An Iimctic.

The Express furnished its readers with an
emetic yesterday, in the shape of some stale
extracts token from the New York Day Book
and kindred incendiary sheets in the North,
which were, Jctorc tho taking of Fort Sumter,
permitted to print treason for circulation in
the Cotton States. The New FORK Day Book
was miserable concern used as medium
for advertising hy Northern merchants who
were exclusively in the Southern trade The
wretched trash it published was never mis-
taken for New York sentiment, any more
than the peace-Union cruel fed out by the
Express is taken for the sentiment of the
people Of Yuba county. The Day Book is
no longer permitted to outrage the Union
feeling in New York city. The Express is,
thanks to the enduring patience of our peo.
pie, Gong may it hold ouD still allowed to
pour out its wailings over the shocking
Treatment which jeff. Davis and his glorious
Southern Conlederacy is receiving from the
wicked and blool-thrsty people who are la
boring to perpetuate the existence of the
United states of America The Day Book
has been compelled to raise the American
flag. The Express does not raise the flag
either from choice or compulsion. The day
has gone by when traitors can hold high
carnival under the noses of the people of the
loyal States East of the Rocky Mountains.
Their weakness was in times past the guaran-
ty Of their safety. Now the people will not
permit treason to be printed in their midst
even for circulation abroad. We defy the
Express to quote any words of comfort for
the secession cause, from any paper printed
in New York or any other loyal Eastern
State, after the Herald and Day Book were
compelled to renounce their treason The
stulf which the Express pe.ades as the "Voice
oi the Press" at the North was written at
the same time that the valiant Knights of
the Golden Circle i'll this State were preach
ing secession and Pacific Republic. The
tune is changed now. Since war has actual
ly broken out, the traitors who are not mn
der the immediate shade of the Palmetto
tree, are dfraid to talk as they did two
months ago. The effort to show that the
North is divided in sentiment on the war
question can only excite derision among
those who know how to read

Resolutions passed by The Democratic STATE
convention Of Pennsylvania, held at Har-
riS6Srg, February 2lst, and 29d, 1861:
ResOlred, That the States Of this Union
are sovereign and independent over every
subject not surrendered to the control Of
the Federal Government, and they have no
right to interfere with each others domes-
tic institutions, but are bound by the Con
stitution Of the United States to protect
and defend them against domestic insurrec-
tion as well as foreign invasion.
RssOlred, That the Government of the
United States, although limited in its au-
thority to the subjects enumerated In the
Federal Constitution, possesses within those
limits supreme authority, and has the usual
and necessary power for preserving itself
and enforcing its laws.
Resolred, That the Union of the States
was founded by the wisdom Of our patriotic
ancestors-is sanctioned by the experience
of our whole political existence, and has
secured to rs unexRmpled prosperity at
home and respect abroad. The Democratic
party will cling to it as the last hope Of
freedom, and as the great experiment in
selfgovernment, which is to light the ma
tions Of the earth to liberty and independ.
ence.
ReSolred, That the Democratic party
possesses the recuperative power which
nothing but integrity can give, and Is de-
termined to sacrifice on the altar Of patri-
otism all individual interest and past dis
sensions, and unite as q band Of brothers
to rescue the country from the control Of
those who are seeking its destruction; that
this country with the best form of gov ern-
ment that ever was devised, is surrounded
with dangers and difficulties which threat
en- its very existence; and yet the republi-
can party refuse all reasonable terms Of
compromise, and their leader on his way to
take possession of the Government, seem
ingly satis6edwith the disastrous culmina-
ton of his "irrepressible conflict" declares
there is nothing going wrong"
Resoired, That the people Of the South
ern States contributed their exertions and
treasure in the acquisition Of the Terrific
ries equally with those Of the other States,
and that the principle which recognizes tho
equal rights Of all the States to the same,
is founded on the cearest equity, and sup
ported by the decision OF the highest court
of the country. 1t ought, therefore to be
sustained by every law abiding citizen, un-
til satisfactory dividing line can be set

SENATOR BAKER.-The political course
Of Senator Baker has been as inconsistent
at Washington as in Oregon. 1t is well
known that Mr.. Baker, at times advocated
popular sovereignty in Oregon, while in
Sau Francisco he said-''If Mr.. Seward
said there is an irrepressible conflict, l in
dorse it, God be with bim2"' amidst 'irre-
pressible applause"
At the commencement Of the late Con-
gress this gentleman made an ultra speech
that discouraged the Union men very much,
insomueh as he had then just returned
from Springfield, and was supposed to have
reflected the sentiments Of the President
elect.
In later speech, however, he expresses
a willingness to throw overheard the Re
publican party; and has already jumped
of the Chicago platform. If the Senator
had only voted for the Crittenden compro-
mise be would have truly represented the
people of this coast. The Democratic par
ty of Washington Territory heartily iHdO' Sc
that compromise Senator Baker finds now
that Republicanism and the Union are
not convertible terms" and thus kicks up
his heels because the party harness chafes
him, and Greely and the abOlitionists are
cracking their whips over his head. He
says:
II am appealed to often; it is said TO me
"You believed in the Chicago platform
Suppose did "WelI, this varies from the
Chicago platform" Suppose it does. l
stand today as believe, ia the presence
Of greater events than those which attend
the making of a President. stand, as l
believe, at least, in the presence of peace
and war; aud if it were true that l did vi
olato the Chicago platform, the Chicago
platform is not a Constitution of the Uni
ted States to me. If events, if circum-
stances change, will violate it, appealing
to my conscience, to my country, to my
God, to justify me according to the mo-
tive"

The special Washington correspondence
is filed with reports Of warlike charac.
ter, which may be thus summed up:
On the night of the Sd April steamer
attempted to enter Charleston harbor. She
refused to show her colors, and was fred
into by the battery on Morris Island, and
put to sea.
1t is not yet settled whether Pickens has
been already reinforced
1t is believed the activity in the Navy is
designed for the collection of revenue in the
Southern ports on shipboard. Other &C.
counts say it is for the purpose of prevent
ing the seizure of San Domingo by Spain.
The policy of the United States Govern
ment now is, to hold Pickens at all hazards,
and reinforce it if necessary.

BoUSDARY LANE BErWEEN WASHINGTON
TERRIroRY AND OREGoS - Under instruc.
tons from the Commissioner Of the Gen
eral Land oaico Col. w. w, Chapman,
surreyor-ceneral of Oregon. and james
Tlton, ESQ, sarveyOr General Of this Ter.
ritory, made joint report to the depart
ment last fall in regard to running the
boundary line between Oregon and Wash
ingiOu. In their paper they recommended
that Captain w. w. DeLacy bc placed ia
charge Of the work at per diem compen
sation, as Il was thought that, on account
Of the smallness of tho appropriation, and
the exceedingly rugged character Of the
mountainous country over which the lin,
passes, that . competent contractor would
lose money.
Inreply TO this letter, however, the Com
missioner declines the suggestion, and states
that q competent person must be engaged
as contractor to do the work for the com
pensatiOn Of $4,500-the amount appro
prialed.
We regret very much this decision o.
the Commissioner, for we do not believe
that any astronomer can furnish the instrn
ments and run the line at these rates with
out loss. The Commissioner has but ar
inadequate idea Of the expenses Of such a
survey, and the character Of the Blue
Mountains.
There is an immediate and pressing ne
cessity for running this boundary, in order
that the fractional tiers Of townships clos.
ing on It may be marked with accuracy.
The boundary commences at the inter
section Of the Columbia river with the 4Gth
deg. Of latitude, about two miles south ol
Old Fort Walla Wnlla, and follows thai
parallel to its intersection with the Snake
river. The Tuma-lum valley is inconVe.
niently placed by this line in Oregon. II
naturally belongs to Washington Territory
The boundary between Oregon and Wash,
ington is about -four miles South of the
