Edward SaUi for President.
It If universally admitted that tbe oppo
sition to tho present Administration litre
numerical strength if it in cordially united
mid thoroughly exerted luiTicicnt to elect
the next ."resident. Tho ritul question
then In, Who among the eminent statesmen
tlmt lead tho grout party of conserratire
Uepuulicauietn can nio.it surely concentrate
lU energies and secure iU success f la our
judgment, tho name which we hare placed
at llie lnd or thm article is a complete and
indisputable aiwwer to tliii question. We
do nut pretend tlmt there it no other who
tuny not he generally acceptable and secure
mi election. lint from this distant stand-
point, which male u look over tlie whole
field aith lew of prejudice tlwn is felt by
those who aw engaged in the discussion of
the relative rfaiais gf candidate!, we think
we can wo in our favorite, elements of rec
ommendation not m generally iosemed by
nny other of those who aro suggested.
In character, most irreproachable, and en
tirely above suspicion, with fifty years'
experience in public affairs j unexceptiona
ble in his ontcccdciiU and present position;
luciuuieii wiiu noiio or the vexed questions
Akaai Orta.
From a budget of letters mak ing Inquiries
about this country we publish the following
for tbe purpose of giving such Information
In answer to the nations of ourcoitestion
dent M will he satisfactory to him and all
others who Wish for information on tbe same
suljcct. We published a similar letter scr
era! months since, and although We Were
accused all orer the country of underrating
the adrautages of Oregon, the large edition
of that paper was soon exhausted, and we
have had numerous orders for copies which
we could not furnish. We were aware our-
self that in our former article wo were very
moderate in our statements, but we think it
much belter that immigrants into this coun
try should find a conditiou of things better
than they had exected from our represent
ations, than to be grievously disappointed,
as they always will be after having confided
hi Delusion's high-sounding epistle published
in tlie Peoria Union:
