But the granting of lauds, or the erection of military post, north of the river, or the admission of Oregon as a Territory, or State, we are assured will j be considered cause of war by Great Britain.

We can prepare for war ; and then erect military pots, and make grants north of the river, and extend our authority over it as a Territory, or a State. And the time for doing earh of these things, as well as otlvr acts of sovereignty, cannot be Ion i DostDJned. and mav be prociintated dtirinr the coining voir even dunn- the present session of Congress.

The expression therefore, used in transmitting tl:e communication of Mr. Butler to the GcneTaJ Assembly, in which he was described as the authorized nrrent of a very large body of the holders of the bonds of the State of Indiana, was not intended to intimate that he had been constituted auch agent under the formal hand and seal of all the bondholders, but it is almost a literal quotation from a letter addressed to me by Mr. Palmer of the house uf Palmer, Maekillop, Dent & Co., a gentleman of high standing for character and knowledge of finance, dated New Vork, on the 0th of February last, and in which, on the part of the alsive named houses, representing such bondholders, and fully empowered for that purpose, I w as duly advised that Mr. Hutler was appointed such agent. My personal interviews with Mr. Butler, the inspection of his correspondence with his employers, which he has freely submitted to me, aud my knowledge of and confidence in his character, in connection with the letter of Mr. Palmer, satisfy flag of his abundant authority lo act in the premises. But although it is obvious that Mr. Butier's powers in the premises have not (nor indeed could thev have) the technical formality required for the conveyance of lands, or for the performance of any other legal and binding act between individuals ami ply, vet it is r spectfully submitted that thev are abundantly sutlii eient for the object iu view7: It is conceived to be entirely manifest that the condition of our finances cannot be resuscitated, w ithop.t a liberal arrangement between the State and her cred itors. Before eucb nn arrangement can be mnde, wc must know what w ill be acceptable to our creditors. Mr. Butler! authority, it is believed, is sufficient for that I purpose ; for there is scarcely a doubt that whatever he agrees to, will by the advice of the houses through whom our bonds were negotiated, be acceded to bv the bondholders. The arfangutnent would be ottered ill the snpo of an act of the GreneraJ Assembly, and provision might be made, that it should not be oieratire as to any hondnolder, until his bonds were snrrendered and a new certificate of stock Kfleoed under tho m ulifieations of tlm new arrangetnent. This would constitute the final and unchangeable assent of, the creditor, and would obviate and preclude all danget that might arise from the want of a technical power on the part of the agent. The arrangement made between the State of Illinois and a portion of her creditors, was based on the authority of the agent of the crnditore, no stronger or more f rnial than that now held by Mr. Butler. I cannot omit the exweeeion of a ntmnjr wish that tin Legislature nay find it to comport with their r l 4 l . 1 . .1 i' l ense ol duty to listen, at least, to the final proposie 'i i ij .t i tit i, i , t ion of our bondholders through (Mr. Butler, (and .... . , i i- i .i i . 1 1 . i .
