that "the declaration Of Sir Robert Peel about the
Oregon Territory, followed, as il was Immediately
by the disparagement OF that territory in the min
isteria journals, was intended mainly to obtain from
America better commercial terms--perhaps an ofte'
to settle the Oregon question by the new tariff"
If this project is seriously urged, the Oregon ques
ton will be involved in greater difficulties than ever
This mornings Baltimore .9neriea''.
The Baltimore American" repeats an allusior
which was originally made in the "New York Com
mercal" to our correspondents letter. We know
how eager the wing press is to after new idea
and expand it into importance, if it can promote
their purposes and we, therefore, think II our duty
to ''stop this colt" almost as il has emerged
from "the mares nest" We assure the "Amer
cai,," with the utmost rankness-lst. That our cor
respondent speaks without the slightest hint from
this side Of the water. I'd. Whatever may be Sin
R. Peel's views, we are satisfied that they have nc
foundation in the course of our administration
Certainly, We are not advised that Sir Robert Pee
has made any offer, given the slightest hint thai
he means to offer such proposition. Amid al
the projects which have been spoken of for the ad-
jusment of the Oregon question: have never heard
the slightest hint thrown at Washington of this
species of compromise. Sd. That there is no sort
Of connexien between the two subjects. Their ele-
ments are essentially distinct There is no affinity
no connexon between them. As the logicians say
there is nothing cognate between them. One is o
question Of territory-the other of commerce. Ore
gOn rests upon its own merits-upon discovery, up
on occupation, upon treaty. But the tariff rests up
on the interests of our own country If England
were to relax her corn laws, and reduce her high
duties upon tobacco; if she were to propose a COM
mercial arrangement by a commercial treaty, there
would be some assignabe relation between the two
subjects-between our commercial laws and her
own; but none between Oregon and the tariff. But
We have no idea that even the adjustment Of our
tariff, much less Of the claims to Oregon, will de-
pend upon the commercial action of the British min
listers. We shall adjust our tariff upon more fair,
equal, and legitimate basis-not because we ex-
pect, by this measure, to secure our claims up
on Oregon; not because we shall obtain re-
taxation of the corn-laws or of the tobacco du-
ties-but because the present tariff bears unequally
upon our own people, and is too protective upon
one part Of our own community, and therefore too
oppressive upon all the other parts This is the
gst of the whole matter; and respectfully address
this explanation to the New York Commercially
and the Baltimore American" and to such other
papers as are apt to fall into their footprints.
