M. M. McCAHVtiK. For the Spectator. Mk. Bditoii. After having coolly and culmly considered the subject, without, how. ever having consulted my friends' for their concurrence, I huve arrived at the conclusion that it is not yet the projmr time to elect a delegiito to represent tin's territory in the Congress of (lie United .States. The ulmvu conclusion has Im-cii deliberately framed, and is hupHirti'd by a variety of facts and argu meiits, uiiicli would be to numerous to give :it length in the sjmeu usually appropriated to corrusMindrutN in your paper. I notice that tho attention of the commu nity lifts Ih-i'ii called to this subject by n com iiiimication of .Mr. .Mc'C'urver, published in the l"th number of die .Spectator, which bus assed oil' with no other visible effect than that of e.citmg wune little surprise in tho inindsof tin- people; their surprise hu not, however, been excited by the magnitude or the intellctiial cilbrt, but at the uninti lligihle jargon mid misstatement of facts contained in that document. In speaking of a territorial delegate, he says, This olliceris a mere creature of an .ft of Congress, and has no constitutional pri. ileges." So far his statement agrees with the faits, but why does lie conclude the sen. Mice with language announcing the fullu lousiWtriuu that it is in the power of Con. yn-.s to confer constitutional privileges uii territorial delegate, when by a mere refer. nee to the constitution of the United Slates be will readily dicoer that Congress has no ower to confer privileges (f that description; by a more particular examination of the sub. ject be will also discover that a territorial delegate is not excluded from otingas he sas, "because his constituents constitute mo half (Tiisown term for which is a moiety,) uneual to the constitutional number iiscer Mined to entitle u member to full privileges under the last apportionment. Now the only rutionul inference to be. drawn from this assertion is, that if Oregon contained twice the number of inhabitants it now does, iIr. Mu.'h "because" would bo entirely superseded, and an Oregon delegate woiild"b entitled to votu in the American CoitercfW. It is Mil! a greater matter of .surprise that un cx.mcinber and speaker of the Oregon Legislature (which ordorcd the census to be taken by the projier officer, and received his rejKirl,) when laying fuels be fore tho people for their information with reference to the initiation of Oregon, should refer to a document as evidence which is published by a man residing tbreo thousund miles distant, and who never suw Oregon. If the post-olTico department at Washington know that Oregon contained 10,000 injiabi. tants mio year ugo, they are bottor acquaint ed with thoalfairs of Oregon than thoso who reside in it, and would probably bo but little benefitted by tho iustructions'of thoso who would fa, willing to innko tho trip to Wash ington frer of expense for that purpose I fully cottcfir with Mr. Mc'Curvor in nil that ho says about our " standing up liko men," or in occupying any oilier position which honor or duty may dictate; but I daro not concur with him in tho cxiedicncy of sending a deleguto lotio Unitod States Con gross, without the authority of that body, In Conclusion, allow mo tonluwruA fn-w benefit of all asniranta who am nairttA um'iI. a congressional propensity, remain quiet, and oivo VOU Halves no linoflKinnsn.

Sometime it occasions ludicrous occurrences. A cane of this kind happened not long ago in a cer tain church, when a preacher of that mi morouH and Jiighly respeclablo class, tho Methodists, was dolj"rring a farewell sermon, prior to his going further west, whero ho had a moro oxtonsivo field open for his useful ness. hi closing, ho stated in proper terms and feeling, "that he now took his affection ate leave of them, probably never to address them again." "The Lord be thanked I Amen!" ex claimed a member of tho congregation, just aroused from his sleep, without being fully aware of what tho prcachor had said. The minister's astonishment as well as that of the congregation, can bo imagined. DIEDOn Tuesday, Oil 13lh, near (Won City, Mr. Isaac Cornelia.
