the laws of the United States over tho

City March 2nd, 1849. I was among
the crowd that stood on the bank of the
Willamette at Oregon Oity and saw
Governor Lane step ashore from the
bateau that brought him up from Port
land and heard him receive the con
gratulations of his fellow , citizens. He
addressed the people that evening, but
I did not hear his speech . The next
day he issued his proclamation thus
fiving Oregon one day under President
