the Oregon question, we deem highly
favorable to constitution of the pacific
relations between the two countries.

considerable swaggihg and clustering,
which is as unmeaning as it is unbecom-
ing in The discussion Of grave national

papers that we have seen, that the pro-
position of the President to Nj. Packs

England. The Ministry is not strong
enough 10 risk the support of the large
and influential class deeply interested in
the preservation o: peace, and we SHALL
feel no surprise at an offer from the
British Government for IA renewal of
negotiations upon the basis rejected BY
Mr.. Packenham.'
