The Suit estimates the expenses of emi grating tq Oreg On. and living for one year, at $3OO. This, we deem, is $2OO more than is absolutely necessary; but suppose it a correct estimate, we still consider it "trifling." W o do not believe, with the Sun, that "not one in twenty of those who are laboring under the Oregon fever have this amount, nor are they able to procure it." For our part, we do not know a sin gle family who talk of emigrating to that country, who would find it impossible to raise 5300, if so much shoulil be rrqui r ed. "Wtrit c ,, uld a family starving here, do in the without the means ut going to work?" If we come to this, we can safely say, that they could hve better there on game and fish, and the spontaneous productions of the e rib, much better than they do now, when ''soup houses" have to be establish- ed to prevent starvation.
