The 32d State.

A bill has been introduced into Con-
gress, providing for the admission of Or
eson into the Union as a State; aud the
legislature of Oregon are taking the pre-
llmlnary steps for calling a convention to
form a Constitution. In the year 1856,
Oregon will probably be the ,hirsy.sec-
ond State of the Union. Its population
already exceeds forty thousand, and the
emigration to i. is likely to be very large
this year. Accounts fiom the territory
represent the people as prospering; valu-
liable gold mines and other minerals are
discovered. As a farming region it is
unsurpassed by any of the old States,
even rivaling in wealth its Southern
neighbor, California. In 1850, the pop
ulasion was only 1924. 1t is now
10000. In two years more il will con-
tain a sufficient number Of inhabitants,
doubtless, TO en!tle it TO admission as a
State.
