OREGON AND MR.. McLANE.

The Baltimore correspondent of the Boston Atlas who
appears to he well informed the subject, persists in
maintaining that Mr. McIane, though not special min.
ster will be intrusted with the Oregon matter notwith
standing the quasi denial Of the Union and that his accept
ance of the appointment made with that view. He
he has good for believing will be found hat
the discussion Of this affair at Washington has reached
point which has made II desirable, in the view Of the Presi
dent to have particular proposition submitted TO the
British ministry and that Mr. McLane urged TO take
the mission on that ground The appointment not
cited by hint rather took him by surprise; and he
would not have accepted IT, IL IL had not been understood
that the special business he to go would not proba
bly, take him two months-certalny more than six
monthsr-Phh Inquirer.
We repeat, at once, without any quasi form at
all, that the correspondent of the "Atas" is mista-
ken---that the negotiation is to be kept on this side
of the water--that Mr.. McLane knows it, and
thoroughly approves Of the course The other in
ferences Of the writer therefore, fall to the ground
Mr.. McLane will, ne doubt, have il in his power
to remove some difficulties in the way Of the nego-
tiaton---io make several explanations on collateral
points--to facilitate the result, by the admirable re-
sources of his experienced mind; and we may
further add, that he will scarcely return to the Uni
ted States until he either sees the question settled,
sees that il cannot be settled at all.-UNIos.

JACKSON HALL.

05eOn Tuesday night last, the Democratic
Association appointed committee to make arrnngc-
ments for laying the cornerstone of jackson Hall
Ia building intended by its generous projectors,
Messrs. Blair & Rives, an enduring monument
to the memory Of the great man whose name i
will bear. The committee of arrangements believe
that the democracy of this District could not in a
more appropriate manner celebrate the 69th ami
versary of American independence than in the ccrc-
mony Of dcdicatng this institution-from whose
halls they fondly anticipate that the principles and
preceps Of that great patriot hero and statesman,
who now lives to Immortality, will be inculcated
upon generations yet to come. In accordance with
this belief, the committee are making arrangements
to effect the laudable purpose Of doing further honor,
on the anniversary Of our independence, to the
memory Of Jackson, who, by his patriotism, wis
dom, and heroic deeds, contributed so much through
life to perpetuate the blessings secured to US on
that day.
Judge Shields, Of Illinois, has accepted the invita-
ton to deliver an 'ornton on the occasion.
The ancient and honorable order of Masons are
respectfully invited to be present, with their work.
ing implements. The order of Odd Fellows, the
military, the fremen, and all the democratic Assoc
Citations and other societies Of this District and Ma
ryand, and citizens generally, are respectfully in
vited to Join in the proceedings of that day.
A programme of arrangements will be published
previous to the occasion.

The new post Office law went into operation to-
day. We shall bide the result of the experiment
with patience and importantly, but with strong
disposition to see it succeed.
Some questions have already arisen in the con-
structon of the law. One, from the postmaster al
Boston, has called forth an opinion from the At
torney General, which we hope to be able to lay be
fore our readers.
The question was also asked, yesterday, Upon
what class of letters did the law take eAect-upon
those which are delivered from the post Offices, OF
those which are mailed in tire course of the day
We understand that the new postage will apply To
all new letters only.

And now, we respectfully ask, whether, amid thes'

stamped upon the age itself, and promises to be-
come the great law of the highest improvements OF

act of'42' Can we regard il as immutable as the
laws Of the Modes and Persians9 Or, shall we not
say, the act of 42 "can scarcely stand as the per-
manent system ofths great country. 1t is too une-

IOWA.

The governor, (Chambcrs,) in whom the Bal
dmore American seems to glory as being "sier-
ling whig, the bosom friend Of General Harrison,
and one Of his first appointments" vetoed the bill
for submitting the old constitution to the vote OF the
people again in August next The legislature,
however, oyerruIed his veto, and passed the bill
by more than the two-thirds. The "American''
chuckles at the course Of the wings, in resisting
the bill, and significantly asks, "Who needed to be
told how the wings voted, and how the democrats
voted on such question:"
And why, we ask should the course of the demo-
Gratis be objected tos The constitution, as it was
originally framed, was never submitted to the peo-
pie at all. Why should it not be now? What in
jury can arise from the measured Why should not
''thc constitution as came from the hands Of the
late convention, with the large boundaries, be sub
mitted to the votes of the people in August next for
their approval rejecton'' Suppose her people
were now to pass upon the original constitution,
which they have not yet done-suppose them TO
adopt it;-what mischief can arise from III The
Baltimore American" objects, that 'the further
probability is that Congress will allow her to come
in upon terms of her own dctation, ard in contemp,
of the authority of the general government"
What dctaiion is there in the case' If Congress
chooses to recede from the boundaries which they
have proposed, and grant those which Iowa desires,
where is the deiaton, the contempt Of auihoriiy'
Congress may recede-Congress may think Iowa
right in asking such boundaries. Where would be
the dictation' Iowa cannot be admitted into the
Union, in contempt of authority, until Congress be
pleased to grant them permission. II is, of course
voluntary, not a compulsory act. 1t is an act Of
free grace, not of constrained contempt.

REVENUE CUTTERS.

1t seems that the Treasury Department to which
the revenue cutters are dttGched 10 sending or
more of those vessels to the Mexican gull, 70 eEpe-
date the communication between Galveston and New
Orleans, as well as for rendering other services.
Among these, is the new iron cutter, the "George
M. Bibb; she left Ptsburg on Tuesday, the 26th, for
the gulf of Mexico 'This vessel is propelled by
submerged horizontal wheels, on the plan Of Lieut..
Hunter She is the first government vessel in
tended for offensive and defensive purposes, which
ever left Pittsburg in finished state; the first iron
sea vessel which ever sailed down the Ohio and he
fourth iron sea vessel built at Ptsburg within two
or three years" Unfortunately Gas learn from
the Ptsburg Daily American the 2Sth) this cut
ter "met with an accident on her passage down, by
springing leak at or near Marietta, which will for
few days arrest her progress. She is represented
as having several feet Of water in her hold, but that
the pumps would clear her sufficiently to enable
them to stop the leak. We learn by gentleman
who Wits on board of her where she lay, that the
leak was in the whsel.house, supposed to have
been caused by the friction of the wheel and not
to be ascribed to any deficiency in the work"
The "American" says that she was under the
control Of officers little accustomed to seam-crat Of
any kind, except the pilot; and seems illiberay to
suspect the captain (Howard) Of some hand in the
accident, because he is fbeeved TO be little friendly
to the principle of propulsion" We are no )udgef
of such machinery; and we hope that the "Georgt

she is intended but The principle propulsion seems
no great vorte here, at present. and is said 10 have
failed in some other cases.
The New York Journal Of Commerce says tina
"the U. S. steamer Spencer, which left this port 1
few days since for New Orleans and Texas, hai
returned, having sprung leak in the gulf stream
How long she will be detained here, we are unubl.
TO say. Probably not long"

tribute Of respect to the memory Of the departed
patriot. The military, the Masons, Odd Fellows,
Sunday-schoos, and other associated bodies of cit-
zens, attended in strong array. large number of

CHESTER, IN. HID June 20, l545
Andrew Jackson, late President of the United
States, died the Hermitage, his residence in the
State Of Tennessee, on the 9th day Of the present
month. Certain information of this melancholy
event has just reached me here
One of the greatest and best men to whom this
republic ever gave birth, has gone down to the
grave, .full of years, and full Of honors." While
we deplore his death, we feel proud that he was
our countryman. We feel grateful to the Almighty
Father that he spared 80 long to people whose
interests were SO dear to his heart, and in whose
cause he so often percd his life, and for whose
prosperity his latest prayer on earth assembled To
heaven.
II seems TO me proper that every person officially
connected with the government of the United States
should testify his respect for the memory of this
great and good man, hero and patriot, by some out
ward demonstration. therefore recommend that
each gentleman attached TO the Office Of the Clerk of
the House of Representatives should wear an APP
propriaie badge Of mourning for thirty days.
