Con- Clarkson arrived in this city last evening from
Kansas Territory with the Lecompton constitution,
which, being addressed to the President, was inn
mediately placed in his possession.
General Clarkson informs us that the vote of the
Delaware Crossing precinct had been returned to
the commissioner for Leavenworth county, and was
in his possession at the time the returns open
ed and counted in presence of the speaker of the
house, president of the senate, and governor, and
that it amounts to something three hundred
votes. This gives the democrats majority in Leav-
enworth county and consequently majority in both
branches of the Legislature.
We are also informed that the free-Sate vote, said
to have been rejected by General Calhoun because
il was returned TO Gov Denver, had not been re-
turned at the time the aforesaid opening and count
ing took place. 1t was cast at the free-State polls
held under authority of the for
vote on the constitution, and that alone, and was
not returned even to the governor until the next
day after the counting but before the publication Of
the result by the speaker and president and was
embraced by them in their aggregate. Hence it is
claimed that all the free4State officers have been
elected. 449 aea1 4
General Calhoun will be here in few days, when
he will doubtless furnish complete returns

WASHINGTON TERRITORY.

We have received intelligence from Washington Terri
tory to the 10th of December last The territorial egs
lature met the 10th Governor McMulln had sent In
his message, which has given great satisfaction to the
people generally The governor states that he has
mended the employment of two steamers as pro-
lection from the Indians who make frequent incursons
upon the dcenceless settlements in the northern portion
of the Territory lying west of the Cascade mountains He
feels satisfied that two steamers with force of one
hundred EACH would afford more ample protection
to the settlements upon Puget Sound than thousand
United States troops stationed they are remote
from each other without the of giving pursuit
the enemy upon the water, and who cam in fact do lit
tie than protect themselves. He objects to the
boundary established by the convention of Oregon in
framing their constitution We quote from the message
as follows: s
at becomes my duty to call the particular attention
Of the legislative assembly to the fact that neghbo
of Oregon did, in framing State constitution, incorpo-
rate within their boundaries large and fertile tract of
country belonging to the Territory of Washington
braced in the Walla WalIa vaeya section of country
which, if correctly informed, is of excellent quality
admirably adapted to agriculture and capable of sustain
ing population of seventy five hundred thousand
souls.
at would, perhaps be unkind in to say that l
look upon this attempt thus to rob of valuable
portion of our Territory political moral and social
outrage cannot, therefore, urge too strongly upon
you the Importance of sending to Congress legislative
protest against this attempt made to take from Washing
ton portion Of her domain and thus change the bound
ary between the two Territories without asking
consent
" If neghbors had waitsd until we had grown up
to political manhood they have and then had proposed
to us by legislative negotiation otherwise to have OBJ
tanned assent it would have looked differently but
now that they about to ask admission into the Union
a. State whilst yet in infancy with white
population of only about thousand IL is believed
that seeking drag portion Of Territory in with
them would only jeopardize their own
II am of opinion therefore, that, when all the facts
presented to Congress- they will not hesitate to
fine Oregon to her original boundary line

In the year 1874 just previous to the expiration of the

which has spread disastrousy the whole CONNER

stockholders are liable both to deposito and

Under this unlocked for state of things the trustees
determined to make loans, but urgently to call
upon all it's debtors for such curtas az they could pay

most of them, and every note on which renewal was

Democratic Nominations.

Exs- The Democratic State Convention
met at Iowa City, on the oath day o
June, and was rather slimly attended

surer, G. w. Lorer, of Cass for Regis
ter OF the State Land office, james R
Reid, of Lee for Commissioner of the
Des Moines River Improvement, Bald
win, of Van Buren,.
There certainly seems to have been {
feeling among our Democratic friends
similar TO that expressed by the Erprcs>
and Herald recently, that this year it is
one thing to nominate and another tc
elect, for their best men seem to have
been extremely chary of the use of their
names in the convention, and but one
name on the ticket is at all known to the
voters of the State. The ticket, in fact
is a very weak one, and foreshadows its
own defeat.
Two sets of resolutions were reported
by the committee. The majority report
was presented by Ben Samuels, and CON
tanned an endorsement of the Cincinnati
platform, the bred Scott decision, &C.,
but no word pro or con regarding the
President, his administration, or the Lee
compton swndle against which they were
recently SO anxious to protest. Not a
word of cheer, we understand, did they
dare to give the Little Giant, for the only
public act Of his life that deserved en-
dorsement, notwithstanding they were a
short time since such praters about the
principles that they asserted he was so
gloriously sustaining, and only seemed
DESTROYS of smoothing the way for a
grand slide down to the embraces of him
from whom comes the official pap.

yention for this district, also met at Iowa
City, and placed in nomination for Rep

Congress made, last week, strong efforts
to increase the rates of postage from
three to five cents on all letters sent nm
der 5000 miles. Under their present
beautiful free trade system the Govern
ment Treasury has become bankrupt.
and, Notwithstanding our laboring men
are out Of work and impoverished, our
business men ruined by the operations of
British Free Trade, these Locofocos de-
sire and actually did propose to Law an
additional tax upon them to meet its ex-
penses, while they persist in starving
them by supporting foreign manufactu-
rers. This is in entire accordance with
Locotoco economy ever since that party
had an existence, and, it remains for the
people to say whether they will tolerate
1t any longer. We trust they will at all
future elections give their disapprobation
to such oppressive usurpation power.
