lect.--llc expressed himself lavorably to
the settlement of the territory at as carly
period as possib e; and advocated many
of the provisions of the bill as actually re-
qnned, i'll orde! to preserve Oregon in our
possession. Blu: he was against the land
clauses, as in his opinion they not only
violated the treaty with England, ba, also
were contrary to the courtesy of nations.
lie supported the motion to commit to the
Committee Oh Foreign Relations, for the
purpose Of striking on. these clauses.
MIR. Benton objected to the motion, on
the ground that as special committee
had reported the measures, it ought to
be re-comm,ted to the same, if any alter
aIions are to be made.
MIR. Calhoun said the special committee
was dissolved; and spoke earnestly in ia
vor of referring to the Commiice on For
eigh Relations, which was the proper or
gan TO act on the matter.
!sller good deal of conversation ON
this pont, .Hr. Archer, chairman of the
Committee of Foreign Relations, with
drew his motion for reference to that
committee, and consented that it should
go back TO the special committee, which
might be revived, composed Of the same
members as before.

The .Niners' E1preSs.

From the last notice which the Herald took
Of the Miners's Express, our readers will have
perceived that we considered the controversy
which had been carried on between the Two
papers at an end. as we concluded E ~ " s'"a
i'g TO the editors The right hand Of fellowship.
We thus offered The olve branch ofpeace, not
so much because we thought the editors wor.
thy Of our respect, but for other reasons
We had an aversion to controversy with
those advocating the same principles with our
selves, knowing that while sucn controversies
destroyed that influence which well conducted
papers 'cueh. and do WELD, they play into the
hands of the enemy. by enabling them to make
capital out of OUT. divisions. We were the
more anxious to close the controversy because
our competitors seemed to abandon the points
at Issue, relying for triumph solely upon the
imperfec.ons they fancied they could see in
our private character. We lay no claims TO
pertec,ion-we have faults, and who has none
Ma,urer years have brought with them con-
seriousness Of one great fault. which in our
youthful days we were too much addicted TO-,
that Of speaking too frequently Of .i'e faults of
those with whom we came in contact, leaving
CLOUDS. or remain obsc"red behind them.-
We are ahead Of the editors of the Express
~ tbs Respectively have yet to learn that
there is fault in such course.
We had yet other reasons for burying the
Ratchet: While on late visit TO Dubuque,
letter was received at this office, from mu-
tnai friend residing in that place, informing
us that the junior editor Of the Express, to
whom We attributed their authorship, was not
The writer OF the articles abusive of US, but
that they were the productions Of the senior,
whose temperament is such that his passions
have complete control over his actions. While
at Dubuque, from a conversation held with
Mr.. Rogers, we learned that he was no, their
author. After waiting due length Of time
Tor reply to an article concerning the Elk.
press, and none being made, we concluded tina,
they were willing to meet US Oh terms of peace.
and. therefore, rendered TO them the i,aLd Of
!. = ts ssstss 3 -
friendship. m
After exhonera,ing both the junior and Mr..
Rogers, who, we were told might be the au-
thcr. aud stating iha, our assaian. was another
meaning the senior whose name we should
not disclose, as we were .'disposed to forgive,
and bury the halcIIet," imagine our surprise
on finding, in the Express Of the 3olh ult. a
malignant aud libellous assault upon our pSi-
vaie character. with the exclamation that we
may bury The Ratchet when we !. please" but
they UiA not bury theirs We shall make no
reply to the several statements made against
our character in the article alluded to, as we
are a little too modest to make our own de.
| fence, in matter involving our reputation or
private character, but, lest Cur silence NAV In
construed by them into an admission Of the
ruth Of their charges. we pronounce them.
