The Oregon Question-Another Var Blast-Ihe
Organ-The Admtnistra t,oa-Mr. Cdlhoun-His
Opposition Established, and the Opposition Of the
South, in the Senate, to the alternative Of War--A
plain State nent Of the Case.
The Union, OF last night, again approximates the
western idea of the action of the government IN the
settlement of the Oregon dispute. From an argu-
mentative and temporarily written leader Of several
columns, we deduce the following conclusions
That the President will assume the title to the whole
of Oregon up to "a deg 40 min.-that he will urge
the extension of our territorial laws said terri
torv after the expiration Of the twelve months
tice required to the abrogation OF the compact OF
Joint occupancy-that he Will, In the meantime,
urge upon Congress military road, military posts,
and mail line for the protection OF emlgrants on
the route to Oregon, for the accommodation OF the
settlers, and tor ntercommunicatlon with our ships
at the mouth OF the Columbia. There Is yet ques-
ton to be settled in this business, not concusively
foreshadowed by the organ. w the President re-
commend the foreclosure Of all negotiations 70 a
compromise Will ne urge the unconditional abro-
cation Of joint occupancy, with view TO lhe unco,
dional extension Of our laws over Oregon up TO o.
deg 40 mint II is clearly understood that WI WI;
Buchanan and Mr.. Pakenham have SUSPENDED al
consultations on the subject-that Mr.. McLane mas
nothing to do with that ne mas nern 81 y, maxi
him feel apprehensve that the British Caolhet may
dstmst the faith OF the administration In the MINIS
ter Of ITS own deliberate appointment

the issue of the whole of Oregon or none, and now
or never" being arrested in the Senate, without
question The President may recommend the
acompromse at the lannon's mouth" the House
NAV approve it, but the Senate will not endorse q;
South Carolina is resolved against it. Georgia will
cooperate with her, and the bill is defeated
The Union, however, will have gained the great
desideratum- SURFACES Of the Oregon men Of
the West for the printing, by the bold organic ana
oracular stand which it has assumed on tne oregon
question, to which we have no oo)ection. Inc
