now labor the financial condition of the State is
fully presented-and the militia, school and prison
systems &C., have all received proper attention;
the approaching State Convention for revising the
Constitution is advertised to, and re-apportionment
Of representation recommended, in order that the
population of the State, ascerained by the recenl
census, may be fully and fairly represented in the
Convention and the Legislature. The Governor
concludes with approval OF the measures of the
National Administration, and especially of the
position assumed by President Polk in regard to the
Oregon question, declaring that the offer of the 49n
parallel as the boundary line, the extreme limit
Of reasonable concession that the American Gov
eminent could make.
The Vexed Question-What's the Price OF
stockss
Our highly respectable contemporaries in Wall
street, who represent, and are the organs Of all the
stock and money making principles Of the age,
seem to be in great distress, and emit the most
lanchoy sounds at the present position OF the Oregon
question in both Houses OF Congress. How are
stocks to-day7 These melancholy wailings seem
to paralyze all their energies-to soften their ieroc-
ty-to liberallze their avarice-to give tinge Of
love to their religion, and to reduce them to sad
and may probably affect the price of cotton and
Erie railroad to great amount. They are fright
ened at the position of the democrats; they are
frightened at the position Of the wings; they are
frightened at every movement, and 60 into Mysteries
at every speech What's the price Of stocks! In
the same breath, they deplore The courage and elo
quence Of John Quincy Adams upon the whole Of
Oregon, while they call upon John c. Calhoun, of
- IL. szCA Al
What's the price Of stocksl Yes; they call for
help from the very individual whom for the last if
teen years, they have been denouncing as the most
dangerous man that ever astonished a parayzed
world-a nullifer-a STAKEHOLDER, a terrible,
shocking slave holder and nulier, of the nation of
South Carolina What's the price Of stocks
Now, all this mixture Of melancholy, OF fright. Of
money-making, and of horror Of war, is excessive
ly amusing, in the actual position of the Oregon
question in Congress. What's the price of stocks
Since the beginning of the session, the leaders Of
the ehques and parties there, have been making ex-
perlments upon the temper Of the country, and have
been feeling the pulse Of the nation. What's the
price Of stocks! General Cass, MIR. Hannegan,
Judge Douglass. Mr. Calhoun, Mr. adams, and seve-
raj others, have merely been trying the temper Of
the times-testing the spirit of the age-tryng how
far they can put their hands into the fire and draw
back without burning. What's the price Of stocks
According to all this brilliant analysis and expert
ment, the government and people Of this country
appear to be now ready to bring the question, and
close 1t at once, by giving the years notice, and pro-
ceeding to action in the organization Of the terrific
ry, without violating the faith Of treaties or the law
of nations. What's the price of stocks?
In Short according to every rational probability,
the measures Of Mr. Polk will be supported by both
houses of Congress. What's the price of stocks
There may be struggle or there may not be.
What'sthe price Of stocks? In the present position
of parties in Congress, one can say exactly what
will be the final result but that the Oregon Cues.
ton is the powerful element in public affairs of
the present day, we think there can be now no
doubt. What's the price Of stocks We do not
join with many in denouncing John G. Calhoun,
one OF the purest and greatest of the age, bes
cause he is in favor of postponement for another
year or two OF this powerful question; tor in his
principles, in his feelings, and in national heart,
he Is with his country in these things az much as
any other man in Congress. On this Oregon ques-
ton, many fear that Mr.. Calhoun has got somewhat
of the track; but we have no doubt he will get on
better and stronger, before there Is war.
1t is evident, therefore, that the United States
have advanced, and have arrived at position upon
this question from which they cannot recede with
honor IT. in the present session of Congress, they
do not pass the resolutions and laws recommended
by the President will be evidence of weakness
and Of dread which would be almost dsgraceful to
the character Of the country. 1t Is time that the
British government and people, and all Europe,
should know that the American government and
people are resolute, bold, determined in public ac-
ton, and mean to take step, to make no asser-
ton, to put faith in no principle from which dread
or fear might make them depart.
Now is the time for action-nor can England 60
to war at this crisis, if she would-the fears and
predictions of Wall street to the contrary notwith-
standing. What's the price Of stocks this morning
The Texas question, in its day Of glory, killed off
whole patches OF politicians, from Clay to Van Bu
remand the Oregon question bids fair to spread as
| much havoc among the world. What's the price Of
stocks What's the price of cotton?

Of the citizens at large for the appointment Of Henry
