects during infancy. I would appeal to the experience of intelligent parents as to whether the character of children is not formed, wheiher there w ill does not take a determined direction at that period, and whether all subsequent efforts t;Tely re press and moiiif'y their characters without essentially changing them. It follows therefore, that the moral education of the young belongs chiefly to parents, and is the result of domestic training. How great an error is committed by those parents unfortunately too numer ous who neglect the formation of the habils of their children, seeming to think it quite unimportant how they are reared provid ed their health be good and they thrive well, trusting to the teacher afterwards to correct whatever bad habits may thus be suffered to grow up. overlook this part of their duty, or abandon H to the ignorance j and carelessness ot hirelings. What a task ! is thus leU for the educator, lie is ex- I pected with his slender opportunities and feeble means feeble compared with that ofthe parents to undo what has been the work of years the result of innumerable agencies asking upon the impressible in fant during every moment ot every day of its existence. In a majority of cases the teacher and child are brought into contact during a limited time only, and for specific pur poses, so that opportunities for the dis play to the teacher of the child's real moral nature rarely occur, ami when they do, what means are at his command for correcting what is wrong? Simply the expression of his opinion that it is w rong, which offends the child's love of approba tion and may thus in some cases act as a temporary cheek upon the habit. Some teachers would in such cases inflict some kind punishment, the tendency of which is generally, not to eradicate the habit but to make the child endeavor to conceal it more carefully. How important then is it .'iat the mother herself be well educated and prepared for her duty. The present artificial system of female education unfits rather than prepares her for the task which nature has &o clearly designed to her. Gentleness, placid firmness, eveness of temper, watchfulness tenderness and that qui.'t discretion which is usually called good sense are the characteristics of an educated and educating mother, and sure ly these are the qualifications which are best adapted to cheek the peevish and violent, to encourage the idle and timid, and above all. to give an example of what is virtuous and rational to those little be ings whose future happiness depends so much on a mother's care and discretion. The first six years then in the lives of chil dren ili m ind as much or more watchful ness on the part of their guar Hans than any other period of their youth yet it is generally believed that if" they be care fully fed clothed, washed and taught to read or rather made to stammer over a book, the duties towards them are per fectly fulfilled. If they should become wilful and unmanageable and this is a general case, they are sent to school to be corrected, because little master or miss cannot longer be controlled at home. At school as elsewhere the influence of a bad example is as powerful as that of a good one and unless unremitting vigilance be exercised the innocent minded will be corrupted by their associates. Fear o personal chastisement or severe punish ment produces habits of deceit, and those are the most honored w ho are more suc cessful in deceiving their teachers. What w ill be there struggles, when at a riper age they perceive and would correct their errors. How much more severe are t!.e !

The nursery, the school room the world are. alike the scenes of evil passions re strained or encouraged, corrected or triumphant. But, in'the first there is a presiding power which will retain or lose its influence in the subsequent scenes of life according as it is well or all employed in the first and opening stage a power which will be silently but deeply ac knowledged, remembered and reverenced in after years when its worth can be man ifested. This power is possessed by every sensible, judicious and wisely affectionate maker, and let- her deem it as one of her h'ghesi privileges that to her is coat; led the happiness of implanting those seeds ol virtue and morality upon the culture and grow h of which will depend the future welfare of her children. After leaving the mother, the early education of children should be confided to judicious persons whose conduct is regulated by the motives which they with to inculea'e, and whose judgment "is clear, firm, and mature. Ex ample has been pronounced the best in structor in the arts, and so it is in educa tion. Those w ho undertake that great and interesting duty must first learn to L-noic themselves. An angry look, a violent ac tion. an over harsh word will undo hours of advice upon the necessity of a well regulated tender unreasonableness, irreg laritv insincerity and indolence cf mind or body well overturn precepts however w ell w orded and judiciously expressed.

BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, A PROCLAMATION. Wheheas a treaty between the United States of America and his Majesty the Em peror of ail the Russias w as concluded and signed by their respective plenipotentiaries at the city- of Washington, on the thirtieth day of March, last, which treaty, being in the English and French languages, is, word for word, as follows : The United States of America and His Majesty the Emperor of all the Russias, be ing desirous of strengthening, if possible, the good understanding which exists be tween them, have, t'orthat purpose, appoint ed as their Plenipotentiaries : the President of the United M;,teaf William II Seward, Secretary of State ; and His Majesty the Emperor of all the Russias, the Privy Conn cillor Edward de Stoeckl, his Envoy Extra ordinary and .Minister Plenipotentiary to the United Slates. And the s..id Plenipotentiaries, having excl.angnd their full powers, which were found to be in due form, have agreed upon and signed the following articles : article i. II is Majesty the Emperor of all the Rus sias agrees to cede to tie United States, by t iis convention, immediately upon the ex change of the ratifications thereof, till the territory and domain now possessed by bis said Majesty on the continent of America ami in uie adjacent islands, toe same Oemg contained wuhiu the geographical limits herein set forth, to wit : The eastern limit is the line of demarcation between the Rus sian and the British possessions in North America, as established by the convention between Russia and Great Bi itain, of Feb ruary -js 't is-jo, asi.-l described m Articles III and IV of said couventiou, iu the follow ing terms : " Commencing from the southernmost point ot the island called Prince of Wales Island, which point lies in the parallel of o t degrees 4-1 minutes north latitude, and be tween the 121st and the SC1 degree of west longitude, (meridian of Greenwich,) the said line shall ascend to the north along the chan nel called Portland channel, as far as the point, of the continent where it strikes the It ia degife ot north latitude ; from this last-meutionen point, the line of demarca tion shail follow the summit o' the m uu taius situated parallel to the coast as far as the point of intersection of the 111st degree of west longitude, (of ilie same meridiun ;; and finally, from the said point of intersec tion, the said meridian line of the 141st de gree, in its prolongation as far as the Frozeu oce:m, "IV. With reference to the line of de marcation laid down in the preceding arti cle, it IS understood "1st. That the island called Prince of Wales Island shall belong whollv to Russia." (now, by this cession, to the United States.) "2d.
