OREGON 4 STATE.

The admission of Oregon into the Union as
a sovereign State, was consummated on Satur-
day, by the concurrence Of the House in the
Senate bill for thai purpose. A large majority
of the Republicans voted against her admission
on the ground that her population is not equal
to that Of Kansas, while the latter is excluded
from admission under the English bill until her
population shall amount to a number equal to
that required for the election of member of
the House of Representatives. Their opposi-
ton was also strengthened by the fact that The
constitution of Oregon excludes free negroes
from settlement within her boders. Seventeen
Republicans voted in favor Of her admission,
generally on the ground that her constitution,
although distastcful in some respects, was es-
sentially republican as required by the constitu-
ton of the United States, and therefore Con
grcss had no power to exclude her from par
ticipation in the rights and duties pertaining TO
sovereignty. The South Americans opposed
her admission on the ground that her constitu-
ton allowed unnaturaliztd citizens to vote
while some of the most ultra southern members
uilittu WIN NilC
cans in opposition, for what reason we haveye
to learn.
The vote in the House of Representatives
was If for admission to l03 against it, and
the yeas and nays were as follows:

The ruling of the Speaker prevented the
House getting vote ona proposition to amend
the bill so as to repeal the prohibition as to
population in the English Kansas bill of the
last session, or on any question connecting the
case of Kansas with that pending.
Oregon is now the thirtythird of the United
States. Her government is already in opera
ton, and her Senators, Joseph Lane and Della
zon Smith, and Representative, Mr.. Grover,
elected and occupying their respective seats in
the Senate and the House, while Kansas with a
much larger population is compelled to await
the PERIOD happily not far distant, when her
population shall have nearly doubted before she
can occupy similar position.
