LATER FROM OREGON.

Much has been said recently on this coun-
try in relation to the establishment of anews-
paper in the Oregon Territory. We can now
sc; the matter at rest. We have during this
week shipped for Oregon one of Hoes best
printing presses, several fonts Of type from
the foundry of Mr.. Whire, supply of parer
from White and Sheffield, and printing ink
from Mr.. Mather's factory.
1t may be asked why these articles are sent
to that remote region. We reply that some
eighteen months ago a government was
formed" by the white settlers, similar 10 that
of the territory Of Iowa. and sum of money
raised TO establish printing Office III the mis-
sionary station at the Willamettes.
We perceive that the editors Of the Sun
have received files of the Sandwich papers TO
the 4th Of September. which contain intelli-
gcuce from the Oregon territory to the 2d or
August.
The Legislature Of Oregon adjourned a
few days before the Sd of July, having passed
some important laws. One of their acts is.
ANY person who shall make, sell or give a.
way ardent spirits in the territory of Oregon
South of Columbia River, shall forfeit and
nav 500 for each an every such offence. -
The Legislature is called the Legislative
Committee" and consists Of nine persons c.
lected by the people.
The officers Of the Oregon Territory con-
sist of three Governors, called the Executive
Committee, = Supreme Judge and Legisla-
tive Council. The laws are the same as
those governing the Territory of Iowa. The
Government is purely Democratic Republi-
can. Doctor Babcock is the Supreme
Judge The ramc of only one Of the Gov

"Siuce the arrival in Oregon of the Rev.
Mr.. Garay, some important changes have
been going on at the Methodist mission, of
which he is superintendent. The Indian
school has been discontinued and the build

CASSIUS VI. CLAY,

In a letter from Lexington to the Boston At
las, takes the strongest ground against the
admission Of Texas into the Union. and
heartily seconds the movements in Massa-
chuseits against il. His letter is vehemen
in its tone on the subject of slavery. II
says:
'-Ibelieve the great Wing party North OF
the line is prepared now 10 admit, that, in
loosing the moral power Of opposition to
Texas. as SLAVERY question. we los; all: For,
whilst the South, under democratic" rule,
WIS prepared TO sacrifice allihuss to slav cry.
the Wings. ofnecessi,y, were doomed to
loose many votes in the North upon minor
questions. thus enabling the consolidated
votes ofthe South, sided By the Office seek
ers Of the North, TO carry the day. Until.
therefore, the spirit of liberty, in the free
S:etes shall! become as strong and control-
ing as the power of slavery here all will con-
tinue TO be lost.
tell you the time has now come when the
friends Of liberty and the craven slaves OF
des7otsm must stand apart Wide as the
great Atlantic is the ground which bencelorth
shall divide the advocates and the opponents

From Congress, we learn that on Mon
day several circumstances on the subject
ofTexas were presented. On presenting
the resolutions of the State of Louisiana
favorable to annexation, Senator Barrow
said he was not aware that his colleague
designed to make any remarks upon these
resolutions, but least his own opinion
should be mistaken, and taken to be the
same as expressed by his colleague, he
wished it distinctly understood, that at no
time and under no circumstances, would
he give his vote for the scheme for the
annexation ofTexas to the United States.
He then assigned his reasons therefore.
There was nothing of moment in the
House.-Al5dny Daily AdU.

ANNEXATION OF TEXAS.

The New York Evening Post, the most
ably conducted Loco Foco paper in the
country, boldly denounces the scheme
lately adopted in the House of Represen-
tatives for the annexation of Texas. It
saws -
1.-THE bill is combination of fraud and
oppression 1t has been obtained BY an
audacious, INSCRIPTIONS and tyranlcai
use of the power Of majority, on the one
hand, and on the other, while 1t f'aud-
plently holds out the idea of compromise
between the free and slave interests, IN
point of fact seizes Texas and the whole
ofTexas, for the sole benefit ofthe south.
In the first place, the 36th parallel OF
latitude is taken as the line above which
free states are to exist But Texas does
not reach that line by at least $50 miles,
not one square foot oc Territory, north of
the 36th parallel-not one square foot of
free terfito!y-will be acquired by the
annexation of Texas, on the basis ofthis
bill.
In regard to the vast territory lying
south ofthe line--in other words, the
whole of Texas proper-a similar fraud is
practiced. The states as large as New
York, which may he carved out of this
territory, are to be annexed on free or
slave basis, according as they see tit
themselves. Texas is and must be pep
pied almost exclusively ty shareholders
BY emigrants from the southern and south
western states and thus according to this
very fair plan, after being, by This, bill
peopled by shareholders, and well stocked.
with slaves, the new states have the op-
ton left them of coming into the Union as
free or as slave states. In a word, by
this bill fire Stare states arc a6dedtO this
eOntedrGcy.
So gross an outrage has not been per-
peira;ed since the formation of the govern
ment By mere majority vote without
any consultation ofthe people themselves,
BY Congress elected without the slight |
est reference TO the question, the basis Of
the compact is entirely changed A for
eign ma ion Incorporated into the repub-
lie, the representation of property enor-
mously extended the blight and mildew |
q slavery uHGer tEe auspices OF tAe lco-
eral government fastened upon ne'r and I,
vast territory, the far greater proportion
of which is vel unsettled, and the whole !
subsisnta power of the coun;Ty forever
transferred to the slave-holding states /
Bv no such measures, in no such spirit, |
was this Union established. BY nc such !
measures in no such spirit can it be rail- !
tanned
If local combination can thus wrest
and pervert the power of Il majority -
thus entirely disregard not only the wishes |
but the rights ofthe minority ifthis thing
can with impunity be accomplished, it is
idle to suppose that FOR any great length of
time, this government will answer the
purposes for which it was created.
