mine, got year ahead oil the ttnes-(no pun IN.
tended,) take occasion to drop you line, Of
which you can make any use you think fit, be-
lievng with an old author that "to some end
the dulles, page may be applied" bu, es we do
not sgree upon the distinctions between meum
and tauna, unless you 60 for 'phe whole Of
Oregon" don't know that can give you any
thing that will be worth your attention, or that
OF your readers. many Of whom have had The
pleasure Of knowing in days gone by.
We have jus, had snow here which the ma
tives--if there can be in such hotch potch ss
We have in our city. such thing as "na,ive"
OF Washington-consider no, only the greatest
fall Of the season. but the mos. considerable ever
known in their recollection. It was Just IA
inches upon level which you. Of the west-10
years ago would have said. Of the "fsr vest
think "no,hing to speak on" But it brought
out the sleish.bells in great abundance. and it
was far from an unusual sight to see mustaehied
and whiskered dandy. with the reins Of pair
Of spanking bays in his hands. two fair ladies
behind him, and a segsr in his mouth sliding
along the Avenue in direct rivalry OF the Meg.
netc Telegraph. And, as they have learned. in
this Metropolitan city. that "lhe only true way
Of leng'hening mans days is to steal few
hours from the night" the jingle was kept up
until such old fashioned folks as myself just
wished, for quet's sake, that there would come
great mud! This is great city! Here every
thing goes by con.raries; for example. we see
daily the honorable MI. Packenham driving his
own servants, in an open barouche--the servant
sitting most consequentially in the carriage. and
Queen Vic's minister Plenipotentiary" showing
off his skill in opposition to the rsinmanship of
stable boy! Had room, think could
amuse you with the admirable mixture which pre-.
sents itself at every corner, more especially in
Pennsylvania Avenue. where daily, hourly, mo-
mentIy, all the women show off their graces.
even il they have but the single one Of snsg.
gled tooth. to the admiring gaze Of the thronging
multitude. But let all this pass-ths world is
but stage, and all Of Us are actors. He is
wise. and he only, who cares not groat how
much OF an ape or fool a human being makes OF
himself. His Creator may find some use for all
Of them. but should much dislike the task OF
making suitable dispensation Of all the bipeds
which see around me.
The "notice" is still under discussion in the
Senate. How it is to eventuate do not know.
and to say truth. do not much care. When say
do not scare" mean that am little troubled
about what The politicians may decide; the people
will fix it all right. and they go, as John Q. ADJ
ans says he goes. "lor the smalles, pebble in
the Oregon territory" We had quite fare up
in the Senate yesterday between some Of the
democratic Senators. 1t grew out Of a speech Of
Mr. Haywood. Of North Carolina--of whom. to
speak my mind frankly. regard as neither
"fowl. flesh. nor good red herring" The Hon.
Senator assumed-I say assumed. though he did
not do so in ,erms--to speak er cathedra Of the
intention Of the President 10 settle the Oregon
question, by compromise. At the 49th parallel OIL
latitude. Messrs. Allen and Hsnnegan-true
,Uestern Representatives-chatechis Mr.. H
closely, and flew perfectly off the handle in case
he. Mr. H.. had truly represented the Presidents
position. For my own part, although kno,r
nothing about il, and although there are some cir
cumstances, which would indicate the contrary
! think The Presiden, will stick up 10 81 deg
40 min. or this. however. IS you have seen
all that have seen. you can form, perhaps, q.
correct conclusion as myself. To morrow the
discussion again comes up. and as The Senators
have had three days holiday 10 compare notes,
their action will not be involved in so much mys
terry. The people. as far as | can Judge from
these ! see here, either on visits OF pleasure OF
Of business, ere "for Oregon"
Your dislric. has a most excellent represents.
tive hsrs-Gsn. Price. He commands the re.
spect OF every member whom have heard speak
Of him. and they are not few. His business
habits. feel confident, will prevent the slightest
inaltenton 10 the interests OF single constituent.
! speak this, knowingly, for happen to BE- so
situated. that have had an excellent opporlu.
nifty Of knowing with whe. zeal he attends to
every matter with which he 10 entrusted. even
by the most humble constituent. This much
justice. feel assured you will, upon my say SO,
be prepared to render to political opponent;
and. assure you, that il You were hsre-as
you must have democratic representstive-you
would agree with me that the interests OF your
district could not be better represented.
The papers give you the news, so you will
excuse me for this scrawl-if you knew how
