after column of bahlfaced pretensions that
upon the success of democracy rest the

that democratic policy ought lo bo in har

round nnd sets up a secict cuiccs, con

thai the people had not elected a bushile

far thosu politicians presume' upon the ig.
tioronco of llio people, we might instance
the course of this Salem o'gnn, which, nf
ter reading out tho men before mentioned,
for not supporting the noiuinne of a eecroi
caucus, a nominee which their constituent
did not want them to support, turned round
and advised the locofncos of Multnomah
not to vole for a "regular noinineo" of a

Wo hear that a man living on Ross'

We have heard of quile a number of
instances of robbery in tho Territory du

dicato that we have some cullus t ilk urns
among us. Well, there isone consolation ;
editors and printers can sleep soundly, for
w ho ever knew a man fool enough to enter
a priutei'a dwelling in hopes of stealing
any thing of value.
The only robbery we ever read of that
was perpetrated on nn editor, was llio one

not known. All these apples are in a fine
stnto of preservation, and tho Northern
Spy, which has had the reputation of not
doing well in this climate, is as perfect an
apple as there is in the lot. Wo are in
clined to believo that this apple, which has
a world-wide fame, may yet prove lo be
well worth cultivating in Oregon.
Mr. Ladd hns spared no pains or ex
pense in introducing ihe choicest varieties
of fruit and shrubbery in Oregon, and we
are glad to learn that the popularity of his
fruit, sinco il is tested, is measurably re
warding him for his trouble. We predict
that more money will bo brought into the
country the net five years for fruit, than
for any other ono product of the country.
Mr. Luelling informs us that the experi
ments mado in fruit raising in California
have induced ihe belief that "hot climato is
not well adapted to winter varieties. Cal
ifornia and Oregon winter apples were
sold at the same standi in San Francisco,
and the Oregon fruit sold for enough more
over the other to pay the price of ship
ment. While the California fruit seems to
beat ours in weight we excel them in flavor.

The Wisconsin Electokal Votf.. A
messenger having in charge the electoral
vole of Wisconsin, arrived in Washington
tlio first week in January. The vote, it
will be recollected, wns not cast on the
first Wednesday of December, as directed
by law, in consequence of a severe snow
storm having prevented the electors from
reaching the Stale capital in season.
They arrived, however, on tho fullowinj:
day, cast ihn vote of tho Siato ns usual,
and appointed a messenger lo convey it to
Washington. It is said the Treasury De
partment promptly allowed the messenger
his compensation and mileage. It will be
for Congress to determine tho legality of
the vote ; and as it cannot uflV.ct the result

that ul that lime the allies had not taken

Up to the 17th ins'. Walker had not
heard of the river and hiko steamers being
taken by I lie Costa Ricans, although from
their non-nrrival, he had suspected some
thing of ihe kind. Ho had a schooner on
the lake of 80 tons, with which ho was in
hopes uf regaining the steamers, in the
event of ihcir having fullen into tho hands
of tho allies.

Il appears tolerably well settled that the
Nicaragua line is now broken up, at least
for a lime, even according to ihe most fa
