The Constitution of Oregon.

The Oregon Constitutional Conven-
ton closed its labors on the 18th of
September, after a session of five
weeks. The Constitution was to be
submitted to vote of the people on
the 9th lust. A correspondent of the
Sacramento Journal thus cnumerates
its provisions:
The Governors term Of Office is four years,
and he is Superintendent of Public Instruction,
with yearly salary of only fifteen hundred
dollars The Secretary is to be both Secretary
and Auditor of Public Accounts salary the
same as the Governor. The Treasurer, whose
Office at one time was united in the person of
the Governor, has been again detachcd-hc is
To get the magnificent sum of eight hundred
dollars per annum. The four Judges. being
both Supreme and Circuit Judges, are to be
elected for six years, and have a salary each of
| two thousand dollars per anum. The question
! ot Slave or Free State. as before intimated
is submitted 10 a vote of the people also. the
question of whether free negroes and China
| men shall he allowed to come and reside in
the country. Voting is to he uira roce. Towns
and cities are prohibited from contracting debts
! for any purpose whatever banking charters
are absolutely prohibited so that the business
of corporate banking will not be recognized
The sessions of the Legislature are to be bien-
NAL, and are limited to forty days, but the
Governor may call extra sessions, not to exceed
twenty days at any one session. The total
yearly expenses of the three departments OF
Government are estimated at the amazingly
economical sum of SIT 900 If the machine
works, 1t will be one of the cheapest State
Governments in existence on this continent
The subject of slavery formed a
prominent topic of discussion in the
Convention. There are said to be two
thousand citizens in the Territory who
are i'll favor Of legalizing slavery, be
sides several of the newspapers, and
among the prominent politicians, Gen
Lane. The free State sentiment is
very weak where it exists at ALL anG
it would not be surprising if the vote
should be in favor of slavery. There
was a chance, however, that the Con
stitution would be rejected on Other
grounds. A portion of the people
were opposed to the formation of ;
State Government for the reason tina
they do not consider the population
, large enough to sustain it in an eflicien
r manner, and this conclusion seems t.
| be borne out by the fact that ten thou
sand was the largest vote ever pollec
in the Territory. The limitation o
the cost of the Government to $4,000
| per anum, also implies either great
: poverty or parsimony.

DUGuouE AND Pacific RAMRoAD.--We
learn that track laying on this road
has commenced beyond Dyersville,
and that the road will be open to
Nottingham by the first day of De-
cemher. Nottingham is eight miles
beyond Dyersville, and very favorably
situated for fine and beautiful
village. There is plenty of timber,
good water and three good hotels
near by the embryo village. 1t
will be the terminus of the road for a
few months until the track can be
laid to Manchester. This eight miles
is the worst part of the road now
travelled west of Dyersville, on ac-
count of three or four bad sloughs.
Clear the track for the Locomotive

times! It's merry whistle will greet
the welcome ear of the traveller at
Nottingham in few days. 1t has

GIRLS FOR THE WEsr.-An Office
was recently opened in New York, for
the new emigration of trades-girls to
the West. The Tribune says -
4The sight of the company of smart
looking, well-dressed girls who gath
cred there was gratifying indeed. Ev-
identity the best Of our working girls
had come in fear Of poverty and dan
ger this winter Their faces express
ed the deepest anxiety and care; some
told their stories with tears. Some
were utterly homeless. They seemed
willing to go anywhere with respecta.
ble people, and to try to learn anything.
Many had money enough to pay their
fares. The Society were demanding
very strict references from them, as
they desire to send ont only the best
of girls. The great difficulty was, we
were assured by the Superintendent,
that the most had never lived out, and
were not used to Homework, still they
seemed willing to learn"
We also learn that an association
has been formed at Philadelphia for
the purpose Of sending to the West
the surplus female population of that
city. It is to be managed exclusive
ly by the ladies, prominent among
whom is Mrs. Sarah J. Hale, editress
OF the Lady's Book. The idea of the
founders is 10 open one or more Offices,
at which ladies will attend to register
the names of the applicants, make in
quiries with regard to character. so
that none but respectable and proper
women shall be taken, and then open
a correspondence with the editors of
newspapers at the West, to learn the
points where females are most needed
Agents will be employed to forward
the emigrants, see to their wants, pro.
vide places, defray expenses, etc.
Why not open correspondence
with the junior editor of this paper
and send some girls to St. Charles
City? We doubt not that from TWEEN.

ken Of the U. S. Senatorship, but as
yet we have seen no direct illusions

THE SENATORSRIP AGAIN.

"The sentiments of both our arti
cles respecting the appointment Of a
Z. S. Senator from the Northern part
of the State, seem to have met with
general appreciation, judging from the
private adviccs received from the
Southern, Northern and Western coun,
ties. In many of the Northern coun,
ties, it struck the people with surprise,
from the fact that they had SO long
looked to the South for their public
men, and it had not occurred to them
that "any good thing" could come out
of this section of the State. But a
moments reflection, after recovering
from the surprise, convinced them
that policy and justice required the
appointment to be made from the
North. We are crcdibly informed
that the South does not look for it, or
make claim to it; and that there is
not man who would be candidate
from that quarter, in case the North
ask for it. In the South are rival men
for rival interests, and it is believed
that the appointment from that section
would increase the animosity existing
and be disastrous to the interests of
the party; and, furthermore, it would
remove strong incentive to many
men to labor for our common cause,
for the next two years, when another
Senator's time will expire, whose
place may be filled by Southern
man. In view of these facts it would
seem like forcing the Scnatorship up
on the South, without regard to its
interests, or the party's.
The Office is desirable, and the right
kind Of "A man from this section of the
State would greatly advance our in
terests, and we shall be great losers
if we do not ask for it, and, if neces-
sary, insist upon it. We are salts
fed, however, that there will be no
opposing candidate offered in case the
North can unite on some good and
competent person for the position. 1t
is time that we learned to respect
ourselves and our leading men, and to
advance them. II is really reproach-
full that they have been SO long neg
lccted, and that we have suffered
the conviction to control us, that all
our ablcst and best men are in the
South. The sooner this false delicacy
is abandoned, the better"

ave see several papers bringing
forward the claims for Senator upon
purely local grounds. This is all
wrong, and ought not to be allowed
to have any influence on the minds

Letting devolves. But if the question
of locality is the question to be dcci-

of the State is entitled to receive the
honor? The Mississippi slope Of the
