ocu,Np NOTHING BUT WHAT is RIGHT

This generous and noble sentiment, expressed
an the Characteristic energy Of the determined pa

!, avery American statesman. So noble declar.
',o should be treasured in the recollection Of
e,y American citizen, as motto for his guidance

!, conform its action to this memorable declaration
o(General Jackson.
To demand nothing more than our rights, and "a

The panic paragraphs upon "oregon" with which
4. onoostion prints are filed, have from time &c
-, BETRAYED, or affected, the most ridiculousy NOR
IA alarm. The Oregon topic is hardly ever alluded
! n certain quarters, without the accompanying
n,n;6sta,ion of a nervous fear of warllkc results
.u,hs to say no more, is incompatible with the
S.ov of our national courage, and disparagins tc

m,mphantly through two wars-wars waged
s,pst the very power whose resentment inspires
iii these alarms.
We do verify believe, that il one obstacle shal
,x,r, a greater efficacy in preventing satisfactory
and honorable adjustment Of the existing difficulties
,,ween this country and Great Britain, touching
he Oregon question, it will be the very exertions
which have been put forth here to sustain the Brit

But what have we witnessed ever since Mr.. Polk

sntmen, as expressed in the Baltimore reso-
mion, to declare his opinion of our right to the
Oregon territory? When that annunciation was
in made, so much was il thought in accordance
viii American opinion, that no word of censure was
snrsd against the President, for having proclaimed
ar lille '.cear and unquestonable." But when a
nna,ion was occasioned in England by this une-
quvocal declaration Of the President, then we find
for The first time that what had escaped the criticism
Of III. whig press in America, was vehemently de-
nounced by the opposition, as it had recently been
W the London Tines The natural consequence

What has been the effect of the course pursued

won the Oregon question: Can any one in this
country believe, for one moment, that the policy
adopted by these journals, with a view, as we be-
lee, to annoy the administration, 10 which they
are opposed, has not exerted a malign influence
abroad How can it be oherwise' II the English
government shall see us divided in opnionif il dis
