The above extraordinary article, as fir a.
It refers to US, will he found cdtoralIy in the
OyegcRiaH of late date. Having cut it
ont and laid it aside as curiosity, in over
looking our copy drawer it has just turnrd
up and as it would seem the Orgcaiar
man is anxious on The suljcct---haying tray-
cled some distance ont Of his usual beaten
path TO squirt lis skunk-watcr at US, we will
crafty him by giving it II passing notice.
II is quite evident to us that We have bcca
placed ia the category with our cotcmposa-
rics as above, by the Omgonian, for one of
three ohjec;s--( the last named being rather
result y First, as Il ferler Of some sort
perhaps to drag us into a personal contro-
ycrsy with the editor: Second, to have Us
0dreytiss that whilst, as he asserts, he is
slandcred, villilied, m.sreprcSen,cd, calumn.-
ated, &c, his paper has yet "He largest
circulation and mod crieHare p3trcngge of
any paper IN Tie i,oo Tcryitories !" or other
wise, it serves to prove what he complain,
the journals to which he refers accuse hun
viz that Of being "criay" Or fool"
The article is strongly in evidence against
DRYER's sanity and if those journals hav,
charged him of being crazy" he has fur
nished them with the best Of arguments for
the truth of the Allegation. He starts of
by referring to "tryo,' and then enumcr-
atcs fire newspapers as comprising it. Oh +!
what tryo" He accuses us of having
joined in all the various species Of abuse emu
merated, which he says the press Of Oregon
has been heaping upon him, week after week
whereas the fact is well kuown-he is aware
of it, if sane, and our files will bear us wit
ness that the charge is false;--that whcnev.
cr We may have had occasion to refer to him
or his paper, it has been done with more
courtesy than either he or it generally de-
serves.
If DRYER is sane, and his feelr intended
to draw us into personal quarrel, without
any principle at issue, he will succeed but
indiferently. Unless compelled by necessi-
ty to do othcrwise-uness driven from our
propricty by reckless and uacalled for as
saultS, We desire TO treat all our cotempora-
rcs with courtesy and kindness. We have
no desire TO cross the Columbia river for the
purpose Of meddling with DRYER's affairs,
or the affairs of Oregon, having quito enough
to attend to in that line at home hut should
he desire to enter into the discussion Of the
merits of any question in which the people
Of both Territories feel an interest, political
or otherwise, we are ready at any time to
meet him fairly. His complaint about abuse,
however, is all moonshine-he likes to be
abused, and in this we will not crafty him
at this time.
If on the other hand, DRYER wishes us to
adreriiSe for him, our readers have his own
declaration us to the " circulation and "pai-
rOnage" of his paper, without charge to him,
but we will not vouch for the truth Of the
statement or if he be "erasy,' us otherwise
might be justly inferred from the above
article, it is simply his own misfortune,
and the Oregon press is vindicatcd in its
accusation, if it has been so stated.
