11IIIAM STRAIGHT is a cjiikIkIiUv
for Kciirosentutive bcfuro you. I wish to
stiito a four fuels concerniiiir his conduct to
wards mo, that you mny juil;o whether a
man who will wrong a neighbor can bo
trusted to tuke clmrn-o of too intorcat of
his county. IIo sold a portion of his land
claim in 1840, to T. Mngrudor, without tho
conveyance of his wifo a was usual in
such caaca. I bought tho Riuno hind of Ma
cruder, and paid him 8.5UOO, and have sinco
t;n)rovod it at great expeuso to myself, yet
Straight, knowing all this, induced tho Sur
veyor Gencrul to asiign iliis very hind to hi
Wife, that ho might deprive mo of my just
right, and receive tho benefit of mine and
my family's labors, and now refuses to per
fect my title. His pretouco is, that ho will
not do this, becnusa I nin trying to make
mm pny mo anoiuer dobt, for winch I hold
him responsible, as ono of tho Clackamas
Milling Company, though I have offered by
referenco in any fair manner to submit tho
matter of his responsibility, nnd to throw olf
iOUO ot tho award made in my favor by
inreo disinterested men. nnd have even ot
(Wed to leave it to himself, if he would show
the books of tho Company, and give up his
tlaim to my land. This has been refused
and 1 liavo been informed that ho bus even
offered lo sell my hind, if he could find a pur
chnser. His idea scPtns to bo, that because
I have two just claims ngainst him, one for
land una onn tor lugs furnished to tho mills
of which I b.-liuvo hu was part owner, I must
abandon tlio latter, or be robbed of both.
This lji culU honorablo and right, thus to
Keep my iiropcrly, and expects tho endorse
infill of in cowry tor ins instihcation.
The firfi'.'oii)1' statements aro true, nnd if
denied in tinr.' fur ine to prove them lfuru
the eli-ction 1 will try to do so. I submit it
to you, whether such conduct entitles a man
to your MipiMM t, or could you, if ho was
elected, plat"; miy cmilnlence in him I
J. T. 1IUN3ACKER.
P. S. Since writing tho above, I run in

presence of regularly chosen and disinterested
judges, produce a renier that will do more and
better work than UiirrM t Lonvcrtiblt lieaper.
Sa d trial to occur during the coming harvest,
aud not more than one reaper of any one kind to
be introduced as competitors. Time and plaee to
be agreed on with parlies entering for the trial.
iielow wo g.ve a nonce of this machine aud
seme uf the advantages claimed for it :
" At the trial of reapers in the harvest Held III
Geneva, New York, in Jaly bi'l, by the judges ap
pointed by the iVtie Yort State Agricultural
Society, nine reapers were entered, and each re
quired to out about three acne of wheat and two
of barloy much lodged and tangled, the straw soft
and tough, on rough and uneven ground. Every
facility was atlbrdcd fur a full andimpartlal trial,
and examination aa to draft, construction and per
formance; and the first prize was awarded lo
Thoa D. Burrill for the Best Grain Reaper.
1 be judges, In the report, say : 1 T. D. Ilurrill
machine performed its work in the most admirable
manner; the gavels were well laid, the workman'
ship aud materials excellent.' It has no extra
wheels or pinions beyond what are simply nece.
sury ; no reel to beat down and waste the grain,
uo band wheels, pulleys, belts, straps, or harness
to get out of order; simplicity and strength for
doing work all day and ecery day hare been the
leading objects.
1st. it cuts grain ot oil kiuds, in all conditions,
without clogging, and may be worked either by
horses or oxen.
2d. It cuts at any height required by a few1
momenta change.
3d. It discharges the grain in the rear, if pre.
ferred, liko Hussy's, or at the aide, like McCor
mick's. This change is made by an extra apron,
(attached in a moment,) from which the grain ie
laid in better condition than by any other machine.
4th. It has a balance wheel, which gives a qui
et and uniform motion lo the machine.
We have a few of th -ss reapers for sale. They
will bo ready for exhibition on and after April 211th.
aud the attention of Farmers is solicited to TUB
