HER A LID.

Tas Oaseos B,LL-WHo ARE ITS FaifSOs'
We very mech regret kaviag to inform OUT
readers chat 10 all probability this i"P0'''"'
hill sashe fate Of which 90 deep an interest .
<1lssby,maoy Of our citlsens, has not oeen pas
,ed by4he Congress which terminated ''s 'e'-
sion os tho 80 instant.
Isssfsisnds having fought it through the Ser
,te;ia tho face Of desperate opposition u
w.ssent from that body to the House Of Rep
reven,atives on the 9th Of February. and there
referred ION The motion Of Horace Everett o.
Vermont, q Whig'') to the Commas'ee on
sFo,eign Relations, Of which John Quincy Al
ANS Of Massachusetts was chairman. lhat
tho object Of this movement was to nave the
hill " killed off" we have had no doubt from
tho moment that we saw it; and the result
has proven that we were right; for Mr.. Adams
az we learn by the Globe. has reported It back
10 the House with recommendation that Il 90
NOT pass! Thus has THAI unhappy Old man
added another item to the catalogue OF mis-
deeds for which he will receive the curses OF
his fellow countrymen,. Is we'll east - west'
for, according 10 statement made by Df. Linn
in tho Senate, there are as MANI as three
thousand persons in Massachusetts alone VINO
we're ready TO have emigrated 10 Oregon d.
ring the presen, season, had the bill become
law. We have no doubt there are as many a.
10000, and probably nearer 10000, in 'heva'-
lev Of the Mississippi, who would have gone
betweea now and fail. But Mr.. Adams ana
tia manufacturers whose interests he repre-
sents. although they would doubtless be will
ling enough to see our western population en-
ipratine to Oregon, have no idea Of allowing
the laboring and poorer classes Of their own to
leave them in tina, way. They must be forced
to remain where they are to become "opera'
,iyes.'' or slares, in their manufacturing estab-
lishments, upon two bits day and black
broth. But, thank fortune, We have but lit
Ito while 10 wait before this matter can be
riehted. The next Congress will certainly do
it. That body will be Democratic; and be-
sides, while the strength Of tho west will be
increased by the addition Of some dozen or
more members in the House Of Representa-
,ives, that Of both the east, and south, will be
verv considerably diminished. We have but
10 wait patiently, therefore. until next winter
for the passage Of the bill. ]. @. Adams will
then not have it in his power to report against
the hill. as chairman Of the Committee on For
eign Relations, Tor, our word for it, he will not
occupy that position.
But, it seems, it was not only the bill as it
came from the Senate that Mr.. Adams strang-
led in the House. There was another bill up
on the same subject referred to him, and which
met the same fate. The latter was introduced
into the House by Governor Reynolds. one Of
the Democratic members from Illinois, who.
fearing that the Senate bill would not receive
fair play at the hands Of a Wing" Commit
tee, endeavored to get the subject before the
body in another shape. His bill, however,
was sent adrift by the I" Wing" house, in the
same channel with that from the Senate, and
was foundered upon the same rock. Both were
swampe6, by the recommendation of ]. @. Ad.
ans. and his " Whig'' Committee on Foreign
Relations. tina, they lido NOT pass!''
We have heard i. frequently said since this
Oregon question has been up that It was no..
"a party MEASURE Tha, it should not have
been made such We admit, but that it has not
become so by the opposition made to it by
"Whig'' members Of Congress, while the
Democratic members, almost to a man, have
supported it, is not true. We have shown a.
bove who were it's friends, and who its enc
mics, as far as any action was had upon it in
the House Of Representatives and how did
the matter stand in the Senate Let US look
moment. The bill was ordered 10 third
