design Of Providence in accordance with
tue spirit Of our Government, and that
sooner or later, such justice must be melted

place upon the treaty, the American peo-
ple will NEVER consent that the right TO
the free navigation Of the great river OF
Oregon shall belong to BRUSH subjects lon
ger than the year 1859, when the charter
OF the Hudson's Bay Company will expire
Upon this platform the democracy OF the
whole Union can and will unite.
