Oregon Territer,-No. 4.

This portion of the National Domain Is exciting
great interes, in the community as well on account
of the conflicting claims of the States and OF Eng
land to its sovereignty as the supposed value OF II
for agricultural and other purposes.
La regard to the better right to the country, no
one acquainted with laws Of title derived from dis
covery can possibly doubt that it Is ours. SPAN
discovered the coast lying between latitude AZ ~
and the mouth of The Columbia River, and named
it the Rio San Rogue. Ci,izess of the States, un-
der Capt Grey of Boston, were the hrst to enter
the ha1bor at its mouth and take its latitude and
under Lewis and Clark they were the first TO trace
it from its sources to the sea.
While all this was being done by Spain and the
United States. England was only following on the
track of the Spanish fleets, searching in vain tor
the chimera of a passage of the seq through our
continent and quarreing with Spain about her title
to the Island of Quad1a or Yancouver's Island,
founded as her titles usually are upon the erection
of few fishing and trading huts, solemnly piled
up undcr the protecting folds of the Unien Jack,
otter the country had been discovered and taken
possession Of by another power.
We have purchased of Spain her rights arising
from prior discovery and settlement Spain and
ourselves discovered the Columbia River and az
England has always advocated the doctrines that
prior discovery and settlement give undoubted
title, that the discovery of the mouth OF river
gave title TO the whole country wa,e'ed by IT, on
whst can she base any claim upon the Oregon err
ritory? It is ours, and will, l believe, continue
10 be.
The question of its value to the Union, as op-
posed TO the ex senses of war with England te
maintain our sovereignty over it, is one tina, every
citizen will decide for himself. Ii may, however,
be presumed from the past, that the descendants OF
Bri,ons on this side the waters love AID defend
their rights with sufficient spirit and success
The actual value of Oregon to the States is little
understood; and, if We may judge from the aPPar-
ent ignorance of the Press, that great instructor Of
the People, it is likely TO remain so. This IS un-
fortunate for two principal reasons; the one Oh
which is that many honest and thriving citizens
being influenced by extravagant eulogiums upon
the country, may be thus induced to leave their
homes and their happiness here for bitter dlsaP-
pointment and blasted expectations there.
The other reason alluded TO is that Government
cannot act Understandings this matter unless II
be correctly informed. Itmay be well for nations
10 war with each other for the establishment OF
great rishts-but the value of the rights commended
for should be well weighed against their cost before
any attempt is made to assert them. This mani
estly true principle will guide us in future remarks
upon Oregon Territory. We shall also address
ourselves to the advantage. and disadvantages of
emigration thither. l. j. r.

Farewell, New England thou land of my birth,
Where Oft have played in innocent mrth
Thou art dear to me as when roamed
Beside the still brook of my own "sweet home
When reclining beneath the woody shade,
How oft have gazed on the wild cascade,
Where the waters came foaning down the steep,
Then, whirling in eddies, flow smooth and deep
And oft have stated with childish fear
AS the deer bounded by the timid deer
That, reused by the huntsman's wnded horn.
Had broken the calm of the early MORN
With kindred and friends at the dead of night
I've sailed Ger thy lakes by the moons pale light
While with musical voices long they sung,
Till the shore with their echoes loudly rung.
have left thy loved hills abroad TO rove,
And have wandered far from the land / love,
Yet no spot on the earth like thee find,
Nor friends like those friends, so true and so kind.
My heart longs to that dear land once more,
And my feet long to press the wished for shore,
My eyes would behold those dear friends again,
But wide rolls between us, the raging main.
Must spend my days in foreign cline
Must pass, far from thee, my manhood's prime
Must vanly sigh for those friends, who stay
On their native hills, and far away9
If this be my lot, let me not complain
Let me rather strive, yon bright world, to gain;
There, may we all meet round the Heavenly thron
Where parting Of friends is ever unknown.
