THE OREGON QUESTION.

A contest for Oregon would not, of course, be car
ried on simply for its intrinsic value as land W.
have enough for present use without il; and when
we want more, we can "annex" better TO our south
western frontier. Nor would it be war for the
sole purpose Of checking this encroachment upon
what we esteem our own; but rather war against
the extension Of European influence upon the west
ern hemisphere. The recent course Of the British
and French governments, in most unnatural con-
junction, certainly indicates that the "balance o.
power upon this continent is not an idle fancy OF
NJ Guzot, but ''fxed idea" which these gov.
assduous but Intellectual attempts to prevent the
annexation of Texas; and still more recently,
see their outrageous interference with the affairs oil
the Argentine republic in the south. Our govern.
ment will not probably NEEDLE with their plans
south Of the equator; but trust II will that
cqualizng scale is applied north oft.
We anticipate some very decisive demonstrations
by the next Congress. Whatever they may be
they will receive the prompt approval Of the Of
the people of all parties. Very few are still SO stu
pd as not to see that the only way to preserve hon.
or, and the surest way TO avert war, to talk with
planness and act with vigor. Is Oregon ours
Well, let us have SHE ichoie or none" Henceforh
let this be our motto Daniel Webster and Others
may embarrass the government il they cam They
are the men who resisted the last war--who dscou-
ragged .enistments- to starve men already in
the service shouted when our capital was burnt
and declared it "unbecoming a moral and religious
people to rejoice at the victories Of arms Their
anti-Amercan instinct is again visible; but they
form scarce function Of the great mass to whom
our national honor is committed.

A SKETCH OLA CONSISTENT DEMOCRAT

If we were asked to look through The Interior OF
Pennsylvania, and say who is the oldest dernoctet
that we now recoect as having figured upon the
stage Of public action, from our early years up to
the present time we would point Instantly to Fran.
chs II. Skunk. We well remember when he first
came 10 HARRISBURG from Montgomery, that old
fashioned county Of JeHeteonidn democracy, and
was appointed clerk Of the House Of Representa-
tiyes. Since ths' time--for VT hare been journey
ing with him. with our press for about Thrifty Yeats
we have many clerks in our State and National
legislature but have never met one that came SO
fully up to our pattern ola good clerk as Mr.. Skunk.
He wrote beautiful hand, read well, and never
failed 10 please the members. Being AN excellent
lawyer, finished scholar, and possessing mind OF
great power, it used to lie forelold OF him, years
ago that he would eventually reach the executive
chair Mr.. s., after residence of some Years IN
Harrisburg, married the daughter of Gov. Finday
then one of the most lovely and accomplished ladies
in the commonwealth. During the recess Of the
legislature, he attended to his profession at Harris
burg.
After Governor Ritncr was elected, Mr.. Skunk
was appointed secretary of the canal board of Penn
sylvana, an Office then of very great responsibility
recurring talents of the first order. He remained in
that Office till David n. Porter elected governor
when ne wits Invited 10 take the Office of secretary
of the common wealth under that gentIeman's admin.
stration. AT the end of Governor Porter's first term
Mr. Skunk removed to Pit,sburg, where he resided
and practsed law, when he received the NOMINATION
of the party in IA.
The gubernatoria contest was one Of unusual
warmth, the members of each party pressing with
fiery zedl all they could against the candidate they
opposed; and.y6t, Notwithstanding this trying ordeal
no spot or blemsh was found Upon the fair fame o.
our democratic candidate, And failing III their AS
sault upon his moral character, portion OF the OPP
position got up most ridiculous story about his
iramping on the American flag, which may for thu
time have deceived few, but which is not nov
credited by any one. That statesman, patriot
and private citizen like Mr.. Skunk should have beer
elected governor Is exactly wha, ough, to have beer
expected. Indeed, we might go further. and say
that he was precisely the candidate that the party re
qured to carry the democracy through the might,

TRAVELS OF A SCOTCH CRAFTSMAN.

On looking over Tait's Magazine, we find very
excellent review of work, written by "A Crafts
man. from Scotland, who passed some time in this
country and short time in Canada, and AFTER
wards returned home and wrote history of his
travels. In his work he gives pretty fair picture
of society in this country. We apprehend, few if
any ofthe people, whom this Scotchman visited, or
with whom he resided while here, ever expected to
find their names paraded in book published on
the other side of the Atlantic. His observations
on the people of this country bear the genuine stamp
of truth, nor can it be supposed that the politeness
of his reception was made up for the occasion:
