The Oregon Question.

We see the folly of allowing the settlement of
the Oregon boundary to be postponed, when Mr..
Webster adjusted the northeastern boundary with
Lord Ashburton. 1t was excellent bargain which
Britain at that time made with u.s. taking territory
which extremely convenient for her to possess,
and to which the British ministry knew from docu-
ments in their possession, that she had title. So
eager, however the ministry to obtain favorable
settlement of the controversy, that might, beyond
all doubt, have effected final and satisfactory adjust
ment of the great Oregon question, if had insisted
as We ought upon adjusting them by the same treaty.
Mr.. Tyler's administration might have then been
able to set off good bargain in regard TO the north
western frontier, against bad bargain IN regard to
the northeastern.
We now hear from MIR. Archer, who expounds the
mysteries Of our foreign relations to the United States
Senate that We are shortly to know the result Of
" attempted negotiation with Great Britain for the
settlement of the Oregon question. The golden
moment was allowed to pass, and all that Mr. Tyler's
administration has to say the country is that IT has
attempted negotiation, with view OF persuading
Britain to recognize title to the region of the
Oregon. Congress has been induced to abstain from
any steps towards taking possession of our territory
beyond the Rocky hounta ms, and extending over it
our Government and our laws lest such proceedings
should disturb and Illustrate the ingenious train OF
diplomacy which Mr.. Tyler's administration was
laying to surprise the country with nai and most
advantageous settlement of that long pending dispute
More than two years have elapsed SINCE the treaty
was agreed upon by Mr.. Webster and Lord Ashburtou
it sent to the Senate the 18th of August,
l542-the country has since been waiting to see
the administration win back on the Oregon question
the honor lost the question of the Northeastern
boundary; and from time to time rumors of active
correspondence between the two Governments and
near approach to satisfactory termination of the
controversy have been permitted to reach US.
And now, just Ar Tyler,s administration. i.
about to expire, it comes before the country with
barren story Of an attempted negotiat. on" W,
have little curiosity, for part to know the partcu
lars Of its history; the phrase used by Mr.. Archer
expresses much could be told in volume o
documents printed by order of Congress.-Nea0 YOrI

port. 1t will arrive in winter to be sure, but winter
in Rio Janeiro is small affair. The ice is brought
down from the deposItorIes on the Hudson in large
boats built for the purpose and passed ship board
with little labor, making the cost on board only about
FIVE dollars ton. Vessels which are going in bal
last, fill mp with it at very cheap rate that If
they sell but small portion Of the whole, the opera
ton will be good one. The trade we have no doubt,
is to be still very widely extended. In fact if only
sufficient protection were granted to Jack Frost Co.
we have doubt that ice enough might be manuiac-
tured in the u States to supply the whole world But
as II Is, Jack has to contend with the pauperlsm Of
Europe and the various protective tariffs Of the world
while all the American industry of his business is left
to the tender mercies of free trade.
One good thing the ice trade has accomplished, be-
yond the money that has been made by extending the
luxury to our brethren elsewhere-it will always have
