Mr. Ilamliti'ji demonstration nf Mr. Calhoun' misconception of facts eipeclnt ly iu the case of Tennessee, has admon ished many, who were accustomed to rely Imnllsilly on Mr. C.'a statements, that he was not Infallible. Mr. Thurston's speech last Monday, on the proposition to admit California aa a state Into the Union, waa assuredly, the "crack" house speech of lhj rttjoti, on thai rnemenuiua, liplc. Mr. T. haa taken position already very unuiusl, If not altogether unprecedented, fur a delegate. He Is, by no mean, of. ficious or obtruilve, but, on nil subjects comprised within bit duly as the repro- seiitatieof Pacific interests, he li over .vigilant and ready.

When Mr, Thurston rose on Monday lnat, ha was jioasesseil, at once, of the rciectfiil at tention of tho house. I le introduced him. self Into thu discussion us "thn first re. cognized rt'iritrnlativi) from tho I'acifiu coast," and, although accredited from Oregon alone, hu felt himself called upon to express tils views upon the quuitlon Iu-. foro lb bullae, bornuui of llin complicity of inlrrrslsbclui'viihUovtii territory and Ih rtote of California.

Mr. I . then took up, seriatim, every nhloctlon urged on principle or suggested ny cxprnieucv, against thn ail. million ofCalifnrnia. Tboronatitutional iufy of congress to admit hrr into tho Union was exhibited in tho clearest man. nor; and Mr. T. sustained his otn argil, menls by the collateral testimony of Mr. Calhoun and Mr. Ilerricn, Ho then en numerated mery plausible or specious cb. i eel Ion arrayed, by expediency. agalnM her admission, and trliimphamly xnvoiit them from her path. To thn objection of ncr vast sraDoam he demonstraten, ny tho most competent and credible oldcnoe, that California possessed but "one single harhor susceptible nf accommodating any considerable amount of shipping, or that can ever be th locality nf any consider able town." To that of her vast superficial area of MO.uoo square milbs ho answered, that the greater portion of this area wa com posed of sandy dosorta and non.arable land ; and th testimony of Cspt.

Whllo on my way to this place, from California, the nbovo ideas suggested themselves to me, after tho perusal of an article In tho JVtie York ireXy Sun.: Among other things, ihn nrliclo alluded to stated that the nri. cm current of Orfgon were much higher than those of California ; and gives oa cwuence, that Ddtlcr, in th latter part ol tho winter, was Jour dtltart and fifty unit per pound, aniT consequently infer that inn urogoniansmust do ceiicient in enter prise, or such a state of thin would not exist.
