Tho eboso evIJrntly allude to the ooursgof tho executive last "inter, ten. ards the location bill, when it was under consideration. Inasmuch as It Is brought up by the Statesman, o "ill give it n pining notice. A portion of the lit sec tion of tlio act, making appropriation! for Minnesota ami Oregon, after approprial Ing 30,000 to each, reads as follows : "To bo applied by th(7orniirandLcgistatlvo Assemblies of '.ho Territories of Minnesota and Oregon, at such plaro a Mry may select in said Territories for the erection ofpenltenlariei." Dy the above it .il be tern that the Governor was required to take part in the location of the buildings alluded to, and conceiving the course of tho legislature upon thlsiubjcct to be inconsistent with the Org.nle law, he aa in duty bound, not! tied them of this fact. He sought to do no mor. Consistent with his duty, couM he have done least If his counsel hsd been listened to, and tho action upon this matter corrected, it would have saved tho Territory from the present state of dis traction and confusion that unfortunately prevails. We havo uniformly opposed the drawing of the lines here, aa we said before, from honest convictions that it would exert a deleterious influence upea tho Territory, not allowing eur political opinlona to influence our conclusions and we have not the slightest object in laying our opinions before the public, ex. cept In the hope that it may serve, in some small degree, to promote what we con oeive will be for the intorest of all.

We leant that a few rta prctmua to baea 'decidedly of a partisan character, Mho departure of tho Superintendent of In aad from the earliest discussion of this J Jlln "' for Washington, a treaty was qoeetioa, hat advocated immediate orga aiaatioo. Aad yet we are told, in the ,. fisaa of all theee facte, that "official whig. . ary" aaabeea busy drawing party lines c aa fcr aa lay In tboir power. We do not weaJir at the SbOenutn't evident anxiety .10 areas) tha odium attached to the ad. sjsjaay of taie saeaaure. We expected it.

Some of our reasons for opposing thh) aaeaasra were stated in out papor of j Nor. 18. Aa yet they remain unanswered by aay reatoaiog to the contrary. The abeeaoe of aay arguments ta controvert snr viewefje a sad commentary upon lbs eouodnese of the Slatetman't position and iu shift to avoid the real question at Issue, by simply making assertions of a purely political stamp, about Ihc course oi an administration, located thousands of mile frou bare, will be of Utile avail. We do not discuss this measure upon party grounds. The question whether it will advance the interests of the Tor rilory or prove detrimental to them, to organize the parties, it the real point at iarat. We aro not writing to sustain or detract from any administration, whotber whig or democratic, and do not In con nection with the subject desire to mluzle the question of the political principles of either party, any farther than may be necessary, to show the asperity of feeling to which they give rise. With regard tn the question asked by tho SlaUtman, how. ever, in reference to tho removal of Gen. LAlCf , we would aay, that including, and sutcethe administration of Jackso.v, It has become the settled policy, and identified with tho principles of either parly, ihal upon a change in the Presidency, a change or officers should lako place. Tho fact of the election of an executive from tho opposite party to tho preceding ono, is supposed to denoto a revolution of sent!, meat on the part of the people, and a onange ei public sen ants is a matter required by tho Incoming of a new ad. m'Inislrstion. Nothing can be gained, then, by this clior;;o; for, thoro is no mare settled principle, or practice enter. talned and actod upon by oilhor .party than this and if not, tho Statesman cer tainly cannot plead, on the part of Dem. ooratlo administrations, thai thoy follow a dlflerent course with regard to removals. Al wo understand it, Gen. I,anx resigned before ho had rectlvcd any official, or reliable informatlou of any kind, of his removal. Wo may be wrong in this, and if so, ask to bo corrooted. "Hence the disposition to exerclso ab. solute control, under the direction of their superiors at Washington." Wo regret Ihal Iho consideration of the subject of drawing parly line should bs concluded with the Clackamas Tribe uf Inditnn, in which thy ceded to the Uni ted Stales all iho lat. I claimed by them. The tract of land Is a largo and valuable one, and include the towns of Milwaukie ami Orcg.vj City. The boundaries are as follows: North by the Columbia River, eaat by the Cascade range of mountains; south by lands lately ceded to the United Slatea by the Motalla tribe of Indians, and west by die Willamette River. They ere to receive aa annuity of twentyflve hundred dollars (or ten years. Tho pay ments to bo in money, clothing, provis ions, die. Five hundred dollars of the annuity is to be paid In money. They make no reservation of the soil; but arc allowed the privilege of occupying their present locations during tho lives of tho signers of the treaty and their grounds and buildings arc not to be encroached upon by the whitbS, or ethers, except as it may be necessary in tho construc tion of highways or bridge, for the pub lie use. They ore to bo held responsible for the acts of the individuals of their tribe, as is also the Government for actc of whito clti-cn. 0C7ll will bo seen by reforenco to our advertising columns, that tho Steamer Willamette will leave Portland with the mails for California and tho States, on Saturday next, at 3 P.
