As bearing upon the mooted question Of peace
or war; We make an extract from The Union, with
It's seasonabe comments upon significant pas
sage Of the London Times. II will be seen that
il hosililies do arise, in which we do mol believe
from The formal tender of Twelve months notice
on our part, we have the authority Of the London
Times for the defence, that The responsibility will
not fall on our shoulders
"'The article oithe London Times, which has
most attracted our attention, is that upon Oregon
With respect TO the possible bad consequences
which The Times presumes may grow out al the
conflicting claims OF Great Britain and the United
States, that paper expresses its belief that an ar
bration OF the dispute is the rational and safe
way 10 prevent them! The article of the Lon
don paper IS more moderate, and in much better
taste than usual The following paragraph from
long article Of the Times OF The Both October,
contains pretty nearly The gisl of the question:
cain Congress, however, the torrent of party
will flow unchecked; and Two questions, arising
out OF The slate Of the Oregon territory and the in
lervenion OF France and England in The river
Plate, will, no doubt, provoke an enormous CON
sumption oil angry words and bold resolutions.
On The former subjec, we have nothing 10 add 10
our former argument; and we rest our whole
hopes OF compromise on The proposal OF arbi-
tratcn. But, il ''is be rejected, it signifies very
little whether the abrogalion OF the existing ar
rangemenl for the joint occupation OF the territory
proceeds from this country or from party in The
United States Under existing circumstances,
since emigration has been going on to a consider
able extent West of the Rocky Mountains, and
the new settlers there carry out all the angry feel
inss which threaten 10 embroil their respective
countries, The system Of joint occupancy is a
mere blind ior aggression; and, instead OF being
an admission OF concurrent right, il is practi-
cal denial OF one. The position Of the Hudson's
Bay Company is one OF occupation and defence;
and, unless line OF provisional temarcation can
be agreed upon, it is scarcely possible that col
lsion should long be averted.'
"Thc above paragraph OF The London Times
carry considerable force with il. II the true,
that The respective emigiants, on both sides, are
likely TO come into collision, then, indeed, il is
comparatively OF little consequence which nation
il is that gires the notice Of the abrogaton OF the
Convention for joint occupation. Such notice
of course, does not necessarily Interrupt their
amicable relations. Ii may, in one point OF view,
even facilitate the adjustment of The question. II
shows both nations that il is time 10 bring The
question 10 the issue OF adjustment, and may lead
both OF them TO think more seriously of the mea
sures that are necessary TO produce H."
