Thus, the Oregon territory is disputed, while yet II

adventures" Of the United States locate themselves
in lis ambiguous prarles, and the Government OF the
United States advised to distribute military posts
in it. All very prudent, honorable and hgh-mlnded
this, and well worthy the consideration of Lord ABB
erdeen, whoever else may preside over the pauo-
post fuurum settlement of the " Oregon questlon.
But while the outgoing President thus cheaPy
hatters the ant-Brtsh sentiments OF the Congress by
hints Of hostile preparation, he does not neglect the

We regret that it not in our power to encourage any
hope OF any American bnndhoders that they are like
ly soon to have their debts paid Mr.. Tyler talks
very PRETTY about embarrassmenls, confidence faith
and credit. This is very fine but, unfortunately for
the European creditors of the States, he proceeds to
tell them that instead OF being able to pay their debts,
there will probably be deficiency in the years rev.
enue of more than 1000 900 dollars. THIS riece} of
information may quiet the alarms Of all Europe and
America. 1t would require more than Mr.. TyIer's
coquence to raise loan in Europe even for a Mcxi-
can campaign.
But the Times and the General entertain an
erroneous conception of The spirit and inlelIi-
gence OF The President and the People Of the
United S ates. They will be undcceived.
