My views upon all of the great National is
sues, are well known--they need no repetition.
Those who know me, and are disposed to deal

citizen who does not think exactly with me
upon every subject. The Gazette" and its
humble Editor is sometimes designated "the
Organ of the Wing Party Of Berkeley"--he is
proud Of the station-and is still more proud
that the pipes "of the Organ" are attuned
chiefly to free and Independent thoughts and
actions upon all subjects.

the energy and industry with which he has
managed the Editorial department Of this jour

upon this subject of territorial controversy, and
has expressed them. The prospect ola peace
ful and amicable settlement of the question,
shows that he has not been far wrong in his
calculations and predictions.
