houn TO some citizens of Mobile, id reply to one
inviting him TO visit that city and accept pub
lie dinner. MIR Calhoun in his feply refers to
the Texas aud Oregon questions. In relation to
the latter he says -
"The absorbing character ofthe negotiation
in reference to Texas, did not SO engross my at
tention as to neglect that Of Oregon. As soon as
the former was sufficiently despatched ard the
business Of the department brought up, | Ientered
on that. left il in an unfinished state and as
it is still pending, am not at liberty TO seak Of
the courseT took in reference to it but | trust
when it becomes to be made public, il will not
be less successful in meeting your appreciation
and that Of the country generally II is a Sub
jcct not without great difficulties, and feel as
sured I shall be pardoned for expressing hope
that il may be so conducted by those to whose
hands il s entrusted to finish the negotiation, as
| to bring il to- successful and satisfactory terni
nation, and TINS avoid an appeal to arms. Neither
country can gain anything by such an appeal, OF
can possibly desire it if it can be honorably

frauded his neighbor of four or five hundred dol
lars, but also threw the suspicion o. crime upon
the head of that neighbor.
"Stung by remorse the perjurcr left that COM

many years, justice laid her heavy iron grasp
efpoverty, sickness and misery. He became
an inmate of our township hospital, the poor

confession of the crime, and as feeble token

The Plain Dealer adds 1.-THE confession
was sent, but so incredible did the story appear,
and 20 fixed were the impressions of the citi.
