Folks proposition, its rejection by tho former,
and its withdrawal by the latter, we are not in
formed. The conjecture that this subject NAV
have been under consideration receives counte-
nance from the following, which we find in the
Morning Chronicle of November 6:
"We are led TO believe, from information on
which we are entitled 10 rely, that, nolwiihstaDd-
ing The importance of the food question: which
has occupied the deliberations and divided the
opinions of the Cabinet in their recent meetings,
the state OF our negotiations at Washington, in
regard to the Oregon territory, has been ques-

the various Government dockyards would indi-

west coast of South America have sailed TO Tie

meeting of Congress, when, as a matter of course,
the President in his Message will be under the
necessity Of declaring the views of his Govern
ment in regard to this now exciting question,
renders it matter Of necessity that our Ministers
should be decided as TO their policy. How far
Mr.. Polk may, in his Message to Congress,
change the tone Of his Inauguration speech, we
will not venture to say, but it is certain that the
events which have since then occurred in Amer-
