I'VE cannot doubt the correctness OF the decision
OF the President, and Mr. Buchanan, in declining TO
submit the question To arbitration for the reasons
alleged by him, and more so from the fact that Il
would be impossible to obtain impartial arbitrator.

eminent, and our growing greatness, with jealousy,
and feel themselves Interested in doing nothing 10

"There is enough to show that the British minis
ter, probably by instructions from his government,
has endeavored to have the Oregon subject reopen
ed, though the plan proposed Of submitting to ar.
duration is one which our government, we trust,
will never agree to. We have already pointed out
the dangers Of this expedient in which the United
States would have every thing lose and nothing to
gain. Mr.. Buchanan, with that sagacity which has
distinguished him in the conduct of this delicate
question, has very properly rejected the proposition
though he has evnced by his offer to negotiate, that
our government ia still aciuaied in the settlement Of
this subject by proper concilatory spirit"

attack contemplated. On the American continent
her Canadas border on our territory for hundreds
Of miles. In contest with Us these would become
the seats Of war;. We should have neither armies
nor ammunition to transport across wide and rough
seas The contest would be, so to speak, on our
own soil. few weeks would suffice to throw
upon her colonial territory an army of 200 900 men,
while the means Of subsistng il would grow within
sight of our tented fields. In hostile struggle we
should have no neighboring nations like England,
ready to pounce on us on a removal Of any portion
OF tho outward pressure, nor should we have starry
ing population, like her, at our own doors, dying
like rotten sheep, or threatening anarchy in the hor-
rid struggle for daily sustenance. The most we
could have would be an imbecile party opposition.
''But this would not be ALL In a contest with US,
England would at be deprived Of her supply
of cotton, without which she could hardly exist for
twelvemonth. Her India possessions do not fur
nish the article either in quantity quality equal to
one-hflh of the demand. Cotton she must have, and
for it the United States she Isl if not exclusively,

From the N. Y. correspondent Of the Boston Post
"The conduct Of the President in this affair has
been such as to meet the appreciation Of all men
who love their country, and are not disposed to be
dragooned into submission by British menace and
bravado. The correspondence was received here
with much rejoicing among all classes Of society;
and it satisfied all that elected last year chief
magistrate who is capable Of all the emergencies in
which he may be Cast. War is not aprrehended
by any one, unless it be by those who belong to
the class timid and mpotent.'"
From the New York True sun
"The late orgon negotiation continues still to be
the theme Of general comment, though there is a
marked difference in the degree Of excitement which
it produced on Monday, and the decided calmness
with which men spoke Of il yesterday. With the

School in the town of Woodstock, Shenandoah

object will be not to hasten them specifically
over great many books, but by explaining
difficult notwithstanding various subjects
and rigldly examining the pupils on every les
son, to make them thoroughly acquainted with
the elementary principles OF learning, that
they may not be puzzled and discouraged by
premature progress. They hope, from many
years experience in the very difficult task Of
thus properly and successfully imparting in
struction to the minds of youth, and the mild
yet firm application of discipline to the various
dispositions OF the young, as well as particular
attention that will be paid to the moral as well
as the mental improvement of such as may be
committed to their care, to give satisfaction to
their patrons and permanently to the school
they propose To establish.
The terms of tuition, for session of five
months, are as follows:
Alphabetical lessons, Spelling, Reading,
Writing and Arithmetic, Sc
