We give TO day the half of a Lecture upon Or
egon, by Peter A. Browne, of Philadelphia. The
remainder will be given next week. We were
induced 10 give the Lecture at length because it
comprsed a complete and lucid view Of the title
Of the United States to the Territory Of Oregon,
conuasted with the iimsy and grouudless claim OF
Great Britain Every western reader should be
familiar with the merits of this QUESTION. Wheih-
err the possession Of Oregon be peaceaby yielded
by the British, or DO obtained by force of arms
whether the demand is for citizens soldiers, the
West is to answer that demand. The day is at
hand when the Government Of the United States
is to assert her undehabe Jurisdiction TO Oregon.
The next entreaty will be that of her citizens for
protection--a voice which she must obey. Our
Western frontier is nearing point, equidlstant
from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and between
which and the Columbia river, recent discoveries
have proved that there exists obslr uclion to the
location of Rail Road This fact connected
with the immense resources and highly favorable
position of Oregon IN a commercial point of view,
renders its possession and occupancy by the Uni
ted States matter OF the first national impor-
lance

REPUTATION.

/ This is subjec, upon which the people have
thought, aud upon which much has been said and
written, and yet it is one ever fruitful well as
interesting. The population Of debts has been
fashionable and even By law Of the land it has
been legalized, and, though it has never been APP
piled to Corporations States, its effects even
yet felt through this country by those who were
unfortunate enough TO have debtors who could not
or would not pay With individuals it may ever
be thus so long as the wise heads at Washington
choose to pass laws To- the guidance of the people
Of that character. But the question will arise
whether States should avail themselves, if it was
possible, ofthis summary mode of liqudatng a
debt when the faith of the State-the honor other
people-is pledged to the payment OF debt incuI-
red by her officers and Representatives! Not to
our own citizens or our own capitalists are the
debts ofthe States due, but to the capitalists of
foreign nation who stamp the whole Republic by
the act OF single State. In the event Of rerudia-
ton BY State the whole American people are to
be entited, in stock buying Europe, swindlers and
knayes. Although this is not as it should be, and
is in each pasticular incorrect, such would be the
fact.
Not many months since a capitalist OF Europe
wrote 10 the President to learn whether ne could
aiiow Mississippi TO repudate! This is but one
ofthe many wrong impressions that Europeans have
of US and our institutions, and which viii ever be
the same. The people Of no State, we believe,
but Mississippi have ever seriously thought OF Re-
pudiation a means of paying debt Of the
State but by many in other States, that course has
heen limited at but never brought before the people
in such shape that il could be acted upon by them
lit had, we would not fear the result, the hon.
or of his country is ever dear to an American, and
the Stars and Stripes can never be disgraced by
such all action coming from the people ofany one
of the States of this Republic. There is too much
independenco-too much OF that feeling of self
respect to cause any humber of the people ever to
resort to such course. Reputation can never
pay debt--Ihe same sense of due TO creditor
will ever exist, and it can never be done away
with until the amount is liquidated, every cent.
Even Penusylvania-the State of broad bfmmed
Quakers and honest Dutchmen--is spoken of by
some as being on the list of States about to repu-
date, but we are inclined to think that it is but
the bursting forth of some weak spirit whose hope
and uust in the people is regulated by his own
faith in himself Our Republic has been and sho'd
even be debt paying, if she is a debt contracting
nation-for the name we have borne let US never
owe tho money bags of Europe cent without be-
ing willing, for we are able, 10 pay it when DUE
Taxes must be made heavier if they are now too
light for the accomplishment of this object, and the
American people will never complain whiie pay
ing a tax for tho liquidation OF debt due aristo-
cratic England.

THE NEwBuRYPoRT EXPLOSION
We mentioned on Friday the explo-
sion at Newburyport. We give the
full aud interesting particulars from a
Newburyport paper:
The boiler of a six horse power en-
CINE, in the Patent Cordage Manutac-
tory of Michael Wormsted & Son, on
South and Marlborough streets, explo-
ded yesterday morning, about halt past
6 o'clock, an hour after the workmen
had commenced operations. Mr.. Jno.
Green, the engineer, who was probably
standing in front of the furnace, was
instantly killed, his head being crush
ed into an almost shapeless mass. MIR.
Lorenzo Ross who was standing in the
doorway of the engine room was badly
scalded, and his body completely black
ened. He was taken up senseless, but
afterwards revived, and it is thought
may recover. The engine house was
completely demolished. and the bricks,
timbers. ant. boards thickly scattered
around, to the distance of so or 100
wards. The boiler was twenty feet
long, and weighed over a ton and
half. The main body of it, being eight
of the ten Joints or plates, and weigh
ing probably near $500 pounds, was
forced in straight line, through pile
of heavy anthracite coal, eight or ten
feet in thickness, and also the end OF
the building against which the coal
was placed, passing over the vacant lot
between the rope walk and the dwelling
house and out buildings next below 1t,
on Marlborough street, and after striking
the ground three or four times, pros
trated a small shed and levelled the
fence on the street, which checked It's
progress so that it turned round and
rested on the side walk nearly in par
allel line.with Marlborough street, and
at a distance of nearly 500 feet from
the engine houSe.--Times.
CANApA.-An effort will be made
at the present session Of the Canada
/ Parliament to reduce the salaries ofall
public officers which now exceed 81
600, one-fhird; and those lessthan Ell
coo, from l4l 10 25 per cent As the
salrries have been regulated by impe-
rial statue. the course will be, we sup
pose, 10 solicit the imperial govern
ment 10 make the proposed redue-
lion.

Mr.. r. expresses his conviction that
knowledge of the currents and winds
of the Pacific Ocean, will solve the
once vexed question of the first PEG.
pling of its Islands from the Asiatic
continent, in spite Of the objection,
long urged, of the opposition of the
trade winds.
GA case is still recent where the
wreck Of "a japanese junk was drifted
the entire distance to the Sandwich Is
lands, with its surviving crew; thus
completing nearly halt of the great
circuit Of winds and currents in the
North Pacific. But we shall find an
additional means oftransport near the
Equator, which isafforded in the north
west monsoon of the Indian and Paci.

inquiries, is found to extend, at one
portion of the year, as far eastward as
the Society Islands; or more than half
the distance from the Indian Ocean to
