GOVER THE STATE LINE.l
Proceedings of the Oregon Legislature


SALEM, Oregon, Sept %.
After twenty ballots for L. S. Senators, the
House adjourned siae die yesterday at . o.
clock, on motion of Mr. Holbrook, (RepubH.
cam bya vote of seventeen to thirteen. The
Clerk of the House, after the adjournment,
transmitted the resolution to the Senate, and
that body laid it on the table.
The Oregon State Constitution contains a
clause, which says, "neither House shall have
power to adjourn without the consent of the
other for longer period than three days.
The Senate refused to adjourn. and insisted
that the adjournment of the House without
their consent was unconstitutional, while on
the ether hand the members of the House
claim that there was no Senate to ask the
consent of, as the Senate had been organized
without a quorum. Soon after the determin.
alton of the Senate not to adjourn became
known, and after many members of the House
had left for their homes, the Speaker of the
House convened all the members of the latter
body that the Sergean at-arms could drum
up in the city, and proceeded to do business
for several hours, taking no notice of the ad-
journment sine die. Many of the members
who voted for adjournment sine die took pant
in the proceedings after rre.assembling.
The secret of the re-sassembling was that
Speaker Hardin and his friends who arc for
the election of Baker and Nesmth, found,
after the adjournment, that there were Doug
lasites enough, ready and willing, to go into
fusion with the Republicans to elect the two
men named. Before the adjournment the
highest vote polled by Baker was fourteen
and Nesmith nineteen. 1t requires twenty
six votes to elect. Speaker Hardin voted
twice for Baker, so did Senator Ticknor
With these exceptions, Bakers vote was a
strict party one.
After re assembling, the House adopted a
resolution appointing five members to confer
with the President of the Senate and Gov
Of the State, relative to devising some plan
by which the organization of the Senate may
be perfected Said Committee were to re
port Monday at 10 o'clock P. NJ.
The case now resolves itself into this,
whether there is a Senate or not, if there is,
then the adjournment sine die of the House
amounts to nothing, if not, it is valid, and al.
though the process of eeeting Baker and
Nesmith may have gone through with, it will
be illegal.

LET THE PEOPLE REMEMBER.-Remember
that not a single delegate who voted for
Breckenridge and Lane, were authorized by
their constituency to participate in the Sece-
ders' Convention, save those from Texas, Ar
kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi Alabama and
Georgia
Let the people remember, That James Buch.
anan, after publicly admitting that j. G.
Brecknrdge is not the regular nominee yet
discharges every federal official who iavors
Mr.. Douglus-that he favors every fusion and
combination that looks to the defeat of the
nominee
Let the people remember, That Breckenridge
and Lane are candidates of and receive sup
port alone from those who are schismatics
and boilers from the platform and Conven-
ton Of the National Democracy, and now
array themselves against the principles upon
which the people elected them to office.
Let the people remember, That what of evil
may grow out of the division of the party,
either 10y the election of Republican, or the
utter overthrow Of the only party that was
capable and willing to defend the South, has
been forced upon the country 10y the support
ers of Breckinridge and Lane.
Let the country remember, That the Democ-
racy have placed II sound platform and sound
candidates before them, and now appeal in
name Of patroti-m, honor and the unity oi
the States for their endorsement and support

A GRAND DEMOCRATIC RALLY.-The Democ-
racy were out in great numbers last evening,
to attend the first regular meeting of tie Cen
tral Club at their quarters in the new Music
Hall. The large room was packed to its
utmost capacity, and hundreds who could not
gain admittance were compelled to lose the
rich treat afforded by the speeches of glow
ing eloquence that were made to the enthusi
astic assembage. We do not remember ever
to have seen as large meeting assembled in
door, at the call of any political party in San
Francisco. More than three hundred persons
added their names to the roll of the Club
Messrs. ID. c. Taylor John Farrall, Nathan
Porter, John V. Watson, T. w. Freelon and
H. b. Jones addressed the meeting, and their
truthful, Democ attic and eloquent speeches
were each received with loud demonstrations
of unmistakable appreciation. We congratu-
late the Regular Democracy of San Francisco
upon the enthusiasm which evidently exists
in their ranks, and hereby send greeting to
the Democracy of the State, and assure them
that this city and county will give Douglos

IowA.-The Davenport Qowa) Democrat
and News has the following in relation to
the grand mass convention of the followers
of Breckenridge recently held in that State :
These gentlemen have held their mass con-
vention, and with all the gravity of profes-
sional pay.actors they performed the most
ridiculous farce we have ever witnessed on
any stage. After having been engaged for
weeks in corresponding with every post
mister and petty officer holder in the State,
they succeeded in procuring the attendance
Of not over fifty individuals. And when it is
recollected that every Federal oilice-holder
in the State was directed to appear under the
penalty of decapitation, the attendance at
this mass Convention (?) is indeed meagre
With all the GOODNESS ina ginable, these fifty
individuals assumed to themselves the title of
National Democrats" and undertook to die
tate to the Democratic party of Iowa the
terms upon which they will extend to them
the right hand of fellowship. Fifty individ-
uals extending "the right hand of fellowship"
to fifty thousand ! !! A good joke upon the
right hand Pretending TO stand upon prin
ciple if weare to Judge from their discussions,
their whole war Is upon Douglas. The eX-
clamaLion of every speeker seemed to be,
"Can not frame a fevered dream
But still the Douglas is the thence"
The San Francisco Nation is informed that
private letter from Iowa to very distin-
guished gentleman in this State, represents
the cause of Douglas and Johnson as having
gained so rapidly there that the State is
very generally conceded to them.

SALEM, (via. Yreka,) Sept. 25th
The six absent Senators returned yesterday
and ratified the informal proceedings had in
their absence.
The Governors message was sent into both
houses to-day. 1t is not entirely confined to
local affairs, but takes strong Breckinridge
and Lane grounds on national affairs
Both houses are now in full blast, and it
is expected the Baker and Nesmith coalition
will elect their men this week.

DOUGLAS PRosrEcrs.-We copy the follow
ing from the ST. Charles Reveille Of the 18th
u!t., an able and truthful democratic journal
published at st. Charles, Mo. The weight of
the odious Buchanan administration, togeth-
er with his sectionalism will be too great for
Breckinridge the Kentucky entry, and he
will not only be distanced but will let down
the way side The Reveile says:
The probabilities Of the election of the
regular Democratic nominees, Douglas and
johnson, are daily increasing. In the North
the opposition of the Administration to Mr.
Douglas is gaining him friends, aud in the
South, the danger that will arise from a divi-
sion il the Democratic ranks, is already be-
ginning to create hcsitancy in all who are
not bona fde disunionists. 1t is apparent that
Breckinridge and Lane will receive but little
support from the Democracy of the North.
and if they succeeded in getting the electoral
vote Of every Southern State, could not be
elected 10y the people; and they would have
but little prospect of winning in the House.
With such facts TO incte reflection before
embarkng in the cause, so rashly espoused
by the seeding delegates. the probabilities
are that the Southern Democracy will be
governed by the sober second thought, and
finally rally to the support of the regular
nominees.
