ORIGINAL CORRESPONDENCE.

Nav foRK, April "a, l645.
The speech OF Lord Aberdeen in the British Par
lament in reference to the Oregon question, was not
reported here ill yesterday morning. It hen and for
few hours aitsrw ards, produced sensation and
effect; and was the means Of very sadly frightening
the distinguished gentleman Of the Ns,o York Coisr
and Enquirer, and few other BObadiis Of the Wing
press, who beheld IN il an unerring prologue TO a
deep, deep, sy, very deep tragedy because Lord
Aberdeen had said, in the British Parliament that
John Bulls claim to Oregon would be persisted in
and maintained at the hazard Of sundry "guns and
drums"-God save the mark The ctivalrous editor
Of the Courier aud Enquirer found himself suddenly
thrown into a condition of alarm, which very much
resembled that Of Bob Acres, when Sir Lucius
O'Trigger was nstruotins him in the punctillio and
Quintillian etiquette Of tho duello.
As for the speech of Lord Aberdeen il probably
had about much effect on the British public, as
the speech Of an unhedged member Of Congress has
in this nation, when he rises in his place, in Commit
tee Of the Whole House on the state Of the Union,
and Justify procaims that he will hold himself respon-
sible here, and elsewhere" for what he advances
fancy that neither the rhodomontade of Lord
Aberdeen, or the alarms of the New York Courier
and Enquirer, will disturb the nerves of Mr. Polk or
particularly annoy his Cabinet. IL the President
should not, any OCCASION administer honied words,
to sait Lord Aberdeen the ustrious editor of the
New York Courier and Enquirer, shall not be sur-
prised 1t was not so in Temples time"
The Courier and Enquirer, whose sole object is to
create sympathy and alarm among the aristocracy of
the commercial classes, will sgnay find himself dis
appointed in this instance for that class of Ameri.
can citizens too enlightened to be frightened GU,
of their proprety by the wind and vapor of such an
oracle Of fusan.
As for Oregon, our title to it is plain and ndisputa
BILE, and will not be surrendered though Lord Aber-
deem thunder away till his lungs be split again in
reference to it, "The land is ours" and it will no,
be surrendered.
The momentary excitement which Lord Aber-
deems speech produced, will be lost IN day or two.
The conversation and speculation il has given rise to-
is but mere and idle repetition of the trash that
has been spouted on dozen different occasions,
when gossiPs and twaddles have talked about war
and rumors of wars because some "nsble Lord, >,

Parliament
