Settlement OF Oregon-HnH J. Kelley.
WASHINGTON, May IS, 1siS.
To the Editor of The Union:
DEAR SIR: Mr.. Hall J. Kelley, of Massachusetts, is a
gentleman of the highest responsibility and first order OF
talents and from the evidences he has his possession
as well those before committee in Congress,
am entirely satisfied that II manly owing TO his
vices and sacrifices that that great countryside Oregon
errtory-became object TO which the attention OF the
public mind has been directed and the vast importance OF
the country to the interests of the United States became
known.
In order TO devote his entire energies to the cause OF
Oregon civilization and settlement he reinqushed his
engagements and all salary consequent thereon, and de-
chned all employmenls offered to him.
The memorial states the facts OF this labor; and the
following quotation from the New England Magazine
Tor February, 1892, conducted by j. I. Buckingham
while 1t shows the opposition with which Mr. Kelley had
10 contend, gives proof of the value of his abors,
that enigma has been solved
On page 1913, it is said:
