When the contemplated Rail Road through this part of the State shall be completed, this place must become a large manufacturing town, as it unites all the essentials for such a place. As it is probable any person wishing to purchase will first inspect the place, it is unnecessary here to give any further description of it. In my absence, call on Chas. F.

Tlje last days of the last Session of Congress are cal culated to call jbrtjh sad forebodings. It is not to be dis guised that uhaishi exists to an alarming extent on the fearful subject jjf slavery in both sections of the Union. It seems to me) tha)t the South placed herselfon a wrong position in attempting to push slavery Into Oregon, or in making up an 'issue on that subject on the bill organiz ing a Territorial Uovernment. According to the Mis souri Comprorise and the resolutions admtttng Texas into the Uniorf, th parallel of 36s 30' was) the line rt solved on bs dividing the free States from those that tol erate slavery, find tis Oregon is far, very far north of that line, no attemjjt oaht to have been made to make it a tlave territory because it .would violate the spirit of both the acts detcioiinirig the toundary of slavery.
