been done by the representatives of
that, portion of Washington Territory,
whose constituents have never had
any commercial connection with the
Columbia Basin. The Register must
be aware that there is little band of
official reptiles living over on the
Sound, that has traded and fattoned
upon this question Of the commerce
of the Columbia Basin. The facts are
notorious and call aloud for reforma'
tion; and if there was no other reason
for the rectification Of the boundaries
of Oregon and adjacent territories, it
would be found in the fact that the
dearest interests of the people of the
interior are legislated upon by men
who have no interest in the matter,
beyond an annual subsidy of black
mail.

THE REGISTRY LAw.-At the Spe-
cial Session aregistry law was passed,
which takes effect at once The first
registration commences at least sixty
days before election, and the registers
must be closed thirty days before that
event. The County Court of each
county is empowered to appoint a
Precinct Register for each precinct,
and he must be q freeholder. A strin-
gent oath is required of persons ap-
pearing for registry, unless of those
who have received the amnesty of the
President all such may plead their
free pardon for acts of rebellion, and
avoid the taking of the oath. 1t seems
that all who are worth less than $780,.
600 have experienced executive Glenn
ency, unless prescribed for holding of.
fee in the rebel government, and from
this fact it is fair to infer, that the
practical working Of the law will not
be "to prevent the unspeakable calam'
ity of allowing Missourians to vote J"
but, on the contrary, it demands that
all men who have never been in rebel,
lion shall take the test oath, while
those who have been, and are pardon
ed, go scor>free. 1t is properly a law
to compel Union men to swear allies
glance to. what they were always in
favor Of, and to fan the animosity
of ex.rebels, without in any way i'm.
peding them in participating in the
election. A little common sense would
have taught, that it is easier to induce
these ex-rebels to vote right, by ar.
gument, than to control them by pro
scription. A registry law is good
thing; for if the electoral right is
worth having it is worth guarding,
until absolute purity is secured in
elections. Without this security, an
elective government is farce; it il
anarchy intrenched behind the forms
of law; the mob ruling the intelli
gence of the country. But this regis
try law is not worth the paper it i
written on. 1t involves considera
BILE expenditure of money it create
a little army of office.holders; it ap
plies to Union men the tests intende,
for ex-rebels; it recognizes the an
mosities engenderedb by the civil wal
without in anywise remedying then
and, in short, is impotent, except fo
the purpose Of rousing the bad pal
sions of men, without adding one ad
ditional security TO the elective frar
chise.

THE DIVISION OF THE STA re. /.


sition to divide the State of Oregon
has been seized upon by men of all
parties. residing in all sections of the
State, is the best proof that can be Of
fered of heacceptability of the scheme
to the public mind; and it is also an
evidence of its wisdom, which cannot
be controverted. Commenting upon
this topic, the Oregon Statesman re-
marks:
"This will doubtless be aqueston in
the next canvass. 1t is to be gener.
ally discussed. The proposition now
stands as follows: Give Oregon all
west of the Cascade mountains, and
lying between California and British
Columbia; form new State or Ter
ritory east of the Cascades, out of the
territory which would be detached by
the Cascade line from Oregon and
Washington. 1t will take time to ac-
complish it, and by the time the ma
chinery can be set at work, the people
east of the mountains may be ready
and able for State organization. We
are in favor of the division, and sug-
gest to the people that the question
is one to be reasoned about with good
feeling and common sense, and not
one which should be Influenced by
politics or sectional prejudice The
interests of the two sections are di-
verse in many matters, and require
legislation suitable to their peculiar
circumstances. 1t is for the best in.
terests of both sections that the ques-
tion be met aud disposed of as be.
comes men who desire to promote the
interests of each other,and the general
welfare of all" . .,t a r,.
This is subject of vast moment
when we thihk that by this division
another State will be added te
the Union, and by it that Oregon is te
take on those boundaries which she
will probably retain as long as the
American Union endures. In form
ing States and Territories, it is too
frequently the case that the bounda'
ries are not sufficiently considered il
their relation with the progress o
events. Thus, if it had been said sil
years ago that the Columbia Basir
would be yielding twenty Dad milion
of gold and silver byethis time, thu
prophecy would have, been treatet
| with derision; even now, there ar
thvse who cannot realize the proba
ability that in ten years this interio
will have its fields and pastures oc
cupied its industry upon u sound an,
productive basis its water,power uti
lied; the navigation of it's rivers i'm
proved, and thousands of enterprise
of public and private Importance &c
ing successfully forward.
If we take this division scheme i
hand, canvass it in the light of reason
without prejudice, sectional or politi
> cal; weigh well the probabilities; &C

TO THE PUBLIC.

HNHE NEW YORK NEWS has battled
against despotism for four years of
blood and terror, in assertion OF the sane
tity or the Constitution. A patriotism suf-
iicieptly broad to embrace both sections
mas been Its only guide, and it refers now
with honest pride to its record to show
that it has not turned to the right or the
left under all the violence Of arbitrary
power. True to its principles az THE
NEWS has been through the reign Of ter
ror, 1T challenges public confidence in it's
honesty and independence for the future.
The political transition of the present
day opens to THE NEWS new and wider
field OF usefulness. Standing now, as it
always has, on the inviolability Of the
Constitution, according to the interpreta-
ton OF the strict constructionists, it pre-
sents rallying ground for all, in both sec
tons, who are friends of a generous con
servatlsm. AS true and tried exponent
OF sectional amity, it occupies a position
which makes it the fitting mediator in
holding up to the party Of order in both
sections, interests and principles that gave
breadth and vitality to their alliance. As
an lntersectional agent, devoted to free
dom OF election, to trial by jury, to the
sanctity OF the hdteds corpus, and opposed
now, as for four years of terror it has been.
to the Capitalization that darcs to trample
on the rights OF States, North or South.
THE NEWS places itself as candidate
for support before the great body of this
once free people.
The circumstances of the moment make
the dissemination of the principles of THE
NEWS duty Of individual patriotism.
Every man who concurs in it's doctrine
must, il he entertain true sense Of free
dom, do so in no spirit Of Indifference, but
rather with the earncstness Of q high trust.
Justlhed-nay, bound-in his love Of liber-
ty, to do so, the proprietor places the can
vass he makes here of the public generally
IN the hands Of those men who give him
the approval Of their consciences as his in
6iIyldual agents. Every reader Of THE
NEWS cannot avoid the conviction of duty
which is here pointed out as the ground Of
the request, that he urges its claims for a
wider support upon all Of his friends and
nc!ghbors who give their earnest sympa-
thies to the cause OF ''strict construction.
intersectional conciliation, and all the
rights OF the citizens under the system.
set up by our fathers, of liberty regulated
by law. The proprietor of THE NEWS
calls, therefore, upon good and true con-
servatives throughout the country to dis
charge to their convictions OF political
right at this great crisis in the country's
fortunes, the duty of giving to the ind
encc OF his paper-daily, semi-weeklyo
weekly-the wider power for good which it
seeks here through the service of it's indi-
vi''ual supporters.

CATCHING 4 BURGLAR.

It is a trite remark that ''truth is
stranger than fiction" Human na-
ture is so constituted that events
which, under ordinary circumstances.
would pass unnoticed, become, by
reason of some connection with IN
extraordinary incident or otherwise,
full of interest to the observer-ab-
sorbing, terrifying it may be-and
exercising, perhaps, lifelong intlu-
ence on the mind of the person in
terested. It is thus that poets and
lunatics are made.
There was worthy old gentleman,
not long ago, living in one of the
most fourishing cities in Western
New York, whose life had been un-
chequered and serene, passed in the
bosom of the Methodist Episcopal
Church. whereof he was q most
worthy and esteemed member, and
also filled acceptably to the church
the high Office Of deacon.
The old gentleman had wife, as
most men have who have arrived at
years of discretion and are deacons in
the Methodist Church, woman of
rare virtues, who, unlike the deacon,
was possessed Of remarkable resolu-
tion and courage, which had, more
than once, been severely tested, but
from every trial of her nerves the
resolute lady had emerged triumph
ant.
The deacon, albeit, of most amia-
bic and kindly disposition, was, per
haps, under some circumstances, "in
point OF fact" as Micawber hath it.
somewhat timid. In short, the grew
mare was, with due respect, the bet
ter horse
The glee with which the lady was
accustomed to relate the incident,
which it is our purpose to record,
was only surpassed by the intense
chagrin with which the worthy dea-
con was accustomed to listen. To
''begin at the beginning" it is neces-
sary to premise that the deacon was
in the habit Of making his wife his
banker, during any temporary nb-
sence from home, and to intrust he1
with whatever surplus funds he might
have on hand, which she would de-
post in place of security until his
return. This arrangement was not
displeasing to h.r, except so far as
g1c6sfa tr6sS became q temptation fol
disposed persons, and thus occa.
stoned somo apprehcnsions for its
safety, and if the package vas not al
? together intact when returned to the
deacon, it is of no particular interest
to others.
On ono occasion, certain friends OIL

persuaded him that too severe and
iong,s continued application to his

powerful hand descending on his un-

howl which woke the echoes in the

stars, start from their spheres, while
visions Of tomahawk and scalping-
knife flashed across his imagination,
