Declaration Of Independence, The United States
are already in condition to compete with
England in manufactures and commerce. 10
rival her 10 wealth and population, and TO dis
pute with her tho sovereignty of the ocean,
The war of Independence was the first step
which TIE Americans took towards accruinp
that national power and glory, which The
faies have in reserve for them. Their own
enterprise. power, wealth, and expansion, have
prepared for them another conflict with the
spirit Of the old world, from which they cannot
retrograde if they would. The Americans
want sea-ports on the Pacific, and they will
have them. They want The Columbia, its
valley, and all its branches and the whole of
Oregon. and they will have them. The con-
test is inevitable. Then let il come. say
lie; US fight for our country till the " crack of
DOOM" Let Us have the chance of exclaiming
in the words OF patriot, I" We have met the
enemy and they are ours" These are my
sentiments and convictions in relation TO the
present crisis.
In the foregoing exposition have sndeav-
ored to conhne my remarks 10 those circnm.
stances alone which of Neutrality-suspicious.
ing the inevitable course of even,s-are CAL
Ica!a.sd al this moment, and are bound speedily
10 destroy peace and create war between the
two countries. | have mentioned neither
Mexico nor Canada. Nothing but war can
ease Mexico for the loss of Texas, and nothing
but war can rescue Canada from British OPP
preston. Judging from past events and re-.
cent manifestations, large proportion Of the
Canadian population is ripe for revolt Their
cause is the cause Of emancipation-ihe cause
of human liberty. Finally, nothing but war
can emancipate this continent; for nearly all
the distraction that now prevails in Mexico,
as well as the enmity which the people Of that
country bear TO the United States, may be at
tributed to foreign politics and foreign influ-
ence.
10 conclusion, il is with hesitation, confess,
tha. can PASS any comment upon The course
pursued by the Government. of the United
States. II is rumored that negotiations are
again resumed about Oregon. There appears
TO be disposition to stave off decision.
will not say that there is .imidiiy manifested
in the Councils of the nation, for might be
doing injustice, but there is evidently hest
fancy and vacillation which is perfectly IN.
accountable. One thing can say. with as.
surance. that if cowardly part is acted on the
present occasion ii will not be by the American
people. Their past history is sufficien, evi.
dence Of American patriotism. The faul. will
be with their Government. There are YAM
KEGS 10 Europe, Asia, Africa. South America,
and there are thousands Of American citizens
in Oregon already, and Americans will con.
iinue to flock to Oregon whether their Govern
meni will protect them or not.
Yours, &c.
