THE ADVANTAGES OF OREGON.
OF the mutual advantage which will result from the
admission of Oregon into the Union there cannot be the
slightest question. She is destined yet to be the New
England of the West She has plenty of water power,
lumber and fisheries, and should the gold discoveries Of
Fraser and Washington not draw off the emigration,
will be settled rapidly and before Washington. The
territorial extent of Oregon at present has of
$4,000 square miles, and bounded the north by
Washington Territory, east by the Rocky Mountains,
south by Utah and California and west by the Pacific
1t is $50 miles in length and $50 in width. 1t formerly
had the additional of Washington Territory, which
of it, amounting to 123, ,o22 square miles. The
State divided into portions-the upper
try, between the Blue and Rocky Mountains the middle
country, extending from the Blue to the Cascade Noun
tans and the lower country adjoining the ocean 1t has
large agricultural and mineral advantages, which have
yet developed and according to the message
Of the Governor last July, is well worthy Of being
State Of this Union. Hear what the Governor says
Oregon PROBABLY of the attractive portions of the
with healthy and sauSrcSs climate well adapted the pro

Surely this is a natterng picture.
-Four powerful pations have, at various times claimed
dominion Oregon-spain, Russia, Great Britain and
the United States; and that quietly in undis
puted possession wonder that the transition from
Territory State excites a lively interest According
to the rule of rapid progression Pacdcward, it may
many years before the New England of Pacific
empire will testify to the prophetic prediction of the New
YORK HERALD.
The question Of organizing the Territory of Oregon
State before the people Of that Territory for three
years. and in June 1857 it decided by large mao
