War Preparations IN England =
The London Times, received by the
Caledonia, which arrived at Boston
few days ago, says that "the dock
yards and naval arsenals of England
exhibit extraordinary activity at the
present moment. In many Of the out.
ports steam frigates of the largest class
have been ordered by government. !"
The Times then asks, "whence this
warlike activity, = Those who
profess to see farther into a milestone
than any of their neighbors, point ia
Oregon for solution ofthe mystery.''
It would seem, then, that the English
are preparing TO meet "Young jack
SON." whenever he shall dare to assert
our title OF the Territory of Oregon
The Times further says that the "com-
parative weakness ofthe Wings in the
House, and strong feeling which in
fluences large portion Of the citizens
of the United States upon this ques-
ton, are adduced as potent reasons
for the preparations for the onslaught, of
which the doek-yards Of Britain give
undubitable proof" They(th English)
seem to think that their interests would
be promoted, ia this matter, if the
Wings had possession Of the govern
men:. But we think they will be con-
vinced, when Congress takes action
upon the oregonques!ion, that there
will be no division among the PEOPLE,
irrespective Of party distinctions, how.
ever much certain Federal editors may
defend the British side of the question.
1t is a great national question, upon
which all, democrats and wings, will
send forth one voice for the maintain
ance of our rights, when those rights
shall be clearly ascertained. Let the
British send on their iron steamers,
and their wooden steamers, to sustain
the interests ofthe Hudson's Bay Com
pany. Mr.. Polk and his advisers will
be prepared for any emergency that
may arise. The threatenings of the
British, thus given out in advance,
in the smooth language of the Times,
will have no influence upon the mea-
sures of the administration. We shall
see, by-and-bye, what will grow out
Of these "War preparations in En-
gland.''
.Ntsao York Elections. -The Morning
News gives official returns of the
vote in the city for Register, State Sc
nator, and members o. Assembly,
The result is, tina. the whole Democrat
ic tickets elected, by large majorities,
over Wings, Natives, and National Re-
making fourteen representa-
tiyes in the Legislature, viz: | Sena-
tor and Is Assemblymen. The News
has no doubt Of Democratic majority
in the Legislature, Notwithstanding
'the various causes which have warred
against our party in the struggle just
closed"
The tone idea party the Native
.4mericans-,he real big Thunder
and "Instenuggee" men-have been
most soundly and righteously dubbed.
All parties stood aloof from them
II has been but q short time slace this
