It f aaav Vfcyfauv mM of much teaeral InfuriwaHs aad an I e ayafem1 ef TeWaWTaraanWHaTaMB,
cignty of that territory, it was pretty gener
ally agreed that thoy would formally declare
themselves neutral in tho contort, agreeing
not to cut each other's throats but to await
the result of the contest and be governed
by it.
Wo wish Congress had barely taken time
to establish a Port of Entry at tho mouth of
the Columbia and appoint a Collector. The
British have the start of us in the trade of
that territory, have awe eapkal, wider ooa
ncctions, and in some respects cheaper goods;
luit ti-e collection of duties on British fab
rics entered there, while ours wcro admitted
free, would powerfully aid to turn the scale.
Although the navigation of the Columbia in
free to tho Hudson's Bay Company and all
British subjects trading with them, we under
ntand of course that the British are not au
thorized to import goods, and sell them to In
dians and others South of 40 degrees free of
duty. Tho failure of Congress to extend
our Revenue Laws thither is therefore a
needless National injury.
Mr. Polk we learn, had his batch of offi
cials for Oregon all ready to send to the Sea
ate bad the bill organizing the territory aaae.
f-d. We believe tho Governor of hie choice
was a young man named Kowaa, of Ken.
tucky. li we. don't intrude, we would like
to suggest ' the name of Col. Rtcaaaa M.
Johnson for that office. Under the circum
stances, it is a post of responsibility and
honor, and should be filled with some man
who has not all his reputation to make.
Col. Johnson has faults, but he has had very
groat experienco in legislation and public
uflairs, and ought to be able to render good
Mirvioo in organizing an embryo Statu. We
understand that, sinco his retirement from
public life, his health is entirely restored, his
contitution reinvigoratcd, and that hisintel
lect is much brighter tlian it was a few years
Ago. We believe his appointmont as Gov
ernor of Oregon would bo warmly approved
on both sides of the Mountains. .
By the way, we hope the Territorial or-
ionization will not annul the laws of Oregon
lillierto passed, especially the following,
which might servo 'as a model for tho best
State in the Union, viz :
Ay ACT to prevent the introduction, title, and
di'jitHalion of ardent npiril in Oregon :
1. That if any person hull horeuftur Im
port or introduce any ardent spirits into Ore
iron, with intent to sell, barter, givt, or trad6
tho same, and hall offer tho munn for tul,
trade, barter or gin, ho shall Ihj fined tho sum
of fifty dollars for each and every such of
Mice,' which may bo recovered by indict
ment, or hy trial before u Jutuice of tio Peace,
without the form of pleading.
2. That if any person shull hereafter sell,
barter, givo or trade, any ardent spirits of
uny kind whatever, directly or indirectly,
to any ponton within Oregon, ho shall forfeit
and pay tho sum of twenty dollars for each
and every such salo, trudo, barter, or gill,
to bo recovered by indictment in the County
Court, or before a' Justice of tho Peace, with
out tho form of pleading.
:i. That if any porson shall hereafter es

tillory of ardent spirits in Oregon, ho shall
