1 BAD LUcK.--gt is not often, remarks the
PENNSYLVANIA, tliatsa body Of more unfortu-
na,e men is to be found than The wings
They begin every game with all prospects
Of success, and lose horribly IN the ends-T
Let us recount thoir calamiiies, since the
war excitement has begun: sis
First They charged The administration
with having made no preparations for war
and with having sent the army ioaa disputed
territory. Both charges have been com
pletely rcfu,ed by General Taylor's own lei
ters, and by the admissions Of Wings them
selves.
|, Second. They charged that The admins
ration had treated Gen. Scott pnjustly in or
dering him 10 the war, and then in refusing
to let him 60 And now they are forced to
denounce Scott themselves, in order 10 get
out Of the dilemma
IHrd-They censure Tie administration
for removing Gen. Gaines from his command;
and now it appears that Gen. Scott himself
pronounced Gen. Gaines "nsane,' as long
ago as last October, and recommended that
he be placed on "an indefinite leave Of abb
sence" lssf3 siets9st
We should not be at all astonished ifathe
4th calamity of these gentlemen was to be
that Zachary Taylor, whom they are now ex
alting as Wing, should prove 10 be a good
Democrat. m sF
This would be sthe most unkindesi Gu, of
all.n etit

sionary establishment, on the Wallawalla

ing condition, and enjoying the confidence
of the Indians. Oregon City contains po-
pulaiiop of about eight hundred. 1t con-
tains two churches, one a Methodist, and The
other Catholic churcb--two -four mills,
and three saw mills. Oregon City is now
the residence of Dr. McLAUGuIN, who has
resigned his post in the Hudson Bay Com

for the improvement Of the territory. The
Camel around and Willamette Falls, fJr the
erection Of which bill passed the Oiegon
Legislature last year, it is now proposed to
convert into a railroad, and it is expected
that this will be done in a year or two. The
territory of Oregon itself is represented 10

perously employed, and those who went TO
that county last year, arc represented as well
satisfied with their situation. The inter
course between the Hudson Bay Company,

character, though great inteTe ST was mani

sion of ouriniormenl, that the treaty arrange

north OF the Columbia, which has been,
generally represented as of very poor and
indifferent quality, is not so regarded by our
informant. 1t is susceptible Of cultivation,
and is cultivated 10 considerable extent by
the Hudson Bay Company, who find market
for Wheat at $3.50 per bushel, in the Rus

THE Tariff IN PENNsYLvANIA- As The
views Of the Democrats in Pennsylvania on
the tariff question have been misrepresented
TO great extent We quote the following
from letter in the PennsyIpdnidn, written
Mt Eaton
The Democracy Of this Congressional
District are essentially sound and correct
upon this subject--their views are not 10 be
misrepresented or mistaken. To tell The
plain truth, the Tariff of ls42, Just precisely
g as IL is' from beginning TO end, has but
very few friends here, aside from the inter-
ested iron men, most, if not all, of whom arc
and always have been Wigs of the bittercst
kind, and who under the glorious g protec-i
tom of this glorious Tariff OF lS42, have
been actually clearing 40 per cent on their
invested capital for the last two years, g. all
boring hands are in some instances very
cnulnpllad ff work for n mere,
