st the present time. The platform
of the Tani'iiiuiy Hall 1 Conve ttlion,

Governor Henry A. Wis?, the Vir
ginia wind bag, goes into ccslaseis
over the prospect of a speedy resto
ration of the Confederacy. It is true
he modestly proclaims the first reso
lution a lie, nnd says that secession is
not dead, but more alive than ever,
i lie supports Seymour and Blair, be
cause the platform declares the reeon
strnctior, nets, " unconstitutional and
void.:? and because Blair demands a !
freiide overthrow of ihn . Southern i
State governments, under the neon
strnction acts. Governor Vance, of
North Caro!ina,vhiie on his way home
from the Convention, took occasion
to ventilate his ideas, in the course
i of which exercise he said tiiat " what
the Confederacy fought for, would be

The old rebel paper of New Or

Coiumbta, and other cities of the

ADDItEiSEO
To the Hon. Legislative Assembly:
Duriu; my. recent visit to the Atiantie
States. I was peculiarly impressed with the
marvellous growth of the railway system
of tixJ country, and the laanhold happy
efiectS which I these swift aud niultiplied
means of tra el and trnilc have had in
quickening the rcSO'urccs of the regions
they traverse, and in building up not only
jrrcat centres of trade and ''manufactures.
o ...... . w . .
but in dotting the land with ..flourishing
BUtrepos. On all sides they, breed move
ment, new industries, general thrift, and
diversified, prosperous interesls. Observ
ing the general prosperity which had uni
versally followed the track of the locomo
tive on the one Land, and the manifest lack
of it where, as jet, no railway .Las been
laid or is immediately prospective, 1 conkl
but return Lome profcv.ntlly convinced
that the early construction' of: railroads to
connect the valleys of the Wallamet and
the Sacramento is the supreme necessity
of the people of Oregon.
To that end, I am sure, we should bend
every energy and devote ail available re-
eaui - ees, public and individual, so a; to
measure, and must equal. y suuer so iou
s the roads are left unbuilt.
It is true, we of the 'Wullr.net valley
vaaey i
to mar-
;t U cir-
have cheap water transportation
?u t ; but. nntiappny. mat maiKei, ,uu-,
only hUj,pen through a large increase of
our population, and the introductiod and
,i;-ov,ti: of new industrial interests i:i that
chain of valleys which extends' from the I
si y.r t
ftbia across me ttato une inioL-au:r- r
f na. Wiih vaihvavs linking these valleys
together, immigration would be . immedi
ately and powerfully attracted ; for . we
should thus secure the connection with tie
Pacific Railroad; thus lap " that'-nnglry
stream of life and develop-ment for out
side Of the continent, increasing our pop-
i ulation sensibly, and rousing to life and
j action every dormant energy of our peo-
,)k inJ tvcry iaU.nt resource and interest
0f Oregon, and of the whole valley of the
Columbia 1
It is assuredly unnecessary lor me to
dilate upon the extreme lavorab'.eae.-s of
the lines of the proposed roads. The rich
,...c ..f v..'rin;i thev v. I i I traverse in :crl-
, , " , ,. r,, -
en ina and other resources are as mint-
liar to all of you a? it can be to me. You
know the unsurpassed fertility of the Wal
l:imetr Umpqua, Rogue River, Grande
Eo-.tiide. Umatilla .and Powder River val-
i leys, aud the vast m.neral wealta of the
I.,. , . i. t.. -u:..t,
ir.ernl wealth of the
the railway's would make available to the
material enrichment ol all classes among
us. All this. I vepeat.you know and ap-
pieCiaiC , OUL L IU llv. v. li. IH.ij , inv .
journ.-y such as I have lately made over
the great railway lines of the Uasl. to see
v. hat thev have done for the deve'.or.ement
of that section, iti order to comprehend,, j
in ail its value, what railroad coinmtmi-
' , , .
cation between the iast to i ortani and
thence to San Prancirco tl:rou"h the heart
of the Slate, woul I do for Oiegon ; r.r.d
! what we lor-c, and must continue to
loie,
so lonrr as tnat wot .; snaa oe icii unuoue
. , . , i ii.tr.. -1 !
It is immigration, above all,, that we
need to make our broad and splendid val-
j m,ichlvii3 limber resources cf our vast
tlL. ijf ail lilci'.lLi. vi , on yna v.ti.t-.- u -
ject of unabated interest in the East. Put
it will be of little gain to us it will pour
into and be absorbed by California, un
less, happily, we are wise and energetic
enough to push our railroads Southward
and Eastward so speedily as to intercept
almost the first wave and direct it hither
ward. Were our roads built there would
be nc difficulty in securing our legitimate
share of this immigration. Many men of
character and business energy, w ith capi
tal, would then come among us, giving us
a most welcome and valuable accession
j to our population. Naturally, indeed, the
j tendency of imralgratloa is northward and
westward. And the ltrst ore.un oi tne
tropical summer heat of the valleys of
California, would drive thousands toward
Columbia and Oregon, the very names of
whose valleys seem to have a singular a'
i ruction to the people of the East. Pos
sibly it was tills, in part, which enabled
me the more easily to excite the attention
and persuade Eastern capitalists to ' make
a visit to tiiis State. in order to investigate,
oa the snot, the character and extent of
j our resources, and thc field here afforded
i . ... . .. .
for gainful investments. In tins, however
I was likewise aided by the specimens
which fortunately I carried to New. York,
of our flour, wheat, oats, lea' her and other
products, which attracted uncommon in
terest by their superiority, of which, here
tofore, nothing had been known.. ; '
I found parties ready to sell us iron for
our roads, taking in payment, at par, the
bonds of the company, guaranteed by the
! fct;l- in ulcl' 1 V" some, iron
outright, upon the exhibition of my cre-
, . T A i t . i . i
deniiais as an officer of the O. C. It. R.
j Company, lor tne parties with whom 1
j dealt were satisfied that in due season the
I proper legislative endorsement icouUl he
made. Now. can I doubt that your hon
orable body will see the urgent, the para
mount necessity for action in such rays
and degrees as shall 'secure the earliest
completion of our railroads ? AH avould
appear auspicious for that end if our peo
ple and their representatives will compre
hend and meet the exigency, squarely, in
a wise forecasting spirit, with th;it liberal
legislation that will secure to us the capi
tal standing ready at our back. The stag
nation in business at the East ami money
-f
glut there, have made capitalls's look
j eagerly in this direction for a new theatre
; 0f operations. We should not lose so
opportune a juncture, but boldly seize the
j xx measure of its advantages, prognant as
they are with the weal of our whole
people. H
Comprehensive, time! v legislation- laws

cade that, as yet, has been imagined by
but few. ,
Thexidef iliin to. be done, I repeat: Is
the earliest possible completion of4X)ur
part of the railway between the Eastland
Portland, 'aiwl to Saiv Francisco.: Every
resource should be made subsidiary to
that object.! That which our people are
unable" to 'do- iadUHnalry toward its ac
complishment should bo done by the
State unhesitatingly, and without stint.
In tfcc-.Vdantie States .there are few. raik

States are lrge stockholders, owning in j
some instances as much as tVo-thhds of
lie shares. Iu other cases the bond of
the mil way corporations have been guar
anteed, principal and interest, by the
State, and thus the capital was raised to
build and stock these roads.
Put while I would make iht the promi
nent measure in your Con.-.i"derat;on, there
are others tmt I would not h.ve lost to
sight ; others in connection with which
vour honorable body , may materially ad
vance the growth of the State. in popula

have inaugurated a line of sail ves.--els to
