Messrs Albert +. Davidson, Holiday,
Hsckleman and Eikenberry have just re-
turned from Oregon. They have been
nearly four months on their return trip.
The two former paid us visit on Mon.
day last and gave much valuable informa-
ton. Mr. Davidson exhibited map of
the whole route, Oh which is dotted all
the noted places, together with the exsc,
locality of all the prominent settlers, who
have made or bought claims in that far off
region. He also showed Us about one
hundred specimens of the vegetable pro.
duc,ons Of Oregon. Among these were
flowers, fruits. flax, grasses, moss and
wheat. The latter had a very large, clean,
plump kernel tina, can hardly be bea, in
any country. We never saw handsomer
wheat any where. One species of grass
heads out something like oats, and Mr. ID.
says is fully as nuiricous for horses and
cattle. He also exhibited various speci.
mems Of the mineral productions of Ore
gon, together with some salt from one of
the natural sal, lakes.
There is very little money in the coun-
try. Two of the young men who went
from this place are mauing rails, says

Suppose they make 200 per day each.--
They take their pay in horses and cattle.
Horses are from 100 to 200 dollars a
head; oxen 100 dollars yoke. How
much more are they making in Oregon a,
this rate than they could make in Iowa!
As Mr. DAVIDSON has kept journal and
is well qualified TO give all necessary in
formation, having travelled all over the
Willamette Valley, he will at the request
of several Of our citizens deliver a gratu-
iioos Lecture on the physical features and
productions Of Oregon, with other inter

We have obtained nothing more def.

contained in our last. The Secretary OF

make such other provisions as they may
think will secure the ascendency of the

all this with the expectation of moulding
the people to their wishes. But as the
people themselves will have something to
say in the bargain of being sold on. to the
support of self-appointed demagogues, and
as they will be wary of approving of
these caucus baked candidates, choosing
rather to make The dough and bake for

vass the Votes. We shall hardly have
knowledge Of the whole official result
before that time. The vote is so very
close. that some still entertain doubts
about the adoption Of the Constitution
We presume there may be some counties
from which no official returns will be
made. This has been the case before. If
carried we don, look upon the Cons,itu
ton as having been legally adopted at any
rate, as The law required most perempto-
rily that The votes for and against it should
be by ballot. 1t is VIGOROUSLY the fact
that many whole counties voted Uiua
voce, without the show of ballot, TO say
nothing of various townships that did the
same throughout the Territory. This of
itself is sufficient to viliate the legality of
the election, whichever way it may have
gone. AS, however, there is no way pro.
vided that we know Of for contesting the
election, we presume if there had been
a universal disregard of the law it would
have been all the same and Of no conse-
quence. The people must abide the re-
suit, whether secured legally or illegally.

Of the montling flush of thy rounded cheek,
For it ever was meat and drink to me.
And now, as the twilight steals apacc,
And the streets are free from the suns

To thy easement blest the path I trace
And pray for heart felt welcome there.

And know that the love Of thy heart is mine
For thy bosom sweNS at my burning kiss.
Then list, sweet one, TO the song sing:
I'm pausing now at thy window sill,
My spirit hath folded its weary wing,
With her bursting strains thine ear to fill.
There's drca my shadow on thine eye,
Thou heedest me no., my slumboring fair.
Yelled in net, can see thee lie

When tie JOYOUS smiles of thy lips awake:
Bat who Will watch DER thee, the whole night

With a fear lest thy blssful sleep should
break
Who will all food and wine refuse,
And wait till the stars come out on high
To drink from thy lips the honeyed dews,
And feast on thy cheek, where rose-eaves lie?
Why should the hearts best wealth expand
To perish unheoded' Alas, It's hard;-
Caught in net by some envious hand,
Why art thou still from my love debarredl
And | that have sued thro' the weary night
For the boon that | seek, must vainly pine;
And fly to the shades at the morning light,
Painting to feast on those lips OF thine.

A wall comes up from the Democracy

OF which they complain had been brought
upon themselves by their own acts
They suffered themselves to be deceived
by their leaders into the belief that Polk.
Dallas and Texas, were all for the Tariff,
and tina, Polk was as good Tariff man
as Mr. Clay. The Wing presses and
wing Orators gave them fair warning of
the deception. They considered these
warnings as "Whig lies" voted for Polk,
Dallas and Texas, and are now mourning
over their folly. They have bought their
learning dearly enough. Instead OF ap-
plaudlng they now execrate the names Of
Polk and Dallas. The latter in various
Democratic counties, where he received
his heaviest majorities. they have hung in
efigy. The cry Of Repeal. Repeal, has
been sounded aud is now echoing and
ringing around every forge and through
