The OREsoN NESorIATIoN.---There has been a
rumor current at Washington that our govern
ment had offered as the utimatum, the 49th de-
gree of latitude for the northern boundary of the
Oregon. This would be compromise resgning
to English usurpation the most valuable harbors
on the coast north of California; while our right.
full claim extends to latitude Sd deg. 40 min.,
incl uding the best harbors in the territory,
leaving us only the mouth of the Columbia, rem
dered highly dangerous by bar that has already
wrecked several vessels. The great value of the
Oregon is, as the prospective channel for the trade
of China, India, and the South Seas, which would
be diverted from us by such a surrender. 1t is
not, however probable, nay, scarcely possible,
that the government should have made flourish
of trumpets about this territory, merely to call the
attention of the world to an ignominious yielding
of rights which we knew to be such, yet shrunk
from maintaining. With the dying Jackson, the
West seeks 6 no compromise of our right to Ore
gon, but at the cannon's mouth" But the firm
character of Mr.. Polk evinced in seasons Of far
greater difficulty than this-the barrier of the
Senate-the patriotic course of Mr.. Buchanan, the
Secretary of State, while U. S. Senator, assure
us that the Democratic administration will not
sully their country's honor by SO humiiatng a
derelietion of our soil. The report to us by
way of the N. Y. Tribune, and will prove an af-
frmance Of that as true which is desired.

DEPOSIT BANKs--SECRETARY WAL
KER. AND THE WOOSTER CON-

DEP 0SlT BANKS--SECRETARY WAL
KER. AND THE WOOSTER CON-
Germ.
A late number Of the Cleveland Herald
says that the Bank of Wooster has been
made one of the, government depositories.
We know not what degree OF credit should
be given 10 this report Were il not for the
fact that lhe managers Of the Wooster con-
Icem reside in Cleveland, We should at once
denounce it as untrue. That fact alone
gives the rumor some degree of credit
We can scarcely deem tpossible that Mr.. .
Secretary Walker would risk the safety Of
the public money in an institution believed
by many TO be unable TO redeem lis 'enor-
nous issues, and whose notes were sold at IA
discount in Cincinnati short time since,
under the beliof of IFS insolvency. In addi-
ton to this, we cannot entertain for one mo-
ment the idea, unless Mr.. Walker has been
grossly deceived, that he would place the
funds of the government on deposit in an in
stitution whose whole aim for the past eigh-
teen months, besides shaving, seems 10 have
been directed to the prostralon of democra-
icy of Ohio--in bank which is owned and
governed by set of men whose conduct
last fall lost us the State, elected Barley
Governor. and gave the vote of Ohio TO Clay,
and entaiIed upon the people all the villain
Gus laws enacted by the last Legislature
The "Daily Union," a short time since,
stated that the number of deposit banks
were to be decreased, until Congress could
take action on the subject. If this rumor be
true, it seems that they are TO be increased
that The powers of these institutions for evil
are TO be strengthened.--Ohio Statesman.

ANNEXATION OF TExAs.-We rejoice that this
great measure is now only matter Of detail, not
simply that it adds vast territory to our already
wide domain, but because it has been effected in
spite Of the open efforts of England and the covert
efforts Of France to counteractit In Europe un-
der the pretence of maintaining the balance of
power, England, and the powers forming the Ho-
" Alliance have nterfered in every demonsra-
ton made by the People against oppression, and
always in favor Of despotism To this meddling
spirit, the horrors Of the French Revolution, and
the career of Napoleon may be traced. And it
was the protocols of Lord Palmerston which
forced Leopold upon the People of Belgium, and
Otho upon those of Greece-Kings whom they
did not want, in place of Republics, which they
desired. But for this fell influence many Euro
pean nations, now in comparative slavery, would
be free; and our Joy at the contamination OF an
nexaon, springs from the fact that the first ack-
nowledged attempt to exert like influence upon
this new continent has failed-and that most sig
nally. M. Guizot, the French Minister, has al
ready Withdrawn his cooperation from England
in the Texan matter, and we would be no way
surprised at disavowal of Mr.. Eiot's acts in
reference to Texan annexation by the British mi
mister. But whether acknowledged or not, their
defeat will be lesson to the meddlers of Europe
TO confine their corrupt diplomacy, and unasked
interference to soil where it will BIO better re-
,eeived than with us. ....

MORE RAG MILLs--LooK oUT-Under the
Wing Blinking Law of last winter about a
dozen new banks are to be established III
Ohio, some of which are almost ready for
operation, also State Bank with eight
branches. Believing, as we do, that il is as
impossible, as for camel to go through the
eye of needle, for banking law to be
framed which Can indemnify the people
against loss, we can do no less than to eau
ton our friends against receiving the worth
less issue. Heaven has once more vouch-
safed 10 our farmers beautiful harvest, and
these Bank scoundrels stand thick on every
side for the purpose of filling their own
pockets with the spoils. Let every man who
has bushel of wheat to sell, after paying
his, honest debts, be careful what kind Of
funds he receives in payment for it. The
printed rag which may be worth dollar TO-
day, may not be worth farthing tomorrow.
There is specie enough at the East to buy
your wheat, and you should insist upon ha-
wing specie funds for it. The merchant or
miller who buys your wheat, gets his silver
for it, and why should not you? Is not a
dollar worth as much to you as to them?-
We say again, look out for these Buckeye
rags. The banking system in Ohio, was
conceived in sin, and spawned in iniquity,
and no honest man can touch it without get
ting defled. Goshen Democrat

letter from the Secretary OF the Treasury t'
one of the editors Of the INSISTS; ;;rn.oian We

IMPORTANT MOVEMENT OF TROOPS.

We learn, from gentleman who arrived
last evening from Natchitoches, that, on
Sunday evening last, messenger from
Washington reached Gen. Tayler-the Off
Ger in command at Fort Jesup-with orders
to pu. his troops in motion for the Rio
Grande. Immediate preparations were made
for start; and, on Wednesday, two regi-
menis of infantry were TO leave on steam
boats for this city, while the I'd regiment of
mounted Dragons, under the command of
Colonel Twigs, was to strike across through
Texas. The infantry will probably reach
this city 10 day or 10 morrow, where they
will probably remain until transports can be
engaged TO take them to the mouth of the
Grande. We hear it said, that the Sqndron
under, the command of Commodore Stock
ton will probably come upto take the troops
over: but this is, 10 say the least, very doubt

WHAT WE DETEsT.-Nothing under the
"wide canopy" do we despise more, than to
see democratic editors digging each other
under the 3" fifth rib," about matters which
are indicative of no good feeling, and such
too, as are calculated to stir up discord and
make divisions in the party, as some of our
brethren in the State arc doing. We should
be glad to see our friends of the Press pull
together, and brotherly-love existing in every
quarter. Let the motto be Every thing for
the cause--Nothiug for Men, and we will
be able to sDim over all things of minor
nature.-Gucrnsey Je6ersoaian.

GENERAL JAcKsoN-sAN JAclNTo,

My Iast contained an original anecdote H.
Illustrative of Gen. Jackson's deep and supe-
ror knowledge of the human heart. As
with the eye of intuition, he penetrated the
characters of men. The following aneed6te
has been related to me id proof Of his extra
ordinary military sagacity:
When the hostilities between Texas and
Mexico, some years since, had noarly reach
ed their climax, and public expectation was
on constant tip-toe 10 hear of some decisive
engagement, a gentleman called to see the
old General at the "White House" He
found him alone, holding in his hand morn
ing paper, and intent on tracing the outlines
of map that was suspended from the wall
The general invited his friend to his side,
and then remarked -" have been engaged
in tracing on this map the relative position Of
the Texan and Mexican armies, in order to
discern their several advantages and disad-
vantages. now declare TO you, my dear
sir, that if my old friend and companion in
arms, Gen. Houston, is worth one bdubee,
he will cut Santa Annals army to pieces
at this point" The remark was attended
with such peculiar emphasis, that the gentle
man was induced 10 remember the place
thus singled out. IT WAS SAN JAcINTo.-
In less than a fortnight thereafter, intelli-
gence of Houston's victory on that sacred
spot was received, thus demonstrating the
almost more than human sugacity of cold
Hickory" At the distance of many thou
sand miles, by the faint outlines of a musty
chart, he was able TO foresee the result to
which his old associate could direct the strug-
gle, if he but comprehended his position
He did comprehend it, aud won the battle,

"The Wing Press, as a general thing in
the United States, is enlisted in the cause Of
good morals, learning and benevolence.-
Amongst their party they find enrolled al
most the whole of the clergy of the United
States. A Locofoco minister is about as
rare as white crow. For clergymen. to
be locofoco, is to be without influence g.
without respect. The moment he is known
to hold the opinions of that party, his picty
is questioned, and his sincerity more than
questioned. d."-MiIUauke Sentinel. - 49,
In alluding to Mr.. George R. Hazwell's
denial of his being still minister of the
gospel, the Maumee Riper Times says:-
ga change of opinion it seems is the
cause of Mr.. Hazwel's forsaking his former
profession. Well we should think that "a
change of opinion would be necessary in
making Locofoco out of minister of the
Gospel" .-@ ..
PoLIrIcAL RELsIoN-of the many pretensions
of the day 10 secure popular favor without merit,
the whig claim to all the religion and morals in
the land would be the most amusingly ridiculous
was it not at the same time as insulting as it is
false. We never felt disposed to resent their
claim to all the "wealth" and s. rsspectability;"
we looked upon it as vain but silly boast, de
serving no more serious notice than laughter
But that party whose only faith is in mans sell
fshness-a party infdel to all the nobler hopes
of humanity, which sees human progress only in
the exaltation of capital and special privileges
that such party should condemn the Democracy
for a deficiency in religion and morals, exceeds
the legitimate limit of whg pretension, and calls
for rebuke. If, indeed, the ministers of Christ
were confined to the whig party, we should only
consider that they had mistaken their duty, and
look forward to q coming reformation. Such,
however, is not the fact. Their political senti-
ments are divided, and Democracy has her share
of the ablest, the purest and the best American
divines But she relies not upon this. She seeks
no adventitous aid. Conscious of the greatness
other mission, she is employed in calling attention
neither to her wealth, her respectability, or her
piety-but she holds forth political truth and
right to the acceptance of men ;--these are her
jewels, which the world may win and wear, and
their lustre needs no additions from other sources
however excellent. But our opponents seem to
have no such consciousness, and destitute of
confidence in themselves-they are ready to coun-
torfcit anything in the hope of winning office.
