nIn.sachu.etr. Election.

IX;h District We await with patience the result
Were it no, for Abolitionism, Natvism and such
enemies of the Wing Cause, we would have no
doubt of Massachusetts. Even j, is, We hope
the Wings will gain substantial victory over the
opposing Triad
On Friday evening there was grand rally IN
Faneul Hail. Boston, where, after the organization
and the reading OF series OF Resolutions. Hon r.
C. WINTHROP addressed the Meeting. He said that
the Wings of Massachusetts were mot tired OF op-
posing the Annexation OF Texas. Ii is well for
the harmony OF tie Meeting that Editors Webb
and Brooks were not present, or they would have
contradicted MIN on the spot Mr.. WEBSTER would
have Jared still worse.
We are sorry thu! we can find room only for two
or three extracts from Mr.. WEBsTER's speech, as
follows:
suppose il is the sentiment Of every sensible and
just man. that the preservation OF he peace OF the
country honorable and under circumstances
favorable The great interests Of the country Is an OBJ
ect in Itself highly desirable. suppose may take It
for granted that IN the judgment OF this assembly Inc
public peace OF great commercial countries which
hold together daily intercourse exceeding that between
other Two countries in the world shall ot be lightly
disturbed.
1t appears that this Oregon is subjec. for negota
ton Tor discussion for amcabIe settlement; and so il
has been regarded by both FOR the whole
length OF time. Ii was because the governments
could not agree as to the proper division o, the territory
upon any other satisfactory arrangement that IN ISIS
they determined joint occupation until they could
cone understanding about IT, And with the
game spirit this government three different times. IN
1919 in 1924 in -6, has proposed 10 the British Gov
crrment straight line OF division, the parallel 81 i9o
all north OF which should be assigned to England and all
south belong 20 America.
What the British Minister said in the House OF Com.
nons--in its and substance-was that England had
rights IN regard this question that must be and would
be respected. adopt the same language on our side
and say that also rights that ought 10 be- must
be and will be respected
Where is Oregonl On the shores of the Pacific three
thousand miles from and twice as tar from England
undoubtedly from England but all Ang!o- imer'cdHs

and all setdcpenden And now let me ask II there be
any sensible in the United States who VIII say Tor
moment, that when fifty hundred thousand persons
Of this description shall ind themselves on the shores OF
the Pacific Ocean tha, they will long consent to be IN
der the rules either of the American Congress or the
British Parliament They will raise standard tor them
selves. and they ought do II. look forward TO the
periot when they Will do this not so far distant but
that many present. and those not among the young

believe that il is in the OF Providence and OF hui

American descent whose power will be established over
the country the shores OF the Pacific; and that all

country.
But gentlemen, in this point OF view is this subject
upon which is proper by popular appeal or by loud
representations o. PATRIOTISM or by sort OF stormy de-
ance of the power OF great nation on our slGe.-s IL
proper on the other side by cries about the maritime as
cendancy of England the great wealth. The dignity the
power the martial prowess OF Engand-is II question
which, by outcres OF this sort on either side oil the
these great communities are TO be em6rohed
and plagued in all their commercial and friendly relations
or 10 be compelled into the horrors oil war no.

have said will not undertake TO express An opinion
as 10 the manner in which the question may be settled
will say however what appears TO be natural 1t is
well known that the i9h degree OF North latitude Is the
boundary line between the Western part OF this coun
try and the British provinces as lar as the loot OF the
Stony Mountains 1t seems be natural enough il the
two governments contemplate change that they should
agree to an extension OF this same line Westward thai
the should keep on abreast SIDE by SIDE win tue
same line of division till they reach the Paclhc Ocean
1t is well known that about where the Columbia crosses
the 10Th parallel it makes turn and flows nearly South
ward. Very well. Suppose it made as sudden sweep
TO the Sorhward. England would then naturally say
this river which has been making Westward sweeps 10
the Northwurd Instead OF making with II great bend
the North will leave II and 20 on straight 10 me

same reason il unnatural for the United States TO

Sou.h-nsead of following that circuit We Will go

This very proposition has been made to the British
government three successive times 1t was made IN L.

to the foot of the Rocky Mountains, but over the Noun

OF the territory But do say that has been
