UrWe are permitted to copy the fol-
lowing extract from letter by an ex.mem.
Der of Congress, who is now in Washing
ton, written to friend in this place. II
will be seen that he entertains the opinion,
in common with many others, that the ad-
ministration have, or design, trading the
Tariff for Oregon. These rumors must
soon be verified, or falsifed. The rumors
seem TO be SO prevalent and are entertained
by so many who would not bestow mo.
ments attention upon them, were there not
grounds upon which TO rest them, that we
are inclined to regard them as true. We
hope, however, that il may turn out other.
wise; but should il not, we trust there is pa.
triotism enough in Congress to put stop
to such proceeding. The following is the
extract
1.-THE wal fever is much lower since the arrival
OF the Cambria. An opinion is enter tanned by
many that there has been for months, an under
standing between the two Governments. that the
Oregon question would be settled by the reduc.
ton OF the Tariffs Of both nations, and that on
4elh degree. think this probable. But il there
has been no such understanding, l think wal
certain, OF we must back OUT"

Sudden death Of the Governor Of De!a-
,Dare.-The Delaware Journal comes 10 US
dressed in mourning, on account of the
sudden death of Major Thomas Stockton,
the Governor of that State. He expired
suddenly on Monday evening, Cd inst,
while sitting in chair in the Office of the
clerk of the Orphans Court at Newcastle.
His health previously was good. and his
death therefore was the more unexpected,
and has created the deepest regret. He
was Captain in the U. S. Army during
the last war, and under Gen. Scott nobly
defended his country at Fort Ge' rye. and
other points on the frontier of Canada. By
his death, Dr.. Maull. president of the Sen.
ate, becomes ex.officio Governor Of the
State.

The Fayette Times says-'We learn from re.
liable sources that Charlton and Randolph will
give heavy msjorities against the new Constitu.
tion.' All CANNON, gentlemen! The people
are not 10 be sweyed by few revolutionists and
disappointed aspirants. They sent men to Jeffer.
son city whom they believed both honest and ca.
pable. They know those men consulted the in.
terests Of IL r constituents; and they will sup
port the constitution by heavy majorties.'-
Glasgow NeDs.
So. all those who oppose the new Consti.
tuition are branded a. ''revolutionists" and
disappointed aspirants." We are quite
certain we come under neither of these
heads. If the motives of those who favor
the new constitution were known, there
would doubtless be found as many actuated
by selfshness, as there possibly can be on
the other side. But such matters as these,
it is beneath the dignity of an Independent,
and disinterested press to bring forward in
connection with the disposal of so grave
o subject as that which is now before the
people of Missouri. When we see an in
strument attempted to be forced upon the
people, the provisions of which are at war
with Republican principles. and against the
dictates of reason and common sense, we
should feel that we had failed to discharge
our duty to the public were we to remain
silent. But, in speaking, we shall attemp,
to confine ourselves to the merits of the
subject under consideration; if drawn of
in self defence, as heretofore, we shall
speak plainly Of men and things.
The people will Judge their servants by
their works, and will act with an eye te
their future interests and welfare.

OOur thanks are due the Hon. D. r
Atchison, for public documents.

We have received communications from
different counties in this Congressional dis.

we would prefer seeing elected to Con.
gress in preference TO Gen. Wilson. But
in this miserably gerrymandered district.
