the most remote northwestern portion o.
the Union, the advance of civilization will
hencefort press from every portion of the
Confederacy upon the yet unsettled and
undeveloped regions lying between Ore

frontier State Of Minnesota, thus increas
ing It's population with much more rapid
Ity than at any former period Of its histo-
ry. Notwithstanding its high latitude. it
enjoys the advantage of having much
miider climate than corresponding locali-
ties on the Atlantic coast; and it posses
ses many fertile valleys which present
many tempting opportunities to agricuI-
turists. Doubtless there are many men
now living who will see this whole region
carved up into furnishing and prosper
Gus states. Although Oregon was first
settled number Of years ago, it has PIE
sented, as compared with the fertile re-
glons OF Iowa, Kansas. Wisconsin, Min
nesots, Illinois, and Texas, few advanta-
ges to counterbalance the difficulties of
thither; but during the last
four or five years it has shared in the
of the golden State of Calfor-
ma, aud thus increased its population
with much more rapidly than at any for
mer period of its history. Having in
California an advantageous market for its
productions, as well as for large quartz

And while Judge Paine will not probably

WHAT A PRESIDENT THE President
has withheld his signature from the bill
appropriating $4,000 for deepening the
channel of the st. Clair Flats. The veto
OF SO national a measure as the ST. Clair
Flats bill goes to show that the Free
States can expect neither Justice nor
rgnt from the Executive at Washington.
Buchanan has become mere serf of the
negro breeders. However, 1860 is not
tar distant. The President will squander
,s'e nations on the Paraguay Expedi
ton, of no USE either to the welfare or tho
hohor OF the nation, and yet refuses
single dollar for the natural highway for
the business of millions of his countrymen
