General Iane onI apivisioh "a

We make the following extracts from .
letter written by our delegate in congress
t6en. LAN&, dated Washington City
Dec. 81 1852" and published iri the Orc
gon City Statesman, Of February 10Th
BY which il viii be seen that The position o.
the General on the division question. is per.
fecIly agreeable with The views entertained
blythe people Of the territory Of I" colun
bia." The people of this part Of the coun,
try now have lheproud satisfaction of being
assured that the expression Ofithcir lsGnli'
mentS not only on the subject Of division
but on matters of local character, connect.
ed with the administration Of the affairs Of
our territory have met with favorable re-
sponSe, both in the legislature Of Oregon,
and the congress Of The United S!ates.--
Or delegates in both directions, have ac-
quilted themselves most honorably in the
discharge Of their respective. duties, and
nOrihernl Oregon is beginning 10 be known
and FELT both at home and abroad. A
division may not be secured al ibis session
of'congross indeed such q result would b.
in advance Of general anticipation; but it
is most confidently ehteTtained that the ncxl
congress viii promptly dispatch the work
commeueed by the present session. To toe
meantime We hope to bear Of the establish
ment and c0NTRAcF for mail route from
San Francisco to tho head Of Puget Sound,

ance and utility. But 10 The extracts:
- The House bill ofllast session making
an appropriation formilitary roads, $40 900
for road from Fort Siilacoom 10 Fora Walla

Rogue River Valley, has passed the Senate,

ID" The proposition'to divide the Territory,
is in The hands of the committee on Terri.
tories; fate uncertain. Oregon is too large
for one Territory OF State, and without al
least two STATES arc formed out Of it can
never be represented asthe great interests
Of that portion Of country are entitled 10 be.

MArrrNoNr. Marriage is tho rhotRcr Of
the world, and preserves kingdoms, and fills
cities and churches, and Heaven itself. An
unmarried man, like ny in the heart of an
apple, dwells in perpetual sweetness, but
dwells alone, and is confined and dies in
sinrularity. But marriage, like thG useful
bee, builds house and labors and unites
into societies and republics, and sends out
colonies, and feeds the world with delicacies,
and fScrcis many virtues, and promotes
the interests Of mankind, and is that stat
Of good things to which God hast designed

MAI. pERRY-FEnERAL OFFICE SEEKERS

This gentleman Editor of the Greenvile
Patriol writing from Columbia under date
Of l4th inst, on his way TO Washington
City, remarks My visit to Washington is
one Of friendship, and professional, not for
the purpose of seeking office, which might
be supposed, from the time the visit is made.
The disavowal | make, as my friend, Col.
Keitt, did. some years ago, when he called
on Mr.. Bancroft, Secretary Of the Navy he
endorsed on his card that he was "no appl.
cant for office" The Secretary Of the Navy
Immediately told Col Keitt that his endorse
ment was unnecessary, MS he saw from his
card that he was from South Carolina, and
that the South Carolnians were no Office
Seekers. hope my friends in Greenville
will entertain the same favorable opinion Of
the Senior Editor of the Patriot"
We wish that the dispensers Of federal
patronage, could say as much for South
Carolinians, at this time. But rumor says,
applicants for Office from this State, may be
counted not by units or tens, but by hun
dreds-" To such base uses, &C." We be.
gin to think that Maj. Perry was half right,
when he said, that in ten years (from 1851
South Carolina would be found to he the
most thorough going Federal and Union
State in the Confederacy, and he would be
again in small minority. but then he would
be battling for State Rights.

property was sold for 100000, for which
one person offered S225,000, and another
$500, 900; and it is further alleged that Al
derman Sturtevant demanded of certain
party $4,000, and that Alderman Bard re-

TIE New York Ti,ues, Il Free Soil pa-
per, is trying 10 find selfish motive for the
opposition Of Southern gentlemen to the
annexation Of Cuba. Aud accordingly it
attributes the opposition expressed to the
comparatively mild condition of slavery in
the Island. We quote:
1t is quite natural, therefore, that those
are : governed entirely by its bearing upon
slavery, should be unwilling to have State
added to the Union, in which the institution
exists in so modified form; while the op.
ponents of slavery may very well favor its
accession on account Of the influence it
would be likely TO exert upon the condition
of the slaves in the other Southern States.
1t is known, also, that many Of the infnen-
tial planters Of Cuba, are in favor Of gradual
emancipation Freedom TO every child
born of slave parents after given date,
and total emancipation to all who survive
twenty-five years" was the spirit Of toast
given a year or two since at dinner of
wealthy planters in Havana; and such is
believed, by MANY who are well informed, t"
be the view Of large portion of the Cubans
in whose hands at some future day will rest
the destiny of slavery in their native isle"
