THE DISPUTED OREGON TERRITORY.
The tertiary of Oregon, as we have
already stated, embraces the region on the
map Of Northwest America, between the
parable! OF az deg. and hat of 54 deg. 40
min, of North latitude. The mouth oil
the Columbia river is in latitude As deg.
Is IN. The general claim of the United
States is to the abolute possession Of 0N
those regions drained By the CoIumbia
rirer. This, as will be seen by exalnin-
ing map, in connexion with what we
have already stated, embraces the whole
territory between our recognized bounda-
ry with Mexico, and the line OF 81 deg.
40 MIN, on which the Canoe river, the
head waters of the Columbia, takes its
rise. Great Britain resists this claim, bu,
claims herself no exclusive sovereignty
over any portion OF the territory between
the 421 and the 40 h degs., conlendiag on.
~ that she has right 10 navi gate the wa
tiers OF those countries, to settle in and over
any part Of them, and 10 trade with their
Inhabitants, 1t is admitted by them that
the Unled States possess The same rights,
but no more. This is the extent OF the
British claim as laid down by Messrs
Huskisson and Addingon, in the discus
sions which resulted in the Convention OF
1927.
Having stated first The geographical
limits and character Of The territory, and
The general nature o.! the claims of both
parties, We next enquire.
IL. What do the United States claim
and on nhat grounds? Their general
claial, as already stated, is to the absolute
and exclusive possession of the regions
drained BY the Columbia river: and they
defend this claim or the following assert.
ed facts:
/. Because the mouth OF toe Colum>
b'a was fist discovered by an American
citizen.
2. Because the territory drained by
the Coumba was FIRST explored by The
American government.
B. Because the first ports and settle-
ments in the territory were made by chi-
zens Of the U. States.
a. Because the British government
has virInolly recognized their title by re-
Storing lhe port at the mouth OF the CO.
lumbia, captured by them during the last
war.
5. Because they have acquired by
treaty all the titles Of Spain, which were
derived from the discovery and exploration
Of the coasts by Spanish subjects. before
hey had been seen by the people Of any
o. her civilized nation
6. Because the fact that this territory
is contiguous 10 that of the United States
gives them Il stronger right to it than coulC

apprentices were, under some pretence,
purchased at triaing price, and shipped
to Texas. There they were sold as
slaves - nomnally for given time, but
in fact for life-and they and their de-
scendants are now slaves forever. To
what extent the trade has been carried
mean only be judged by circumstances.
The immense profit that it offered, and
the facilities oflanding them on the coast,
would lead to the beliefthat it has been
practised to a great extent.
If one can judge by the number Of
fresh negroes TO be found upon the plan
tations in Texas, the inportations must
have been large indeed. From this source
alone, could have been realised the
great increase of slave population in that
country. AS it can be made matter Of
perfect demonstration what number have
been exported from the South, and as
there were originally no slaves there, 1t
can be ascerained,a at short notice, should
Congress require it, what number of ne
groes moi natives of these Uuited States,
will be brought into the Union by annex
alton. Iwould not be understood as i'm
plicatlng the government of Texas in
this piratical Introduction Of negroes, as [
know strong measuses have been con,
s.autly usedto prevent them Nor do |
believe her citizens have. to any great
extent, countenanced the trade,t having
been principally perpertrated by Aliens
The fact however that the negroes are
now in the country is sufficient-and the
proof that no legal restraint would pre-
vent their introduction, is strong ar
gument against the admission to our
Union of a territory SO open to the graft
6cation of piratical cupidity.

ADDRESS.
To the Citizens Of Rutland County,

FELLOW CITIZENS:
We have arrived al an important juno
ture in the history Of the Temperance
Reformation in this state. Within few
months the question whether intoxicating
drinks shall continue 10 be sold as bev-
eraoe among US, has been submitted 10
the annual determination OF The people,
The following statement, drawn from
official sources shows that our first decis-
ion has been in favor OF the traffic, al least
for the current year.

There were then but 3748 votes, incu-
ding one scattering, cast at the late cleo
;ion; while last September there were
1892 for The regular candidates for GoyN
ernor. Where so few voters have acted,
it is manifest that the question is anything
but settled. Secure a general attendance
aud the tables will be turned. For we
are sure that the great majority OF those
who s,aid at home are friends Of the
cause. We were comparatively supine,
and hundreds of US neglected the polls,
while the other party made active exer-
tons and mustered their strength. 10
prove this, would be waste ofargument.
Those for whom this address is chiefly
intended, need no proof, Tor they have seen
it.
It becomes an important inquiry wheth-
er we TOO can summon our whole strength
upon another trial. In fact it is equlvan
lent to asking whether we shall be de>
feated again, or elect our own board OF
commissioners. There are some strong
reasons for our confdng in success at
future day.
In the first place our fellow citizens
were deceived, as they never can be
again, at the late election. The body
which nominated the present board, was
called together under the specious name
Of Temperance Convention. 1t held
out the plausible pretence of securing a
iudicious discrimination in granting IL
censes. The reputation Of those VINO
were nominated contributed 10 the decep-
,iou. Not few voted for them, trusting
that they would indeed exercise something

SLAVE TRADE IN TEXAS.

A writer in the Boston Atlas, whose
sources OF information are evidently the
best, and whose GOODNESS must acquit
him of any anti slavery bias that would
impair his credlbiity, gives the following
very important testimony in regard to
the origin ofthe Texan slavos:-
In Texas there are, at the present
time, from twenty five 10 thirty thousand
slaves. Nearly that number has been
returned as taxable property. How came
them there? The constitution prohibits
their introduction, except from these
United States. Has that number been
transported from the South. 1t is in the
power of Congress to obtain accurate
information on Ills point, at least. Let
them apply to the collectors of New Or
leans, Mobile and Charleston, and as
certain the number that have been clear
ed from those ports. 1t will be found
that not one third of the number now
there. ever saw these States.
Prior to the revolution, there were, lie.
galy no slaves in Texas. Immediate
" subsequent to that event, the public
returns rated the number at above five
thousand. Can it, for moment, be be-
lieved that, in seven years, the natural
and imported increase could exceed
twenty thousand? To answer the ques-
ton how they came there, | will refer to
facts we'll known in Texas. A direct
trade in sLares has been carried on betwGsn
Cuba and Teas; in the early part of her
history, almost openly latterIy,in secret.
Two full cargoes were obtained in Ha-
vana in 1896, and landed in Texas ,under
the following circumstances. II is the
practice ofthe British government to
apprentice. for limited time, the slaves
cnninred and carried into Cuba. These
