OREeoN.-The atestintelligence from
Oregon renders it probable that a new
member will soon be added to the gal
axy of free States. Our Northern sister
without doubt has rejected slavery, and
with wisdom WHICH augurs we'll for her
future, has decided that fertile cause
for agitation and distraction shall not
exist within her borders. Free negroes
are prohibited from emigrating to Ore
gon by large vote. The constitution
that the people have adopted we regard
as poor apology for the organic law Of
a great State, but happily, unlike our
own, it has the means within itself of
being changed without compelling the
people to suffer its iniquitous provisions
for years. There is some hope for
population that gives itself chance to
get out of bad arrangement. before
vitality has been wofully Slapped. The
Oregonians have given themselves the
benefit of all doubts concerning the prac-
teal well working of their Constitution.
The population Of Oregon is stated at
$4,000, of which number less than 49,
600 are voters. The assessed valuation
of property for the year 1857 is about
$17,000,0OO. The statistics do not show
much in favor of the Importance of Ore
gon setting up for herself, yet we trust
no obsta lie will be thrown in the way
of her admission. -
1t is a fact worthy of notice that the
vote for free State is about the same
as that to exclude free negroes, while
the vote for slaves runs also with that
for the admission of free negroes-rath-
er pregnant commentary upon the
term "nigger-worshippers.'

ton is an ugly one, and must embarrass
the administration in disposing oft. To
allow that plague spot, Utah, to come
into the Union with all its moral mon
trosities would be shame to the repub-
lie, and, despite the popular doctrine Of
politicians of to day, can never please
the majority of the people of the United
States. The Mormons are the Ishmael-
ties OF the west-their hands are against
every man, and every mans hand
against them. Their deeds have exas-
perated the public mind to high pitch
against them. No doubt, in some in
stances at least, the Mormons have been
grossly misrepresented, but in general
we believe they have Jared as we'll as
they deserve. Salt Lake at best is but
rendezvous of murderers, thieves and
fanatics, and the judgment of Sodom
could not better be reaffirmed than in
the case of such nest of villains. Such
is the preponderating sentiment of the
country over, and such the sentiment
the administration would like to mount
and ride. The expulsion of the Nor
mons from the territories of the United
States can scarcely fail to be popular
measure. The religious world would
certainly offer little objection, while the
class out of which armies are made
would give the scheme an unhesitating
sanction.
But popular as might be the measure
there is an obstacle, an almost ipsur-
mountable one, in the way. The Kan
sas Act recognizes the right of the peo-
pie of Territory to establish their own
domestic institutions, limited only by the
Constitution of the United States. The
prevailing political sentiment is that by
virtue of the principles of the said Act
the general government has no power
to interfere in the domestic or religious
affairs or rites Of the people of Terri
tory, aid should not refuse the admis-
sion of State into the Union whose
Constitution is not expressly in conflict
with that of the United States. This
doctrine if adhered to must allow Utah
a place in the American confederacy
with its heathenism, prophets, destroy
ing angels or Thusgery, poligymy. and
all other damnable practices; in which
case IAN immense dissatisfaction with the
people generally will be liable to arise.
The prevailing political dogma is unsafe
to adhere to, while the popular course
which is plain will not do to follow so
soon after the principles of the Kansas
Bill have been so loudly and ostenta-
tiously promulgated as the saving ordi-
nance of the Republic. Buchanan is
thus in place where two serious
thoughts are required to one act.
AS we stated in the outset, the Nor
mon question is an ugly one, and re-
quires some consideration, which it is
doubtless receiving at the hands of the
President. 1t behooves him to weigh
we'll his position. Popularity versus po-
litical consistency is the issue.

Meas from the East.-The news by
the steamer will be found on the outside
and unimportant to the general reader.
The New York and Boston Banks all
suspended specie payments, though their
bills pass current as ever. The
public seem to have an mistaken conf
dence in their banking institutions not
withstanding the unfavorable attitude
in which they are placed. The opinion
is expressed that the panic is about
over, and times about to amend. The
most notable failure recorded in the late
addenda to the suspension list, is that of
Harper & Bros. The closing up of this
extensive book concern will throw a
large number of men out of employ
The working class in and about the
large cities have no very fattering
prospect ahead in the present aspect of
things.
The Mormon question seems to chal-
lenge fair share of attention still
Whatever may be the final determine
ton of the administration, it is quite
certain that save and except the few
troops on their way to Utah, none other
will be dispatched to the Mormon set
Elements till the opening of the coming
season.
The report that an additional number
of the Inflated Central Americas pas
sengers are saved, is too good to be true.
We could wish it to be no hoax, but the
chances are decidedly unfavorable to
the verifcation of the report.
The defeat of David Wilmot as can
didate for Governor in Pennsylvania,
and the very close vote between Hayne
and Chase in Ohio, are topics on which
politicians love to dwell. The elections
all over turn out generally rather unfa-
vorably to the Republicans.
Beyond the usual budget of accidents
there is little more of interest in the
Eastern news.
