erally conceded that Congress would not
pay, that we should inour nothing more
than was absolutely necessary.

cade mountains.

favor of a big State, nnd went for taking
in Utah if we couiJ get it.
Mr. Smith agreed with ho gonlleman
from Multnomah and Washington was in
favor of a largo State. The Willamette
valley was already full, nnd wo could not
expect to hold out nny great inducements to
immigration if the Stato should bo restrict
ed to the Cascado Range. Wo would
have no vacant lands out of which to so
Icct the 300,000 acres to which would bo
entitled upon our admission into the Un
ion, if the amendment should prevail.
Mr. Grover was opposed to tho amend
mcnt. He said that tho proposed line
would give us about 8000 squaro miles of
arable land, making us one of the smallest
Slates of the Union.
Mr. Meigs felt that although deserted by
his fi lends somo of whom had assured
him of their support of his amendment-
he ought as tho mover of the ntnondmcnt
to give his reasons. First, the Cascades
were a natural boundary a kind of bound
ary which political economists have agreed
ought to be observed.
Mr. Marple of Coos didn't know what
lo do wasn't sufficiently informed
wanted light was inclined to believe that
he would vote against the amendment.
In a military "pint" of viaw ho thought
it important that the eastern line of our

riso and report. Carried.

Mr. Grover took the floor, and displayed

within aaid distaact.
Mr. Lovejoy thought the amendment
unnecessary.

ment, and advocated it at length.

mont was In order.
Mr. Olney accepted the amendment.
Mr. Watkint moved a substitute to the
effect that if at any lime the majority of

it, that they might have the privilege of
forming a new State in conjunction with a
portion of tbe State of California.
The chairman decided the amendment
out of order.
Mr. Lovejoy opposed the amendment.
Mr. Smith withdrew his proposition.
The question recurring upon the amend
ment of Mr. Olney, Waymire was opposed
to all crippling of the Stato thought thai
we ought to be proud of the Willamolto
valley because gentleman from the North
and South were both trying to steal a part
of it.
Farrar was opposed to the substitute of
Mr. Olney, and argued against it at length.
Mr. Dsady of Douglas, favored tbe
amendment and thought that the concur
rent jurisdiction over the Columbia river
with Ihe Territory of Washington, which
it asserted, was proper and necessary.
Logan was opposed to giving concur,
rent jurisdiction to those States having a
common water boundary with us, and ar
gued at length against it.
Mr. Applegnte rose to tho point of order
that discussing the question of jurisdic
tion was foreign to the subject of bound
ary. The chair ruled against the point of
order.
Mr. Logan concluded his remarks when
Mr. Williams roso and offered on amend
ment. The discussion became very technical
and subtle, and the convention grew quite
impatient at the exposition which the learn
ed members of the convention gave of
iheir views.
On motion of Mr. Smith, thecomroitteo
rose reported progress and asked leave
to sit again.

ture legislature may at any time with
the consent of the people enact a prohibi
tory law.
Mr- Kelley moved to refer tho sntno lo
tho standing legislative committee.
Smith wished to refer it to the judiciary
committee. IIo said prohibitory laws hud
been repeatedly declared unconstitutional
because they were believed by eminent jud
ges to be infringements upon natural rights
he was therefore in favor of referring the
question to the committee best qualified to
decide this vexed question of constitutional
law.
Williams thought the passage of a pro
hibitory law entirely a matter of expedi
ency, nnd honco ho was in favor of refer
ring the question to tho legislative com
mittee.
Logan favored a reference to the judici
ary committee.
Smith replied to the gentleman from
Marion urging tho propriety of his mo
tion lo refer to tho judiciary committee.
The vote was taken and the petition was
so referred.

miltee of the wholo from the further con
sideration of the ni ticlo on boundaries, and
moved to recommit the same to the stand
ing committee on boundaries.
Farrar, Kelscy, and Marple opposed the
recommitment, nnd respectively offered
substitutes.
Dryer moved the call of the house.
Meigs of Wasco moved lo amend tho
motion to recommit by instructing the
committee to report the Cascade range as
the eastern boundary of the State. Nays
52, yeas 2 Meigs and Deady voted in the
affirmative.
The report was finally re-referred to the

to examine and report all the different prop
ositions w hich members had submitted.

ing of the article on the judiciary and to
refer the same lo the committee of the

free" before the word u white." lie
did not want to have It understood by im
plication that (here were whites here who
were not free. Neither black nor white
slavery yet existed in the country, and he
hoped never would.
Keltey opposed the amendment id if
slavery should exist here that we might
have some slaves as white as any member
of this convention and he wanted no
slave in the army with him.
Dryer responded that probably the gen
tleman from Denton was a fugitivo from
slavery.
Kelscy retorted that Dryer was a fugi
live probably, as he seemed lo feel so great
an interest in the getting of while slaves
into tho ranks of Ihe army.
Olney fuvored the amendment thought
wo ought not to Indicate by implication
that we had any other class of ci'izens
than free whites and as this roport pro
posed to exclude all otlior citizent except
those, it virtually implied that others than
free whiles might be citizens.
Messrs. Kelley and Deady fuvored the
amondmcnt.

prevailed.

posed by different members, but were all
lost,' and the report passed the committee

Mr. Logan replied to the gentlemen
from Marion and Clatsop that Ihe gen
tlemen had kindly informed us (hot they
had been engaged in perfecting a judiciary
system and the gentlemen seemed to be
sensitive in regard to amendments and
were not willing to have a single hair pull
ed out of the head of their bantling. He
intended, however, to do what ho could to
perfect l lie judiciary, nstwiihstnnJ.ng it
might detract a little from the merits of
the report of the judioiary committee
and he could not out of tenderness to the
committee permit such a lame a Hair as this
to pass without some attempt to correct it
Farrar was in favor of tho amendment
thought lhat municipal courts ought to be
courts of general jurisdiction nnd of rec
rd. The municipal courts of Boston and

Mr. Primm (of Jackson) wa the only
members who sailed uuder Whig colors
who were on ihn judiciary committee. He
said ihe report made was nH the one

mittee If n numerical majority here in

Lincoln's Speech. We publish this
week the speech of Hon. A. Lincoln of II
linois, delivered in the Stale House at
Springfield, in reply to that of Senator Dou
glas, on Ulah, Kansas, and the Dred Scott
decision. It is unnecessary to tell any one
from central Illinois who Abe Lincoln is,
and lo others we may say lhat if there is
any one in the Stale able locope wiih the
"little giant" of black democracy, he is
tbe man. Mr. Lincoln has served one term
in Congress, and last year in the Republi-
can national convention ran next lo Dayton
for the nomination on the ticket with Fre
mont. It is probable that he will succeed
Douglas in the U. S. Senate, should the
Republicans carry the Legislature next
year.
We agree in the main wiih Mr. Lincoln's
views, and ask for the speech an attentive
perusal, especially as it it a fair offset to
Douglas's speech published in the pro-
slaverv Metscncrer.
