nc newspaper of this city, portions OF an arti-
Gle which states, among other things, that his
Orerop resolutions were concocted with the
advice of the British Minister and at his very
liable" MIR. c. said this newspaper was sup
posed TO have been established to favor the as
pirations of some individuals in regard to the
mex. Presidency, but he could not conceive
nov any individual, aspiring to this high sta
,lea, could suppose that so low hireling as
ne writer Of this article could possibly aid his
hopes. Whoever was the author of this arti-
Gle, il was never conceived but by scoundrel,
OF written but by slanderous pen, sc. &C.
f the editor, or writer of this infamous article,
sought notoriety, so far as he (Mr. c. was
.oncerNed, he should have it-for he should 90

establishment of the United States.

The Oregon resolution being called up,
Mr.. Evans addressed the Senate at 'ength.
lie agreed with the Senator from Georgia, that
here were grave and great questions of public
Jaw connected with the title to Oregon. Some
Senators felt restrained from speaking their
real sentiments on the subject, and others, be-
cause they did not speak them, were constantly
repeating that no one hadquestloned our title to
the whole of Oregon. For one, he would not
be put in this condition; by the blessing of God
1e would speak what he thought Mr. f. then
vent on TO shew that all which truly divided
is tIom Great Britain was the navigation OF
ne Columbia-thc navigation, as he believed,
OF an in-nayigable river!
