THE TREATY RATIFIED.

The Senate of the United States have
ratified the treaty ior lle settlement OF The
Oregon boundary, h vote OF th'f'y-n'ae
to iourteen. The injunction o' secttsy ho1
having hpen removed, the supulatons ol
/ e treaty are ROT as yet prerl-ely knowhi
Int we presume they are very huie, 4 al
an different lIom those mentioned IN our
last paper.
Without doubt the final ard peaeeable
settlempnl of this long vexed question: Is
the cause OF gfrrtgratulation to the people
of all parties, aud we douht not, il their
sentiments upon the mater could he as
certainad. the majority IN It's favor would
be even greater than that whth II has re-
ceived in the Senate.
Tins has another criminal project of the
domina"t pduy been deirated. AT the
commencement OF the present session OF
Congress, nsiority Of The patty, under
tho guidance of despotic leaders, appeared
to lp uurhangeally pledged to the line OF
81 30. Mr. Allen said that a l1rge MAJOR
uy OF The Senate. would 60 Tor II, and un-
der that impression, Mr.. Cass appeared TO
take great delight in repeatedly asserting
that ,twar was inevitable" But the Two
most notorious demaEogues IN The country
have been DEFEATED. the Senate have us
tened to the voice OF common sense ana
common ustirp. and have preferred set
ting a long-vexed question OF boundary
uuon a Lasis hitherto repeatedly y Offered 10y
tha Uuit,d States, to involving tue coun-
trv in war for the possession OF strip OF
territory Oh the Pacific ocean, to which the
United States have also repeatedly made
virtual disclaimer of any right.
Very dscreditablp would it have been to
the Senate, if they bad preferred any other
coulsp, tut knowing the strlctness with
which party lines are drawn, there was
some fear in the present instance, that par
ty dirtation " would prevail over the interest
Of the country. The event, however, has
fully justified the wamest admirers OF The
Senate, I'd il Il additional demonstration
that there is somethngi in the constitution
Of that body. which makes il the nors el-
fecmal barrier against parry or executive
ultrasm.
Does not the event of this matter furnish
strong evidence ui The lcapaciy ol the
present adfniui-lr lion! 1t has large ma
iorty in 10th lranches ol Congress. A:
the commencement oI the present session,
II mi torth as rts lending doctrine, that Our
ne 10 the " hoe Oi Oregon was "rIPar and
as one avowedly holding
The sentiments Of the Executive, Mr.. Allen
was elected chairman OF the committee on
FOREIGN Affairs, but in the setremcnto OF the
most important question which has come
heore The Congress, he administration aud
It's chairman are both repud aud by Sem
ate with large Loco oco majority y,-!eIl in
II mrnurty OF toHltrrR, Without the con-
tide nee OF It's own party, how can the adj
mlnj-lration pretend to the confidence OF
the rouury!
A trw ot the more rabid OF the LocoIoco|
papers are attempting to get up the lm-
preston tha. the peope DO uotaPproyc the
ratification nf the treaty. Vain viii be-
such an attempt to break the fall of the ud-
min tralion, and shield it trom the re-
proach due to its incapacity or to some
dung worse. The treaty was ratified by
the Senate with nearer approach 20 una
ruutv than any treaty ever was except thot
of lG49 We doubt not that II would he
ratified win the same unantnity 10y the
