The second: "He, his executors, administrators, and assigns, shall not, directly or indirectly, mediately or immediately, _violate_ or _evade_ any of the chartered or licensed privileges of the said governor and company, or any restrictions on trading or dealing with Indians or others, which have been or may be imposed by the said governor and company, or by any other competent authority, _or in any way enable_ any person or persons to _violate or evade_, or to persevere in violating or evading the same; and, in short, _shall obey all such laws and regulations_ as within the said settlement now are, or hereafter may be in force"----Here are enumerated a long list of political duties pertaining to the citizen. The deed in its third condition says: "And also that he [the said receiver of the deed], his executors, administrators, and assigns, shall not nor will, without the license or consent of the said governor and company for that purpose first obtained, carry on or establish, in _any part_ of North America, any trade or traffic in, or relating to, any kind of skins, furs, peltry, or _dressed leather_, nor in any manner, directly or indirectly, aid or abet any person or persons in carrying on such trade or traffic."----Here follows a long lingo, forbidding the settler to buy, make, or sell liquors in any shape on his lands, and requiring him, under pain of forfeiture of his title, _to prevent others from doing so_, and binding the settler, under all the supposed and unsupposed conditions of obligation, _not to supply_ or allow to be supplied any articles of trade to any unauthorized (by the company) person supposed to violate their trade, including companies "corporate or incorporate, prince, power, potentate, or state whatsoever, who shall infringe or violate, or who shall set about to infringe or violate the exclusive rights, powers, privileges and immunities of commerce, trade, or traffic, or all or any other of the exclusive rights, powers, privileges, and immunities of, or belonging, or in any wise appertaining to, or held, used or enjoyed by the said governor and company, and their successors, under their charter or charters, without the license or consent of the said governor and company and their successors, for the time being, first had and obtained. "And, lastly,"--here follows a particular statement asserting that for the violation of any one of the thousand and one conditions of that deed, the settler forfeits to the company his right to the land, which reverts back to the company. Our country delights to honor the sailor and soldier who performs a good, great, or noble act to save its territory from becoming the abode of despotism, or its honor from the taunt of surrounding nations. In what light shall we regard the early American missionaries and pioneers of Oregon?
