9TH instant, a meeting was held in Faneuil
Hail. Boston, and Daniel Webster delivered
what is doubtless the agreed policy of the
Wings upon our Western relations. After
complimenting the statesmanlke policy of
Sir Robert Peel, the British minister, at the
expence Of his own government, Daniel
Webstef proceeds TO recommend Pacific
Republic in Oregon and California. The
design of this Recommendation is, that our
Government shall yield to England unlimited
permission 10 control the vast Pacific terri
tory aud make lis growing wealth tributary
to her commerce and power. Now she is
held in check by American rights, but the
wings desire that these rights shall be waived
and surrendered, not because it is England's
due but because we may, by the assertion of
our just claims, bring upon our country the
vengeance Of "the great maritime power of
England" and all the horrors of war, against
which the spirit Of the age is altogether
opposed" -.
Daniel Webstery who holds his political
and legal services at the will of the highest
bidder, speaks but the craven language of his
masters, the money and manufacturing capi-
,alisis in both hemisphcres. That the Amer
ican money broker should fear war or any
possibility which may lessen his gains is ma
tural, and that he should be ready TO sacrifice
public honor and advantage to his quiet will
not excite surprise, but that any respectable
portion Of the American people will hesitate
to uphold our national rights, will consent to
Weld the wealth of the commerce of the
Pacific border to the insolent threatenings Of
England, we cannot believe. Are we never
to discuss question or have difference
with that naughty power but the sword is to
be thrown into the scales of our decision,
and her ships and armies shook in CORY
terror in our faces? Have we not twice
taught them 10 respect American valor, and
can we not, if stern necessity demands it, do
30 again? 1t is true the sword should be the
last argument in difference, but if England
by her hostile preparations has presented that
alternative, with her rests the responsibility
of the consequences. 1t is England not
America that refuses Cancellation.
But the cry of war has been raised too
often, and is as premature now as ever
There is not the slightest prospect for war
---except our home-bred traitors deceive our
enemy into the belief that she can conquer
through our dissentions. This cry of war
Is taken up by our Press as if there was no
loss to be sustained but by us. While Eng
land has Canada dscontented; Newfoundland
with its rich fisheries for prize; New Bruins
wick and Nova Scotia from which to improve
the settlement of the North Eastern Bound
sry; and the Bermudas and British West
India Islands to defend on the south, she
is more vulnerable than we can possibly be,
compact firm, and united as we are.
The President is determined to sustain
Western rights. prepared, like Jackson,
in his dealings with foreign nations, to ode
mand nothing but hatisright"-" clear and
unquestionable = and in this position ne will
be sustained, even if war should be the result.
We have yielded territory in Maine-we
have left the Caroline outrage without insist
ing on redress--we have received tame
apology for the insults and abuse received
by our citizens engaged in the African trade
--and we are now called upon to yield Ore
gon. Our concessions must stop somewhere,
and in the language of Cass, 1--WE had better
fight for the first foot of Oregon than the
last."
The people beyond the Rocky mountains
are one in origin, history, laws, principles,
and language with us, and they ought never
to be deserted, and cannot be separated
from us. The Rocky mountains half cen
tury hence will not form line Of separation
more than the Alleghanies do now.
