The Senate has laid on the table, the pro-
position introduced by Mr.. Brccse, of Hi
nois, to give notice 10 England that the Uni
ted States desires to discontinue the joint
occupation of Oregon. 1t also laid on the
table the bill of Judge Semple, of Illinois,
intended to conduce to the speedy settle,
ment of Oregon. The Senate appears dis
posed to abide the pending negotiation on
the subject
The Fox river improvement bill has pass
ed the Senate by decisive vote. We be-
live that feature of the bill, by which the
land appropriated was to come out of our
100000 acres, was stricken from the bill.
We are not acquainted with the details oil
the bill, nor have we any idea as to what will
be its fate in the House.

We have the returns in full from this state
with the exception Of six towns The re-
suit is, as follows:
Baldwin, lwhig) 1851
Cleveland, (dem,) $500
Gillette, alb 1868
Baldwin thus far lacks 172 votes of an
election by the people, and the deficiency
it is supposed will be increased to about
400 by the returns yet to come in.
The Legislature stands, wing %, demo-
crat II; no choice, &c. The wings will have
majority in the legislature, which viii en-
able them to elect their governor.
The vote polled at this election, is the
largest ever polIcd in the state at appears
that the present wing vote is 755 less than
the same party polled for Governor in lS40,
and 1898 less than their vote at the Presi-
dental election in 1910 The democratic
vote, on the contrary, is 24l7 more than the
vote of the same party for Governor in April
IS40,-311S more than their vote at the
Presidential election in 1910, and 9S4 more
than their vote for Governor last year. So
it appears, that supposing the tariff to have
been the only question influencing the late
election, the democratic party stand better
in comparisea with the wing party than they
did at the gu5erEatorial election in 1902
There is surely no cause for dependency
with the democrats, in view of this result
If, at the present time, when in view of the
several names which will be up before the
national convention, there are distrusts, eal-
ouses, and hangings back in the democratic
ranks, the wings united and enthusiastic as
they are, cannot, in state as doubtful as
Connecticut always is, and which gave Har-
rison a majority of three thousand, elect their
Governor by the people, what shall we con-
clude as to futare results. After the Ma
tional Convention, the Democracy will come
into the field in unbroken phalanx, prepared
for victory. The wings have exulted much
lately, in view of victories claimed to have
been gained; yet when these victories are
analysed and compared with previous results,
they will be found to contain the certain
signs of future disaster and defeat

Our DELEGATE.-We have heard at va
rious times and from various sources, of the
unwearying industry of our delegate at Wa
shington, TO accomplish the several matters
desired for the good of the territory. What
ever may be the ultimate fate of our harbor
bill, we are satisfied that all that can be done
will have been done by him. In both the
canvasses by which he was twice elected to
Congress, we felt an honest conviction that
no man in the territory could accomplish more
for its interests ut Washington, than could
he. He entered on his duties at time
when it was supposed Congress had enough
to do to look after the immediate affirs of
the Union, without bestowing much atten-
ton upon the territories; but he has already
accomplished much. The bill for three har-
bors in the territory was got through the
House of Representatives at the last session
and defeated only by trickery in the Senate;
but Milwaukee got an appropriation, and the
bill for liarbor at Southport and Racine has
again been passed by the House of Repre-
scntatives. This intelligence is no less gra-
tifying than unexpected to OUR citizens, and
we believe they feel and will cherish the
warmest emotions of gratitude to General
Dodge, for his unwearied exeftions in their
behalf, as well as his devotion to the inter-
ests of the territory generally.
