Oregon Anniversary.
The flOth anniversary of the Provis

Old Chauipoeg on May 2, 1843, was cel
ebrated at that point on Saturday, May
2, in grand style, with a regular program
of muaic, singing and speaking, and a
ball in the evening by tbe F. X. Mat-
thieu Native Sons. Kx-Governor T. T.
Geer was president of the day, and
several other good speakers lent their
eloquence on the occasion.
At a meeting in March, 1843, a com
mittee ofl'2 was appointed to "consider
measures for the oivil and military pro
tection of this colony." Tbis committee
reortcd, at a second meeting of all the
settlers, held at (Jbampeog, May 2d,
184:!, in favor of a Dolitical organization,
to continue in force until the United
States should establish a territorial gov
ernment. The ubjcta of Great Britain
could not acquie'ce In such action, as it
would have amounted to renunciation of
their allegiance to Great Britain and
consent to the Aoiercian claim of sov
ereignty. When the motion was put
there was a division on National lines.
The chairman was unable to decide
which party had the majority. Then
Joseph U. Meek exclaimed : -'Who's for
a dtvltle All lor ine report ol tbe com
mittee and an organization, follow me!"
The ell'eet was electrical.. The men on
either side fell into their places to be
counted. The aj ea were lifty-two; the
noes were fifty. The provisional govern
ment was then tormea.
