The anxiety of the LINOS to have Oregon ad mitted is explained by the .fact, that, they will, want all the votes they can get, should the Presidential strugglebe thrown into tiLe Rouse. The Republicans should have insisted on Kan sas being admitted with Oregon. The constitution of Oregon. declares that colored• persons shall have no right in the courts of that State, and ignores the naturali zation laws of the United States; giving to for-. cign born residents the same right to vote, that is enjoyed by native. The• Washington correspondent of the.

Thayer, of Mass.; Cragin, of 'N. Ii ; Horton and Seiter, of Ohio; Kunkel, of Pa..; and Wood of Flo.

How any northern man can jus tify such-a vote- to his-constituents -.is--more than I can comprehend, That the votes of the Southern Democrats who constituted the majority, would have been different had Oregon elected opposition Sena- tors and a member of the lioube,:no one pre tends te.den - y or doubt. It was because she would be good for three Democratic Presiden tial elector's, that the door of admitision was thrown wide open to her by them, and she was welcomed hut) the Union with a loud huzza, even though she' had not more than half the population which they declare Kamilla must have to entitle her to admission I Such outrageS upon justice. propriety, fitir-dealing. and the Constitution of the United States, only tend to make one despair of the Republic, and to deop7ooncernovhitber..we-:are drifting? and, what are'wO coming to?
