1t would perhaps have been correct to have de-
nominated Gov. Qaitman whig up to the period Of
the annexation of Texas. Hash. Union.
If the Union feels called upon to meddle with the
affairs of our State, and assist in the elevation of the
partizans of Fillmore & Co. to power it should at
least be restrained by the bounds of truth. 1t does
great injustice in the foregoing lines, to Gen. Quitman
and the Democratic State Rights party of Mlssissip
pi, whose standard he bears. Gen. Quitman has al
ways been Democrat in the strictest sense. He
has ever beer consistent in the advocacy of Demo-
cratic measures. Did the sapient editor ever know
of his advocacy of National Bank, Protective
Tariff, Internal Improvement by the Federal Govern
ment, any Of those measures which have been
advocated by the Federal Wing party! He never
was furious supporter of National Bank, nor a
loud-mouthed adnlator of Henry Clay. as Foote was
in 1889. He has always opposed the assumption Of
undelegated powers by the Federal Government; and
hence his consistent supper: of the measures for
which the Democratic party has ever contended.
1t is reproach upon the large number Of delegates
in the Baltimore Convention in lS4S, who voted fol
the nomination of Gen. Qutman for the Vice Presi.
dency, assert that they were urging the claims ol
an individual who had been attached to the Demo
cratic party but four years and would advise :he
Union when it wishes to do Fillmore & Go. service
not to be betrayed into assertions, whose absurdity
and falsty are carried upon their faces.

We copy the following letter from Oregon Terri

We copy the following letter from oregon Ierri-
tory, from the Washington Union:
ASTORIA, (Oregon Territory June 7, 1851.
To the Editor Of the Union: SIR: The contest
IN Oregon for delegate to Congress has resulted in
the triumphant election of General Joseph Lane, the
Marion of the Mexican war. His vote will be quite
large. and his majority over 1900.
By this election the people have demonstrated their
abiding confidence and attachment to the principles
of Democracy, and have spoken trumpet tongued
their condemnation of his administration for remov-
ing the hero and patriot from the post of Governor Of
Oregon Territory.
You will recollect the fierce assault of Senator
Ewing upon Gen. Lane. Wha. will the butcher now
say 1t is utterly false that Gen. Lane ever neg
lec,ed any interest committed duty enjoned upon
him. lie was ever foremost in the trying incidents
of this Territory. The people Of Oregon have given
full expression to their cordial approval of their
vices and merits in the election just passed.
Truth crushed to earth shall rise again;
The eternal years of God are hers. y
Yours, truly, .. ARlSTlDES.

1tappears, from the following from the New York
Express, that commander of a British steamer in
the harbor Of Rio Janeiro, BRAZIL has been guilty Of
very bold and unjus,able conduct to say the least
in relation to an American steamer. The Corespon.
dent of the Express, writing from Rio Janeiro under
date June IL, 1851; says:

day, which opportunity avail in making you &C.

out to the schooner with supplies, which were sup
posed BY the British officer to be for the maintenance
OF slaves, and on examination his suspicious were
verified. He instantly seized the steamer Sarah,
took her crew on board the Cormorant, and towed
her two miles from the harbor, where he ordered her

Messrs. Hobbs & Alvaringe represented the matter
to Mr.. Todd, the American Minister, who Immediate
ly repaired on board the Cormorant to demand an
explanation, which was given, but of very bung-
ing and unsatisfactory nature. Mr.. Todd has for.
warded the whole proceeding to Washington, and
gave the British officer to understand that reparation
and apology would be instantly demanded by his
Government.
The U. S. sloop of war Dale is in the harbor, and
our Minister had it in his power to infict fearful
chastisement the Cormorant, and on every soul on

him frequently while attending to his great clock
business in England and Ireland. The last time Mr..
Jerome saw him was soon after he was sentenced to
be transported for life. On bidding him farewell,
McManus looked round his room for something to
presen, to him token of remembrance. There
was nothing left but bottle of wine, McManus
having previously disposed of all his trinkets, &C., in
the way. He picked up the bottle, and handing
it to Mr.. Jerome said: Chauncy, take this bottle of
wine, and you and will have the pleasure of drink
ing it together sometime in New York. Don't draw
the cork until am present. Mr.. Jerome took the
bottle of wine. and has religeously abstained from
tasting ts contents to this hour but the day is near
at hand when the cork will be drawn, and the two

1t is singular fact, as stated by Mr.. Mordecai in
