HIsroRy or OREGON by 1noNAL J. FAREHAN author OF
Travels in the Great Western Prcires. Scenes IN the
Pacific, &c sc.
This work has just been issued in neat pamph-
let OF 80 pages, with map, from the Press OF j..
Winchester. Mr. Farnham, after giving succinct
history Of Oregon, devotcs the greater part OF his
Suites to that Territory, entering into an elaborate
igumeni, which he iorties with copious extracts
rom various authorities to sustain his position. He
arrives at the following conclusions That Oregon
belongs TO the United States by purchase from
Spain, the sole discover and first occupant OF its
coast; By purchase from France to whom England,
BY the treaty OF Versailles relinquished the claim 10
it; and by our own discovery and prior occupancy
OF Columbia River.

T,he National Ftnances-The National Dent
-XIho created it!

There is now existing very considerable Deol
due by the Federal Government, mainly created
ia time of profound peace, against every dictate
Of sound policy. Who is responsible for the crca-
ton of this Debt The Loco-Focos charge 1t
upon the Ways, and Immediately upon the last
OF XXvIIlh Congress. We utterly deny 1t, and
appeal to the record. The charge has been made
m an Official document Report Of Committee OF
WAYS and Means to the House, in favor OF break
ing down the Tariff that the last Congress Is
responsible for Sl9,000,0O0 Of this Debt. This
grossly unjust statement has called out Hon. d.
D. BARNARD Of this State, OF the minority OF that
Committee, who in & Letter to the National In
telligenccr has thoroughly traycrsed the whole
ground, and elected the undenlablc truth his
ctter is quite long, and we are compelled to con-
dense its statements, but we shall endcavoI to
present it's leading facts as clearly as possible
Let us begin by vindicatlng the last wan bu-
ens) Administrators We have done twice
oeforc-on point whcrcon it has been repeatedly
,ssai!ed enormously: 1t is currently stated, and
IN good faith that the expenses OF Mr.. Van Bu-
EMS three first years were nearly Forty Millions
Der annurn. and of his four years over One Hun
lfod and Forty Millions. This charge is based
On an Official statement made during his Pfesl-
dency from the Treasury, and grew out OF silly
attempt to conceal the existence ola Public Debt.
The Administration required and obtained IN
1887 an issue of Treasury Notes to meet the
pressing wants ofthe Government, but would not
allow that these notes constituted a Public Debt
In 1887. Congress inquired the amount Of ES-
pendturcs for each OF the preceding three years
erclusirc Of payments on accounted Pu6f'c De6f'
OF course, an answer was returned which, not
recognizing the redemption of Treasury Notes as
redemption of Debt, swclled the Annual Expenses
enormously by the whole amount OF such redemp-
ton, making it some One Hundred and Twelve
Millions for the three preceding years This has
been very generally assumed as the true amount
But, correcting this Official misstatemcnt, the
actual current Expenditures Of Mr.. Van Buren's
fnur wears were as follows:

extraordinary facts, proving strongly enough the
existence Of the mysterious element oil the human
organization known as Ussmerism, but leaving the
subject glnmering in darkness. We wish the Med

commence thorough and searching investigation
of this question. We might then perhaps hope for
some useful results

Dlleling.

The Albany Atlas makes ludlcrous blunder
in attempting to assail Mr. Clay on the ground OF
Dueling. The case of Gen. Jackson comes in
Its eye, and it thus speaks of Old Hickorys duels
and the Wings comments on them:
"They refuse to consider the camp habits and military tone
of mind ofhe Democratic President for his fault
his great public ose, Ia IL They pardon duel
o an .oSs ' For ar as e e @ to
man who has taken out the warfare OF the
legislative hail. with considerable reputation. should content
himself with the implements OF his profession and repe insult
and cRumny other attorneys d. without uung the arms
OF the soldier"
This is peculiarly rich when we consider that
Gen. jackson was no soldier at all, but an attOr-
nsy-yes, a bone tide lawyer, so far as he had ca.
pacity to be one-when he shot Mr.. Dickinson
dead in duel, growing out of quarrel at horse
race. The Atlas has put its foot in it very badly
in this place.
There is just one thing to say about Ducls-
they are all wrong, and every way unjustifiabe.
But we have sometimes thought the parties often
deserve compassion as the victims of false and
perverted Public Opinion. A man is lnsuted or
slandered, and, in certain portions of the Union,
he is sneered at as sneak and poltroon if he does
not call out his adversary. Noble are they who
can despise this false opinion and disregard it
but we cannot single out the combatants as espe-
eially deserving OF reProach in community
where Dueling is an established usage 1t is only
an accident whether they or their aeighbors are
tie victims of this barbarian code. We detest
Dueling, Just as we detest any form of human
slaughter-we do not see how it is better or worse
than War-but We do not regard an individual
warrior in any form necessarily better or worse
than his neighbors.
We never knew Gen. Jackson assaIled on the
simple ground that he had been engaged IN duel
or duels. He was assailed for cooly shooting
Dickinson dead after the latter had lest his fire,
and for writing afterward very savage letter OF
exultation about it. AS the story was told, 1t GER
tainly was a black one, but it may have been en-
agrerated. Amos kcndalps account of it is a
little better

As a new Convention vas soon afterwards, called we withheld the circulation of that address, for the time. The new Convention, which assembled on the 18th April, passed reso- lution adopting the address, already prepared and printed, their own and providing for its dstriba- ton over the State, under their sanction and author ity. In conformity with these facts, we have pre- pared the Address for distribution Iii now ready in~handsome pamphlet form, and wish to place il in the hands of those whose duty it is (and surely it is the duty Of every DemoeraD to aid in its gene ra circulation throughout the Sate It is desirable to apportion t among te several counties, as nearly as practicable, according to population.
