THE DODGE.
We have carefully studied the much yaunicd California
Message Of General Taylor, and the accompanying do
cumens published viz Mr.. Buchanans letter of nsruc-
tions of 9TH of October 1915 Mr.. VOORHEES, post
office agent and Mr. Claytons letter of instructions of the
Sd April 1919, tot Butler King, member of Congress and
The Rcgency's special agent the organization Of
State Government by California Gen. Taylor
from the responsibility of acting the Wmot Proviso and
thereby cheating and nccnsin his dupcs either North
South
Our impression is that exhibits the 'disgracefn
dodge record. On this point ask attention to the
long but interesting article from the Union The message
and documents far published far from sustaining
the assertion of tho Wing press, sgtd they by
Truman Smith, the great convicted fuctoim of the Re
gency and the official bidder and bbc of in Indiana
with the patronage of Government; they far from hewng
repeat, that the assertion is true, that Mr. poks
administration is responsible for the acts of General
Riley in patching up 4 State Government for California
On the contrary appears from Mr. Buchanan letter that
Mr. Polk did think of governments being formed,
til Congress gave California territorial government
is admitted by Gen Taylor that he advised the people of
California and New Mexico form Stale Constitutions and
that he would stand by lhemand that moreover he Sent
Butler King his agent and paid him out OF The secret
service money s. per day and all his expenses The sA Of
the whole matter is that Gen T. gives cgoby to the whole
subject fearing the issue of the Wilmot Proviso
The dodge will succeed and the South will
that the question be thus STAYED OIL Congress has right
to refuse a territorial government IL New Mexico 10
compel them live under the Mexican law, Ge-
neral Taylor advises, and To irGt until they ready
10 enter State, so allow Gen. Taylor and
his bosoncnd, Truman Smith, means of lodging their

astros i, will be inevitable if Gen. 1ayors dodge he
adopted, and the evil and trouble b. merely postponed.

To Bee CuIturiSts and Others.

K ELsEY's Alternating Bee Hive, patented AA May 9th, lS46. These Hives, the only ones of real value and utility to farmers and oth- CTS engaged in the culture of Bees now before the public, are constructed upon natural princi- ples, and combine the following advantages. The bees are easily hived in them: 1t never becomes necessary to kill of the swarms, and honey can at all times be taken away without disturbing the bees; the swarms are entirely pro- tected from robbery by neighboring bees, and from mice and insects; they can be handled with perfect safety, and always living and breeding in new honey combs, are kept entirely healthy, and young swarms are always fully developed; the eggs or embryo of the bee moth or miller, cannot hatch or mature around these hives, therefore the bees are entirely protected from the ravages of that destructive enemy, while the alternating principle is such that the bees are kept industrious the whole season though, by always having plenty of room to work in; old honey y-comb cannotaccumulate, nor will the bees ..run out'' or .die off, in these hives They have been fully tested by actual use by upwards of five thousand extensive bee cultur ists.
 This patent gained diploma from the Mary land State Agricultural Society held at Balti- more 10th, lth and l2th of October, lS49.
 Ample directions accompany each hive, giv- ing full instructions for the management of bees. They are sold very cheap; and all farmers and other persons who keep bees or wish to enter into that profitable culture, will find these hives all that can be desired.
 The subscriber, as attorney and agent for the patentee for the State of Arkansas, is now in Helena, and ready to grant individual rights, or to sell counties, townships or districts to parties desrous of engaging in lucrative and pleasant occupation.
 According to an interesting calculation by bee culturist, which is given in full in the trea- tise accompanying this hive, he proves how, in about ten years, any bee culturist may be worth nearly S38,O Q, simply by the sale of the honey, and swarms.
 The price of an individual right to make use oflhis patent hive is $5.
