Randall, withdrew the name ef Randall
from the list Of cadidaies and substituted
Mr.. Blake. When that was done, Mr..
Dennison nominated Is his candidate, Mr..
Lewis, but after couple Of .balIotings. that
gentleman withdrew his name, and the whig
Senators then went for Blake, as compli-
ment, we presume, for misrepresenting
the whistles OF his constituents. a
The Democratic Senators, after the de-
clension Of Mr.. Dsbbs, on yesterday, cast
their votes for Mr.. Necksom, whose age,
and services and strict attention to his Sena-
torial duties, would do honor to the station.
The yaunted proposition Of MIR. Beaver,
which was to have been presented to the
Senate yesterday at 10 o'clock, has not yet
seen the light Of day. Rumor speaks dis
cord in the tin pan Of whiggery, on this
subject, during the nights of Thursday and
Friday, which protracted the session, until
late hour, and which resulted in ordering
the Trumbull Senator to cave in, and to
keep bis proposition hid from Democratic
eyes, and the "Free Soiler who always votes
whig" obey ed the mandate of the whig
caucus.
Finding there was no hopes of an cleo
tion to-day, after repeated ballots for Speak

Hon. H. B. SpELMAN. DEAR SIR:-ln
answer to yours Of the l5:h inst, will
state that regard the institution Of slave
ry as grent national evil. and that | am
opposed to, it. ! believe that Congress has
the constitutional power to prohibit its ex-
tension into the territories Of the United
States. and that it is necessary and proper
;ha, it should be exerted for that purpose:
That Congress has The power TO abolish it
and prohibit the slave trade in the District
of Columbia; and that j, should be done:
That the General Government should be
absolved from all connection with that in
stitution. That there should be no more
states admitted into the Union with consti-
tutions toleraiiLg slavery: And that all
constitutional powers Of the general Gov
ernment should be exerted to circumscribe
it within its present limits. and abolish il
wherever it can be consiiluiionally done.
Notwithstanding, N the foregoing opinion.
am opposed 10 third party. organization,
as believe that every thing that even the
Free Soil party desires, can be gained by
carrying out those immutable principles OF
truth and justice first promulgated by that
great. apostle Of Democracy, the immortal
Thomas jefferson; and nop advocated by
the Democratic party. i.

OREGON LEGIsLATURE.-Ale letter from
Oregon says: The Legislature has just
closed its session of fifty five days. They
have adopted a code of laws mostly taken
from the Iowa statutes. Cne, however,
which may interest the people of the north,
is the prohibition oI"negroes and muliat-
oes" from settling in or passing through the
territory. This 1 am fully convinced, is
wholly contrary to the inclination Of the
