In the Union OF the LIST instant there is reprinted
poem respecting Oregon, which was sung with
great fervor and enthusiasm in the Western States
during the last canvass, and which serves some
index to the state of feeling in the West this i'm
portan subject As the Union has thus published it
here and given to it the sanction Of the Official
imfrimatn, | think it may not be undressing to
that it is the production Of one of the newspaper
fraternity,-no other than G.. b. Wallis, reporter
and newspaper writer, in this city, and young
man of talent and go-ahead-itiveness who will, per-
haps, some day other, settle in Oregon, and be
elected its Governor. Much stranger things have
happened.
The war feeling which has been excited by the
menacing tone of the speakers in the British Para-
on the elections which are yet to be held for MEM
bers OF the next Congress from Indiana, Ken
lucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, Maryland,
Mississippi, and Alabama The termination, also, of
all doubt on the subject the annexation of Texas,
by President Arson JONES' having been obliged to
issue his proclamation for the convocation of an ex-
ira session OF the Texan Congress- by the force of
public opinion, and his announcement that the Co
vernment OF the United States has chosen to offer
the terms contained in the resolution passed by the
House of Representatives, are expected to have very
considerable effect on the same elections Thus Mr.
Foster, the present candidate for Governor of Ten
nessee, will have TO fight against the effect of his vote
IN the Senate IN opposition TO the passage Of these
resolutions, which were of his own drawing up, and
under which Texas will come into the Union in
spite of his opposition. Then, again. it will probably
also have some effect in Alabama, in probably de-
feang the nomination of George S. Houston for the
next Congress. MIR. Houston IS an inveerate old
bunker and was the principal confident and active
adviser, and, indeed, acted as the attorney coun-
sci Mr.. Senator Arthur p. Bagby, of that State
who made such melancholy exhibition of himself
in voting for the passage OF resolutions which he had
pected that Alabama, SO thoroughly democratic as
she is, will consent to be represented in the evident
ly approaching crisis, by men upon whom she can
not depend, but who will play fast and loose as Mr.
Bagby did, or act counsel to such Senator as Ar
thur p. Bagby, as Mr.. George S. Houston did. The
expectation in Alabama understand to be that the
whole of the next delegation will be democratic
the last being six democrats to wing, and that
there will not be a doubtful man among them;
but that such men as Mr. Houston will be
left at home to learn faithfuness to their
tor, who only weighs 500 pounds avoirdupois,
left this city for his hoome on yesterday, proba-
badly intending to use the best endeavors his weight
will allow HIM, to secure thoroughly true delega-
ton. Mr. Bagby still remains here, Notwithstanding
his drain of $3.50 for suggestions travelling besides
his $3.50 for travelling at the opening Of the Session.
when he was in this city all the recess of Congress
believe that he finds his business of prosecuting
claims against the goeernment very productive, now
that he has managed to get appointed chairman of the
Committee OF the Senate on Claims, and which COM
mee will have to pass upon these very claims which
he is prosecuting fine employment, truly, for q
Senator of the United States.
In reading Mr.. Riches introductory in the Union,
perceive that he makes quite feature of the kind
and generosity of Messrs Blair & Rives, in not
charging anything for the goodwill ~ of the Globe
can hardly help laughing when think of the way in
which Mr. Richie pasters praise on them for this act
of disinterestedness when remember that this very
concem-the Globe newspaper mean-has been
dead loss to the establishment of about So 900 per
mum since II was first started. / should like to have
rW of an establishment worth, which sinks 81, 700
per year Which of your mathematical correspon-
dents will solve the difficulty because then we may
be able to estimate the of gratitude due from
Mr. Richie TO Messrs. Blair Il Rives.. should like
to know.
One would have thought that in the opening num-
Der OF the new government organ, nothing whatever
but mothery milk and kindness would have been
found and particularly from the Nestor of the press
while the genuine old feeling OF fair play would have
taught to expect exhibition of forbearance to-
wards defeated and fallen foe, and particularly
when 50 much praise is lavished on Blair. I alIude
to the Hon. w c. Rives, late Senator from Vir-
ginia, whom Mr.. Richie aludes to, under the head
of elections, as w, 9. Rives, Esq and quotes the
expression, "Lucifer, star of the morning, how art
thou fallen" When it is recollected too, that Mr..
Richie himself, was the seducer of Mr. Rives from
the democratic high road, the subject of the Sub
Treasury; that they both strayed from that path,
npr are vybv f,rI,ao up<so and
generosity should have been shown by Mr.. Richie
Some persons in this city have also remarked with
suspicion, that in neither Mr. Richie prospectus
Introductory nor IN any portion OF his paper does he
aude to the Sub Treasury! Sundry obscure hints
venured by these individuals in respect hereto,
as the sngularity &c, of this silence a subject
to which a large majority of the democratic party is
irretrlevably committed.

Bancroft, the Secretary OF the Treasury;
