Territory of Nebraska,

Mr. Douglas, Of Illinois, some days ago, introduced
inothe House Of Representatives, bill TO erect the
territory Of Nebraska The reader will be curious 10
know something Of this proposed new member of the
nation We have now four constituted territories, two
OF which, Iowa. and Florida are knocking at the door
OF the Union for admission at States Where can
Nebraska bel 1t viii convey orcble idea Of the vast
extent Of our country il the reader will consider that il
lies to The west of the State of Missouri adjoining that
State but having between it and the eastern slope O.
the Rocky Mountains, four hundred miles OF territory
We append a very satisfactory account Of the pro-
posed new Territory which we find in the report ofhe
Secretary Of War " ~" t'
The immediate valleys ofthe 6ead streams Of the Ar
kansas, the PLATTE and the yellow Stone Rivers have
much rich and valuable land The Platte or Nebraska,
being the central stream leading into from the great
Souh pass, would very properly furnish name TO the
territory, which propose suggesting to be erected into
territorial government in connection with and preli-
ninafy The extention in that direction, Of our milf
tary posts would cohfne the Nebraska Territory to
our undispued possessions on this side Of the Rocky
Mountains. lts boundary line would commence a: the
Emouth Of the Kansas and run up the Missouri river to
he mouth Of the Running water river, and would pur.
sue that stream TO- the head Of its northern branch, and
thence due west to the Wind river range and the nair
chain Of the Rocky Mountains 10 the head Of Kansas,
and following that stream TO the mouth Of the Pawnee
Fork would pass by the heads OF the Neosha and Os
age rivers again to the mouth Of The Kansas
The eastern section Of the region embraced by these
boundaries, from the Missouri river westward for two
Hundred and fifty miles, is of great agricultural beauty
and facilities thcky tmbered on numerous tributaries
of the Kansas Usage and Neosha rivers and in fertility
equal 10 the best land in Missouri. From the limit Of
his fertile portion, westward for the space Of 400 miles
the country is entirely covered with rich grasses which
improve in quantity and quality up to the snow Of the
mountains. s.,,....., ,..'.,,
The limits Of this territory include the extreme head
of navigation of the Arkansas, all the good lines Of
comimuhica ion with California, the road from our
frontier to the Mexican boundary and Santa Fe, and
also an excellent and more direct pass TO Oregon dis
covered by recent exploration about one hundred and
fifty miles southward fthe great South Pass
Although the number Of inhabitants engaged in sgri,
Eculture and other pursuits within those limits do not
afford the amount population at all adequate, at pres
ent to the formation OF full and complete territorial
government yet such incboe or preliminary organ,
zation might be now adopted would be necessary 10
extend the ronro and authority Of the general govern
men and to throw its protection around our emigrants
to Oregon in their passage through this country.

vote; but, looking at the advanced period of the
session, and the mprobability of getting bill of
such consequence through both Houses, the belief
is justified that the subject will not be resumed.
Much to the credit of the House of Representa-
tves Friday and Saturday last were given up to the
consideration of bills relating individual claims,
of which, with few exceptions, the House sue
ceeded in clearing its calendar. Had this duty to
our own citizens earlier occupied the attention of
the House, there woald have been certainty of
the Senate's ability to act upon this Of bills,
in addition to the many others Of more general
character which the House is prone to delay the
passing of until too late day in the session. We
hope much, however, for the claimants from the
habitual readiness consderateness, and assiduous-
ness of Senators in the performance Of their public
Duties

The municipal election took place in the city OF
WHEELING ton Monday last Heretofore party
politics have not been introduced into the elections
in that city, but in consequence of the prominent
part taken by several of the Locofoco oficeholders
during the late Presidential canvass, the Wings de-
termined to take the management of the city into
their own hands; and they have done so effec-
tually. On Monday last they made clean sweep,
eiecting their Mayor and epery member Of The

THE NATURALIZATION LAWS.

The New York Evening Post states that the
Commissioners appointed by the Senate of the
United States to look into the practice which pre-
walls in the naturalization of aliens, in the city
of New York, holding their sessions with closed
doors, and sending for persons and papers.
Commissioners are employed in the other chief
cities on the maritime border in making similar
inquiries.
We have no hope of the passage at this session
of Congress of any act for reform of the laws
regulating Naturalization. We believe, however,
that the investigation instituted by the Senate's
committee will elicit most valuable information such
as cannot fail to exercise a salutary influence on
the action of the next Congress upon the subject.

OREGON.

The letter of our Washington correspondent con-
veys the important intelligence that the House OF
Representatives of the United States has nearly con-
summated its work upon Oregon.
If men will pause upon the scheme, and see who
have favored that measure, and who have opposed
it, they will be struck with the dangerous spirit in
which the most important business of this nation is
conducted Age, experience, lofty views, and tried
patriotism, nothing in the scale against the young
zealot for popular applause, with his ad capfand,n,
outbreaks of patriotism, and his loud advocacy of the
extended rights of man. This is mournful state
Of the case, and amcntable specimen of republican
purify wretched comment upon the boosted vir-
tue of our institutions. Perpetuity seems to be
nothing compared with expansions and we are sell
ing the future of nation for expansion Of the pres
ent, instead Of making arrangements for extending
our time of existence, by maintaining our physical
and political integrity.-U. S.Gazetfe.
