atronger natural boundaries are necessary to
mark a just claim for independent territo-J

Aaide from the reciprocity of good feel
ing, and that mutual friendly underrtanding
which should be recognised between neigh
‘ boring provinces, there is not, nor never cart
be an identity of interest in a commercial,
or any other point of view, between the in
habitants of northern and aouthern Oregon.
Each could exist, and pursue it: agricultural
' and commercial pursuits independent of the
other, without in any manner requiring each
other'l aa-eiatance, or without necessarily
conflicting with each other‘a rights, interests
or policy.
All the surplus produvts of every dear
tription of the whole of Oregon, has. and
is likely to continue foi-‘a long Lime to come,
to find a ready and profitable market for the
produCt-r. At present, California employa
all our faeilitica for lumbering, and con

means of subristence.) the wants of our

The Willamette, its tributaries and the
Columbia YIH’IF, will, for an indefinite pe-‘
