But the important question TO which
W ould invito your particular attention at

by other individuals upon theirs, and

Property is the basis Of taxation, and
the public burdens should be equally dis

the merchant or manufacturer, thougl, his

NEW HAMPsHIRE-Thc annual State election in
New Hampshire takes place to- morrow, and the
electors have also to vote for four members of Con-
gross, in districts which the Legislature of last
sion rendered wonderfully accommodating to the
Democratic candidates, under the new Democratic
doctrine, as laid down by the Legislature and State
convention-that the elective influence of one
member of that party ought to be equal to that of
two Wings.
There are three candidates for Governor. MIR.
Sawyer, of Dover, the Wing candidate, is gen.
tleman well worthy Of the support Of every Wing
in the State, and we hope that he will receive it.
Governor Dinsmoor, the Democratic candidate, has
been popular magistrate, and takes the Union
side national politics. The Freesoil party offer
no candidate of their own, but have taken up the
discarded nominee of the Democrats, and appeal to
the Wings for some support, on account Of the
"persecution" which he has received from his own
party. Tho Wings had better take literally a creed
shaken by the wind,' for their candidate, than to
stoop to aid in the support of such contemplate,
two faced, weak minded, and cringing monde
script.
The excitement relating to Mr. Atwood and his
trials will be likely to bring out largo vote,
though It is not expected that any choice of Gov
ernor will be effected, for Mr.. Atwood will draw of
many Democratic votes, though he may not have
ten thousand in the State. The vote upon the new
State constitution, which contains some new and
curious provisions, will also be increased by the
terest which il taken in other matters.

The New York Commercial Adpriissr learns that
there has been considerable dissatisfaction in the
Territory OF Oregon, especially among the inhabi-
tants Of the villages relative to the provsions Of
the Oregon Land BILL Tho general construction
of it was that actual residence of four years on
the land, and cultivation during the same time, il
absolutely necessary to entite the claimant To de-
mand pstent-thus practically excluding the
residents Of towns from its benefits The Oregon
Spectator, however. says that Judge Thornton has
expressed the opinion that cultivation of any kind
constitutes occupation and that actual residence,
therefore, is not essential to persons possessing
and holding the lands.
The Spectator says that mechanics labor of all
kinds is very high in Oregon-wages varying from
five to twelve dollars day. 1t records the fol-
lowing incident, which shows that blacksmthing
is about profitable in Oregon the most sue

Franklin Little, of Washington City, d. c., and
Charles p. Ludwig, Of st. Joseph's county, Michi-
gan, have recently left Oregon for the States,
with over $l2, 900, made by fair hammering, in a
business together the Goth of February last with
but little capital; building their shop making their
tools, except anvil and vice, cutting wood, burning
coal, and boarded and lodged themselves. We are
informed by good authority that they made forty
two diamond ploughs from the bar, laid with steel
and finished complete in seven days, in the latter
part of November, commencing at sunrise, and
working no night after O'Clock, the ploughs
averaging thirty five pounds. This, at the GUS
tomary price, would be $l,470. Deduct for cost
