Duncan for taking CENTRE possession OF the
whole Oregon tcrritory'' the writer says:
''Is there any man living, in his sober senses,
who is acquainted with the different treaties,
aud uuprriudIccd Ia his opinions, who can for
a moment thruk that EngIaud is 50 dead TO her
own interests, as tamcIy submit to a course at
variance with established customs, and in nom
conformity with the principles OF international
Law? Sho has maintained and claimed her
nights before the civilized world in undisturbed
authority, for nearly half century. Has she
ever acknowledged the invaldty of her title to
any nation, directly or indirectly? On the con-
trary, has she not proven, by sending thousands
of her settlers over, that she regards 1t beyond
the interference of any nation! There they
have remained British subjects, enjoying and
exercising all the rights and lmmuniues OF such

1T page 60 he says--"that we have an UNI
disputed claim to the parallel Of 40 degrees,
and no farther, must be readily admitted pail
the negolators on the subject on behalf Of
the United States, who have investigated the
subject IN its minutest details, insist that the
line Of 10 degrees should be the boandary-all
north of it belonging to Great Britain, and all
south to the United Slatcs'
We deem it unnecessary to extend our quota
tons. The writer has examined and given
summary of the official documents connected
with the question; and has pronounced, as the
reader has Just seen, that our title does not ex-
tend beyond the 18th parallel Of latitude. We
have right to presume that his opinion is
worth something, from his work being dcdca-
ted to the Secretary of the Treasury, and from
the fact Of his careful inspection Of all matters
bearing on the subject. The writer is jealous
