Oregon.

Some few years since, Senator of the
United States, in speech, delivered in
Congress, drew so graphic and lovely
picture of Oregon, that it found its way in
to every journal in the Union--whig as
well as democrat. That Senator was
Thomas II. Benton, of Missouri, and here
is the enchanting picture:
Sin extentitis larger than the Atlantic
portion of the old Thirteen States; in eli.
mate, softer; in salubrity, superior; in fer
tiTtyI greater; in position better-because
fronting Asia, and washed by tranquil
sea. In allthese particulars, the western
slope OF our continent is far more happy
thar the eastern. In CONFORMATION, it is
ine4pfessibly fine and grand-a vast OBJ
long, square with natural boundaries, and
a single gateway into.the sea. The snow

east, an iron bound coast on the west, a

on the south. All:its rivers rising on the
segment OF vast circumference, run to
meet each other in the centre, and they
flow together into the ocean through a
gap In the mountain, where the, heat of
sunpmer and the colds of winter are never
felt and where southern and northern dis.
Eeases are equally unknown. This is the
val1e of,the Columbia--a country whose

together. perfectly satisfied that if you call upon the
Commissioner Of the Land Office 70 give the whole Of the

provisions of this bill will not exceed half dozen and

from examination of all the Details after he has classified
them can, in twenty hours, draw up bill that will

vast deal of trouble. Pass such law and instead
of taking two years. ought take months to COM
pete the whole And il would be infinitely better in my
opinion for all concerned Those which cannot be
brought under Of the classes will be open for the
action of Congress and in this way all necessity for the
ercise Of discretionary power will be avoided.
Il quite impossible that the Senator from Florida be
correct when he says that the description Of objections these
claims varied the If it So
il would be the strongest possible why this should
not be given TO board Of commissioners. The very qua
cation which the Senator has agreed put goes upon the
ground that there certain principles to be Observed and
that the may be classified Now better that we
should apply these principles than leave the dscre
tionay with the Commissioner of the Land Office the
board and after the claims arranged their classes there
will be no difficulty in my opinion, in revising them.
Acting under these Impressions for the bill
and do hope that it will yet be laid upon the table, in order
to give time and to whether accomplish our
object in much better form.
