that, through the whole negotiation game, up to 1845,

Tbc Capital of Alabama.
On Ute 28th ultimo, the Legislature of
Alabama balloted sixteen times for the
place of location for their Capitol. On the
last balloting Montgomery received 68—
scattering 62. The Capital is to be built
tree of expense lo the State, by the citizens
of tlie city and comity of Montgomery, ns

Missing a Crown.—An exchange paper says,
that when the present King of the French was tea
ching In Philadelphia, he fell ia lore with Miss P.,
the daughter of a highly respected citizen of that
city. The lad; was favorable to his advances, bat
was compelled to yield to the anthority of bir father,
who declared that “ no daughter of hia should de
mean herself by marrying a schoolmaster.”
Iiave brought our opponent to think of offering us
something better Ilian he ever ofiered us before,
thereiorc we must draw our foot back again as quick
ly and as quietly as possible, and so place ourselves
in die very position wq stood in Icr twer.ty-sevon
years, without getting any thing that ought to be
cailid tlie ghost of an offer; and wc must so draw
back for'thc sake of settling the question.
Fancy Kichnrd Hoe acting in that style in his con
troversy with John Doc. ltichard haggles in pri
vate with John for a quarter of a century nr 60, ta
king great pains, nnd making offer after offer, really
wanting the dispute settled. John plays off, nego
tiates, but makes noscrionsoffer—is willing to talk,
but prefers decidedly not to say any thing. Then
Richard, seeing that thus far he lias taken nothing
by his motion, begins to think, in earnest of going
to law on tlie matter—draws up his statement of
facts lor tlie lawyers, and asks them to serve John
with a notice to quit; thereupon John sends word
to Richard—" Well, since you are so much in ear
nest, I think we may as well try and settle on your
last offer but two; better do that tiian go into court.’’
And then poor Richard is demented enough to stay
all bis proceedings at once, and say in return, "Oh
never mind! I was only in fun! I don't think of go-
iug to law! I shan't serve the * notice’ oa you—let
us hate more longlalks, Just as ux had before!"—
The books tell u's of a few of Richard’s follies; but
has he ever been made by the most resolute devotee
of the common iaw.lo do any thing worse than this ?
Now, if iixview.of. the last news wo send back to
Eugland by the next, steamer,-that we do not mean
to give the notice,; nor build any more steamers,
nor pass an Oregon bill, nar take any ot the steps in
the maintenance of onr rights which the President
recommends—bow, we ask, does our cause differ
from poor Richard Roe’s ? If wc do thus place our
selves in this wretched plight, will it be the less a
folly in ns, because we look big, call ourselves Jon
athan, and have to do with John Bull ?
Wc address this arguments and illustration, be it
observed, to those presses and those statesmen who
are saying: “ The but news is so paciuc! Sow wc
shall get along very well without the notice!” We
say it is the prospect and expectation of the notice,
and of the other rachsnres try which the President
advises that tlie notice be followed up, that hare or
lone produced the present pacific tone in England.—
Is there any doubt of tiffs? Suppose that the Pres
ident had followed “ in the footsteps of his prede
cessor*,” and afterthe last interchange of diploma
tic notes between Messrs. Buchanan and Packcn-
ham, bad slated in his Message that the negotiation
had not reached any result yet, bnt be hoped that it
concerned, and the feeling seems to be spreading
through tho community. The meeting still con
tinues. *
The news from Wachington by Sunday night's
mail is important, and we think leaves the Oregon
question in a more critical state than it has been at
any time before. Many had believed that if every
other means failed, the question would at last bo
settled by arbitration. This it seems has boon pro
posed and refused. Thus, tlie question is alrea
dy brought to the state when we must be prepared
to maintain our rights in Oregon by force, or aban
don thorn forever. Wo bciiovc tlioro are very few
of tlie American people that would have boon willing
to submit tlie rights of out country to arbitration.
What farmer would be willing to submit to arbitra
tion, whether he should be allowed to keep posses
sion of his own farm, or be compelled to divide it
with another. The offer was no doubt mado only
for effect. Indeed it appears from tlie very words
of Mr. Packonham that he had no authority to
make such an offer, and it seems intended merely
to draw from tho President a refusal. Ills words
are, “ tlie object of the undersigned is (supposing

In allusion to tlie above correspondence, the Daily
Times says, “ It will bo seen that the President hu
fully maintained tho position on this question, to
which he was pledged in his annual Message. In this
patriotic decision ho will bo flrmly sustained by die
country, with a zeal which will forbid division ef
sentiment or action, should hostilities result, vrlic.t

by Congress, and not without some sensation.”
