"It tho Oregon bill was first considered In
tbo Senate, In Commltteo of tho Wbolo, on
,tho JStb,audr. lengthened discussion ensued.
'Mr. Mnon, of Virginia, professed to know
very Jittlc about tbo distant Territory, and
was Ignorant, ho said, whether Oregon pos
sessed sufficient population, or could afford
to pay tho charges of a State government.
' Mr. Douglas replied that, to judge by tho
votes given on tho State Constitution, there
should bo souio aeventy or eighty thousand
Inhabitants there. Mr. Douglas did not
doubt that Oregon had a population of ten
or twenty thousand more than Kansas had,
and ho thought that, under the circumstan
ces, It would not bo becoming In CongressHo
: reject her application for admission. Mr.
' Ilenjamln, of Louisiana, was in favor of ad
mitting Oregon, but, In future, ho would In-
islsttbat a census bo taken beforo a now
Btato la admitted. Several Senators and
particularly those of Abolition tendencies
expressed themselves In opposition of Ore
gon. Mr. Fesicnden, of Maine, objected be
cause negroes, which in Malno nro citizens
equal with the whiles, wero not allowed by
tho Constitution of Oregon to enter the
State. Mr. Trumbull, of Illinois, did not
coincide in tho view of tho Senator from
Maine, but still was not prepared nt present
to voto for the admission, and moved that
the subject bo postponed until December.
Mr. Wilson thought that tho provisions In
the Oregon Constitution regarding negroes,
and the one prohibiting Chinamen from hold
tng any real estate or mining claim, were
"unconstitutional, inhuman, and unchris
tian," Mr.HAta was qulta violent in his
opposition, and'b 'd be would not voto for
the admission of Oregon, with ,eucu a Con
stitution, on this tide of eternity. I give
you ho polntsof these speeches to show you
what the Free-Soil sentiment Is on the sub-
-A
jeoi."
General Lane, Delegate from Oregon, had
made an ineffectual effort to have thu bill
appropriating five millions towards tba pay

an appropriation for the completion 'of the
military road from Astoria to Salem was

The bill for thocampletlonof thsuolHtary
roads in Washington Territory wa Hjcoted.
In the Houso tho bill to extend the laud
laws to the land n Oregon and Washington
lying east or tbo Cascade mountains, in or
der tbat It may bo surveyed and brought
into the market, was passed.
Tbo bill admitting Minnesota has passed
both branches or Congress, and that State,
therefore, is now one of the members of the
Union.

has been tbo subject of such frequent com
;ment : "When the full truth Is kuown, wo
believe It will be round that great credit is
.due to Col. Thomas L. Kane for this ftu'pL
clous termination of tbo Mormon broil. Ho
went out to Utah with tbo consent, indeed,
of tho President, but prompted by his own
generous heart, animated by nu earnest de
sire to prevent a needless, and therefore
culpable, effusion or human blood. By his
past services to, and experlcnco with, tbc
Mormons, ho had won the confidence or their
leaders, while his knowledgo or the purpo
ses and preparations or tho Government en
abled him to convince- those lenders that re-
itstanco 011 their part waa hopeless. We
wish he bad gone to Utah soma months ear
lier: but his bold and asir-eacrlficlng mission
lus doubtless been undertaken In season to
1 eavo millions to the Treasury and avert from
our nation the stain of a fruitless slaughter
of thousands and tho devastation of tholr
homes. ' Dlcued are tbc peacemakers.' "
