More English aggression american Colonization
Society at Bassa Cope-Oregon and its Northern
Bo,.nduy--The Democratic Procession.
JAMES G. BENNETT
The last and most recent act of English aggres-
sion, made evident here within day or two, has
been the interference Of the English squadron sta
toned off the coast Of Africa, with the American
Colonization Society established many years since
at Bassa Cove. The commander has given notice,
that the marine rules and regulations established
by the society for the protection Of the colony,
which is strictly American, will not be obeyed or
sustained by the English feet and that any attempt
by the society to continue the demand Of port
fees duties, &c will be dsobeyed on the part OF
the English flag.
The dispatches, or communications on this impor-
tant sabect, have been presented 10 the Secretary
OF State and the President, for their action. This
colony has been under the control OF the society
for twenty years, and u Is strange that Great Br-
tan with It's apparent desire 10 ameliorate the con-
dion ~ the slave, should al this late day attempt
To interfere with that over which they have autho-
rity, except such mghtlgives TO right. 'Tis time
this bullying was brought TO stand, as cowardiy
submission 10 single wrong only adds 10 the assu-
rance OF bullying party.
The northern boundary between the United
States and the British Canadian possessions, ap-
pears TO have been settled, by the treaty OF 1918,
tO extend from tIe Lake pt tne w OOus, at
45,h degree, 10 Kootanic Fort, at the eastern
foot OF the Rocky Mountains. Beyond this.
being a distance in a straight line OF about
FIVE hundred geographic miles TO the Pacific,
lies what is called the Oregon Region, the north
crn boundary Of which is the present cause OF dif-
hculty between this country and Great Britain -
In some Of the old maps find that the northern
boundary is defined high north as latitnde fity-
five, which includes Vancouver's and Washing
toms Islands, and makes a difference OF three hun
dred ana sixty miles in sea coast: should the
boundary be extended in the direct line o 1918 10
the Pacific Vancouvef's Island must be conceded
10 the British, and also the privilege OF entering
the Straits of Fuca which forms the inner bounda-
nv of the island. and receives the waters OF Fra
ser's River This latter boundary would give
us 42O geographical miles OF sea coast. The
Columbia river is near the centre OF this boundary,
which extends south TO the i2dldegree, on Mexico
Its branches terminate al the east In the Rocky
Mountains, and spread over near the whole inie-
nor and the head OF the great Missouri rises with
in mile the loot OF the mountains on the oppo-
site side, and thus renders the city OF ST. Louis the
graud outlet and depot OF the products Of this vast
region Of country. The occupation ot Oregon IN
accordance Nth this last named boundary, cannot
by any principle Of right, justice, or honesty, be
objected to by the British government. The only
question that should arise, with common honesty,
IS az to the extent OF our northern boundary above
latitude 49, or the mouth OF the straits ol Fuca Cast
