Let some others remember that tlie only way to make a State Democratic, it is necessary to first make democrats, and democrats from principle, not from policy, expediency or plunder Give us ninety-nine good cheers ! The Mails. The St. Louis Republican and other papers in that city, are complaining of the irregularity of the mails, "and specifically charge upon the post office at this place, neglect and bad management. These charges are unjust, as a few facts will show. The letter mail far St. Louis and all west, is sent under the brass lock to Terro Haute, where its direction is given. The maf.er for intermediate offices is Bent under the iron lock ; and the ofiicc here has no control over mail matter west of Tcrru Haute. The paper mail for S uthcrn Illinois and Missouri is sent in sacks labelled Ti-rre Haute, at which place it is re-assortcd to its proper direction. Sacks from the east, say Philadelphia, New York, Baltimore, and Columbus, O!iio, p33S thii office, labelled. St. Louis; and consequently no intermediate office has a right' to open them. Jlcrc probably where the errors occur. It is not or ce a year thattlii'i office makes up a sack for Missouri. Our St. Louis friends will thus see that no blam.3 can be attached to this office.

This renders them useless when they are received. We alo get news from New Orleans via Boston, earlier than we do direct from vhe former. Something is wrong somewhere; and with what attention we have been able to bestow on the subject, we are of the opinion that tlie fault is mainly in tlie large eastern city offices. Illinois. Well done, Illinois! Nobly, thrice nobly, has this gallant State sustained her invincible reputation for Democracy. We have not the full official vote ; but sufficient is given in the Register to enable us to state that the democratic majority will be upwards of twenty thousand for Governor, and that six of the seven Congressmen, are elected Democrats. We are well pleased to see that firm and industrious Democrat, Robert Smith, re-elected. The majority in the House will be only thirty-seven! enough, as our whig friends would say, for all practical purposesand in the Senate, seventeen. If we should refuse to let the whigs crow over the enlightened State of North Carolina, noic, we should consider ourselves really hardhearted. Cr-See the Trespcctus of the Washington 'Union in another column.

The question is raised in different quarters, as to whether", under the vote given at the late election, a Convention for the amendment of the Constitution, can bo legally called.

t'n ii 1c! Ituinir Humbug!!! Tlie attempt of the National Intelligencer, and a few Eastern City papers, to raise a panic; on account of the new tariff law, has turned out a complete failure. It will not be a month before they will swear, as the S. Y. Tribune already does, that it was the Democrats and not the Whigs that desired a panic ! The truth i, every man of intelligence now sees that the tariff policy of the country is settled for some years, and that on a basis more favorable to the manufacturing corporations than they had a right to expect. They will consequently proceed with their business upon a safe, pure, and comparatively permanent policy, and we have no doubt their prosperity will be greater than ever before. As evidence of the favorable state of things, take the following paragraphs from our eastern exchanges by a single mail : Reis. We learn, says the Trenton Emporium, that Str. Peter Cooper, the owner of the largo rolling mill ia this city, lias raiinrd the wages of his hands since the pasage of the new tariff. . 1 Ätoar.. We are informed, tays the sarne paper, that a new manufactory has been started within a few days in South" Trenton. An induatrioua laboier has commenced the buninCM of making horte nails "on his own hook,"

not hiving the fear cl the new tariff or of Whig ruio before their eyes. Still 3Iobi . The proprietor of the Glendeu Iron Word, above South Eaalun, says the Argus, has largely increased his buaineas sines the poMBge of the new tariff. Why ia it that the owners of these works do not complain for the want of protection 7 During a conversation with the chief agent the other day, we were told that they did not fear l lie new tariff, and would receive no injury from its effects, unless perhaps through the foolish and ridiculous panic which some few are trying to raise in our cities. Goiso Ahead. A large manufacturer in this rity told us on Saturday, says the New Haven Register, that the f.ronpect for a good fall business was never better than It is now, and that so far from discharging his hands, he could not get as many as he wanted. He is a whig, but ho ia not to be panicked to help out political demagogues. A new factory has been started at Wallingford, we understand, since the passage of the new tariff law, with every prospect of doing a good business and we hear or others, in different pans of the State. A new cotton factory is about going into operation in Hampden, near this city. In fact, the evidences ot prosperity are all about us; and the confidence of sensible men is ton strong to be shaken by the efforts of the panic makers. The Whig press may succeed in injuring the credit of some of its friends but that is an account they must settle between them. Bexsosvillk Makcfactcriso Compasv. This company, which was incorporated last winter, have thirty cotton looms in operation, and are adding others as lust as tbey can be got ready. They have one hundred looms, and when the mill is run to its full capacity, 3,400 spindles wilt be in operation. This establishment, when in the full tide of successful operation as we hope it soon will be will add considerably to the business of the town. .Yew Hampshire Gazette. 5Iaho.iio Iro5 Works. We are informed that these new and extensive works, the properly of our townsmen, Messrs. Wilkeson, Wilkes 6c Co., went into operation last week. They are located at Portland, on the ftlshoning river, in Ohio. This is the first American furnace in which the pig iron has bn made with raw bituminous coil. These works have been one year in construction, and are very extensive being calculated to afford employment to L'OO men. Buf. Com. ,1do. AIore "Re is." Sixty-three bouncing, rosy-cheeked country ffirls, recently engaged by an agent of the Cabotville Mills, Mass., passed through our city to day on their way to their new homes. This certainly does not look much like the realization of the predicted "ruin" to our manufactories ! Troy paper. Sf.rvf.d 's ftic:-. We understand that the workmen employed in the Thompsonville Carpet Factory, whose wages had hecn reduced 20 per cent, on account of ihn passage of the new tariff hill, refused to work, and that the Company, having so innny orders on hand, bad to set them to work at the old prices. ". In relation to this last company, the Rochester Republican observes : "We have all seen paraded in every whig paper, the fact that the princely carpet manufacturers of Thompsonsonville and .Turifl'ville, Conn., promptly reduced the wages of their operatives 25 per cent., as soon as McKay's tariff passed. That fact was proof enough that it was truly a "destructive meascre !" This reduction was evidently a preconcerted and combined movement ; but a few years ago their woikmnn struck for higher wages, and these same lordly and philanthropic gentlemen sued them for comlinitiion, and imprisoned some twenty of them lit Hartford Jail I This ia the practical effect of the regard lor the laborer whicli lugli tantis engender, and according lo whig authority, it is far nmre reliable than the beautiful theories with which the tarifTiles amuse the verdant and the incredulous." . We conclude with the following specimen of cool impudence from the Tribune, which for a week or two previous, had teemed with howls of 'distress ruin and repeal "The journals in the Polk, Walker and McKay interest are evidently chagrined and disappointed at the calm manliness with which their great financial achievement has been received by the mass of those most immediately affected by it. They looked fr a panic a revulsion a tornaJu a general shutting up ol factories, blowing out of furnaces, discharging of workmen, &.C., which would have enabled them to revive their potent war-cry, "The Rich against the Poor!" and inflame the passions of the ignorant with accounts of a combination of Employers to starve the Laborers into humiliation and slavery. . But nothing of the sort has taken place. In a few instances there have been momentary displays of petulance or indignation, but the geueral expression of those concerned in the interests struck at by tlio New' Tariff has been, "This is now the law of the land we are bound to submit to it till it can be changed, and to get on undet it as we best can.' As the N. Y. News observes : "The moral of this remarkable change of tactics is simply that the effort at panic making failed signally, and that the existing condition of things is too foreign from panics and revulsions for any power of misrepresentation to pervert. And the conclusion of the Whig press of this State, we guess, will be, that f.'iciV efforts to help on the panic are not needed. Death or Col. Fanning. Died at the Henri House, Cincinnati, on the 18th inst. of apoplexy, Brevet Colonel A. C. W. Fanning, 2d regiment, U. S. Arti'lery, aged &9 years. . The Cincinnati Enquirer, in announcing this melancholy event, says " The career of this gallant officer has been long and arduous, and the intelligence of his decease will be received with pain by his friends and brother officers. He was universally esteemed for his dauntless bravery, bis extensive experience, and his many excellent qualities. Col. Fanning entered the army in 1312 shared the danger and the glory of the battles of Plattsburg, Fort Erie, and-New Orleans served honorably through all the Seminole wars, and was present at Ouithlacoochee and Fort Mellon, two of the fiercest combats in which our soldiery have been engaged. He was a native of Massachusetts, and has supported for many years, a mother and sisters in Washington." The Grive or Ringgold. Lieut. Ridgely, in a letter relative to the removal of the remains of Major Ringgold, gives the following description of the grave at Point Isabel : " The grave now presents a very unique and appropriate resting place for a gallant soldier. Four posts, ornamented as well as the limited means would allow, are erected, one at each corner, connected by pieces of timber,' the upper having holes bored at every six inches, through which musket barrels captured from the Mexicans are placed as a railing, resting on the loveronc; the bayonets aro all fixed, and the whole painted black. Appropriate head and foot boards are erected." : - Sr. Lotns Union. L. Pickering, Esq. has purchased the St. Louis Reporter and Missourian establishments, and combined the two in the Union. As its name indicates, its appearance is evidence of the union of the democratic party of Missouri and particularly of St, Louis, and we hope will produce that harmony which should be the characteristic of the Democratic party at all time3 and in all places. Succesa attend the Union. . Cr-The number of letters delivered in Great Britain, during the year 131 was 275,500,000.

The Elections. Illinois. The Illinois State Register says : "The returns come in very slowly. Enough however have been received to show that the banner of Democracy, with victory perched upon it, still waves over tlie prairie Stare. The whigs have sustained a regular Palo Alto defeat. The democrats have done nobly. French and Wells are elected by 15,000 majority. Smith, McClernand, Ficklin, Wentworth,- Douglas,' and Turner, are eleited to Congress by majorities varviiif from hundreds to many thousands. The

Legislature is largely democratic, and . the county tickets have been more than usually successful. We confess that we were not prepared for so. glorious a triumph. We feared that 'general apathy" had got the command of the democratic force, but the result proves that the democracy train under no such leader; they are awake to their interests, they know their duty to themselves, and they have the energy and activity to perform it, Kentcckt The official returns of the election in Kentucky gives the - Whigs.

Id North Carolina the Whigs have elected -their Governor and Legislature. Mr. Haywood stands a belter chance of re-election than he would if he had served his time out and bad come up for another trial ; for he has by the resignation of his seat in the Senate which the democracy of the Old North State placed hira in, thrown himself, body and soul, into the arms of the Whig. To them, therefore, can ho look with the utmost confidence, androm them is he bound to ' expect more than lie could hope for from the party he has so ingloriously deserted. We shall not Be very much surprised to hear his election by the new Legislature. The Raleigh Standard states that a poll was taken at the late election, about the propriety of establishing a penitentiary in North Carolina ; and that there is a very heavy majority, from 15,000 to 20,000, against such an institution. Missouri. We have heard enough from vartou8 portions of the State, says the St. Louis American, to be satis5ed that the Democratic nominees for Congress have been elected, with the exception, perhap, of John S. Phelps, who may come in a few votes behind Mr. Campbell, a soft. Thirty-nine counties heard from, give a majority of 2,580 against the new constitution. We assure those who desire the election of Jlr. Marshall, that we have the most reliable and cheering intelligence from every portion of the State as to his prospects. Th; opinion is gaining ground, among opponents and supporters, that his election is certain. Tlie people are heartily sick and tired of Whitcomb and are determined to make a change. Indiana Journal, July 8. . Such was the confident tone of the whig papers previous to the election. How changed ! Now, but few of them who did not predict and expect defeat ! We can compare their lucubrations to nothing better than Old Gumbo's protestation to "do angel ob de Lord." Gumbo was a wicked negro, who had witnessed the ravages of the cholera in 1332, with stnic indifference, but, seeing his best friends dropping off by dozens, in negro valley, Gumbo began to have some fears of giving the last kick himself, in pretty much th? stvle he was wont to " fro dat brickbat." in a row. Gumbo then for the first time, thought of praying, to use his own phrase, "to de anjel ob do Lord," declaring that if he could only 44 be spared dis time," he would bo ready next year lo be taken up and 44 lib foreber, in massa Abraham's bosom." Some wags having access to an adjoining room separated by a board partition, hearing him at his devotions, knocked. . Who dar !" "Do angel ob de Lord!" 44 What he want!" 44 Want Gumbo." Elowing out his candle with a j-ä-o:o " no such nigger here. Dat nigger been dead dis two three week dat de trufc de fac." . fj7-The Louisville Democrat has the following: 44 It's amusing to recur to the course of the Whigs in the late election in Indiana. ' 44 First, Marshall was elected, without doubt ; then the contest was very doubtful; then, perhaps Whitcomb was elected by a reduced majority he might get 1,000. They finally got up, a few of them, to 2,000. There they have stopped, You can't get a word more out of them. We told our readers, from the first complexion of the returns, that Indiana was safe. Indeed is was obvious enough. The Whigs had not the smallest ground for their representations from the first. Democratic majorities fell off somewhat in some counties, but Whig majorities fell off still more. When Whigs wanted to know the truth about such matters, they ought to have learned, by experience, to look into the Democrat. . 44 To-night there is to be a Democratic meeting to rejoice over the victory in that State, at the late election. The Democrats of Louisville who want to see the fun, can step over this afternoon, at four or five o'clock, and partake of the jollification. The Whigs had their rejoicing in advance, before the result was known. They counted their chickens before they were batched." The New York Morning News truly says: 44 Every effort was made to defeat Gov. Whitcomb. All Ilm personal abuse that Federalism could rake up was poured upon bim; but the authors-have been; sternly rebuked by the sturdy yeomanry of Indiana. If we have lost the Legislature, it has been by purely local questions. Indiana is a permanent Democratic State; and Federalism has no chance of again rearing its pestiferous head if our friends are only true to themselves. i Government Drafts. The Washington Union in replying to some statements in the newspapers, respecting Treasury Drafts, says, not a draft has been issued by the United States Treasury, under $100, and in exact conformity in every respect to the forms and uniform usages of the department. No treasury notes have been issued. . No drafts of any kind have been issued under the constitutional treasury lay as yet. When this is done, they will be in exact conformity to the law. We understand that no circulating paper ever was contemplated by tlie secretary, as the reader will see by the reference to his annual report as to the constitutional treasury. And further, that none 6uch will be permitted. 07 By a law passed at the late session of Congress, all Collectors and Custom-IIouse Officers will be required to pay over their fees (hitherto distributed among the several officers) into the Treasury of the United States. The same act requires that an officer serving less than a year shall be paid only for the timo serving. Hitherto the Collector has secured his salary for the year from his fee3, and at once. Hereafter it will be paid quarterly. ' The New Custom House at Boston. This edifice is now nearly completed.

Paper Money. The Opinions of Washington and others, of Revolctionart Memort, concerning' Pater Issues. The following extract is from a letter written by Richard Henry Lee, to Gen. Washington, soon

after the revolution. . - "Is it possible that a plan can be formed for issuing a large sum of paper money by the assembly t I do verily believe, that the greatest foe we have in the world, could not devise a more effectual plan for ruining Virginia. - I should suppose that every friend to his country, every honest and sober man, would join heartily to reprobate so nefarious a plan for specula tion." c The following is an extract from Gen. Washington's in reply. 'I never beard, and I hope I never shall Lear, of any serious mention of a paper emission in this State. Ignorance and design are productive of much mischief. The former is tlie tool of the latter, and is often set at work suddenly and unexpectedly." In writing afterwards to Mr. Stone, of Maryland, he asserts V "1 do not scruple to declare, that if I had a voice in your legislature, it would have been given decidedly against a paper emission, upon the general principles of its utility, as a representative, and the necessity of it as a medium." In a letter to Mr. Jefferson, he says ' .t "Some other States are in my opinion falling into a very foolish and wicked plan of emitting paper money. I cannot, however, give up my hopes and expectations that we shall ere long adopt a more just and liberal system of policy. "Gen. McDonald belonged to the legislature of this State. The last act of his life was (after being carried on purpose to the Senate) to give his voice against the emission of a paper currency. -. The following is an extract from a speech, delivered by Fisher Ames in Congress, 1737. "In spite of national beggary, paper money has still its advocates, and probably its martyrs. In spite of national dishonor, the continental impost is still op posed with success. : Never did experience more com pletely demonstrate the iniquity of the other. But in defiance of demonstration , knaves' will continue to proselyte 'fools, and to keep a paper money faction alive. The fear of their success has annihilated ere dit, as their actual success would annihilate proper ty." Far different are the views of Modern Whigs. They are in love with paper money, and he, who may chance to disagree with theu, and dares to assert with General Washington, that the paper money system is "a foolish and wicked one," he is denounced as an enemy of his country. They have learned wisdom from the British Aristocracy, and the man who dissents must be branded as an exciter of "the poor against the rich," an agrarian and a leveller. 03Daniel Webster, in 1921, denounced paper money and its makers in the following unequivocal terms. Taper money arguments have since palsied his tongue, except in praise of the evils he so eloquently depicted ; but they have not changed the me rits of tlie question : "I would say to every laborer, to every man every where, who wishes by fumcst means' to gain an hon est living, beware, of uoives m sheep s clothing! Whoever attempts to bring vn distress in money mat lers, and drive the country into paper money, stabs your interest and your happiness to the heart ! The herd of hungry tcohes who live on other men s earn ings, will rejoice in such a state of things. Paper expansions. I A system which absorbs into their pockets, the fruits of other men's industry, is the very system for them. A government -Ibat countenances uncertainty, fluctuations, and finally 'paper money, is a government exactly after their ' oicn heart. Hence these men are always for change. They will never let well enough alone. Let no man be. able to say whether the money in his pocket at night, will be money or worthless rags in the morning, and-deprcss laDor till double work shall earn but half a living; give them this state of things, and you give them the consummation ot their earthly bliss. Fraud in Wool. A Washington correspondent of the N. Y.. Evening Post, exposes some of the frauds practised hy.tiie manufacturers under the tariff of 1842. lhe follow ing is the table quoted, and the manner in which the frauds arc perpetrated : round. Dollais. Wool imported in 1S3S, 6 963 363 - 532,971 Wool imt-orted in 1839, -. 7,925,173 699,533 Wool imported in 1 840. 9,898,740 S46.076 Wool imported in 1341, V. 15,066.410 1,154 9")3 Wool imporUd in 1842, . ' r J1.4W.962 797,332 Wool imported in 1S43, 9 m., 3,563,159 : 248,679 Wool impoited in 1844, 14,003,403 851,461) Wool imported in 1845, 23.S33.040 1.6S9.694 It will be seen by the above table, that in 1342, for nine months, from the 1st of October to June SOth, 1813, there were only about three millions and a half pounds imported. 1 his was owing to the operation of the new Tariff of August 12th, 1842. It was supposed that this cheap wool was subject to a duty of 30 per cent and 3 cents per pound. But the manufacturers succeeded in getting a decision to the contrary, and it was entered at a duty of five per cent. The importation then began to; increase, and the next year it will be perceived it swelled to the large quantity of 14,009,403. In 1945 it increased so much as entirely to break down the price of the American wool. It reached 23,833,040 pounds, divided as follows : Wool under seven cents per pound, 23,382,097; wool over seven cents per pound, 450,943-23,833,040. Amount of duty collected on 23,332,097 pounds, 77,089 45. Duty on same under Mr. McKay's bill would be 1GG,130 70, being six times as much as under the old law. The manufacturers have always alleged that this wool did not interfere with American wool, being used for blankets and carpets, but recent statistics show that not more than one-fourth of the quantity is used in all the carpet and blanket manufactories in the country. Besides it is very remarkable that there should be such a monstrous increase cf carpets in the last three years. To Nurserymen. A South-western paper says "Wo should be glad if Mr. Gillett, and other nurserymen in Ohio, Indiana, etel, would let us know their price per hundred for two-year-old apple and pear trees, packed and shipped at some point on the Mis sissippi, it western nurserymen would advertise in Southern papers, stating what varieties of apple and pear trees they have, and their price per hundred, in lots of from one to five hundred, they wouhl find it greatly to their interest. There is much anxiety felt through the entire South-west, to procure good trees. and many of us are planting large orchards with the view of supplying the New Orleans market. The pear thrives admirably. Early apples are most wanted." A Horrid Outrage. A brute in human form, by the name of Leonard Rich, is now confined in our county jail for committing a rape upon the body of a girl eight years of age, in Noble county. He chose to come to our jail to escape the indignation of the citizens of Noble. The girl was said to be in a help less condition for some days after the commission of the crime. An effort was made a few days since to liberate, him on a writ of habeas corpus, but thanks to tha firmness of Judge Beane, the motion was overruled. doshen Democrat. Judge Sample has been elected President of the Branch at South Bend, in place of Jcrnagan, resigned. Quite a descent, from President Judge of the ninth Judicial circuit down to the presidency of a twopenny rag-mill, but auch things will happen in the best of families. TnE Election. For the firt time in many years Louisville has elected a Locofoco candidate to ti c Legislature. This will surprise many of our readers abroad. Louisville Journal. Most wonderful ! We feel very much surprised. John Burke, confined in the State Prison for life, for the murder of his wife a few years since at Hartford, Conn., committed suicide on Saturday night, by cutting an artery in his arm.

Action of tlie V. S. Senate wltcn tlie llrilish proposition to settle the Oresou question was before that body. The Washington Union publishes the proceedings of the Senate on the Eritish proposition to settle the Oregon question,"which the Ohio Statesman condenses as follows:

The papers were sent to the Senate on the 10th of June, with a message from tlie President, which we have already published. Mr. Allen moved their reference to the committee on Foreign Relations, and that they be printed. On motion of Mr. McDuffie, the question was divided, and the proposition to refer was first voted upon, and rejected yeas 9, nays 27. The following were the yens : Messrs.

The Secretary was ordered to lay the resolution advising and consenting to the treaty, before the President of the United States. The above synopsis contains all the facts of any moment connected with the proceedings of the Senate. None of the speeches have yet been published. When they appear, We shall publish all we can make room for.

Territorial Government of Orcjon. A short debate arose in the United States Senitc, on the 7ih, on the reception of a message from tlie Executive conveying the ratified treaty to that body. We copy the following from the Uuion : The message having been read, Mr. Speight moved that it be referred to the committee on Territories, snd printed. Mr. IlAxatoAs then tose and said Mr. President, I confess that I cannot see any propriety in attempting, at tbis late period ol tbe session, to act upon any measure in relation 19 Oregon. Uur table is now groaning unaer 1am tbe irrst amount of business already on it. Any maasure contemplating the establishment of a territorial govern ment in Oregon, mutt, as a matter of coarse, under all IDS circumstances which have heretofore transpired, elicit a considerable debate. It is only right, just, and proper, that those who voted against tbe treaty should have an opportunity of giving their views to the country. Heretofore, no such opportunity has been afforJed, snd, for my own part, I should feci ashsmed to obtrude myself upon the time of the Senate, upon this subject, when there are bot three days remaining of the session. I therefore move that tbe communication be laid upon tbe table, and that tbe consideration 'of it, snd all measures now pending relating to Oregon, be postponed until the first Monday of December next. Mr. Brexi here made a few remarks, which were lot distinctly heard in the gallery, but the honorable gentleman was understood to say, that, while be waa not satisfied with the convention, be was in favor of action spon the Oregon measures which had been reported from various committees, snd were now pending in the 8ente. The President here observed, that pirt of tbe motion pending being to lay tbe communication on the table, it was not debatable. Mr. Hahneoan then withdrew that part of his motion. Mr. SrncsT then sddressed the Senate, and said : I bare no disposition, Mr. President, to excite discussion, at this period of the session, on tbe subject of .Oregon. I made the motion to print and refer, simply because I think some disposition ought ta be made of the communication from the President, and I did not see any other gentleman disused to make tbe motion. However, perfectly agreeing with the Senator from Indiana, that there is not now time for the consideration of the subject, I will withdraw my motion to refer. Mr. Setiii. I hope it will be referred. It is highly necessary snd proper that some measures should be adopted for the establishment of a territorial government in Oregon. The American citizens in that territory expect it. The passage of such a bill will occupy but little time. There sre abundant precedents to which to refer. The laws necessary for the government of that territory would be analogous in all respects, to those applied to other territories. I do not conceive how the passage of such a bill can give rise to any debate. I am certain that it might be passed in twenty minutes, as its details will be precisely similar ta lho of all other territorial bills. Hs therefore renewed his motion to refer the communication. Mr. Hasnfoan. I will again remark, Mr. President, that I da not conceive it practicab'e to pass a bill for the government of Oregon, without its occasioning a debate concerning the convention which has been recently concluded. Those who are opposed to that convention, desire to be heard on tbe subject of the fic:s connected with iL Mr. Sevier. The bill far the government of Oregon has nothing whatever to do with the treaty concloJed with Great Britain, in relation to the boundary of the territory. Mr. Haxsecan continued : Sir, if measures are ta be passed relating to Oregon, as a matter of course we most expect debate upon the convention a convention which I will here take occasion to say, is neither more nor lest than a convention for the joint occupation of Oregon south of the 49th degree of north latitude a convention which has ceded to the HuJson Bay Company in perpetuity, the navigation of the Columbia river; for by the terms of tbe treaty, the river is ( pen to them during the existence of their charter, which is endless. It is a convention lor tbe joint occupation of Oregon, south of 49 drg., while before ! its formation, we held as far north as 54 drg. 40 min. I J repeat, that those who are opposed to the convention, de sire to be heard in reference to it, in an appeal to their constituents and to their country. Mr. Sktiem said : When the proper time anives, I wish myself to sy something en that subject. But here ia communication, bringing to the attention of tbe Senate tbe propriety of organizing a territorial government. In order to flfect tbia, it ia necessary only V follow a beaten track to report bill containing the provisions applicable to all territoriea. If it ia deemed desirable to discuss the terms of the treaty with Great Britain, on the passage of such a bill, 10 far from objecting to it, I would desire to participate in auch discussion if the time permitted. But I must confess I aee no real neresity in connecting tbe two subjects. A bill hai in fact been reported for establishing territorial government in Oregon reported long before the question of boundary was settled. Some time this werk, perhaps to-morrow, I will call op the bill reported from the committee on Indian Affairs, providing for the regulation of the InCSggjvest of the Rocky mountains, which I think ought to ie passed. This much, at least, I feel it to be mjfduty to do. Mr. Atchisov did not see the necessity of referring the communication, as it contained nothing but what had been stated by the President in his message in tbe early part of the session. Bills establishing a mail route, and organizing a territorial government there, haj been reported already, and be did net see what more was to be gained by a reference. Mr. Bagbt thought that tbe reference would do no harm at all events. Mr. Breese differed with the Senator from Alabama. The lecommendalion of tbe President contained in this communication, bad been anticipated by two bills one for the establishment of a regnr- territorial government in Oregon, snd another for the establishment of an Indian agency ; and if the reference were followed by the report of another bill, confusion might be produced. Mr. Sevier wished to know why a different course with respect to this message from that ta'ien with regard to others, should be desired. Tbe motion of tbe Senator from Indiana, was still broader, and proposed to postpone all mease res in relation to Oregon, until the next session. He hoped that the reference would be made, and that a bill would be reported. Mr. Alleit then rose and thus addressed tbe Senate : I hope Mr. President, that all those measures that have for their object the extension of our laws over the little remnant of Oregon that is left to us, will be permitted to take tbe usual course, and be proceeded with to their final consummation. I am disposed to give to so much of Oregon ss remains to as, the benefit of our laws. Thus far I will not withhold my aid from any measure desired by my friends; but as the grand consummation of their labors has been a dismemberment of Oregon, I sm also solicitous that a full exposition of tbe whole proceedings shall be . presented to the country. From the position which I have held, this has been a matter with which I have been somewhat closely connected, and it is one on which I bave been compelled to differ from many gentlemen for whose opinions I have been accustomed to entertain great repect. This is a question, Mr. President, the termination of which, in my judgment, has involved not only a large - a a a a ... . ... sacriace, nut nas muictea ueep nomination upon the whole nation, ihcse are my views. Nevertheless, I am willing to aid by my vote the extension of our laws over so much of Oregon as is left, snd that as speedily as possible ; for I wonld cot make myself responsible for the exposure of the littlo remnant of Oregon that is still ours, to tbe danger of ultimate separation from the United States. 1 hree or four weeks of intervening time after the ratification of the treaty may produce such a state of things in Oregon ss will render it impossible for us to incorporate that territory into the body of this Union. For these reasons, I sm reluctantly compelled to differ with my friend from Indiana in the motion which he has made, and to render all the assistance in my power to keep together the few fragments of our empire. I trust the law will be so framed as to prevent snyjnan who owes sllegiance to the British crown from holding an acre of land in fee simple in that territory. I want no British subject to hold any rights within our territory there. I went t legislate tha Hudson Bsj company out of the territory, and that as speedily as possible. Mr. Haxseoab here moved that the communication be laid on tbe table and printed. Mr. Sanaa demandeJ the yeas and nays, which were ordered. A division of the question was then demandoJ, snd the . question being tskeifon the first clause, vis : to lay on the taa'e, it was decided in the affirmative, as follows, Yeas Messrs. Archer, ifchison, Barrow, Berrien, Cilley, John M. Clayton, Thomas Clayton, Corwin, Crittea(Ten, Davis, Evans, Greene, Ilannegan, Huntington, Jarnsgin, Miller, Morehead, Phelps, Rusk, Sera pie, Simmons, Speißnt, Upham, Webster, and WoodbriJge 25.
