Total Loco vote, 837; do. maj., 731; or all others over Thurston, 3. of July, and organized by the election of Samuel Parker, President of the The Legislature of the Territory assembled at Oregon City on the 16th Council, and A. L. Lovejoy, Speaker of the House; and on the 28th of the same month it adjourned over to the 20th of August, after the adoption of a memorial to Congress upon various subjects connected with the interests of the Territory, such as the granting of land to immigrants, &c. John P. Gaines, of Kentucky, succeeds Gen. Lane as Governor; Gen. E. Hammond, of Ohio, is his Secretary; and William Strong, U. S. Judge.

MINNESOTA.-Henry H. Sibley (Loco) was elected on the 1st of August a Delegate to Congress (without opposition) along with the first Territorial Legislature, but, as party lines were not drawn at this election, no estimate as to the political affinities of the Territorial legislators can be made. It was in session two months and trans acted much important business. David Olmsted was President of the Council, and Jos. W. Furber, Speaker of the House. The Territorial Government is composed of Alexander Ramsey, Governor; Charles K. Smith, Secretary; Aaron Goodrich, Chief Justice; David Cooper, B. B. Meeker, Associate Judges; Joshua L. Taylor, U S. Marshal; Henry L. Moss, U. S. Attorney. Beside these officers (appointees of the President), the Governor has appointed the following:-Lorenzo A. Babcock, of Benton Co., Attorney-General; Jonathan E. Mc Kusick, of Washington Co., to be Auditor of Public Accounts; Calvin A. Tuttle, of Ramsey Co., Territorial Treasurer. On the 11th of June a census was taken of the Territory, when it was found there was a white population of 4,680, exclusive of soldiers at the military posts, and the immigration since that time has been at least equal to this estimate. The Indians have a population of 25,000. The Legislature have memorialized Congress for the purchase of the Sioux lands west of the Mississippi. The Territory covers a vast extent of land (166,000 square miles), sufficient to make four or five States when sufficiently populated. STATE OF DESERET.-This new applicant for admission into the Union-situated in the Valley of the Great Salt Lake, embracing what is called the Great Basin of North America-adopted quite a liberal Constitution on the 10th of March. Brigham Young was elected Governor; Heber C. Kimball, Lieut.-Governor; Wm. Richards, Secretary of State; Jos. S. Heywood, Treasurer. On the 5th of July the Legislature met in joint 338 session, and elected Almon W. Babbitt as a Delegate and Representative 180 to Congress. The population is mostly composed of Mormons; they prefer 343 a State Government, and thus relieve the nation of great expense. If Congress ratifies the Constitution of Deseret, two Senators and a Representative will soon be chosen from there.

New York, August 1, 1849.

The Publishers, in their Prospectus, say, that they are

"Resolved that no American journal shall exceed the Tribune in the variety, extent, or accuracy of its Intelligence, while to Literature, Poetry, and Art, they devote all the space that can be spared from the topics of the day."

The following extracts from notices of this Paper, published in various parts of the United States, will show how far the Publishers were justified in the foregoing announcement :THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE.-This powerful jour- NEW YORK TRIBUNE.-Although we differ from nal, which is a perpetual fountain of thought and this print in several very important matters of politopinion upon all moral and political subjects, seems ical economy, we are none the less willing to acfull of its original vigor and freshness.

THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE.-Without disparaging the merits of any one of the excellent political journals throughout the country, we think we can safely say, that no better periodical of the newspaper kind is issued from any press in the Union, than The Tribune. The greatness and variety of reading matter which it weekly lays before its readers, can not fail to interest all, however much they may differ in their notions of what a newspaper ought to be.-Greenville Banner.

NOTICES OF THE PRESS.

The New York Tribune is decidedly one of The New York Tribune, if we may be althe very ablest political journals in the Union. **lowed to express our honest opinion, is the best We are aware that Horace Greeley is a Northern newspaper in the country, and, in many respects, man with Northern principles, an open and undis- without a superior in the civilized world. In its guised Free Soil advocate, and so far as these pe- means of obtaining the most accurate and extenculiar sentiments extend we dissent from him; but sive information from all quarters of the Globe, it as a Whig-on all the great national issues which is perhaps unsurpassed; and it is, therefore, a perhave long been before the country-as a man of fect Daguerreotype of the living age. vast political knowledge-we admire him. Few men in the nation have a larger stock of practical good sense; he is excelled by none as a political writer. Upon the Tariff question especially he is transcendently able, and has long been known as the champion of American Manufactures.- Tennessce Packet.

THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE.-This paper is so well established in the public confidence as to need no word from us in commendation of its merits. We do not hesitate to say that the New York Tribune is the best newspaper in the United States. It contains daily more domestic news than any other that now occurs to us, and beside giving as much foreign intelligence as any of its neighbors, the letters of its numerous foreign correspondents enable it to present a better view of general European affairs than can be obtained elsewhere. But what gives The Tribune a peculiar value, in our estimation, is its high moral tone, its deep sympathy with the struggles of mankind everywhere, its clear apprehension of the great law of Progress, and its abounding hope of a better day for the world, built upon a rational view of human nature and a just appreciation of the omnipotent causes now at work to elevate our Race.-Gem of the Prairie. THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE.-The Tribune is deservedly one of the most popular newspapers published in the country -enjoying a patronage more extended, perhaps, than that of any of its cotemporaries. Almost every man who is a politician has read The Tribune. Its reputation and influence are confined to no particular locality. The Tribune has attained an influence throughout the country more extensive and commanding than has ever been exercised by any other paper in the Union-we make no exception. It furnishes its patrons an amount of matter fully equal to that of any other journal; and its means enable it to compete, successfully, with its cotemporaries in the variety and freshness of its contents.-Greenville (O.) Patriot.

THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE.-All of our readers are doubtless familiar with the long and well-established character of this able Whig journal, and need not to be told that for energy, and enterprise, and ability in its conduct, it is equaled by but few, if any, papers in the country. Although devoted to the advocacy of Whig principles, and decidedly Political in its character, yet Literature Poetry, Art, and General Intelligence, all receive their due share of attention. If any one desires to take a first-rate city newspaper, we recommend them to try The Tribune, with the assurance that they will more than realize their expectations.-Gettysburg (Pa.) Star and Banner.

NEW YORK TRIBUNE.--The Tribune has the most comprehensive news department of any paper in the Union, and is the most candid political paper known.-The Free Mountaineer (Vt.)

If the Whigs of this county want an unadulterated, never-tiring, interesting, ultra-Whig, scientific, able, fearless, rough-and-ready newspaper from any of our cities, we think they can not do better than to subscribe for the New York Tribune. It is all we have described it to be above, and double as much more, and is certainly one of the ablest Whig papers in the Union.-Clinton (Pa.) Democrat.

Every number of the Tribune is a book, th erusal of which will enable a person to keep up with the age upon almost every subject of great general interest.

Among the evidence of the enterprise of this journal, we would mention that one of the editors, BAYARD TAYLOR, already favorably known to the public as a European traveler and writer, has gone to California to travel the country, and supply the paper with the most recent and authentic intelligence.-Wisconsin Advocate.

THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE we look upon as the most valuable paper issued from the city of New York. The reader of the DAILY can depend upon not only the latest intelligence, but all the news of importance, foreign or domestic, that industry or observation, express or telegraph, can communicate-beside a rich store of valuable literature-verbatim reports of lectures, speeches, and sermons, and an array of editorial talent acknowledged to be of the first class.-New England Religious Herald.

foremost papers in the Union in every particular, is To say that The Tribune ranks among the no exaggeration. All who are familiar with it and the productions of its able editors, will concur with us in this opinion.-Versailles (Ind.) Intelligencer.

At once the best and cheapest weekly paper in the Union. In politics it is thoroughly Whig, and the acknowledged ability of Horace Greeley, Esq., its accomplished Editor, has secured for it a circulation unequaled by any of our political weeklies.-Mifflintown (Pa.) Sentinel.

This paper has a wide circle of friends, and enjoys an extensive and well-deserved patronage. The Tribune is known as a champion of popular rights; its Editor, although not aspiring to the title of Philanthropist or Philosopher, is, nevertheless, considerable of both. The influence of The Tribune is eminently moral; in this respect it aims to We commend The Tribune to our readers.-Polit be unexceptionable. For News it is unsurpassed. ical Investigator.

For enterprise, liberality of expenditure in procuring the latest news, and amount of talent, it combines more, probably, than any paper in the country, and is second to none in influence, being quoted and read by all shades of politics and reli gion, though in its principles decidedly Whig, but we would not recommend it on that account. Its foreign news is always full and complete, and its Congressional better than any other paper out of Washington. To those who want a business and general newspaper, we recommend this before. any other.-Portind (Me.) Transcript.

As a political, literary, and a newspaper of general intelligence, the New York Tribune excels all others. Its foreign and domestic correspondence able editors-have given it a high interest, and es -the attention bestowed upon its columns by its tablished an exalted reputation for accuracy in all things. It is the paper of the east, and should receive an extensive patronage.-Kentucky Whig.

This is one of the most ably conducted of the New York press, and is, no doubt, deservedly the most popular journal of the whig party.-Tenth(Va.) Leg'n.
