The Admission Of OyeQon-The Presidential Con,e-Wha
are Douglas Chances?-TAe Charleston Conpcntson, &C.
The admission Of Oregon is likely to become a promi.
nent question in the House Immediately after the opening
OF the session The bill for its admission which passed
the Senate last session. will be brought forward with all
possible haste by General Lane passage urged by
the Generals friends and those of Hon. Deazon Smith,
the other Senator elect Of the STATE well those
OF MI Grover, the representative in Congress elect II
10 possible that the republicans win oppose the bill until
the English Kansas bill repealed at least that clause
oil known as the population restriction that Kansas
may be brought in with republican Senators and Repre-
scnatyes at the time thus preserving tho present
relative state Of the vote, provided that the next Presi
dental election should be thrown into the next House.
Stupendous efforts will be made to return majority of
Douglas democrats TO the next Congress from Connecticut
also from Minnesota and California In the latter State
pretended election had last October, by which Mr.
McKibbon anI ecompon, Of the present House, WAS re-
turned from one district with administration member
from Mr.. SCOTS dstrct but ii that the cleo
ton not in conformity with State Law and that
one will be had next year.
AS deemed by many very likely the contest in
1850 VIII be triangular ono, which the election
will be apt to devolve upon tho House, the complexion of
that body will be closely scrutnizcd tricks in whist
SO IN snch an event. States count and the Of
Kansas, Oregon California, Minnesota and Connecticut
are OF as much Importance TO either party that larger
States.
In this view the which the friends OF Mr. Douglas
may SEQ t to pursue upon tho Oregon question becomes
one OF much Importance as it will indicate pretty clearly
his Intentions as to going TO the Charleston Convention
With the Illinois delegation ut his back, and the vote of
fifteen Southern States he wants but Minnesota Con-
nectcut or California To insure his election the House.
If the election goes there II Oregon be admitted and
Kansas left out adds the chances OF the Charleston
nominee the House. as seventeen States will still be
majority; but admitting both Kansas and Oregon, the
successful candidate must carry eighteen States If
count the fifteen Southern States sure for the democratic
nominee, he must then have three Northern States viz
Oregon, Illinois and California, Minnesota Conncc-
ticut.
Nj. Douglas is by means sure of the nomination al
Charleston he goes there and if he were, and the de-
mocracy should unite upon him. the question arises
would ne not be so damned in Illinois and the North
west as to insure the success OF the republican cand
date with the peopeG This somewhat depends upon who
that candidate shall bewhether he be person chat
unite the whole opposition vote. II Weed & Co shall
force the nomination Of Seward by packed Convention
enough would bolt to lose him the State York and
Pennsylvania and perhaps throw all the Western and
Middle States into the hands of the democracy On the
other hand, il the nominee be Banks, Fremont, or
General Scott or body who can unite all the oppos
ton vote with enthusiasm, the result may be very de-
rent. If the republican candidate can carry the 1856
votes embraced in New England, New York, New
Jersey rehusyVana, Onlo, Mchigan, WISCONSIN,,
Kansas, Iowa, and Minnesota, or their equivalents he
succeeds in the electoral college without respassing upon
Indiana Illinois, California or Oregon. Kansas and
Oregon are admitted the nexcolege will of 306
votes necessary TO o choice, 154.
What then will Mr.. Douglas do This is the question In
every ones mouth. Will he go TO Charleston and take
the risk OF nomination upon platform which will be
TO damage him in the Northwest will he keep the
position which he lately held the stump before the
people as an independent democrat upon platform partly
from Cincinnati and partly Of his construction trust

trines to elect him the college throw him into the
House. where by skifu conduct he retain the casting
vote, and thereby compel his election
the latter course 10 to be pursued, he must guard
against the admission Of Oregon unless balanced by
lest the Charleston nominee secure the vote OF Cali
