To The Editor ofihs Union:

TO The Editor Of the L mon:
What can be more gratifying to public servant
than the conscious knowledge that he possesses the
good wishes, and speaks the sentiments of his con-
stituents' Your position may not inaptly lie COM
pared to that Of the political delegate intrusted by
the people with the discharge of high moral and
national trusts. The course pursued by the "Unon''
in relation to party and nation in general meets
with the hearty approval ofthe of the democra-
cy; especially that in relation TO the advancement and
speedy adjudication of the greatest question of the
age-I mean that of Oregon! Go on in the same
path you have heretofore taken--yeld not single
inch; nor for moment stop to assert our right and
claim to the achoie Of Oregon as legitimatey and
solely the property of the United States government.
DO this, and the people will uphold you; do this,
that the coward and cringing spirits Of different
sphere may know that nee are fearless of conse-
quences, and are firmly determined to maintain the
honor and interest, the glory and right, of
tive land
That Oregon is 'not worth fighting about" is n
tale thousand times told; but that the American
people believe it, we are yet to be convinced The
territory of Oregon is the garden Of Eden" to the
western continent. II embraces every variety OF
climate, from the ''suow-topped mountain" TO the
mild everglades Of Florida. Nor is lis soil less va
riegated The fruitful valley Of the Willamette is
nowhere surpassed

WORLDS CONVENTION.

This singular convocaton of enthusiasts con-
tlnue their sessions by meeting this morning at
franklin Hall. Few in numbers, and not over
burthened by this worlds wealth, necessity COM
PEELED the change their daily appeals for the
necessary funds, through the Chairman of the
Finance Committee and Professor Coward, not
being sufficient TO defray the expenses of Clinton
Hall. With the protested object of union, and
peace, as the result of their deliberations, this as
sembly Is composed OF the most repusive and
discordant materials imaginable Each individual
has ptan,-a grand specific for the evils of
society, most of them essentially variant the one
from the other, and it is ludicrous in the extreme
to witness the gravity and earnestness with which
each advocates his peculiar theory. In their
warmth, they do not hesitate to tell the grey
headed old man who presides over their meetings
that he is an lmpracticable visionary, which he.
in turn, retorts by unscrupnlously throwing under
the table all resolutions that do not square with
his ideas OF proprlety and the progress of Reform
If this be the Worid's Convention, this world
must be smaller affair than people have general
ly supposed and if these men are the mighty
spirits who are to control the universe, it is ap
pretended that there will be general movement
toward Oregon. Plans have been presented for
making society perfect, and Fastening the advent
of universal peace and plenty, by Messrs Ryck-
man, Clinton Roosevelt, PEBBLES, Hay. Finch,
Robertson, Bovay, Moray, Evans. and by the
grand Regulator himself, Robert Owen. MANY
of these schemes contain propositions essentially
antagonistica, yet, from present appearances,
there is strong probability that, with one or two
exceptions, the entire number will be adopted -
There is, however, probability as strong, that
during the coming year, the world will progress
as usual, notwithstanding the patriotic efforts of
