Two young gentlemen, Of the city Of Bos-
ton Of good morals and steady habits, being
DESTROYS of entering into the marriage state

new plan to obtain wives, and to make an

numbers will be drawn on the 18th Of Feb
ruary, lS43, by committee Of three ladies',
who are not interested in the drawing. The
two ladies holding the two cards having on
the first six numbers that are drawn out, the
gentlemen agree to marry; but if after an in
teryiew with each other, the ladies should
refuse to marry the gentlemen, the money
taken for the cards shall be equally divided
between the ladies and gentlemen. The
drawings will be published in the papers on
the 30th of February, in all the places where
the cards have deem sold The two ladies'
holding the two prize cards are requested to
address a letter to the gentlemen in Boston,
stating their names and places of residence,
so that the gentlemen can call upon them
The gentlemen are both young, and are
called very good looking their ages are 81
and p years. Ladies can obtain nlorma-
ton Of their characters of those who have

ced in the hands ladies only, and all things
will be done as stated above.

THE OREGON TERRITORY

The bill TO empower the President TO

tory has passed the Senate by small ma
joriiy-24to %. When the bill was first
introduced into the Senate we thought the
measure proper enough, but upon examin.
ing the subject litle we fear the terrific.
nv will rot be worth the trouble and cx.
pcnsc. The territory between the Rocky
Mountains and our territory is represented
to be almost impossible, barren sandy
soil, seven hundred miles in width and
where rain scarcely ever falls, and then
there are three ridges of mountains ex.
tending 10 the Pacific, and running nearly
parallel, which is stated BY gentleman
sent out by the State Department to en-
plore that country, 10 be totally impassa-
bic except III certain parts, where there
are gaps or depressions, to be reached on
ly by going some hundred miles out of the
direct course, and that part lying on the
sea course, a strip less than one hundred
miles in width, after we have obtained il,
for agricultural purposes, in Mr.. McDuf-
fc's opinion is not worth pinch of snuff.
Then add to the trouble the cost and en-
pcnso of keeping up military posts and 1t
would be a drain upon the Treasury worse

A LOCO FOCo STATE.

We give the following extract Of letter
from the Springfield correspondent Of the
ST. Louis Republican, to let our readers
hear TO what deplorabe condition State
may be reduced by bad management. H.
we believe, altogether, the Wings never
having the ascendancy, and we NAV well
imagine what would be our certain fate if
the same party should succeed in getting
the entire control of this State. But we
say Heaven protect us from such party:
"The Secretary Of State appeared within the
bar of the House, and read TO that body commu
nlcatlon from the Governor urging upon the Lee
gislature the immediate necessity Of action in re
gard 10 the finances Of the State. lie affirmed
that for the want of means, il was with the Ut
most difficulty that necessary supplies could be
procured tor the two branches Of the Legislature.
and when they were, IL was at the most exhorbi
taDt prices. Wood, which he stated could be
purchased for one dollar and seventy five cents
cash, tho State now had to pay three dollars and
half for candies, which Cor money could he
procured at thirty seven cents per pound, now
cost the State one dollar and other things in the
same proportion all arising from the fact that
there was nothing but auditors warrants to paw
them with. He also stated that il was with the
utmost difficulty that money enough could be
procured TO pay postage on letters addressed to
the Executive department and entreated that
some action might be had in regard TO the fnan.
ces Of the State at once"
