WASHINGTON CRY, March, 4, 1851.
Editors Pioneer and Demicrat:
Mr.. BUCHANAN has just completed his
inaugural address, and is now The President.
As 10 his administration, there seems to be
bat one opinion prevailing, and thar is, it
will be of the most conservative character,
and will have the effect Of restoring peace
and harmony throughout the nation.
No appropriation has been made for the
war debt, for the opposition to it has been
\ol the mbst overwhelming character, aItho'
olr-abte representative, Col. ANDRsoN,
has been indefatigaLle, and deserves the
confidence Of his constituents !; and after
viewing the difficulties he had to contend
with, it is a matter Of great surprise that
he was able to get anything done at all a
But the Black Republicans are amongst
the de(unc' and with the same exerllons
made here the next session, We may expect
different results.
The uutiring JoHN II. SCRANTON has
been the means Of getting an appropriation
for mail service on the Sound, which will
secure the placing OF a proper steamer upon
the same, the advantage Of which We ali
appreciate, and will acknowledge the obi,
gations due. him, for by his consistent
friendship TO the interests Of the Territory,
be has made many friends for us.
The Superintendency has been separated
from the Executive department, and merged
into that Of Oregon, and both Territories
made Que district. Col. NEsMrHs (of
0regon) name was sent in to the Senate
some weeks ago by President Pierce, for
the Oregon Superntendency, and after the
consolidation, his name was sent in last
night for the new Superintendency.
Lieut.. MULLEN leaves soon lOr Washing
ton Territory, to take charge Of the mill
tary road to Walaw walli. From his known
abilities as an officer, and the deep interest
he has always taken in the development of
Washington Territory, his appearance will
be hailed with pleasure.
Washington Territory is acquiring a
consequence in the public mind, and l ex-
pect ere long to see large emigration to
it.
TIE 4th Infantry are to be relieved, and
will march across the plains, aud the regi-
ment that relieves them will also take that
route-together constructing military
road, which is very important, as tie
Pacific rail road excitement is being some
what absorbed by the wagon road feeling.
What We want now is communication with
the States across the continent, aud We will
soon get population.
Respectfully, &c, G.
P.S. have just learned that Nesmith
was not confirmed by the Senate, and it is
