The Detroit Advertiser preserves the fact
tina, on the last trip Of the Illinois from Lake Sa-
pcrior, she brought down quite a large quantity
of raspberry jam from Sugar Island. Twenty
tons OF the Jam will be manufactured there this
season. The berries are purchased from the In
dams, and the price OF the jam is, this year,
twenty cents per pound. Last year it sold at
twelve cents, but has advanced i'll consequence
ofthe high price of sugar.
Mr.. Robert c. Winthrop, in his speech before
the recent "whis" convention in Massachusetts
IA convention which wanted nothing but 4 par
ty behind it to render it imposing-paid the fol-
lowing tribute TO the candidates who now main
tain the old wing principles respecting slavery
extension which Mr. w has often stoutly assert
ed, but which now, in the hour OF trial, hr aban-
dons:-
For Mr.. Fremont l entertain nothing but
respect and esteem Our seas were next to
cac;t other during his brief term in the United
States senate, and was witness 10 his iatel
ligent aud faithful service Our homes in Wash
mg,on were within buseuit's throw of each
other tor much longer period, and can bear
the most cordial testimony to the attractions
and accomplishments of more than one beneath
his roof. Ills scientific attachments and expio
rations have reflected the highest credit on his
country us well as ON himselt-thoush do con-
fess that certain royal geographical medal
which was SO worthily bestowed upon him has
somewhat ominoaS ring in my ears just now,
in connection with the peculiar composition and
character Of that party OF which he is the cho
cal Accomplishments displayed in any other
sphere whatever than in running out the boun-
dairy lines OF political parties.
For the gentleman associated with COL Ere
mont as candidate for the vice presidency,
cannot restrain u still warmer expression of per
sonsl regard and friendship. have known him
MS mess-mate for four or tive years in success
sion We have consulted together and acted
together during many OF the most exciting
scenes of our congressional service. and if
ever differed from him on any occasion, it was
with Nh unfelsned distrnst 10 my own jnds-
n,en. We voted alike, l believe, on almost
every question relating to the compromises oil
1850, Including the question of the Ten Million
Texas Boundary bill; and am glad to perceive
that certain gentlemen, nota thousand miles oil,
have SO TAR relaxed their views as to find theni-
selves able to sustain the republican candidate
Tor the vice presidency in course OF proceed
ines in which they thought no condemnation OF
myself too severe. Gentlemen, / can truly say,
that il any mere personal attachments we're to
govern my course at the coming election, no
name has been presented TO the people which
would weigh more with me than thar OF my
friend, Wan. l.. Dayton, Vi New jersey"
