SATURDAY, APRILI, Is4G.

OREGON NOW The reader will notice
MIR Webster's remarks upon this subject. His
opinion, ho,o the Oregon Question. should be
settled, is we'll known. 1t was made known in
his Faneuil Hall speech last fall. 1t was this
let our people settle the territory and thus
Amcricunizc it-and "the whole" would be
secured by occupancy.
But Mr. Polk, after offering to give up
half, set up claim to the whole. This has
brought up the question to an issue. He has
backed ont and backed in again. Half of his
party in the Senate, too, go for the 49th paral-
lei They do this, no doubt, to keep the coun-
try out of a war into which the President has
almost brought it by his shutting course upon
the question The question cannotb be settled
now according to Mr. WIS notion, and he now
looks at it inevitable that half of the terrific
~ must | g given up, or the country must fight
for tan issue that ought never to have been
allowed--umless the U. s. were willing Ia sur
render all north of 30 to England. Mr. Cal
houn's prediction at the opening of Congress,
that Mr. Folks course would put half of Ore
gon beyond our reach, is about to be verified
most probably.
Accounts agree, as far as we have seen
them, tina: Mr. Bcntons ''come out upon the
few ultra war men of the Senate was the next
thing to nnnihilation of them. The Wings
kee p pretty quiet and let the Polkitcs do the
fighting among themselves. The National In
tclligenccr has the following remark upon this
war among the Polk Senators;
awe somewhat anticipated the assault of
Mr. Benton, on Wednesday, upon the Russian
Hne,would have brought on general engage
ment in the Senate yesterday; but the over
whclming strength given to the party of the
forty-nineS by the greatnames of JErFERsoN,
MApIsoN and MoNROE, put anv serious oppo-
sition out of the question; and the adverse par
ty--still gallant, though greatly reduced in
number-after a single shot to save their hon
or, good as gave up the field.
