For ttie Oregon Spectator.
Mr. Kuitok The humble utteiupt of
Observer' to furnish information on a sub
ject of great public interest, bus been (issail.
ed in a lute number of the Spectator, by a
writer under the signature M., with u "de.
greo of usjK-rity of which it is impossible
to conceive the object or di-Nifjii. 'Oborv
cr's statements being founded on plain busi.
ties results, are so simple in themselves,
that any )eroii of common sent1 may un.
derstuud their import, and any jxTmxi sodis
posod may easily test their correctness ; the
prices of wheat and the rates of transport
Iwiag well known to the fanning and iner.
naaliln community of this country. A plain
statement is however, a matter that M.'
will not believe ; its very simplicity is per
plexing, and the strongest assurance of truth
only serves the more readily to overcome his
wavering faith ; for, he was taught in youth
tltntjdl men are deceivers, antl the experi.
ncc of his riper years has, alas! confirmed
tbe force of that precocious lesson of wis.
tiom.
No man, Mr. Hditor, can produce a strong.
r claim to sympathy, than tho victim of
suspicion. Tho suspicious temper finds uli
ment in ' trifles light as air;' and is the source
of endless vexation to the unhappy being on
whom nature or education has bestowed that
unenviable possession. Ho who has never
found truth in man, must have been unfor
tunate indeed in his experience, and in his
Association with his follow being.
For my own part, Mr. Editor, I love to
look at the bright side of human nature, to
urvcy that true nobility of soul, which, re
posing in the culm of conscious integrity,
hccs its own imago reflected in the minds of
other men, nnd judging of their actions by
its own upright motives, enn venture to be
lieve that virtue has not altogether fled tho
earth.
It is with much reluctance, Mr. Kditor,
that 1 now occupy your time with idle con
troversies ; it appears however, but nn act
of justice to renew the assurance, that tho
information in my former communication is
authentic, as may be proved on the clearest
evidence, from the documents i examined.
When ' M.' has read and understands what
1 then wrote on the subject, he will find that
he bus boon fighting with shadows of his own
ruisiug, and not with the Wutcineuts of Ob
server,' u fact which must plead my excuse
for not troubling you with further remarks.
OBSERVER.
