Sound Country.
During he pas, " Elk no Ies' than seven
letters fem different paris OF the Atlantic
States have been exhibited to US, embody-
inc scores Of questions in regard to the
country, its character, climate. population
healthfulness, resources, roads, price OF
land, occupation of the people, their moral
and political proclivi:ies, and every con-
csivable thing. varying in form and as to
detail as do the minds and intentions OF
the respective interrogators. We have
been requested to answer these questions
and publish such replies. 1t is out Of the
question for any one by letter satisfactory
" to the intormer or the interrogation, to
make such answer. A direct yes or no, car
rice with it no information upon which
Judgment can be formed. Besides, very
many of these questions necessarily connect
themselves with ZACH Other, and attempt
ing to make separate answers defeats the
object of the inquiry, and too frequently is
not fair representation Of the answerer's
views.
We have endeavored, from time to time,
10 herald to the world the features and re-
sources of the Territory, in such way as
to afford a general and comprehensive
view, from which the reader abroad might
form his own opinion. We will not elec-
t;oncer for Washington Territory as place
for settlement. We will not adrise any
man to change his settlement: to cast his
lot among US. We will not encourage any
one to adopt our opinion Of the Territory
We are ready and willing to give our ex'
perience and to publish all truthful infor-
nation which will tsud to secure proper
opinion of our homes in short, such state
ments as we think can be safely relied
upon by our readers. But parties must be
responsible for their own conclusions and
acts. Besides, we want no grumblers
here, and we intend to be clear of any
charge that Statements of ours have de-
ceived or disappointed immigrants to this
Territory. Some Of that class have found
.heir way hither, making themselves mis-.
cradle, and in no way contributing to the
happiness o: others. Ishmaelites are moi
needed 10 q new country. They are mel.
sher useful nor ornamental. and though il
is some comfort to know they would curse
theis lot wherever it vas cast. yet they ar'
nevertheless q most unmitigated nuisance
We have no hesitation. however, in assert
