OREGON PoLrTIcs-DErKAr OF JOE LANE AND

OREGON CRY, June I.
EDITOR OF THE BULLETIN: | suppose from
your remarks in regard to Delazon Smith, in
a recent number of your journal, that you
will be glad to learn that our Legislature.
which has just adjourned, refused to send
him again to the United States Senate
Though it was the same body that elected
him last July, and was composed Of forty
three Democrats out of fifty members, and
notwithstanding his success by adroit man
| agement in getting nomination in his party
caucus, the vote being twenty two in favor,
and twenty-one against him, vet his oppo-
nents, with the seven Republicans, had
strength enough to stop joint Cow ention.
And so Joe Lane will take his place in
/ September, 1860, with the privilege
OF representing Oregon alone, until af-
ter the next regular session Of the Legisla-
ture. as Whitaker protests that he will not
convene the Legislature again under any cir

pu!lers, they IRE sharper than they have yet
proved to be.
Gen. Lane Was on hand, urging with oil his
might the necessity Of Smiths election, not
less for his own vindication than to show to
the Democracy Of the nation that he is om-
nipotent with his party in Oregon, but am
inclined to think that, instead Of strengthen
ing his noisy hacker, he injured him, for he
is perfectly certain that if Lanes seat had
happened to be vacant, this Legislature
would not have permitted him again to fill
IL. His day in Oregon has gone. His term
will expire in 1861, and Joe Lane as public
man will thenceforth be known among us no
more forever. For there is scarcely q doubt
that the Legislature elected next year will be
80 composed as to elect Douglas Democrat
and u Republican. By that time, Buchanan
and the crowd around him, who hailed the
admission Of Oregon only because it was a
reliable Democratic State, will learn that this
State does &c: belong &c Lsno, IL ouKhh d has
exercised acts of ownership for the last eight
4 years.
Our election for Congress takes place on
the 9th inst. The chances are highly IA
vorable to the Republican candidate. David
Logan, though majority of 900 in q vote
of less than 10000 is a hcavy load to lift and
