rhs OREGON Boundary Settled.

Seldom are we enabled 70 announce news 30 I'M
portans and 30 sladdening that received from
Washington by the Electric Telegraph last even
ing. A TREATY WITH ENGLAND for the fuH and
final settlement of the Oregon Boundary was
transmitted By the President to The Senate yesteT
day. and Immediately taken into consideration by
tha; body in Secret Session. The discussion may
or may not be protracted, but the result cannot be
doubtful. The Treaty will be ratified by q vote of
something like 10 TO l4-that is very nearly the vote
by which the Senate originally resolved TO give the
Notice in form inviting to Cancellation and peace
or course, nothing is yet known here Of the pre-
cise conditions of settlement but they are substan
TALLY those which every body understood that the
question must be settled, whenever it should be-
The 4g,h parallel of latitude as the boundary from
the Rocky Mountains to the ocean is the basis OF
the compromise. Vancouvers Island Is conceded
wholly to Great Britain. with right to navigate
for some years the Colurnbia River All this is as
1, should be. We reiterato our deliberate Judgment
that the line of 499 is TO usa preferable Boundary
10 that of $40 4o and that the concession OF the Tree
navigation of the Columbia, during the ensuing ten
o, twenty years is in truth no concession al ALL but
positive benefit to our people who have settled or
shal settle in Oregon.
We do no, believe that Mr. Polk has acted so
shabby as to send 10 Treaty Of Boundaries without
having frs, signed it, in the foolish hope OF shifting
the responsibility Of settling the Boundary from
himself to the Senate. There are few 30 ignorant
as not to know that the responsibility of making
treaties devoves on the President, that Of raihca
tion only on the Senate. But it. as is barely posi-
BILE, he has SO submitted the Treaty, it makes no
practical difference the Senate will raty, and he
could not then refuse to sign II.
There are some reflections on the conduct OF Po-
liticians and Parties rresisiby suggested by this
settlement, but we will not indulge them row
Sufficient unto the day is the good thereof The
time for retrospection and comment will come.
BY the way where are those luminous cores
ponden,s of certain journals who have been so per-
emptoriy writing from Washington that Mr. Paken-
ham had received by the last Steamship no instruc'
lions to settle this question: and that no adjustment
was in progress
New-York daily tribune. [volume] (New-York [N.Y.]) 1842-1866, 1846-06-11
MISREPRESENTATION Confirmed.

In confirmation of The positive statement OF our
own correspondent, we copy the following from the
Commercial:
WARRINGTON June e,h-5t P. NJ
THE OREGON ADJUSTMENT-CAB CHANGES
I drop line TO say that Mr.. Pakenham has made
an offer for the partition of the Oregon territory.
The precise details unknown, bat il is said
that it is similar to the offer made in 1896. The
forty ninth parallel is the basis But Great Britain Is
TO have the whole of Vancouvers Island, and the
permanent common navigation of the Columbia.
That is to say-they may paddle their canoes till
they come 10 porage-ior no provision is made
for giving them the right of transit through our ter
riory. So the free navigation amounts 10 nothing.
The President will submit treaty TO the Senate,
founded on these terms in Il few days.
Mr.. Buchanan does not assent 20 the treaty, and
will have nothing 10 do with making it.
OF course, he is going out OF the Department
forthwith, and the Attorney General is 10 take his
place temporarily, Many Cabinet and diplomatic
chang es are talked Of
Mr.. Shdell and Mr. Haywood are spoken OF for
the Navy Department. The latter will be the man.
Mr. Bancroft, is 10 have a Foreign Mission.
I Should Mr. Ray1eo0d be called into the
Cabinet, the Sc 4os will indeed be used up cab

'ConQuering Peace

Gen. Scott is rightly DESTROYS of an early and
Organ and the mass of the champions OF War all
profess TO be jealous for Peace-nnxous to conquer
Peace They only want TO bring Mexico to her
senses'-make her willing TO treat and be friendly
with US. This Ia our view exactly and we are very
earnest In ii. But we cannot believe that the true
way to obtain Peace is by sending our Army farther
and farther into Mexico. battering down her fort
resses, capturing her ports trampng down her har-
vests firing her dwellings and shedding the blood OF
her People. We know this would not be the right
way to make peace between individuals, and it can.
not be as between nations Let us indicate our plan
Of conquering Peace
LIE. our Government nj once disclam any hten-
ton of aggrsndizng the Nation by farther spoa-
ton of Mexico Letit refuse any farther extension
Of territory at the expense Of feeble distracted
neighbor Let our Volunteers be paid for their lost
time and sent home to attend 10 their harvests, and
let our Army take up position defensive merely
The true way would be TO withdraw il at once from
the waters of the Rio Grande those of the Nueces,
on this eide of that desert which Mr. c. J. Ingersoll
90 recently declared the natural boundary between
this Country. including Texas, and Mexico. Let
Mr.. Buchanan indicate by note to the Foreign Min
listers al Washington the sincere desire CT our Gov
eminent for prompt and honorable adjustment OF
differences with Mexico on the principle of mutual
forgy eness of injuries Let those Ministers be in
voked TO interpose their good offices for the reesao'
lishpent of Peace After the exhibition already
given of our power and Mexico's weakness in battle,
such our part could not be attributed 10
inability or fear. Who doubts that it would con-
quer peace within six weeks Who does not real
ize that il would be the wisest and best thing we
could do even if the thundcrs of Sinai had never
syllebed the stern, iniexbe injunction. Thou shalt
not kill
But the other mode of conquering Peace is
that on which our Rulers seem resolutey bent,
though its certain cost in public treasure must
amonn, to many millions while the injury TO Indus
Try and Business will swell to twenty times as much
This is on the superstition that we succeed in con-.
quering Peace by shot and Shells and shattered
