The OREGON CONGRESSIONAL ELEcrIoN-A
DEFEAT OF THE REGENcY.-It appears that Da.
vid Logan, republican, has been elected to Con-
eress from Oregon, over Lansing Stout, demo-
Graf. This result should the Presidential con-
test be thrown into the House, will be to the de-
mocracy the loss Of State equal to New York
in the House election, in which each State gives
but one vote. True New York will have thirty
three members to cast her one vote, while Ore
gon will have but one member to do the work;
but the vote of Oregon will still be precisely of
the same value as that of the Empire State. In
this view, therefore, this success Of the republi
cans in Oregon is most important victory.
But how were the democracy to signally upset
in Oregon? By the Regency-the spoils and

THE LETTER OF SENATOR DoUGLAs.-A
Washington dispatch to the New York Her
aid gives the substance of the late letter
from Senator Douglas, on the rights of nat
uralized citizens and the slave trade, as fol-
lows
Z The letter from Judge Douglas to Col.
Peyton covers two points: Naturalization
and the African slave trade, substantially as
follows:
There can be no difference in degrees of
proportion accorded by the Government to
native and naturalized citizens. Our con-
stitution recognises no difference in this re-
spect. fla person can expatriate himself
from n foreign government, and swear ALE
glance to this, and still owe anything to the
foreign power, he is in the singlar and in
credible predicament of owing allegiance to
two countries, without being entitled to the
protection of either. He would accord the
fullest protection to all citizens.
Upon the slave trade he says:
In Convention the Constitution was the
creature of compromise, and the African
slave trade was the subject. South Carolina
and Georgia wished 10 continue III, VIZ
ginia, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New
York wished it terminated, New England
was passive in the matter. South Carolina
and Georgia finally carried theirpoint, of con-
tinuance till the year 1908, with the UNDER
standing that it should then end. 1t, there
fore, became a vital compromise of the
instrument, and must be held as sacred as the
instrument itself. In this view, Judge
Douglas declared himsef to be irrevocably
opposed to re-opening theAfrican slave trade.
This is the only letter. and it is very brief or
manifesto, which Judge Douglas has in view
to make public. His leisure is devoted to
research upon those great questions, which
will engage the attention of the Senate, next
winter. His position upon territorial sover-
eighty he will maintain to the death.
