/ OREeos.-The Oregon question has beer
: the one idea in the House Of Representative
since the passage of the Annexation bill
This bill has finally passed the House by :
large majority, and happily contains aprovis-
ion to extend to Great Britain the one years
notice required by our existing treaties before
extending our laws over Oregon. The Wash
ington correspondents of the papers declare
all the movements Of the new dominant party
as indicative of war. This beliigerent spirit
is not confined, SAYS he Of the Enquirer, 10
the young, the hotspurs of the West. bu,
pervades the South, and has possession of
grey headed Democrats. While they rave
at the British Lion for craving more territory,
they are fiercs as bulldogs for grasping it
themselves. They are pressing forward leg
islation in manner which in the end will
hazard rupture with Great Britain. The
bill passed the House was with gieatdificul-
ty so amended as TO prevent summary pos
session without any regard TO the pledged
faith ofthe nation and pending negotiations.
