fare and fu.aIe destiny 81 Oregon VII depend.
oay people a: the recent election bare decided to
assume tho portion Of an Independent S:s.s Of the
great North American Contsderacy. "a in Kan.
sas, 50 in Oregon, the slave question i, as.tased
but perhaps 40! 70 az sea!sal eIasot. Ine Border
Rtaans Of Mhsoan canno: ,ppro,ch ne Sc easily
as they did Kansas, and overawe the Sons Of
Liberty ard destroy the elective fiancaise! We
do not apprehepd any blood'hed here &C tho
Slavery question. Yet agreat issue is pending here
and question of local pulley or peculiar inst,u-
tion il 10 be shortly decilea .ha: VIII tel On The
future destiny Of this country Any man OF com.
mon sense could discern that the natural
position and productions Of Oregon would
REQUIRE free population, and that slave property
and slave labor would not pan ont" here. Blu.
there il an undercui rent here, lmpeIng the misses
forward in measure which Is against their true
interests. The Federal and Territorial officers of
Oregon are of the SayeOcrocy Of the United States,
and they are camOrous for Democracy" alias
Slavery. beEs,e that majority ecen OF -htse
" leaders" are at heart opposed 70 the institution
of Slavery; but, for the sake Of the "spols,
they will marshal their Democratic hosts" aud
bur, alb for Slavery and the African Administration
at Washington City The Delegates chosen at
the recent election here viii assemble IN Salem,
o. T., this Summer TO frame State Consttution
fI Oregon. Their new Delegate (od One), 10 Lane,
lately asserted that We never should expect to be
admitted into the cOnfeRracy as a Free State
Tie Durham Democracy take issue here WITH the
Opposition on the Slavery question and the brandy
, cssk. Never bave seen party organization WELD
| more powerful influence on the ignorant masses
than is done in Oregon. One Of the Candidates tor
the Ii gslsture Of Oregon this year, from Marion
| County, lately asserted that he was down on al
institutions Of learning here, for that as sooh as
men become learned and well read they became re-
frsctory in the Democratic ranks and belted to the
| Opposition; and, hence, learning or book knowi-
edge was hostile to Democracy, and he was hostile
| t. il as an enemy to Democracy!
This fellow, however, was elected recently TO
the Legislature here and he only expressed the
tue sentiment of the party on this subject. OBJ
serve that the articles published in The TRIBUNE
from time to time on the subject OF eur In
dian wars give much uneasness TO the al lead
ers" here. They endeavOr to dodge, deny,
nuke special pleadDgs' and false issues, and
try 10 keep I'D appearances and fair weather With
the ruling pow ers in Congress- IN order to tap the
United States Treasury for the small sum OF fVe or
six millions of dollars Platforms and plans are
laid here for very fine speculations and handsome
fortunes in the matter of Indian wars. At present
the Indians are quiet and well fed, and they will
likely remain so till the war scrip Is al allowed and
paid Then il Will likely turn out that dread
ul massacres Of the miners and Others Will occur,
and Oregon will be the theater again Of another vol
unteer war, and then again ponies no: worth $40
Will be appraised by Government officials t0ah al
Sl25: oxen, worth $lC0 per yoke, at $500; old
broken down wagons at $500 apiece, &c.
The lettcr.writers of Oregon who divulge
these matters (of whom / am oue) are
denounced as enemies to this country and of her
people, that they are to some extent III the way OF
General Lane ia Congress in getting appropriations
to redeem our war scrip Now this whole giant
speculation is coupled with the slave question in
Oregon; and the two measures are intended 70 be
couped together in political matrimOny, and the
unnatural pair must stand or fall together Whom
Oregon Democracy has Joined together let no man
or men Republicans, Wings and Know. Nothings)
put asunder. In expectation that large emigra-
ton from the Free States would reach our shores
this yeor member of the Legislature here last
Winter introduced bill to distranchise all persons
arriving here from voting for one year This, he
asserted, would enable the Democracy of Oregon
to make and push through their new State
| Constitution before these Free-Soil voters
could claim the right Of voting here;
| But his measure was thwarted in the Council and
according ts our free system Of voting here, these
new recruits by land and sea, to our shores, will
have Sag in adopting rejecting the Cqnstitu-
tion when it shall be voted on, prior 10 its adoption
| here and in Congress. There is a great split IN
| tie ranks of the - faithful" in Oregon. Whole
counties have bOted and gone over 10 the Opposl-
| ton, and Lanes majority is small, and growing
beautifully less every day, in Oregon. \ man by
| the name OF Lawson ran as an independent cam
ddate in the recent canvass tor Delegate 10
| Congress from Oregon, who was unknown to the
people of the Territory, and so little was ne
| regarded by the Democracy that they never hred
| q shot at him, but saved their guns to
batter down Black Republicans and knsw-Soth-
| ings If O strong man had been en- the track, the
| issue would have been very doubtful, whether
Lane would baye been elected at all. The features
of The, Constitutional Convention here, and Of our
next Legislature, will be given officially IN short
! time in our territorial newspapers.
| Let me, then, though an Obscure man. and no,
| possessed Of ebquencc, call upon tho friends oil
humanity and Cf freedom in the rec States 0f our
| Union TO sympathze with us of Rke principles
here and push forward the noble enterprise OF the
Pacific Emigration Aid Society, and let temper
| ate moral aud industrious men press to our goody
land and cast their lots arong as and help us rear
a gocdly edifce Of Freedom that shall endure,
| While the broad flag of our glorious Union 'eaIl
float over our broad seas and tell TO the oppressed
Of all ba'ions Of the land OF TIC rec ADJ the Rome
Of the brave" ILefe is hope in the distance, and
! We Will not despair here. Though the Bihsgsgate
suices of SANDER are YET loose upon Us here yet We
will not cease TO use our best efforts 10 bring about
IL free Constitution for Orcgon--tbe recent decslon
| Of the L. :. Supreme Court, Oregon Democracy,
Slayeocracy War Scrip and local interests 10 the
| contrary notwithstanding. y. y.
