la lb reign of George the II, daring

oxen each. I would includo not only the
property expended fir tho direct purchase

and I will suppose this to double eery
year for 10 years. As in too rum selling

lons to every Imlitldiial, yearly, (a very
low estimate, if we leave nut of the ac
count tho vast quantities which w 111 go in
to tho hands of ihu Indians ono way and
another,) at two dollars a gallon ; and a

allow each wagon to carry ono ton, which
I about 83,000. I would have the

where, if I have made a correct estimate,
four year and two months would elapse
before tho last wagon could arrlte. I

Ma. Hditoi In the first number of the
third olumo of the Spectator, I notice an
tct proposing to amend the organic lawa
of lho provisional government of Oregon,
by striking out in the sixth section the
word " Regulate" and inserting "Prohib

a wrTect" Impression from .ths'rcadkag
of this act; the proposed amendment re
lates exclusively to the introduction, ma.

I suppose sir, that the columns of your
paper will bo open to receive a full and
candid discursion of lho merits and demer
its of this proposed amendment ; of the ad
vantages and disadvantages that may
arise to individuals and lho citizen at
large, so that when c endorse upon our
otc, " Regulate" or " Prohibit" we can
do il, having tho benefit of a full discus.
iion upon tho subject. I'or I hold sir, that
it is the duly of every freeman, to know
definitely for whom or what he votes, and
then to vole his real sentiments, having
hi mind free from all external bodily or
mental (ear or Influences, that may in any
way deprive him of Ida natural powers or
mental abilities.
Tom; mind this question proposes two
great principles; the on having a politi
cal bearing tending in it ultimate, results,
to tho present and future welfare and in
dependence of a large portion of the citi
xena of Oregon ; and air, I query if it will
not effect a majority of tho present Inbabl
tants, and mako them either freemen or
slaves. Allow me to ask in canllor, all
those persons now in Oregon, who have
been accustomed to lake iheirliquor freely
when it wa within their reach, and who
have formed a habit of drinking, if they
are not alavea;' perhaps I should use a
milder term, and ask, if they do, not feel
irreslstably bound under the influence of
Alcohol or Ardent spirit, whenever they
como within tight or smell of it, lo (taste a
drop of the "good creature," falsely ao
called, and pray tell ua candidly T No 1
will not aak you to loll any one, but lim
ply to make up your mind without the aid
of one drop of ardent spirits, and with your
mind free and in the condition in which
God and nature mado It, endorse upon
your vote "lavery" to your appetite,
for vourlf. vour family, frlenda and
country or, Lisirty to never again be
brought within the grasp of this fell mon
ter to not again behold Its loathsome and
poluting influence upon yourself, your fa
mily, your friends or your country. This
wa H have an opportunity to do. By
endorsing upon our rots, tha word " Re
gulate." wa Instruct 'our representative
to plaoe within our reach all Kinds of in
toxloatiag drinka, ao that wa and all we
hold dear on earth, may gratify our appe
tltet at the expense of oar property, eha
riotor, and 'our liberty : for it matter not
ends of us and our children, when we shall
bo deprived ofour liberty to vote, simply
because wo are not willing to forego the
present gratification ofour appetites, and
imagine by voting, " Prohibit',' lhat.we.de.
prlve ourselves ofour liberty, which when
all is said and over, amounts to notldng
more nor less than getting beastly drunk
when we please.
Take another viow of tins question, sup.
se we vote " Regulate," we can have
probably some sixty groceriea or dram
shos, and tomoten distilleries in Oregon;
they will employ from eighty to one hun
dred persons, and what will their labor
amount to in 'Ida country : let ua go a lit
tie farther, suppose these groceries, dram
shops, and distilleries, have about them as
customer, loafer, etc. upon an average,

Musss. Flkct it Sraaa. At your re
quest, I forward you an account of my
mode of treating hog. I have on my farm
an orchard, containing many ehoioe fruit
tree, bearing aweet apples, loey were
planted expressly for boa, apple being
the princlplal food on which they are fed
during the season; sometimes, by way of
change, they receive sour appies, always
fed raw. at rrsular hours. The food is
occasionally varied by adding garden re
fuse, auch as cabbage leaves, cauilnower,
die, together w iih the slop from the house.
Unless so fed, a more expensive animal
can scarcely be kept, especially in a coun
try where corn can be sold for from 03)
to ?& cent per buth and other grain in
proportion This ' luxury my begs
never partake of. If corn and apples were
Worth the same per bushel, would feed
apples in preference: tbe pork hi sweeter,
and fifty per cent whiter ; it may loose a
littlo In boiling; If il doe, however, I have
never noticed II. They are tbe most pro
lific animal we have, producing at a birth
numbers varying from six to twelve twice
In each year, if found desirable by the
owner. In eleven years a aingis sow,
averaging at each lluer sis pigs, will, ia
ten generations, produce six millions, four
hundred and thirty-four thousand, eight
hundred and thirty-eight nigs. Extend
ihe calculation lo tbe twelfth generation,
and ihe result would be aa gn at a number
aa all Europe could support, and to the
sixteenth generation, the whole world
would be overstocked.
Wlien my sows are areanant they are
kept apart from other bogs, at the birth of
the young pigs theyare removed for a fow
