STATE POLITICS.
THE STATE ELECTION
The approaching State election, though not
perhaps, directly involving essential princi
ples, is, nevertheless, a very important one.
Everybody who approves tho moderate and
conservative policy of Mr. Buchanan, must
admit that any act on the part of Pennsylva
nia which which should, even in nppearanco,
evince any want of confidence in his Adminis
tration would ho extremely unfortunate. The
defeat of General Packer would ho every
where proclaimed as an evidciico that Pern?-
sylvania had arrayed herself in opposition to
the principles which tho President has avowed
as the guide of his political course. And such
an impression, in the present state of affairs;;
whether well or ill-founded, would bo injurious
and embarrassing.
It is, then, of capital importance that Penn
sylvania should, neither directly nor indirectly,
countenance the extreme sentiments which
rally the agitators, whether at the North ortlie
South. “Wheresoever else tho earth may shake
and the keepers and pillars of the house may
tremble and bow themselves, let the Keystone
of the Federal Arch, entrusted to hold it
against tho sky, stand fast in Us plaeo of
strength and beauty forever.” Such was the
language of Mr. Choate in his great speech
before tho late Presidential election, and wc
repeat and re-echo the sentiment which it em
bodies. Yes! let Pennsylvania maintain her
ancient and inherited faith, and stand in tho
flituro as in tho past, tho Ann, unshaken bul
wark of sound principles and moderate coun
sels.
Under ordinary circumstances, tho Demo
cracy of Pennsylvania would naturally, from
liabit, association, and sympathy, support their
own candidates in preference to tho opposing
ones, evon though they wero rnon of equal in
tegrity and equal ability. But this election is
not conducted on ordinary grounds. A new
issue has been raised—an issue which does not
bolong to tho contest—and yet Mr. Wiimot’s
wholo hopo of escape depends upon inducing
the people of this Commonwealth to heliovo
that it is a living and real issue, the solution
of which involves tiro prosperity of their
country, and tho happinoss of millions yet
unborn. That issue is the vexed and agita
ting question of slavery. What, we naturally
ash, lias tho question of slavery to do with the
election ot a Governor and other munici
pal officers in Pennsylvania ? Does anybody
propose to introduco slavery hero 1 Is General
Packer engaged in any such romantic enter
prise? Not at all. Nobody pretends to say
so. Pennsylvania is contented with her insti
tutions, and lias no ambition to change them.
What, then, has tho subject of slavery to do
with tho pending election ? Nothing at all.
It is an invention to catch votes.
When wo sco slavery receding and expiring
in all the border Statos j when wo behold it
casting a flickering and unsteady light iu Dela
ware, Maryland, Kentucky, and Missouri;
wlion every sensible man knows that the opera
tion of tho samo natural and physical causes
will produce tho samo results in Kansas, shall
wo ho told, when confronted with such facts,
that freedom is in danger, and that a vote tor
Wilhot is a vote for liberty ? There may bo
communities liable to bo misled and deluded
by such representations; but let tho October
election evince to the world that Pennsylvania
is not among their numbor.

Tho Democrats of Snyder county, Pa., had

bnnks should bo confiuod to tho immediate and
• uiroot ohunnels of production, or, inono phraso, tho
.commercial channel, tho question arises ns to tho
. best mothod of soouting that object. Jlownro tho
‘hanks to be oonftncd to this ohannol 7
Two suggestions arise in answer to this proposi
tion. Tho flist is, by charter to limit their opera*
tious to such loans. Tho socond is, by giving pub
licity to their proceedings.
The first, theso romodios is liable to ovasion;
but seconded by tho latter, or tho last nlono, would,
Wo apprehend, bo a more cfi’eotunl euro than any
other mode that could bo devised. Wo throw out,
therefore, boldly, this remedy; publicity, pub
ttctfy, publicity; and upon this pivot sooner or
tatir the question must turn .
To say nothing of so unU-ropublionn a dootrino
as Becreoy to the most importunt and pervading in
fluence which can afloct tho interests of tho
‘Country-—au influenco so universal that there is
, not an individual in tho country exempt from it—
Uis horotical in many other respects. Jn countries
whero’tho Government and the people are antago
ulsticnl, and whero tho Government seeks to rob
of,thoir inonoy which would havo to bo
'..frr.ung openly from unwilling hands, a bank under
management affords a very convenient op
. portunity, Hut tho idea that, in this country)
rwhoro all these intorests aro identloal, so formi
‘dablo a powor as tho banking institutions, hold
ing, as thoy do, so fonrful a sway for tho weal or
tho woe of tho country, should havo their measures
shrouded in darknoss and mystery, is to* mon
strous to bo tolerated. Can it bo for a moment sup
posed that tho whole community would have
- assented to tho mad schemes, wo had almost said,
; but certainly to tho extravagant and unwise
credits which havo, in port, brought upon us the
i disasters under which wo now labor ?
Now that tho operations of tho banks nro in some
Slight degroo mado known, tho public poroeivo the
errors whioh have been committed, and would,
doubtless, have prevented thorn In tho beginning,
had thoy been awaro of them. The stockholders of
various banks now poroeivo that much has boon
done, of which they cannot and never would havo
approved. Had tho banks known tho course eaoh
was pursuing, thoy would thomsolvoa havd actod
a very different part.
Can it bo supposed that tho stockholders, tbo pub
lic, or tho legislatures, would havo looked with com*
plaoonoy upon now banking institutions springing
up, if they wore aware that thoy wore real mockories
of increased capital, built up by thopVnndor of tho
vaultsof tho old banks, by moans of loans onstook, or
that unpardonablo cheat, discounting tho notes of
stock subscribers, and callingitndditional banking
oapital? Would any of those things bo toloraled by
a sound-minded community? Would tiny of tho
Dial-practices or egregious errors which have been
committed, have found favor with tho public {
Certainly not, and there Can bo no way so euro to
guard against tbo designing, or questionable wis
dom, as by subjecting all these operationsio tho
daily scrutiny of a watchful and interested pub
lic, Truth and honosty ever lovo tho light, and
court Intelligent approval. Tho deliberations of
tho National and Stato Governments nro public.
Of all public institutions which sway tho destiny
of this nation, banking institutions aro alouo en
veloped in mystery and shrouded in darknecs.
Tlicro’is no antagonistic interest to fell thorn.
Why should they shut out tho light of public opi
nion from transactions so nearly affecting its great
intorosts? Whcnco will objections nriso to giving
publicity to their proceedings, which will emiblo
tbo public to operftto intelligently and safoiy''
Darkness enn sorvo only to give immunity to tbo
tho speculator, whilo it shuts out tho
rays of tfuth from tho woll-moaning hut falliblo
dircotora,
Who oan doubt but thatmostof tbo evils wonow
endnro would have been averted, had the operations
find daily proceedings of tbo banks had the benefit
pf daylight? Stockholders and tho community
would no longer suffer the conscquonces of a blind
confidence, and ovory board of directors would
havo to stand that tost which honesty and ability
alnno oan stand without llinching. It would bring
to bear on thorn thnt groat republican safoguard,
iqipjodiato responsibility and judgment. This
course Integrity and truth would ehooso, because it
would dissipato that cloud of suspicion which ovor
hovers around sccrocy and mystory.
If thoro bo any valuo in tbo knowledgo of tho
of tho banks on anyoertaindny, (now the
only light which breaks in on tho darknos?,) bow
vastly inoro important is it daily to know those
operations? In tho first instance, you cun only
guo.-s tho errors which may ha\o boon committed;
in tho othor. tho errors may bo prevented. In tho
ono ease, tho interests of tho stockholders and of
tho community mo confided to an irresponsible
board; in tbo other, thoy would act under tho
scrutinizing gaze of tbo public eye, and with tho
aid of tbo effulgent light of public opinion.
Who will object to publicity? Wo repeat tho
question. Tho direction? Surolv not, as it will
secure them against tbo imputations from igno
raueo and malcvolonco. Will the stockholders?
Surely thoy cannot desiro to bo blimlfulded to
operations on which their sufoiy so largely de
pends; thoy can hardly suppose that their in
terests will bo advanced in proportion to their ig
norance of what so nearly concorns thorn. It oun
hardly bo argued that their capacity to chooso
directors, or to [approvo their management, is
increased tho less opportunity they have of judging
of tholr merit.
Tho public nt largo, who suffer so dreadfully tho
consequences of tho error and misconduct of bunks,
cannot object to a supervision of what so intimately
affects their welfare. Surely tho public cannot
hopo to avert the evil consequences of bank errors,
by shutting thoir eyes to their proceedings, or en
closing tho authors in Secret conclave. Tho public
dcsiro ft pure stream. Why, then, should they
fear to sco that tho fount is pure from which tho
stream issues ? Tho public mustonduro tho effects
—why should they scruple to watch tho causes 7
Would tho lcgitiinato proceedings of ft bank
shrink from exposure? Would tlioso proceedings
wish to bo voiled in night whioh nro redolent of
tho prosperity they hnvo engendered? or would
they bo questionable proceedings, and proceedings
without tho shadow of justification ? Let tho galled
jado wince !
It would appoar that no satisfactory objection
cun be urged against publicity, unless tho attribute
of infallibility bo vouchsafed to tho direction of nil
tho banks in tho country, and experience, it would
scorn, has demonstrated that wo nro not blessed
with consummate wisdom commensurate and co
extensive with bank direction.
THE FINANCIAL CRISIS.
[For Tho Pres*.]
TVo have reached a crisis tlmt requires cool
heads and steady nerves, and it behooves us to look
calmly at our position, nscortaln the causes which
led to it, and, if not too /a/r, tnko such wiso mea
sures ns will in tho end place ua in tho portion
■wo ought to occupy.
It is admitted on all hands, that tho immediate
camo of tho present difficulty is a unnt of concert
5n thought and action, on tho part of our wholo
business community. This is tho legitiinato result
of tho selfish maxim of “every man take care of
himself” which has been for years tho policy of
Philadelphia. On this principle, whenever a
measuro for tho general welfare of thooityhns
beon suggested, each individual has supported or
rejected it, ns it might or might not appear to
bo an immediato benefit to his own porconnl inter
ests.
Upon looking buck at the effects of this charac
teristic of our ciiy, wo cannot but feel ;ad and
molanoholy at the doplorablo results of it. Arc
our merchants called upon to support Philadelphia
shipping, or a lino of steamers ? Each one, finding
ho will suffer some littlo ineonvomeueo at first,
selfishly continues to Import through Now York,
leaving tho general imputation of the city to take
care of itself. Is a railroad called for which will
certainly bo u benefit to tho wholo city, hut may
not pay immediate dividends to tho stockholders l
Evory man avoids tho stock ; property owners pro
test against tho corporation doing anything, while
they do nothing as individuals. Merchants say
tboy “have no trade in that direction,” and it
would seem do not want any, and finally New
York capital stops in, completes tho road in such a
way that its whole bonofil is given up to that
city. And so it is with ovory enterprise requiring
individual sacrifice for a short time and limited
amount, to obtain great results for tho wholo city
in the long ruu. Every moasuro proposed is
gauged according to our own immediuto porsonnl
interest, mul if a small snorilioo is noeded for tho
public benefit, it is neglected and suffered todio
under an insufficient support. Wo overlook tho
fact that wo cannot do a good thing for tho oity
without kolping our own interests, never looking
beyond tho first effect on tho lattor.
Wo bnvo boon led into this way of noting by an
other peculiarity of Philadelphia. In our oity, as
soon as a business man obtains enough to inAko
him “ independent.” ho retires from businoss,
withdrawing his capital and oxpcricuco, and loaves
his business in tho hands of young men, with >cry
little of either, who, in their turn, hastou to do
tho same thing. As a natural conscquonco, no
practical ussistanco is givon to nuy measure wliioh
will not pay immediately, and evon if the young
mon desire to promote an enterprise of vast aud
general importance, they cannot spare the moans
nocossary to oompleto it, Tho retired merchant,
in the meanwhile, is an indiflforont looker-on, hav
ing invested his monoy in real estate, or even more
likoly, in shaving the limited' resource* of his
young successors. Had he remained in business his
onpital and experience would not only havo ena
bled him to conduct it on a much larger scale, but
he would tnko an active part in, and boon able to
contribute largely to measures for the publio wel
fare. Itis\ery evident thatif ten visn, worth
$00,090 each, can afford to lend $lOO,OOO towards a
public ontorpriso, one worth tho same aggregate
amount oau loud, with oaso, $300,000, and then
have $*200,000 left to carry on his business.
Wo consider it, therefore, an absolute duty for
every men to continue to uso his talents, experi
ence, and capital in his business, so long as ho can
bo more usoful in that way than by retiring If ho
desires to giro his young men a chance, as he
should do, let him associate them with him. All,
led, by his oxnmple, will look forward to a life-time
in business, and taking far-sighted views of things,
thoy will bo active and enorgetio in projecting
great enterprises, and in carrying them out with
spirit and success. Small losses at the beginning
will bocboorfully borne, with a view to large gains
in tho future; tho young men will be inspired with
confidence and enterprise upon finding thero are
capital and oxporienco to baok them, and every
business man will feel a zealous personal interest
Vl the welfare of the great commercial metropolis
he sees springing up in answer to his efforts.
This is what Philadelphia needs in the first place;
and with your permission, Mr. Editor, wo will, in
ono or two moro articles, follow the subject until wo
suggest motisoroafor immediate relief. G.
THE BANKING SYSTEM
[F«r The Press,]
Tho wide-sproad and damaging offeot of the sus
pension of specie payments by tho banks, proves,
what Ims already boon often proved, that there is a
serious fault In tho American system of banking,
which loudly calls for a remedy. It is not my object,
at present, to inquire into tho causes whiohhave pro
ducod tho present crisis. Different opinions aro
entertained upon that question. Some of tho
causes, perhaps, are latent; but if all were known,
mon might differ as to their relative efficiency.
But, however this may bo, while tho system of
banking remains as it is, wo may confidently ex
pect periodical returns of commoroial pressure dis
astrous to some, and painfully felt by all.,
My purposo in this communication, however, is
not to discuss tho general subject, or any of tho
subordinate questions involved in it; but rather to
propose, for publto consideration and discussion, an
oxpedient whioh, it appears to me. would, if adopt
ed, guard tho public in some degree against the
evil consequences of banking, as practised in this
country, if it should not entirely prevont them.
To somo, tho oxpedient may seem impracticable;
to othors too radical; to others inefficient or futile;
but my objeot will bo accomplished if tho propo
sition calls forth a general discussion of tho sub
ject, for that cannot fail to result in something
useful.
Lot a resolution be introduced into Congress at
tbo npproaohing session of tho effect following;
“ llcsolvcd, By tho Senato and House of Repre
sentatives, (two-thirds of both Houses concurring.)
That the following amendmont to the Constitution
of tho Unitod States bo proposed to the Legisla
tures of the suverul States, which, when ratified by
three-fourths of the said Legislatures, shall be
valid to all intonta and purposes, as a part of tho
said Constitution.
“ Art. Congress shall havo powor to prohibit,
undo; adequate ponalties, the issuing or omitting
of nny bnuk note, promissory nolo, bill, tioket, or
other engagement of credit, in tho nature of a
bnuk lioto, by any bank or corporation in any of
tho States or Territories of tho United States,
for any sum lees than twenty dollars.”
With a viow to tako tho souse of tho State Legis
laturoi*. lot a resolution bo introduced into them
at their next sessions, requesting the favorablo
action of Congress to tbo effeot of that above pro
posed. It being a national measure, designed to
bind all the Slates, it is eminontly proper for their
discussion and action.
Tbo effects of this expedient, if adopted, would
bo various, aud, it is believed, beneficial:
1. It would assimilnto tho currency of tho seve
ral States, and tend to mako it 6ound in all.
2. It would create a thick specie basis for tho
industry of tho country to rest upon ; which would
be deposited, for tbo most patt, in safe bauds—the
bands of tho masses, horn which it could not
wrested for speculative purposes, or for export
ation.
3. It would tond to prevent oxccs3ivo importa
tions ; by which I mean, largor importations than
cau lie paid for in the products of the country.
.I might specify other effects, but enough for the
Madison.
BOARD OF TRADE.
[For the Pre«s ]
I was mortified and inado to blush for tho honor
of Philadelphia morobanta At tho latitudinarian
ideas and views re freely expressed at tho meeting
of tho Board of Trado on Monday, on the subject
of paying Now York creditors in depreciated cur
rency, or, in plain language, oheating them out
of a portion of thoir just and honest dues, which
any righteous court of law in Christomlom would
enforeo tho payment of. I purchaso merchandise
of a New York commission merchant, whose only
profit is two and u half per cent., and I pro
mise uud ngreo to pay for it, not in depreciated
paper, but in money, thp currency of tho nation;
when my obligation nrrivos at maturity, shall I
violate my promiso, and impudently presume to
select, without his consent, what kind of currency
1 shall pay him in? and which, if it should bo
depreciated ten por cent., I not only cheat him out
of hU commissions of two and a half per cent.,
but oblige him to account to his principal for the
balance, aevon and a half por cent., also! If I
hnvo tho option of selecting paper curronoy to pay
my debts, at fivo or ten per cent, below par, I
hnvo exaotly tho samo right to scloot papor at
ninety-nine percent, below pur; tho prinoiplo
is precisely tho aaino Tho effect of tho recom
mendation of tho Board of Trado is simply to
shiold tho guilty and mnko tho innocent suffer.
Tho banks, by tho bungling and wretched mis
management of thoir managers, hnvo brought
this state of things upon us, and they should bo
tho partios to suffer this lo?s, and could bo made
to do so by an appeal to any court of justice, who
would oblige thorn to pay their dohts in coin. * *

[From the Now York Tribune of yesterday.]
Tho effect of a suspension of specio payments by
tho banks is this : whatever tho difference of value
may bo botwcon speoio and what, under a system
of bii.sponsion, constitute current funds—notes and
doposites, that is, in tho suspended banks—to tho
o.xtent of that difference tho suspension causes an
abatement upon all dobts falling duo. It is ft
pcheino much of tho same sort with those abro
gations uf debts of which wo read in tho history of
tho ancient Republics. If suspended bank papor
is at u discount of ton per cont. as compared with
specio, thou evory man who owes a hundred dol
luis will bo enabled to pay that debt with ninety;
and tho grentor tho diflbrcnco between paper find
specie, tho loss will bo bo obliged to pay. It is
easy, thoreforo. to see why those heavily in debt
»ro always in favor of a suspension by tho banks,
though, aftor nil, it is only those who owe moro
than they have owing to them who aro really bene
fited by such a movement.
For tho same reason it 13 easy to seo why thoso
States nnd cities which havo suspended aro always
exceedingly anxious to involve in tho samo susnon
sion all tho rest of tho country. It is nlso evident
that tlio interest of Now York, ns a whole, is de
cidedly, nt all times, against suspension, howevor
convenient it might ho to certain dccply-indebted
individuals. Now York, as being tho contro of
trade, and furnishing a large part of tho capital
for tho extended mcrcuntilooporationsof the wholo
country, is always, on tho whole, a creditor
oity. Now York always has inoro money to re
ceive from tho country than to pay to it. Tho
payments mailo by Now York aro to a very largo
extent niado to foreign countries. Tho foreign
trado being mainly carried on through New York,
this creates in our accounts with tho i*e*t of
the country an immense balance in our favor.
From tho circumstance that so heavy an amount of
our payments is to be wado abroad, and must be
niado in specie, or its equivalent, New York, in
case of u suspension of specie payments, can never
stand on tho samo lovel with tho rest of the
country. While tho rest of tho country gains all
tho benefits of the operation, wo suffer all the
lon. Uurdobts from the country for foreign goods
sold for consumption nro paid to us at the rate of
80 or 9l>, perhaps (50 or 70 oents on tho dollar, or
oven lew, while no aro obliged to pay for thoso
very goods 100 cents on tho dollar. It is, there
fore, the plain intorcst of New York, as it is also
the plain interest of Bo3ton and Now Orleans,
if not of Philadelphia and Baltimore, to maintain
tho specio value lor tho liquidation of dobts. The
only argument in favor of suspending specio pay
ments, is that it may onablo business mon to go on
and pay who otherwise might stop and fail. But
it la Just «* well to give relief by way of extension
or composition, ns to receive only a part of a debt
duo as though it wero tho whole. Besides, those
debtors who aro really insolvent will fail just as
much under a suspension of specio paymontsns be
fore. Undoubtedly thoro are many solvent bouses
to which very considerable indulgenoo will bo
needed to enable them to go on; but it i 3 hotter
they should have it on a show of assots, and after
an explanation with their creditors, than to have
the samo indulgence extended to everybody, solvent
and insolvent alike.

CORRESPONDENCE.
FROM WASHINGTON
[Correspondence of The Press.}
Washington, Sept. 28,1867.
Something About the Hudson’* Bay Company.
Lord Palmerston has recently addressed the
United States Government with respect to tho pos- I
sessory rights and claims of the Hudson’s Bay
Company, nnder tho Oregon Treaty, ratified tho
sth of August, 1840, within the limits of tho Terri*
tories of Oregon and Washington. I <lo not pro
pose to say anything of tho doings of the commis
sioners appointed to run the boundaries between
the British North American and our own posses
sions, for os yet no official report has been made of
their proceedings, and of what they have agreed
on. Nor does it come within the purpose I have in
viow to oxplain in detail the difficulties between
tbo company and the Canadian people, brought
about ohiefly by representations of the hardy
pioneers of the Redßtvorand Sakkutcbewan dis
tricts. It U enough at this time ta exhibit the
points of controversy concerning tho claims of the
Company in United States territory. '' f
The original chartcrof the company, granted by
Charles the Second of England, gave them a per
petual grant ‘‘of all those seas, straits, bays,
rivers, lakes, creeks, and sounds, in Whatever latl
tude they shall b O , that lie within the entrance of
tho straits commonly called Hudson’s straits, to
gether with all tho lands, countries, and terri
tories upon tho coasts and confines of the seas, |
straits, bays, lakes, rivers, creeks, and sounds afore
said, which aro not now actually possessed by any I
of our subjects, or by the subjects of any other'
Christian princo or Stats.” There is the same
vagueness about this that is apparent in all similar
grants by the great powers of that day. By tho
treaty of 1840, the territory south of tho forty
ninth degree of latitude was ceded to tho United
States, or gather it was determined that the right
of sovereignty of this territory, which had been
claimed by both Governments, was in the United
States. The third article provided, that “in all fu
ture appropriations of tho territory south of tho for
ty-nlnth parallel of north latitude, as provided in
the first article of this treaty, the pos3oasory rights
of tho Hudson’s Bay Company, and of all British
subjects who may bo already in tho occupation of
land or ofchor property lawfully acquired within the
1 said territory, shall bo respected.” The fourth
article confirms the farms,’lands, and tither property
of every description, belonglning’ to the Puget’s
Sound Agricultural Company, on tho north side of
the Columbia river, subject at any time to purchase
by the United Statos, at a proper valuation, to be
agreed on between the parties. It is assumed that
tho possessory rights of tho Hudson’s Bay Company
extend over the wholo territory north of tbo Colum
-1 bia river, and that in tho territory south of tb 0
49th degree of latitude'tho United States hate
I merely thosovoroignty, with a naked fee, encum
bered with a right of occupation by the Hudsons
! Bay Company, which is valid until extinguished by
! transfer, and would bar ejoctment. It is also as
sumed that tbo farms, lands, and other property of
| the Puget’s Sound Agricultural Company, to the
; full extent of their claims, are fuljy confirmed
by the treaty. Tho United States deny the
existence of any such vast righto on the part
of theso companies, 'and justify tbemsetrea
with well-known precedents of decisions nnder
liko promises in previous treaties. The Hudson’s
Bay Company stand on tho same footing 03 all
British subjects Already in the occupation of land,
and their possessory rights are to be regarded in
tho same light as those, of individuals who have
actually occupied lands. It Is clear that the pos
sessory rights of such individuals would be limited
to actual erections, enclosures, and lands cultivated
and improved. Governor Stevens, in his report to
tho Secretary of State, remarks, that “ TYhen the
established policy aud nature of the Hudson's Bay
Company aro considered, it is apparent that to allow
them to claim possessory rights over the whole coun
try north of tho Columbia river, and below theforty
ninth parallol of latitude, would bo inconsistent
with the right rccognlsod by the United States and
all civilized nations, to appropriate for purposes
of sottlomcnt and agrieulluro territory ©ecu'
pied by unsettled and sparsely scattered
hunters and fishermen. Tho profits of this
company have been derived principally from
trading with the Indians and scattered
voyagers and hunters, who havo exchanged
the prodnots of tho forests for their goods.
It has been the policy of tho company to discourage
agricultural emigrants, and to keep the greater
portion of the territory a mere wildorncss, or a
vast preserve for gamo. Vattol has observed that
the cultivation of tho soil is an obligation imposed
by nature upon mankind, and ho and other writers
upon natural law place but littlo value upon the
territorial rights of people sparsely inhabiting vast
rogions, and drawing their subsistence chiefly from
tho forest. In this view it would bo difficult to
distinguish tho territorial rights of this company
from those of the people fa<t disappearing before
tho steps of civilization oft this continent.' In esti
mating the valuo of the rights of tho
Hudson’s Bay Company, it must be borne in mind
that these righto, being simply those of occupancy
and incapable of being transferred to purchasers
must terminate at tho expiration of the term
during which their privileges in the territory exist
by their charters.’* Tho company's charter ex
pires by its own limitation in 1859.
Tho uncertain rights under treaty stipulations of
the Hudson's Bay Company have to a great extent
retarded the growth of Washington Territory, and
its citizens have generally complained that these
rights are not extinguished. Tho forco of their
arguments has been more than once acknowledged,
and just now it seems to be tho detenninotion of
our Government to acquire by purchase and ex
tinguish all the rights and claims of these compa
nies within our territory, whether secured by
treaty or otherwise, legally acquired and held by
these companies. Governor Slovens, from per
sonal inspection and a careful investigation of the
wholo subject,’■estimates the possessions of tho Hud
son’s Bay Company, and tho Pugot’s Sound Agri
cultural Company, within tho Territories onVasb
ington and Oregon, as follows :
POSSESSIONS or HUDSON’S MAT COMPAST.

It is on this foundation, then, that the proposed
arrangement between tho two Governments will be
made. Tho act known ns tho donation law of Sep
tember 27, 1850, granted to every wbito jettler or
oconpant of tho public lands within the Territory

Governor Slovens states on this point that
