ing his speech the Doctor urged, as reason
for voting against the " Democratic" ticket,
that it was incxcusatle in men born and

whose property and associations were all

~ Our contemporary on the hill remindsu us
of the old lady who spoke out in meeting. lie
has time and again declared that he would not
be drawn into a controversy with us, but has
invariably broken the good resolution. 1t
will be remembered that the old lady, deeply
cngrosscd in her religious mcditatons, gave
uttcrance to her thoughts during the sermon,
in church. There! l declare" says she,
81 spoke right out in mcetin'!" "Why,"
she resumed, 81 keep on taikin'!' So it is
with our contemporary. We know he don't
intend to be drawn into controversy. but
nevertheless, he "kceps on talkin."
HOTEL CnANGEs.-LevS Shelton, Esq, has
leased the Washington Hotel, and promises
to keep, as he no doubt will, n irst-class es-
tablishmcnt. The building ard its location
are the best adapted for tho purpose Of any
in the place, and with proper attention, we
have no doubt it will hereafter be tho leading
hotel. We likewise observe that Mrs. Dow
is fitting up tho building formerly occupied
by Mr.. Kcllctt, Tor restaurant This will
undoubtedly DO popular resort to satisfy
the cravings of the inner man," as it was un-
der its former management.

and Phillips; Mr.. Fremont and the woolly .horsc-

All, indeed! Probably you have modified
your opinion of such "vasaries" since you
publicly boosted that you had assisted in set
ting at defiance the laws Of the United States
or in plain words, acted as assistant engineer
in running the Underground Railroad"

Rev. Henry w. Bellows was to have left San
Francisco on the 18th inst, for the purpose
of makinga tour through Oregon, and proba-
bly, this Territory The reverend gentleman
will meet with most cordial reception from
the citizens of the Sound, should he extend
his pilgrimage thus far.
~ Our "amiablc' friend of che p. Ir.
1unc says controversy with us would be
about as profitable as battle with pole-cat.
We have known persons to carry a scent as
the "profits" Of battle with the queer ami
NAL referred to. That would he surely "re-
muneratvc" enough for our ncighbor.
Our SrREErs.-We observe that much
greater Improvement is made on the streets
in the more business part Of town, than usual,
this year. Washington street, from Fourth
to Fifth. has been opened, aud put in excel
lent order. While many important improve
ments arc being made elsewhere.
