II is laughabe 10 see in the Union extracts from
small Locofoco papers, lauding the "bold and pa
iriotic tone of the organ on the Oregon question"
Truly bold has been that tone. "The whole or
none,' said the Union, in its bold and patriotic
tone" the whole or none of Oregon;'' and the
small fry responded /" the whole or none" But the
sober, responsible editors of the party, who had a
living TO get aud character to maintain beyond the
Administration, said that such language would not
do; and when the Administration heard that, the
Union said, with "bod and patriotic tone" 9" it
only meant the whole or of the claim, not the
territory" The best portion of the Locofoco press
is using language with reference to the Oregon
question that will have effect upon the Admins
traton in the settlement Of Oregon.--U. s. GdS.

and the South American States, we forfeited all right
again to appeal to Mr.. MoNRoE's maxim. We can
not set up for protectors, after we have become
plunderers How does Annexation, for example,
square with the magnanimous Monroe policy! 1t
has stbTerted it, and all pretence Of it. Ii we have
again the boldness to talk Of it, that must be the
masters Of this continent, not its protectors
But, thirdly, suppose that the rest of this cont-
nent would yet trust us--would they or any body
else justify in applying the Monroe policy in this
Oregon case 7! Not unless they are willing 10 see
d nation, by the absurdest anachronism, enter into
solemn treaties and then dissolve them all under pre-
tence Of principle which she has long afterwards
found out, but which STILL for twenty years after its
discovery, has not hndered her renewing and con-
tinuing the very treaty that it is now urged against.
The existing convention of joint occupancy OF
Orcgpn--itself really but return to the principle
Of the Noodka Sound convention of 100, between
Spain and Britain--gas settled by the Monroe Ad-
ministraIion in 1918, or about six years before
President Monroe's famous declaration. That de-
claraiion was made under friendly understanding
with Britain, for an object in which the two nations
concurred. In 1928 the same convention was re-
newed terminablc, after ten years, upon twelve
months notice by either party and 1t has been con-
tinucd ever since. Now, what is the meaning OF
fh what is the use of treaties, what is the force OF
recogntions, if can, by talking of the policy of
Mr.. MONROE, whom our own acts have set at
naught, thus cancel our repeated and solemn ac-
acknowledgements (as they clearly arc) that Great
Britain can slto,o a better historical title 10 any
portion Of Oregon than zoe can, Il shall be hers I?
