The first message Of Governor GROVER,
Of Oregon, is model Of brsvity and mod
esty. 1t refers to the easy and happy
transition from Territorial existence to that
Of a State sovereignty, casting back a
thought to the tune when the people were
but a handful. He gives a graphic dea-
criotion Of her resources and prospects:
aOregon is prbaLlY one Of the most at
tractive portions Of the North American
continent. 1t once beautiful and pictures

esls and most Of the other grains common
to the United States, a seaboard of some
three hundred miles, with numerous har-
bon and inexhaustable fisheries; arabic
land sufficient to supply three millions OF
souls with bread; grazipg land sufficient to
supply twice that number with meats;
probably no country better adapted tothe
production Of wool, flax, and hemp; and
It Is admitted that Oregon excels in her
growth Of fruit; her mountains are covered
With the finest of timber and underlaid
With gold, aud recent discoveries show
that We are not without 3 goodlY supply
of lime and coal; her streams afford some
ofthe best water privileges in the world,
and her rivers are navigsbls fer steamboats,
at all times Of the year. Oregon ought
and might be an extensive exporting coun-
try, (yet on the contrary, she imports ma,
nv articles that might be manufactured in
the country,) thereby increasing heI pros

then will Oregon become truly great"
The Governor regrets the tardy action
of Congress in relation to the war debt,
but anticipates good results from the iniu
ence Of the additional representation t.
which the State is entitled. He promises
to keep politics rs far removed from bi
official acts as possible, whilst acknowledg

With congratulations on "the happy an'
