DELu~roN SMITH, OF OREGON Another
great l,gh. of democracy has been snuffed
out, Un ted States Senator Delazon Smith.
better known for nearly twenty years as
"Delusion' Smith, whose term ex ired last
March, in ended to be re elected by the or-
eyon legislature, but though the par y had
forty three out of the fifty members, and
thonph Delusion obtained the caucus nomi-
ma ion by % to 81, his opponents joining
the Republicans, prevented joint conven-
ton.
There was little scene between Senator
Hale and Delusion last winter, which Is too
good to be lost, and which we have never
seen reported. Senator Hale was opposing
an appropriation for Indian war expenses
in Oregon, and mentioned that gentleman
from W Washington territory had heard 1t re-
marked there that money was scarce and
times hard, and that they never would be
better, unit, somebody got up an Indian war
and the federal government disbursed some
cash. Delusion, whose little body gives no
more Indication of his enormous brazen
voice than frogs, rose in great wrath, DO.
MED the truth Of the story, and demanded
the name Of Mr.. Hale's informant. Mr.
Hale demurred, and was unwilling to EN-
barrass the unknown gentleman; shut" said
he, "suppose We call him Jones or Smith
or something of that Sort"
Delusion-sMr. President, that is al
! evasion. The senator knows that Smith il
no name."

President; can that be true? Is Smith NJ

WESTERN LANDs.-Prof. Henry, of the
Smithsonian Institute, says that all the
land, after going hundred and fifty miles
west of the Missouri river, from Lake Win.
nepeg in the north, to the Gulf Of Mexico,
in the south, is of little agricultural value,
excepting about one hundred and fifty or
two hundred miles in width on the Pacific.
I'll reason is that the moisture of the air
oou,ing from the Pacific ocean eastward is
absorbed by the mouatain ranges. 1t is
stated that me rains in Iowa come from the
eastward, ing supplied from the Atlantic
cean. Il mid seem, therefore, that there
is au the: current of air in the more north
crn latitude of the Union, which supplies
the moisture to tho States on this side OF the
Missouri. Iowa, therefore, and Missouri,
TORN the most desirable States ON the west
of the Mississippi, and Iowa, being free
State, las the preference.

Republican State Convention, held the previ-

broad enough for every freeman Of the lsssd

"Resolved, That we condemn in unmeas-

The Hon. Felix X. Zollicofer, Of Ten-
nessee, having been requested by number
Of foreign-born citizens Of Nashville to de6ns
his views on the assumed right Of foreign
governments to claim military service from
naturalized American citizens, replies in a
letter, In which hs emphatically and explicitly
repudiates the doctrine avowed by Secretary
Cass in his Hofer and LIE Clerc letters. He
puts the case pretty strongly, thus: Suppose
foreign government, with which The United
States was at war, should impress natural
lied American citizen. In that case, he would
not only be forced, in violence to his own
feelings, to fight against his adopted country,
where his wife and children and possessions
were, but he would be liable, on seizure, to be
hanged as a traitor, for giving ''aid and
comfort to the enemy.

CoRwIN DEFINES HIS Position Hon. Tom
Corwin opened the campaign in Ohio by
addressing mass meeting at Xenis, on the
18th inst. He commenced his speech by
stating that he wished to correct the misrep-
reservations that he had disavowed any con.
nection with the Republican party. He had
acted with the party since its organization,
and should continue to do 80. He only diff
fered with those who believed that any fue4-
tive slave law was unconstitutional, but was
in favor of absolutely prohibiting slavery in
the Territories. So long as there was 4
question Of slavery or no slavery, he was With
the Republicans. Gov. c. said he did not
like the fugitive slave law-would not have
voted for it-but it is the Law, and there was
no alternative but to obey or repeal it: He
ridiculed squatter sovereignty, and opposed
fillibusterism and governmental extravagancs.
1t is stated that his speech was very favorabiy
received. .:
