Tyranny of Congress.

The tyranny of Congress is undeniablC
and complete. The refusal by it to re-
ceive certain petitions, on former occa'
sion, reused the wrath Of the Northern
people, and made fanatics by the mil
lion. But now Congress afirms the
right of search, which the Constitution
forbids, as it then was charged with for
bidding the right of petition which the
Constitution.conceded to the people. A
resolution that seizing papers and pri-
vate kilograms was violation of the
Constitution was not entertained, even
for the purpose of inquiry. Whether
acts Of the usurpers are legal is not to be
investigated. The House regarded Van
Tromp's resolution to obtain the key OF
the French bHstile" at Mount Vernon
for Wooley's new prison as insulting its
dignity. Honest men find it difficult to
sit in the House without insulting its
dignity. Surratt Bingham and Spoon

Hon. George H. Psndlston.

From the Clermont (0) SUM-
Closely and carefully have we been
watching the Democratic pulse, through
our exchange list, touching the nomina-
ton of this distinguished statesman for
the Presidency, since the 9Th OF January
last, when the delegates to our State
Contention at Columbus, without a dis
sentiDg voice, declared so enthusiastical-
ly in his favor; and never have we found
so much perfect unanimily of sentiment
in our party.
Mr.. Pendleton is with the Democracy
of the West universal favorite. From
the anvil, the chisel and the pillow, we
hear but this general expression: Give
us Pendleton upon his own platform-the
payment of the bonds in greenbacks-
and it is all we ask" with him as our
standard-b bearer all will be we'll.
What thrill of 1--WE had almost said
pride) gratitude must pass through the
heart of this distinguished patriot and
statesman to know that he possesses, in
such an eminent degree, the confidence,
respect and esteem of his fellow-citizens.
In the person of Hon. George II. PEN
dleton we find all the elements of true
greatness; the statesman, the orator,
the philanthropist and true Christian.
So pure is his morality that not Radi-
cal is found unblushing enough to at
tempt, with tongue or pen, to tarnish it,
Thus does the young statesman of Ohio
stand to- day; occupying the highest
niche in the temple of fame and chal-
longing the admiration of his fellow
citizens. If Pendleton he made the
nominee in New York on the 4th of July,
we will carry every Western State by
overwhelming msjorities.

Oregon Election.

The election in Oregon for one Con-
gresham is important, as showing the
way the wind blows in the West The
gains have been steady for the last two
years. The calculation of some of our
exchanges, just preceding the election,
was that the rate of increase to the Dem
ocratic side, lift had continued as before
to this time, would give the State by
twelve hundred. And that is the figure
at which we have carried it. 1t is no
sudden spssm, but an EVIDENCE of gradual
progress and reform, which is going on
all over the West. We feel sanguine,
from all the signs, OF carrying the West
for any Democratic candidate for Presi-
dent the Convention will nominate.
