OREGON AND TEXAS MEETING.

AT mass meeting of the citizens Of Newton coun.
ty Missouri held at the Court-bouse, in the town OF

On motion, Col. Nathan Richardson was called to
the Chair, and VIM. S. Lamkin, Esq, appointed Sc
eretary. Col. VIM. c. Jones being called upon by
the Chairman, explained the object of the meeting
in a very forcible impressive, and eloquent manner.
On motion, the Chairman appointed committee
of FIVE, cons sting of Col VIM. c. Jones, Josiah
Boyd, Edmund Dunn, Judge Testeman, and Gen.
Joel +. Woodward, to draft resolutions expressive
of the sense Of the meeting. The committee retired
short time, prepared and reported the following,
which adopted.
l. Resoip<d, That the most important object of
national policy, is the immediate occupation and
settlement of the Territory of Oregon-impor-
tapt in preserving, guarding, and maintaining our
right over that fertile and extensive country-im-
portant, Us increasing the extent OF our unoceuped
territory, and thus opening wider field for enter
prise and adventure, giving energy to the indus
trious and emigratipg spirit Of the American People
equazing property and population by throwing off
the surplus population Of the older States and giving
landed estates and homes to the emgrant, and by this
equalization coupled with hardihood and adventure,
increasing the spirit Of liberty and Independence
portant as opening field for commercial en-
crprise and industry with the East Indies China &c
as extending our free and happy institutions to the
shores Of the Pacific, thus binding together across
the whole extent of the continent, prosperous and
free People under equal laws and equal privileges
in short, regard il object of the utmost inn
portance to the honor, glory and prosperity Of our
common country
2. Resolved, That our claim 10 the Territory Of
Oregon, embracing that portion Of country wbcbex
tends from the Rocky Mountains, westward, 10 the
Pacific Ocean, and lies between 40 and 81 gree. of
North latitude, does not admit of doubt, not only
on the ground of prior discovery, exploration, and
occupancy, but by treaty with Spain.

THE RATIFICATION MEETING.

The meeting Of ratification last night was as
full, and as enthusiastic, as any of the previous
meetings.
The PLAN OF OPERATIONS submitted by the
Central Committee, was heartily approved, and
henceforth action will take the place of pords.
The Address prepared by the Central Com
mitlee, was ordered to be printed Immediately
and, instead of publishing it in the papers, a
suggestion that printed copy Of it, signed
by the Corresponding Secretary, be sent 10
each Of the prominent friends of the cause IN
1he different sections Of the Union, was adopt
ed. This course was taken in pursuance of the
determination of the Committee to rely in fu-
lure only on energetic action. to accomplish the
great end in view. Besides, the Address was
more particularly designed for the perusal Of
friends, than the captious criticism Of impaca-
bic foes.
We may give extracts from some Of the
speeches hereafter. Wewere gratiied TO OBJ
serve that the Committee, when some DISPOSE
,ion was manifested TO reflect on the real or sup
posed authors of past annoyances, unanimously
coacurred liz the opinion that Shy -gones should be
by-gones )" and that no individual should be ar
raigned for what he may have done yesterday,
if he will be right tomorrow.

The committee have not sent this circular abrOad,
before they have sscertained that the exercises OF
the meeting will be full Of interest Different parts
Of the country have promised 10 contribute papers OF
value. Individual intercourse will be opened be-
tween many, who have been heretofore strangers, or
known to each other only through the reports OF
fame. Personal observation will show how deep and
universal has been the feeling towards the Institute,
and with how lavish hand it has been displayed
and yet how psble the deficiencies Of arrange
ment and reciprocal return
The committee scarcely know whether It would
be n place regret that the Institute is yet without
any appropriate Hall for the reception Of its numerous
guests. II will receive them with honor and respect,
such xpedien apartments has been able to pro-
cure Should the meeting prove successful A. the
hopes of the in relation TO it ardent, they
will expect hereafter to welcome all who may visit the

Rio de Janero papers TO the lnh of January in
elusive have boon received at New York The
principal intelligence they contain IL from Montevdeo,
where, il seems, a sort Of collision has taken place be-
tween the Oriental Government and the French Con-
sui General. From the correspondence, which 10
published at large in the Rio formal it appears that
the I4th of December the Consul General wrote to
he Oriental Government demanding the part Of
the French King, that oil tho Frcnchmen who had
enrolled themselves for the defsnce Of Montevidco
should be disarmed and prohibited from taking ony
part in the wnr This the Oriental Government

HONOR TO THE DEAD AND THE
LIVING

From every quarter, as it flies, the news Of
the calamitous explosion on board the Princeton
is responded to by expressions of private grief,
and by resolutions of coincidence passed by pub
lie bodies.
Though these offerings of respectful regret,
profound and universal, may not at once extract
the sting of sorrow: they may serve to abate its
poignancy, until time shall have done its heal
ing Office, when they must be required to with
mournful pride and satisfaction.
That to the chief, and most afflicted surviving
actor, Capt. STOCKTON, should be melted full
share of these expressions of sympathy and
confidence, indicates generous and refined pub
lie spirit, alike honorable TO the public and to
him whom they are designed to console
II may be well supposed that, if one of these
demonstrations of regard for his character and
feelings can be more acceptable than another to
the accomplished and hospitabIe Commander of
the Princeton, it must be such as the following,
emanating from the public councils of his native
New JERSEY, whose military and civil annals
from time long past to the present, have been
illustrated by the talents and bravery of patriots
OF his name.

Navy, the warmest expressions of their sympathy and
coincidence for the affecting bereavement which has
converted The houses they adorned into abodcs of sor-
low and desolation.
Resolved, That while we rejoice at the personal
pc Of our leow-ci,izen, Robert F. Stockton the
