found in Poverb Chapter 26th verse 4 we might reply
thus "Our friend of the Journal seems dissatisfe ed

This is certainly fair representation of tie views
of friend of the Journal his is of ours but on
this subject cannot fad heart to employ
ridcu!e and we will satire. We are
persuaded that the object of friend of the Journal
is with ours-the promotion of the security of lite

comprising this we differ; Tor while at the

We are not dissatisfied" that we have never had a
hanging party" but we regret the existence of the
fearful iact that there within this County bloody

SHALL WE HAVE WAR we cannot say pOSltlVely,
yes, or no but we do say NOW, NEVER. There is
no conceivable cause, to create war hereafter which
does not exist present. If we look at the Oregon
