Territory of Hnron.-rne erection of d new Territory "tt the far west" under this name, is again coming under discussion at this session of Congress. meeting wls held at Green Bay, on the 25th cf October last, to take into consideration this subject, and to so- licit from the General C. vernment surveys of new portions of the cauntry, for the acc ,m- modation cf the settlers, and for the purpase | of inviting thither the cntcrprising cmigrant and capitalist.

 The State of New York has deep interest in this question. A western friend whose in. telligence enables him to comprehend this interest, has furnished us the Allowing hints which We lay before cur readers.

 1He Wisconsin or Huron 7erritory-The advantages which the State of New-York will derive from the establishment of sepa- rate territorial government west of the M;- chigan, are numerous and valuable.

 It will greatly extend her commercial and mercantile interests: and by its influence, a considerable market will be opened for her agricultural and manufactured productions. The importation cf the articles produced in this country, such as lead, furs and peltries, sugar and white fish, and their transportation through the State arc we'll worth her atten- tien. Oflead, there were exported in 1898, II, l05,s10 lbs. and in 1899, l3, 343, 15O lbs. It is confidently asserted that the greatest part cf this trade may be turned to New York, bv the way of the Lakes and the Erie canal. This r ute is now pre- ferred to supply these who are employed in that trade with provisions and merchandise. The trade of Green Bay at present, (ep,rt at which ves- sels arrive and depart weekly during the spring, summer and autumnal months,) is estimated to exceed $500, per annun.

 The relative pcsition f this C, untry. to New-York, is that of a colony. settler upon the borders of either If the great Lakes

 is within the sc:pe her interests, and h's capital ard lab-r are employed to their ad- vancement. If he passes, however int, the valley of the Mississippi, his views, feelings and purposes are at dnce directed to ether points. They fellow the course ofthat stream like the winds cfthat region. He m v be c~n- sidered as lest to her commercial kingtlcn,. It IS of great importance, therefore, that this new territory >h7uld be open to receive her emigrants. and thus prevent them from csca- ping from her legitimate dominicn.

 As sameasure now, CT hereafter, to affect the political strength of New-York n the Un- ion, 1t will be cnly necessary to direct the at tent cn If her statesmen to her character. It may pt ssess consequence much greater than is at this moment apparent.
