by order of Santa Anna* Ehretobrrg gives the *ub- ;
joined accuttPt of the scene, whifh “* think will be
read with interest, though the incidents in some sort
ere already familiar:
“ After the name* had been called over, dm order to
march was given, and we filed out throuh dir gate of
the fortress, the Greys taking the lend. Out*de the
gate we were received by two detachment* ot Mexican
infantry , who marched along on either aide of us, in
the Kamo order as ourselves. V\ p were about tour j
hundred in number, and the enemy about seven bun- !
dred, not including the cavalry of which numerous small j
groups vs ere scattered about the prairie. V\ e man lied j
on in silence not however, in the direction we had j
anticipated, but along the road to Victoria. I his j
•apprised us. but upon reflecting, wo concluded
that they were conducting ua to some eastern pmt,
thence to he shipped to New Orleans, which, upon the
whole, was perhaps tit# best and the shortest pi Mi.
‘J’ c ir was something, however, in the profound silence
of the Mexican soldiers, who are usually unceasing
chatteler.*, that inspired ms wuh a feeling of nn*a*infsa
so t ar.siu:y. It was like a funeral inirch, and truly
may it b. called. Presently i UKned my head to
see if Miller's people had Joined, nod were marching
with us. But to my a tonishment, neither they nor
Fanning's men, nor the Georgia batallion, were to he
seen. Thev bad separated us without our observing
it. and ‘he detachment with w Inch 1 was marching con
sisted only of the Grays and a lew Yenm colonikts.
Glancing at the e*rort, the absence of all baggage, now
for the first time atruck me. l thought of the bloody
scenes that bad ncruired at Tamptci. B*n Patrico, and
the Alamo ; of the false and cruel character of those in
whose power we were and 1 w*ss z-d withs present
rment of evil. For a moment Iw as about to commu
nicate my a prehensions to my companions; but hope,
which never dies, ugain caused me to take a more cheer
ing view of our situation. Nevertheless, in order to
be prepared for the worst, and in case of need, to be tin
encamberfd in my movements, I watched my opportu
nity and itway amongst tho grass of ihe prairie m
bundlecontaining the few ihroga that the thievish Mix
rcans had then allowid me to retain.
A quarter of un hour had elapsed since out departure
from the f**rt, when suddenly the command was given
in Spimh to wheel to the left, leaving the road ; and.
iw we did not understand the order, the officer himself
went in fiont to show u* the way,and my companions
followed without taking any pailiculur notice es the
change of direction. To our left ran a musket hedge
five or six feet in bight, at right angles with tho river,
8t Antonio, which flowed at a thousand paces from us,
between haukt* thirty or fully fed high, nad of which
hanks the one on the nearest sale -f the river rose
nearly perpendicular eut of the water. We were march
ing along the side of the hedge, tow nds the stream,
and suddenly the thought fished aero** us, “ why are
they taking us in this direction]” Ihe appearance of
a number of lancers, cunterii g about the fields, on our
right, also startled Us ; arid just then the foot soldier*
marched between us and the lodge, changed their
places and joined those of the.r comrades, who guarded
us on the other hand. Before we could devine the
meaning *f this m lueuver, the word wa* given to halt.
It came like a sentence of death ; tor at the mine mo
ment it was uttered, the sound of a volley of musketry
echoed across the prairie, we thought of our comrade*
and our own probable fste.
Kneel down !** now burst in harsh accents from
the bps of (he Mexican commander.
No one stirred. Few of os understood the order and
those who did wool i not ohev.—The Mexican soldiers,
who stood at about Hirer paces from us, levelled their
muskets at our breasts. Even then we cou'ul hardly ,
believe that they intended to shoot us; for if wo had, 1
we should a—u<edl> have rushed ,n *•*•* ‘ , " - -

him, r a.!y at the fi at wed he should u’ter to spring |
upon the soldiers. But he seemd to he as most of us
were, impress'd with the belief that the demonstration •
wa* merely a menace used to induce us to inter the
Mexican service. With th • atening gesture and drawn
sword, the chief of the ax-'isin* again ejaculated the
command to kneel down The sound ot a s c*iul vol
ley, from a different direction than the ft at. just then
reached our ears, nu ! was followed by a confused pry,
as if those at whom it h id been aimed, had not all been
immediately killed. Our comrade, the one who un
derstood Spanish, started f ora his momentary lethar
gy, and b Idly addressed us :
• Comrades, cr.ed he, “ you hear that volley, that cry.
There unehope.for u*~our last hour is com*! There*
fore, comrades ”
A terrible explosion interrupted him—and then all
was stilt. A thiCK, cloud of smoke was curling and
wreathing towards the St Antonio. The blood of our
lieutenant was rm iny clothes, mil around me lay my
friends, convulsed with their I i*t agony. I saw noth
ing more l uhurt inye!f, I sprang up, and concealed

revolving pistols and a large butvi* knife upon hisjiu-
nn, and was momently expecting in attack from fcome
lof his nunitr ou§ foes, lie was ii law yor. ami must ot ,
! his difficulties originated from the mode iri which he
I practised his profession. By buying up old ami doubt
ful ilairns he involved himself in andless litigation; j
find ihe bitternss* generally attendant upoosmh case*.
; wjs deepened and widened by the manner in
which he conducted his suit*. No apprehension of
! personal dinger ever deterred him from ntuchaving
! those claims, or prosecuting them to the utmost nft* r
wards. Un the contrary, th# prospect of danger seem
ed rather on additional inducement; and h 2 was at all
times ready to defecd them by tongue, pen. **r pistol.
Had his mode of warfare been more bn|,l and open, he
would have avoided much of the oiilpquy ‘vhich his,
court# drew dwn upon him. But mi#Xreeding y
circumtpert hod he been in always placing himself iu
an appurentiy justifiable position leg ally, that many
! doubted his prrson.il courage. It m fait iiir. however,
1 to sav that hi* life had been secretly aimed ut hv Ins
enemies, and that he displayed unyielding fumne s,
from the time of receiving his death-wound up <0 the
hour of his death. The hall entered jhst above hi* hft
eye, which w-a* forced from iti*%ockdl and rested on
his cheek; it pnased through the ro<g of hi* tongue,
(lowu hi* throat, and perforated lii* lungs. Immedi-
ately after recovering from u few moiacnts if insensi

w.s misunderstood, with all the force ho could muster,
he feebly articulated the word “ink.’ Hipposing he

purpose. Waring refused kis assivtance, crew ti t* un

engaged until hit# at night. He completed some un
fnmhed contract*, entered into t new one. gave re
eripts, settled accounts, brought a suit, drew up his
will, and arranged all his worldly aflair* as far an wan
possible. The scone, while thus engag and. hns been:
described to u* as the most melancholy and appalling j
one which was probably ever witnessed. The internal

Waring triumphed. Ho lived twelve hours longer
than the physicians deemed posaihle, and had still time
to have paid some attention to his eternal welfare.—
Our information leads us to believe that this was en
tirely disrcgaided, and that he died ns unforgivingly as
he had lived. It rs said that one of his family begged,
on bended knee, that he (Waring) would forgive his
enemies—he shook his head and stamped his foot in
stern denial. 80 passed from this earth, after a life of

THE WAY TO GET A VOTE.
The election foi the borough of M , was close
at hand ; there were two candidates in the field, whose
11 fluence was so nearly balanced tht a neck-and-nack
contest was expected. Under these every .
vote was of consequence, and the utmost exertions were
used by the friends ofboth candidates to draw strangers
I out of their opponent's ranks. Amongst the staunch
1 Supporters of Bir John B , the Tory candidate,
was an irritable old captain, who had threatened to set
j the house dog on any one who might come to a-k him
for his vote for a liberal. The morning before the elect
ion, the o!i captain was woiking in hi* little gulden,
when he petcaivvd a gentleman whistling along
1 the walk.
j -AH! How dy*do, captain ! Nice g"owing morn
: *ng— coming up nicely, l see.” said the *trmnger
j •• !•- a|>f..>.nKoil
*• I beg your pardon, sir, but I really don't remember
; having the honor of your acquaintance; may I be pe
■ mitted to inquire youi business 1” replied the captain,
| drawing himself u(S.
1 44 0 h ! certainly ! I’m canvassing for Sir John B ,
and Ive come to talk with you about vour vole.”
44 I think Sir John might have cbeaen a more civil
mode of requesting my interest.
44 That's get nothing to do with the mutter, air. I'm
here to ask you distinctly, do you mean to give him
1 vour vo'e and interest V* said the stranger, pulling from
i hit pocket a memorandum book.
1 “Bir.”said the captain, getting evidently angry,“my
political opinions arc well known. I have ever sup-
I orted the Britihh constitution in church and state”—
l 44 J cannot allow you to thiik iheqmstion, captain,”
interrupted the stranger.
44 Bhiik.*ir!—what do you mean, sir?” said the
captain, reddening like turkey coc k.
4 * I mean,” replied the other with the utmost cool
ness. **to a*k you again, will you give your vote to
Sir John V*
What! ! suppose you come here to bully me—to
intimidate me—to”—
44 By no mean*, captain; but I must repent mv ques
tion, will you give vour vote to Sir John !—Yes. or
no 1” said the canvasser, waiting, pencil in hand, to
write down the old fellow’s reply.
44 Sir,” said the Captain, who was now in a tower
ing passion, *• 1 consider this a mot ungentle*manly,
insulting, and altogether unwarrantable”—
44 Will you vote for Sir John, captain 1”
“Si r . you may tell Sir John”—
44 That you will vote for him ?”
44 No, sir! F|| set him d—d first. I’|| vote for that
Radical scoundrel, D , whom I hate, just to show
Sir John that I in not to be bullied into mipporiing a
puppy Ike him. Good morning, air! Good morning!”
•• Good morning, captain. Pray don’t get angry ;
it is a matter of no con-equence whatever,** aaid the
stranger, ns he retired, whistling carelessly.
The old captain kept his word, fie was one of the
| fir*t who tendered his vaje at the election on the 1 Al
lowing day.
44 For whom do you vote!” asked the clerk.
“ For Mr. D V* replied the irate captain, with a
look of defiant*# toward* the Tory candidate.
“ Thank you, captain—thank you cried a gentle
man, who wore the liberal colours at hi* bri***t, grasp
mg hit hand cordially. It wa* the very person who
the day before eenvaaeed him on behalf es Hu John.
The captain perceived in an im-tant how he had
oeen hoaxed, hut it wsa too late to remedy hi* mistake;
and, to complete hi* mortification the Radical candi
date to whom he had given his vote was returunl by a
majority of one.

Indian Mkaj. in Giiv. at Bin tain, —The Phila
delphia United Stales (iarette speculates in thi* wise
on the introduction of Indian Corn among the English
and I* i*h people :
Well, when some thousand bushel* of this ‘lndian
corn’ reach the store-houses of England, ami are thence ;
distributed into the mcil-tubs and kneading trough* of
the laborers, and ihe swelling heap show* a double
quantity, foi the s-mir com, of ordinary Amir or incjl,
who shall tII them of it se use? Who shall nay t< the
housewife, * ihus shaft thou mix the matciiul, end so
shall ih'U mould the loaf?’ Who shall enter into the
little laboratory of the workingmen's house, and loc
um the practical chemist upon the affim'ie* of salt
and lard, hot wa'er and Indian meal, end who will tell
; her how long she must submit her combination to the
action of ft 0, that it may bo for the comfort of her
i household ? Alas, she would be a* ignorant of all ihe
aits, parts, and process of that woik, uh were Ihe un
initiated of the Eleusynian mvsteries.
I Home time after IHe introduction of ten into Massa
chusetts, n ritiz-n from Cape Cod came up to Boston,
in trade oflT his fish. T.ie merchant persuaded him to
i take ti pound of lea, among other articles of household
! requirements. 4 * I’ve heard of lUO articl*-,” said the
■ Cape Cod man, “ but how is to bo cooked 1”
• It must be boiled,” said the merchant, •• and is al
ways used when company comes.”
The tea was taken home, and it was resolved k> be
j hospitable. Company vva- invited to spend the day.
At dinner, a fine piece of boiled beef, and another of
good fat poik, wuh an accompaniment of potatoes end
! carrots, gniccd the table. •* And now,” said the host,
ng he looked in triumph first to hi* wife, snd then to
hi* guests, whom he served bountifully with the viand*
I before them, “ help Mrs. Basset to something from that
1 dish.”
TI e pewter spoon wan thrust into a dish of well
boiled t f a leaves, from which the water had been rare- j
frilly strained, and each, from the architrichlinos down j
to the youngest guest, was served with a quantity of’
the Chinese weed, real green Souchong.
“Taste of that,” said the worthy host, “it i* ten,
such as the quality in Boston and 1 iymouth make
such a fuss about.”
Each mumbled a little of tbe herbage, and carefully
rinsed it down with cider, but none veutuied to criti
cise the new addition to the dinner table.
“Will you have some more, my dear?” said the
good lady to the husband.
“Not a leaf more—that plateful cost foir and six
pence. and if it were not for the name of tea, I would
ts lief have turnip top* for my g>eens ae that stuff. It
is monstrous hard chewing, and not over pala’able
after all.”
And a*', or even worse, it may Le in England, with
the corn meal of this country. It may be made up in
to torn*, or mixed in dilution, until poverty eself will
grow kof the ingredients.
Would it not be well, as soon as the adoption by
Parliament of Bir Uobeil Peel’* plan shall he known,
to send messengers on a mission of love and profit to
England, to innlruct housekeepers in the use of Indian
meal ? The New England Envoy Extraordinary shall
teach the people how to mix the rye and corn meal,
and how to build the lolly * loaf of brown bread”—
how to mingle the milk, the molasses and the meal,
(luscious alliteration,) and to compose the “baked pud
ding.” The messenger f;on Maryland would inshuct
in the formation of “pone*,” end he of Virginia lec
ture upon the composition and baking of “hoe cakes,”
and South Carolina instruct in the fabrication and use
of •• johnny cakes.”
And thus the poor, meagre tribe, that hod shrivelled
a| on oat meal gruel, or been drenched by sour flour
and poisoned ale. will grow rugged red and rampant
1 upon the blood-vvarming arid flesh giving mrol of
maize. ‘There, the mountain brown loaf of New Eng
land would make the crazy table of the weaver groan
by it* weight, though it were ever so “ light here
tht‘*pone” snd the ‘johnny cake” would give gr-sce
to the tes equippage of the poor woman, while her
children would grow ruddy and plump upon hasty
pudding and milk. ll<i*ty-pudding !

Correspondence, if the Mercury.
WASHING TON Cl TV. March 30. 1846.
Si: NATH.
Mr. Rusk presented the credential* of bis collogue,
Sam’l Houston q* a Senator fiom Texas; and Mr.
Houston was qualified and took His seat.
Mr. Speight submitted a resolution in accordance
with which ttic Texas Senators were at once classed. |
Three ballots representing terms extending to 47 49, 1
and 61 were pUqpri in a box. from which Mr Rusk |
drew the longest, nJ Mr. Houston the shortest term. |
Among the report* made were the following, viz :
Mr. Jurnngan from the Committee on Pubic Hand
claims, repoited a bill confirming to the heirs of Juliet)
Dubuque, a large tract of laud in lowa.
Mr. Benton from tin: Committee on Military a flairs,
reported the House biil authorising the President to in
crea*e the rank and file of the Army with an amend
ment. The amendment strikes out three and insert*
five in the ninth line, thus making the term of enlist
ment for the years.
The resolution of Mr. Clayton calling on the Pres
ident for further Oregon correspondenc again cumin::
up, Mr. Webster rose uml read some remarks. He
began by expressing a hope that hi* friend from Debt-
I ware would forbear pressing Ins resolution. He (Mr.
I W.) bad no doubt, that letters bad been received from
Mr. McLane, but a* ibe Chairman of the Committee
| on Foreign Affairs, ohj cts to the passage of the res ‘-
! lution, he was bound to suppose that the President
find* some delicacy about making thorn public. Vet
the President sent us una -ked, a part of the correspond
ence on tins subject, and if we were entitled to a part
we ought to have the whole. It was h tvover in his
I opinion a mistake in the President to call upon Con
gress to art untill negotiation* had been exhausted.
: The government was embarrassed by the extreme pre
tentions of the President put forth in his inaugural,
i and repeated in the message. Any one who had oh
set ved the course of public opinion as developed on
both side* of the Atlantic, cannot fail to have perceived
that it had settled down upon the 49:h parallel as the
’ 1 general bams fir an adjustment. Circumstances seem-
I ed to show that Great Britain would consider our offer
of 1826. If this line *eie extruded west to the Pacif
j ic it would give us the valley of the C dumbia. to
which by Gray s discovery we had the best right.
, With 49 as a geneial bat-is, the straits, end islands in
i the adjacent sea*, a- well *sthe navigation of the Colum
bia for a term of years, might be left to negotiation,
j Since thing* are so, why cannot this controversy be
I settled at once. No point of honor i* involved, and it
i cannot be a matter of condescension in either party to
do that now, which both see must be done in the end.
It would ruit his view* if In* bad control of this mat
ter here, to postpone the question of notice for one
month in order to give time for fuither negotiation
which might supersede 6 the necessity of notice. He
would not divide the Henate upon the question howev
er, he only made the suggestion.
As to the resolution directly before the Senate, he
did nut doubt it would be inconvenient to the Prsident
to answer it, and tbeiefore hoped it would not be pres
sed
Mr. Allen said the Senator from Mass, had for the
time taken bis position on this subject, and he bad
taken it with extraordina-y precaution. Three month*
ago we began with the whole of Oregon, at the end of
that time we cam.* down to 49 ; and new three weeks!
later we are to go south of the Columbia. By every |
rule of Legislative progression, if we sit three months
longer we shall give up the whole Territory.
(Mr Hsnnegan said —We had belter do it at once
than settle at the 49tIi parallel.)
Now after the Senator has faltered in action, faltered
• with the House resolution* passed by 3 to l and I over,
and with the whole world looking at u*, we are desired
to postpone for another month. He taw now we were
to have trouble with this Oregon question —if war came
it would be the fault of ihe Senate.
Mr. Webster said if other gentleman (looking at
Mr. Allen) would lake “ extraordinary precaution” in
altering their sentiments upon this grave question it
would not be without advantage. That be had been
thus precise was shown by the missapprehension of the
Senator from Ohio, of what be had said, to have been
a wise precaution.
Mr. J. M Clayton made a few remarks. He would
not press his resolution to day, but thought it ought to
be passed before the Senate acted.
Mr. Barrow then addressed the Senate in favor of a
peaceful settlement of the Oregon question, which he
believed had been wofully mismanaged.
Frotn the Evening New t.
WASHINGTON, March 31, 1840.
After some unimportant preliminary business, the
Senate resumed the consideration of the Oregon notice
resolutions.
Mr. Cns having the floor, spoke for about three
hours in favoi f54 40. As himself. Mr. Allen and
j Mr. Hannegan are the only Senators left who refuse
• to remove from that high position, it is to be expected
t h it each angle of this triangular phalanx will present
Sns sharp a point as possible. Arid in truth Mr. Od*a
blaz and away like a heio who is conscious that he could
win the bat |e, provided he had more men. lie com
menced by expressing his contempt and disregared for
the abuse which he says h is been poured upon him and
others who occupy the same position. Among his re
vilers. he classed Lord Brougham, who he complained,
bad on nnny occasions in Parliament abused Inin in
the lowest lerms. In spite of his disclaimer, however,
the notice he was pleased to lake of these attacks, shows
that he does rate for them.
After further remarks on this hend, he took his stand
upon the hncndsiy of the Bushian line, and contended
that so far as he was concerned, he would not move
an inch. He took the ground that as the oiler of 49
has been repeatedly made by us and rejected hy Eng
land, th it it is no longer our duty to renew it, but that
England ought now to in ike the first advance, JJo nr- ■
gued that noth ng was to be expected from the moder
ation of England, fer her modulation was always pro- i
claimed at the cannon’s mouth. In support of this po- •
sition he took a glance at the presentatate of th* world, 1
.md contended that British bomb shells were hu sling
in eveiy direction, and British artillery revoiberating |
on almost every mountain and valley, where there was
the least optmog for her ambition. He argued siren- :
uou>dy for the notice, and th it without further delay, j
Mr. Asblev bus the floor for to-morrow. The re so- j
iution of Mr. Clay tmi, calling for any recent Oregon
correspondence. was not considered to-day.
In the House a resolution was adopted, altering the
daily hour of meeting from twelve to eleven o’clock.
A resolution was uUo adopted t j close the debate on
the. Bub-Treasury Bill, on Thursday, at nn o'clock.
The consideration of the bill was then resumed in :

C. B. Smith, authorising the Secretary ol the Treas
ury to deposne the revenues in deposits banka, ami to
allow the paper of said banks to be received lor public
dues.
Several other trifling amendments hating been pro
posed, Mr. Cltipriian took the floor, and advocated the
bill, and gav® the late U. H Bank some hjrd blow#.
Mr. J. 11. Ingcrsid! oppoked the bill, and defended
the Hunk.
Mr. Holmes, of your city, next took tfie floor, ami
Grrd a regular broadside at the Bank which Mr. Inger
soli had so much lauded.
Mr. C. J. Ingeraoll followed on the aame ski*. In
the course of his *p* rch he told some amusing incidents
M his life, in which he hod been placed in the riioei
awkward preJicarncnt for the Want of specie.

Sckvk iv Tnr. Capitol,—'The Washington corres
pondent of the Baltimore Patriot, •* Potomacfur
nishes, in a recent letter, the following sketch of a
scene in one of the committee rooms of the capital:
•• Quite an interesting scene occurred to-day in the
room of the Post Office and Post Ronds Committee
of the House of Representatives. This is the room
in which Mr. Homer, the Agent of the British Manu
facturers, has been located for nearly a month past,
with specimens of Manchester good.*, with pricey at
| tached, to aid in the great work of breaking down the
American Tariff! This morning, Mr. Stewart, of the
House, with four gentlemen from Boston. Messrs, J
Page. Livermore, Fay and Hnvev, whom bo and other
Tariff members had invited to com* to Washington
with specimen* of their American good*, that the same
might be compared with the specimen* of British
goods abo ulv exhibited here, visited the committee
room in question.
“ No sooner had the party entered, (ban Mr. Homer
commenced rolling up hi* British specimens, for the ,
purpose of leaving. But Mr. Stewart begged him not
to go. He said it would not be fair thus to leave with- i
out allowing a enmpaiison of the two kind* of goods
to I e made. Mr. Homer still persisted, and said he
bad rather not remain the gentlemen from Boston
might have the room. Mr. Stewart still in-dated that
bo must not go but must remain and aid in the inves
tigation. Finally. Mr. Homer consented to do so.
“ By comparison it appeared, that prints of the same
quality und stamp of those of Manchester, worth 10
cent* per yard, are furnished by the Boston and Low
ell manufacturers at 11 cents —with this difference--
and it is a wide one in favor of the American s de of
the question—the Bti’ish articles arc “ lob Goo I*,”
and 24 incite? in width, while the American are of the
first qunbtv, equivalent to 10 per centum bct'rr titan
the •• Job Goods” of the same ailicle, and are 27 inch
es in width.
••This difference in the width gives to the purchas
er 108 square incite* in the yard, or 24,192 square
inches in n f iecc of 23 yards!
*- Mr. Homer could not get over this ‘fixed fct.’ It
was a stumper! There were the American ami the
British goods, and there were the prices of each
Every one could see and judge for himself.
*• The Boston gentlemen exhibited a very large va
riety of cotton, worsted and silk goods. It was truly
astonishing to behold to what perfection competition.
fostered by a wise and judicious American ‘Tariff, had
brought the manufacture of this description of good*,
a* well as to what low price* they bad be n brought.
Some very thick, daik. and cheeked cotton cloth, suita
ble for gentlemen's summer dress ■*. and so firm that
one could not tear it with hi* hand* in any wav, wa*
priced at only ten cents a yard. A suit—coat, vest
•ud pints—costing only 60 cents ! Some handsome,
durable vestings, finely figured, at 10 Cents each, were
exhibited. Coarse cotton cloths, white, ami of a sub
stantial quality, at 4 cents, were also to bes >en. It i*
a charming idea, truly, that we must break down our
‘Tariff in orJer to get those goods cheaper than we
can now obtain them ! Permanency in the Tariff
System is what our manufacturers want, in order that
they may feel secure in embarking in the manufacture
of finer kind* of fraud*. such as those manufactured
by France. Let Mr. P*>!k succeed in breaking down
our American Tariff to gratify the Briuh and those
who sympathize with the British on thi* subject, and
our capitalists will bo cramped and unable to go on in
their praiseworthy enterprise. ‘This matter demand*
the serious and earnest attention of the whole Ameri
can people.”
We have before published an extract from the speech
of Senator Evans, of Maine, on the Oregon question,
and took the occasion to speak as we thought, of the
ability, fairness and comprehensiveness of his *rgu
ment. We publish another extract to-day, in which
the Senator analyzes the pretensions of the two coun
tries to the territory in dispute, ard desire to cull at
tention to it. as deserving the study of th >se who would
truly understand the whole difficulty in the way of
maintaining our “liile” to the extent affirmed by the
President.
If the Administration Organ had not, bcfrc the
meeting of Congress, put this quea ion in a shape that
distinctly foreshadowed the disastrous Consequences
th;it hi’ e since ensued, and th • still worse that im
pend, we never should have troubled our readers with
the discussion of ibis question. But when the clear
title of the Unit'd States to the whole tei ritory was af
firmed; when all compromise denounced as treachery,
and the manifest result of such a position was wat
it was due to the very magnitude of the question, to
lest the soundness of our pretensions. There could
have been no* diflii ulty but forth h extreme pietension,
am! the deteirninalion manifested to adhere to it. The
difference between the American and British offers of
compromise, could never create a conflict between two
such nations. Reduced to that, the question wo# in
itself a petty one, and one which u little patience was
euro to decide in our f ivor. But when our Govern
ment claimed the whole, and made it n point of honor
to get the whole, with the certainty of involving the
counliy in war by au< h a course, we saw no way of
acting, hut to discuss the question of right. Bet it be
known whether the people of the United State* were
called on to defind what wasclcaiiy ihoir own, or to
invade what belonged to their neighbor. War is bad
enough, even with undeniable justice on our aide; —
without that, it is infamy added to loss and suffering.
Such wn our motive for discussing the title of the IJ.
Btutes to the whole of Oregon. Senator Evans, with
very much the same motive, has taken the same
course. We appeal to his argument, whether there is
not gotfJ grounds fer it Charleston Mercury .
