on Wednesday evening last for regular
service, this being the first service held
in it since the great food four week,

considerable damage. The Sunday

worthless, and the same Is tho case
with the pulpit hymn book and Bible.

aged so as to be useless. The loss
comes hard upon the congregation which
has been struggling along gradually
surmounting many difficulties, and any
favor which any charitaoly disposed
person may feel disposed to confer, will
be thankfully received by Rev. Isaac
II. White. the pastor, or other known
friends Of the church. The total loss
is about $75.

A meeting was held at Salem. Ore
gon, on Wednesday last, at which
majority CT the journals Of Oregon and

of Mr.. s. Clarke. the following Was
adopted with but one dissenting vote:
Whereas, The journalism Of State is
An index Of it, culture, intelligence and
morality and should be the conservator
Of true principles and correct action,
and not the vehicle Of unlicensed and
unprincipled prejudice and SANDER;
therefore,
Resolved, That the Press Association
present to the Honorable the Legisla-
tive Assembly Of this State, now in
session, that Il il advisable that ef6-
Gent legislation shall be had that shall
define the responsibilities Of public jour
mails, and offer o check to undue Ii
cerse, and that spirit of defsmstion
sometimes prevalent and which is al-
ways to be deplored - an injury to so
cial progress. as we'll Is to individual
right. We desire the press should be
held sharply responsible for any
undue transgression against private
rights and the sacred ties of family"
Mr.. Chapman. Of the Portland Bee,
not only voted against this resolution,
but withdrew from membership on its
passage, and subsequently denounced
il - surrender of the freedom of the
press. No editor who respects the
honor Of bis vocation. desires protection
in tho freedom and exemption from the
responsibility OF "transgressing private
rights and the sacred ties of family" in
other words, 10 have the gentlemen of
the press put on the same footing a. the
blackguards who may have control over
newspapers. As tho opportunities Of the
journalist for personal defamation arc
greater. 90 should bis restrictions and
liabilities be greater, instead of less,
than those Of other members Of society.
The liberty Of the press. so essential
TO the maintenance of the liberties of
the people, should be strictly guarded
BY law against licentiousness. The ed
itor who abuses his position Is . con-
servator Of public morals and guarii-
an Of public rights, BY asssiling private
character and invading the sacred pre-
cincts of family. is no loss reprehensi-
bls than the public functionary who
uses his power for purposes of oppres-
sion and extortion. In view Of notori-
Gus facts. which have given rise to the

LxalsLATIvK J0URNAL.-There has
been much inquiry a. to why the jour
nal Of the proceedings of the last Log
ialstive Assemble had not been publish
al - provided for law. The blame, in
public estimation, naturally fell upon
the Secretary Of the Territory. whose
duty it was to superintend the publica-
ton. The letter Of Col. Owings. which
will be found in this paper. entirely
exhonerates that officer. and, We regret
to aay, fastens the responsibility Of .
most unaccountable and objectionable
neglect Of official duty upon the Clerk
Of the House, an officer over whom the
SECRETARY has no control. That Ross
OBricn. the genial gentleman, the de-
voted son and brother, should have
been thus faithless to his public obliga-
lions, while be was bsing used BY an
INSCRIPTIONS and malicious clique to
damage the regulations Of the men who
were suffering in public estimation by
his own omissions. Is most unpleasant

public offences, il prerogative Of SOW
