THE GOVERNMENT PAPER, AGAIN.

PROM THE DAILY INTELLIsEScRR OF DECEMBER TO-
The Union has transferred to its columns our
last notice of The true state, at the present moment
Of the Oregon question. We are happy that the
readers Of that paper will thus have the advantage
Of all the light that we have been able to bring "a
bear upon the subject.
We do not understand, however, what we have
done in endeavoring to ascertain the right con.
struction Of the Presidents Message on this subject
to rufie the temper Of the Official Editor, so as TO
induce him, having nothing to say upon the merits
Of the matter-which is, whether the Presidents
Message means Peace or War--to indulge in pitiful
innuendoes againstus for having raised the question
Reciting the admission TO which we had brought
this Organ Of the Administration, that UNoUEs-
TIoNABLv peace is desirable TO The United States
bat IL must be an honorable peace" &c. we did
say TO be sure, that il was sound Wing doctrine -
In so characterizing il, we meant TO give il the
highest praise in our power, as must have been
obvious to our readers. If the Government Editor
does not appreciate the compliment the fault is not
in our language, but in his valuation of it,
Again we congratulate our readers that we have
arrived at a conclusion, which the Government
Organ has not gainsad, and dare not gainsay, that
so far as the purposes Of the Executive of the Uni
ted States are concerned, War is not expected to
result from the course indicated in the Presidents
Message, and that there is reason to hope" in
the language of the President himself, that in This
enlightened age, these differences with Great
Britain MAY Re AMIcABLy ADJUSTED

THE GOVERNMENT PAPER AND THE STATE
OF THE OREGON QUESTION.

(rRoM DAILY ISrELLIsrxcER DECEMBER
With the aid Of light derived from source which
we know TO be in the confidence Of the Executive
we endeayored, in osr last number, TO explain what
we believe to be the true posture Of the Oregon
question: as between the Executive authority of this
country and the Ministry Of the Government Of
Great Britain; arriving at the conclusion that,
though interrupted here, Negotiation on the subject
between the two Governments was not terminated.
In this conclusion we fortified ourselves by quot.
ing passage Of the Presidents Message TO Con-
gress, in which the hope is expressed that this diff
ference between the two countries may yet be
: amicably adjusted" Whoever maintains, in the
face of this expression, that the President meant
to inform Congress that there was an end 10 all ne
gofiafion on the subject would make the President
do, what in this case we are satisfied he has not
dome
"Keep the word Of promise to our ear
"And break il to our hope
The government paper, however, referring to our
conjecures on the subject denies just enough to sa-
tisfy us that substantially we have put the right
construction upon the very guarded expressions in
the Message. The negotiation is still open, not
withstandng The affected denial Of by the Union
of Saturday night, in the following terms:
" No such instructions LAS conjectured by us
have been transmitted to London---no such propo
siton made-no intention entertained Of transfer.
ring the negotiation to London--no expectation
: idea, is formed here of renewing AT London The
! proposition Of our Government which has been
declined at Washington and, therefore. all ths
ingenious speculations Of the National Intelligence,
Z fall 10 the ground"
Our object, as the reader will readily perceive
has been to extract from the Executive organs such
