pared to take the lead in the enterprise Of get
ting up a Fair for Washington Territory next
year.
Our friends in Oregon have shown LIBERAL
ity worthy of all communication, by inviting
the citizens Of California and Washington to
compete with them for tho premiums, on an
equal footing We anticipate there will be a
finer show Of animals. especially horses, than
has ever before been witnessed on the Pacific
coast; and very likely equal to anything ever
seen in the States, as our climate aud grasses
are superior to any in the world for animal de-
velopment.
Those who attend the fair, will no doubt
be amply compensated for the loss Of few
weeks time, and the cost of the trip.
We have several copies Of the premium
list, constitution and rules, kindly furnished
us by Mr.. Francis, the President, which we
will BE- pleased to give such Of our farmers as
are interested in the movement.

An Appeal in Behalf Of the Orphan Asy'
lum Ct Vancouver.

lum ct vancouver.
The Bishop of Nesqually wishes to
inform all persons, who take any inter-
est in the welfare Of the orphans, that
the Sisters of Charity, at Vancouver,
have at present under their care no less
than fifty orphans, including both sexes,
of whom six only pay their board aud
clothing, the others. being destitute.
remain at their own charge, in the two
Asylums; that in order to prepare suit
able lodgings for those little ones, they
have expended several thousand dol
lars, and thereby incurred debts, which
they arc unable to pay. The Bishop,
knowing the good feeling 0f the reO-
pie at large for such institutions, has
thought It advisable to make an appeal
to their generous hearts, in order to re-
lieve the Sisters Of their present embar-
rassmsnt, and recommend aud requests,
therefore, q subscription to be made
in the country. What SUM soever well
disposed people ruay be inclined to sac
ritice for the aforesaid rn.ise-worthy
object, will be received with pleasure
and gratitude. The Bishop flatters
himself that this bis appeal will be we'll

will not fail to remind the inmates OF

Petitioning the President and Congress.

Petitioning the President and Congress.
We notice in the NortA.uest of the 23d
inst, memorial address to the President and
Congress, demonstrating against the removal
of the Custom House from Port Townsend,
and tho taking from our Land officers three
fourths Of their former salary; and asking for
the removal from Office of Victor Smith, who
is charged with having procured the passage
of the laws.
1t may appear on a fair investigation Of the
matter, that Mr. Smith has rendered himself
unworthy the confidence Of the Government,
and has been instrumental in procuring the
passage of laws that we do not hesitate to say
inAict a most grievous wrong upon tho citi-
liens of Port Townsend, and tho people Of
the whole Territory. We arc disposed. how
ever, to wait until time is given our delegate
to make the proper representations at Wash
ington, believing he will not fail to obtain
redress of our grievances, at least SO far as our
Land officers are concerned. 1t appears to
us that it will only be necessary to show that
there are comparatively no fees connected
with the Land officers in this Territory. to in
duce the Department to recommend such n
charge of the law, as will restore to these of.
ficers reasonable compensation for their SER
vices. 1t is very manifest that the laws were
passed without proper deliberation. Avow.
eddy the whole action of Congress, and the
accommodations of the Departments, have
been based upon the idea Of saving money to
the Treasury; and it is not reasonable to sup
pose that they would knowingly pass a law
that would sacrifice forty or fifty thousand
dollars, and yet they have unqucstionably
done this, in removing tho Custom House.
and in dismantling the Revenue Cutter 10
Lane.
While measures were being acted upon in
Congress affecting most injuriously the inter-
csts Of the people of Oregon and Washington,
we have not been able to learn that voice
was raised in either brancho Of Congress against
them. We prefer to believe that they were
passed without our Representatives knowl-
edge, ratler than that they were permitted to
become laws without remonstrance.

The BEAR AND THE KETTLE-There

where kettle was quietly boil ing upon
the fire, Fl He'd with meats. Bruin attrac.-
ed by the savory fumes, was proceedin z,
without further ceremony, to help him
self, when his nose was scalied aud his
eyes blinded BY the Kissing steam. En-
ragged by the supposed indiguity, he
siezed the kettle 10 mis- arms in order to
hug it to death. The hot metal only
burnt his breast whilst it resisted all his
force. This only increased his rage, and
he Rugged on for revenge until he was
burnt to death. The kettle renamed IN

The South is the kettle; the United
States Government is the bear.
The conservatives Of the rorth begin 10
cry aloud "drop that kettle" The bear
is too much ehragd to hear them. 10
fact he is fatally burnt already. This
next hug will finish him.
