THE OREGON QUESTION,

A correspondent Of the N. Y. Evening
Post, says:
The English news is generally regar.
ded as pacific, and the few who Of late
thought the danger of war imminent, are
now modifying their opinions. 1t is be-
lieved that neither the President nor an Y
member of the cabinet share the fears that
have been expressed in other quarters. S.
What would you say should the Oregon
question be settled amicablv in few days
Nous rerroas, as our good friends Of the
Union says.
The Tribune says:
ave have reason 10 know that the Bril-
fish Ministry are anx Gus TO avoid a War
with us, and will concede as far as they can
TO preserve Peace. We believe they have
already arranged informally with Mr.. Nc
Lane the basis OF a compromise and final
settlement of the Oregon BOUNDARY. We
believe they have selected Minister TO
take the place of Mr.. Packenham a,
Washington, and formally complete the
adjustment. We are sure that those emit.

A STRICT CoNsTRUCTIoNIsT.-M G.. F.
holland, of Arksnsas, is said to have made
the following speech at the Memphis Con-
vention:-
Mr. President,-Before the vote is taken,
| wish TO make speech which shall not
be five minutes long, (chee RS, and cries Of
go on!) When Gen Geo. Rogers Clarke
was taken prisoner by the Indians, they
made him pack the skillets and. things Of
The whole party,and keep up with EN- too.
After 'l'reo or -four days he was worn
out with fatigue that he could with difficult
ty drag one foot after the other. So he
thought he'd make 'em speech-( cheers.)
Throwing down the skilets, and mounting
log, he stretched out his hands and said
-"Gentlemen Lngins! (peals Of laughter),

From BUNEos AyERs.-The Union has q
letter from Bucnou Ayres, dated Septem-
Der %. The writer says
After the taking Of Colona by the En-
gIsh and French squadrons, the Argentine
government prohibited any communica
ton with them, which obliged them to look
to Rio Grande for supplies Of fresh pro
visions for the town of Montevideo, as we'll
as themselves. From Buceo, we learn
that all the population ofthe Uruguay re-
public are arming; and on the lst January,
1916, President Oribe will have an army
of 20. 900 troops, natives of that state
The French, Italian, and Spanish resi-
dents have asked for arms to enrol them
selves, and will form body Of 10000 in
fantry besides.
The same correspondent furnishes a
translation ofthe letter addressed by $500
French residents Of the Uruguay Repnb-
lie, 10 Gen. Oribe, asking 10 be enrolled
for the defence OF The Argentine Govern
ment.
This petition shows that the French re-
sidens are opposed TO the measures OF the
two Ministers; and assure you that nine
cut of ten of the foreigners in this country

will be as ruinous as they are unjust TO
them.
The recent decree that every person be
enrolled has been carried into effect Ev-
cry shop and store is closed, and are daily
drilled from TO 6, p. NJ; and the Argen-
tine Government have over $4,000 men
that can take the field. England and France
must send large army 10 meet this allied
army Of 10000. which will be augmented
TO SIS, 1000, if the services of foreigners are
accepted. And since the war of indepen-
dence, no arming has taken place with
such enthusiasm, and the government: of

H,sroRy OF W,scoNs1S.-We have been

HIsToRY OF WIscoNsIN-We have been
favored with the persual of a portion of the
prool-sheets Of a history of Wisconsin,
which is now in press, and may shortly be
expected, by the reading public.
OF course no reliable judgment of the
general character Of the work could be
formed by the partial persual we have thus
given 1t, and it is not, therefore for such
purposes tina. we now advert 10 it. Ia is
only of portion of that which we have
seen that we propose now TO speak; and
that portien relates 10 a feature Of our great
na,ioal disgrace, namely, the Ashburton
Treaty. In adveriing TO that monstrous
affair, we have often cited its gross viola
ton and ACKNOWLEDGMENT of our western
territory, about which few seem to have
either thought or cared. The facts in that
matter are, that there was no dispute or
misunderstanding, whatever in regard to
the boundary line, in the vicinity of Like
Superior, and yet, by that treaty we gave
away, TO the British large slice Of most
important territory, there. Why this was
done has not been explained, but the fact
is indisputable. The forth coming work,
10 which we have adverted, refers 10 this
loss of western territory in the following
language:
"This region embracing million OF
acres, and including these mines and the
Grand Portage, was ceded to the British,
BY the treaty of August, 1912. BY the
treaty ofl7S3, the British Fur Company,
who had a post at The Grand Portage, had
to remove 10 Kiministiquia, fifty miles fur
Their north, greatly to their Inconvenience
and disadvantage, having to take circu-
itous route IN their communications with

since the revolution. Millions of dollars
were expended, and thousands Of lives sac

melted to deeds of blood by this Company
during the last war"

ANNEXATION OF TExAs.-By reference
to our Congressional proceedings, it will be
perceived that the resolutions Of annexation
have passed the Senate, and doubtless e'er
this been perfected by the signature of the
President. Thus il the matte, at rest. The
circumstances attending the consummation
OF this measure, it strikes us are peculiarly
gratifying, Without strife, without blood
shed, without sacrifice of honor or integri-
~, but purely by the natural aft nifty of the
mass of mind of both nations, we have &C
CURED, and brought within the pale Cf our
institutions, this country of Texas. 1t is Il
marked indication of the progress and pow
or of republicanism; and we cannot doubt,
but that 1t is not there TO stop but to go for
ward, ill our whole continent feels lis in
fuence; aye we may hope, in time, the
whole world; not 10 cx st,perhaps under one
government, but nevertheless to be one in
the sentimen; and practice OF republican,
ism.
So far as annexation is 10 affect our owl
immediate nation, we consider the goot
vastly prcpondcraics. Texas has inslitu
tons which We do not like; she has feature:
in her constitution which are Objectionable
but what state of the Union has not? Arc
there any that will claim porlecionl We
cannot do everything at once, and the goot
we desne, is TO be altai ned only by SLOW
aud toilsome cxcrlions. Texas, had no les
of evil out ofihc Union than in it; nor as
nation are we any moro responsible for he
evil now than befole. We have taken III,
ii rsi and important step towards reclaimin:
the erring sister. We have Impaired II
her our own strength. As one of us inter
nal discord is qucllcd, and fear ofcx,cnal IL
yas.on withdrawn. Where nation exist
in peace, with herself and with the world
here does education flourish, and the art
ana sciences advance, and where that i
the case those evils, which Gas indeed d
all evils spring from degradation and ig
norance must give way and be lost in ad
sancing virtue. The admission Of Texas
is truly an act of national greatness; it in
dica,es the goodness of the national hear,
We have taken Texas kindly by the hand
and With us she will progress TO the still
hotter condition as a nation, which we thinl
in store for us.
