 Dr. Mclaughlin. who Is a very courteous, intel ligen and generous nan, oi grea, wealth, and ehel factor of the H. B.

N. latitude their northern boundry, that the H. B. Co.,, talk and act otherwise | in Oregon.
 | That England will never give up inch of land north of the Columbia, if she help it, IS very | certain; and Dr. Mclaughlin last spring went so
 far even 10 cause tree 10 be cut down winch iao the initials ofan American citizens name on II! and | threw into the Columbia, and also a log cabin with it, because it built ihe north side of iie | Columbia river, near Fort Vancouver.

 But, sir. l am not surprised at Dr. Mclaughlin
 'unbl lded audacity' for he remarked to me last | March, ihat he was of the opinion that the most
 proper way To settle the Oregnn question between
 the two Governments was for 'lhe Uniled States to
 yield 10 England, all North of.he Colombia, and
 take in lieu of the Harbor of Pnget Soun, San
 Francisco Bay, in California" And this opinion ol
