manners, he entertained the hope that no
offense would ensue therefrom. If British

the Legislature, have determined to post
pone said Convention until the 9th day of
July next, in order that the Legislature Of
Oregon, which will convene on the 4th

pointing delegates to represent that State
in the Convention. The interests Of the
people of Oregon and Washington being
so inseparably linked together, we earnest

deem the matter Of a railrod to the Pacific
Of sufficient Importance TO induce il TO ap-
point such delegates as will attend the Con.

due TO the people Of Oregon, and to enable
that State TO appoint delegates who can
speak and act for its citizens in a legal and
