NEWS FROM OREGON.

tThs following was in type previous to the arrival
Of the States mall which will account for its appear
ing somewhat out Of date.l
We have Oregon papers, by the last
mail from the Columbia river, up to March
I'd.
1t will he recollecied that two weeks ago,
in our news columns. we published an item
from the San Francisco Herald, to the e.
feet, that the committee in the United
States House Of Representatives having 10
charge the consideration Of the war debt
of the two territories, would cut down the
amount from six millions to one or two.
This it seems is not well founded.
In the Statesman, of March lot, we 6nd
the following extract of letter from Hon.
L. F. GROVER to the editor of that paper,
from which it may be fair to infer that the
debt will probably be cut down some .r
In transmitting this letter, Mr.. Grover writes:
WASHINGTON, January 10, 1859.
EDITOR OF THE STATESMAN 81 send the corTef
ppondence Of the Baltimore Snn referring to our State
the military committee, but will not come out bad
y the correspondent thinks. There probably new
er was SO unfortunate period for claimants to obtain
spproPFlia1iions Pl1 s as now We may possibly get on ~
through. Truly, t.
The Statesman adds, that another letter
from Mr.. GROVER, on this subject, says:
eve can do nothing to further the Wr bill until
the action on the State bll.'
The correspondence of the Baltimore
Sun, alluded to by Mr.. GROVER, is sub
stantially the same as that which we have
copied from the San Francisco Herald.
The following item in connection with it,
however, we believe we have not seen or
published
The Oregon admission bill will be reported as
soon the committee Territories shall be able 70
make reports, and will no doubt be passed"
The Statesman says that "IoN," the cor.
respondent of the Sum- is one of the oldest
and most reliable Of the Washington letter
writers.
From that paper Of the same date, We
learn that CHARLES /. Roe, who murdered
his wife, near Salem, short time siuce,.
had been arraigned before the district
court in that place--Plend guilty, and BY
Judge BOISE, was sentenced to be executed
on Saturday, the I'd day of April next.
The STANDARD, Of March I'd, contains o
a letter from an up-country correspondent
stating that Capt. ARCHER, in command OF
Ft. Simcoe, had apprehended and shot an
other of the Indian outlaws on the l6th
ult. The correspondent continues: /:
"This makes the 10th of these offenders, whoY
Capt Archer has brought to summary tusee, inclod

A Word 10 Correspondents.

A Word 10 Correspondents. -Correspon-
dents should remember, that no matter
how much pleasure it usually affords on
editor to receive communications for his
paper, it is an Interference with bis other
duties, and rather an imposition and in
fraction upon his time, if he is compelled
to recopy them. Now if some have not
read their productions in print, ere this,
the foregoing remarks will furnish an ex-
PLANTATION. Persons who are not good chi
rograPhers, but who have ideas to advance,
we can have oil due patience with. We
are not referring to them But it is really
shameful for such as do write q fair hand
well, and correctly, to send a mess of
hieroglyphics to an editor, expecting him
to cipher them out and put them in shape.
We hope for an improvement in this mat
ter for the future.
Again, we have before us two communi-
cations-"ARGus," and "X. D." that
are dished up, sprinkled and spced with
personalities to such an extent as to destroy
the wholesome tenure of their articles.
You know better, both of you and if you
viii re-write your MSS, and amend as in
dicnted, it will afford US pleasure to pub
lish them.
Once and for all, nee ,ciH pay no attention
i0haterer to anonymous communications +; and
here goes three of that kind now into the
stove. We must know the real names Of
all who may desire to appear in an article
over fictitious signature. Personalities
must be avoided, except in cases of self
defense and writer's must discriminate be-
tween mans public or political, and pri-
rate character. A mans Prirate character
is not public property, and should not thus
be made use Of in the columns of a news
paper with impunity, unless demanded by
au unavoidable necessity.

disturb the harmony and threaten the integri-

Of tedious repetition.) by way Of showing what
that new issue is, or probably will be, and we

We insist that an smigrant going into Fed

which he took with him, until there is some
prohibition enacted by lawful authority.

his New Orleans speech, and the overwhelming
reasons which support it.

that Congress cannot interfere with the rights
Of property in the Territories.

Court which declares that Territorial Leg

on them, with proper limitations, before the

THE FIFTH DlsTRIcT-The canvass in the above
district wakes warm. What the result may be re-
mains to be seen. Whether the "Oppositionists"
in that district will still adhere to Mr.. Gilmer spite
of his peculiar course in Congress, the first Thurs
day in August will show. There is this fact patent
however, that NJ Q. Waddell, Esq, gentleman of
Mr.. Gilmers own party, who withdrew from the
canvass two years since for the harmony of that
party, states distinctly that Mr. Glmer then volun-
tarily pledged himself on his honor to Mr.. Waddcl
that if he, Mr. Waddel, wished to be candidate the
next time, to wit, now, that he, Mr. Gilmcr, would
not be in his way. We have every reason to believe
that Mr. Waddell is perfectly correct in this state
ment that is, that his recollection is perfectly
rate-of course it is out of the question to suppose
that gentleman occupying Mr.. Waddells position
would make statement about matter like this,
which he did not believe to be true. But the cir
cumstances, as we happen to know them; convince
US that Mr.. Gilmer actually did make the pledge
promise referred to by Mr.. Wsddell.
Mr.. Williams the Democratic candidate in that
district, bears himself WELL and ably advocates the
true Democratic doctrines without reference to out
side influence Should Mr.. Williams be elected, as
we hope he may, the district will have representa-
tive of which it will have no cause to be ashamed,
but OIL the contrary, one of whom it may well be
proud Wilmington Journal

LETTER FROM HoN. CALEB CUSHING ON THE Pro
lection AFFORDED BY NATuRALIzATIoN-T follow
ing letter from able expounder of international
law, General Gushing, is brief and to the point:
Boston, June 1s, 1859.
SIR: In response to your inquiry as to what legal
condition you, born in Turkey, and naturalized
citizen of the United States, will have in Turkey du-
ring proposed sojourn there, state:
The laws of the United States do not admit the in
deeasibility of natural allegiance The assertion of
the right Of selfexpatration is oneof the principles
of the fundamental public law of the American
Union. We hold that the power to change domicil
is of universal natural right subject only to such
conditions may be requisite to reconcile the gene
raj with individual interests These conditions are
the exercise of good faith in the time and circum-
stances and in the purpose of the change of domcl
the actual consummation of the purpose, and the
discharge of all subsistng obligations in or to the
country left Such, according to my understanding
of the matter always has beeE and still continues
to be- the doctrine maintained by the American gov
ernment
1t being material to you, however, to possess off,
cal assurance on this point, have presented your
case to the notice of the Secretary of State, and
have his answer to the effect that, in the case of
person emigrating to the United States and becom-
ing naturalized here with present liabilities to
his native country, military other, existing against
him at the time of his emigration-in such case the
law of nations, in the opinion of the American gov
ernment gives no right to any foreign country to in
terfere with him. and the attempt to do so would be
considered an act unjust in itself and unfriendly to
the United States. And, therefore, subject to the
reservations above stated you will be entitled in Tur
key to be regarded as citizen of the United States
am, respectfully,
G. GUSHING.

The RIGHT DocrR1NE.-The Democratic party of
Vermont in State Convention, passed the following
resolutions:
Resolred, That the democracy of Vermont, in the
language of the Cincinnati National Democratic Con-
venton of 1856, recognize and adopt the principles
contained in the organic laws establishing the Terri
tories OF Kansas and Nebraska, as embodying the
only safe and sound solution of the slave question
non-nterference by Congress with slavery in State
or Territory, or in the District of Columbia.
Resotred, That this was the basis of the Compro-
mise Measures of 1850, confirmed by both the dem
ocratc and wing parties in 1852 rightly applied to
the organization of territories in 1854 and trium-
phantly ratified by the people in the election of 1856
Resotoed, That strict unyieldng adherence to and
uniform application of this democratic principle to
the organization of the territories leaving the people
thereof perfectly free to form and regulate their do
nestle institutions, in their own way, subject only
to the Constitution of the United States will eec
tuay and forever defeat and put down sectional leg
lslaton and agitation protect the rights of all the
States. and the citizens of every portion thereof
and maintain the prosperity, peace and harmony of
the Union.
Resolced, That the administration of James Bu-
chanan IS entitled to the confidence and approval of
the democracy of Vermont. 1t has firmly main-
tanned our honor abroad, and fearlessly sustained
the constitutional rights of every part of our CON-
mon country.
Did any one ever hear of an Opposition Conven-
ton at the North enunciating such bold and correct
principles as the above? Whenever the northern
democracy is struck down, the true friends Of the
Constitution and Union will have cause to mourn.
