LAND CLAIMS, Town SITES, &c.-In all
other column will be found the decision of
the Commissioner of the General Land
Office, John Wilson, Esq, and sustained by
the Secretary of the Interior, respecting
town sites, as connected with the Oregon
Land Law This decision has given rise to
considerable discussion, speculation and un-
easiness, on the part of town proprietors
and lot claimantsin both Oregon and Wash
ington territories, and which, it will be per-
ceyed entirely reverscs the decision of the
Surveyor General, who decided in favor of
their various claims.
The particular case under consideration
was the Portland claim, but the decision
is a general one, and applies to all town
claims in the two territories
The decision is predicated on the ground
that the donation law did not authorize the
selection of the sites of settled towns I'M
der it and that under the law of May 23d,
1874, (Which will be found in the 5th vol
ume of the United States Statutes at
large no person is permitted to settle up
on public lands, except for purposes of ag-
riculture, and that all town sites belong to
the town or city, TO be by them taken pos
session of for their behalf and control
And where no city, village, or town organ
ization has taken place, the town claim is
taken possession Of, and held in trust for
the future town, by the county authorities
in which the site lies. That the donation
laws for Oregon grant no lands except for
agriculture. That all town sites there and
in this territory, are subject to the laws
of lS4l and ls44, and that the purpose Of
the Oregon donation laws was to give men
farms and homes, and not towns and cities
This decision will entirely change the
heretofore settled policy of town proprie-
tors, and require at the hands of property
holders in cities and towns different mode
of otaining titles yet it is not reasonable
to suppose, that purchasers, in any event,
will be required to pay twice for the same
property.
, 1854-06-24

well as from another cause well known III
this latitude, fears are entertained in the
sparse settlements and new town sites on
the Sound, that the northern red skins will
return in greater force, prepared for de
tailed and indiscriminate massacre along
the frontier settlements.
The two canoes that entered Bcllingham
Bay, contained each about fifty athletic
and well armed warriers, and it is said the
tribe TO which they belong, (Which is To-
Gated in the Russian territory, and in the
neighborhoOd of Fl Sitka, can, at short
notice, muster from to 5000 able bodied
men-enOugh, in the absence Of any kind
of defences, to Overrun aTd lay waste our
territory from one end to the other.
If the government of the United States
considers the commercial interests Of this re-
gion Of country of sufficient Importance to
form a collection district and appoint u col
lector Of customs for the same, we think il
would be very prudent and judicious that
the officer so appointed should be provided
with revenue cutter, by which prompt
enforcement Of the revenue laws may be Sc
cured, and our borders protected from In
dian aggression, or foreign cncroachmcnts
and usurpations.
And if our government considers tht
lives of American citizens in this territory
worth protecting or looking after, it might
not be improper to add small reinforce
ment to the almighty thirty or forty priratel
who are expected to defend about two hun
dred miles of what may be called sea coast
against the hostilities Of British and Rus
sian Indians, "and the balance Of man

ELECTION IN OREeoN--In Washington

1t appears the democrats there succeeded
in defeating themselves.
In Clackimas, the democratic ticket was
elected with the exception of one commits.
sioner. Yamhill appears to be pretty well
divided, and Marion has elected q full dem
ocratic ticket with the exception of sheriff.
Lane county is reported to have elected one
democrat and one whig to the House.
The same result is reported in Benton
county. Nathaniel 0lney, has been elected
to the House from Wasco county.
On the question of State Convention,
Washington, Clackimus Marion and Was
co have gone against it by large majori-
ties. 1t is thought the result Of the late
election will show that the people are deci-
dedly opposed to the immediate formation

B5~ The free and Independent colonists
on Vancouver's Island need not suppose
that because the proceedings of public
meeting held by them, with an accompany
ing address to the residents of the Island,
have not yet made their appearance in the
Pioneer and Democrat, that we design to
withhold them from the public ad infnitHm.
In acknowledging the receipt of the docu-
ments from our friends Of the Island, we
observed, it will be remembered that the
publication Of the laws would probably
require us to defer giving the resolutions,
&C., publicity, until we could command a
larger space to devote to matters, other
than of peculiar character. Since that
time a rolHme Of communications have been
increasing on our hands, all Of which have
been filed away in the order in which they
have been received, for "more convenient
season" The resolutions, &C., being the
first on. the list, will receive the first
attention. We understand that Gov. Doug
lass has lately denounced the resolutions as
"seditious," and that their object was to
induce the community to resist the law"
This is entirely untrue. The resolutions
simply set forth grievances, from which they
respectfully ask the settlers to be relieved.
And it appears that Gov. Douglass consid-
ers it seditiOus TO complain. So did the Brit
ish crown and ministry regard the prayers,
petitions and remonstrances Of their once
Atlantic colonies, the consequences attend
ing which Gov, Douglass should reflect up
on at this particular crisis.

BGr The editor of the Oregon Statesman
who has been spending some months in the
eastern cities, in letter dated, Washing
ton City, April 10Th, and published in the
Statesman Of June 9th, discourses as fol-
lows, with regard to an important land bill
which Gen. LANE has introduced into Con-
gress, and which he is confident will become
d law:
" 1t provides that donations hereafter
shall not include town sites, but only lands
for agricultural purposes, in accordance
with the recent decision Of the Commission
or Of the General Land Office. The time
Of occupancy. before purchase Of lands can
be made at the government price, is redu-
ced from two years to one. The prohibit
ton Of sale of lands, before patent is OBJ
tanned, is removed, and claims can be sold,
in whole or in part, hereafter, the buyer
stepping into the shoes" of the seller,
and receiving the benefit Of bis residence.
The presumption laws are extended over the
territories Of Oregon and Washington
Two townships of land are given to both
territories for the erection and endowment
Of Universities. Orphans in both terrific
ries are provided for The land laws are
extended over Washington Territory, and
provision is made for the appointment Of n
Register and Receiver for such territory"
