territory of Oregon shall be vested in a governor who shall hold his office
for four years, and until his successors shall be appointed and qualified,
unless sooner removed by the president of the United States. The governor

representatives shall reside in and be inhabitants of the district, or
county or counties, for which they may be elected respectively. Previous to

inhabitants and qualified voters of the several counties and districts of
the territory to be taken by such persons, and in such mode as the governor
shall designate and appoint; and the persons so appointed shall receive a
reasonable compensation therefor; and the first election shall be held at
such time and places, and be conducted in such manner, both as to the person
who shall superintend such election, and the returns thereof, as the

the number of members of the council and house of representatives to which
each of the counties or districts shall be entitled under this act; and the

prescribed, shall be entitled to vote at the first election, and shall be
eligible to any office within the said territory; but the qualifications of
voters and of holding office, at all subsequent elections, shall be such as
shall be prescribed by the legislative assembly: Provided, That the right of
suffrage and of holding office shall be exercised only by citizens United
States above the age of twenty-one years, and those above that age who shall
have declared, on oath, their intention to become such, and shall have taken
an oath to support the constitution of the United States, and the provisions
of this act: And, further, provided, That no officer, soldier, seaman, or
marine, or other person in the army or navy of the United States, or

domicil: Provided, further, That no person belonging to the army or navy of
the United States shall ever be elected to, or hold any civil office or

and laws of the United States; but no law shall be passed interfering with
the primary disposal of the soil; no tar shall be imposed upon the property
of the United States; nor shall the lands or other property of non-residents
be taxed higher than the lands or other property of residents. All the laws
passed by the legislative assembly shall be submitted to the congress of the
United States, and, if disapproved, shall be null and of no effect:
Provided, That nothing in this act shall be construed to give power to
incorporate a bank, or any institution with banking powers, or to borrow
money in the name of the territory, or to pledge the faith of the people of
the same for any loan whatever, either directly or indirectly. No charter

notes or bills in the likeness of bank notes, or any bonds scrip, drafts,
bills of exchange, or obligations, or granting any other banking powers or
privileges, shall be passed by the legislative assembly; nor shall the

other authority, be allowed in said territory; nor shall said legislative
assembly authorize the issue of any obligation, scrip, or evidence of debt

inconsistent with the provisions of this act, shall be utterly null and
void; and all taxes shall be equal and uniform and no distinction shall be
made in the assessments between different kinds of property, but the
assessments shall be according to the value thereof. To avoid improper
influences which may result from intermixing in one and the same act, such
things as have no proper relation to each other, every law shall embrace but
one object and that shall be expressed in the title.
7.-Sect. 7. All township, district, and county, officers, not herein
otherwise provided for, shall be appointed or elected, in such manner as
shall be provided by the legislative assembly of the territory of Oregon.

emoluments of which shall have been increased, while he was a member, during
the term for which he was elected, and for one year after the expiration of
such term; but this restriction shall not be applicable to members of the
first legislative assembly; and no person holding a commission, or
appointment under the United States shall be a member of the legislative
assembly, or shall hold any office under the government of said territory.

a delegate to the house of representatives of the United States, who shall
have and exercise all the rights and privileges as have been heretofore
exercised and enjoyed by the delegates from the other territories of the
United States to the said house of representatives. Vide Courts of the
United States.

territory of Oregon shall be vested in a governor who shall hold his office
for four years, and until his successors shall be appointed and qualified,
unless sooner removed by the president of the United States. The governor
shall reside within said territory, shall be commander-in-chief of the
militia thereof, shall perform the duties and receive the emoluments of

commissions shall be required, and shall take care that the laws be
faithfully executed.

reside therein, and hold his office for five years, unless sooner removed by
the president of the United States; he shall record and preserve all the
laws and proceedings of the legislative assembly hereinafter constituted,
and all the acts and proceedings of the governor in his executive
department; he shall transmit one copy of the laws and journals of the
legislative assembly within thirty days after the end of each session, and

members of council of the first. class shall be vacated at the expiration of
the first year; of the second class at the expiration of the second year;
and of the third class at the expiration of the third year, so that one-
third may be chosen every year, and if vacancies happen by resignation or
otherwise, the same shall be filled at the next ensuing election. The house
of representatives shall, at its first session, consist of eighteen members,
possessing the same qualifications as prescribed for members of the council,
and whose term of service shall continue one year. The number of
representatives may be increased by the legislative assembly from time to
time, in proportion to the increase of qualified voters: Provided, That the
whole number shall never exceed thirty. An apportionment shall be made, as

representatives shall reside in and be inhabitants of the district, or
county or counties, for which they may be elected respectively. Previous to

inhabitants and qualified voters of the several counties and districts of
the territory to be taken by such persons, and in such mode as the governor
shall designate and appoint; and the persons so appointed shall receive a
reasonable compensation therefor; and the first election shall be held at
such time and places, and be conducted in such manner, both as to the person
who shall superintend such election, and the returns thereof, as the
governor shall appoint and direct; and he shall, at the same time, declare
the number of members of the council and house of representatives to which
each of the counties or districts shall be entitled under this act; and the
governor shall, by his proclamation, give at least sixty days previous
notice of such apportionment, and of the time, places, and manner of holding
such election. The persons having the highest number of legal votes in each
of said council districts for members of the council shall be declared by

highest number of legal votes for the house of representatives shall be
declared by the governor to be duly elected members of said house; Provided,

votes and in case a vacancy shall otherwise occur, in either branch of the
legislative assembly, the governor shall order a new election, and the
persons thus elected to the legislative assembly shall meet at such place,
and on such day, within ninety days after such elections, as the governor
shall appoint; but, thereafter, the time, place, and manner of holding and
conducting all elections by the people, and the apportioning the
representation in the several counties or districts to the council and house
of representatives, according to the number of qualified voters, shall be
prescribed by law, as well as the day of the commencement of the regular
sessions of the legislative assembly: Provided, That no session in any one

shall be prescribed by the legislative assembly: Provided, That the right of
suffrage and of holding office shall be exercised only by citizens United

United States, and, if disapproved, shall be null and of no effect:

one object and that shall be expressed in the title.

assembly, or shall hold any office under the government of said territory.
