THE POLYNESIAN, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1846. 73 Okegow Spectator. We arc indebted, to George Pelljr, for a file of this paper to May 23, and a number of July 23d. They contain no political news of moment, but are interesting as indicating the rapid progress of this new country. Their columns are thickly filled with "By Authority" nets of the Legislature, Statute Law and appointments.

Those who complain of the burden of our columns in this repped had Letter take aglancoat the Oregon Spectator. It leave us far behind the wholo territory is wide awake for new laws, caucuses, canvassing, etc. All the machinery of a republican government in its most democratic form is jroing ahead finely. Succcess to the hardy settlers. May their government suit them to a man.

As it is entirely of their own manufacture, it ill be their own fault if it do not. There is much dry humor and hard hits in some of the communications. We quote a few. Notice to Mariners-We beg to call the attention oftho-e naviaiiii? the Columbia waters, to a hidden danger abreast of Fort Vancouver, lately discovered by Capt. Scarborough of the chr.

Cadboro'. This is a sandy spit or-lnva reef, cloe to Menzie's island, that muvthavo su Idenly formed by some peculiar influence, as it lias hitherto escaped the worthy Captain's eye, now nearly a quarter of a century experienced in the river. Its hearings ars as follows: when the stables are just opon to the eastward of the new salmon More, you nreofHts east end and by keeping Mount Hood well shut in with the point above the upper landing at Vancouver, will carry you snfe down in 6 or 7 A Scene in an Oregon Court.

Quite an excitement was created in the Tua-laty plains last week by the report that ihe Indians were erecting: a fortificaiionwith the intention of commencing hostilities usrainst the whites. Upon repairing to the spot, however, it wns discovered that the dreaded fortifi.

cntion was merely a cow-pen. The gentleman who originated the report, being more acquainted with the sea than the land, must be excused for his mistake. The following advertisement somewhat novel Passengers' own Line. The subscriber begs leave to inform the public that he has well caulk'd, gum'd, and greased the lijht draft and fast running boats, Mooii. and 1'en Franklin, now in port'for freight or charter, which will ply rcgt'ftrly between Oregon City and Champa during the present season.

Lee has succeeded Mr. W. G. T'Vault, as editor of the Spectator. Tho latter in hi3 valedictory complains of tho influence of a "junto of aristocracy," and winds up in the following lucid strain, My Innh and mr, voti mny he nistaken: Oregon territory is fnt settling with hardv freemen as independent as the air they brenihe know no master acknowledge no superior, nnd believinnr that there is no government equal to that of the U.

States. Persons offering themselves for candidates to public i'ccs through the paper are required to pay 3. This tax on patriotism must afford something of a revenue. In one paper we counted five notices from office seekers. The officers of the Modeste add much to the life and gaiety of the territory.

They have already established horse races, and balls are of common occurrence voila. Ball at Contain Bnillie nnd the gunroom officers of II. B. 's ship Modesto, et.tertained a numerous circle at a hall here, unon Wednesday evening. There was a hnllinnt nsnetnblnje of the, "fair sex" of Oregon and although in the for vent, yet from the cay display that night, wo are proud to state that the infant colonv ran hoast of as pretty frees and hnndom! figures" ns the mother country.

Dancing commenced at fi o'clock, nnd it was pleasing to see the tripping on the light fantastic toe" kept tip with such spirit. The dresses of th la lies was themo of universal ndmiration, combining neatness, elegince, and ease.

Vancouver, Feb.

7, 1846. A. D. C. Ingles offers $10,000 reward for every one to attend to his own business.

No one had claimed it at latest advices. Cities. We read of Linn city, Multnomoh city, and Oregon city all flourishing, and hoping ono day to be populous. Fourth of July. This day was celebrated at Salem by a parado of the Rangers under Capt.

Bennet, and a General turn out of the citizens to heir W. G. T'Vault deliver "an oration, suitable to the occasion, and satisfactory to the audience. We quote the concluding sentence and pause for an explanation American citizens, you should feel proud that your destiny has been cast, at this particular ago of world, where the pious in the desert region may build a city of refuge, around which they may erect an impregnable wall of safety, to enjoy and perpetuate religious freedom; tho sacred herald of civl liberty, on the Doric columns of winch a majestic temple has been raised, and they who dwell within its walls, will never bow in bondage to man, until they forget lb bend in reverence to God." We are told that "a heavy fall of rain prevented the lai'ut from mar chin ir as was anticipated." Among the regular toasts we find "6. Our mother uho lived through the Revolution, May our sisters emulate their example." They would have been very glad doubtless, had they been born at a sufficiently early period of their lives.

We conclude our notices of to-day with the following extract from the editorial description of the first attempt at stump speaking in the territory Signs or the Times. On Monday, the ISthofMav. as we expected, quite a number of the ot mei in vregon vny, although the morning was showery and threatening, such was their t'Mvituess. in this "sundown1' hnd, scenes.with which they had once been familiar in the for east, viz tump speaking. Our anxiety was much heightened by delay.

Noon enme the court adjourned the bells rang dinner as over, and no speeches yet At 2 o'clock the court met pursuant to adjournment at 4 o'clock the court was again adjourned and the sheriff in true official style, ried out from the porch of the hotel yes jcsJ! O.yes!!! the candidates will now address people so soon as they will collect." The crowd in.n.c-cl lately assembled about the porch, particularly cento witness the exhibition new in Orcson. TbocanHir)ntf seemed not to have settled the pteliminaries or order of ite uay, or someming eise, lor mey were not torthcoming, although they were repeatedly called for, even by name, as General llusted, Mr. Parker," et cet. Thus were we held in cruel suspense until it was no longer durable i and many of the voters proclaimed aloud that they would vote for no man who had declared biinself a candidate and would not publicly expres.t his sentiments beforehand, and on motion, it was resolved by the company, to select a new set of candidates. Finally, however, the sheriff proclaimed that, ns the candidates were backward about speaking, Esq.

T'Vault, who was not a candidate, would address them, if they would come in the house. We were all oooti Miusly located in the hotel. Esq. T' Vault taid he was not candidate did not intend to be yet he would call their attention to some political points, upon which they ought to know the views of those who were offering to servo them in the next legislature. If he should in the course of his remarks, commit homicide by murdering the English language, he hoped they would con -ider it justifiable homicide he did not like the Enrtisk any way.

He thought the Organic Law permitted toogenorul system of holding land claims. should conform, as nearly as possible, to the law that had passed, or would pass Congress. Our judicial system was badly arranged, especially the criminal code, which should be amended; the salaries of officers should be reduced the people would then pay their taxes, and we would have a revenue. llusted I lusted 1" was heard from every part of the room. Gen.

Husled said, "It appeared us if the candidates were called upon lor to give their views and their sentiments upon various subjects which might come before the legislature there were many subjects both political and agricultural that ought to lie attended to." lie hardly knew what positiou to take, but would go for such measures a would lend to ad vuiice the prosperity of Oregon. (Applause.) He thought the liquor law was not exactly a good one, and might perhaps be mended. He would say no more at present, till he heard from his fellow-candidates. (Loud applause.) California. We have received from the editors of "The Californian the first two numbers of their journal, Aug.

I'jth, and Aug. 22d ult. It is a small sheet, printed at Monterey every Saturday, at 55 per annum, and is the first paper ever issued iu California. Its design is best given in its own words. "We shall maintain an entire an utter severance of all political connexion with Mexico.

renounce at once und li-rever all fealty to her laws, all obedience to her mandates. We shall advocate nn oblivion of all past political offences and allow every man the privilege'of entering this new era of events unembarrassed by any part he may have taken in previous revolutions. We shall maintain freedom of speech and the press.and tliose great principles of religious toleration, which allows every man to worship God according to the dictates of his own conscience. We shall advocate such a system of public instruction as will bring the means of a good practical education to every child in California. We shall urge the immediate establishment of a well org mized government and a universal obedience to its laws.

We shall encourage imigralion, and take special pains to point out to agricultural imigranls those sections of unoccupied lands where the fertility of tho soil will amply repay the labors of the husbandman." Wo shall encourage domestic manufactures nnd the mechanic arts ns sources of private wealth, individual comfort, and indispensable to the public prosperity. We shall urge the organization of interior tie fences sufficient lo protect the property of citizens from the depre-dationsof the wild indians. Wo sh'ill advocate a territorial relation of California to the United Stiles, till the number of her inhabitants is such that she can be admitted member of that glorious confederacy. We shall support the present measures of the commander-in-chief of the Arcericnn squadron on our coast, so fur as they conduce to the public tranquility, the organization of a free representative government and our alliance with the United States. We shall advocate the lowest rate of duties on foreign imports, and favor an exemption of the necessaries tl life, even from these duties.

VVe shall go for California for all her interests, social civil and religious- encouraging every thing that promotes these, resisting every thing that can do them harm. We take from it the official proclamation of war by the President of the United States. PROCLAMATION. In consideration that the Congress of the United States by virtue of the authority with which it is clothed, has declared by the law of to-day, that through an act of the Republicof Mexico, there exists a state of war between that government and the U. States, therefore Jerries K.

Polk, President of the IT. States, by these presents do proclaim the same, nnd I especially recommend to all person who hold civil or military employment under the government of the U. S. that they be vigilant and zealous in the discharge of their respective duties. Moreover, I exhort the entire people of the U.

S. by their love of country, and a senso of the injuries which nave obliged them to appeal to the last resort of nations, (and in as much as it consults the means most opportune to abbreviate the calamities) that they wouhUxert themselves to maintain order, to promote reunion, to sustain the authority and efficiency of the laws, and to give aid and force to all the measures which may he adopted by the constitutional authorities to obtain an early, just and honorable peace. In testimony o( which, I have placed my hand, and have caused the seal of the United States to be affixed to these presents. J. K.

POLK, President U. S. Washington-, May 15, 1846. f3 IL schooner Haalilio, Capt. Hall, arrived on Mondaj, 32 days from Pell's Island, bringing tho crew of the Am.

whaler Konohassett, wrecked there in May last. The crew, 26 in number, are all in good health, notwithstanding their long sojourn. A few boats, sails and small articles have been saved from the wreck. The Haalilio was six days on her passage thither. She was loaned to the Am.

Consul for the purpose of bringing off the ship. wrecked crew. ffCSP Judge TurriIl, U. S. Consul, visited the Columbus on the 12tb, and received the customary salute.

General News mom Calitornia. Captain Fauntleroy, late Purser, was employed with his dragoons in chastising the Indians for their incursions upon the settlers, Gon. Castro has been deserved by his troops and obliged To take refuge in the Mexican territory, with a number of outlaws with him. The old inhabitants are becoming satisfied with the change of government. The crops thus far, are good, and wheat was abundant.

The Brooklyn arrived at San Francisco 3d. Aug. Dissensions are said to have already occurred in the Mormon ranks. The Brooklyn was loading at Bodega with lumber for this port. Tho U.

S. S. Levant, Captain Page, with Com. Sloat on board, sailed July 23d for the U. S.

via Panama. The other men-of-war are scattered about the coast on service. Capt. Nye, late of the Faina, is on board the Congress as pilot. The attention of the citizens of California, numbering about 10,000, of whom nearly 2,000 are from the U.

is called to the formation of colonial government, with a constitution to be adopted by a general convention, with the ultimate view of applying to Congress for their formal recognition of the territory and to receive a delegate from them. It seems the clergy are in requisition as civil officers, there as well as here. The Rev. Walter Col-ton, Chaplain to the Congress, who by the way is said to be one of the editors of The Californian," is a U. S.

justice, and with his associate, Mr. Price, has put a peremptory veto upon the sale of ardent spirits, prohibiting all store and shop keepers, and publicans from keeping or selling or disposing in anyway of liquors and wines of any description, under penalty of fine and imprisonment at the discretion of the magistrate. This is an excellent step towards tho preservation of order, for it strikes at the main root of all disorders. The French government at Tahiti, and the American government at California have already adopted the doctrines of tho Hawaiian government in this respect, but their hands are free to act, and ours aro made comparatively powerless. When ardent spirits are banished from all the Pacific ports we may look for great reforms, and a vast saving in the civil expenses.

Talbott II. Green, has been appointed Collector for Monterey. A fortification, named "Fort Stockton" has been erected at Monterey, commanding the town and harbor. It mounts 13 guns, including 4 68's, and is surrounded by a ditch 7 fect deep. The war in California is now considered at an end, and nothing now remains but to secure a good government for a territory won without a blow.

Danish Man or Wak.H. D. ship tho Galathea, with a corps of scientific gentlemen on board, was to have left Pcnang March 21, for Singapore, China, Sandwich Islands, Sydney, and then round Cape Horn to Denmark. So we gather from a Hong Kong Register of April 21, tilt. ICJ" U.
