We hope that Congress will! now consid.
er tie necessity of extending the protection
ofa territorial government over Orcgon.--
Quite large number of the inhabitants Of
Oregon emigrated from Northwest Ohio, and
the recent news has excited among their
friends and relatives here the livelest sym.
patby. They feel, in common with the whole
west that the delay of Congress TO act OH
this subject has zen IN the highest degree

now the fatal consequences OF that delay
are manifest, speedy relief WILDE provided,
and Americans by thousands not hereafter
have 10 seek that aid from foreign agency
which they are entitled 10 from their own
Government t'"
OF the causes of delay the Olio States
man treats as follows: az
During the past session of Congress, abiIl
for this purpose and for forming a territorial
Government, was introduced into the lower
House, and finally passed that body near lie
close of the session, and vas sent TO the SEN
ate. Its fate there is matter of history, and
il forms as deep and black stain as ever dis.
graced the pages of a Congressional Journal.
On the 3D. of March, the bill was before the
Senate, and in short time would have pass
ed into law, when it was laid on the table,
every federal Senator bu, two voting therefor,
under the false plea that it was TOO late TO
pass it. a eai
The effect Of this disrcbutab1e proceeding
is seen in the horrible news brought by Ma
jor Meeks. Knowing that the emigrants in
Oregon were, by the neglect of Congress 10
pass laws for their protection thrown beyond
the rae Of protection by their government,
the Indians have formed league 10 drive
back the white men, and to rc-possess them
selves OF the vast prairies beyond the Rocky
Mountains. Already the tomahawk is doing
its work-already the blood of men, women
and children have redeemed IFS keen edge,
and hone can tell what other deeds of savage
barbarity have been committed, since the de-
parture OF the messenger, who brought the
sad tidings. a5 t. c7.is
Ohio has lost many other best citizens by
emigration to Oregon. The friends they
have left behind them, will be in suspense
as 10 their fate knowing not il they still be iv-
ing, or whether they to-, have fallen victims
to savage barbafity. sieia
Had the so called Oregon bill passed m
the Sd Of March, l947, when it was defeat
ed by the reckless and dsgraceful conduct
Of whiggery, these murders ,sould neper hare
been committed! Had it not acted this disre-
putable part, the Presbyterian Missionary
