Convention Printing:. The Auditor has issued his edict on this subject. There is no gain-saying his proclamation. The Con vention must submit look out for his ire. . f . . . 1 I II mey ao not, men tney may iluw we AO not uesire IO naie I 1 - 1 t l I any controversy about this matter. If Messrs. Ellis & Spann can be elected, we have no objections. If a majority of the Democrats in the Convention select thera as the candidates for Printer, then the publisher of thii paper is not m the field. To his political friendj he submits his claims, and in their decision he will-acquiesce. But, against the monopolizing and absorbing docrine, that Ellis & Spann, by virtue of a contract with J. P. Chapman, State Printer, are entitled to the Convention Printing, we most solemnly protest. It is a new idea, an afterthought. . fl . . f . .1 .

That as a natter orcr which he had no control. The law providing for the election of delegates and denning the mode of organizing the Convention, authorizes the "election of a Przsid:nt and all othsr officzTS meessarv." What oflicers are necessary besides a President ? A Secreta ry or Secretaries, a Door-keeper, Printer, and such other officers or agents as they may deem necessary. The whole power is in the Convention. They are controlled by no law, except the law which created them. The Secretary of State, Auditor and State Librarian are required to perform certain duties, but these duties are defined. Of the State .Printer no thing is required. Such an office is not alluded to The clerks of the last Legislature might with the same propriety claim to be clerks to the Convention as the State Printer to ex-oßicio claim the Printing One is the officer that records, and the other the officer that prints the proceedings. ' After the bill had passed both branches of the Legislature and become a law, Mr. Reid, the Sena tor from Fayette and Union, a warm friend of the Messrs. Cliaomans. introduced a ioint resolution for rmmA. of annnmtW a Printer for the State Convention. That resolution made the State Printer perform the duty, and gave him the compensation as fixed by law. But this resolution, on motion of Mr Winstandley, was laid on the table. m 1-1 1-A il .! liius ine igisiaiure wisciy icn me qucsuon open for the action of the Convention. . Ellis & Spann, by virtue of a purchase from J. P. Chapman, are pub ,lic Printers for three years. They are not content with that, but are determined to monopolize the Con vention printin The publisher of this paper is pleased to learn, in the view of many of the ablest papers of the State, that he was correctly advised, when he became a candidate, that, under the law, a printer would have to be elected ; for he certainly had no disposition to interfere with any of the vested rights of Mr. Chap man as State Printer. He purchased , of the Messrs Chapmans, for a valuable consideration (not of Chapr mans & Spann as has been understood by some) every thing pertaining to the State Sentinel establishment its subscription, advertising patronage, its position as the sole organ of the Democratic party, Lc. at Indianapolis, so far as the party and the public would consent to continue the same: but this is a Toluntary patronage and cannot be coerced by law, and he does not claim it as a pre-emption right. I he Messrs. Chapmans bound themselves not to establish another paper either directly or indirectly. Mr Spann never had a dollars interest in the State Senti nel. He had been interested in a rival paper as at present, in this citv. and to procure its disconlinu .nr. lb f,r.

I.-. v. v wamU tar. count nave nau uis rn. -"-- -" w- - raoer without sonir6-ljer r.ine to be considered as at the head of the concern, for it is well known that

he had no more control over the editorial columns of the Sentinel while his name stood at the head of the paper than the man in the moon. The Auditor of State, however, made him the instrument of procuring a purchase from the Chapmans of the Stale Printing, and we are informed by Mr. Chapman, that the Auditor was entirely unknown in the purchase until the whole preliminaries were settled. His sole object, as now fully developed, was to start a rival paper to the State Sentinel, for no sane man, engaged in the office in which he is now engaged, would have purchased the State Printing for the sake of pecuniary gain, at the prices he paid for it. His money could have been appropriated in a hundred ways to a better advantage. ' The object of the purchase was to establish a rival Democratic paper, and, by taking Spann in as a partner, to secure by indirection, a portion of the old patronage of the Sentinel. There are two things to be considered, by the Democratic majority in the Convention, in disposing of the printing1. The first is, whether it is desirable, in a party point of view, that the State Sentinel should be put down and the Statesman should be raised upon its ruins; and the second is, whether the Auditor should be sustained in monopolizing all the offices in the State; or rather, whether, if a rival paper is necessary, it should not be edited by a man not encumbered with an office, as is the Auditor, requiring all his time to attend to its duties; whether, indeed,

there is any consistency or fitness in our State Auditor, who manages aud to a creat extent controls o l iU f il,. -ti. l . l .Ii the finances of the whole people vvhiars as well as r r " v Democrats becoming the editor of a partisan newstinner: and whether in fine, should be nerswt in tvein a candidate for Printer, it will not be required of him to lay down the office of Auditor, which he most certainly should have done when he commenced his paper. In his present position he is worse than the whigs at Washington.

If he were convinced that it was the desire of the Democratic party to put down the Sentinel and that his paper should be the State organ, and he should be the editor, he would at once resign lue office of Auditor and covet a race with thispapcr as the most effectual means of putting us down.

(fCThe Warrick Democrat contains the following notice of the Stale Sentinel, for which we are under obligations to the editor., as it embodies our true position, with regard to a reduction of price and other things connected with ibis office and the Democratic parly. -" . State Sentinel. -We have inserted in our columns this week the prospectus of the Indiana State Sentinel. Although decidedly opposed to publishing prospectuses of newepapers anf periodicals, especially when the object sought to be attained, is to introduce the trajtkij publications of large cities and towns into the country, at such ruinous low rates as to compel many of the country newspapers to dra:r out a sickly existence of a few mont hs and then die oil -the very patronage which they hnd aright to expect having been bestowed upon cheap foreign publications yet we view the case of the Sentinel in quite a different light, the publisher having been driven, by the force of circumstances, to make the reduction he has in the price of his paper. We therefore transfer the prospectus of that paper to our columns with pleasure the more so from the fact that we per. ceive a miserable effort is now making, oti the part of a few disorcanizers, to cripple if not destroy its enerpy and usefulness to the Democratic party of this State and feel that a recommendatory notice of the Sentinel is a duty which we owe. not only to the talented, independent and uncompromising course of the editors of that paper, hut also to its en'nprising proprietor. We regard the Sentinefas an able and faithful exponent of the principles of the Democratic party as taught by Jeffarson himself and true to the interests of that party. because it repudiates the attempts which have been made and are now making to convert the great Democratic party of the State into a Free Soil or Abolition party ; and especially does it commend itself to the codfidence and favorable regard of the democracy, and the friends of the Union, on account of its patriotic and compromising course in

reference to the important questions at issue between the North and the South. If the Democratic party of Indiana, and of the whole Union, wish to retain itspow and its influence, and perpetuate its principles, it can ii i . t i . r .: l l only no so iy union ana concert oi action, anu a ngiu - i . . , ' f ,i adherence to the principles and doctrines oi the party as thev have been understood and inculcated since the days f Thomas Jeffjrson.

From lb Washington UfijonJ Oregon. As all eye are now turned to rho PaciSe coast, acd everything that relates to Us commerce, navigation and the deveiopmcnt of the resources ofthat uuerestin" portion of cur extended republic, is worthy of attention we insert the subjoined letter IVoia aa officer Ligh iu command in the coast survey party now operating ou the coast of Oregon U. S. Scrvxtiko ScHcojcr Ewixo, Astoria, July IS, 1850. Dear Cor six. Since my last letter to yourself, I have mado a trip to Pnget's Sound, Admiralty Inlet, Hood's Canal, the Island of Vancouver, and Jiisquallv. This part of my voyage was made by water, on board the United Slates mail steamer Carolina. - The straits of St. Juan do Fuca is an wm of the sea literally, throwing out its branches as it extends inland, in numerous directions, and retainicg over one hundred fathoms depth! in many cases two hundred tnik-s from the sea, at which places the w idth of canal is frequently not greater than a half mile. The navigation of theso wutcrs is perfectly free from obstructions; the greatest difficulty being to find good anchorages, on acaccount of the great depth of wafer. As far as safejy is concerned, tha whole of Pnget's Sound may be considered a safe harbor from cne extremity to tbe other. There are numerous littlo bays and roads into which vessels may run, in order to cast anchor. The fact is, that vessels may tie up (almost anywhere) to the trees! I saw several secured in that manner, near the head of the Sound. . ' The timber in this region is the finest I have ever seen. Spruce, hemlock, hr, pine, and cedar commin". ling, form thick forests of gigantic trees. Mny vessels are already visiting the Sound in pursuit of lumber,' which is speedily destined to become an article of export to a great extent. In fact, the timber is so very tine, that it has tempted tbe enpidity of some English vp.1s

who Lave had the boldnesx to commit depredations on ocr side of the line, by cutting timber for spars to be ta. ken to &ngland. One vessel was seized in San Francisco some months since, and one other in Puget's Sound, and which was placed under rov charge for a time. This slip was called the Albion, and was to have been brouht to the mouth of the Columbia River; but a suitable crew could not be obtained. She was seized, and is still under seizure by the collector of this district, by whom she will be held till the case is tried. I came from Nisqnally to the head of the Cowlitz by land. Our first day's journey was to tbe Cfcshales Kiv. er, twenty-eight miles from Kisqually. The country through which we passed was well watered, and well calculated for grazing purposes, alternate timber land and prairies in alout equal portions. Yet, as the soil is not very rich, and quite gravelly. I do not deem it good farming land. Many good situations, however, could be selected for tillage. This, however, is rather an exception than a rule. Our next day's journey terminated at the Cowlitz settlement, twenty-four miles from the Chehales. Tin's day we passed through the most beautiful country I have ever seen ; the prairie and woodland dividing the land about equally, and in small alternate Eatches of first one and the other. The land I observed ad become gradually but almost imperceptibly better since we left Nisquallv, and was of the finest ossib!e quality for tillage. We passed through several small settlements, chiefly consisting of Canadian French farmers, whose neat houses, fat cattle, and beautiful farms, show how well their industry is rewarded. At niglit, we stopped at the house of old Mr. Primondeau, an"old Canadian, who has been in this country over thirty years! He entertained me until a late hour by recounting many of his adventures during the early settlement of the whites. . The Cowlitz country is probably superior to any part of Oregon for agricultural purposes, not excepting the far-famed Willamette valley. Our third day was consumed in descending the Cow litz river in a canoe. At sunset we arrived at the junc tion of the Cowlitz and Colombia rivers. I cannot tell anything of the country through which we passed, as the forests pushed themselves to the very banks of the river. Un tue lourth day we reached Astoria ; you have al ready perused too many accounts of the Columbia river to render it necessary that I should say a word on the subject. The next time I make a journey, you shall have an account of it. In the mean time, just sav to the people. that if they feel crowded, just tell thera "to come out to Oregon, to a bran-span new country, where they may kill as many elk, deer, bears, &e., as they please, and he as remote as they may choose lrom the nearest neighbors. This you know is a sweet privilege to many western people. ; Ilaynau's Departure from England. The London Daily News, of the lSth, has a full and corrected account of the drubbin jiven to the butcher Haynau, by the London brewers. After he had found safety in the public house of Mr. Eenfield, where he first crammed himself away in & dust bin, from whence ho was dragged by the hair and moustache, but finally secreted in a bed room, by the lady cf the house, ho made bis nnal escape as loiiows.1 "A strong body ol ponce soon arrived, and teir apI near a nee at once quelled the fury of tho populace.
