The civilized world will see in these
proceedings a spirit Of liberal concession
on the part Of the United States; and this
government will be relieved from all les
possibility which may follow The failure TO
settle the controversy.
All attempts a, compromise having fail.
ed, il becomes the duty Of Congress.Io con.
slider what measures il may be proper to
adopt for the security and protection Of
our citizens now inhabiling, or who may
hereafter inhabit Oregon, and for the main.
tensnce Of our just title 10 that territory.
In adopting measures ior this purpose,
care should be taken that nothing be done
TO violate the stipulalions Of the conyen.
ton Of 1927, which is still in force. The
faith Of treaties, in their laiiar and spirit,
mas ever Deen, and. 4 trust, will ever be.
scupulously observed by the United

tory. This notice il would, in my iudg-
inent. be proper TO give; and recommend
that provision be made BY law, for giving
1t accordingly, and terminating. in this
manner, the convention Of the sixth Of
August, 1897.
II will become proper for Congress to
determine what legislation they can. in the
mean time, adopt without violating this
convention. Beyond all question, the
protection Of our laws and our jurisdic-
ton, civil and criminal, ought to he imme-
diately extended over our citizens in Ore
gon. They have had just cause to complain
our long neglect in this particular, and
have IN consequence. been compelled, for
their own security and protection, to estab-
fish a provisional government Tor them
selves. Strong in their allegiance and ar
dent in their attachment to the United
States, they have been thus cast upon their
} own resources. They are anxious tina,
our laws should be extended over them
and ] Tscommend that this be done by
Congress with as little delay as possible, in
