Truston Polk 5; Gen. Butler u Gen
Rusk ?.
On the ID ballot John c. Breckenridge,
of Kentucky, was unanimously nominated
Buchanans election is beyond doubt.
The appointment of A. F. Hedges, of
Cunemah, Oregon, as Superintendent of
Indian Affairs in Oregon Territory, in
place of Gen. Palmer, removed, has been
confirmed. Palmer, for the course pursued
by him during the present Indian war,
richly deserved removal from office and If
we are not much mistaken in the character
of Oregonians, he will fnd it matter Of
much difficulty to re-estabiSh the reputa-
ton so justly earned by him in the Cayuse
war.
As to Territorial affairs, nothing was
being done in Congress. At last adyices,
no quorum was present, June l6)-a large
number Of members being absent attending
the varions conventions. The 23d had
been, however, set apart for Territorial
business. There is strong probability
that an appropriation will be made to pay
volunteers and the expenses Of the Indian
war. Also bills making appropriations for
a mail steamer between San Francisco and
the Sound for carrying the mail upon the
Sound by steam; for rseveral military roads;
$40, 900 for the capitol building at Olympia; (;
$50, 900 for the penitentiary at Vancouver,
and for several other objects Of no little
Importance. We have reason to believe
that most, il not all, of these measures will
pass. .....
GovERNoR OF MIssouM.--Col BENTON,
it will be seen, accepts the nomination Of
the democratic party for Governor, in the
following letter:
Gs1o the Citizens of MsSOuri-I have
come to the determination, at this place, to
accept the Democratic nomination for the
office of Governor Of our State, induced to
it by no paltry calculation of the chances
of an election, but wholly and entirely upon
considerations of public good. Tho nomi-
nation Of Mr.. Buchanan for the Presidency
determines my course in relation to the
Governorship. consider him the safest
chance for preserving the peace Of the
country, now greatly endangered both at
home aud abroad, and believing him to be
the best chance for peace, hold it to be
the duty Of those who arc in favor Of that
object to assist in his election and for one,
l shall do so--in public capacity, il you
invest me with one, and as private citizen
of Missouri, if not.
proceed to the State Immediately, first
landing at Cape Girardeau, aud then pro-
cccding to other parts of the country.
Your felow-citizen,
THOMAS Ii. BENTON.
