oregon---Gen. Lime.


We print to-day, we presume for the first time, the
message of Gen. Lane to the Territorial Legislature
of Oregon. It was forwarded to us in manuscript,
there being yet printing Office in the Territory.
We suppose this to be the only copy in this country,
unless one was forwarded TO Washington by the same
mail, for official information. We publish il in full.
not only because the people of Indiana will be glad
to hear from their noble feoi0-citizen such we
happy still to regard him, since his election from
Office by Tayor,-bui also because the message en-
braces important information of the far-of territory
which will be interesting to every citizen. Not only
this the message is marked by that manly bearing
and straight forwardness eminenty characteristic of
10. Lane-patriotic sensible and entirely free from
hunbug. This document will put Gen. Lane right
before the public eye, and will convince those who
may have doubted. that he is a Of more than
binary capacity; of sound judgment, and strong
practical common We have known him to be
all this for than ten years: others have not, be-
cause his modesiy Of feeling, and disregard of self
elevation, is remarkable any other trait Of his
character. When he returns, our people, we know.
will force him to overcome that modesty, and will
place him high in public station, that no Taylor,
nor the sou of Tailor, can pull him down
The letter of Judge Bryant will also be read with
interest especially by his acquaintance of this State,
who well know his stateineL.s may be fully relied
upon. All we fear is that these glowing facts in re-
ference to Oregon will eniice too many of our cti-
zens to go there. But who would desire to go. II

| The u. S. TREAsuRY.-The Washington Union
states, that ample provision was made by the last
Congress- not only for the civil and diplomatic
penses of the government, but for the army, navy,
India department. and for every other branch Of the
public service. Ample provision also made for
payment Of the interest the public debt, for the
contingent expenses of the departments and bureaux,
and for the payment of all just claims. Yet the Sec
rotary of the Treasury has come forward and demand
ed Of Congress to add over sir millions to the
expenses Of the present year. And for the next year
he has demanded over forty-four miAions-making an
aggregate amount of more than FlFTY-ONE MIL
LIONS OF DOLLARS 10 Be saddied upon the people
in the shape Of additional and debt in the pery
first year of the existence Of the present adwinistrd-
tion. For, inasmuch as the current of the
year will not exceed S35 ,O00O 900, there will, of
course exist deficit in the treasury Of at least six
teen million of dollars which is be supplied by adj
dtional taxation, or by increase Of the national
debt.
! ora humbugging communication appears in the
State Journal of the 10TH signed by L. B. McKin-
ney, announcing his withdrawal from the Democratic
party! y! The principal reason which lie gives is
as follows:

with the democratic party. should not have felt it
/ incumbent upon suddenly to sever my connec-
ton with the latter. We had knares enough in our
party before
We wonder that the Journal could be foolish enough
to publish such stuff as that. The fellow is a fool
as well as knave. by bis confession that if

Gov. WRIGHT's INAUGURAL ADDREss.-The Gin
cinnat Gazette, gives syllabus of this document.
1t quotes in full the paragraph relative to the too
common disposition to diccuss national questions in
our State Legislatures and says
.sThese are sentiments in which every honest poll
tician. well every sensible man, will fully
cur with Governor Wright.
"The ordinary loquacty of members of State Leg
islatures on local questions is tiresome and foolish
enough; but when to these ia added their oracuar and
verbose pomposity in the discussion of national ques
tions IL is to be wondered that the time of
sion wears away without accomplishing the business
for which they elected, and that the people so
soon lose confidence in their legislators, and so Of
ten change them.
Governor Wright has struck good key"
Considering the high position of the Gazette
wing paper, its compliments of no little value.
6rThe Washington Union says:-We do not be-
lieve that the Democratic Senate viii make factious
opposition TO the Presidents appointments 1t will
undoubtedly reject for good cause, and that will prob
ably require more reJecrons than have been made at
any former session of that body.
The Washington correspondent of the ~ Y. Jour-
nal Of Commerce says-''ihe administration is in q
helpless and hopeless minority in both Houses-hope-
less because there are a dozen nominal Wing and
Taylor who, in less than week, will exhibit the
most decided hostility. The administration will lose
strength. instead of gaining it, in the House.

Of chemistry in Harvard University. and that the

in Boston. $1,000 offered by the relatives of DR..
Pa,kman for the recovery Of his missing body, OF
$4,000 for proof sufficient to convict the murderer
variety Of circumstances at last render II almost
certain that Professor Webster is the murderer, and
he is now in prison. The excitement Of the .aeoplc
