had my attention arrested by an editorial
which discussed in the editor's pccnlur style
the connection of Lane and Gwin with the
Southern fire-caters and disin.ionists. The
charges against Lnno were certainly of a
very gravo und svriotis character, but
Bush wroto us though he regarded them
ns absolute truth. I have for years looked
upon Lane as very dishonest, and in.ilii-tiotis-,
as very weak and wicked, but I
had not even yet sti pored him such nn uu
mifgnted fool as to suppose ho could lead
Oregon into t.-eusou and revolution. The
idea of this State provin? itself faithless to
tl.o Union to gratify such men as Lane,
Delazon, & Co. got possession of my mind,
and though I tried to persuade mysclfth.it
it wus only for buncombe, yet I could not
shitko it oh. On going, however, to my
own ranch, I found my mail matter for the
week awaitng me. There wus a litter
from at. old friend now residing in the
South. Tie concludes his loiter with the
following iiKi'iirv. "If thu South scic.le.
will Oregon remain with the North or set
up with California for self? I would r. juice
lo know what are the feelings of the
people of Oregon, as there is a diversity of
opinion hero about Oregon."
So there is a cat in the meal after all.
Our Southern friends wish to be assured.
They are not fully satisfied that old Jo's
promises can be relied on. Let them
wait. The first of November will open their
eyes, u lien these startling nnd treasona
ble enterprises are fully developed, Oregon
will amply define her longitudes nnd lat
itudes. If Aaron Burr, for conceiving a
plot to dissolve tha Union, was consigned
to infamy, should not Lane, Delazon & Co.
be speedily burled to a still deeper gulf of
disgrace and shame? We can now sec why
old Joe is tailed on to the Southern ticket.
They hope thereby to draw the Pacific
States into their revolutionary schemes.
But they will yet learn thnt the peoplo of
Oregon " have ubout cp.it" nibbling at
such baits.
As Sheil was brought ont and elected
through the management of these disunion
ists, and as he is their topi, ought not the
Legislature set this election aside, and give
tho people a chance to elect a pure patriot?
We farther see from these developments
how much importance to attach to the lond,
long, and noisy clamor ahont the Union,
by Lane nnd Delusion. It is thief crying

He came to tho conclusion, and so tells his ! Jl Plw. it will be. equally inter-
confidential friends, that "the Union
withstanding all these dissolution?, it stands
more firmly to-day than it did when it was
proclaimed from the steps of the Old State
House of the good old city of Philadelphia.
Why, boy, I have lived through no less
than eight dissolutions of the Union, thirty
three critical crises, and twelve overwhelm
ing national destructions, nnd I have got
use to them, tNiinuei, nnd they only make
mo smile nt the folly of tho insects who
bring them about. What would yon say
if you saw n mosquito attempting; to re
move tho pyramids of Egypt, a flea trying
to swallow un elephant, or an infant with a
squirt expecting to put out the light of the
blessed sun? You would laugh, Samuel,
laugh, as I do, when I hear of mosquitoes,
flea-', or children for thoso who think of
it have no more power attempting to dis
solve this Union the 1
firm ns the pyramids.
Sammy, you have been listening too
much to some of your wild, young brothers,
who won't employ themselves in anything
elso that, getting up sensations, nnd have
lived so much upon excitement that they
can't do without it; but they really do not
mean any harm; it is only a way they have.
They saw yon were easily frightened, nnd
they amused themselves with yonr fears;
but you must got rid of those, for they are
not creditable to the family. If the men
who threw tho tea overboard, in IJostou
hnrbor, or tho defenders of Bunker Hill,
hnd got frightened at ghost stories, or red
coats, Thomas Jefferson would never have
written the Declaration of Independence,
or Washington been President of tho Uni
ted States.
" What are you to do?" Is it necessary
thnt you should ask such a question? Do
your duty, Samuel! Do as the men of
Bunker Hill, Saratoga and Yotktown
would have done ascertain what is right,
nnd pursue the right; follow truth and jus
tice, even to the ennnon's mouth nnd jaws
of death. Consult the God I ko Washing
ton and reason with Thomas Jefferson
they both live still, although they are dead
and see what they would do. If yon still
doubt, avail yourself of the wisdom of Ben
jamin lTiiiiKiin, ana listen to me uurntng
words of Patrick Henry; invoke the coun
sel of Madison, the elder Adams and Mon
roe; nor wotilil ll lexa yon asrruy to near
what John Randolph, of Roanoke, Henry
Clay nnd Daniel Webster say. If they
oAoiif at its tnJ, and ho bus gone homo to
put his bouse in order preparatory for
dissolution." Ho says the only contingency
that can save the Union is the ndoptiot. by
the Douglas Democrats of tho North, of the
esltitg to note how complitily the two
have changed ground ns to the principle
upon whieh tiny were origiuully supposed

Why Novels End with Markiare.
There is a good reason why novels always
end with the marnigo of the hero and
heroine our interest is always excited
more by the struggles than by tho result
of victory. So loug as the lovtrs ore
unhappy or apart und are cugrr to vanquish
obstacles, our sympathy is active, but no
sooner are they happy than we begin lo
look elswhere for other stragglers on
whom to bestow our interest. It is the
same with biography. We follow the hero
through the early yenr3 of struggle
with intense interest, and ns long as he re
mains unsuccessful, baffkd by rivals or neg
lected by the world, we staud by him and
want him to succeed; but the day after he
is recognized by the world, our sympathy
begins to slacken.

The Piti-.siiRVATioN ok tiik Piano.
Keep the piano from exposure to dampness.
In rainy wenther keep the windows of tho
room closed. Have it well tunc d us often
ns needed whether it be used or not. No
money pays a belter interest llian that
which you pay for tuning your piano.
Close tho piano nftcr using it, pnrticuiiirly
when tho room is to bo swept. Avoid
placing pins or need!, s on the piano. If
they full inside, their jnrring will bo a
great annoyance. Make it a rule never to
placo water-pitchers or tumblers on the
top of tho piano. The use of bellows to
remove the dust is preferable to the use of
a brush. Raise your fihgers from tho keys
with the samo promptness with which you
strike them, ns a slow, iiinrticuluted motion
is not strong enough to rcmovo the dust or
other obstacles from the points of friclien.
