you, the two great parties have been busiy en-

lines having at last been drawn in the valley Of

! avail myself Of the sailing Of the Oregon to
send you few words. The fine weather spoke
of in my last did not hold out as long as ex.
pectedi few days ago we had a very hard storm
Of rain and wind, which did considerable damage
in our harbor, driving several vessels ashore and
sinking one or two storeships at the wharves.
The bark Aigoma was driven on shore on Goat
Island, where she now lies on her beam ends. A
great deal of the damage done TO the shipping
was caused by vessels not being properly moored
one vessel parted her ropes during the night and
running foul of q ship, carried away her bowsprit
and cutwater and the next day broke loose again,
and running foul of another vessel, carried away
her own mizzen.mast
There are about 300 vessels now lying in our
Bay, beside those at the wharyes; great many
Of them have not a single person on board to take
care of them, and when we have anything like
blow here some one or other of them is sure to
break loose and do considerable damage.
The setting IN OF the rain has caused quite
cessation Of business, and things are now very
dull here l am much astonished at the number
OF vessels that are now regularly trading between
this port and the countries lying in the Pacific
ing for China Manila, W-South- Wales the
Sandwich Islands and the Society Islands, besides
hundreds running regularly as packets between

HrR. FARwELL,s POSITION.

Some of the Free Democracy have evinced
heretofore, to the support of Mr..
Farwell for Governor, because he had not made
any recent pledges of devotion to the interest of
Freedom.
We are happy in being able to present the fol-
lowing full, frank, positive and explicit letter,
which Mr.. Farwell has written to Mr.. Durkee.
He has taken the full ground of the friends of
Freedom in the North, and these same principles
have been avowcd by wings and freesoilers all
over the State, and have not been abandoned, ex-
cept by the Hunker party at Madison, last month.
Every honest man, every independent citizen,
will rejoice in the manly and superior position
which Mr.. Farwell occupies, and give him with
pleasure their influence and their votes. The
hunkers, even, in this section, who are in favor
of banks, (and who is not y must vote for l.. j.
Fcrwei-for every body knows that Don Up
ham, and the whole bunker ticket are opposed to
banks, and will do what they can to defeat this
desirable measure. Let, then, every friend of
freedom, and every lover of the prosperity of his
State, see what each can do for the election of a
human Governor ofthe State of Wisconsin,
