' -, : ' j-r CO-The Rusbville "J,icksoiyan of the 1st inst., Contains an article in relation to a letter of "Timo- , Icon," published in the Semi-weekly Sentinel of the ' 2 Ith ult. That letter intimated that certain Senators. ! tritt were exaggerated at the terms cf the settlement ,.r.u.n .M.i :-,t.: ( , , . , ,, -, , the passage of tlie tariff, and would act with the Wrhig3 in other matters. The "Jacksoniau" serves, that it would rtot. perhaps have noticed these "stlanflem" had not the letter been D.iblihed bv us , t ,r , , i' with " our silent endorsement." Iow our declared ( rue always lias tcen, tiiai we co nor noio ourselves responsible fur the statements of any correspondent. "Timoleon" forms no exception to this rule. He is a man of integrity and honest intentions, so far as ' we are able to jud 'e: and as to his statements about e . . .. matters at Washington, how could we properly either j o ii i endorse or invalidate them, until time and events confirmed or disproved them! Our desire and design is to give tha people the truth, let it affect whom it may; and in order to do this, it is necessary to allow our correspondents freedom of speech, they being responsible for the same. As to the particular rumors tvith which he made us acquainted, and which the Jacksonian scourges him for, they were very freely spoken of and commented upon by other writers, as well as by Timoleon." Even the Washington "Union," usually so cautious, spoke of "loose screws" in the Senate. Under such circumstances We thought it best to publish the letter, whether the rumors alluded to should turn out true or false, as a measure of safety to our party, and of caution to any who stood in need of it. Two wrongs don't make a right; and though the Oregon question may have been settled unsatisfactorily to us, and wrongfully to the country, it would not justify any man in hostility to other rightful measures as a means of recenge. The Jacksonian names Messrs. Hanneran and Brifht as among others to whom the imputations noticed by Timoleon" may be supposed to apply. So far as both these gentlemen are concerned, we have full confidence that such an application would be unjust. As to Mr. Hannegan especially, we know that he feels, and feels deeply, that the just claims of our country in Oregon have been shamefully and unnecessarily sacrificed; and he, like ourselves, is somewhat free of speech in tlie face of wrong; but we are certain that he, and every other Democratic Senator who contended for Oregon for the sake of Oregon, will still occupy their position with the Democratic flag at their head, and on it every principle of the party will be inscribed and preserved. . 0O"O the 1st instant, ti e nomination of the Hon. James Buchanan as onc of the Judges of the Supreme Court, was made to the Senate by the President. He lias consequently taken leave of the State Department. 0O"atny of our exchange papers in thi State copy our extra which wc recently sent to them, without tlie slightest acknowledgement of the source of their information. Tins course on their part has almost discouraged us from making any future efforts for their accommodation, f his meanness is too much a custom, and is as unpardonable as it is mean. We are determined to tolerale it no Joiner.

A Christian lVliig. The editor of the Tippecanoe Journal professes to be a christian. That he is a whig and an abolitionist, we believe none will deny. In that paper cf the iJd inst. we find the following paragraphs, which show what to us appears to be a curious kind of chrUtianity, to say the least ; and when we say that these paragraphs present a fair sample of the general character of that sheet, we but hold up a mirror wherein federal whiggcry may see its hideousncss.

Go it. Major ! Officers for the Army. The nominations of Gen. Taylor as Major General of the U. S. Army, and of Colonel Butler as Major General of Volunteers, have been confirmed by the Senate. Col. Kearney and Col. Twiggs are confirmed as Brigadier Generals of the Army, under the act of the lGth. Messrs. J. L. Ilamcr, ot Ohio; Gen. Pillow. of Tennessee ; Marshall, of Kentucky ; Quitman, of Mississippi; Shields, of Illinois; Joseph Lane, of Indiana arc confirmed as Brigadiers of Volunteers. Every body will be glad that the President nominated the brave Taylor for promotion. The Union of the 19th contains a long list of appointments of subordinate Volunteer officers which had been confirmed by the Senate. Among the list is the following applying to Indiana. Samuel P. Mooncy, to be Quartermaster, with the rank of major. Robert Mitchell, John Ne.T, and Elanson W. Enos, to be assistant Quartermasters, with the rank of Captain. Dclana R. Eckels, Christopher C. Graham, and Newton Hill, to be assistant Commissaries, with the rank of Captain. Cockts Martial. It is said' that the President has ordered Gtn. Gaines to be tried by Court Martial, on charges growing out of his recent movement at the South in calling into service volunteers to prosecute the war against Mexico, and that he is now under arrest awaiting the organization and convening of the Court. - It' is atao stated that Colonel Gates, of the U. S. army, has been ordered to the Rio Grande, as a member of the Gcrrerai Court Martial, to try Col. Whistler, cf the infantry, and Captain Thornton,: of the dragoons, under arrest by order of Gen. Taylor. . Great Coxflagratiox. On the 12ih inst. a grca1 fire occurred at St. Johns, Newfoundland,; by which two thirds of the town was destroyed, aaj. 12t00 persons rendered houseless. The loss is estimated at near ,.",0('0,000. Only three lives lost artillery men, who were engaged in blowing .up buildings in order to arrest the devouring element. . St. Johns suffered severely from fire during the thrco successive year, 1810, 1317, and 1913. On the first occasion 130" houses were burned, the pecuniary loss amouuting to upwards of 100,000, and 150 persons driven to teck for habitations. . '

Scott and liaiiics. We give below the "opinions" cf Generals Scott and Gaiues of each otl.tr;, as expressed in their own words, in tho.r recent l.-tters. As the Harrisburgh Union remarks, these extracts 6how how very little rtlhnce could be placed upon those gentlemen, if their joint services were required in the field. It is extremely mortifying to sec men who once enjoyed tha confidence of their fellow citizens, for the gallant fervices they had rendered their country, now cmployed in d grading each other, Cm. Scott Ortaio or Cm. Gaixxs. "If I had

been placed upon a court or jury Ij try Gen. G in the '. last ten or more yearn, for any crime conduct u;.hecinin; an otlicer and gentleman, mutiny, breach of order, or murJcr I hou!d bave acquitted him, no matter bow clear the proof of .the crime,ot the gnnnd vf partial intimity at leant t and hence it would be against honor and humanity to ak to hare him brought to trial. The rcmeJy lr General Gaines' irregularities, aiiini mainly, as I am in charity bjuod to suppose, from insanity, or dotage, is to place biro on an indefinite leave of absence.. 'If lit enurte I have repeatedly recommendtd in the last three yeart. " Respectfully submitted to the Secretiry of War. "W'ixriiii Scott." GtXERAL GaiXEs's OMXIOX OF GcSEKAL ScOTT. Hain; good reason to believe that my claim will be opposed by Major General W' in field Scott, an officer who has been fir many years my junior, who I am sure has labored for more than a quarter of a century past with far more zeal to cover me wiib calumny and defeat my efforts to be employed in any service, likely to redound to the safety end glory of my country than he has ever labored to provide fr the national defence and to defeat the invading foe, I have determined to submit my claim to the President uf the Unr.ed States and thi Secretary of War, confidently trusting to their know n wisdom and justice fur a decision which will prove to the army and the nation, that the rights of the unpretending toltliir, always fiund upon the frontier when menaced by wars, will be as much respected s thoee of the political tactician, long accustomed to ciinge and crouch in and aoct the polt'ical metropolis, sacrificing the interests and honor of the service at the shrine of that morbid thirst for the Presidency, which has unhappily fot a long time past turned the heaJs of many chiefs of cliques from their appropriate pursuits, to the great annoyance of tbe good people of tbe Union, and the neglect of their best interests a thirst for high office which hat in some cliques raced even more in favor of the British views of abolitionism than for placing our own seaports in a state of defence against tbe assaults of LUitish war steamers." 07-In reply to a complimentary address from the Louisiana Legislature, General Gaines alludes to his services during tlc late war in the following terms. It will bo seen tharhc gives the credit of the victory of Lundy's Lane to Brown, and not to Scott: "When in the year 1S1 1, at the head of the crippled remnant of Brown's gallant division, while that master spirit of the Northern frontier was bleeding under the wour.ds w hich his achievement of the rictory of Lundy's Lane cost him, I lnd the proud satisfaction of mectinjr, at the head of that division, upon the Canada side of Lake Erie, near double our number of experienced British veterans, and beating them in twenty-three conflicts, 0:1 twenty-three different days and nights, for which we were honored by the unanimous thanks cf Congress and a gold medal, the unanimous thanks of the Legislature of the State of New York, with a gold hiked swoad of honor, and similar tol;en3 t f high approbation, from Virginia, my native State, and Tennessee, my adopted State ; tokens of high approbation more acceptable to me than all the gold of Teru, with the princely honors of an empire could ever be. River Improvements. On the 20th ult. in the U. S. Senate, Mr. Calhoun presented the report of the Select Committee on the memorial and proceedings of the Memphis Convention, lie said that as the resolutions adopted by that Convention embraced a great variety of subjects, the committee had confined themselves to a few of the more important of these. Their at.cntion had been chiefly directed to the improvement of the Mississippi river. The committee were unanimously of the opiuion that Congress has the power, under the constitution, to improve rivers and regulate the commerce between the States. With the exception cf a single member cf the committee (Mr. Barrow) they were also unanimous in the opinion that this power is limited to improvements of the channel of the river. The member who dissented w as of the opinion that the power extended to the shores and harbors. A bill authorizing the appointment of a Board of Engineers to survey the Mississippi river, with a view to tbe improvement of its channel, &c, accompanies, the report, and was read twice. The whole subject was postponed, to be taken ! up on a day fixed. .Mr. axd Mns. JerraoN. The marriage of these persons is still the subject of frequent and free comment in the Eastern papers. The Boston Transcript replies to a letter writer in the Christian Watchman, who endeavors to excuse the ill-assorted match. The letter asks : "Do they suppose a man, and especially a missionary, can procure a suitable companion just as easily, and in as little time, as would be necessary in procuring a suitable travelling trunk 1" The editress of the Transcript says: " Dr. Judson (who is well known to be a missionary) has found on this third trial that it is 'as easy, and takes as little time to get a companion, as to pack some travelling trunks. "In another part of this same letter, the writer states that Miss Chubbuck by her writings supported her needy father and mother.' This certainly was a most proper evidence of filial affection and duty. Who can we support belter than those to whom we owe our very existence and the care of our helpless infancy. It furnishes only another source of wonder that being so necessary to the comfort of her parents, she could be induced to go so far from them, and take upon herself the care of those who were not her own, especially after so short an acquaintance with the father of those 'little motherless children, albeit an estimable man and devoted missionary." Five Judges in Prison. An extraordinary affair has taken place at Frankfort, Ky. It appears that at the June term of the Franklin county Court in IS 13, the justices removed the jailor and ap.xunted another. The displaced man with the aid of his friends, took an appeal from this action of the county court up to the court of appeals, which, after a hearing, issued its mandate directing his restoration. This the county court refused to do ; and the justices, five in number, were cited to appear before the court of appeals, to show cause why they did not enter and carry into effect the mandate sent to them, and the five refusing to appear, they were thrown into prison. They were subsequently released by virtue of writs of habeas corpus. The action cf the court of appeals is scandalous in the highest degree. All this prostitution of their functions being made through a deterininination to keep a whig jailor in office, contrary to the wishes of the inferior court, which by law had a right to remove and appoint. Cincinnati Advertiser. We have received. the first number of a new Weekly paper under the above title, w hich takes the place of the Ohio Union and Cist's Advertiser." It is edited by Charles B. Brough, who will be assisted in his duties by II. S. Knapp and Charles Cist. This is a talented and industrious trio, and we have no doubt that the Advertiser, under their management will be an interesting and efficient paper. In politics we presume it will be radically Democratic. . . ... ' The Knoxville (Tenn.) Tribune brings forward John Bell, of Tennessee, as the Whig candidate for the Presidency in IS W. This is the third or fourth candidate already named on that side. CrWe don't endorse the statements by the cor respondent of the Journal of Commerce, in another column. We thought them worth copying, however. .S'juperceded. as Gen. Scott said when Mr. Polk told him he might remain at Washington, an ' 'Old Rough-and-Rcady fighf the Mexicans. id let

one mile above tlie city of rev Albany. It is on a beautiful plain, terminated on one side by the bank of the. Ohio, and on the other, shaded by the foliage of forest trees. Two regiments are within its tented cirvle, the other having spread their white pavilions 1 ..: 1 .1 t oa the green plain near the City. Louisville and Jeffersonville lie three miles above, and within sight is the terminus cf the ever-rolling falls of tlie Ohio. Here then is the encampment of a partcf our chivalry. While my eye ranges this hehl of my tented countrymen, my mind runs over 'the last eventful month. But a month and our people were slumbering in that quietude which has held its peaceful dominion over us for more than thirty years. In the midst of that happy repose, our ears were stunned by the roar of cannon, and our own free air was laden with the dying wails of our murdered brethren. The acknowledgement by Congr3 of the existence of the war a requisition for three regiments from Indiana, and an appeal by our Governor, were almost simultaneously thrown upon us. Without military Organization without a division, brigade or regiment to order ouH to beat up for volunteer's without a dollar for subsisting, clothing and transporting our troops, we oppealcd to the individual patriotism of the people,-knd what has been the result! Indiana, born into the great sisterhood since the last' echo of Jackson's cannon at New Orleans had ceased to reverberate through her then dense solitudes', was seen rising almost en marge. The fife and drum poured "Hail Columbia" and Yankee Doodle" on every breeze, and on the 20th ult., in an almost incredibly short time, our host arrived at this camp, not one of tlie thirty flags being absent. Cn the evening after election, the three colonels elect, holding commissions of even date, determined the number of their regiment and their own rank by lot drawn in presence of his Excellency and the Adjutant General, which number indicating the rank of the commandant, I have since prefixed to each regiment. The following is a list of the commissioned officers of each regiment, to-wit : 1st Regiment James P. Drake, Colonel; C. C. Nave, Lt. Colonel ; Henry S. Lane, Major. 2d Rrgiment Joseph Lane, Colonel ; William R. Iladdon, Lt. Colonel; James A. Cravens, Major. Ii Regiment James II. Lane, Colonel: William McCarty, Lt. Colonel ; Willis A. Gorman, Major. ! Some excitement prevailed before aud during the above elections ; but now, every thing so frr as 1 can learn, is satisfactorily arranged, so far at least as could be expected. Brig. General Wool has ordered the troops to be ready to leave our shores early next week perhnps on? regiment may leave the last of this week, and the other two during the coming week. The only difficulty will be the getting of steamers for transportation. General health prevails throughout the camp, no one of ntarly three thousand men, having fallen! by disease. Each company has or will have an additional second lieutenant, elected under the supplemental bill, j And now, when I look over this vast array of my countrymen, and see men whom I have lung known, who left the plow, the tool, and the pen, and turned a tearful eye on friends and home, bidding each adieu perhaps a final adieu; when I look over the long list of companies, unable to report in time to be accepted, not that they were slow, but that the fortunate thirty, moved with unanticipated celerity; when I remember the anxiety of the brave company from old Franklin, which, though advised through their captain by me that they were "No. 1 in the Reserve," came on to the encampment in tlie hope that they might get into the service on the contingency of a failure of one of the thirty companies, and that on seeing the flag of ea-h of the thirty at the set lay, they furled their own, and clothing it in the weeds of mourning, took up the line of march t their homes ; when I am confident that nothing but a speedy notification of the requisition being full, prevented the presentation of more than one hundred companies over and above the requisition ; when I remember the extreme solicitude of the companies reported too late, to "let us go any how,' "let us be first in the next requisition," "let us be first in lhe 'fight with England," Set. Sec, and the many races between messengers of different companies to "report first ;" when I recollect the vast toil of the Governor and many other citizens all over the State in consummating this work; I say, when all these things are vi idly before me, I hope I may be indulged for entertaining, yes, for expressing, a feeling of justifiable State pride. To Kentucky and Ohio would I award that meed of praise which they so richly merit ; but I would ask, has not Indinna, their young and beautiful sister, under all the circumstances of tlie case, in the presentation of this her free-will offering to our common country, outstripped all others and won to herself the appellation of Banner State ! - And now, though the spirit of prophecy is not mine, yet may I not venture to predict, that when the combined troops of the United States shall pour their heavy columns through the hosts of the haughty Dons nnd their deluded serfs on the plains cf Mexico, wherever the battle waxes the hottest, there will be seen, amidst kindred flags, the banner of our own beloved Indiana 1 I have the honor to be.

This I rrrnst confess would astcnUb me, as the War Department asked and procured a bill authorizing the levy cf 5",C00 volunteers, and appropriat(10,f O0.000) ten millions to meet the same exigency. The War Department seems to be cf opinion that there is no discretionary power lodged in me to act without positive orders. I, therefore, would ask for information if a servile insurrection should occur if an irruption should be made by large tribes cf Indians if a swarm of stcamtcsrwith Puixhan guns, were seen hovering about this sea-coast or if a General, at the head of a great part of the army cf the United States, upon the frontier of a neighboring State near me, should ask assistance, would it be my duty to refuse all aid until I should have received orders fiom Washington I I humbly conceive that the latter case has existed within the last month ; and if I have erred in deeming General Tas lor and his army in a situation so hazardous as to demand immediate succor, it is an error under which the country, the Congress, and the War Department, have equally labored. Had assistance been delayed by me, and had General Taylor and his army been cut off, I would have regarded it as an indelible stigma upon my name. I am aware that the exercise of such a discretion must ever be at the peril of the officer exercising it. That peril I can never hesitate to incur whenever the welfure of the country demands it. If I exercise it unwisely, I am willing that my commission should be forfeited ; or if I exercise it vainly, or for dishonorable purposes, I am willing to be shot. I am more than willing to abide the consequences cf my conduct in this matter, confident as I am that I have not trans . . . ' ' 4 . 'l cended my duty, or acted with greater zeal than the ! emergency required. If the battles of the 8th and 9th of May, so well congested as they were for a time on both sides, had resulted in the loss of Taylor's army.it would have plunged the whole .Union into deep mourning and into that most poignant of all human griefs an abiding sense of self-reproach for the settled and cold indifference with which his want of competent force and supplies had been for months witnessed.

IU Ul 1 1 IJ f UliU were appointed by me to act as officers of the general staff upon the same principle that the distinguished Edward Livingston, A. L. Duncan, and John R. Grymes, all first rate lawyers, were appointed by Jackson to act as staff officers. Jackson's object was, as my object has ever been upon such occasions, to maintain the great principle upon which the defence and the independence of our beloved Union must forever depend ; that to be a private volunteer is to hold a station of high honor, whence an acting general staff may with strict propriety be taken aml nut on dutv in the absence of the rpfTiil.ir RfjifT nf the army. These appointments, and all the measures taken by me-to which you object, were deemed by me as essentiaj duties, and discharged by me, upon principles sanctioned by the greatest and best of men ever known to me, some of whom took, their degrees in military and political science in the school ofour beloved Washington, Greene and Knox; and in the more civic school of Jefferson, and Dearborn, and Gallatin ; and though last, not least, in the school o'f Madison, Eustis, Dallis and Armstrong, Monroe and Calhoun, the master spirits of the war of 1S12 to 1814 and lo. - Be assured,, sir, that I will obey with much pleas ure the orders ot the I'rcs.dent of the United States, I according to my oath of office.

more distinguished officers are created in the army If this is so the labor is useless, as I may very soon be unable to discharge the active duties of my profession, though long in thc enjoyment of excellent health; for I am already old, of a contented disposition, and have received sufficient distinctions during my hamble life, 'Not the least of these distinctions do I regard the late prompt war measures of Congress and the President, and the noble-hearted Louisianians, and other Whole-souled Western and Southern men, in not only. indirectly, but expressly, generously, and unanimously approving my conduct in having for many months urged the adoption of the principal measures which have recently been carried as by acclamation." I do' not wish to have the place of any general or other officer known to me. I, sir, was born at a time and reared among men who had not learned the art of marching to distinction by trampling under foot the claims of their dearest friends or brother soldiers.

The petition of the widowof CapL Gray, discoverer of the Columbia river in Oregon, for aid, is not the only one on the subject 'before Congress. Samuel Ycndell of Boston, aged 77 Tears, the survivor of the crew of the revolutionary frigate Tartar, and the sole survivor of the crew of the ship Columbia, commanded by Capt. Robert Gray, who discovered and first entered the .Columbia river, solicits a moderate remuneration for 'Iris services to his country. -He sailed as chief carpenter in the ship Columbia, Capt. Gray, in the year 17'JO, on a three years' voyage round the Globe," and took part in the discovery of the Columbia river, and adjacent coast. We learn.'says the St. Louis Reporter, from produce dealers, that Western Flour is much more liable to fermentation (souring) than Eastern. May this not arise from the fact, that in the East, Flour barrels are thoroughly charred, before being filled, while, on the other hand, this process is almost entirely neglected in the west. .

Correspondence cf the Journal cf Commerce. Washington, Tuesday, June 30th. As we arc now within a day or two of the decision cf the House upon the Tariff Bill, there exists, naturally enough, much anxiety on the subject, which gives rise to many suggestions and rumors. I find, that many are impressed with the belief that Mr. Webster, Mr. Benton, and Mr. Calhoun, arc about to agree to another compromise of this question, and propose it to Congress, with good hope of success, better than Mr. Clay had in lr33, w hen I.e adopted the compromise propped on the part of the manufacturers by Mr. John Whipple, cf Rhode Island. This is the time for tlie manufacturers to make such a compromise as will protect their interests to a a a a r-

considerable extent, and lor srme years to come. I 14-, --.f-.. - . - . w ..4....M...4.9 and t! e act was tot looked upon as a permanent one i, ..... . ,1 .1 waa rather dt-emed es a temporary exriedient to relieve the government and re-establish its credit, and prevent the impending contingency cf the expiration of all law by which duties could be collected. It would not be remarkable, therefore, if, under such circumstances, a coalition should be farmed, for thc purposs of placing our revenue syrtcm upon some fair and permanent basis. Nor would it be surprising if the three distinguished Senators representing different parties and different sections of the Union, but united in some general objects affecting the welfare of the whole country, and recently brought into juxtaposition upon prominent national topics, should combine to take the great subject of the Tariff out of the arena cf party politics. God speed such a project. Among the speculations of this day is the important one, that the 54 40 men of the west will unite in firm opposition to the new Tariff Bill. A few men, impatient under disappointment, might, as it has been supposed, co-operate with the protective intcrets ; but it has not been believed that any number of members representing the agricultural interests of tbe west, would give a vote for the support of a system so inimical to those interests. Still it may be so. If all the 54 40 men are going aeainst the Bill, and if a majority cf fourteen of the New York delegation are going against it, then we are in the greater need of the aid of sc me powerful political combination that will take the subject of the Tariff out of the political field. I find that there is to be some opposition to Mr. Buchanan's nomination to tlie Judgeship, in the Senate. Not only the Democratic Forty-Nines, but the Fifty-Fours, are against him. The Whigs support him. The 49s know that he was opposed to them ; the 54s know that he signed the Treaty. But it is impossible that so good a man should be sacrificed to any party combination. 0-We clip the following from the Western (New Albany) Democrat: Washington Citt, June 24, 1916.

Sec. 3.

E. 0-The Toronto, Canada, Banner, pointedly says : Canada wants no buying nor coaxing to maintain her friendship and connexion with England. AW she wants is justice. She will never part from the Mother Country on account of free trade. But her trade must be free out and out. If England deprives her of tlie advantages she has hitherto enjoyed for her produce, in the markets of the Mother Country, she must stipulate with the United States that Canadian produce must be admitted there as free from duty as the produce of that country will soon be in Canada. Occupying an immense region, with but one outlet to the ocean, and that ice-bound for several months, Canada must have liberty to pass her produce, or receive her goods, through the most convenient ports of the States. She must have cheap postage as cheap as in Great Britain. It is shameful that in this poor but rising country, letters ßhould cost three times, six times, and even ten times what they cost in the rich country of England. The Tost Office Department must be invested in the Provincial Government, and lhj Province be made to pay a fair proportion of the expense of the mails to and from the Mother Country. If the penny postage system does not cover the expense at first, it will soon do so, end in the mean time thc people will cheerfully pay a tax to make up the difference. Free Navigation of the Sr. Laweexce. The Canadian Legislature is discussing an address to Queen Victoria, proposed by W. H. Merritt, a native of thc United Slates, of the loyalist party, in which it is proposed to make the navigation of the River St. Lawrence free to thc ships of all nations, on thc same terms as the schooners, &c, of the United States now pss between Lakes Erie and Ontariothrough the Weiland Canal. Several of the members advocated the measure on the ground that it would increase trade. 07-The 11 Slates Gazette is out, strongly, for the annexation cf the Canadas to the United States. In the old confederation under which the United States existed, previous to 17S7, a clause was inserted pro viding for the admission of the Canadas. So the Gazelle is not far out of a good reckoning. The President and Cabinet. Thc Tcnnsylvanian, alluding to the Oregon question and the President, gayS Mr. Buchanan, as well as the other members of the Cabinet, not only approves of the course of the President in taking this step, but also approves of the. terms of the message which accompanied the proposal of the British Miuistcr."
