Oregon.

The failure of the House Of Repre-
sentatives to act upon the bill for the
admission of Oregon, will be regretted
by every inhabitant of the Pacific coast,
as deeply as by the citizens of that
Territory themselves. 1t is quite
probable that the people of Oregon
will have to content themselves with
voteless delegate in Congress, and re-
main in Territorial leading strings 1u-
ring the existence Of the present ad-
ministration. The citizens Of Oregon
had declared their determination to-
come into the Union without slaNy,
and the Lecompton rule, as esxslisbed
by the English bill, is that such a silly
people shalrrur come in asshvssa pop
ulation sufficiessto entitle them to a
Representative IN Congress. Time
will maks:sI things even, and no such
disc,iFi6atiDg rule will be long tolera-
ted-Ey a free and intelligent people
but will be made universal, and the
people left free to govern themselves.
The people of Oregon had decided
at the ballot box to adopt aState gov
ernment. A convention was called
which formed constitution that was
adopted by the people. An election
was held for State officers and Mem
bers of Congress.
All of this labor has been lost. The
officers elect will retire to private life
A territorial council and Delegate to
Congress, must again be chosen. I'm
der the population rule, it is difficult y
foretell when Oregon will beaa"itted.
She has at present but >yt,0oC>mhabi-
tants- 90, oo4ihhabiiants are necessa-
ry undsx i6er~sent basis, and in 1861

ent population has doubtless been de-
creased by the Frazer.extitcwent, and
it is probable tlmt>as number of years
will transHre before'sfe will have the
necessary popufaRion to demand admis-
sion.
We can but condemn the failure Of
the House to admit Oregon. Her ap-
plication was made after mature delib>
Grafton, and every step was taken with
regularity and received the endorse
ment Of the people. Let the citizens
of that Territory Swatch, hope and
pray" Her failure to be admitted
will be felt by the citizens of California
as severely as by those OF Oregon.

RAILROAD MEASURES The following
interesting item We clip from Forneys
Press:
In the House of Representatives the Com
mittee on Public Lands reported, before adj
journment. two bills which, so far "a the Y
go. are calculated t. form the niatory links
in the great enterprise which is to connec,
the Atlantic seahoar1 with the Pacific coast
One bill authorizes the construction Of
railroad, extending from the eastern to the
western side of Nebraska, and grants, in aid
thereof, public lands to the distance Of six
miles upon both sides of the line of way.
The other bill, as reported, authorizes a
railway from Benicia to Shasta, in Califor-
MIA. with equal privileges and grants of
land. lf these two measures are passed in
TO laws, (and the feeling manifested in the
House was decidedly favorable.) they will
secure the completion Of n thousand miles of
the Pacific Railroad. We hope to see these
measures put upon their passage at the next
session.

AN ADMIRABLE SUGGESTION

The report of the late Board of Visitors at West
Point is justly regarded by the public as one Of the
is everywhere commended for the lucidity and power
with which it presents a picture Of the merits as
well as of the wants and requirements of our great
military school. The able and elaborate report of
the committee on instruction (of which Mr.. P. III.
Aylett, of Virginia, was the chairman) urges a
change in the method Of appointing the cadets,
which appeals to the good sense and sound judg-
ment Of every intelligent man. We republish this
part of the report this morning in order to fix atcn-
tion upon its suggestions.
