GENTLEMEN:--Your communication of
the Sd inst. accompanied with the pro-
ceedings Of meeting of the friends OF
Che present administration in Cleveland,
on the Isl inst, came 10 hand several
DAYS since, but private business has pre-
vented me from replying until ncw.'-
The very favorable opinion your meeting
has been pleased to express in relation
tomyself and my official conduct, and
the very kind and fattering terms in
which you have seen proper TO commu-
nicate that opinion, have placed me un-
der obligations which find il difficult 10
express. "A public servant can receive
no greater reward than the appreciation
Of his counirymen. 1t is the more graf
living in times like these, of high party
excitement, when the acts of public a.
gents are so liable to be misunderstood
and misrepreseDted. To you, gentlemen,
aud those you represent, tender my
grateful acknowledgements for this mani.
fsstation Of your appreciation and friendly
feelings.
1t IS expected, under free and liberal
institutions like ours, that there will gen

the case at this time, and while all agree
upon the great and fundamental princi-

republican institutions, and which consti-
tute the creed Of the democratic party,
we are divided on men. No evil can re-

We saw two carriages apprOaching,gal.

He was dressed in a green coat: with lit

of the legion of honor. | only saw his
bust framed in the square Of the carril
age window. His head fell upon his
chest-the famous medallic head of the
old Roman Emperor. His forehead fe Il
forward; his features immOveab.s, we're
of the yellowish color of wax, only his
eyes appeared to be alive. Next hin,
on his left, was Prince Jerome. King
without kingdom, but faithful brother.
He was at that period, fine young man

his features regular and we'll formed, his
beard black, his hair elegantly arranged
He saluted in place of his brother. whose
vague glance seemed lost in the future
perhaps in the past. Opposite the En-
peror was Letort, his aid-de. camp, an ar
dent soldier, who seemed already to snuff
the air Of battle; he was smiling too, the
poor fellow, as if he had long days to live
All this lasted for about minute. Then
the whip cracked, the horses neighed
and all disappeared like vision.

TO THE FRIENDS OF THE SAB.
BATH OF ALL DEN ONIINATIONE,
WITHOUT DISTINCTION.
On the right observance ofa day of
rest from worldly cares and laborS, and
of religious employment and privilege,
depends the moral and spiritual welfare
of man. Let one day in seven be thus
kept holy by all, and religion will -four
ish, and peace and order and harmony
will prevail--the glOry of God will be
declared; but let this institution be neg~
lected, the day of holy rest desecratsd,
and ell mans best interests will suffer in
proportion. And the observance or pro-
fana,ion of the Sabbath has the same ins
Husnca on Oul civil and political safety
and prosperity and improvement; for re-
lgion lies at the basis Of liberty and or
der-of individual and national well be-
ing. -.
That this divine institution is sneglect-
ed in an alarming degree, and violated
in every form to wide extent, is unde'
niably true. and we have reason to fear
that the consequences Of this neglect and
violation WILDE felt by us in all our va
ried interests.
To svert the progress Of this evil, diff.
ferent measures b ave been adopted with
4 greater OF lass success. Among these
are the holding Of general meetings Ol
all christian denominations, without dis
tinction Of name or form, Of persons o.
every description who are favorable to /
faithful and Conscientious observance o
the christian Sabbath. This measure, i
is believed, has produced good, withOu

OREGON,

"BRITlSH UsURFATION IN OREGON
Information has reached Springfield, ILL.,,
that DR.. Mclaughlin, the British com
mander At Fort Vancouver, has claimed
the site of town situated in Oregon
Territory, and clearly within the limits of
the United States. The town in ques,
ton is near the Falls of the Waliamut, and
has recently been built by emigraAts
from the Western States. Dr.. McLaugh.
lin claims the sight by right of discovery,
and has warned the Americans not TO in,
terfere with his pretensions. Such was
the state Of things in May last, according
to the information given by Mr.. VIM.
Suttoa to the editor Of the Springfield
Journal. Mr.. Sutto left the settlement
in May, and ia the bearer Of petition
from the settlers to the government at
Washington, asking national protection"
From the Territorial Gazette.
THE OREGON ADVENTURES.
We have another letter from our late
fellow citizen, M M. McCarver, who, it
is woll known, with several others from
this Territory, attached himself TO the
large emigraling expedition to Oregon
which took up its line ormarch last spring.
The letter has been an unusually long
time on the way, but it will still be read
with interest. The emigrants have,
doubtless, ere this, reached their places
destination, on the Western slope OF the
American continent. The distance from
Fort Laramie TO theigap in the noun
tains, known as the "South Pass" as
travelled by Lieut.. Fremont, is three
hundred and twenty miles, and required
twenty FIVE days TO make il, but the emf
grants have, probably, pursued more
direct course, and reached the mountains
in less time. Allowing them the same
time, however, they reached the "South
Pass on the 7th August. This would
give them, up to the present time, more
than two months to reach the valley Oi
the Columbia, which we think is an am
pie allowance.

The editor of The Madisonian offers as an in
ducement TO agents who will make il business
to obtain subscribers IN the country. oNE-rHlRD
OF ALL ADVANCE PAYMENTS FOR NEW sUBscRI-
BERs. 1t being impossible to have personal
acquaintance with the agents in distant places
any person wishing TO become an agent will be
recognised as such upon procuring from the
nearest Postmaster (whetherD Democrat or Whipy
a certificate of his good character. This ar.
rangementis suggested simply because the edi-
tor can confide in those whom The Government
coniides Inland not because the Postmasters
hold Office under the Administration which the
Madisonan supports.
The above proposition is made, and the lbe-
raj per cent. offered, with view to extend far
Their the already large circulation of the paper
during the ensuil8~Ds, when topics Of unusual
interest will be dyscussed, and which discussions
should be extensively disseminated among the
People.
The daily paper $40 90; tri-weekly IS 90;
weekly 81 90; invariably in advance. Agents
procuring ne1 subscribers, will retain one-third
of the money.
