From oregon.
By the arrival Of the Falcon, we have Oregon
dates TO the 18th of May. We CLEAN the following
from the Spectator, published at Oregon City, a
well edited and handsomely printed sheet, which
would do credit 10 any section Of the Union:
An enterprising company have taken hold of the
beautiful town sits at the Cascades on the Colum-
bia. They have had il surveyed and laid out on
a large and liberal scale.
Col. King introduced a Joint resolution into the
assembly the 10Th May, to inquire into ''the pro-
preiy Of calling Convention for the purpose Of
framing State Constitution, preparatory TO admit.
ting this Territory as State into the Union.'
The following substitute was adopted:
Resolved, the Council concurring therein, That
our Delegate in Congress be requested to use his
influence TO have the organic law Of this Territory
so amended, that the Governor and Secretary may
be elected by the people,
{ On the 9Th Of May Gov. Lane sent in his mes
sage to the Legislative Assembly. The message
states that the past winter in Oregon has been an
unusually rainy one, by which milling operations
We're seriously impeded.
lhe Governor refers to his pursuit and capture
OF the Cayuse Indians, who were implicated in the
murder Of Dr. Whitman and family; also, to the
capture OF sixty seventy Of the deserters from
Colonel Loring's Rifle Regiment which has been
nearly broken up by desertions. The Cayuse and
other Indians charged with murder, are to be tried
by the Courts of the country The relations of the
Territory, generally, with the Indians are quite
amicable.
Governor Lane refers to the necessity of revising
and simplifying the laws Of the Territory, and states
that they have not been printed.
He announces that the Collector at Astoria has
received the sum Of S20600 to defray the expenses
Of the Legislature.
The message of Governor Lane dwells upon the
great results 10 the commerce Of the Territory from
the discovery, BY Capt. White of New York of the
South Channel Of the Columbia River, by which
vessels can enter il without difficulty or danger
In June, (utlmo,) the steamers We're to commence
running to Astoria.
The message concludes as follows
Having now finished the observations on this,
probably the last ocea sion shall have of commune
eating with YOU allow me to express the hope that
whatever errors | may have committed will be
attributed to no want OF zeal in that discharge of my
official duties, and that they may find corrective
IN the intelligence and patriotism Of the gentleman
who will succeed me. And in nv retirement
whatever may be my lot shall not cease to invoke
that Beneficent Being, to whose providence we are
so signally indebted for the general prosperity Of
the Territory, tor the continuance of His blessings
upon Oregon--upon you, and upon your constitu-
ents, from whom have received uniform kindness
and support in the discharge of my duties
