OnEooN.-We make the following ex>
tract from the speech delivered by Gen.
Cass, on the 4th inst, at the opening OF
the Wsbash and Erie Canal:
Psshaps, while address you. meas.
nres are IN progress ~ wIrss from, ne our
Territory west Of tho Rocky Moun,sins
leland after Island. Country AFTER Country,
are falling before the ambition of England
She is planting her standard wherever
there is people to be subdued, or the fruits
Of their industry to be secured. With
professions Of philanthropy. she pursues
the designs Of ambition. And she is en-.
circling the Globe with her stations, wher.
ever she can bes. accomplish her schemes
Of aggrandisement The sun never sets
upon her Empire 1. is my deliberate o.
pinion, that no nation, since the fall Of The
Roman power, has displayed greater dis
I'D for the rights of others, or more
hoidiv .;;,n,.d at universal domination.
Our claim to the Country west of the
Rocky Mountains i. as nnos::::; abIe as our
z1d Pqpks a IL q Sus q ISSsS
these blood stained fields. And ,rns. it
will be maintained with vigor and promp.
,i,ude equal to its justice. War is grea.
evil. but no. SO great as national 6ishonor.
Little is gained by yielding to insolens and
unjust pre.ensions. 1t is better 10 defend
the frs. inch Of Territory than the last.
Far better, in dealing with England, to re-
sist aggression, whether Of Territory. of
impressment or of search, when frst al
tempted. than to yield. IN the hope that
forbearancc will be met in just spirit,
and will lead to an amicable compromise.
Let us have no red Iines upon the map Of
Oregon. Let US hold on TO the integrity
Of our just claim. And If war comes, be
it so. l do not myself believe it will be
long avoided. unless prevented by intes-
tine difficulties in the British Empire.
And woe be to Us. if we fla,ter ourselves
it can be arrested by any system Of con.
cession. OF all decisions this would be
the most fatal. And we should awake
from it, dishonored, if no. ruined PEG.
