This is a quc:tiun that somebody over

faintly jiroiouinled in the "aumdard of

sinco, coiii!ed willi tho lintnsl admission,
that it was a ijuiMioti m;,'ii;iiit with in
terest, und (leiiiiinding far more tinio and
attention than lit was tibia to giv," and as
f urcs us that it Is a "(jiifstioii which every
roflcclive mini ought suiously to londer
upon."
Ho picsciits hiniM.lf to us ;u d.eiduilly u
man of thought niidob.rrv:ition, ono who
bysomo means has hit ti on nn original
idea, nud who seems to have pondered over
it much, and lilto a truo pliil jsopher, to have
come to the very best c inchn-ion ho could,
from all tho data w ithin his reach. To bu
suro his conclusion ia mnnly intimated, in
stead of being dogmatically affirmed, nnd
from the general tenor of his article, wc in
fer that surrounding circumstances (tho only
data within his possession) havo certainly
strengthened tho hojm, that all philosophy,
history and constitutional authority, added
to tho "recently avowed doetrino of ter
ritorial sovreignty, would, when fairly
brought to bear upon this question by thoso
having "sufficient time and titloittioti" to
tic vote to it, ch-nrly justify an nflirmntivo
answer, to a "nuestinti pregnntit villi so
much interest."
Tho cternal circumstaiscea which seem
to have justified him in his implied conclu
sion, and from whiih wn think wo g.ttt
clue at his charncTi'r, and occupalioii arc
clearly set forth in the following: "Ifnature
over marked out tho division of countries.,
it has done, so in North America. The

reason to believe that thusu boundaries, laid

llio war which is diuiiching liuropo with
bur best blood, speaks lo us in its grim ami
iron louej voico the impolicy of fulo politi
cal loundnries."
From his apparent familiarity with ''vast
chaiusof mountain," uo readily infer, that
liois some old "mountaineer," mid from
i his iguorauco of geography, uud history, ns
tdionii in his conclusion, that tho present
"war in Kuropo" is merely tho result of nn

The idea is certainly an original one, the
conception vast, and no wotid r that the
originator, by his announcement that it was
a subject "demanding mora time and atten

mated that he had hecme perfectly exhaust
ed by tho conception and birth of tho naked

its ramidcalions of practical execution, oven
to the sundering of tho political ligaments
that already bind these embryo republics,
from their present municipal conuections,
the institution ofto many suparato govern

back, startled at the magnitude of his own
incipient conception, unfolding itself iu the
future development of human liberty in its
full-orbed glory on the 1'aciCc Coast, the final
realization, both by the ruled and those that
dulre to rule, (especially the latter,) of tho
hitherto uncertain meaning of 'Trogresivo''
and the full coiisu'iunutiou of all that am

gitimate fruiis of the receutly discovered
principle of "squatter sovereignty."

'-' . . , , ,,
that arc successr.il!y propngaieu in

laudable one,) jr. the matter of fruit grow

ty, lh" owners of which are to entirely in

Auoth' r thing that has often surprised us
in pa-sing through the country, has been
the general aversion lo seedling fruit, and
the disposition manifested lo cultivate noth
ing but the choicest kinds, selected from thu
most popular nurseries in the States. Now
and then borne "old fofy" iu the maich of
progression has been found who would cu-
Icrtiiin you fr hours over a dish of Ins
"wonderful seedlings," iu nn elaborate tugu
uici.t', to prove that his seedlings "were ju-t
as good as any body's grafts,'" and amount
ing, in tho summing up, to the fact "that
they tasted just as good to him." Tho
bringing of his fedlings in'o competition
with llio cultivated fruit in market, howev
er, nnd finding a difficulty in disposing of
ihem at foiiror five dullais per bushel, whilst
llio popular varieties of grafted fruit went
oir readily nt from ten to twenty dollars per
bu-hel, has gneral proved nn argument
sufficiently convincing, to strip him of every
vestigo of horticultural fonyism, which soon
manifested itself in a ihorouf'i stripping of
hislreesof worthless seedlini ranches, nnd
a substituting in their stead the nioro popu
lar and profitable varieties.
The facilities for obtaining almost every
variety of cultivated fruit, of nn undispu
ted geiiuinencsj, are now such that no liver
of it is without excuso who fails to supply
himself immediately. There are already
many nurseries in tho country, embracing
in their catalogue of varieties almost every
thing n person can call for.
Our old friend, Mr. Sajwkl Simmons,
who resides upon the beautiful MontieelloJ
farm on Howell i nline, Marion County,
has just laid upon our table a number of
specimens of tho genuine Early Harvest
aud Red Astracan apples, deservedly popu
lar in the Northern nnd Western States, ns
among tho best varieties of early fruit.
Mr. Simmons has an orchard of sonio
!)(iO benriug trees, embracing tho choic
est varieties of summer, fall, nnd winter np
pies, besides a great variety of pears, plums,
cherries, peaches, eVc. He has also a thri
ving nursery containing some twenty thous
nnd ihrifly young trees, embracing over fifty
varieties of fruit. His fruit was originally
taken Troiii the selection made by Mr. John
W. Laud, who now resides upon the "Moii
troso Farm," some twelve miles up ihe Wil
lamette, on tho west bank of tho river,
where he has opened a beautiful piece of
ground, and is engaged exclusively iu the
nursery business. Mr. Ladii d' servesgrcat

We slated that number
of our auo-cribers in that delivery had cotn-0
plained to us that they frequently missed
'ftting their paper, nnd tinted also that
wkinerortiir8 ft Mm of our
whole jmckaije, there was not a failure of a
single paper, mid that if the package arrived,
and A, H, or C, failed to get his paper, the
fault was in tho Lafayetto 1'. 0. Wc also
stated that no haj teen oumlf one num-i
her of our paper in tho possession of a man
who boro a different n.11110, from that plainly'
written on the paper, nnd that ho informed
us, the r. M. gave it to him. This so, far
from being a "smuggling" we should think
w.otild be better expressed by rather wo
liberal a "dhtributlon." If our subscribers
feel themselves aggrieved in such matters,
ihey have a perfect right to complain, and
we feel it our duty to speak of such defaults
plainly and fearlessly, coino from whatsoiirce
Ihey may. Tho fad that tho gentleman
having thargo of tho Lafayetto 1'. 0. is a
whig, and stands opposed to tho "Oregon
dynasty" could not possibly lessen in our
eyes, tho criminality of a dereliction of of

Our excellent friend, l)r. Adair, writes
us that the Cumberland Presbyterians have
just closed a protracted meeting in the Wal
do Hills, Marion County, under theiuaiinge-
incut of Rev. Messrs. Neal Johnson, Small,
and Henderson, and that "during the meet
ing, which lasted from the 7th to tho 11th
of July, thero were thirty that professed,
twenty-two of whom united with the
Church."
Dr. Adair deserves a lilllo notice from us,
and perhaps we might as will say just hero that
he is the only genuine "teetotal temperauce man"
that we have ever yet had tho good fortune to seo.
Iu a receiil Cunvcrsatiuu with him, he iuforined us,
tliut although he has now lived ubout thirty years,
he has never yet taskd of leu, coffee, tobacco, ci
der, or ardent spirits pf any kind whatever. If wc
remember right he informed us Ihut he had Ave
living brothers, who were nil equally temperate

Mr. Adasis Dur Sir : I notice iu Tna Aa
ocs of July .11, that some person or perons have
bsen coniplttinini; of this Post-office, or rather
of the carelessness of tho l'ftat-musr. Row as
lo the conqilaiut about letters, I know tiothiiifr about
it, but in regard to the missing puckngo of Tun
AsocSjthe week before Ihe election, 1 ca.alcll you
all obouiit. That week we received no niuil fiom
below, neither letters nor papers. The fuult, then,
iu regard to that matter, is either at SaU-iu, or be
low. Your article troubles the old man that keejis
the offiice, and although ho may huve bet-u a little
curt less ul times, 1 do nut believe that he is inten
tionally . I do not agree wilh him in polities, nur
have I the least synqiuthy for the Durham d.. inisty.
but if any person calls at this office for papers or
letters aud does not get them, when in tho office,
it is his own fui.lt, for the old geullemun will nol
lake il unkindly if urged to look the whole store
over. 1 take The A unci (nud think il tho best
p;iper in Ihe Territory) and Orego.iian, aud huve
never yet hud any dilh'eully in getting them. In
deed, the old man has ojKUed the store after night
to accommodate me with my mail mutter.
You euu put.lish this or not, at your option ; but
give the (Devil) his due.
Yours truly, F. B. Snt.UU'E.
We most cheerfully publish tho fore
going, for the purpose of giving the Sub
limity office the benefit of all the explana
tion it Las to make, in reference to the
complaints mat, nave b"en nia'Jo lo us
about its mismanagement. If it litis any
thing mora to offer it shall most n-stiivdly
bo heard, ns we always rejoie'e more iu seeing
any pel-son honorably acquitted of n charge,
thau in seeing him proved guilty.
The complaints that were made to us
came from nu n who aro perfectly reliable,
mid could hardly bo mistaken as lo the f.ic's
of which they testified.
We are perfectly willing however, to put

matter, nnd take Mr. Spraguo at his word,
that although tho P. M. may Lave been
"careless," ho was not probably "intention
ally so."
When a man fails iu the discharge of nn
ofiical duty, through an Mtiitkntional remte
ness, or from a total inability topcrfoim it,
he is certainly to be looked upon with a
great deal of charity, although we feel as
though tho injury we receive by the default

We hope no bachelor will fail lo read the life

which bears tho name of "Bacholor'a Hall'' (it
ought to be Bachelor's Hole) by Viola ou 'our out

sweet housekecpei aro so graphically set forth by
her, we don't ace how any bachelor can longer
resist uie temptation lo try the experiment.

Who woi k'd all the wlulo lo bring Usde lo the house
And himse lf n.ver gl on a bender.

Thai a fault, o'en tho least, could be mude of.
No wonder ho tried to deli-lid every flieilil

Whose souls he coul.l I wist if he wanted lo bend,
Or could dr.ve asrnncheroa drive cattle.

Corrupting of wtuk human natures.

They voted Ihe ticket entirely und worse,

You went throng!) the county at large ;

To be sure, 'lis not alwuvs the cine

But so puro is the brass in your face,
You're the boy to succeed, I'll be bound.

I may have been wasting the time,
But a dozen O'Kourkes all stand ready,
Quite iiblo to fill up my rhyme.
There's the genuine Irish utl'air,
Newly come to an office as well,
That wulks with to sw-elliiig an uit
And talks with so linishci! a swell.

Went down most remarkably fast,
But perhaps a more prudent reflection
Has brought bi.n up Teddy at last. ' ''
There's Ihe long-legged Crane of a crealuro
Sometimes corresponds with the "Pott" :
He needs but a bill ; nnd his feature
Could bo vastly improved, free of cost.
He's a Mujor u "nigger" and ho
Both run for Ihe office and so
As Ihe darkey wns not known to be
On Ihe truck he had uot half a show;
The Adjutant General loo,
W ho roosts at the Odd Fellows' door.
Who knows but a notion or two,
Turned him to this Irish O'Moore,
He ought to be laboring hard
To defend the good Durhnmsfn in sliame
Since their leaders do naught but retard '
All his honost endeavors lor fame.
They like to be playing the fiddle,
And do all the dancing themselves;
So the rest are required to be patient, ' '
