The Rumored settlement OF the Oregon
Question.
The Union newspaper refers TO the statement of
our Washington correspondent relative to the preva-
lence OF the rumor that Mr.. Buchanan, on the part
Of this government, and Mr. Pakenham on that
of Great Britain, had settled upon the forty-nnh
degree ofnorth latitude as the highest point of the
northern boundary of the territory Of the United
States west OF the Rocky Mountains, and the
organ asserts in It's usual doenlatic way" we
undertake to affirm that no such arrangement has
been effected" Now, this may be all very well as
corrective of the perhaps too settled affirmation OF
our correspondent. However, he only stated what
was prevalent rumor in circles supposed to be well
informed, and after all the statement of the Union
does not absolutely contradict his assertion, meet
the point at issue.
Does the U1ion mean TO say that no such plan of
compromise has been the subject of negotiation be-
tween Mr.. Buchanan and Mr.. Pakenham! No, il
does not In the very terms Of its statement affect
ing contradict that Of our correspondent, there is
vagueness which strengthens and establishes, not
disslpaes and scatters to the winds the rumors rife
Washington on the subject of the settlement OF the
deems ii necessary to contradict. The truth is we
are quite persuaded that some plan Of compromise
has been under discussion We did not assert that
1t had been agreed upon. We only gave additional
publicity to what was talked of in all the political
circles at Washington. And the matter remains just
precisely where it The paragraph in the Union
has left speculation and sumse the same freedom OF
action and has cast doubt on the probability Of
the opinion SO generally formed.
We only repeat here what we have so often men
toned, this Oregon question cannot be settled on
any terms compromising the claims of the United
States in any degree. Mr.. Folks stands committed
10 the highest ground on this point We do not see
how he can retreat from it. At all events the great
popular masses willn retreat. Every inch of Ore
gon Is 10 be possessed and embraced within the in
fuence of the institutions and laws of this great re-
pubic In the vast and fertile regions of the West
ern States, new power has of late years grown up
IN this country There all the political strength and
majesty of the republic appear to be gathering. No
admnistratlon-no set of men can successfully en-
ter into the field OF struggle against the impulses and
Will OF the western people On this Oregon question
what those impulses and what that will are, is well
enough known. We have not, then, the least ap-
prehenslon with regard TO the final settlement of this
controverted question The honor and dignity ofthe
republic will be maintained and our just claims fully
established
NEGRO lNsuRREcTIoN ~ MARYLANp.-This move
ment OF the negroes In Maryland, according to all
accounts from Washington, is quite alarming No
thing like II has taken place since the time of the
great Southampton insurrection or massacre pro
duced by the agitation of the abolitonists through
the northern presses. No doubt this attempt of the
negroes IN Maryland has been produced by the same
iniiuences-the recent agitation of the slavery oues-
ton, both north and south, and various movements
OF the abolltlonists in the free States And the
worst OF It ls, that can hardly hope that the mis
chief will stop here. There is every reason to be-
lieve that still more desperate and bloody
movement will take place ere long The collection
OF an hundred negroes, and the march upon the
State of Pennsylvania, would seem TO indicate thar
new idea has seized the minds of these creatures
What is there to prevent the organization of large
bands of negroes in all the States adjacent to free
States, and universal system of nsurrection nd
rebellion, and all produced by the agitation of the
rabid politicians and frantic fanatics who are mar
shaled under the banner Of aboitionism!

matters, however, will be settled by our Congress
