Oregon in Europe.


The hearts of Philan;hropists and Republicans
throughout the Old World have been made sad by
the bullying spirit manifested by our Executive and
the 54o 40 squad in Congress respecting Oregon,
and especially in the refusal Of the former TO
submit the difference to Arbitration in any form or
before any tribunal. The stoutest champions OF
Liberal Institutions have been shamed by it. The
follow extract Of private letter from an eminent
English pbilanthropst TO his friend In this City,
written on the receipt of the refusal 10 Arbitrate we
have been allowed TO publish:
