OREGON,

| have recently been looking into our State
Papers for the purpose Of ascerlaining what had
been done by the British and American Govern
mcnls on this vital and important subject The
result shows, that il was twice under discussion,
between the years 1917 and %, and during the
mission Of Mr. Richard Rush 10 the British
Court. First, in conjunction with Mr. Gallalin
in 1918, which ended in the agreement, that the
country on the Northwest corner OF America
claimed by either nation, should be open TO the
inhab ians of both, tor len wears, Tor purposes OF
trade; with The equal right Of navigating all its
rivers. This agreement still exists under renew

Rushs time. lie discussed il a second time in
London in The year 1924 hy himself against
Mr. Hnskisson and Mr.. Canning who were APP
pointed to discuss il on the side OF Great Britain,
and on that occasion his discussion was not only
full bnt marked with very great ability. The
Florida treaty then exsled-we had acquired
under ii the title of Spain in addition 10 our
own, by the discovery OF tie Columbia River,
from the ocean. and By Lewis and Clarke tracing

points, historically as well as on elementary prn-
ciples of International law. was the first full
discussion The subject ever had on our side, with

South Of 81, and North Of 55. This was refused
by England unequvocally. He afterwards be-

which was also rejected. On turning lately 10

I'uR TIE I:SQrIREI

To TIC Voters Of TIC First Congressional District
saw, not long since, a Democratic newspa-
per, in which it was announced, Jy anttority that
Archibald Atkinson and John Tyler, Jr., are can
didates to represent This district in the next Con
srcss of the United States. As this annuncia
ton has been thus made in one OF the public jour
mails, there can be no doubt, suppose, about the
fact In this state OF things, what does il become
the Democratic party TO do? 1t is contrary 10
our usage 10 divide our forces: in this case, we
cannot aford TO do H.
The present incumbent was elected by very
mcagre majority over his Wing opponent when
they were the only candidates in the field; and j,
is understood that The same gentleman who was
The Wing candidate then, will be out again. I'm
der these circumstances, are we 10 divide our
strength, and afford onr opponents an opportunity
for an easy triumph Let il not be supposed
that | am influenced by any unmanly fears.
hnor what write We have an active and vi
gilant party opposed 10 us, with feelings exaspe-
rated by recent defeat, and banded together 10y a
sense of common disappointment. Rely upon il,
they will seize every opportunity OF getting into
power Let them not profit by our divisions.
II is in conformity with Democratic usage, 10
adopt some means Of concentrating the strength
of lie party upon one candidate. Shall we de-
part from this wholesome and nc-honored Gus
ION in the present instance? ! hope not. The
success of The partp is every lhine-lhat of iAd,-
r,GuaLs nothing |, therefore, respectfully suggcs,
10 you the proprely Of holding a Convention for
The purpose of selecting candidate; and, no mat
Ter who gets the nomination, let Us unite upon
him, and elect him hereby call upon both the
gentlemen who have been announced, 10 say,
whether or no, they will submit 10 the decision OF
a Convention have a right TO make This in
quirv, and hope they will both feel il their duly 10
answer il at their earliest convenience.
If the proposition 10 hold Convention should
meet the appreciation OF the district, respectful
" suggest The town OF Sutiork as suitable place
for holding ii, and the second Saturday in Feb
