to Bmbark in the frail sailing craft of
the 17th century, en route to a com
paratively unknown and unexplored
country, leaving behind them homes
of comfort, often of luxury. Observe
them on bended knee, humbly pray
ing Heaven to prosper their voyage;
notice their arrival on a cold, bleak
shore, or perhaps land amidst .the
scowling, implacable savage, who
looked in sullen silence upon the un
bidden arrival of the pale faced stran
gers. No land teeming with precious
metals and gems prompted them to
come, or were found upon their arri
val. Our Fathers did "not tramp tri
umphantly o'er the balls of the Mon
tezumas or Incas. Their portion was
not Mexico or Peru, their gain not
the gold and jewels of the despoiled
temples of the conquered. Their re
ward not the splendid landed estates
of the conquered, with an allotment of
slave labor irom tne despoiled vic
tims. JSo, that was the portion of the
Spanish cavalier. The gallant hearts
of our Fathers were actuated by high
er and purer motives. They came to
enjoy something more priceless than
gold and jewels. They came to wor
ship and commune with the Creator
of the Universe, according to the dic
tates of their own consciences, and
to have a voice in the government
under which they lived. It yas a
principle for which they sacrificed
then, as well as on that day they pro
claimed the birth oi a new JNation,
many bright countenances to be seen
everywhere on the streets

Peauody's Skei'Lixg Mr La Duo sends us a
box of strawberries of the above quality, on
ono of which was a tag informing us that that
berry was supposed to be tho largest ono ho
had picked this year It measured 5 inches
in circumference.
Thanks. Mrs. Gcorgo Warren will plcaso
accept our thanks for a fine dish of Straw
berries plucked from plants in her own garden.
Now that strawberries aro nearly out of dato
up country, wo of this region lind oursolves in
the enjoyment of such luxuries to an untold
extent.
Weather Vane. Several years ago Capt
Hustler of this city had a large weather Vane
constructed for him, in the shape of a ship, by
Seymour & Joynt, that has sinco then indicat
ed the courso of tho wind unceasingly on tho
aptain's barn. Recently it was taken down
for reguilding, and is now to rest on tho roof
of Holladay's wharf.
Chinook Salmon. Tho tug Yaruna, with a
barge in tow, arrived from Chinook with near- i
ly one hundred tons of canned Salmon from ,
Megler & Jowct's, for shipment to California, !
and to Europe. If any Salmon manage to i
to escape tho nets of this firm they come to
grief farther up stream. They aro putting up
150,000 cans this season, besido largo quantities
in barrals, and having tested tho quality of
tho article can say that those gangs of men wo
saw at work at Chinook a fow days ago, aro
rightly employed.

Our Fathers at first established col
onies under the royal grant. They
were at first allowed complete con
trol of their local allairs. Legislative
assemblies were established wherein
the voice of the humblest might be
heard. Growing up by the neglect
and not by the culture of the home
government. The importance of the
colonies loomed up in the eyes of the
British ministry. Then it was that
charters were revoked, local govern
ments subverted as far as possible,
and a system oppression and taxation
inaugurated that compelled our fa
thers to proclaim their indepen-
here at the gates of the broad and
majestic Columbia, predicting at the
time thereof that here would ulti
mately be the commercial metropolis
of the Pacific. Even a British cruis
er, prompted by a hope of plunder
sailed up yon river, her battle flag
indicative "of a purpose of conquest.
But when peace came the ravages of
war were fast obliterated. A tnird or
a century scarcely elapsed ere the
tocsins of war again sounded from a
nighboring foe. (5ur gallant soldiers-,
to secure a lasting peace, carried the
war into the enemies country, and
there dictated a peace in the halls of
the Montezumas. That gave us the
golden shores of California, whose
mineral wealth, developed under
American guidance, has dazzled the, .
world. All? evidences of the rude
shock of the recent rebellion are
fast disappearing, and we find in tho
United States of to-day aland stetch
ing from the great lakes to the Gulf
of Mexico from the stormy Atlantic
to the Pacific, possessing almost every
variety of climate and productions,
mineral resources illimitable, filled
with busy centers of manufacturing
industry and commercial marts. Yes,
" A giant aggregate of nations
Glorious whole of glorious parts."
My fellow citizens, whilst we have
done much as a people to develop.
our resources, much yet remains to
be done. Whilst we can rejoice in .
the grandeur of the glorious constel
lation of States that form our govern
ment, we can be consistent and pa
triotic still, by doing our part to see
that the lustre of no single star i
dimmed. In publishing to the coun
try and the world the advantage of
your1 own State of Oregon, you can
do it in no invidious spirit, and in
askinjr attention to your local ad
vantages, standing at the gates of the
Columbia, the outlet for one of the
finest agricultural districts of the
whole country, you can do it in that
spirit of generous rivalry without
derogating from the advantages of
your rivals, and in a manner that
will carry conviction and progress
with it. Let every one feel an indi
vidual responsibility in this great
work, and in future, when the pre--
