Iiom the nfheo nf , "'ui mt; uniri! or k innr n- lenuent ot -Indian affairs of this 1 erntory. Thi sir, we ask, am oner others, for J 1 IV II me iouowmg reasons. io wit : First. the said A. . O " J the official conduct of Palmer, dur intr the two years last past, abundantly satisfies our petitioners that he, said 1 aimer, is unqualified for the proper discharge of the duties of said office. And in support of this, our unanimous judgement, we beg leave to state to your Excellency the following facts, to wit: He, said Palmer, in forming treaties with Indian tribes within this Terri tory, has, in entire and wilful disre gard of the expressed unwillingness of the recognized chiefs of tribes to assent to, or sign, proposed treaties, recognized other Indians as chiefs of their respective tribes, and re ceived their signatures to his treaties, being told, at the same time, that their acts were not and would not be approved by either the legitimate chiefs or their people; which, together with other foolish and visionary acts and movements on his part, has greatly contributed to produce the present In- 1 - ban war, and to bring up on the defenceless inhabitants of this frontier the combined power and hostility of a horde of ruthless savages. And, what is still more inexcusable and unendurable, the said Palmer is, at this moment, en gaged in efforts to purchase the and claims of citizens residing on the west side of the Willamette valley, and contiguous to the coast range of mountains,with theavowed intention of bvino-inir thousands of Indians from remote parts of the country, and of colonizing them in the heart of this, the Willamette valley ; and this, too, despite the i-emonstrance of the legislative as sembly, and of our const ituents the men, women, and children of the Territory. Second. We would also further represent to your Excellency the fact that the said Palmer, repre senting himself to be a sound na tional Democrat, received through the recommendation of such Demo crats, residents of this Territory, his appointment from a Democratic administiation. Rut, through a spirit of political perfidy, ingrati tude and meanness, he, the said Palmer, did, about one year since, join the Know X'othings; and, hav ing bound himself with the perfidi ous oaths ot that dark and hellish secret political order, has faithfully kept his oaths by neglecting to vote for the nominees of the Demo cratic part', and by appointing incompetent Know-X'othing Whigs to office, to the exclusion of sound, worthy, and competent Democrats. In consideration of which said fore going reasons, we earnestly pray that the said Palmer may be promptly removed from the said office of Indian superintendent, and that Edward R. Geary, a sound, consistent, and reliable national Democrat, and an able and worthy citizen, may be appointed in his stead. And we will not allow our selves to believe for one moment that our prayer will be disregarded. Grant this our petition, and we, your Excellency's Democratic friends, i-eprcsenting the people of Oregon in the legislative assembly, will,as in duty bound,ever pray, A: c.

Appended to the above memorial are affixed the signatures of such shining lights of the present Radi cal party as R. P. Boise, of Polk, who was the author of the docu ment, C. W. Brown, A. R. Bur bank, now of Lafayette, John AI. Harrison, of Marion, and John C Peebles. Those men. acting under the sanctity of a Legislative oath, de liberately charged that Joel Palmer " is unqualified, for the proper dis charge of the duties of his said office." If these men told the truth, then, when they charged Palmer with "a spirit of political perfidy, in gratitude and meanness," we should like to inow what has since occurred in his political life to change their opinions. Boise might try to argue the seal off the bond, while Rurkhart, Har rison, Peebles, and others, would simply try to lie it off Their names stand upon the record, and they must admit that under the iasn or party nictation they are now supporting a man for Gov ernor whom they have deliberately damned as both dishonest and in competent. Let the people read and ponder upon such facts. And what is a more striking fact concerning the above memorial, it is said to have emanated from the pen of R. I. Boise, and is a sped men of the malignant hatred of Boise towards Palmer at that time, as well as his absolute want of con fidence in Palmer's personal and political honesty; but as politics maKcs strange ncu ieliows it is more than probable that Boise will support Palmer at the coming elec tion with a zeal apparently real. Elack Jo. This blabbing spindleshank joker who is leading the forlon Morgrel hope for Congressional honors in Oregon, is now in Port land, and will soon be here upon the canvass. Jo. Wilson enjoys the widely known and justly earned reputation of being a dirty black guard. There may be a few in Orego who would vote for Jo. upon this single qualification, which seems to be about the only one he is known to possess. If the people are disposed to place sole reliance upon the author of nasty stories, while the destiny of the Republic is weighing in the scale, it spe.-iks but poorly indeed for the pariot ism and good sence of our people. "While Wilson is here upon the stump let him refute some of the charges, at least, that have already been brought against him. Eor instance we would like to hear from his own mouth, an explana tion of why he borrowed gold from the Orphans School Eund,and paid it back in greenbacks when at a low figure, while he was drawing his Judge's salary, under his own ruling, in coin. If greenbacks are forced upon orphan children in re turn for the gold borrowed of them, why are they not, in a legal and moral point of view, good enough for Judge's salaries? If it be true that Wilson jumped the Erench man's farm, near Waeonda, in this count)-, while the owner was absent temporarily, and realized a hand some sum of money by appropri ating the owners improvements as well as the claim? Why not, if the said Radical Congress candi date is opposed to repudiation, reimburse the injured Erenchman by paving him the amount of his loss? Euthermore, if Roxana's (negro) baby was deserving of a suit of clothes, ought not the ebony urchin, after the laspse of six years, be clothed afresh ? It is only once in a while that one has an appor- tunitv of vindicating himself; he should avail himself ot it when the privilege is thrust in his way. . - Bexevoi.ext Editor.

Additional articles to the treaty between the United States of America and the Ta-Tsing Empire, of the 18ih of June. 18") 8. Wiiekeas, Since the conclusion of the treaty between the United States of America and theTa-Tsing Empire (China) of the 18th of June, 1858, circumstances have arisen showing the necessity of ad ditional articles thereto, the Presi dent of the United States and the august Sovereign of the Ta-Tsing Empire having named for the pleni potentiaries, to wit: The President of the United States of America, William II. Seward, Secretary of State, and his Majesty, the Em peror of China, Anson Burlingame, accredited to his Envoy Extraordi nary and Plenipotentiary, and Chil Kang and Sun Chia-Ku, of the sec ond Chinese rank, associated High Envoys and Ministers of his said Majesty, and the said Plenipoten tiaries, after having exchanged their fall powers found to be in proper form, have agreed upon the following articles : Art. 1. His Majesty, the Em peror ot China, being ot the opin ion that in making concessions to the citizens or subjects of foreign powers of the privilege of residing on certain tracts ot land, or rest mg to certain Avaters of that em pire for purposes of trade, he has by no means relinquished his right ot eminent domain or dominion over the said land and waters,here by agrees that no such concession or grant shall be construed to give any tower or party which may be at war with or hostile to the United States the right to attack the citi zens of the United States or their property within the said lands or waters, and the United States, for themselves, hereby agree to ab stain from offensively attacking the citizens or subjects of any power or party or their property, with which they may be at war on any such tract of land or waters of the said empire ; but nothing in this article shall be construed to pre vent the United States from resist ing an attack by any hostile party or power upon their citizens or their property. It is further agreed that if any right of interest in any tract of land in China has been or shall hereafter be granted by the Government of China to the U"nited States or their citizens for purposes of trade or commerce, that grant shall in no event be construed to divest the Chinese authorities of their right of jurisdiction over per sons and property within said tract of land, except so far as that right may have been expressly relin quished by treaty. Art. 2. The United States of America and his Majesty, the Em peror of China, believing that the safety and prosperity of commerce will thereby best" be promoted, agree that any privilege of im munity in respect to trade or navi gation within the Chinese domin ions which may not have been stipulated for by treaty, shall be subject to the discretion of the Chinese Government, and may be regulated by it accordingly, but not in the manner or spirit incom patible with the treaty stipulations of the parties. Art. 3. 'I he Emperor of China shall have the right to appoint Consuls at ports of the United States, who shall enjoy the same privileges and immunities as those which are enjoyed by public law and treaty m the United States by the Consuls of Great Britain ami Russia, or either of them. Art. 4. The 29th article of the treaty of the 18th of June, 1858, having stipulated for the exemp-l tion ol Christian citizens of the United States and Chinese con verts from persecution in China on ; account of their faith, it is further agreed that citizens of the United States ia China of every religious persuasion, and Chinese subjects in the United States, shall enjoy en tire liberty of conscience, and be exempt from all disability or per secution on account of their relig ious faith or worship in either coun try. Cemeteries for sepulture of the dead, of whatever nativity or nationality, shall be held in respect and free from disturbance and pro fanation. Art. 5. The United States of America ajid the Emperor of China cordially recognize the inherent J COURTESY OF BANCROFT LIBRARY, TTKTVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, t'lan an entirely voluntary emigra tion for these purposes. They con sequently agree to pass laws mak ing it a penal offense for a citizen of the United States or Chinese subject to take Chinese subjects to the United States or to any other foreign country, or for a Chinese subject, or a citizen of the United States to China or to any other foreign country without their free and voluntary consent respectively. Art. 0. Citizens of the United States visiting or residing in China shall enjoy the same privileges and immunities, or exemptions in re spect to travel or residence as may there be enjoyed by the citizens or subjects of trie most favored nation, i ... 11.. "i aim reciprocally, viimee suojecis visiting or residing in the United States shall enjoy the same privi leges, immunities and exemptions in respect to travel or residence as may there be enjoyed by the citi zens or subjects of the most favored nation: but nothing herein con tained shall be held to confer nat uralization upon the citizens of the United States in China, or upon the subjects of China in the United States. Art. 7. Citizens of the United States shall enjoy all the privileges of the public educational institu tions under the control of the Gov ernment of China, ami reciprocally, Chinese subjects shall enjoy all the privileges of public educational in stitutions under the control of the Government of the United States, which are enjoyed in the respect ive countries by the citizens or sub jects of the most favored nations. The citizens of the United States may freely establish and maintain schools within the Empire of China, at those places where foreigners are by treaty permitted to reside, and reciprocally, Chinese subjects may enjoy the same privileges and immunities in the United States. Art. 8. The United States, al ways disclaiming and discouraging all practices of unnecessary dicta tion and intervention by one nation, in the affairs or domestic adminis tration of another, do hereby freely disclaim any intention or right to intervene m the domestic adninns tration of China in regard to the construction of railroads, tele graphs or other material internal improvements. On the other hand, His Majesty, the Emperor of China, reserves to himself the right to de cide the time and manner, and cir cumstances of introducing such im provements within his dominions. ith this mutual understanding, it is agreed by the contracting parties that if, at any time here after, His Imperial Majesty shall determine to construct, or cause to be constructed, works of the char acter mentioned within the Empire, ami shall make application to the United States, or any other Wes tern Power, f r facilities to carry out that policy, the United States will, in this case, designate and au thorize suitable engineers to be employed by the Chinese Govern ment, and will recommend to other nations an equal compliance with such application, the Chinese Gov ernment in that case protecting such engineers in their persons and property, and paying them a rea sonable compensation for their services. In faith whereof, the respective plenipotentiaries have signed this treaty, and have hereunto affixed the seals of their arms. Done at Washington, the 4th day of July, in the year of our Lord, 18G8. William II. Seward, axsox i lt rlixo ame, Ciiill-Kano, Sux-Ciiia-Ku. Go for Him. Where is the Rev erend or eminent man who will "put a head" on the editor of the Yolo Mail for the following: As our other shirt was not brought home in proper season this week we called on our washer woman to learn the cause. Trem blingly she whispered to us the cause of the omission : " You see, sir, there are so many preachers and eminent men in town this week that I dare not hang out my clothes to dry." Sadly we returned to the office, pondering on the wisdom of woman. A bad little Chicago boy, who had been inveigled into a Sunday school the daafter specie began to be paid out, kept pretty quiet until he saw the collection plate passed, on which were several dol lars in silver, when he turned to a companion and said, "Hey! Billy, there's silver on that plate for Christ's sake!" The teacher, a nice young woman, took him across her knee and fanned him with her hand. Thaideus Stevens' Opinions. Was Thaddeus Stevens, "the great commoner," also "the great repudiator," because he opposed paying " bloated speculators twice the amount they were entitled to? Was he in favor of " tarnishing the national honor?" Will the Ore gonian answer these questions? We publish Jbclow the speech of Mr. Stevens, made in Congress on the 1 7 tli of July, 18G8, -which Ave consider an excellent argument in favor of an equitable adjustment of the bonded debt of the United i States. It is true he differs widely from our able and distinguished (?) Senator, Mr. Corbett, who, in his recent letter to Judge Wilson, de mands that the bondholders shall be paid in com. This, however, is easily accounted for. Corbett is largely interested m the Portland X-ational Bank and the Govern ment bonds which it holds; while Stevens was only a "Commoner" and unwilling to oppress an over taxed people in order to pay "bloated speculators" twice as much as we agreed to do. Below will be found extracts from the debate in Congress on the funding bill of 1808. We reprint from the Congressional Globe, Part Y, Second Session of Eortieth Congress, pages 4177 and 4178, the debate being on an amend ment to the funding bill offered by Mr. Butler, and said amendment being withdrawn, Mr. Thaddeus Stevens said : Mr. Speaker. I renew the amendment to the amendment, for A 1 f t me purpose oi saving a word in regard to what has fallen from members here. I am in favor of funding bill which shall reduce the interest of our bonds. If no per son shall choose to fund under such a bill, no harm will be done any person should choose to fund under it at a lower rate of interest than we now pay, we gain by it Hence I am in favor of a biil o this kind : whether this is exactly the right kind of a bill or not will not criticise, except that think it is a tolerably fair one. I think, however, that the lowest rate of interest must be four per cent.; 1 do not think that you can get money cheaper than that. And I will go father and say that I do not think, as long as the five-twenty gold interest-bearing bonds are outstanding, that anybody will ever fund a dollar under this bill. Why should they? But when those five-twenty bonds are paid off, I have no doubt that large investments will be made both at home and abroad in a loan of this character. I think, therefore, that it is the duty of the Government, with the gold which is accumulat ing hi its Treasury every year, to expend at least half the amount in redeeming the five-twenty bonds in advance of their falling due. After they fall due then no one can obiect to their redemption. I understood the gentleman from Illinois 3Ir. Ross who first spoke upon this subject to say that he understood that our outstanding bonds should be paid according to the principle of the Xew York plat form. What is that platform ? Mr. Ross. To pay the five-twenties in lawful money. Mr. Stevens, of Pennsylvania. You mean by "lawful money" Mr. Ross. Greenbacks; that is your doctrin and mint. Mr. Stcvens,of Pennsylvania. I hold to the Chicago platform, and, as 1 understand it, to the Xew York platform, upon these bonds; that these bonds shall be paid just according to the original contract. Mr. Pike. According to the spirit and letter of the contract. Air. rarnsworth. According to the law. v Air. Stevens, of Pennsylvania. What was the law? That bonds of a certain amount should bi-ar five per cent, interest in gold. X"ow, up to the time that they fall due we must pay them faithful!-. After they fall due they are payable in money, just as the gentleman un derstands "money," just as I under stand it, just as we all understand it when we passed the law author izing that loan ; just as it was a dozen times explained upon the floor by the chairman of the Com mittee of Ways and Means Air. Stevens when" called upon by gen tlemen to explain what.it meant, and just as the whole Mouse agreed that it meant. Here the hammer fell. Air. O'Xeill obtained the floor. Air. Stevens, of Pcnsylvania. I should like to have one or two min utes more. Air. O'Xeill. I will yield to ray colleague for one or two minutes. Air" Stevens, of Pennsylvania, I NO. 28. -0 want to say Jhat if this loan was to be paid according to the intima tion of the gentleman from IHinQ;, Mr. Ross; if lj knew that any party in this country would go 1 or paying in coin that which if "paya ble in money, thus unhancing it one-half; if 1 knew there was such a platform and such a determina tion this day on tli.q part of any party, I would votojfor the oilier side, Erank Blair and all. I would vote for no such swindle upoiPthe Jax-payers of this country ; I would vote for no such speculation in favor of the large bondholders, the mil lionaire?, who - took ad vantage of our folly in granting them coin payment of interest. And I declare well, it is hard to say it but if even Erank Blair stood upon the platform paying the bonds according to the contract, and the Republican candidates stood upon the platform of paying bloated speculators twice the amount which we aguced to pay them, then I would vote for Erank Blair, even if a worse man than Seymour headed the ticket. That is all I want to say. Mr. Ross. The Democratic doors are still open, and we will take the gentleman in. -Jferald. Stephen F. Chadwick. The nominee of the Democratic party for the responsible position of Secretary of State was born in the State of" Connecticut, where he resided until of proper age to com mence the study of profession, the law. These studies he pursued f3r fivti years in Xcw York City, and when completed, started for Ore gon to make it his home, arriving here in 1850, (we think.) He im mediately identified himselfOwith the Democratic party, making the first speech at the first Convention held under the Territorial Govern ment, at which Hon. James W. X"esmilh presided, fu;d from then until now he has adhered to its principals with an unswerving fidelity. He has held various and, important trusts under both Terri torial and State Governments, all of which have beccn discharged with credit to himself and satis faction to the people and party A- X A. who placed him there. Among the positions thus filled, were Dep-. uty U. S. District Attorney, Prose- cuting Attorney, member of Con stitutional Convention, Judge of County Court, two terms, Elector and Messenger at our last election, and others of minor importance, not now necessary to enumerate- Like all the candidates on our State ticket, Air. Chadwiek has a clear party record and his private no is above reproach. O Ah. Chadwiek has many warm neims, uoin political ana personal, which was proven by his receiving ne .lominaiion at iiuany, unsolic ited on his part. He has the quahncations to make a prompt, efficient and couateous officer, and posessing the requsite cgal knowledge to frit the station with ability. Wc do not hesitate to say, that under his re ft one. neither his friends nor the people of Oregon will have any cause for complaint. Air. Gnadwick s manners are affable his social qualities of a ugh order his party fealty unques tionable, and Ave predict for him large majority in June, and a warm welcome to the capital next an, as uie secretary oi mate lor the young and thrifty States of Oregon. In conclusion wc append a notice clipped from the Middleton, (Conn.,) Sentinel, published on the eve of their State election, which resulted in a Democratic victory : The Democratic Ssate Conven tion for Oregon met last week, and put in nomination a full State, ticket. Eor Secretary of State, Ave notice they have selected our old friend and subscriber, S. E. Chad Avick, Esq., formerly of this city. Air. Chadwiek is one of the most prominent men in Oregon, ands deservedly popular Aritli the people. If Ave rightly remember, made the first speech before the first Demo cratic Convention in that State, Territory. Ed. Pkess. He is a gentleman of decided ability, and of positive principals. His many friends of Connecticut Avillbc glad to hear of his election. Press. - Twelve or thirteen years ago a Vermouter having heard "3hat you can't make a whistle out of a pig's tail " did convert a porcine's dor sal extremity into a Avhistle, and it Avas placed on exhibition in Bar neum's Aluseum.
