The SEcRETARY OF STATE-Since
the receipt of the news from Great
Britain informing Us of the belligerent
determination of the British govern
ment on the question of Oregon, the
whig press are lavish of their praise of
the "prudence and discretion" of James
Buchanan. They mistake their man.
There is no statesman in the country
upon whom we rely with more conf
dencc than upon Pennsylvanla's favor
ite son; and so do the people of the
Union. Who has not read his able
speeches on this same Oregon question?
TO be sure he differed from Mr.. Cal
houn, but his difference arose from the
fact that he believed our right to The
whole Of the Oregon was unquestiona-
Bile. We heard his speech on the Tex
as question delivered at the late session
Of Congress, and remembered an Incl
dent there which told MIR. Buchanan's

OUR FOREIGN RELATIONS.

=
We have no time to touch these ques- (
tions this evening, even If the time had
arrived for the purpose. Oregon ap-
pears to be rising into the great ques-
ton Of the day. We say that we are
surprised at the language attributed to
Sir Robert Peel and Lord Aberdeen in
Parliament. Are not they badly re.
ported? or is it possible that these states
men should have fallen into the errors
which distinguish their speeches? 8
In the course of day or two, we
shall animadvert on the positions which
they have taken. We may even COM
mcnce the series of structures tenor
row. One thing is certain-we cannot
abandon the great interests of our coun-
try to their blunders or even to their
menaces. This snot the way for John
Bull to deal with Uncle Sam. The pub
lie sentiment of our people will stand
by our administration. Even if we
were disposed to question the public
spirit of the whig party, they would
surely hesitate to singe their fingers
again, after they have been so much
scorched by the Texas fame. But we
shall have no anti-Oregon party. The
North. as well as the South, will unne
with the West on this subject. Let
Great Britain be well assured oft fact.
The Texas question is still undeci-
ded. We und 'rstand that dispatches
have been received from Major Uonel-
son down to the Sd ult. The reply of
President Jones has not yet been re-
ceiyed TO his communications. We
have fresh and undoubted assuran ces,
that the people of Texas are most de-
cidedly in favor of annexation, and will
not yield the point to their present Pres
ident or his advisers. Let Gen. Hous-
ton consult his own high character by
speaking outin favor ofannexation, and
all would be well Immediately. But
whatever course few prominent gem
tlemen may take, we do not doubt the
people, the course they will pursue, or
the ultimate success of the measure
England may seek to stave off the re-
suit, by advising the governmentof pro-
crastlnation, or by interposing its pro-
position of independence. But moth
ing, we trust and believe, can defent it.
The timeis athand, when the-peopleof
Texas will speak language which the
world cannot misunderstood. sat5aos
As for Mexico, she may buster, She
may be induced to 60 TO acertain point,
by the hopes Of British co operation.--
She may threaten restrictions upon our
commerce; but it is not to be believed
that either Mexico or England will be
mad enough to disturb the peace ofthe
world. jpgr dsi2 ssss "a .ssY's

OUR COUNTRY.

UNPRECEDENTED PRosPERiTY.-NeVer
since our country has been discovered
and populated, or since we have been
governed by the institutions under
which we now live and exercise the
rights of freemen, has one and every
branch ofdomestic industry been more
hourishing than at present. From the
North and from the South, from the
East and from the West, come sounds
pleasing to our ears, of activity in bu-
siness, impulse to trade, &C., &c. We
do not attribute this entirely to the cleo
ton of James X. Polk, and the conse-
quent ascension of Democratic meas
ures, but it is measurably, we may say
mainly, caused by these facts. Our
country has been for some time gradu-
ally arising from the troubles into which
she was thrown by the evils consequent
upon an unrestricted paper currency.
We are now reaching the very height,
perhaps, to which we can expect to as
cend. Every branch Of industry is
receiving Its reward, and a just, settled
policy, on the part of the general gov
ernment, is all that is required to pro-
long, if not perpeluate, such blessings.
If Col. Polk had not been elected, the
probability is, the same immediate stim-
ulus would have been given to business;
but that it would not have been SO stea-
dy, or wholesome in its operation, we
think is as just an inference as the spec.
ulative schemes which his opposing
party advocated can afford. Nothing
is more necessary for the interests Of
our country than decisive administra-
tion, a fixed policy, and men of great
moral and intellectual worth in the res
ponsible executive positions. All these
advantages we have, TO an eminent de-
gree, at the present moment; and can
II be doubted that they tend greatly to
influence every interest throughout the
land? Had the wings succeeded and
elected their great and popular leader
to the executive chair of our republic,
with their known feelings enlisted in
distribution and assumption, there is no
fixing the limits to which speculation
would have been carried there is no
knowing the bounds at which capital
lists would have stopped. Our Temporal
ry prosperity would have been equal if
not greater than at present, but it would
have been reared upon frail founda-
ton, and, like the babble created by
the mighty heaving Of the excited sea,
would have enjoyed short life, too
soon to burst and show its nothingness.
Now we have no cause to apprehend
such disaster, Our onward march
has been gradual one. Traced to Its
origin, it may be found in the smould-
ering ruins OF the bank Of the United
States. Had that institution never ex-
isted, we would never have suffered
the calamities through which our coun-
try has recently passed. If it is never
resusciiated, we will have no just cause
to fear them in future. That a demo-
cratic administration will breathe life
into its carcass, we deemit almost use
less to deny. Every democrat has

A HORRIBLE DRAMA letter fror

A HORRIBLE DRAMA.-A letter from
Stuttgart of 18th of June, gives this descrip-
ton of an interrupted execution -
Marguerite Rudhardt was condemned to
death for poisoning her husband with arsenic.
Executions are here performed with the sword.
The sufferer is made to kneel, the eyes ban
dagcd, and then one of the assistants throwing
himself down on the scaflold, seizes the victim
By the thighs, and there holds him, while an
other assistant seizes the hair, draws back the
head by II, and exposes the throat to the exc
c%utioner, who with a two-handed sword cuts
off the head. At the instant when the execu-
toner was about to strike the fatal stroke in
this case, a man with a stentorian voice rush
ed through the crowd crying stop, stop, and
holding up a white handkerchief-the execu-
toner dropped his sword, the assistants releas-
ed their hold, the prisoner rose, and as her eyes
were u~nbandaged smiled %serenely on the as
sembled crowd-when 10! it was found that
there was no pardon, that this interruption
was the expedient of an old servant of the
woman's father who hoped thus to obtain a
respite for her, and ultimately a pardon.
Alter a dreadful half hours delay, the pris-
oner was again bound, and her head fell upon
the scailold at the first blow.
