OREGON AND WAR
We have noticed with care the different
views entertained nv different memb RS of the
press upon the question: of war with England
on the Oregon question. While one mdulCcs
IN the game OF bray, and looks upon proba-
bic war with England as mere pastimc. or
declares that the mcrican Army and Navy
has noug.it To do but To drive tn British Army
and Navy before them and out OF their pos
sessions on the American continent: while
the one looks back upon the revolutionary
war, and says, that if the United colonies
conquered England with three millions of
people, there will certainly BE- no difficulty
with eighteen millions; another exclaims with
horrible contortions AM wretched means that
England has her Ships OF wal on every sea.
her armies numbering thousands in every eli
mate, almost every couutry--that we shall all
al once be burnt, murdered, ravishcd, aud the
whole country left alone with widows and
orphans.
We must confess that we belong to cithcr
of these parties. We have come 10 the con.
clusion, that Oregon, the disputed country,
belong, Of right, TO the United States, and
should be part thereof In that case we have
no doubt bu, that the duty of the United States
TO herself, requires that she should assert that
right, rrgardl' SIS OF consequenCcs-to move
Forward as though there was no opposition TO
our claim. We do not believe that war will
70 low; but il itdoes we do not apprchend tina;
we shall be eaten, body and bones. We shall
suffer. sew, rely. We shall lose much indi-
yidual wealth, and be at much national ex-
pense-bu. il is no less true that right and
national honor require the sacrifice. and econ
omy would no less dictate To lis that course
which may excite the English to war, rather
than by any hesitation or vacillation, any
doubt or apprehension, TO show INDIGESTION i'm
regard to sustaining our rights and territory
mimpaircd. A moderate, decided and firm
course, are the most likely to preserve alike
our peace aud honor and it with that, war
comes, we must meet il as man.
uf-Thc "last link is joined" the Texas
resolution has passed the Senate, and Texas is
ours, is state, is no iongera nation, and no
longer independent of our iuies. We'll, we
hope she will be improved by il.
