FRoM OREGoN.--Within few days we have
read several letters from gentlemen in Oregon, writ.
ten at the close Of the spring, which speak Of some
suffering in consequence OF great freshets, caused
by excessive rains during the early part of the
son. Lands that had not before been known Ia
overflow, were submerged, and good deal of in
Jury was done to crops and buildings. The same
letters speak of the continued arrival Of emgrants
over the mountains Some of these had suffered
much during their journey, particularly the latter
part of it, from want of food Cases are mentioned
Of great restitution, and one instance Of family
not having particle of food remaining when they
reached the settlement The writers give it their
opinion that persons advanced in life should not at
tempt to pass by land from the States TO Oregon.
They find unexpected difficulties, and some which
their strength cannot surmount. Some of the last
emigrants will add energy and strength and moral
worth to the present feeble population Of Oregon;
and there is now a nucleus formed, which, with
discreet management, will give importance to that
fast-growing region.
The writers speak of the excitement pending the
first election for government officers. Although so
far removed, as il may be thought here, from po-
tical STRIFE the citizens of Oregon had their caucus
meetings, and popular meetings, very much the
same they had been accustomed to in the States.
There were two parties, as we have before men
tioned--the Hudson Bay Company, and the
American cmigrants the result was In favor of the
latter by a large majority.-E Y. Jour- Com

DEmocRATic CRY CONVENTION meeting oil
the democratic city convention of Baltimore, held
on the 10th October, 1845 the following preamble
and resolutions Were adopted:
Whereas the principle of rotation in Office is one
universally adopted by the democratic masses as
right and just in ITSELF and especially when the
incumbent has long enjoyed the advantages arising
from public situation, and still more so when
that incumbent is political opponent, is contin-
ually vibrating in his political opinions and where
much dissatisfaction has been expressed by the
democracy of this city, that removals which have
been confidently expected since the election OF
President Polk, have not yet taken place, notwith-
standing the loud and unanimous outcry for such
changes: and whereas, Notwithstanding these just
Of dissatisfaction the result of the recent
elections has most honorably and emphatically
shown, that whatever may be the grievances felt in
this matter yet when the contest is for great prin
cpes, private or even party grefs sink into nsig-
nihcance and are forgotten and the security of vic
tory over our political opponents is alone kept in
view: and whereas the battle having now been
fought, and new wreaths added to the fame of our
democratic city, the party can again turn its attention
to its own affairs, and will therefore deem the pres
ent an appropriate time for this convention freely
and frankly to express its deliberate opinion upon
matter in which we think the MISUNDERSTOOD
will and wishes of the purity have been overlooked,
to tsgreat grievance, and with manifest cause fol
dissatisfaction
Therefore, resolved, That this convention, duly
elected to represent the democratic party Of this
city, do most earnestly protest. in the name Of that
party, against the indisposition which seems To
exist to remove from Office many ofthe present in.
cumbcnts, some of whom have never been mum.
bered in the ranks of the democracy; Others having
enjoyed their situations for long term OF years
and under administrations Of every denomination
while others again have amasscd from theirsalaries
and perqusitcs, comfortable, if not even affluen,
means Of subsistence, making their longer contin.
Resolved, That the said preamble and resolution
be signed by the officers Of the convention, and be
published in the Republican and Daily Argus
at Baltimore, and the "Daily Union" at Wash
ington.

PmLApELPHIA, Oct. 20, ls45.
In noticing the complexion of the next legisla-
ture in my letter of the 18th, placed Mr.. Foulk-
rod of this county in the list of retiring senator's
and your compositor added the word "whign after
his name. Mr.. Foulkrod does not 70 out, but Mr..
Eneu, democrat. Mr.. Foukrod is democrat OF
the sternest character, and has always occupied a
high place in the confidence Of his political friends
These errors are vexatious, but they frequently
cur in the best of families. We have gained no
senator in this county. Mr.. Benner (dem.) takes
the place Of Mr.. Eneu, also democrat.

Miss Charlotte Cushman, the justly celebrated
American (or Phiadelphia) actress, now in Europe,
was playing, at the last accounts, a most brilliant
engagement at Manchester, England. Her success,
as 1t has been my good fortune to learn from Of
her own letters to friend in this city, is graf
flying. Her performances have been witnessed by
hosts of persons, and have everywhere elected
wonder and applause. Her numerous engagements
have compelled her to decline most desirable offer
from Macready; but there is no doubt that she will
always command the best business and realize
handsome profits. Her lovely sister Susan is now
making the tour of the continent with those de-
lightful writers, William and Mary Howitt--a proof
that she is as much respected abroad as she is at
home.

These examples would seem to be sufficient to
prove conclusively to the most unprejudiced mind,
that the main object of the present tariff is to pamper
and enrich the manufacturer at the expense of all
other classes of the community. But, stamp this
character of favoritism ndelibly upon it, will mem
ton one more instance.
The tariff imposes on all silk fabrics specific du-
ty, which, reduced to an equivalent nd vaorem,
ranges from % to 40 per cent? on woollen manufac-
tures 40 per cent; on cotton, or of which that is
component part, from 30 to l62 per cent. There is,
however, clause in it, which admits castings,
prunellas, and similar fabrics, in strips, not specified,
for the manufacture Of buttons, !" at per cent ad

iect" the large button manufacturers in Massachu-
