Very aaectionately,
Your friend aud cousin,
JAMES CROW.
p S. Since writing The above, have looked again
at your "poor letter. Of the 30th of April last, and
find that your great cause Of indignation against the
Treaty of 1919, was that sit gave up national
boundary great river, (the Rio del Nortel de-
sert and mountain" at gave away not only the
Southern and sunny province o. Texas b,a what
Texas but part Of tho valley Of the Mississippi,
lying between Red river and the Arkansas, and er.

You say;
"Such sacrifice Of great national interests, SO
unanimously concurred in by the public authorities,
gave the first great shock TO my confidence in public
bodies the treaty Of the next year with the British
Government Tor the joint occupation OF the Oregon,
gave the second great shock; and the two shocks
together shook much that came into public
lite, in 1920, with very little concern for my po
sition, when should chance TO find myself standing
SOLITARY and alone" upon great national questions
Yet, in your speech, you complain that the Repub-
lie Of Texas comprises than ''lhe old Spanish

always desired. "Of these two Texases," you say, al

comprising all her seaboard, and keep the rest and
Mexico is not likely TO be able to cede any Of it.
am afraid, my dear cousin, that the repeated
"shocks' mentioned above, together with the shock
which YOU received on board the Princeton have
m AIDE such shocking havoc with your intellect that
you hardly know "whether you Giles, or not"

NoTE.-I invite the readers ofthe fore
going communication of Mr.. Jarvis to give
particular attention to the description OF
form, and wool, of the different varieties
of sheep which he imported. Describing
the Paular he says, that the skin is pretty
smooth, that is not rolling up or doubling
about the neck and body, as in some 9TH
er flocks; and the surface of the wool was
not so much covered with gum. The
Negretti flock with others, were loose
skinned and the skin was inclined to roll
or double; also all the loose skinned sheep
had large dewlaps. Does this description
of Paular sheep agree with what has
been given by other writers recently .
Have we not been made to understand that
Paular's skin must roll or double on the
neck and body, and have a huge dewlap
Exactly the reverse of this is the descrip-
ton given by Mr.. Jarvis. What has been,
in this particular, taken as proof of a sheep
being Paular is decided testimony to the
contrary. Have not the sheep that have
been taken for Paular's been much gum
med! The description of Mr.. Jarvis is
the reverse Of this; while the other focks
were considerably gummed the Paular' s
were slightly. Has it been understood that
the wool of the Paular was coarser than
the other merino's, while it was heavier |!
How does this correspond with Mr.. Jarvis
statement! He states that the quality of
wool differs very little i'll the six focks
described.
To what conclusion then must we inc
vitality come about this cry of Paular
Paular III is a hun,bug.

LAND SPECULATIoHs, AND WAR The
last hope Of kindliBg war with Great
Britain, among our specializing and irapor
ted patriots, seems 10 rest upon the Ore
gon question. And they are so fearful in
loosing it by an amiable adjustment, that
they are anxious TO bring on such a ca
lamity, before a negotiation can com
mence. A large share Of this kind OF
public spirit is TO DC found in Illinois,
Missouri and Arkansas. As 1t must be
perfectly apparent TO every body who
gives his attention 10 the subject that as
the people Of those States cannot want
more land for any good purpose, they must
be on the look out for chance to specu'
late on large scale and 10 secure that
chance, they are willing TO subject the
nation and the people to the multiplied ca
lamitics Of war--calami;ies which may be
severely felt for generations TO come,
Having lost the opportunity TO provoke
hostillties with Great Britain on the dis
putes and irritations which grew out Of
the North Eastern boundary, they now
turn their attention to the opposite side Of
the continent, with the intention, if posi-.
ible. Of producing a result more favorable
to their views and interests.
We trust that the members of Congress
from the States which must bear the bur-
dcns, and suffer the evils, of such war,
will unite to check the hairbrained schemes
of interested and reckless politicians OF
the Western States, who doubtless be-
lieve that such a war will be profitable TO
contractors, and greedy harpies, who al
ways thrive upon the calamities of their
country, especially those which grow out
of war. Having in friendly manner
adjusted and removed one source of ill-lee
ling and controversy with Great Britain
incomparably more important, and Of
course more irritating, than Oregon can
be, il would be the height of folly in our
government to be driven into another,
which may as easily be settled, merely for
the sake ofgratilying the selfish or yindic-
tive feelings of desperate adventures and
specializing politicians, the necessary re.
suit of which must be, the sacrifice of nm
immense amount Of property, and the de-
struction Of thousands of lives, without
any good, or even plausible, reason for
such national and personal evils.
