under the direction OF the Oregon Provisional EN-
igr,ting Society.
We learn also from the New York papers that an
expedition is about to start from that city for the
Oregon Territory, for The purpose of forming a
settlement. Among the emIgrants are several sccn-
tine persons IS stated to he the third exDedi-
ton which has gone to that remote region.
We note these early movements because they are
the pfehmlnaiies OF important results. After some
years we may expect to hear OF projected canal or
railroad through a gap OF the Rocky Mountains
connecting the head waters OF the Columbia with
those of the Missouri. Then will follow the or
gan'zaton Of a Company with steam ships to carry
on the trade with China and the East Indies from
the Fort OF Astoria, or some other on the Pacific
coast. 1t is known that the British government look
with an anxious eye on that territory, and would ain
deny our right to II.

The sending of this Large expedition TO Oregon
is an important event, whether considered IN its
religious political bearings. Among other
things 1t will expedite the settlement OF the Terrific
~ and we may hope also, that il " i'll give to
the moral and religious character of The people, re-
sembllng that olthe early settlers of Massachusetts,
An infant community IS easily moulded into shape
but suffer 1t TO grow without religious Influences
and any attempts at reformation are made under
great disadvantages. With all our heats we wish
success TO the mission, aud the noble objects which
. II is designed 10 promote. Its primary object we
believe, is TO carry The Gospel TO the Indians.
