 Friend Rutherford, cannot close without re6larking, that, with all your zeal in behalf oi Gov. Yell, in calling the attention of your readers to his great Oregon display, you could only say, that it was .characteristic of the man." the meaning of which is, that you had too much taste to praise so miserable an abortion, and loo much love for the Gov. to censurc it. .Let me assure you that this criticism has given you much credit for can dor among your friends and readers in this quarter My remarks touching GoVs Tell, in connection with the L.
