From oregon.

Dates from Portland to the 2sth ul.imo
have been received. The election returns
as far as received give 8 .s26 for the consti-
tuition and 5.ols against slavery. The Or
eeoniaa Opposed to the adoption of the
constitution says:
A few voted against i, from principle.
while thousands voted for it under tie con.
viction that BY voting for the constitution
and against slavery, it would settle the
question Of slavery IN Oregon forever
The question OF opposition to slavery carried
the vote in favor of the constitution. Had
it npt-heen for that, the constitution woulc
have been rejected by an o,erwhe Inning
majority.

BLEEDING Kansas

The following letter We copy from the
Ohio statesman of yesterday. The respecta-
bility of the writer is thus vouched for by
that paper:
The letter from Kansas, which we publish
this morning, is f-oCm a sound National
Democrat, well known in Ohio, and whose
veracity was never questioned. His services
to the Democracy OF this State in the Presi-
Dental canvass which carried Mr.. Buchanan,
were conspicuous and efficient. We rely
upon his statements to the letter.
Here is the letter, and our leaders will see
by it that the material statements which
have been made BY us, from time to time, in
regard 10 the wrongs inflicted upon the free
state men in Kansas, are yer fled to the let
ter. The Statesman begins to see things as
they are, and we shall hear no more from
that quarter, we hope, in derogatiun of the
true men of thai i'll faied Territory.

CONGRESSIONAL

W~AsHINGToS, Jan. 5.
SEHArE-Mr. Fessenden introduced a
bill providing fer the payment of French
spoilation claims, and moved lis reference
to a seIect committee OF seven.
HoUsE-The House went INFO committee
of the whole on the stsie of the Union, and
took up the Presidents Message.
J. Clancy Jones, OF Pa, submitted I Sc
ries of resolutions referring the various
branches of the Message to appropriate
standing committees. He expressed the
hope that they would be adopted forthwith,
as the message had been befure the country
nearly a month.
Quitman, Of Miss, moved an amend
ment referring tina: portion in relation to
the neutrality laws to a select committee
OF five members. lie said that the country
demanded that something should be done.
The gentleman might attempt to get rid of
the question, but they we're now forced on
thu consideration of Congress, and he had
come to the conclusion that ME greater part
of the neutrality avs ought To be swept
from away from the statute book; and he
believed that if the larger portion of the
House would investigate the matter they
ouid arrive at the same conclusion.
Mr.. Stevens SAID it was robbery to do it.
He did not know tie position the Admin
i~stration occupied, but that Capt. Chat!ard
was disgraced tor not doing what was done
by Com. Paulding, vino is retained.
Clancy Jones read a portion of the message
to show that the President only asked the
emp oyment of additional force in case OF
necessity to execute laws on the statute
book Tor the f%uifiliment of the I eaIv on
which the faith of the Government is already
pledged to The protection of the Isthslnus
OF Panama transit route and for the enforce
