Dear Sir-On Monday last, the House re-
sumed the consideration of the Bill, imcorpora-
ting the Potomac and Chic Rail Road Com
pany.
Mr.. Lee rendered to the advocates Of the
Wheeling interest, the proposition for the con-
struction of a Branch of the road, from
some point on Buffalo Creek to Wheeling
The Wheeling subscription Of one million Of
dollars TO be employed in the construction Of
the Branch, and the Company to pay the sum
over and above that which might be requisite
Mr.. Edgington said the proposition was
suddenly made, and he was unprepared to ac-
cept it, but intimated his unwillingness To
take it unless il were in black and white from
the Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road Company
MIR. Lee said it could be put in the bill with
forfeiture Of Charter. if the Branch road
were not made.
Messrs. Bocock and Scott both read amend,
ments, which they intimated it to be their in
tention to propose TO the bill. They were O
similar purport, designed to secure the STATE
against injury that might ensue 10 her turn

James f. Sie,cat, Esq,
The President of the United States on Satur-
day last. communicated to the House of Rep
resentatives in answer to its call, a portion of
the correspondence that had transpired be-
tween our Government and that Of Great Brl-
tain upon the subject of Oregon, since his last
annual message.
have taken the pains TO make an abstract OF
this conespondencewhich, think presents the
principal points Of it, and which you may use
provided you do not think proper to publish the
whole of it, which should judge was rather
too voluminous for your columns.
The first letter is from Mr.. Buchanan, to the
Hon. Louis McLane underd ofthe Dec. 18th,
lS45, in which he states that "the President
has received information, from a variety of
sources, which he cannot disregard, that Great
Britain is now making extensive warlike prep
arations, and thatall herrelations with European
powers seem to be peaceful; the impression
here, is that these preparations look TO rup-
ture with the United States on the Oregon
question. Mr.. b. directs our Minister to bring
the subject to the early notice of the Earl oil
Aberdeen, to ASCERTAIN his opinions upon them,
and also TO communicate his (Mr. McLane's)
own opinions upon the subject, with the least
practicable delay. The secondle letter dated Janu-
airy 3rd, is from Mr.. McLane to Mr.. Buchan-
an, in which he gives the particulars of an in
terview with the Earl of Aberdeen on the Both
ultimo. He states "that upon such subject
it IS not always easy to obtain very categorical
answers, or entirely definite official intorma-
ton, and thereiorehe thought frank, personal
conference the best and only mode of obtaining
any satisfactory information whatever. In con-
versation he adverted to the extensive warlike
preparations making by Great Britain, and
the inference the President Of the United States
had drawn from them, from the information
before him. Lord Aberdeen frankly replied
that with the sincerest desire TO avoid it, they
were obliged to look to the probability of a
rupture with the United States; and that in
such crisis. the warlike preparations now

We have the pleasure this week of present

new dress of beautiful type, manufactured al
the Foundry Of Mr.. FIELDING Lucas, Jr., Of
Baltimore. We have been encouraged to in

ton of a generous and enlightened public.
We shall continue to bestow the most unit
ring industry on our paper, and shall spare nc
reasonable expense to make it an useful and
interesting channel Of communication to the
public. In mechanical neatness, the "Gaz-

! G9-Our Correspondent, "E. c." is com
planning, we respectfully suggest, withoutcause
AS we shall endeavor to show in very few
words. He says: CHOW in reply to my last
YOU say, that had sent you to read long ar
ticle from an English newspaper published in
New York" Now we did not say that ''E
c." had sent us to read long article from an
English newspaper published in New York
but that he had referred us to an article IN the
ALBION, an English newspaper published in
New York, for an exposition of his views
We certainly had not the least intention Of
disappearing our respected Correspondent,
and we here quote our remarks to show what
we did say
at is true our correspondent refers us to an
article in the ALBION an English newspaper
published in New York, for an exposition .oi
his views; but we confess, pressed as we are
for time, we have been unable to glance at its
contents, although, in Difference to his request,
we shall take advantage Of our earliest leisure
to do so. AT the same time we must say that
We had much rather receive the opinions OF
our correspondent expressed in his own forci-
bic language, than undertake to search them
out amidst the intricate mazes of ponderous
review"
We suggest to our Correspondent. that there
is some difference between ga long article. from
an English newspaper published in Newly DIRK"
and "an article IN the ALBION, an English
newspaper published in New York" This
is ''the head and front of our ofending-no
more"-that we did not say that il was an ar
Gle from the american Quarterly Review"
published IN the ALBION, an English newspa-
per published in New York. Our Correspon-
dent had stated the fact himself, in the commu-
nication to which we were replying, that it
was from the ''North American Review
therefore we could not have misrepresented
him if we had so desired-whch we certainly
did not. We respectfully ask the attention of
our Correspondent to our comments again.
As to what our Correspondent says in rela-
ton to our "impatience to get rid Of the fur
ther discussion of the Oregon question:" We
would remark that he seems to labor under
mistake as to the cause of that anxiety. So
far as the issue of such discussion may be con
cerned, we believe the past will show that we
have nothing 10 fear for the future. 1t is be-
cause we have not only undertaken to answer
our correspondent, but because we honestly
believe lce hare ans,rered him upon the subject
of our title to Oregon-the only issue we have
ever tormed--that we are anxious to discontin-
ne the discussion. If, however, our cores
pondent is of different opinion, we have
only to say, LET him come on, and an impartial
public shall Judge bewteen us.

Mn. EDITOR After the impotence you
display. to get rid of the further discussion OF
the Oregon Question in your paper, a sense
of justice to myself, alone induces me to trou-
bic YOU with a short communication. You
should remember, however, that an Editor who
undertakes to answer Correspondent IN his
editorials, places himself thereby upon foot
ing with all other newspaper disputants, and
has no longer the privilege OF putting stop to
the discussion at his own pleasure, nor as long
as that Correspondent thinks himself agreved
or misrepresented. Now in reply to my last
YOU say, that | had sent you to read, a long
article from an English newspaper published
in New York. The piece sent you as con-
veying my sentiments was from the North
American Quarterly Review, one of the old
est ablest and most respected American htera-
ny journals; and had | supposed you Were I'M
acquainted with its character, (although from
its excellence it had been copied into the "En-
glish newspaper'') would certainly have ap-
prised you Of its character. According to this,

merely request you to make this communica-
ton public, that your readers may be disabused
of the impression your remarks were calcula-
ted to make, that had not only used "Brltlsh
arguments" against our own claims TO Ore
gon, but had drawn them from British sources
wish them also constantly to remember thai
nay object has never been to establish the Bri-
| tish claim in preference to our own, but mere

ton. Sincerely, your friend, E. L.

Government ofthe United States have formally
avowed claim to the whole of the Oregon
territory, it is no less certain that Great Brit
ain has, in manner equally formal, declared
that she too has rights in Oregon territory, in
compatible with the exclusive claim advanced
by the United States.
He then states his object now to be, to ascer-
tain from Mr.. Buchanan, whether, surprising
the British Government to entertain no objec-
ton to such a course, il would suit the views
of the United States Government to refer TO
arbitration, not, as has already been proposed,
the question of an equitable partition OF the
territory, but the question OF title in either of
the two Powers to the whole territory, subject
of course to the condition that if neither
should be found, in the opinion of the arbitra-
ton, to possess a complete title to the whole
territory, there should in that case, be assigned
to each that portion of territory which would,
in the opinion of the arbitrating Power, be
called for by joint appreciation of the re-
spective claims OF each.
He suggests reference on the above prin-
ciple to some friendly Sovereign or State, but if
more agreeable to the United States, mixed
commission, with an umpire appointed by
common consent; or board composed Of the
most distinguished civilians and jurists Of the
time, appointed in such manner, as should
bring all pending questions TO the decision OF
enlightened, impartial and independent minds.
