general Editor and of course two independent
minds will sometimes differ in attempting to est-
mate the precise influence Of proposed measures on
the future. Our views to the effect OF the
.Independent Treasury have been repeatedly set
forth Ifthe plan is executed in good taith-none
of your sham Bankchecking thimbe rigs, like the
Van Buren, Sab Treasury--it cannot fail to compel
an immense contraction Of Bank loans and issues or

is resuscitated the stringent effect Will be compare

from our City, is out in Slamm's Globe with letter
TO the late Tammany Meeting intended to fan the
flames of hostility on the Oregon Question. He IN
usts on extending our jurisdiction up to 540 40'
pettogs the whole question of title, and says OF the
Nootka Convention, (which expressly conceded 10
Great Britain the right, among Others TO make
,ettlements" on the whole Pacific Coast North of
lat 400, that it conferred on Great Britain
no Joint sovereignty in the sol-no division or sc-
knowIcdpuent of tite-no participation IN Me rights Of
,afn but merely and solely the privilege Of trading with
he Indians while the country unsettled and of con
srrctng the necessary appendages for that purpose
/, seems quite superfluous in the Hon. Member TO
proceed after this, TO argue that whatever rights
were guaranteed to Great Britain by that Treaty
were terminated by the breaking out OF War be
tween spain and Great Britain in 1896. Having
made ont his case sufficiently, he should stop and not
damage it by dangerous additions. He proceeds to
say:
"There 10 time when nations must not compromit
the public honor and renqush the public rights for no
other sake than that Of peace. consclen-
onsy believe that this long proraced question Is not

Ways and Means or in some post Of like impor,

E The Journal Of Commerce says that the
President is warped by influences favorable TO War
measures, and adds that
"The Wings for the most part look in silence or
cry steboy," and thus honest men are In danger OF
thinking emost the whole country demented and pant
Ing for war;"
We respectfully suggest that this is untrue and
unjust. The Whg Press is nobly doing its duty TO
the Country and TO Humanity in opposition to the
War Spirit,
