NEGOTIATION

One of the most mastery State papers which
has been issued, for many years past, by the Anne
rlcan Executive, 10 the letter Of Mr.. Buchanan to
MIR. Pskes ham, Of July IL, l845. 1t completely
annihilates the pTetensions of the British govern
menl to Oregon. 1t leaves them not an inch Of
ground 10 claim which an honest government
would urge. The two principal grounds Of the
British are, first, prior discovery, secondly, the
convention Of 1890 between Britain and Spain
Upon the FIRST, Mr.. Buchanan merely refers to the
conclusive argument Of Mr.. Calhoun, in his yorv
able letter of Sept. 3. 1874 a letter in which Mr.
Calhoun demonstrates the American title BY dis.
coyery, and against which Mr.. Pskenham nro,s
not even plausible argument. Mr.. Buchanan
h on considers the principal ground of the British
claim, the convention Of 1890, ground which tbs
British government occupy at every step of tho
negotiation, and shows that like the prouoa oe
discovery, it is entirely imaginary.
The British government urge that this conv.o-
ton Of 1890 gave to Britain the right Of os,ns.
nent occupation and settlement of Oregon M,
Buchanan shows that it merely gave to British
subjects in common with Spanish subjects The
right to land on The DnOccoped ports of the North
west coast, for the purpose Of trading with the
uyes. He shows that It comedies 10 Britain no
territorial jurisdiction, no ownership or right of 90.

A CHRISTMAS HYMN.

N.vas the calm and silent night!
Seven hundred years and fifty three
Had Rome been growing up to might,
And now was queen of land and sea
No sound was heard of clashing wars
Peace brooded DER the hushed domain:
Apollo, Pallas, Jove, and Mars,
Held undisturbea their ancient reign,
In the solemn midnight,
Centuries ago!
IT was in the calm and silent night!
The senator of naughty Rome
Impatient urged his chariot's fight,
From lordly revei Fastening home;
TSiumphal arches cleaning swell
His breast with thoughts of boundless sway
What rocked the Roman what befell
paltry province far away,
In the solemn midnight,
Centuries ago.
Within that province far away,
Went plodding home weary poor;
A streak of light before him lay,
Fallen through half-shut stable door
Access his path. He paused - for nuueht
Told what was going on within
How keen the stars his only thought,
The air, how calm, and cold, and thin,
In the solemn midnight,
Centuries ago!
o, strange indifference! low and high
OroUsed over common joys and cares;
Tb esr wor Was ssh s.'i h., knew not Why
How calm n moment may pTecede
One that sball thrill the world for everI
To that still moment none would heed
Mans doom was linked no more 10 sever
In the solemn midnight,
Centuries ago!
1t Is the calm and silent night,
thousand bells ring out, and throw
Their joyous peals abroad, and smite
The darkness,-chaTmed and holy now
The night that erst no shame had worn
10 happy name is given;
For in that stable lay, new. born,
The peaceful Prince Of earth and heaven,
In the solemn midnight,
Centuries ago!

for the frigale Cumberland. She has had very
narrow escape from the fate of the Missouri. The
Boston Post says" Just before coming to an
Choir !oPPosiie to The Navy Yard, she was dis
covered to be on fire in tho ceiling under the
berth deck, near the boiler. The powder was
taken out in boats, and water applied in buckets
by the crew; but the fire was not extnguished
till several engines were brought alongsde from
the Navy Yard and played into her."
