MIR. CALHOuN'S SPEECH.

In compliance with the universal desire of
our readers, as far as we have heard it express
sed, we have surrendered thegreater portion OF
our columns this week to the Speech of Mr..
CALHOUN upon the Oregon question Thepo-
sition of Mr.. C. gives great importance TO his
views and opinions, and his Speech will
doubtless attract very general attention both at
home and abroad, and have the effect of sooth-
ing the public mind and calming down all fears
about war between the United States and En-
gland in the arrangement of the long pending
controversy about Oregon.
We have read ADLER speeches from Mr. Cal
houn than the one now occupying ourcolumns
land perhaps this effort would have been
more distinguished for that very high order of
intellect usually displayed by him, had he di-
rected his attention TO the discussion of tile
But vet there is one feature striklngly charac-
teristic throughout his speesh-niS 1ohole soul

0REG0N--FREE TRADE.

Our readers doubtless noted the reference
made in the letter of Summers last week IN
the remarks OF Mr.. Hannegan, about orepon
and Free Trade. He declared thai he womb
never surrender Oregon for Free Trade. lie
declared that the grain-growers of the Balue
and Black Sea countries would supply Eng.
land with her bread-stufis instead Of this coup-
Try. He denies that the repeal of the Com.
Laws Of England win benefit the farmers Of
this country. Good doctrine, this-from a
strong Loco Foco source, After all. the coun-
try win be under obligations Cat least we hone
SOY to the Loco Focos. The Southern Wing
will settle the Oregon controversy on amicabe
terms, and the Western Wing viii perhaps

no fears of war with England. knew that
Texas was an Independent State, and had 50
been acknowledged by England herself; 50 that

thought that, il the Texas question was not

both fond (too tond) Of war England would
have interfered, and then it would cost us a
war to recover that which, by wise and a
bold policy, we might have eifectually secured.
