OREGoN-The Washington Union--in other
words, the government organ--of recent date,
thus opens an article Of some length on this ques-
ton:
"TnE WHOLE OF OREGON OR NoNE--his is the
only alternative an issue Of territorial right. We
wholly deny the break in the American Tile at lati-
tude 49 degrees. We hold that our title from AZ
degrees to 50 degrees 40 minutes is title, and,
as we believe, perfect title against the world"
So-do we. So does every body, Of every party,
who knows how to maks up an opinion, and feels
an interest in the honor of his country.--.'itmphis
(Tsnn.) Appeal.
The daily union. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1845-1857, 1845-11-28
But is this supposition correctl-- Union.
From the Madison INDIANA, Courier.

IRON the Madison (ntiana) Courier
WAB!--some of the wing papers have recently
been badly scared, because article in the Wash.
ington Union contained the following; .fT6e whole
of Oregon none-ts is the only alternative, as an
issue of territorial right" They thought this equiv
alent TO declaration of war, because Great Britain
claimed part of Oregon.
Now, il they will show US the place where our
government has ever admitted that any part or par
eel of Oregon belonged to Great Britain we will
consider ourselves greatly indebted 10 the who
shall give us the information. If they cannot show
this, why should the wing press rail so much about
war; Are they afraid that we shall be so much the
losers in the contest; or have they sympathy with
England which prompts them 10 advocate her usur-
palions as a positive right II is, indeed strange
that the mass of the wing party are on the foreign
side of every controversy between our own and
other nations 1t was so in regard to the purchase
Of Louisiana, it SO in regard TO the annexation
Of Texas, il is so now about the occupation Of
Oregon.
The declaration that we have right to the whole
of Oregon Is no new thing; and the contrary has
never been admitted. The convention which nom-
mated james X. Polk for the presidency declared
that "our title to the whole Of Oregon is Gear and
unquesonabie;" and the people reiterated il, in the
election of the nominee OF that convention. Is it
possible that these things have before been OBJ
served by wing press do they wish to create the
impression that the administration is not acting in
accordance with the principles upon which it came
into poweri II the latter be their object, they win
as assuredy fail in their undertaking as that they
are disposed TO favor the assumptions of Great
Britain in opposition to the clear right Of our own
country.
II war is the necessary consequence of our main
tanning our right, we say, let US have war. Peace
between two such nations and Great Brit
ain is certainly very desirable; but we should scorn
to accept il by yielding single particle of our right
We have less to fear than Great Britain; and il she
imprudeniy begins the contest let her stand by the
consequences.

TOM THUMB.

THIS celebrated dwarf, who has been so cor
daily received in all the principal cities of the
United States, is holding his levee at the odcon
Hail, corner Of ~ street and Pennsylvania aven, Q,
where he may be seen from o'clock, a. m, to ?,
D. m. This wonderful man is 20 years old, and
only 81 inches high being smaller than any child
thnt can walk. He is active and intelligent; and
never has a human being Of any size been blessed
with more excellent disposition; and this, with his
extraordinary small stature, has induced thousands
of persons, after seeing him once, to become his al
most daily vsiters especially the ladies, with whom
he 4 a universal favorite. The Colonel leaves the
civ on Monday next for the South. Therefore, we
advise all who wish the greatest curiosity of
human nature ever known TO exist, TO call at the
odeon this week, or they will never have similar
opportunity.
