GOV. STRVBNS’ SPEECH AND FIRST PROCLAMATION. [from the Olympia Pioneer, Dec. 3] Governor Stevens arrived at this place om Saturday last, through a drenching rain, having completed one of the most arduous and triumphantly successful explorations ever performed since the organization of the federal govern. ment, Six months devoted to incessant wil, dange: id the overcoming of what seeved to be almost insuper obstacles, has brought to onr new territory a zovernor and with him, as we believe, the groundwork o' fic railway. Other routes may be reported practicable, but we believe Gov, Stevens can illustrate the northern one to re doubly #0. No pains have been spaced by him to ascertain all t ts connected with the country over 6 has t , and it is to be expected that il deliberately and impatlially weigh all the rantages of the routs embodied in the report of Governor Stevens, and act according to the evidence before it in the premises, A new territory. set apart and organized within one 5 and s favorable report for a railway from the A‘lantic States to the Sound, Who can anticipate the future for our territory A commiitee of arrangements hed made some prepzra- lion to receive the Governor iv something like formal manner, which to some extent was superse led by his sud- den, and, atthe time, unexpected advent.

This may be deemed as a support to the pro priety of the course pursued by the Cabinet, of buying them up with favors: but it will say very little for the company in which the admivistration will find them- selves. If, however, the agitators are strong, and the question raises much disturbance and anny feeling, it will prove that the Cabinet reckoned without their host, and that all their means, expended at the loss of their strongest friends in New York, have been of no effect,” ‘The Stata Democral, a free soil democratic journal a ed somewhere in the State of Olio, says the opposition to ation exists but in a fragment of the demo- cracy in New York and in Massachusetts, and it will strengthen, not weaken, the administration. Ohio and the West give mo aid or comfort to the factionists; and that mighty combination, which they hoped would either bring the administration to their terms or prostrate i has enced, as it commenced, in wind, which will wi getters-up into a port differemt from that to whic were steering. e people of all parties have confidence in the talent, the honesty, and the patrictism of General Pierce and of the able men comprising his Cabin This oonficence, instead of diminishing, has incr:ased since the menage of the President, at the opening of the present Congress, was read. Its stern adherence to the dictates of honesty, and to the democratic faith as tanght and actec upon by Jefferson and Jackson, has created a con@- dence in the minds of the right-thinking, right-acting people which the efforts of fastion cannot abake, The ad ministration bass brilliant future before it, and it will more than realize the hopes of the stern demooracy that placed it im power. ‘The Charleston Mercury, a democratic journai of rather aneccentric stripe, and which once declared that the South bad gained nothing but » loss by the passsge ot the fugitive slave Jaw. is now ono of the warmest sup- porters of the administration. It rays it has confidence in the President’s good faith on tl question, ane believes that the administration is favorable to free trade, It rays it is» working administration, and has pot the aflairs of the reveral departments in better con. ition than they have been for many years. ‘Toe Lancaster,-Pa., Intelligencer (democratis organ of Mr. Buchanan) endeavors to keep on goed terms with the px tional scrinistration, by givieg it a feeble avd sickly sopport daring the absence of its patron, It “the yore on the Cutting rerolution rettles the que:tion as to the real strength of the administration before Congre and rhowa it to be sll powerful in one branch at lens’. Livery effort thus far, on tha part of@ portion of ths New York delegation, to ‘make thelr quarrel a national ont, has signally failed, A large majority of the people’s re- presentatives have evinesd their determination t handa off, and permit the “harda’? and ‘ softs Empire State to fight their own battles in their own way.” The Rochester Democrat, a free soil whig paper, thinks that the beruburners and ‘soft shells, under the Ieader- ship of Van Buren and Dix and other patent free sollere, have committed \hemselves to an administration whick proposes to put upon the necks of freemen a more odious yoke than was spurned under Mr, Polk’s administratioa, What more humiliating service could be asked of North- ern men than to aid in repealing the ordinance of 1787, by which slavery was banished from northern territories? The Providence Journal (whig) compares the former course of the administration organ with its present pria- ciples, as follows:—In the Presidential canvass of 1852 the New Orleans Bulletin thus prefigured the courre which Gen. Picroa would pursue if elected—a couree whica he soil demooratic leaders of the North aro a rogular cratic party, and Gen. Picres, if elected, Ke no distinction between them and the rect of the Gomocracy, in the distribution of official patronage, and in the solection of agente for administering the goverument, Upon this the Washington Union poured out the fol- lowing indignation :— The following, which we find in the Republic, n8 copied from an editorial of the New ‘Orloans Bulletin, is ono of those grove and unblushing forgeries by which the whig load ore and organs have made thele canvass memorable as the canvacs of frands, Now the Union is defending the very course which it then pronounced # fraud aod a forgery. Inu’t thisa pretty position for the orgam of the administration? The Louteville Times, (cemocratic,) im speaking of the ree of the journals who do not choose togo it blind in apport of the spoils cabinent, saya:—The fact is, they have made false issues to defend their conrse, and having been done by the adiniaistration, tbat not cone; therein, following along with the Wasbington Sentinel, New York Heratp, Louisville De- pavill Exquirer, and the whig and abolition reas generally, The dismissal of Bronson is magnified by them into an interference with the elections in New York; when it is a well known fact that there was no interference, The charge has this foundation only, and wan made by the disaffected and disappointed only, aud can be echoed only by the disaffected and disappointed, or thoce who have néither feeling nor privciple in com- mon with the administration and democratic party, HARMONIOUS SCENES IN THE OHIO &TATH DEMG- ORATIC CONVENTION.

Some demanded the pre- vious question, others to sdjours, ete Mr. Atkinron appealed from the decision of the chair, the President having ruled that, pencing the taking of = vote, the previous question could not be put. The Chair was sustained, Mr. MeCcok of Jeiferson, offered ass aubstitutefor the rerolutions cflered by the committee, and the additional one adcpted as an amendment, endorsing the Baltimore platform, titute which he thought would commend Neelf to the goo’ sense of the Cemocracy, Renoived, That the Convention, representing the de mocracy of Ohio, spprove the first annual message of President Pierce, ani enpecially commend the true spirit of progressive democracy evinced therein, and that our energien ehoulc be given to the political questions of the present time, rather than wasted cn the dead issues of the PTnat the acts of President Pierce ro far meet with our warm approvation, and:o long as the administration is governed by wise vad liberal principles it will receive our united and zeslous suport. ‘That in the present condition of the political world we fail to see any demands for a new expression of opinion on State and national policy.

ORGANIZATION OF THE LEGISLATURE—COALITION OF WHIGS AND DEMOORATS. The House of Representatives orginized on the 4th iast , and elected Noah Smith, Jr., whig, of Calais, Speaker, ‘The election was effectet by a coalition of whigs and Maine law democrats. The following article from the Portland Argus will serve to show the spirit io which the coalition is viewed by the regular democrats :— We intimated yesterday that the extraordina:y organis- ation of the House of Representatives had taken the de- moeratic party by surprise, Indeed, we might have gom farther—for not « few whigs exprers their profound gust at the coalition that produ:ei such s result. There is a laige majority of professed democrats in the Toure; for the Morrill mea not only claim to be ao, but they insist that they are the ‘Simon Pures.” Tey hold that, like certain patent medicines, none are genuine un Jess labelled “Morrill,” but. ike many of those medicines, they have proved themselves mere quacks. The democratic legislative caueas unanimonaly nomi ated asvund democrat for Speaker. Mr. Littlefield has been for several years ® member of the Senate, and twise elected to Congress, There was no spot upon bis political or personal reputation. As a presiding officer, his abilities are undoubted, Why, then, could mot these very pare ‘‘Mcrrill demo- crate” vote for him? Trus they were eleeted on the Li quor Isw issue; but that is now foregone conclusion. The Speaker could have no control over a question, npon we s larger majority of the members elect were of one opinion, It is obvious, therefore, that the motives that induced to thia most disgraceful coalition with the federalists are not such as wili stand the test of democratis analysis. Tt is w trade simply for the offices. How far the bargain- ing will extend we cannot, of course, now say, things are concocted in upper chambers, with locked deors, and aré only fully known by their results, Rumor, however, makes Mr. Morriil—who hl eleven thousand of the popular vote—Governor; Mr. Fessenden United States Senator, and Governor Crosby Judge of the Suprema Court. If this ramor prove correct, ws shall not be at all surprised; for it is only the first step in treachery that found to be diffieult.. When a man fairly gets an im- Re downward he will move by his own momentum. jut we cam assure the “ Morrill democrats’? that the people will hold them to a strict accountability for their cficial acts.

Our hearts and minds were again shrouded with gloom, but still we waited and hoped, and now more than six weeka have already passed away, aud no ship is to be seen which would convey us home to our native land. Now, we are truly ingreat sorrow and grief, while our condition is such that it {s utzeriy beyond our power to better ourselves, for each of us is ignorant of @ prrticu- Ihr calling ortrace, and, avove sll, of your modes «ad ways of transacting business, and we have uo ho: less humanity and benevolence tnterpose and hi home, we do not know, under these circumstances, what will beco ne of ns, But, dear sirs, we are not only anxious for ourselves—we have wives and children at bome daily expecting our rs- turn to supply their wants.

If our present condition was brought on us by ourselver, if it was created by our having violated your laws, or by any misconduct on our part, the case would have been different; we would, perhaps, under such circumstances, deserve no sympathy from the public, and no sympathy from the benevolent; but as you are aware that it was broug! t upon us principally by a man named George W, Beach, of the city of New York, we most humbly, and, at thesame time, confidently, beg of you agaia to use yeur kind enceayors to help us home to China, where both we and ba friends will spread your names throughout the empire.
