LETTER III.
10 tIe Editor of lks Union:

To tie Editor Of The Union:
SfR;-l now come 10 the description Of that
portion Of Oregon, lying west Of the Cascade
embracing not only the Willamette
country, but ibe great valley, il it may be sol
called, bounded east by the Cascade mountains,
md west by the Pacific, and, including, fromj
lurih to south, the whole of our territory, ave
raging, from east TO west, l40 10 $50 miles. OIL
The north portion Of this district we know little
else satisfactorily, than that large sections are
heavily timbered, the soil being represented as
10 most places sandy, thin, and impregnated with
magnesiu; whilst there are said 10 be considera-
bile portions along the coast and near the base Of
the mountains of the choicest description of high
rolling prairies, beautifully clad with fine grass,
wild; red, and white clover, various herbage and
charming flowers. Yet the general aspect of the
country is hilly, rugged, and rather uninvting in
its features.
Iougm here TO say that the valley Of The Cow
erlilz, which river empties into the Columbia
some 40 miles from its mouth, is favorably rep
resented by the coonists planted there, and said
to produce well all the various crops peculiar to
the northern and middle states and the fact Of
The little colony Of about two hundred being ra-
pidly advancing and in fourishing state, is cor
toborative of this statement. During the last
year, Rev. ALVIN F. Walter, accompanied by two
or three other respectable gentlemen, and other
small exploring parties, have penetrated into the
northern and northeastern district of this c0un-
try, exploring the country east and west OF the
Cascade mountains; and al, unite in more favor
able representations of the country, both as tc
grazing and agricultural purposes. Several large
valleys and districts are not only we'll watered
tmbered. and grassed, but present an agreeable
uudulatng surface. Yet, ,on the whole, the weight
of testimony is against the larger portions of the
territory north of the Columbia, rs fit for agri
cultural purposes; but as a pastoral and manu-
facturing district, in view of the mildness of tht
climate, aud its excellent water privileges, con
ceve too much cannot be said in its favor.
reserve to show its immense commercial advan
lages, its hJrbors, its importance as mlnera
district in a future number.
The valley of the Columbia, though its sol
has been strengthened by rich aIluval deposit
is owing to annual inundation in the most unfa
vorabie season Of the year, unified for agrlcuIlu
raj purposes, excepting at Vancouver and feH
: other pfaCes, occasionally met with upon tn
: north and south side Of the river. The Villa
meie river, emptyng into the ColImba,94 mile
9 from its mouth, is estimated to be 800 miles i
length, with ship navigation from its entrance 70
: about 35 miles, OF lis valley we shall treat
some length in our next number.

The Montreal Pilot, in the course Of a para
graph on the aspects of the Oregon controversy,
thus speaks of the attitude and course ofthe A
mercan government
"Nothng has yet taken place TO prevent an
amicable termination of the controversy, and
notwithstanding all the abuse heaped on The A
merican government by ignorant or preiudiced
persons, it must be evident to all who have read
the able papers of Mr., Calhoun and Mr.. Bucha
nan, that they advance very strong claim to the
Oregon territory, and that by offering to divide
it, they have evinced any thing but desire lo
war;"
This, froma British print, is concession vel
worth the attention and imitation of such Amer
can presses as have sought to invaIdate our"ve
ry strong claim to Oregon.

01rConsiderable opposition appears to exist
in the democratic ranks in this state, in refer
snce to the proceedings of the late Convention
at Columbus, but we hope this will be of short
duration. Our government was brought into ex-
istence by compro nise-many great measures
are carried by compromise. Individual prefer
ences cannot always be gratiGed. DAVID TOP
has been fairly nominated-he has avowed him
self TO be "hard money" man. A large body
of democrats, who believe that well-regulated
banks are essential for the public interest, may
decline at first TO give him their support; but
Eventually we sincerely believe they will change
their determinations. Suppose ''soft-money'
man had been nominated, would it not be impos
sible 10 effect his election without the aid of the
I"hards?" Most unquestionably il would. There
fore, having said this much, we must add that we
regret to see the course pursued by the respec
table editor of the Wooster Standard He ha'
hauled down the name of Mr.. Tod from the heat
of his editorial column, comes out 6ercely a
