re News comes from Oregon, of the
election of Republican to Congress, not
withstanding the tremendous efforts Of
10. Lane and Delazon Smith on the
stump, and the favorite practice of the
Democracy, of frauds upon the ballot
box. Republican Senators will be apt
to take the places Of the present precious
pair, as soon as their terms expire. 1t
must be peculiarly CALLING to the Democ-
racy, when they remember that they ad-
mitted Oregon with less than half the re-
quired population, just because she was a
Democratic State /! The result of this
election will not help Lanes prospects
much for the Presidency.

TREarY w,rH MExIco.-The United
States Government has concluded another
treaty with Mexico-we believe they do
so about once year. We have not seen
its provisions. but suppose some oil the
principal ones are as follows;
LIST. American citizens are allowed free
transit through Mexico. with the privilege
of being plundered at will by the Next
cans.
ID. American Merchants are granted
the privilege of being plundered, and
driven out of Mexico.
Sd. The people of the American from
tiers bordering on Mexico, have full au-
thority to be murdered by marauding par
ties of Indians sent over from Mexico.
4th. American Merchant ships are en-
titled to enter any Mexican port, and to
be fired into by any artillery that may be
within reach.
9Th. The American Minister has per.
mission to reside in the City Of Mexico
subject to the wholesome restriction o.
being insulted and robbed occasionally,
and of being mobbed out Of the country
if he grumbles at such treatment.
If such provisions are not contained ii
the treaty, they ought to be for such viii

= EgThe Leavenworth Times, referring
to our remarks upon the ApportiOnmcnt,
says that it is no part of the Constitution.
We beg leave to differ with the Times on
that point 1t is part Of the Constitu-

the Constitution. vote for or against the

all at the same time, AMI in the same

DEATH cE AN ENoL1su LADY.-The
London correspondent Of the New York
Times says:
80 ne of the most DISTINGUISHED beau
ties Of English society has been prcn;.-
tw ely snatched away by death within thc
last; few days. Lady Clemcntina Fillicrs,
the second daughter Of the Earl of Jcr-
sey, has been for several years the most
admired and sought after of the daugh-
ters Of the aristocracy. The greatest for
tunes, and some Of the greatest titles, in
the United Kingdom have been at her
feet; but, as is we'll known, she retained
her inhexible resolution not to accept any
Of them. Her affections were said to have
been early won by clergyman possessing
but an inconsiderablc benefce, and not
likely by his talents to obtain more
prominent position in the Church. Her
worldly and fashionable parents refused
their assent to such match; and unlike
her sister, Lady Adela, who ten years ago,
elopcd with Captain Ibbottson, she con-
tinued to reside with her parents and to
accompany her mother in the inccssant
round Of society in which the old lady
lives. When her brother, the late men,
ber for Rochester, became so embarrassed
as to be obliged to leave the country,
many of his outstanding engagements
were bought up by his mother, who, as
the hciress Of Mr.. Child, the banker,
still possessed a remnant of her once
splendid fortune. The liabilities soon
exhausted Lady Jerseys personal rcsour.
ces; and Lady Clementina spontaneously
resolved to devote MANY thousands Of that
which had been settled on herself to litl-
uidate her brothers debts. Those who
observed her gradually attenuated form
and slow y-fading beauty, as year after
year she returned to the joyless haunts OF
aristocratic frivolity and fashion, could
not but perceive that, however care nigh
succeed iii preserving the lincaments o!
loneliness, the spirit within was perishin@
Of Loves sweet wart. The last time
stood near her Was at a dcnsel y y-throngcd
assembly at one Of these mansions in fc

which belongs rather to Il state Of tranc
than to that Of active life. Her cIacs

a PIONEER GONG WEsr.-Thc fol-
lowing picture of family travelling to
the "new Countries" we find in the
Evansville Journal:
"Near the saw-mill, on the banks Of
the river in the lower part of the city,
was moored to the shore, on Sunday even
ing last, a wrctched Taft about ten by
twenty feet lii area, constructed Of par
eel OF old plank, the surface of which
rose not more than two inches above the
surface OF the water. On this frail struc-
turc the occupants had raised ridge pole
about five feet high, and placing against
it small pieces Of board apparently picked
up from the drift in the river, had formed
roof with a kind Of dog kennel beneath
Of about six by ten feet on the floor of
the raft. Into this hoyel, on little
straw and a heap of old rags, were crowd
ed, in most forlorn and wretched condi-
ton, man, woman, and four children,
one at the breast, and the eldest perhaps
ten years old. The only household goods

barrels; not seat, tabl. Or dish was
visible.
On the bow Of the raft, on piece of
old boilor iron, raised a few inches above
the plank was q blazing fire OF drift wood,
which, fortunately is abundant and with
out price. Around this, ,s,that wrctched
group were huddled, presenting scene OF
squa|id poverty and destitution seldom
seen IN this country and sufficient to move
the compassion Of the most selfish and
penurious. How they endured the pitilcss
rain storm that followed in the night. with
no shelter but a rooi OF few loose boards
leaning against pole, the reader can
conjecture. They have navigated the
Ohio, on their trail structure, from the
mouth Of the Kanawha to this point, in a
voyage of about six weeks, during which
there has been an uninterrupted succession
Of, cold and cheerless storms. Every
wave washed over the wretchcd raft, and
rain must have penetrated every part Of
the miserable roof; they have passed
