New York, Dec. Is, 1645.
Circumstances have prevented me from giving
my usual modicum of news for the last ten days,
and even now must be brief
The message is still the great topic of conyersa-
ton among us, and every hour adds TO the number
of those who first approved Of its tone. More,
venture to say, have read, and rercad this great
state paper, than before perused similar one
On the Oregon question we could not stand on bet
ter, on higher or safer ground than the President
has placed US. But TO finish the matter complete.
ly---to knock the last prop from the RECONSTRUCTED
fabric, raised by Mr.. Pakenham, here come the
mastery documents of our own Secretary Of State
James Buchanan. He seems not have left a loop to
hang doubt upon. tits most mastery vindication
of our rights and clear and plain that child can
understand it. On what pretext the British govern.
ment can, after this triumphant vindcation of our
own, and the complete demolition of the English
claim, hang their hopes upon, is more than can
understand. Yet their voracious appetite is never
satisfied; but it is my candid opinion that the mes
sage and the papers of Messrs. Buchanan and Cal
houn will be quite as much as the taste of John
Bull will bear. IF he can swallow them without q
wry face, he will gulp down almost anything
even the act of Congress carrying out the recon-
mendation Of the President. You will have noticed
with no little SURPRISE the position that the "Jour.
nal of Commerce''-correct upon most questions
including Texas-has assumed upon this Of Oregon
British TO all intents and purposes-approving oil
the ridiculous proposition Of the English paper in
this city, known as the "New York Abion"--ap-
proving of the course of the English minister
abusing our own government, in fact, it is of more
benefit to the British in this controversy than al
their organs and official representatives put to-
gether The whole tone of that paper in reference
TO this subject so entirely unlike its position here
tofore on any American question-its fierce defiance
of English interference in the Texas movement ant
its base trucking to English arrogance aud anti
al. .Er h,
American course now-certaniy seem 10 JUSTIFY 10,
suspicious whisperings heard about our streets, Of
the means made Of To effect this great, this rad
cal change in its position
You will not fail to notice the warm and enthusi
astic resolutions of the "Young Mems Democratic
General Committee of Tammany Hall, passed OF
the Sd instant, in reference to the Presidents mes
sage the truly American tone of that document ant
the principles therein advanced This whole seric.
Of resolutions speak the sentiments Of the young
and progressive democracy, not only of this city
but of the State at large. The Globe, you will see
comes in for good share Of hearty commentator
The democracy of this city are to elect, on the 30
instant, new committees--old and young men--fo
the year 1896 That they will be of the RICH
stamp, and truly represent the democracy, yon ma,
he well assured.
We want in these times no cowardly, half-wa,
democrats; we want none who will not speak thel
sentiments boldly in favor of the administration
and its policy, for fear of offending few who d.
not sympathize SO warmly with it. II any there b.
who are tagging behind in these days of progress,
let them look well to it that they do not lose sigh
entirely of the great republican army, which is nov
moving on with such steady and triumphant pace t
the goal Of our destiny. Who shall stay its, pro
gress, or turn il a SINGLE hairs breadth from it

Young Morrell, who so suddenly Disappears
from his family and friends week since, was las
night latter reward Of 5000 had been offered 10
him y thrust into the door Of his own house b.
three as ruianly-looking fellows as were ever ooke
upon. He was bruised his clothes had bee
changed for filthy rags; and he himself was com
peteIv bereft of reason---not even recognizing hi
mother, wife, or friends; and bis constant cry is,
let him go--to release him. There has evidentl
been foul play. This may, in fact, be new bus

which are fast rivalng those Of London or Paris.
