MU) OHIO RAIL Retard.—The editor cf the Commercial is "both surprised and mor tified" at the suggestion of the Baltimore American. He says:. "It is, in effect, an invitation to surrender out party 'organization, for a mere TIMPoR•HY POE rosE." This will be news, we think, to the good people of this city; they have generally believed that it was quite important to get the termisum of the Rail Road fixed at Pittsburgh, and if it should fail to be of permaaeat odvarstage, their disappointment will btrgreat indeed. Agairi, the editor says: "we are asked, for o were temporary control of local legislation," to surrender patty organization. Verb ly,,if the candidates upon the Wig Assembly _ticket, care trairnore for the Rail Road than their champion of the Commercial, judging from the tone of his arti cle, then are they very unsafe men to trust at Harris burgh. The editor, however, is entirely and widely mistaken. The Rail Road is not a mere "local goes- Lion." The people of the western counties generally have spoken out in reference to it; and as e‘idence that it is nut looked upon as a mere "local question," it is only necessary to state the fact, that the candi dates for the Legislature in the counties north and west of Allegheny have all been nominated in special reference to it. Hear him agnin: "But how is it that we are asked just now to "yield something to the Democrats?" This is a novel view of the question.— Are the Dernoctats alone interested in having Pitts burgh fixed as the terminating point of the Rail Road? If not, why does the editor talk about "yielding something to the Democrats?" The Democrats have rm more at stake than the whigs— they can as well af raid to loose the Rail Road as their opponents. It 44411 nonsense, therefore, to talk about "yielding aometkin-g to flit Democrals." The editor of the Baltimore American in hit great and sincere anxiety for the success of the Rail Road project, ventures to make a suggestion as to the best plan of securing the -infleerroe of nil partici. -in its favor, and in doing so has greatly "surprised and mortified" the editor of the Commercial. The editor declares that it is an insole to the integrity of the Legislature to suppose that they will more readily grant rite fight of way to a D'emocratie than a I ltrg delegation. 'We do not think so. It is perfectly natural for onereto ~fide more readily in friends than enemies. If yes stria men to Harrisburgh who cannot act in harmony with the majority, how can you hope to influence that ma jority'. You can only 'ufluence that majority by the power of truth; you must present such arguments and facts co-grill convince them of the justice of the measure—then you will succeed. It is idle to sup pose that you can influence that majority if you em ploy "means" by them regarded as "essestiolly tor' rupt;"—or. if yeu please, men in whom they have no kind of confidence—men who are at "dagger's points' wjththem upon most other subjects. The necessity of sending a delegation that can confer fully and act harmoniously with the majority of the Legislature, is so obvious, that we are surprised to find objection made to it-from any quarter, much less from these rro• fessing feiendiliip for the Rail Road measure. The editor of the Baltimore American takes the same view of the subject—ho'believes that it is im portant to send men to Hart isburgh who can harmo ni•te with the majority, and in his honest zeal for the Rail Road, ventured to make the suggestion, which has given so much offence to the editor of the Commer cial Journal. Tat GLZETTE—THIL RAIL Ro►D.—The Gazette , in publishing, the very valuable article of the Balti more American, omits an important part of it the paragraph which contains the suggestion of the editor as to the best mode of concentrating the necessary in fluence to secure the passage of a bill granting the Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road right of way to Pitts burgh, is omitted. The article is regarded as very flnportant by our citizens generally, because it emi notes from a paper known to be the organ of the Rail Road Company. Why then has the editor thus muti lated the article in question? The reason is plain— it paid a merited compliment to two influential Demo crats of this city, and intimated that they, if elected to the Legislatuto, could efficiently serve the people in the matter of the Rail Road. This, then is the a mount of the Gazette's friendship for the Rail Road. In thus omitting an important part of an article from • whig paper, merely because influence is conceded in it to two Democrats of this city, be has shown how completely he is controlled by party feelings—he would defeat the Rail Road project to•morrew, if its death was necessary to secure the election of tke whig tick et. He has been loud in his professions of devotion to the interests of the city—ore now know bow much value to place upon his professions. GlicAT LOAD.—Tho Cleveland Plaindealer say= "The steamer Wisconsin, Capt Card, came into port yesterday, with over nine hundred passengers, and two hundred and terenly•five tons of freight. neatly all if..ruled for the upper country. "This is the larg e: 1 .. the Captain) "that ever floated on Lake Erie Hull's surrender." "0. K."—For a long time the people puttied their brains to discover the meaning of the cabalistic let_ tern "0. K." Recent eveuts, however, says a Phila- delphia paper, furnishes a key to the mystery. What an they mean but fur "011 this Kontinent"—Orecan, Kalifornia, Kaneda and Kuba. Tax netts.—The Alexandria Gazette says: "In consequence of the-difficulties that have occurred be tween the P.O. Department sad the Railroad Compa nies, it is atmed that a new plan is about to be intro duced by the - -restmaster General, for cam-in& the -retail, at least:between Baltimore and Philadelphia. Boats of great speed and lightness are to be built, which will run through the Deleware and Cheaspeake I Canal, so that the mail will be carried more rapidly than at preset. This will obviate the difficulty which 001 V exists between the Company and the Department. Thy contracts are already made. The scheme would have been adopted the present season, had there been any boats suitable forth" purpose. But thecontractors were under die necessity of having them built, and this could not be done in time for the present season. This arrangement, it is thought, will be followed by a ptopostion for a government railroad on which to carry the mails." IJrrLa Mums ir rt CROPS.—The Lexington(Mo.) Express of the Ist. inst., gives the following account of the market and crops in that region: "For the last ten days the principal article of produce received fforn the coentry has been of the new crop of wheat. Mr, Waddell informed us this morning, that he has receiv ed at his mill, within the above space of time, a little rising of eight thousand bushels, for which he paid 50 cents per bushel. The price to-day, has declined to 40 cents; but still, we notice many wagons passing, loaded with the article! API OATH REFLECTED Croix.—Mr Romaine hear_ lug a man call on God to curse him, of•red him half a crown if he would repeat the oath. The man start ed—" What, air, do you think I would curse my soul for half a crovrur Mr Romaine answered, "As you did itjust now for nothing, I could not suppose that you would refunt it for a reward." The pour fellow was struck with the reproa, and said, "May God bless you and reward you, sir, whoever you are.— I believe you have saved my soul. I hope I shall never swear again." lnr It is said that a proposition has been submitted to the Postmaster General to have two steamery em ployed by that department, under the law of the late Congress, to carry the mail between New York or Norfolk and Lisbon. Tie Oregon Qnrshion.—The London Economist, speaking of the appointment of the Hun Louis Mc- Lane as minister to London. in place of Mr Everett. says, "it will be found, when the facts are clearly sta ted, that the discussion of this affair at Washington has reached a point which renders it desirable to have a particular proposition submitted to the Pit itish Gov ernment. and Mr McLane takes the mission on tips gmund."-2V Y, Jour of Com. • Inrefetence to the 'above, the Washington Union, or Saturday,sayat "Weauspect "it will be found, when the facts are clearly stated, that the discussion of this affair" will be confined to Washington, and that Mr. McLanedoes not "take the mission on this ground." OREGON [We annex a letter says the Albany Argus, from' Col Clymnn, one of the first settlers of Wisconsin ' who emigrated last year to Oregon. The Colonel ap pears to be an oIJ pioneer, and has now got ns far as he can go West before he finds himself East. He gives all rttering description of that country, which is destined to be very influential over the affairs of the Pacific ocean, and the vast trade which, centering in the Sandwich Islands, radiates to all quarters of the Pacific. Southern and China seas. An active, intelli gent sod enterprising Anglo Saxon race in occupation of the fertile valleys of the Columbia, the Sacramento and Deception rivers must infallibly become a great commercial people, and command the whole trade as well as wealth of those seas. Cul Clyrnatt's letter is as follows:] LETTIR FROM OREGON WILLAMET FALLS, Oregon, OCT. 27, 1844 I arrived here on the 13th day of the present mornh' having been on the way 151 days from Independence' Missouri, which was at least one month longer than the lost year's company of emigrants. This was owing to the unusual rains that fell during the first two months after our departure from Missouri. health is good and has been during the whole route.'The health of the small party that accumponied me is also good. The last thousand miles no inter niption frorn Liie• Indians took place, nor did even a shower of rain fall to lay the dust, None of the families have yet arrived. The fore most are expected to reach this neighborhood in about a week. The last range of mountainv,called the Cas cades, have never been passed with wagons. We were five days passing over this range of mountains, and found it by far the .most difficult and fatiguing part of the journey, both for etenseives and our horses. the mountains extend to within a few miles of this place. The range runs nearly.ocirth end south. The Willamet is on the west side of the mountains. The Colombia breaks through from east to west; It has a somber of dangerous passes, andewrefriills that cannot be passed by the lightest canoe. Oar families, wagons and.btiggage were carried arontrd - the theportug es. however, are not lengthy. The settlements of this Territory appeaeta be in al good and prosperous condition. Even the last year's emigrants, some of whom have not been more than nine or ten months on their new farms, have plenty for themselves, and some to spare to their countrymen, now on the way. Of bread; lieef,ftsli and potatoes of a !Ferrier kind, we have plenty: The brig Colum bia is now freighted with wheat and flour, and •will sail in a few days for the Saadwichlslands. prafit• able trade with the Islands is already commenced.— From us they receive wheat, flour, beef, pork and lum bar In return, we receive from them, British, Chi nese and American manufactured articles; and PROIRS ses, sugar., , cofee and tice, , the growth of the islands. Standing in the door of my present lodgings, I can count sixty-two buildings. They form the presents:ll age of the city of:Oregon. Timber and lumber lay scatterd about for more buildings, say eight or ten.— Several other villages,K one or two ofthem I have seen.) bare some pretension to Future greatness, but areqnite small as yet. The leaves of such treesas shed their &Binge, are yellow and beginning to fall. The kinds shedding rite leaf are oak, a species of maple, aloe, box wood, ha. tel. elder, &c., all small and scrubby, compared to those in the States, except elder and alder, which here grow quite large. Notwithstanding the ease with which the necessaries of life are acquired, I never saw a more discontented community, owing principally to natural disposition. Nearly all, like myself, hawing been of a roving discontented character before leav ing their eastern homes. The long tiresome trip from the Stares bas taught them what they are capable of Iperfarmingand endurin g , They talk of removing to the Islands, California, Chili, and other parts of South America with as mach composure as you in Wiscon sin talk of removing to Indiana or Michigan.

The Company derive great profit from the buisinem, and at the same time accommodate the inhabitants of the Teritory, who are all agriculturists and mechanics, without capital suffi cient fur commercial pertains. On eur arrival we found she country dry and pardned. iVe have re cently had a week of warm rainy weather. The grass has commented springing rm andloolts rr.uch like your Wisconsin prairies in May. Almost the first man I met on my arrival, was J. , M Wrir, formetiv of Indiana, who served vs ith me 'in the R.ingers. I also hear of Lancaster Clyniaii, who is married and settled some 40 or 50 miles up the Willamet. I expert to see him this week. It i; said drit he is I You recollect the large stories we esed to bear re specting the immense size and bright of timber in this country. Tile largest timber I have seen is an ever greelA of the firr kind. One tree that I measured a few days since, is six feet four inches in diameter, and 268 feet long. The ties was felled %jib an axe last sum- mer. The fire is of two kinds, white and red; both good for timber and lumber, and generally split. easy, making the neatest rail fences I have ever seem it has the appearance of being durable. This is the-season for sowing wheat all the farmers arebusily employed, it havi ng been heretofore too dry to sprout the grain. The farmer can sow wheat from August tieta June, with a certainty of reaping a fair compensation fur hit labor. The straw of that sown in May grows very short, which renders it difficult to harvest. That sown early, and in good order, grows large and long, measu ring five and six feet, and in some extraordinary ca ses it has beeniconive to measure seven feet in length with a proportionable length of head, The grain or berry of all that I have seen is remarkable for its round plump form. The small Canada corn comes to perfectime oats likewise grows well; Irish potatoes are (1 afinequal ity, and yield abundantly. The streams. hso told never freeze ever, nor does the snow ever cover the ground mere than three or four days at any one time during the winter. The open or prairie valleys are small; almost all the uplands are covered Thickly with the loftiest err. the earth is thickly covered with bogs, underbrush, and the rustic fern, called by some brake. It grows in many places up to my shoulders, and so thick that I found it impassible in some instan ces to break through it. I have crowded all I could on nne sheet, which I send by Mr Perkins, of the brig Columbia. bound to Oahco, on the Sandwich Islands, whence I hope it will find its way by the whalers to Boston or some oth er port in the States. You may not heat from me again until 1 reach California. Jas. CLYMAN. The editor of the Commercial Journal, in his paper of yesterday. has n communication, signed. "A Friend to the Rnil Road," urging the people to adopt the ad vice of the Baltimore American, and make the rail road the pre-eminent question, and to run a ticket half whig and half democratic. As his correspondent was no doubt a whig, a subscriber, Mr. R---.could not well refuse to publish, but he appends almost a column of argument against it. Among other arguments, he has the following. "But how is it, that we are naked just now to yield something to the Democrats? Has there ever been a contest in which some important interest was not at stake. We know of none, and yet we never, before were asked to forget our principles for the sake of a local measure. We ought, perhaps, to be more pre else, the Democrats in this city, having no other re liance to give them an ascendancy, have often. very often, asked the people to discard party that they might elect a Mayor and Councils; and indeed they have some times been snecessful. But achy is it that never, before, we have berm asked by Whigs to give up our organization. It is becadse Whig prin ciples were not, until now, discovered to stand in the way of salutary legislation. We confess we cannot understand this state of things." I am astonished at such a remark from that editor.— Does he really forget how often the. Whigs hove aided in electing a Democratic Mayor and Councils, How often they called upon their party to vote for JOlll7l R. VC/in/ark, the "City Improvement candidate," a gainst M. B. Lowrie and Wm. IV. Irvin, one a Whig, and the other an Antimason. Solely lie must have forgotten these matters, when he says that the whig party was never before asked by IVhigs to support Democrats. A FRIEND OF THE RAIL ROAD RAIL ROAD MEETING At a mectitig of the citizens of West Newton and vi cinity, favourable to granting the right of way to the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company to Pittsburgh; JOHN STOKE LY, F.,‘q, via: called to the chair, and JANUS GARDINER was appointed Secretory,—when the following preamble and re,mlutions were adopted, WHFRE•S, the Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road Company have in contemplation, to carry their road to the Ohio river. and whereas if said company fail to obtain an act of Assembly of this commonwealth, granting the tight of way to Pittshurgh, from the known ability of said company to prosecute the con struction of said road to the Ohio river West of Pitts burgh, we deem it of the utmost importance to our vital interest for the ensuing Legislature, to grant the right of way op fair and liberal principles at an early period of our Legislative session. Therefore, Resolved, That the true interests of the State in connection with our Eastern and Western em poriums, demand thatthe r* . lit of way be granted to the Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road Company. to carry their road to the city of Pittsburgh, and thereby se cure the great Western and Eastern transportation through at I !List a part of the State.

GARDINER, Ser''Y ORIGIN 0/ THE ABORIGINES or AM►RICA.—In e notice, by the National Intelligencer, of an article by Mr. Gallatin, on the "semi-civilzed nations of Mexico, Yucatan and Central America," contained in a late volume of "Transactions of the American Ethnological Society," we find the following: Mr. Gillatin thinks that the first inhabitants of A merica came from Asia. "From whetevet quarter," he says, "America may have been peopled, the first importent question is that of the lime at which that event must have taken place. We find in America more than one hundred langenges, w bleb, however aim ilar,in structure, differ entirely in their vocabulary or words. This difference must have originated either before or after America was inhabited. 11 - 41e•first supposition impels that of America having been settled, not by a few distinct races, which is very possible, but by more than one hundred distinct tribes and nations, of differen origin, and speaking entirely different language.' This supposition, so utterly im probable in itself is moreover inconsistent with the great similarityrin their physical type and the structure of-their languageithetween almost all the several na tions. and tribes Whirr!' inhabited America when dis covered in modern times by the Europeans. If, as is highly probable, the prodigious subdivision of langua ges took ,place in American, after making every al lowance tfor sse.greater•ohtmges to which unwritten languages are liable, and nottfor the accesses) , subdi vision of nations in the hunter state into separate communities, yet for producing strait radical divinity and great multiplication of languages, we want the longest time that we are permitted to assume.— "I cannot see any possible reason shit should have prevented those who, after the dispersion of mankind, moving towards East and Northwest, from having reached the extremes of Asia and pastsed over to A merica within five hundred years after she flood.— However small may have been the number of those first emigrants, an equal number of years would have been more than sufficient to occupy in their -town way every part in America." Mr. Gallatin's subsequent 'augury as to the orign of American civilation involves a consideration of the greatest intenest . , and ought to be attentively !perused I. by every statesman, patriot and philanthropist. His disquisition on the Inslianfet ta, tumult, and otherearrth works found in the valley of the Mississippi aff or d s rich treat to the antiqoary. it is a curious fict. Pica nut a single work of ibis description has linen found either east of the Allegheny or west of the Rocky Mountains. Mr. Guliatin supposes that the people who erected these were a colony from M exico, evident ly an agricultural people, who were not numerous or even strong enough to maintitin their !Position, and that they must have been ultimately grate exterminated or driven away by the savage tribes which surrounded them. This opinion closely coincides with that of Mr. Catlin, as expressed in hia late work tin the Amer ican Indiana. rI[RITAZteII BERKPlT.—The.ill.)wing excellent po ;lds production is from the pen of FORD G•asoN, hol ier known as the 'Funny Old Clown."
