0We decline publishing Mr.. Robertson's Sc
cond communication. When we offered him the
use of our columns. expected him to be above
scurriity and personality. In his last, he has so
far forgotten the respect that is due to his pro-
fession and our vacation, that we are compelled
10 decline any further discussion with HIM. He
has departed from the issue slavery" entirely
and his whole epistIe is TRADE of scUrrility and
personal alusion, and that too. couched in such
language that he is compelled to ask the printer
To correct his mis-spelIing. and reconstruct his
cross-legged sentences. We decline the whole.

A Public Spirited Ineiriduai.-A merchan,

considerable dimensions, md who aspires TO the
highest municipal honors, does advertise in or
subscribe TO his own city paper. Yet in less than

Camping Ground forthe California Emigrams.
Through the po,eness of Messrs. Scott, White

use Of the California Emigranls, until their de-

This is fine camping place-it is well wooded

an immense company. It is over so acres in di.

clement weather and high waters prevented the at
tendance of many, tAirty-sir were present, sufi-
cient number to transact business. A committee
was appointed to prepare place Of organization.
which committee met on last Tuesday, prepa red
and adopted a set of articles which will be pro-
posed for the adoption of the meeting, that will
be held to-day. These articles are in ;his W eek's

We believe 10 the policy of confining the num-
Der of members to one hundred, as fast as one
company is flied up, or being near so, it is the
duty of the committee to commence the organiza-
ton of another. Emigrants coming in every
day from other States and we think it the duty of
the committee to facilitate their departure. Many
of them, and mostly all, are entirely unacquainted
with the nature the enterprise they are about to
embark in spirit of hospitality. if nothing else,
should prompt our citizens TO tender all informa-
ton and render all assistance in getting them Or
