We have on our desk three works concern
ing this Territory, which has been the fruitful
theme Of discussion for long time past. In
taking notice of these recent publications, we
had thought Of presenting our views at large !.
but upon consideration, deem ii best merely to
give the titles Of the volumes referred to, and
leave our readers to form their own opinions,
after reading them. The subject is one which
calls for the earnest attention Of all, and no one
should neglect to avail himself Of the opportu-
mites afforded, Of informing himself concern
ing this interesting portion Of the earth. Con-
siderable information may be gained from the
following:

This work is not yet completed; the first No.,
however, is before us, just from the Press. Ii
is sold at l21 cents per number, and will no
doubt, be extensively patronized, by those who
desire information concerning Oregon.


We decline giving any expression of opin-
ion on the great question, as it would not per-
haps be proper; but we would express our
qualification that able persons are endeayoring
to give the people the necessary knowledge of
the country, about which all should feel great
interest, whether they do or do not favor our
right TO the whole Of Oregon. Many other
works on this subject, will, no doubt, be forth
coming from the Press, in various parts of the
country but we believe the more the public
are informed on it, the better. The diffusion of
knowledge Of this kind, at this time, is highly
proper and we wish the enterprizing gentle
men who have undertaken this task, great sue :
