    UH TRRRITORV OJI TUB PACIFIC.
The adjustment ot our boundary line in Ore
pon am) the final settlement of all controversy
with Knrjlncd on that subject will no doubt
ff i v an impetus to emigration to the Pacific
coast sufficient to form the population of new
State in that quarter within a few years. If
California shall become ours, of which there ap
pears to be every prolaibility, a range of Pacific
Hlixtes will soon exist. Then will the grand
cycle be completed ; snd civilization in its pro
gress from the East will have reached its ulti
mate point. From the shores of Oregon nur
pr-np'e, the latest born of the nations yet the
oUlesl in the world's history, will look across
the Pacific to the land whero Humanity was
cradled. '
A;cs and apes ago from the banks of the
(tangos the first step in the march of civilzatien
was made. Babylon and Nineva next had their
days ot greatness ; then Egypt, whoso victori
ous Sesostris triumphed aa she marched over to
the remotest confines oflndia. Afterwards came
the Persian ascendancy ; then the splendours of
Urrinn civilization and the empire of Alexan
der the (Sreal ; and lastly, as the crowning
chapter of ancient histjry, Western Europe
swayed the world by the iron gn?p of Rome's
military legions.
From India Egypt received her philosophy
and literature ; from Egypt lettera were car
ried by Caomiis into Greece ; and into both of
the venerable seals of early civilization Pytha
goras travelled to bring home truths of wisdom.
All there, inherited by Home, became the prop
erty of the European mind. Thus from age to
age, from nation to nation, the progress hssgone
on, every age and every nation, which has re
ceived I ho transmitted heritage of the great
trust ot Humanity, having had its particular
function, some to develope one characteristic,
some to bring forth another. And how great
the changes have been since the first step of the
onward movement one may distantly conceive
by beholding the republican pioneer of America
confronting the Brahmin of India tho one the
latest type of individual self dependence and
diftincl personality 5 the other the representa
tive ot a priestly dynasty which locked all human
freed 0111 in the rigid forms of caste over which
superstition sit predominsnt a dynasty which
existed before History began, and whose repre
sentatives at this day are connected by an ud
inlcrupted succession with the earliest period
of recorded time.
We have reached the Pacific, and thcro on
its tranquil shores the onward progress of our
restless population must stop. Looking over
the immense region which Providence has giv
en to us to occupy, the mind is lost in the im
mensity of the greatness which awaits us, and
the heart is stricken with awe at the vaat re
sponsibility which must rest upon us as the peo
ple who are to hold in trust the accumulated
results of all preceding civilization. Human
rights and human freedom ; self government ;
the history of fallen nations once great and pow
erful ; tho records of wars and convulsions
which were the parturient thtoea ushering some
new idea or prindipal into life ; all these snd a
thousand kindred reflections rush into the mind
when one ventures to consider the mighty fu
ture which lies before this Republic and its ad
venturous people. The commerce of the world
is to be ours, and both oceans are to be subject
to us. The splendours of Eastern cities which
grew into greatness by the trade between the
Valley of '.he Nile and the Valley of the Gan
ges, will shine but dimly, even in the enhanced
illuiniiiHlion of funcy and tradition, when com
pared with the stately magnificence and colos
sal structure of the cities which are to concen
trate the rich elements of the Valley of the
Mississippi. The ruins of Thebes and Mem
phis, of Palmyra and Ralbcc remain still to at
test a wonderful degree ot former greatness ;
but they grew up by means of a caravan trade
on camels, or by a commerce of galleys on the
Red Sea and the Peraian Gulf. From such a
traffic let the eye turn to the riverscsnsls and
rail roads of this continent of ours, to the mighty
sgeucy of fetes m. propelling innumerable ves
sels and cars, and to the immense expanse of
alluvial soil, fertile in products under tne cul
ture of a people who for enterprise, energy and
invention have no superiors we may say do
equals.
The possession of the Pacific coaat will give
a new impulse to our already rapid progress.
A now basis of commercial operations, having
the Hay of St. Francisco and the mouth of the
Columbia for its prominent points must soon ex
iht bfyoml the Rocky Mountsins. Commer
cially,' says Mr. Senator Bsnton, 'the advan
tages ol Oregon will be great far grater than
any equal portion ot the Atlantic States. The
rat-tern Asiatics, who will be their chief custo
mers in weutern Europe more profitable to
trade with, and less dungcroua to quarrel with,
Their articles of commerce are richer than those
of Europe; they want what Oregon will havoto
spare, bread and provisions, and have no sys
tems of policy to prevent them from purchasing
these necepvariea ot life from those who can
supply them. The sea which washes their
shores is every way a tetter sea than the At-
Ihiitic ; richer in its whale and other fisheries ;
in the fur regions which inclose it to the north ;
more fortunate in the tranquility of ita charac
ter, in its freedom from storms, gulf streams,
and icebergs ; "in its perfect adaptation totteam
navigatioa ; in its intermediate or half-way is
lands, and its myriad of rich islands on iu fur
ther side , in iu freedom trom maritime pow
ers on its coasts, except the American, which is
to grow up at the mouth nf the Columbia. As
a people to trade with ; aa a sea to navigate ;
tho Mongolian race of eaatern Asis, snd the
North Pacific ocean, are far preferable to the
Europeans and the Atlantic.'
From the Pacific across the Rocky Moun
tains to the navigable waters of the MissiMippi
there are means of communication which may
be easily improved into throughfirea. The
navigation of the Columbia, it is believed, can
be made practicable to the upper Falls, a dis
tance of six hundred milea from tide wstev.
The North Pass is declared by Mr. Benton lo
be as easy as the Souththere is no sensible
elevation to remind the traveller that he is as
rending. From this Pass to the Great Falls of
the Missouri is about sixty milea ; and the whole
distance from the navigable waters of the Co
lumbia to those of the Missouri is stated at some
two hundred and ten milfsonly. This inter
val ia well adapted for the construction of rail
road.

Ma. Oakis-v; I believe it the oty of every
one to do whatever in their power lies, for the bene
fit of their fellow man, and having had positive
proof in ray own family, of the wonderful properties
of your Depurstive Syrup of Saraaparilla, I moat
conscientiously recommend it lo the afflicted. We
had the mirfortune to lose two of our children, by
the breaking out of ulcerooa sores that covered the
face, head and neck, although we had some of the
most scientific physicians to sttend them snd hsd
tried sll tha known temediee, including Swaim's
Panacea, without avail. Another of my children
waa attacked in the aame manner, her face and
neck was completely covered; the dischsrgs wss so
offeneive, and ihe disease at auch a height, thai we
despaired af her life. Seeing the wonderful effects
of your Depurstive Syrup of 8arssparilla, we were
induced to make trial of it, as the laat resort ; it
scted like a charm ; the ulcere commenced healing
immediately, a few bottles entirely restored her to
her health, which she hss enjoyed uninterruptedly
ever sines. As a purifier of tbe blood, I verily be
lieve it has not its equal,

Ma. Oakit: My son Edmund Leaf, had the
scrofula in ihe moat dreadful snd distressing msn
ner for three yesrs, during which time he wss de
prived af the use of his limbs, bis be.d snd neck
were covered with ulcers. We tried sll the differ
snt remedies, but to no effret, until recommended
by Dr. Johnson of Noniatown, and also Dr. Issac
Hiester, of Reading, to use your Depurstits Syrup
of Saraaparilla, of which 1 obtained several bottles.
the use of which drove the disease entirely out of
his system, the sore heeled up, and the child was
restored to irerfect health, which ha haa enjoyed
uninterrupted! ever since, to the alnnishment of
msny persons wbe seen him during his affliction.
I have thought it my duly, snd .send you thiscerti
ficsls thsl others who hsve a (ike affliction in the
family may know where to obtain so vslusbls a
medicine. Yeurs truly,

TxTTsa on the Face and Head: the disease
aommenced when I was seventeen yesrs old, snd
continued until the Fsll of 1836, vsrying in vio
lence, but without ever d issppesring. During most
of the time, great part of my face waa covered with
the eruption, frequently attended with violent itch
ing ; my head swelled at times until it felt ss if it
would burst the swelling wss so great, thst I could
scarcely get aty bat on. Daring the long period
that I waa afflicted with tbe disease, I used a great
many t plications, (among Ihep aeveral celebrated
preparations) ss Well ej takisg inward remedies,
including a number of boltlea of Swaim's Panacea,
Extract of Sarsnparilla, dee, In fact, ll would be
impoaaible enumerate all m medicines I aaed,
1 was also under the care of two of the most die
tinguished pbysiciaem of thia cily, but without re
ceiving much benefit, snd I despaired of aver being
cured. In Ihe fall or ISM, Ae diatae at the tirae
being aery violent, 1 commenced using the Ross
Ointment, (prepared by Yaughan cV Davis.) lax
a few applications the violent itching ceased,, the
swelling abated, aVe eruption began te diaappear.
and before I had used a jar Ibe diaeaae waa entirely
cured. It haa now been nearly a year and a bat
aince, and there is not a vestige of the diaee.se' rv
maining, except the scars from the deep pits format
by the disease. Il is impossible for me to desarira
in a certificate the severity of the diseste andl mi
aurTering, but I will be pleased to give a fuller a
connt to any person wanting further satiafesaion
who will call on me. At the time I commonest
using the Ruse Ointment I would have given hun
dicda of dollara to be rid of the diaeaae. Since-a
sing it, I hsve recommended it to aeveral pereom
