THE OREGON QUESTION. NUMBER ONE. VoYAUE o DIscoiERY IN THE NORTH WENT CoAsT. We advocate the assumption of the r. egon Territory, not alone because the De mocratic party advocates it. The ques tion is a national, and not a party question. Its two sides are those of right and wrong: the former the American, the latter the -British side. The eminent statesmen of this country have acknowledged and es-. poused our claim ; and an examination of its merits, only tends to confirm us in the opinion, that if negociation fails to secure us the entire and sole sovereignty and oc cupancy of the Oregon territory, in the other alternative to which we shall be for ced, we shall be thrice armed' in the juat ness of our quarrel. Among the most itiportant docmedis on which we rely for materials and infor mation, are the able reports of the Hon. C. Cushir.g, from the Committee on Foreign Affairs, presented to the House of Reps., tn the Congressional session of 1839. Mr. Cushing's Report and supplement, evinces the deep research, the-indefatigable indus tryyclose reasoning, liberal views, and lit. erary ability which -characterizes his la hors, and entitles him to the -high 'rank he holds 'in popular estimation. We'carmot withhold the expression of our indebted ness to his labors in the investigatio i of the Oregon Question. As all claims to territory are originally based on discovery and exploration, it is neither unimportant nor uninteresting to give a rapid and cursory glance at the early voyages to the North-west coast of America, and their results, The Spaniards, after the conquest of Mexico, were anxious to secure the fruits of their conquest by enlarging the limits of their sovereignty in the New World. Va: rious expeditions were fitted out accord ingly. lI-:rnando de Grijalva. commanded one of these, a lieutenant of Cortez, dis covered California, 1534. This discovery was followed by voyages of exploration I under the auspices of the emperor. one of which he conducted irn' rson. Califor- e nia was ulti t ' -Trtsana pave t e way tr tte exp ora tion of the North west coast. In 1"582 Faucisco de Gali. in sailing from Macao to Acapulco, between which ports the Spaniards maintained a direct intercourse, made the north west coast as high up as latitude 57 30 1North. There is good evi dence to believe that in 1538, -a Spanish voyager by the nane of Maldonado dis covered the Siraits .f Anian. yuan de Fuca, a Greek pilot in the Spanish service, undoubtedly discovered the straits of Fuca; in 1799.- On the 19th of 1anuaiy, 1603, Martin de Aguila, on a voyage ofexploration, commandel by Viz cainn, who, however, left the fleet in lat, 52. reached the mouth of a rive-r in lat.43 north, which is that un,loubtedly called Umqua. There were many other voya ges anid discoveries made by the Spantards at different dates, bdt we have noticed the most imprtaut. Settlements were then made on the coast, and Spain thus ac quired incontestible territorial rights to the country its subjects had discovered. Great Britain claims territorial rights of some sort, based on the alleged discove ries of Sir-Francis Drake, who landed on some point in California, in 1578. and al-o made the cast in North latitude 42 or 43, withou' landing or taking possession. The spoi where ho did land in California, he named New~ Albion, but his proceedings could not insvalidare the prior claim of Sl~ain. The spirit of making discoveries in the North west coast, rematned dormant in Europa until revived by Russia itt the 18th century, when The far Northwest was visi ted-by the gallatnt and enterprising Russian navigators, IMehring and Sschirikow, in 1728, 1729, and 1741. -Spain and England, jealous of the movements of Russia, again fitted ont ex peditions of discovery, and the formter power. by meana of her subject, Don Joan Perez, obtained a claim to the shores of Noorka Sound. Four years after the landing of Capt. Cook~in the same place, Perex, in the month of August, 1774. anchored in the -road of N'oorka, landed,' and gave the spot the name of San .Lerenzo, his being the first European foot that touchedl that shore. In 17.75, the Spanish expedition commanded by Hecita, Ayala, and Qutadre, explored the coast as high up as lat. 58, and first dis covered the -mouth of the river Columbia, wvhich was called Lutrada de Heceta. -In 1779,Quadra, on another expedition sur veyed the port of Bucareli, and 'lodated' Muont -St. -Elias and the island of-La Magalene. Cook's explorations, being from Nootka Sound northward, it~ is un necessary to notice as disconnected with the history of the Oregon Territory, The unfortunate La Perouse, tho .French nay gator, w at at Mouiit St. Elmas in 17815. Thte occurrence of political events of mag nitttde placed insuperable obstacles in the~ path of commercial enterprise,- and for a. period, the voyages to the norihwest-coasst were entirely suspendetd. Otn nex' resua ming this subject, we shall notico t o memorable ~discoveries 2 mae'e by our townanU, Captain Gray, ..in ,t yetr YUMBER TWO. oyages to the Northeast Coast Resumed The Voyage of Captain Grey-Disct ery of the Columbin. After the clase of the Revolutionary war, which had, by involving the grey powers of Europe in its vortex, ternpora rily suspended naratime and commercia enterprise, the fur trade of the northwei revived the. thirst for voyages to its coast and America, Great Britain and Russi iad many merchant vessels fitted -oittc engage in it. Among the.irnportant-re sults of some of the .voyages was the ver ification of the story of Juan de Feca,i or which reited the eaim df Spain to the firs discovery of the strait which bore hi name . .. er . In the year 1787, Mr. oseph Barrell, a 'distinguished and ehterprisinag-erchant- o this city, projected a .goyage of commerc and discoveryto th'eNorth west Coast, and Samuel Brown, John Derby, Crowell, an< Sohn M. Bintard, associated .themselves With 44im in the enterprise: :1'w vessels were=i6tted out: the ship Columbia,.com. mranded by John Kendrick. and. the~ship Washington, by Robert Gray. - They sailed from Boston in October, 1789. Our city has therefore the honor of litting out the first expedition from the United States, undertaken with the avowed purpose of circumnavigating the globe. The first point they reached oh the Northwest coast was Nootka Sound,where after loadin&the Columbia -with -furs, the two vessels exchanged connaaiders,'Capt. Graftaking.the -Columbia to Canton te Ji!Tose ol'her "peltries, while Capt. Ken. J . -remained .on the coast in the Wash it.sn 'o collect furs. Capt..Gray sold his a. r' Canton, purcbased a cargo of teas, 4' ,lturned toBoston. But as the prof. - Suie inpufficient to meet the expenses, Mosjectors of the exterprise were dis eW icd.'aud'&essrs. Derby and Pintard to ftlu1 tbpir ihares in the vessels to Bar re=ll& 'Brown. These gentlemen fitted out Capt.- Gray on a second voyage to the :oast, for the furs which it was supposed Capt. Kendrick. was collecting. On the 11th of May, 1791, Capt. Gray entered a arge river on the Northwest coast, up vhich he sailed for several miles. This e named the Columbia, after his vessel, itd. landing on the shores, took formal ossession of the country in the name of he United States. In 1799, Don Eterban Martinez procee le with- two Spanish vessels from Sao here, an M waortn one o fl1 ands, which 'he named San Mignel. bout two-months after the foundation of his establibment, a collission ensued be ween the Spaniards and the agents of a British trading company, which gave rise o the famous Nootka .Sound controversy, in event of great importance, which, we shall lereafternotice.particularly. Ai this ime, Don Salvador Fidalgo made anoth :r Spanish Setienient -or* the main land. it the.enrahce ofr ucas strait. During the yearsi1792,'93 and '94, Van :ouver was enipJoyed by -the .British gov ,rurnenL to-make surveys and explorations fbthe Northwest coast.. lie perfdrmed his service. faithfully, and has recorded he fact ihat he derived his knowledge of the existence of the 5oJumbia- from Cap ain Gray, whose ship be spoke upon the voyage. Spain subsequently fittedovt )ther voyages of exploration to the north vest cast, the results of. which added a nass of geographical facts to the previous tistury of. that Tegion. We have thus rapidly traced the history )f the discoveries~on the northwest coast. We have seen that the palm of prior dis :overy on the shores of the Oregon terri ory belongs to Spai-.that the shores of N\otka Sounid were. =hers by right of d1is-. :overy and settleinient-*hat. Capt.'Gray :isg~overed and explored the mouth of the U'olumnbia, as subsequently, Lewis and Clarke did its sources. These points it is impor tant to, bearinamind. We shall no Lice, in future papers,. t he respe~ctive claims ')f Great Britain -end this country to the possession of Oregon-the history of the diplomatic negotiations connected there with, and perhaps give some topographi cal anad statistical details respecting the territory, together with a notice of its pres ent condition. Hints for 'Bachelors.-Attentions to a lady whose society is sought by a gente man. are justly understood to tend to mat. rim'ony. If the meetings are brought about by means-not originating with; him, if they ard untiitoid'able, or sought and occasioned by the lady herself, the -kind attention of a gentleman may :be ascribed to mere courtesy.. But when he takes an active and eager part in the matter, whetn he visits, writes, ecourts, and, above all, when lie adores andl dies, there is no mis take: he ought either to pop the question, or " gel away"-Familyj Herald.
