Mr.. FORBES AND A VOTER.
Mr.. EDITOR:

Mr.. EDITOR:
Ny attention has heen called to a
communication in the Free Press. Of the
a6lh inst, hearing the 'sigHufure Of james
Forbes, and evidently written by SOMEONE
OF his H''xrA dcpenEcnb. BIr. F., his
umdnucnSiS, complains Of an article " hich
appeared in the Free Press, of the 10Th Of
October last, in which ;ailusiun is made 10
that individual. 1t is natural that Mr.. F.
should strive to alleviate the modification
of feeling whlck he suffers. in consequence
Of the rehuke given him hy the people, iaa;
Fall; and Il would be unjust, not to say
cruel, If he were deprived of any little
solace ihathis late publication may afford.
AnEous, however, to make the Gmcade
h0nOwJIe, it'any%ere due, | have review
ed the article of"A Voter" and find but
'lttlen that article, which justice requires
ne lorelract.
The infamous dffair 6f the pettrcoat in
1880, with which Mr.. F. was believed TO
be go ultimately connected, is passed over
unnoticed, in his adopted communication,
'oflhe 10th inst! Why did he dodge that
charge! 1t yves made direct. Could be
not say, yea or nay, to that! If lis f"lly
should again prompt him to appear in
print, let him respond!
Whether Mr. F. is in fast an"'irpram-
us, horse Jockey, and land-jobber," as
was alegee by "A Voter" we need not
now enquire. His manner Of life ard his
method Of accumulation, are notorious
His merits as politician and statesman,
are duly appreciated; and he now reaps
the deserved fruits of all his tolls and of
oil his preposterous and presumptuous am
bkioli!
One word as to "the Kelley purchase
To that "a Voter" made mere allusion,
not charge against MIR. F.; and thaNa1-
Iusion was made upon the authority Of a
report which was in circulation hong before
it reme to the ears of "A Voter" The
explanation furnished by Mr.. F. is endors-
ed Ivy the Messrs Kelpys themselves
fiji he satisfactory to Them, the public will
not feel agrieved. At any rate, "A Vo-
ter" is perfectly content that Mr., F. should
enjoy all the profits of the sPeculation.--
Speculation is mhis line oflite5 and, doubt
less, the Kelley purchase is entirely recon-
cilable with his views of justice between
man and man.

GARMGSGIGN

G-The elervpnss Of Loco'ocoisrn, so
much disturbed by the storm of the 9Th of
January, have not yet returned to quiet.
The destucuves seem determined upon
giving to the proceedings Of the Conven-
ton the appearance ofpopularity. Town
ship meetings htid here and there through
the;State, headed by few demagogues,
pass resolutions Of appreciation, long drawn
out, laud David Tod and his metallic
phase, and congratulate the Democracy
pom the harmony that prevails in the
ranks consequent upon the adoption of the
.Net0 Measures. But it will not work as
they desire. Occasionally an out.burst.uf
indignation from those who have honestly
acted with the democracy when Bank
Reform was the motto, and who are de-
termined to resist the disgracfful effort of
forcing them into the support Of measures
destructive to their interests, carries COR
sternation into their camp, and blights the
prospects ofthe sycophantic aspIrant. The
late TecuntatIon Of their candidate, on the
eve of the Convention; ;sng after deles ;tes
had been chosen to represent those who
believed tie "CIeveand letter" 10 contain
the views of David Tod in relation to the
/ Currency, is a trick too low to escape de-
lection. Had Eavid Ted hepn disposed to
act',ne part of an honest, high-minded po-
ticlan, whose rhRuge Of sentiment had
been the result.o( honest conviction-why
not procainit to the people in time for

Union Academy.

VVHE undersigned is permanently established
II as Teacher of Children and Youth, at Union
Academy, about three and a half miles west of
Fayettc. He is graduate, and has had nearly five
years. experience in teaching; more than three Of
which, he has spent in the house which he now
occupies; always giving special attention to the
best means of developing and .instructiDg the
youthful mind.
While this school is designed to furnish
thorough Classical and Mathematical course of in
struction, constant effort will be made to impart
. minute and accurate knowledge of the elemen-
taIy branches, such as Arithmetic, English, Latin
and Greek Grammars, and other studies prepara-
cory to liberal course-as experience has proved,
that while pursuing these the intellectual character
il mainly formed. Every pupil is required to
make a thorough and rigid analysis of each book
he proceeds; to state in his own words his view
Of the subject in hand, that his Misrepresentation
may be corrected, and thus to discipline ahd
strengthen his own mind.
Il will be the constant aim of the Instructor to
prepare his pupils for the practical duties of life,
not oaly by teaching them to thinktfor themselves
On all subjects, but by introducing frequent exer-
eises, drawn from the various business transac.
tions Of the world.
Young gentlemen wishing to qualify themselves
for teaching, will receive instruction With special
reference to that object.
The location of this Institution offers peculiar
advantages. Situated in most healthy neigh
borhood, removed from the corrupting influences OF
town, and village, and surrounded by highly re-
spectacle families, with whom board may be Oh.
tlined, this school must insure the moral, as
well as the intellectual advancement Of its pupils.
TERMS-For the elementary branches: Reading,
Writing, Arithmetic, English Grammar, Geo.
Qraphy, &c., per session, Of Eve and half
months 70 w
For the higher branches: including Latin,
Greek, French, the various branches of
Mathematics, &c, &c. 80 w
Boarding, including washing, fuel, and lights,
can be obtained at 81 rs to 81 80 per week.
: Two or three boarders would be received by the
Teacher. WM L. DAVIS.

LETTER
From PETER H. BURNETT.

FROM PETER II. BURNETT.
DR.. B. S. Long has also shown US letter
dated January 18th l845, from our old and
much esteemed friend Peter H. Burnett,
from which we make an extract
IL am well pleased with this country, and
am contenied and happy. Since have
been here (there being little call for my pro-
fessional services,) have been at hard work
improving my farm. have one of the best
claims in Oregon. The soil is most fertile,
about as good as the land in Missouri. Ii
is all prairie, lies most handsomely, is sur
rounded at the distance of miles with
tall mountain ridge covered with majestic
frs and cedars. haul my timber 2 miles,
and would rather do this than have any tim.
Der on my place, for the reason that place
in the middle Of Ole oil our small prairies, is
prove place with half the labor he can IN
Missouri. You can break prairie land with
two yoke of oxen, and many persons break
it with two good horses, using very ligh,
plough.
Farming is exceedingly profitable here.
You can raise any number OF cattle, horses,
sheep, and hogs. Pork is as good, and as
easily grown here as it is in Missouri. Pork
is $40, Beef Sc, cows $50, horses from $3C
40 $50: breeding sow is worth $40, pigs
S. each. The first year, il is expensive Inv
ing, but after the first year, you can make
your own provisions.
The country is improving rapidly in ev'
cry direction.
Of all the climates in the world, this il
certainly the most agreeable-no sudder
changes, no extremes. The coldes: wealth
er we have yet had this winter, was hare
frost. Turnips, cabbages, carrots and beet
stand out all winter and never freeze, bu
continue growing all the time. The prair
now is as green as wheat field, and W
feed nothing bu, our sows and pigs.
This is beyond dispute the first whea
country in the world, both as to the guam
tity and quality, Of the article.
For the sake OF your childrin especially, 20
ought to come here.
Bring some apple gratis: cut them off j
the winter, put them up 10 tin box al
tight, and then put tina, in wooden boz
and they will come safe. There are no goo
apples yet in this country"
