From Oregon.

We have received the Oregon Spectator Of the
18th of May, containing proceedings of the Logis-
lature then in session. also the Message of Governor
Lane to the Legislative Assembly, delivered on the
7th of the same MONTH 1t is plain, business docu-
ment-!just such message as might be expected
from the old General brief and satisfactory every
point
II will be recollected by the readers of the Senti-
nell that several slanderous letters were published
last winter in the New York Tribune signed Lans
dale,'' and noticed calumnies in the Sentinel
One of these letters purporng to be from protested
democrat in Oregon, in which, speaking of Governor
Lane he said:
"The associates of his Excelency appeared to be
selected not from the excellent of the EARTH but from
those who drank very much whskey that
celen and who had not left the excellent reputa
ton in the States. do not wish it to be inferred from
these remarks that have seen Governor drunk
that find fault with him for selecting his
GATES think he had perfect right TO do it, All
mean affirm is, that very large majority of ct-
do not approve of the taste evnced by him in select
ing his associates This much will say, however, that
although am LocofOco. you know, yet l would
be happy to learn that he had been removed"
This "Lansdale'.. now appears without a local
habitation, name in Oregon. AT an election for
member of the council to fill vacancy for the coun-
ty of Yam Hill o. T., in the town of Lafayette, on
uic tih Vi MAY, lou, tne lOiiOWing preamble and
resolutions were unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS A certain letter has this dav been read to
this meeting from the g New York Weekly Tribune :,
of January l9th 1850, dated Sept Sth Is49 over the
fictitious signature of Lansdale," grossly abusing our
esteemed citizen and chief executive officer Gov Lane
while pretending to represent his standing and influence
among the people Of Oregon:
ResOtDed That in the unanimous opinion of this
ing the charges contained in said letter against Gov
Lane are entirely without foundation; are false and
untrue; and if made by resident of this Territory
as they profess TO beare mcanly malicious, the
/ thor must have known better.
On motion of +. B. Martin,
Resored, That all who wish sustain the resolution
and Gov Lane, and condemn the letter and its autho
sign their the resolutions that the certificate
of the clerk of the District Court certifying that they
inhabitants of Yam Hill county, be attached the list
On motion, copy Of these proceedings and list o
the names is directed to be the Oregon Spec
tator, New York Weekly Tribune, and Washington
Union, for publication.
These resolutions were signed by hun
dred persons who participated in the meeting, which
are omitted unnecessary. General Lane appear
to be universal favorite amongst the people of Ore
gon. Lansdale, if he ever had an existence il
Oregon, must have felt very cheap.

You kindly Guild for me long years ago;
From some fair spot in earths fragrant bowers,
The purcst gift thy love could e'er bestow:
But, ah how faded poor, .huelcss roses
Dim emblem Of my own sad, bIighted youth,
Wherein each folded, rayess leaf reposes

They lightly hang upon my trembling fingers,
As though too light, too frail to bear the touch;
Yet round them such soothing sweetness fingers,

While gazing on my faded flowers of Earth;
And coldly hide the Maynard gush of feeling,
When pond'ring DER the past they shadow forth.
The harp Of memory, ever sweeiy waking
Some bright mementos from her pleasing store;
Each feeble nerve, with sweet emotion shaking,
Blends the dim Future with the light Of yore:
And as gaze in these enchanting hours,
Old hopes and joys that have forever flown,
Steal round me- with the light of these poor flowers
And Thou and Hope art mine, ahl yes, mine own.
But blighted dH,-delusive spell and flowers,
Back to your prison in my ioyless heart.
There to remain, Till fond, recalling powers,
Shall bid thee forth to life and beauty start
Alas! why should mourn the blossoms faded,
Or sigh for that which fingers not for mel
But rrho still the heart by sorrow shaded
And bid its wild complanings cease to be?

SJ=The editor of the Indiana Journal is quite in
dignan at the remark of the Sentinel in relation to
the anti-American sentiments of Thomas Corwin in
the Senate of the United States, on the Mexican
war; and he would get off on a bubble, as many
have attempted to do before him, that the precise
language of Mr.. Corwin has not always been quoted
We know, from the testimony of hundreds of brave
volunteers, then in Mexico, that when this infamous
speech was received, translated and published in
Spanish in the Mexican papers, that it produced
spontaneous gush of indignation against its author,
and he was burned in eligy, as, perhaps, might
have been The case with the author had he been pre-
sent Ii is easy TO pronounce the words infamous
falsehood" but we presume it will be hard for the
Indiana Journal to prove to the people of Indiana
that Thomas Corwin is patriot. He may say, that
Thomas Corwin, in revised publication of his
speech, modified his language but we dare the edi-
tor to publish tie passage from this Mexican speech
above alluded to-
There is no wonder the editor of the Journal feels
sensitive on this subject When Corwin's speech
made its appearance, it at dark period in the
Mexican war. The opposition to President Polk
had been wrought up to the most helish fury, and
such was the Journals confidence that all was lost
in Mexico, that on publishing Corwins speech the
editor, as is most usually the case with him, went
off half cooked, and declared in flaming characters.
''It is fixed fact that Thomas Corwin will be the
next President" CA regard for Wing principles
forbids the nomination Of General Taylorl''
