The Kalida venture. [volume] (Kalida, Ohio) 1841-1865, 1845-05-16


WARLIKE.-Therc is good deal of bollgerent
feeling manifest in the tone of the public press
on the subjtct of our relations with England
Excepting only few of the leading federal pa
pers, under the control of British interests there
appears fixed determination to resist the un-
founded and preposterous claims of the British
government, and to maintain our - clear and un-
questionable" rights, al all hazards-even at the
cannon's mouh.n We invite particular atten-
ton to the firm and dignfed article from the
Washington Globe, which will be found in ano-
ther column. We also append extracts from
some of the leading newspapers in various Sec
tons of the country, which no doubt faithfully re-
fleet the popular feeling throughout the Union:
John Bull may prate about war, but we agree
with the New York Sun that il is the height of
madness for England to talk of war in which all
Europe would be involved, and in which five mil
lions of her domestic slaves or factory operatives,
with other millions of oppressed men in another
part OF the United Kingdom, would be active par
ticipants Is she prepared for domestic insurrec-
tons at home! for the severance of her colonies
for Irish independence? for Scotch nationality :?
for the reputation of her national debt and uni
versal bankruptcy? If she is prepared for all
INeSe events tnCn sne may war Win lne Uulted
States. A war for Oregon would be popular with
the people OF the United States, and the British
ministry may find, when it is too late, that in pro-
posing this alternative, they have committed en-
error which must result calnmitousy for that arro-
giant dospoiler of nations over whose destinies
they now prcsde.--Daiy Keystone.
Arbitration mpromisc--isitlikely that these
will be cfcctuul to settle the dispute2 Let us
look at the position of our government. Mr.
Polk stands committed by the declaration in his
inaugural that our right to the Oregon is clear
and indsputabIe--a declaration which, whether
made properly or improperly, is nevertheless
made, and must stand. He cannot Withdraw OF
modify it.. The country would not permit him to
DO either, if he were SO disposcd.-Balttmore

But war will nsvcr be declared by Great Britain
Her bluster is but for effect, and straight for
ward and manly course, such as we have every
confidence will be pursued by the present admi-
nistration. will in a short time peacefully plant
the American flag at the mouth Of the Columbia
and establish American laws over the whole o
that beautiful territory. Ohio StGtesman.
That the British Government is resolved to keep
possession of Oregon and make it an English de-
pondoncy if they can possibly accomplish it shor
of an appeal to arms, we have no doubt and We
are equally well convinced (Ond the conviction Is
greatly strengthened by the !ate nteIgonce) tnai
with proper determination, frmness and activity
we shall penceobIy obtain possession of the whole
of that valuable territory, extend over it the jurs
diction of our sovereignty and laws, and unite il

We ask nothing but what is our own--ours b
