- 5 .fAf HISTORICAL tAcr.-Thefe Is
one stern. undeniable historical fact
which completely destroys all the points
urged Tor argument and made in behalf
otthe republican organization. The sole
mission Claimed Tor that party is that il Is
necessary to prevent the extension Of
slavery into free territory. Now. in re-
ply, the records OF our country prove that
from the time this government was organ,
lied down to the present not mile of free
territory was ever converted into sIaysyxsN
On the contrary, the amount of slave ler-
ritory in 100 comprised nine>tenths Of
the Union. phree-quarters of it are now
free. There was then bat one, free State.
TO twelve slave. There are nov seyens
teen free States TO fifteen slave Stetes.-
The difference Is soon To be increased bv
the ladmissionl of Kansas and Oregon. Thus. u
making nineteen to fifteen. The United 4
States, it is true. have acquired Louisiana
Florida, and Texas, but slavery existed, ~,
now if they had not been added to u.s. Il
seems astonishing when the. rspnb licans,
have written so much about slayeryiex. q
tension into free territory that there has =
never been an instance ofitin oar,history.
Yet such is the fact. Immense sncroach-s g.
ments. however. have been made by free
institutions upon slavery. 500, i, s +.

ESWe publish the communication Of
"a Freemen," in another column. The
writer is mistaken in the supposiion that
there is three hundred Democratic major.
ity 10 Harrison county. There never has
been any such majority given in this
county in warm contest. Gov. Wise
got only &c. s. Lewis 1879, and Mr..
jenkins 1871. 1t is this supposed strength
that makes 80 many Of our Democrats too
sanguine and consequently too careless.
The writer makes another mistake in CEN
surfing the Democratic party for the defeat
Of lis candidate at the last election. No
party ever was more true to its candidate
than IL was on that occasion. The vote
given that candidate is sufficient evidence
Of this. The Democrat candidate receiv-
ed a larger vote than was ever before
given to any of its party in warm con
test. The Democratic party, as party.
is entitled to praise rather then censure.
for the manner in which it stood up to its
candidate in the late contest 1t was
other matters rather than any disaffsction
in the Democratic ranks that led to the
defeat on that occasion. If members Of
all our Churches had abstained from any
inter'erence;as members Of that Church.
and had voted their political sentiments;
or if the officers of our Federal Court had
lived up to their Democratic professions,
instead Of turning against the party that
feeds them, the result would have been
different. 1t was few traitors and big.
o:s that defeated the Democratic party,
as few are able to do, land not the Dem.
ocratic party proper. We hope our friends
will in future profit by the lesson the last
canvass has taught.

FArM AFFRAY.-A fatal afray took
place some time last week between CHARLES
McDANIELs and CIARLEs ADAMS, resulting
ia TIC immediate death Of the latter. The
particulars, as we learn them from Gen.
Tlton, are as follows: Some two months
since, Mr.. McCAw, merchant Of Steilacoom,
on his return from the mines, left quantity
of miners stores aud provisions with Mr..
Adams, then located on Frazers river, for
disposal. Some time afterwards, Mr.. Nc
Daniels started from Steilaeoom for the
diggipgs with a small stock of goods, expect
ing to be gone but a short time. Mr.. Nc
Cav therefore availed himself Of the'oppor-
tunity presented, and gave to McDaniels an
order on Adams for $500, the probable
proceeds Of the sale. Arriving at the post
Of the latter, the two concluded to unite
their stock Of goods and tradein copartner-
ship-Adams acting as salesman. Having
disposed Of their goods, Med. demanded q
settlement, and at the same time presented
the order Of S. McCaw for payment Some
difficulty arising, settlement was deferred for
some days, and both parties started down
the river. Suspecting the honesty of Mr.
Adam, McDanels, during the trip down,
again demanded a settlement and payment
Of the note in the presence of witnesses
The former again refused, and all retired for
the night on the bank Of the river. Hav-
ing observed that the note was contained in
a memorandum book which Mr. McD. had
placed under his head for security, Adams
silently crept up TO the former and succeeded
in stealing the book without awakening
him, and instantly made his way down the
river. Discovering what had been done,
Med. started in pursuit aud overlook the
on the spit at the mouth Of the
river Here the same demand was again
made with the addition to deliver over the
note which he affirmed he had stolen
Adams then assumed an air of insolence,
and answered the other to get it if he could.
Upon this the latter drew a pistol and shot
him through the heart, killing him instantly.
Med. then proceeded to Whatcom and gave
himself up. The deed was fully justified by
all acquainted with the circumstances
Adams is an Englishman, was formerly in
the service Of the Hudson Bay Company,
and one Of the most proficient scoundrels
and horse-thief with whom our Territory
has ever been afflicted. egat

Death Of Hon. Thomas Hart Benton.

Hon. Thomas Hart Benton died at
Washington on the morning of April 10th.
During the night he was able to dictate
several letters, and 10 converse with great
clearness, but in low tone of voice, to
bis friends.
The last days of this great man have
been calm and happy. He has been able
to converse in whispers almost to the last
with his friends, and to the last day, was
engaged in finishing up his great work,
Mrs. Jacob, his daughter, of Kentucky,
arrived at Washington that week. Mrs.
Fremont is in California. She left her fa-
ther a month ago, not apprehending that
he was in critical state Madame Boi-
leau is in Calcutta, the wife of the French
onsul-General. At this time, his young
est grand-child was in the room overhead
at the point of DEATH He has been at
tended all along by his daughter, Mrs.
Carey Jones, who resides with him.
Mr.. Wm. II. Appleton, one of Col. BIS.
publishers, arrived Friday night and was
allowed an interview at the Coils request,
though visitors were interdicted Great
numbers Of anxious friends in both his
public and private life thronged Col. Ben
tons residence on Friday and Saturday.
The funeral service of Col. Benton was
attended, among others, by the President,
members Of the Cabinet, Foreign Minis
ters, and Members OF Congress. The
corpse was taken to the cars for transmits
sion to Missouri.
The Union says that the interview be-
tween Col Benton and the President, on
Sunday night, was protracted, and that
the latter afterwards expressed exceeding
qualification at his visit. Col Benton spoke
Of his extreme solicitude for the condition
of public affairs, and his painful sense Of
the imminent dangers which threaten the
country, aud exhorted the President to
rely upon the Divine support aud guild
ance, and not on that of men, who would
deceive him.
Mr.. Benton addressed letter to Sena-
tor Houston and Mr. Jones, of Tenn, re-.
questing that no notice be taken of his
death when it took place.
The funeral of the Hon. Thomas II
Benton took place on Friday, April 18th,
at st. Louis. His remains were inferred
in the Bellefontaine Cemetery, and were
followed by the most imposing procession
ever formed in St. Louis 1t consisted OF

DASeERoUs.-Up to the present time it
has been the practice of our butchers and
others to drive the cattle which supply Onr
citizens with beef into town for killing
The slaughter-housc is situated almost in
the very centre Of the great capital of
Washington Territory, and to reach it, cat
tie must be driven the full length of its
principal street. Aside from the Odorifer-
Gus fragrance which 1t "casts upon the dcs-
ert air" the task is attended with great
deal of danger. However gentle cattle
may appear when among their respective
bands and roaming at large upon their pas
lures, the moment they are brought within
sight Of this place they become perfectly
frantic and furious, wildly dashng at any
and every body that appears in sight. We
were thus forced to run the gauntlet on Sat
urday last while making our way to the
Office, by one Of these Spanish brutes, whom
we do not know TO have offended in oil our
life, We eheaded of the blood-thirsty beast,
however, by a 2.4O gait, 1--WE don't think it
could have been mere and safely tired "
ourself behind stump,
When such rENniag serapss occur at the
expense of others, we can enjoy the joke
about as well as anybody, but when the
thing is reversed, and the OK is h-ll bent
after us, determined upon an interchange
of feelings, why then it is no fun at all.--
Any one doubting this willplease front the
elephant" and we venture to say, they
will soon be convinced, ..-..r
As several accidents have thus occurred,
one of which terminated fatally. and with
desire to prevent the recurrence of such,
we would suggest Individually that the
slaughter house be removed from the town,
and the driving Of wild cattle through our
streets prohibited. What say our citi-
zensH We hope some one or more will
move in the premises.

SiR:-Your letter Of the Sd instant, in
relation to the buoyage of the entrance to
Shoalwater Bay, Washington Territory
was duly received, and beg to soy in re-
ply, that, upon the recommendation of this
Board, a special appropriation was made
Aug. 1854, and the Collector Of Customs
and Superintendent Of Lights at Astoria
was directed to contract for and have the
necessary buoys provided and placed.
The buoys were placed accordingly, ac-
cording to his report, but it is understood
that the buoys to mark the approach to,
and entrance Of the bay, are liable to fire.
quent damage and displacement by the sea
and storms -.
The few persons residing in that vicinity,
competent to, or having the means to at
tend upon the buoys, render the task Of
keeping them in place very difficult, but
now that steam vessel has been provided
for this special service, it is hoped aud ex-
pected that there will be less cause of Just
complaint Of the buoys hereafter.
No appropriation is required for this
special object, and the Inspectors partic-
ular attention will he called 10 this point,
and directions will be given to loose no
time in having the necessary buoys placed.
The light house authorized at the en-
trance to Shoalwater Bay will he compile
ted very soon, aud i. is expected that the
facilities for keeping the buoys iu proper
position will be greatly increased thereaf-
ter through the vigilance of the keepers.

RUHORED IKDIAE DEPREDATIoNs-By the
arrival Of the schooner r. B. Potter, Cap
tain NOEwOoD, at this place on Monday
laSt. We are informed that intelligence
reached that vessel while lying at Dungi-
ness, that party Of northern Indians had
made . hostile descent upon Belyieu, or
san Juan island, killing couple of Eng
lishmen who we're employed thereon, and
burning the buildings which are located on
the same. 4 bright light was seen in the
direction Of this island by some Of eur In
dIanS in the night some time last week,
which, I'll probable. gave rise to the con.
lecture. The report is based upon the in
formation Of Indians, and may be unfoun-
dsd, although in this instance, we believe,
itis not improbable. The visit of U. S.
troops into an Indian country, unless they
succeed in inaicting the punishment which
i contemplated, is invariably attended with
sEil results.
