The PREsIprsT's nEssAaE-The message ofthe
American President turns out not TO be the very
dreadful thing which people expected. Mr. Polk
has evidently become more moderate, IN languages
at least He may stll breathe the spirit Of the Fal
West, but he has modified his words, He has
abandoned the hery for the matchmaking the imper-
alive for the persuasive the minsory for the ddae-
tic. Instead Of declaimng what he will most posi-
lively do with the Oregon he very circumsisntially
narrates the negotiations which have taken place on
the subject, and winds up by saying that although,
IN his opinion, notice ought TO be given for putting
an end to the convention OF mutual tolerance and
neutrality, yet he leaves the matter TO Congress,
and will abide by It's decision. The President in
stead Of eyeing Sir Robert Peel as an antagonist,
and bandylng words with the British minister, dI-
reefs his attention, with more wisdom and dignity,
not only towards his political foes, such as Clay
and Webster, who are ready 70 deDounce any exu-
berance Of war policy, but also towards his fellow
democrat, Calhoun, who Is known 10 be equally OPP
posed to any idle proyoeation Of England q
With respect 10 the Oregon, whoever will take
the trouble Of opening map viii sec at once how
very diminutiye portion Of territory lies between
the offers Of each country. The Americans offer
the foHy-nInth parallel The British propose the
line Of the Columbia from where il meets that
parallel, offering, in addition, tho large peninsula
contained between the Pacific and Admiralty inlet.
OF the whole disputed tract, between the Columbia
and the forty-nnth parallel, this forms the ono
fourth in extent, and certainly three-fourihs in inn
pornnce. IL FORMS with the exception Of the free ma
vigntion OF the Columbia, the only point Of the dis
puted territory worth having worth cayilins about
Whsn two great nations have come so very near to
agreement, and left such very little space between
their proposals, IL would be quite absurd and pre-
posterous TO suppose that they could QUAR- |. What
ever may be thought OF our own claims, and we
I, have n5t been disposed TO hold them beyond all
doubt, yet, considering The poin, TO which nego.
taions have proceeded, the future object 10 con-
clude them with honor; and after the full disclosure
by President Polk Of the offers made by the Brit
sh government in 1926 and in 1874, the point oil
