At that legislature (1856-57), the act passed providing for holding a convention in August, 1857, to form a state constitution, should the popular vote at the general election in June be in favor thereof. The southern counties had abandoned the idea of a new territorial government to be composed of Southern Oregon and Northern California. The people had grown ready for home rule. They were heartily tired of the annoyances incident to the territorial condition. The}- had learned, in the capital ...controversy, that Congress, not themselves, controlled the settlement of their purely local affairs. The hope was large that, if they became a state, the increased political influence (a vote in the national House of Representatives, and senatorial representation) would assist in securing the recognition and payment of their Indian war debt, a debt which had accrued because the general government had ignored them, a self-imposed liability which never would have been necessary had Oregon been represented as a state, in the Congress of the nation.
