Tcquesl of the writer to that effect, the edi

nulhorized to publish such particuiarsns

The plan involves the complete abolition
of slavery in the islands of Cuba nnd Por

Wo have received a pamphlet copy of
Judge Colquitt's speech revised mid pub
lished under his own supervision. VYo pre
sume it is the saute, the receipt of which
the Chronicle of the 11th inst. acknowl
edges. We have looked carefully through
that speech, and unlike the Chronicle, sec
nothing that even squints at Arbitration, or
fuvors it tinder any conceivable alternative.
The term compromise is no where used in
such a way as to enable the utmost inge
nuity to infer tlml ibis “comprehensive word"
is so used as that it “may ’nclude a settlement
by arbitration.” On the contrary, directly
lue opposite is announced, nnil llic Sena
tor's teal position clearly laid down in the
only paragraph in which arbitration is spo
ken of, or alluded to.
“There being no arbiter, to whom we
can submit the decision, upon whose impar
tial judgment wc enn rely, Grcnt Britain
nnd the United Stales stand in the attitude
of both judge and advocate in their own
cause. In such a contest wc can easily
foresee the improbability of an agreement
between them, if each insist upon the full
extent of tlte claims they present v Com
promise is the only mentis left for a peace
ful settlement, an'd if titis fail, the victor’s
sword must turn the balance of justice. I
should have rejoiced that this Oregon ques
tion lintl been settled by a treaty of com
promise ; and shall be its. termination. It
is idle to boast of national honor, and vainly
imagine that it consists in adjusting for
ourselves ihc extent of our right, and treat
ing with contempt the claims set up by
others. In every tmrli contest, comprt ntisc
is the honorable and magnanimous mode
of settlement.
“In the affairs of privnlo life, he who
would refuse u reasonable proposition for
settling a dispute, when llurc existed no tri
bunal io adjudicate the question, might win
for Itimsell the character cf obstinate and
fearless courage, but would forfeit the prou-
tlcr characteristics of “wisdom, justice, and
moderation.”—pp. 4 and 5, pamphlet eepy.
Tho facljs, ihe whig presses betray an
uneasy desire to extort from the Democracy
some support for their sickly bantling of
British origin, Arbitration, and which they
hove adopted ns their especial prologt, but
wc believe, so far, without success. This
effort to bring forward Judge (.'olquii ns
countenancing it, has signally failed.

The U. S. Frigate Rarritan is here from La Pla
ta, and reports that the English nnd French are atill
fighting their way up the Parana, for the purpose of
opening a communication with the interior provin
ces. The general opinion here is, that Gov. Rosas
will be obliged to abandon the blockade of Monte
Vedeo, and consent to the commercial communica
tions demanded by England and France. Popular
sentiment Irate runs strong against Rosas; be is re

The Brazilians do not like tho interference of

has but little more power than tho President of the
United States. Law takes its shape from the nation

presses tlic popular will. This branch can at any
time force a joint vote and carry a measure by its

From BacaoK Ayres.
Advices of late dates have been received (through
the Bandi Oriental) at Rio Grande the day previous
to the sailing ol the Francis Partridge. No altera
tion in the position of cither of the belligerent par
ties was reported. Rosas had improved tho oppor
tunity afforded by tho quietness of tho combined for
ces since the engagement of the 20th November, by
patting in a more defensive state the point attacked
at that time. It was rc|»rtcd that several vessels
had detached themselves from the convoying squad
ron in consequence of a scarcity of provisions, and
the unfavorable prospect of tlte expedition. It was
the general belief that the undertaking would bo
abandoned, on account of the risk and detention in
the navigation of the Parana and also that peroons
from Corier.tes brought information that the amount
of produce in that quarter was far short of what had
already anticipated the arrival of the expedition—
The Buenos Ayreaos had batteries on nearly every
prominet point of the rivcr,nml greatenthusiasm pre
vailed in Rosas's Camp. The resultof the engage
ment of the 20th November being considered as a
victory on their part, the combined forces having
bad so much tho advantage on that occasion, Rosas
had made known his determination to rigidly enforce
his proclamation, by which all persons found under
protection of the English and French Squadron,
were to bo considered ami treated as Pirates.

mini-tier at,;liu Court', the lion. Ilenry A. Wise.—
Many todies and gentlemen of distinction were pres
ent. r Tlte officers of tho foreign men of war and of
our own squadron were among the guests; the ut
most good feeling prevailed and many rccollcctious
of home, kindred and friends, in connexion with the
day, sparkled over the festive scene. Mr. Wise
made us a speech in his happiest vein, proclaiming
universal peace as the moral anti political maxim of
this intelligent ege. At sun-set thecompany broke
up; the yards were manned, ahtl a grand salute tired.
As the hill of tins entertainment was focted up by
Commodore Stockton and Capt Du Pont, your rigid
economists on lh6 floor of Congress need have no
thing to say on the score of national expenditure.
Suclt entertainments promote good feeling; they
awaken mutual respect and esteem; and make war
a last resort iu settling national difficulties. It is

The recent “ flare-up" in the United State* Sec-
ate, and the complexion of the intelligence fro:*
Washington relative to. the Oregon question, hair
attracted an unusual degree of attention in tiu
community, and throughout the country. Thc.-c
events have only furnished, additional evidence o-,
the importance of tho crisis at which the Orogs,
controversy, between this country and England,!^
reached. It is now certain and positive as ths th
ing son of to-morrow, or the going down of tb-
same over the dark bine hills pf New Jersey, tli»:
the Oregon controversy must cither' be settled on
some reasonable compromise, some where aboat
degrees, during tbo present session of Congress, or,
if not, after this year it never can be settled at all
short at 64 40. This alternative is a law of tutor-.
The light which lias recently been thrown uj. i
this question is sufficient to iUumidhte the civilize:
world. No doubt can now exist in any rcasonoU.
or impartial mind that the title if the United Stale*
lo the whole if the Oregon territory, from 42 deg. h
64 deg. 40 min., is better than that if England; an!,
therefore, according to the strictest rules of jsitie,
the latter poteer wght to relinquish, hereafter, a!!
claims to anygportion of that disputed ground. \V:
can entertain no doubt of tho superior title of t-.-r
United States to tliis torritoiy, against all competi
tors, and in the faco of every hazard. But, while
entertaining this unequivocal belief, the mind may
be disposed—Irom principles of compromise, involv
ing the laws of peace, and a desire to avert the
calamity of war between two such countrivs as
England and the United States, the end ef which
no mind can determine—it may be induced, aa-Ivr
influences similar to these, to submit, with modera
tion and peace, to any reasonable compromise that
may he beneficially entered into by the United St it.*
government without injury to the rights or iutcrest;
of tho country. On many occasions, in the history
of nations, it was the wisest policy to insist open
extreme rights, at tlte hazard even of war; but, vt
the present occasion—looking to the future destiny
of tlte human race—it may, perhaps, be deemed tbo
best policy, (br tlte advancement of civilization, tin
progress of religion, and tlte improvement of the hu
man race, to -waive absolute rights, at tho kazud
even of popularity, so that a sanguinary and des
tructive war may be avoided.
We would he disposed, therefore, notwithstanding
onr firm belief in tlte superior rights of the United I
States to all this territory, to concur in a comproc.-
ise similar to that which the President has berv'.v-
fnre offered; and if the British government under
stand their position, and their best policy, tbr<
ought to lose no time in attempting to bring abc '-
such a consummation, with a view to put an endt"
tliis controversy. After this sritsldh of Congrc*,
Our readers will see that we have given in onr
paper of tliis week, several extracts from the March
number of the Southern Cultivator. This is a very
valuable number of tiiat useful work. To every
planter who will give it a careful perusal, tliis one
number is worth tlte price of the work for a whole
year. And are the planters of Georgia, Alabama
and Florida willing that this papers should go dowti
for want of patronage? VVo hopo not. If the
Southern Cultivator should foil for want of snpport,
it would be a very serious loss to the Agricultural
interest throughout this section of our country. All - .
who are acquainted with tho paper, will ockoowl- j

edge it has been very ably conducted, and wc be- Jucc the .government of this country to comprotn:-:
lieve it has already hod a very happy, effort upon with tho British govornment their claim, with m I
the planting interest ift Georgia. And if this paper
is Dot sustained it will probably for many years dis
courage overy ouo from starting another paper in
Georgia devoted to Agriculture. In other parts of
the United States, similar works of no higher, merit
titan this, meet with very liberal patronage; and
will not tho planters of Georgia sustain a paper
devoted to their interest? Wo bclievq thousands
more would suliacribe for it if they knew its value.
We would suggest that every Agricultural Society
