With the foregoing plain statement OF jact
before their eyes, we leave our readers to judge
for themselves how far the Oregon bill has
been made ga party measure" in Congress.
Before closing this article, however, We
must advert 10 rumor which is quite rife IL
the eastern yapers, to-wit: that Daniel Web
s,er, President Tylers Secretary OF State. is u
be sent soon upon special mission to Eng
land, with the view principally to the settle
ment Of the difficulty between the two gov
ernments upon this very Oregon question:
And we Judge that there may be too mocf
,ru,. in this rumor from the fact that ''the Mad
isonian" president Tylers organ at Washing
tony has exhibited no particular friendship TO-
the Oregon bill during its discussion in the
Senate, but has rather sneered at it, and at thu
Oregon country. as "shat commanding posi-
lion, that Gibralter Of America from which w
might rake the British channel"
