Oregon Admitted,

Well the Democracy have perpe-
trated the hypocritical farce of ad.
mitting Oregon, with less thae 50,
900 of q population, after passing a
special act prohibiting the admission
OF Kansas until she hsd sufficient
population to entitle her to a mem,
ber OF Congress, or in other words
until she had over $4,000 of a popu.
lation. Kansas might come in as a
slave state, with her present popula-
ton, because that would be equiva-
lent to converting her into "Demo.
cratic" state, but il she prefer to re-
main and como in as free state and
consequently a Republican state

HousI.--Mr. English. of Indiana
reported bill establishing many
new post routes, giving authority to
the Postmaster General to contract
tor carrying the mails according to
the existing laws on all public road
which have been or shall be con
structed, and when. in his opinion,
the public convenience required it.
During the debate on this bill, Mr.,
English, in reply to a question put
by Mr.. Jones oi Tennessee, said that
there was in the bill a provision f,r
a route from st. Paul, MINES ota, to
tue Pacific.
Mr.. Jones replied that they had
already an overland mail to the Pa
ciiic, which would prove a curse to
the country at a cost Of 5000, 900 per
annum in six years.
Mr.. English said that there was
nothing in this bill requiring service
to be put on tho route from St. Paul
to the Pacific.
MIR. Jones moved TO table the bill,
which motion was negstived. Yeas,
so; nays, 9s.
Mr.. Jones then moved to strike
out the clause establishing q pos,
route from st. Paul to Puges's
Sound.
Mr.. WAshburne, OF Illinois, said
that a. there was q route from the
Sonth to the Pacific, there should al.
go be one from the North. :.
Mr.. Phelps, Of Minnesota. offered
an amendment, directing the Post
master General to contract for mail

or semi.weekly. Disagreed--yeas,
