THE HORSE TRADE. Trading in horses has
been about ns brisk business any that has been
carried on in these parts the past winter. Good hor-
have sold for very high prices, and even some
poor ones, mended up most any way, have gone off
at more moderate Tntes; indeed the jockics have
found for any thing in the shape Of horse
they could manage TO mount four legs though
those legs might have been poor The specu-
ldon has almost equRlled the Eastern land MANN Of
1885. We have been visited with jockes from
down counry-some Of them shnrpers. Their oper-
nons have been extensive and produced rise in
the value OF horse flesh, They brought some
money with them. Some brought also other things
gold watches, SC. Their gold witches however,
nothing than silver watches guIoani:eh
Such as we have seen were silver, worth SIS, $50
and S25-whch, by process lately disco, cred were
made to appear very much like real gold watches
and are often disposed Of ut good round prices. To
be sure, they looked neat and were put up in fine
looking cases-but they were not gold If these men
have been successful in trading off silver for gold
watches they have sometimes got things Tor horses,
which were not than 'hnf horse -rngboned
and spawned broken windcd and half hipped. There
have been funny trndes made with the down
country shnvers, and some Of them have gone
OF, il il reckoned with the impression, tina, though
our domestic dealers are Green Mountain Boys, they
very green in the business of trading hors-
They know with whom they dealing. Good
horses have borne high price for several years aud
always will. And if good horses be raised
business is better than that OF raising them Such
horses go quick for high prices in the market now
while the market is gutted with ordinary horses
For first rate horses is much matter what the
price asked may be-they will sell.
II has been inerposed objection 10 rail roads
that their construction lessened the demand for hors
es. The horse market Of this region il Mnssachu-
sets, and within few years many rail roads have
been opened there. II is also true that for great
number of years the demand for good horses has
been better than for two three years past The
fact is, rail roads make business Of ali kinds,
new and increasing demands for almost every thing.
MIR DILLINGFIAM-TEXASA AND SLAVERY.
The vote OF this gentleman, deserves the severe
and hearty reprobaton Of every citizen Of tho State.
In opposition to the we'll known and of expressed
opinion of the people of the State, in opposition
we firmly believe to his convictions, he has
ted to extend the Of slavery and increase tha in
Auence Of the Slave power, and that too in gross vio
Iaton Of the Constitution. Over-awed by the sense
less rodomoniade and noisy gasconade ofthe slave
drivers Of the South he has with subserviance
basely bowed to the dark spirit Of Slavery and quiet
ly performed its bidding.
On the passage Of Milton Browns resolutions
through the house Mr. Dillingham; voted against them.
Why this change? On what Amsy preiext did he
finally vote for them, amended by the Senate7-
Was il, that in the event. the president did like
Milton Browns resolutions no clothed with the
power of negotiating for the admission Of Texas q
The" Aatsthat taken by this miserable pretext,
must feel their intelligence and shrewdness greatly
complimented upon hearing that President Tyler in
the expiring hoars Of his corrupt and imbece admin
istraton, without leaving the option to his successor,
Immediately transmitted the resolutions to Texas, so
that if Texas accept the the door Of negotiation
is closed.
We hope those abolitioniss who aided in electng
Mr. Dillingham; may have their sins forgiven in anoth
er world. In this, we opne, they will stick 10 them
like the poisoned shirt Of Nessus.-- Battle-Ground

Tho Phoenix does not understand the matter. 1t
would have been out of character decidedly in Mr.
Dillingham; not To have voted for and against Annex
alton. The Phoenix will observe that he seldom act
ed on any great question in his public life without
being both sides Of it, lie voted Just so on the
Tariff, and his the Texas question, are per-
recty characteristic of the Before election he
refused TO commit himself against annexation, but his
friends around telling the Locofoco opponents
Of Annexation that he certsinly opposed to the
measure, and the ''ints'' Of that party holding
these opinions voted for him, together with nearly ali
of the ocofoco Sd party men, So the world GOES
Again. after Polk reached Washington he held out to
all those no were looking FOR office that the condi-
