TIE ELECTION or PaEsipENT AND VICE
PRESIDENT IN CONGRESS The Commercial,
OF yesterday, had an article on the cleo.
ton Of President, and Vics Prsaident in
Congress, full Of gr6ss errors xnd mis-.
takes. Its political analysis is either die
tsted by Ignorance, or . desire to benefit
Breckenridge and Lane, BY creating the
impression that they have much larger
strength in that body than they really
possess. Read the following:
HOUSE, OF REPRESENTATIVES, BREcK.
INRIDGE STATES Arkansas,
California, Delaware, Florida, Georgia,
Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri. Oregon,
South Carolina, Texas and Virginia. IL.
tai 49,
Now, in the House each State has but
one vote, and the aority of the delega.
ton decides for whom that vote shall be
cast. From tho above thirteen States
which are put down for Breckenridge must
be deducted Arkansas, one of whose two
representatives, Mr.. Rust, is on the Doug.
las National Committee, and who would
never vote for Breckenridge; Louisiana,
lro OF whose .tonr Representatives Miles
Taylor and Mr.. Bouligny, are against
breckenridge, the former being on the
Douglas National Committee; Texas, one
OF whose tmo Representatives, Mr.. Hamil
ton, is for Douglas, and then for Bell, ia
preference to Breckenridge and Missouri,
hre OF whose seren Representatives are
for MIR. Douglas. These four States being
snbtracted from breckenridge leaves him
but nine States, when sercmicen are re-
CURED to elect. The House Of Represen.

FOURTH GUN FROM ILLINOIS


The fourth election which has been
held since the opening Of the prescn,
campaign has resulted in the choice, on
Monday last, Of Democratic Mayor,
George II. Buck, for the city of Lasalle,
in the Republican county Of Lssalle, by
l75 majority. The whole Democratic
ticket, with the exception of one Alder.
man, was elected BY like majority. This,
considering the fact that the city of La.
sale has hitherto been strongly Republi.
can, is glorious triumph, and tells the
rapid strides which the Democracy are
making in Illinois. Three times three
for the gallant Democracy Of Illinois!

IMPORTANT FROM OREGON.

BY the arrival of the Pony Express, we
have San Francisco dates to the 10Th of
September. From Oregon the political
news is of an interesting character. The
Legislature. composed Of fifty members,
met at Salem on the 10th ult., and were
vested with the power of elccting two
United States Seuators-one for Fl We and
the other for six years. The Legislature
stands twenty.one Douglas Democrats,
sixteen Breckinridge Democrats, and thir.
teen Republicans. In caucus the Doug
las party nominated Col T. u. Baker and
s. W. Nesmith for Senators, and il was
understood the Republicans would
unite with them in their election The
Breckenridge party, learning this determi-
nation on the part Of the Republicans, six
OF the State Senators absconded from
Salem on the morning Of the llth, leav-
ing that body without quorum, and in
that condition continued until the depar-
ture Of the Express.
The Senate passed resolution ordering
the Sergeant.at-Arms to compel the at
tendance Of the absent members. and to
call whatever aid was necessary to &C.
complsh it. On tho 18th the officer of
the Senate was at Corvallis, with a posse
Of citizens, searching for the absconding
Senators, who, on his arrival, had taken
to the brush, and scattered in various di-
rections, to avoid arrest They had all
been stopping at Corvallis since leaving
the Senate. One was arrested by depu.
ty, tu. subsequently escaped. An attempt
will be made by the Breckenridge men to
defeat quorum in the House, to prevent
the election Of Baker and Nesmith, but it
will prove unsuccessful. A want Of a
quorum in the Senate will not necessarily
prevent an election.
The names Of the absconAiny Senator'S
are Florence, Monroe, Berry, McHenry,
titzhugh and Shelby-the latter a son in.
law Of Gen. Lane. The California papers
charge that Shelby is acting under direc.
tons from Gen. Lane himself, but wheth-
err this be true or not, he is acting in bad
faith to his constituents, and to the people
of the whole State. The next Express
will probably bring the news of the cleo
ton Of Baker and Nesmith.

our republican friends produce the record
and establish the contrary, or manfully
acknowledge that they have slandered the
man. DouGLAs ia an avowed manly ad.
vocate Of the measure, and his record sus'
tains him.
On the contrary, how stands the Repub.
'ican party on this measure? If they are
the warm friends of the Homestead bill,
which they profess to be, did they not per-
petrate an act of gross Inconsistency when
they nominated for Vice President of the
United States an avowed opponent Of the
measure "a man who by voice and vote
opposed its passage? While DcuGLAs
has uniformly voted in favor of ALL Home
stead bills, whether satisfactory to him in
every particular or not, only so that the
principle was rstained-IIAxlBAL HAAL,S
has placed he's rote on record against a
Homestead biW!,
On the 10th Of May, 1860, a Homestead
bill passed the Seuate-every Northern
Senator, except HANNIBAL HAMLlN, O.
Maine, now Republican candidate for Vice
President, voting in the affirmative. The
following gentlemen voted against the bill
NAYs-Messrs. Bragg, Clingman, Hun
ter, HAMllN, Mason, pearce, Powell and
Toombs.
Here We have tho proof--positive and
Observation-Disclosures Judge DOUGLAS is,
and always has been, aa alvoc ate Of a
jadicious Homestead law. To sustain this,
bis friends need not rely upon mere asssr
ton, but they can turn to the official pro-
ceedings of Congress, and there they will
find his votes and speeches recorded in
favor Of the passage of q Homestead
measure. Friends Of DoUcLAs, remember
this and When you hear a Lincolnite
prste about your candidates opposition to
free homesteads, challenge him to produce
the proof-to name the time and place
when DOUGLAS has BY word or deed op.
posed this great measure. If he can not
do this, then brand his charges as meanly
and contemp,ibly false, and ask him to
contrast the manly position Of Judge
DouGLAs with the shutting, jaus-faced
course of Hannibal Hamlin.
