Our TsrriIOry.

Since The beginning Of the world, there
has alUsys beeD found those who were not
satisasd with their present condition in
Iiie. Nothing IN the wide world meets
their expectations. Consequently, we oc-
casionally meet with some such persons in
The spares population Of our young aud ris-
Jog Territory. To them We have this to
say: either put your hands to the plow
ana not look back, or leave eur midst -
We want no drOnes among u.s. Many Of
them hare came TO this coast simply with
The expectation Of quickly making for,
tune, without labor OF much industry, aud
when made 10 as quickly leave it. They
have pursued false dream, and now curse
Che fate that lured them on, with too much
shame, or not enough Of true ambition, to
grapple with the world and earn by honest
employment the due rewards Of WelLspent
time and exertion.
Why ibis lsthnrgy, when all about US
are offered such opportunities and induce
mental Our prairies and forests, with
acres upon acres yet unmarried by the ploW
and Ak, invite thousands to end homes.
Bot We most want men with families, who
expect 70 make a home for themselves aud
their children after them; and not those
Who viii stop for a day, then fy to place
they know not Of We want those who
are not afraid Of lies battle. We want
those who will clear and fence the fields;
SOW The grain, that SIMMER may bring
forth bOunteons barFests; build up home
steads and surround them with every con
venienee that taste and neatDess dictate;
plant school houses on every hillside and
churches in every valley; set out orchards;
tend the 6ocks and herds; GIL shops with
skillfnl workmen; erect mill on our streams;
construct steamboats, and craft that will
vhiien our waters with sails; dig the ore
from our mines; and bring into use and ac-
ton the almost inexhaustible resources Of
our country. Such ere the people we want.
We have few already, but not enough.
Look At their prosperity. Some Of them,
We know, crossed the dreary plains but a
few years ago, and arrived here nearly or
quito destitute Of Ife's necessities. Nov.
they have a competency and are indepond-
ent 9
No doubt the past has been as dark and
gloomy as ever the future viii be, YET the
Territory has steadily gained in most every
thing appertaining 70 It's welfare. The
population has gradually increased 10 mum
her, and the country in wealth aud import
ance Our towns are improving in growth
slowly, but surely; and our wild woods
and lands IS steadily succnmbing before
the hand Of The settler.
The plea that there is no money in the
country, that there Is no prospect Of there
being any, and consequently We are on the
verge ofdeslrueiion and ruin, is sheer hum
bug Il is true, that article is not as pIen-
y as in years gone BY. Then it was easily
made, and as easily parted with. Now il
Is gone. we.must end some other expedient
70 hIl its place We must produce and ex.
port more, il less in value; there must b,
more ofan exchange between our farmers
mechanics and merchants. Because an ar
ticle brings bot a low price, we should no
say there is no market at all and we vii
not produce anything, but rather have th,
more to dispose Of We do not mean tba
onF farmers and mechanics should 90 int,
wild speculations business beyont
their means-Or borrow money and pa,
large per cent, 50 that in the end, whel
the sheriff sells them out, they will b
found worse than at the beginniag-but t,
work within their means, and as the drop
ping Of uutefswiIl at last GIL the bucket. $,
s win hey soon end themselves in positio
and prosperity.
