prefer the qualification of their own personal ami
mosites to the cause of truth and of the interests
OF the party to which they profess belong are la
boring assiduously to impress the public mind with
the Belief that the chief offices of the state at the
coming election, were made matters of bargain and
e by the members OF the legislature at the last
session, and were traded off and apportioned among
themselves. We believe there has never been a
session of the legislature, but passed some bill, upon
which it was claimed the members had all sold them
selves for office or something else. This winter, it
the bill providing for the publication of the re-
vsed statutes upon which members vcniured their
hopes Of prelerment The charge is, that we have
sold all the Offices of the state, a consideration
for the job Of printing the statutes. We are in doubt
whether it is worth while to dignity with denial as
sertions ridiculous. We will, however, that these
individuals may be without excuse for persistence in
falsehood, say, and challenge denial or proof to
the contrary, that during our sojourn at Madison
the past winter not an individual, either member of
the legislature private citizen, solicited our aid
either direct or indirectly for any state office what
ever; nor there any thing said to us by us to
any person about any office aside from those public
conversations in which we with others may have
taken part; and at this present time we just as
ignorant who are aspirants for state Offices as
are those citizens who never saw Madison. So
much for our own connection with the bargain and
sale of the state Offices What the dominant party
known peculiarly as the dcmocrac may have done,
we, of course, cannot speak confidently We will
however, venture the opinion, that not particle of
PROOF eau be found to show that the state offices
were ever matter of caucus or discussion or consi
deraoIt in any shape whatever, aside from the or
binary public conversations of individuals It is a
matter that does not very deeply, but we
of opinion that those editors Who seek to nj a.
Ign and njure their own party because their ind-
vldual interests have not been consulted will reap
great harvest of reward or profit fol themselves.

Bound was run into by the schooner Windsor on
Wednesday night, near Sleeping Bear; and the

u The weather this month has been unusual
ly disagreeabIe. We should expect, from the adj
vanced state Of the season, that we might doff our
winter habiIaments, but the contrary has been the
case, for VIC notice passers by muffled up in their
furs and cIdals, if winter was yet the reigning
monarch. While we write Thursday a. m.) ii
is hailing quite brisk
1t is predicted by some that the weather as it is
will be highly beneficial to fruit But we notice
that fruit trees in the east have been much DANA
