What Northern Oregon Wants.

Well, what does she want what will
she need and what require
She wants the assembling ofa convention
at some suitable point within the territory,
and that too, as early as practicable, to take
the necessary steps towards the creation Of
NEW TERRITORY, north of the Co.
lumbia. She wants as many families of this
years immigration as CAN, to join our set
dement's this fall. She wants steamers on
the Sound--steam mills, and all other kinds
Of machinery established throughout the ter
rilory-a distinct understanding among the
people, where the route across the Cascade
mountains is TO be located, and the prelimi-
nary measures relative 10 all these sui ljects
arranged satisfactorily to all, and as soon as
possible. These being measures, mostly, in
which the people Of northern Oregon are
alone interested, it does not become them TO
proeraslinale; and when her citizens shall
have witnessed the successful consummation
of these things
She will then NEED appropriations for the
construction and repair of roads--the estab-
lishment and support of common schools
attention from our heretofore neglectful
mother country, for the means of erecting
lighthouses and dry-dock--the establsh>
ment Of mail-routes and post-ofices--the
erection of a univisity, and innumerable 9TH
er objects, many of those enumerated being
now seriously a matter of NEED, which not
only present but future WAISTS docs and will
imperatively REQUIRE.
Northern Oregon, has not heretofore, nor
need she expect, so long as her territory is
incorporated with that south of the .Colum-
bia, the demonstration of any peculiar favor
or affection from either our federal officers or
the legislature We must become our own
masters, and control the affairs pertaining TO
own destiny So long as we are content TO

fcrment, so long will we be permitted to go
Though the motions" of our illustrious
predecessors, while at the feast, without a

exerted over you by the Willamette valley.

In doing which he reviewed his public services and
was particularly eloquent about Waterloo the details
