Tim I' res il cut's IVXcstiige CoiiiiiiiiuiciiliiiK Iiis Approval of tUc Oregon liill. To the House of Representatives of the United Slates: When the Fresident has piven his official sanction to a bill which has passed Congress, upago requires that he 9h.1l notify tlie House in which it originated, of that fact. The mode of giving this notification has been by an oral message delivered by his private Secretary. Having tlit-j day approved and signed an act entitled, "An act to establish the territorial government or Oregon," I derm it proper, under tho existing circumstances, to communicate the fact in a more solemn form. The deeply-interesting and protracted discussions which have taken place in both houses of Congress, and the absorbing interest which the subject has excited throughout the country, justify, in my judgment, this departure from the form of notice observed in 01 her cnca.

In this communication with a co-ordinate branch of the government, made proper by the considerations referred to, I shall franklv, and without reserve, express the reasons which have constrained me not to withhold my signiture from the bill to establish a government over Oregon, even though the two terri tories of New Mexico and California are to be left, for the present, without governments. None doubt that it is proper to establish a government in Oregon. IndeeJ, it has been too long delayed. I have made repeated reeommend itions to C mures to this ell'.ct. The petition! of the? poopl? of that distant region have lern presented to the government, and ought not to le disregarded. To give to them a regularly organized government and the protection of our Jaws:, which as citizen- of the United States they claim, is n high duty on our part, und on; which wc are tviund to perform, utiles there be controlling reasons to prevent it. In the progress of ail governments, questions of Puch traiisceiitleut imp rtance occasion illy arise, as to cast 111 the shade all those of a mere party character, Utit cii'! such question run now bo agitated in this country ; and this may endanger Mir glorious IJiii'Mi. the source of our grratm's, nnd all our politirul , blessings, This question is slavery. With the slave holding States tins does not embrace merely the righ's t of property, however va!t::ih!e; but it nseends fir I higher, and involves tue domestic peace and security j of every family. ; The fathers of the constitution tin wise and pa- j triotic nun who laid the fmndati n of our instilu- I lions foieseemg the danger from this quarter, acted 1 in a spirit f rwnproniise nnd mutual i-once-ioo on j this dangerous and delicate sulject ; and their wisdom j ought to be the guide i f their successors. WhiNt ! they left to the Suites exclusively the question of do- j tuest ic slavery within their respective limits, they provided thai slaves who intent carnpe into other States not recognizing the institution of slavery, ili;il. 'be d'diven I up on the claim of the party o whom such K-rvice or labor nr.y be d.iv." Upon this foundation the matter rested ontil the "Misfoun question arose. In December, Id ID, application was made to Congress by the people, of the Mim uri Territory f. r admission into the Union as a State. The discussion

upon the subject in Congress involved tho question of that any ground s-h uld have been furnished for charslavery, and was prosecuted with such violence as to tcteriztiig parties hv geographical discriminations produce excitements alarming to every patriot in the j-ml'i ru and snuihtrn, Alli'ilic and western; whence Union. IJut the good genius of conciliation which designing men may endeavor to excite a belief that presided at the birth of our institutions finally prevail- there is a real difference of 1 cal interests and view s.

cJ, and th; Missouri compromise was ad apted. The eighth section of the act of Congress of ihe fnh of .March, lVlu, 'Mo authorize the people ot the Missouri Territory to fnn a constitution and State government," ccc, provides: That, m all that territory ceded by Trance to the United States, under the name of Lousiaua, which lies north of thirty-six degrees nnd thirty minutes north latitude, not included w ithin the limits of the State contemplated by this act, slavery and involuntary servitude, otherwise than in t!e punishment of crimes, whereof thu parties shall have been duty convicted, shall he, nnd is hereby, , fircver prohibited: lro tided irVay.v, That any person ' escaping into tin? same, from whom labor or service is law f illy claimed in any State or Territory of the United States, sech fugitive may be lawfully reclaim- j ed, and conveyed to the person claiming Iiis or her ( services aforesaid." ; This compromise had the effect of calming the ! troubled waves, and restoring peace and good will ! throughout the States of the Union. The Missouri question had excited intense agitation of the public mind, and threatened to divide tho country in'o geographical parties, alienating the feelings of attachment which each portion of our Union should bear to every other. The compromise allayed the excitement, traiiqoihzed the popular mind, and restored confidence and fraternal feeling. Its authors were hailed as public benefactors. I do not doubt tint a similar adjustment of tho j question whic'i now annate me public nnrvi would i produce the same happv results. If the legislation cf Congress on the FuLjcct of the other Territories enau not De au )piri in a spirit tu conciliation and , It. 1 1.1 ' . 1 I t! compromise, it is impossible that the country can In I satisfied, or that the most disastrous consequences I shall fail to ensue. 1 When Texan was admitted info the Union, the ! . - t 9 1 am? oini or comuromtse w ncti ruided our nrrrie-! ccssors in the admission of Missouri, a quarter of a century before, prevailed without any serious opposition. The ''joint resolutijti fur annexing Texas t ) tli'! United Stales," approved March the lirt, one thousand eight hundred and forty-live, provides that stich States a may be firmed out of that portion of said Terr.tory lying south tli.r'.y-six degrees thirty minutes north latitude, commonly known as the .Mi soon compromise line, shall be admitted into the I

me union 1 rom eaco inner , uuu 10 enuaugcr me ex-, istence f the Union itself f From the adoption of the federal constitution, during a period of sixty years, our progress as a nation has been without example in the nnuais of history. Under the protection of a bountiful Providence, we have; advanced with giant strides in the career of wealth and prosperity. We have enjoyed the blessings of freedom to a greater extent than any other p-'ople, ancient or modern, under a government which has preserved order, and secured to every citizen life, liberty, and property. We have now become an example fr imitation to the whole world. The friends of freedom in every clime point with admiration to our institutions. Shall we, then, at the moment when the people, of Europe are devoting all their energies in the attempt to assimilate their institutions to our own, peril all our blessings by despising tho lessons of experience, and refusing to tread in the footsteps which our fathers have trodden ! And for what cauc would we endanger our glorious Union ! The Misfcouri compromise contains a prohibition of slavery throughout oil the vast region extending twelve and a half d grees along the Pacific, from the parallel of thirty-MX degrees thirty minutes to that of forty-nine decrees, and cast from that ocean to and beyond the tejmmit of the Rocky mountains. Why, then, should our institutions be endangered because it is proposed to eubrnit to the people of the remainder of our newly acquired territory lying south of thirty-six degrees thirty minutes, embracing less than f nir degrees of latitude, the question whether, in the language of the Texas compromise, they "shall be admitted (as a State) into the Union with or without slavery 1" Is this a question to bo pushed to such extremities by excited partisans on ihe one side or the other, in regard to our newly acquired distant possessions on the Pacific, as to endanger the union of thirty glorious States which constitute our confederacy I I have nn abiding confidence that the sober refection and sound

patriotism of the people of all the States will bring them to the conclusion that the dictate of wisdom is

to follow the example of those who have gone before us, and Fettle this dangerous question on the Missouri compromise, or gome other equitable compromise, which would respect the rights ot all, and prove satisfactory to the different portions of the Union. Holding 39 a sacred trust the Executive authority for this whole Union, and bound to guard the rights of oll, I should bo constrained by a sense of duty, to wi'hhold my official sanction from any measure which would conflict with theo important objects. I cannot more appropriately cloc this messe ge than by quoting from the Farewell address of the Father of hii country. His warning oice can never be heard in vain by the American people. If the spirit of prophecy had distinctly presented to his viov, more than naif a century ngo, tho present distracted condition of his country, the language which he then employed, could not have been more appropriate than it is to the present occasion. He declared : The unity of government, which constitutes you one people, is also now dear to yon. It is justly so; for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad, of your safety, of your prosperity, of that very liberty which you so highly prize. Hut ns it is easy to foresee that from different causes, and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed, to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth us this is the point in your political fortress against which the batteries of internal and extern.il em-uues will be most constantly and actively (though often covertly and insidiously) directed it is of infinite moment that you should properly estimate the immense value of your national titii n to your collective and individual happiness; that yon should cherish a cordial, habitual, nnd immovable attachment to it ; accustoming yourselves to think und speak of it as 11 palladium of your political safety and prosperity; watching fr its preservation with jt alous anxiety; discountenancing whatever may suggest even u suspicion that it can in any vent he abandoned ; and indignantly frowning upon the first dawning of every attempt to nlienite any portion of oor country from the irt, or to enfeeble tin sacred ties which now l;nk together the various parts. For this you have every inducement of sympathy nnd interest. Citizens by birth or choice of a com. mon country, that country has a right to concentrate yoir affections. The name Amkuican, which belongs to you in your national capacity, must always exalt the just pride of patriotism more than any appellation derived from h-cal discriminations. With slight hades of difference, you have the same religion, manners, habits, and political principles. Von have in a common cause foujht nnd triumphed together, The independence nnd liberty you possess are the work of joint councils and joint ttUitti, ot common dangers, MiUcrines, ami cce-t. " Will such powt'iful and obvious motives to union, affecting all parts of our eountry, while experience shall i.ot have demonstrated its impracticability there will always he reasons to distrust the patriotism of those who, in anv quarter, may ei'deuver to weaken its fand. " In contemplating tin causes which may disturb oi:r Union it occurs as a matter of serious concern, One of he expedients of party to acquire inlltienrce within particular districts, is to misrepresent the opinions and aims ot oilier lisiricis. x u cannoi shield yourselves too much against the jealousies and hear; burnings which spring from these misreprcsenta, tions. They tend to alum to each other those who ought to bo bound together by fraternal affection. J.Mi:S K. POLK. Washington, August 1 1, lH. From the Union. TI10 IVliig iiuil liieir Candidate. General Taylor continues to kick the poor deluded whig party about, as if it were his foot-ball. The southern mail brings us he last cuff which he has adimnis'crd to them. It comes in the shape of a lettor to a friend in Charleston, the following extract of which we copy from the Charleston Mews of the Kith inst : Eztract 0 a letter from General Tcylor to a friend in this city: "I never had any aspirations for ihe presidency, nor have 1 now, farther than the wishes of my Iriends are concerned in the matter; nor would 1 have it on any other term than I stated when tho subject was first agitated, which is, that my acceptance tiiudl bs without pledges or being trammelled in tiny way, so that I could be the President of the whole nation and not ol a party. "I have accepted the nomination of the Plnladelphia Convention, as welt as the nomination of many primary assemblies gotten up in various sections of the Union, in Borne instances irrespective of party; and xcould hate accrpted the nomination of the Baltimore Contention, had it been tendered on the samt terms. lam now fully if no fairly, bdbre the country as a candidate for the chief magistracy; and if it should be my good or bad fortune to bo elected, 1 trust my course will besuch, lor the most rt aa regards the management of our national affairs, ns ill met i ihe pproh uiom.f my fdl-w citiz im. Should fflltf f ;i ! I fll ills kit fill! IA. I II I tl frr in vet If Li vu tit ' J ;"- clnrity to aun'outu my errors lo thu head, and not to the heart. Very recpecWuIly, your friend, Z.TAYLOR. Surely this is cruel and unusual punishment" upon t .e whig K)!ii icians ! Not only does General Taylor dace the l'hiladelph.'a nomination upon precisely the same footing with the "baker's dozen" of any party and no partv nominations which he had beforo 1 .it. i i .it . i accepted, but he goes larmer, and le.is me wiiigs nominee itfart and jcwrthal (iem-ral Tay lor recognises in Ins friends in this convention those, icho hate the right to irithdraio his name, and teilt cheerfully acquiesce in such tcithdratcal. "In case the choice of this convention shall fall on another than Ccii. Taylor, and Ins friends in this convention withdraw him, it will he their act, and not his, but in which he will cheerfully acquiesce; and by the act of uniting icith this contention, his friends withdraw his name from the cancast, unless he be the nominee vf the convention." fl And now, having obtained the whig nomination by this explicit avowal made in his behalf, that his name would be icithdraun from the canvass if he were not made the whig nominee, he turns round and tells the whigs that their nomination is just as good as any other that he has received, and 710 better that it pledges him to nothing, and that he would have taken the Baltimore nomination on the same terms. Who can for a moment suppose that General Taylor could have obtained, or hoped to obtain, the Philadelphia nomination, if Judge Saunders, instead of saying what he did Bay there, had just got up and read this Charleston letter and then had taken his seat ! Had this been done, the whiga at Philadelphia would in inasg have scouted the idea of giving General Taylor the nomination. And what can be said for the good faith of a candidate, who, after he is nominated, thus turns his back upon the pledges which, being made in his behalf, and obtained him the nomination, were afterwards sanctioned by him I What motive has the whig party to strive for his election! What ground lias the country for believing that he can, as a politician, be safely trusted ! All ahme of consistency has, beyond a doubt, been abandoned in the scries of General Taylor's letters. Has tho substance of good faith with his party been preserved 1 fcv""A regard tr whig principles fvrbids the nomination of General Taylor." ludlvm SUic Journal April, ISIS.

T.r.,i mau u,.m me t.y wie i-iuteiis o. ...y and other counties, induce me to present 1 the public through the columns of your paper, what I deem to be a faithlul narrative of ihn part tuken by thu d reiuieiit of Indiana Volunteers in the battle of Uuena Vista, on ihn 201 and Ü3J of February, lb!7, in the Uenubhc of Mexico. 1 suppose it probable that some in our country from what 1 can learn from the public news and rumors of the, dtiy, are inclined to come to the conclusion lhat I should have made nr effichl report of the doings of the 2d Indiana regiment on thee eventful dnys. 1 was only the L1eut.C0l.td the Keiment, consequently, it would have been assuming a province lhat did not belong to me, to have made n repoit unless 1 had been called upon by my superior officers. And bunco if the public mind has received a wrong bias from Mny of the official reports of that day, or of any slat meiil that tins huco been made to the public, it is no fault of miuo. As to the part I took or nclcd in the trumuictious of those two days, lor mynell I am perfectly satisfied that my own reputation be left with thoso who know me and the candid everywhere. A d ent respect lor truth, requires at my hand the following narrative, in vindication of tho Ud Indiana regiment, from the unjust aspersions cast upon them, as to the p'irt ncted on the 2oM. Permit me here to add, that the 1.M Indiana regiment for bravery and patriotism was not excelled hv ny 011 that occasion, not w iihst.inilmg they, for a short period of time, retieated from the fierreII ess of the notion. Hut that even was not done, only in obedience to the repealed onler ol their Colonel. On the morning of the ij'Jd February, we wire informed the enemy were in siht Advancing, at the same time received orders to foiui our regiment lr immediate -lion. Our regiment wa ipuckly formed and inarched forward to position nhoiit one mile and a hall in front of our camp, occupviu; the extreme left of our line ol inland v, though near a half mile in ihr rer of the line.

About ne o'clock, in obedience to order the l o nth: companies of the .d Indiana regiment, of Captains Oboru and Walker were detached, together with the two ritle coinnituies of the od Indiana regiment iimlo the command of Mnjor (oriuan, and moved to the h it to join a portion of the Kentucky iii'niiti'.l ullemeii mult r the eomriuoid of Cot.

Throwing my force farther to tho right for the purpose of gaining a nearer position to tho point from which we had fallen back, I found Col. Davis's Mississippi regiment formed across a ftnall bottom on the large ravine down which our regiment had previously retreated. Here 1 found Gen. Lano and Col. Ilowle. I was informed these troops had jusi hid a hcv ere engagement and had been compelled to fall back on account of the enemy's overwhelming numbers. Gen. Lane ordered me to form mv command on tho MisHusippimn whose number appeared about equal to ours, and lhat 1 must command them (the 1 Indiana regimerit .J I here found a few of our men among the Mississippi regiment, I ordered them to form with uur own

regiment. Col. Lane's 3d Indiina regiment was here rWered to join ut, nnd als S pieces of Capt. Sherman's battery. These three regiment under thu command of (leneral Line, moved to tho left to engage a large force; of the enemy's infantry and cavalry that had taken posi. ti)m jt fl ()f Inolnt.in 0, a,livil);, in muet rang., a severe fire was opened by both sides and kept up . , , r ' i 1 1 i- 'n until u order to ceae firing readied us from Cim. lay- . r .1 1 . 1 .1 lor 111 consequence of a ling bemc Bent lorn Horn the ene-

The cavalry ( commenced a rapid move towards us. We threvV our force pome 300 yards back on a tongue of land, with our j right (the 3d Indiana regiment) resting on a deep ravine j and the U J Indiana and Mississippi regiments forming the angle on the left and occupying the whole space between the two ravines. The enemy were still coming forward rapidly and 111 neautiiul order, uur loire tdood firmly and silently waiting orders to fire nnd we had frequently to call to them not to fire. 1 perceived the enemy's gait beginning to slacken, und he seemed almost ready to halt, win n within about b'O yards. Our whole line open, ed a simultaneous tire which was so dentrm tive the eurvivnrs fled precipitately back towards the mountain. A piece of artillery coining up at the moment followed them with a galling fire until they had fled beyond reach. Shortly after this we were ordered to co-operate with a detachment of our artillery ami cavalry in an attack upon the enemy at tlie base of the mountain. After advancing some distance parallel to this detachment when we worn ordered to halt. While waiting tho movement of the dctiichmeiil we heard a heavy tiring 011 our right, and received orders to march to that part of tho field. We moved r'ipidly to thu point indicated and to which we were guided by the heavy firing in that direction. After advancing near hall a mile and climbing the rocky slope before us we came suddenly oil a large force of the client's infantry advancing towards Captain Hrngg's battery, which was near mi oor iilit,;tnd pursuing n portion of troops who were retreating towards Washington's battery. Our line still consisting o ihe '2 1 and 3d Indiana regimen's and .Mississippi regiment, opened a sudden and destructive fire in their right ll nk and raking Iii hues which caused them lo give wny in confusion. This was the last contcht of'the 'J3d, and tho 2d Indiana regiment, I confess toirpasstd my expectations. In every contest in which they were engaged they would not only engage with the fuinuckS and steadiness of bra ve men, liut with an eagerness and determination that by their conduct they would wip- from their name the stain of the disorderly retreat and ihe conduct of those who fled and tlid tod leturn at 1 1 . And these men, the inot of them, would have lelurncd had their cdtirers who fled with them used the ptopcr exertions to have brought llieui back. Cid. How ies, Orr our junction with the 3d Indiana and Mississippi regiments, continued with us throughout tho day, but took no part in the command ol his regiment. Miijor Crave. is at this time rejoined his regiment and continued with it, efficiently performing his duty throughout the day. Capt. Kimball ami adjutant tshanks also joined us here.
