THE OREGON TREATY.


correspondent of the Tribune, what he calls
good authority made the following remarks on the
settlement of the Oregon question.
And now let us see what that treaty, signed by
Polk and Buchanan, and ratified by majority Of
the Loco Foco members of the Senate, does.
1. 1t gives away nearly one-haf of territory
0clearly and unquestionably" our own. The deed
is signed by the hand that established our right
to it sby irrefragable facts and arguments" To
those who stood up for 49deg. this settlement is
honorable; to those who used, or were silent when
others used the cry of the whole of Oregon to elect
James X. Polk, the settlement is disgraceful be-
trayaI of Principles and of Country.
II. It gives up the perpetual free navigation OF
the Columbia to England, which Mr.. Polk said ne
could never think of, but which with characteristic
inconsistency he has subscribed to. You will notice
that the free navigation is not only to the Hudson
Bay Company, but to call British Subjects; and this
too for ever. The mistake on this head arises from
ignorance concerning the charter of the Hudson Bay
Company. The charter of the Hudson Bay Com
pany is perpetual. 1t has been asserted that the
take. The Hudso on Bay Company acquired some
rights OF the ''NOTLn-ff eSteIu OOupduy. IHCSC
terminate in the course Of Is or 90 years, but the
Hudson Bay Company is perpetual. The existence
of British subjects may be perpetual and therefore
the free navigation of the Columbia
James K. Folks own sign manual.
III. 1t may give us great trouble in future con-
troverses about the possessory right of British sub
ects and of land claims in possession of the Hudson
Bay and Pugets Sound Agricultural Companies,
which firm and frank diplomacy might have preven-
ted.
But there is something still worse. The Docu-
ument accompanying the Treaty. | believe, Will
prove every body may well suppose, that the Of
fer of Great Britain, which Messrs. Polk & Co. have
signed as Treaty, not offered as Englands Ut
timatum Nay, indeed, it not even hoped In
England that the United States would give such an
easy bargain. The offer was intended simply to c.
pen negotiations. Our Government, when they re-
ceyed this offer, might have made counter-propc-
sition claiming up to 5ldeg. claiming the 49th,
with the whole of Vancouver's Island. We might
have thus got better terms if we could not agree
on this, arbitration might have been sorted to,
which of course would have given some thing be-
tween what we have now got and the counter-oher
which we could have made.

THE SENTINEL.
YpsfLANTL wEDNEsD AY JULY 2. 1916

G-The .New Fork Herald details professcdly
upon good authority, the doings of Cabinet council
at which mode of conducting the Mexcan war was
IL ternined On. viz, to send with the army number
ofCathoic clcrgynien, who are TO have free access
to the Mexican soldiers. citizens and camps at all
times except just preceding an engagement, when
such access u.ght be anght with danger to the ar
my or the missionaries themselves. Should these
jesuits fail ir entcng the Mexican clergy, by their
representations of the paradise offered 20 catholics by
the United States, to betray their country, Bishop
Hughes ct New York is to be sent to Mexico cloth
ed with penary powers in The hope that his sacerdc-
tai authority will accomplish what The majesty ofthe
state has failed 10 do. While the Herald comments
this damnabe scheme of esustical interfe ence with
civil affairs, abhorrent to the genius of cur nsti-
tutions, it does not doubt that the intelligence will
cause great ebuton of anti-catholc rage through
out the country: nor do we think any body will
doubt the manifestation of Indignation, the justice
of its cause, should the Heralds "authentc'' ac-
count prove true.
The Ono INSTRUMENTATION wei the Democratic
portion ofthe Ohio Delegation in Congress will adj
here to their professions we know net; but were we
assured Of their honesty and steadfastness in the
BILE stand they have taken We should bid them all
hail. They seem at length to feel that they have
been long enough the tools of Southern amiton.
The War so readily made with Mexico for the ex-
tension of our boundary at the south, and the ar
rangement as readily made to limit it at the north
has at length opened their eyes, and they have at
length declared their independence. ave can de-
feat your bill, and will defeat your bill,' says
Brinckerho in reference to reduction of the Tariff
and in the same speech he recounts the neglect the
State of Ohio has received at the hands of the Gen
eral Government and vows that not dollar will he
consent to pay on his tea and coffee to fight the
Mexican Hyena,w while the administration fees at the
first roar of the British Lion.
Mr.. Brinckerhoff seems to be well sustained by
his party at home and he and his colleagues stand
firm, and do not yield for the 'higher wages" which
will most likely be offered them, the Tarfis safe;
but whatever becomes of other things, the present
administration is doomed.

Resolved, That we not only justify but commend
the conduct of Gen. Scott in his late correspondence
with the Secretary of War, in which he informed
that functonary, in plain and indignant language,
that he was not the dupe of the schemers who were
plotting the destruction of his reputation, and en-
deavoring to deprive him of the command of the ar
my, to which he was entitled by his rank as Com
mander-in-chicf,
RESOLVED, That after careful examination of all
the facts connected with the refusal of the President
of the United States to invest General Scott with
the command of the army to which he is entitled as
well by his rank by his illustrious services, and
the blood which has streamei forth from his veins on
the batte6elds of his country, we recognise in ALL
with feelings of the highest admiraton the same no.
Bile conduct and qualities which as man and sold
Ter he has always displayed and which have SO much
endeared him to the American peope-nameIy, a
frankness which treasures no wrong in secret: a
courage which fears not to cast into the teeth of
power its meanness and injustice: and chivalrous
generosity which scorns to deprive another of sim
gle laurel gloriously won.
Resolred, That the refusal of General Scott to
supersede General Taylor, who had fought by his
side in battle except at the head of such reinforce
ments as would allow him to do so without injustice
or oboquy to that gallant old soldier, furnishes an
other evidence of the generosity and magnanmity of
his Dature, and adds new splendor to name already
rendered lllustrious throughout the world by the
deeds OF its owner.
Resolred That it is idle and vain for those carpet
knights, whose highest exploit has been to do militia
ry duty once year under the comfortable shade o.
an umbrella, to hope to sully the fame or hide the
glory of General Scott by their envous attacks and
malignant SANDER. Let the vipers bite the file they
will but break their own teeth Let the dogs bay
the moon: doubtless it will shine on.
Resolved That it is not at all surprising that the
vile panders to party should have little relish for
General SCOTS "soup as the British had for Gen.
Jackson's hot ''cofee."
RESOLVED. That it is with pleasure that we find
large majority of the Wing press of the country stan
ding forward fearlessly to vindicate the fame and
conduct of Gen. Scott, which bad men, for selfish
purposes, are endeavoring to tarnish.

OFFICIAL DESPATHES FROM THE
ARMY

ARm1s
We have been permitted to lay before our readers
the following extract from the last official dispatches
of General TAYLOR which have been received at the
War Department.
HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF OCCUPATION,
MATAMoRos, JUNE 3, 1876.
SIR: respectfully enclose herewith field return
of the forces in and near Matamoros, both regular
and volunteer. The corps known to have arrived at
Point Isabel, of which returns have yet been re-
ceved will carry the entire force under my orders to
nearly 5000 men. / am necessarily detained at this
point for want of suitable transportation to carry
offensive operations. There is not steamboat at
my command proper for the navigation of the Rio
Geande; and without water transportation, consd-
er it useless to attempts any extensive movement
Measures have been taken to procure boats of suita
bic draught and description, and one or two may be
now expected. In the mean time, propose to push
battalion of infantry far as Reynosa, and occu-
py that town. For any operations in the direction
of Monterey, it will be necessary to establish large
depot of Camargo, which shall lose time in doing
soon as proper transports arrive, unless receive
counter instructions from the Department.
1 trust the Department will see that could not
possibly nave anticipated the arrival OF Sucn nedVy Ie
Inducements from Louisiana as are now here, and on
their way hither. Without large means of trans
this force will embarrass rather than facii
tate our operations. l cannot doubt that the De-
partment has already given instructions based upon
the change in position since my first call for
volunteers.
Our last accounts of Arsta represent his force to
be halted at Coma extensive hacienda on the Mon
terey road about one hundred miles from this point.
He has pIckets covering the roads leading to Mat
amoros, with view to cut off all communication
with the interior. The departmental authorities
have issued decree denouncing traitors all who
cold intercourse with us, with those who do so.-
ann nevertheless, disposed to believe that in some
quarters at least presence is not unfavoraby
ceved. We have no intelligence from the city of
Mexico. Ordinance stores and other munitions of
war are continually discovered in the town. Five
pieces of cannon and very large amount of balls,
shells, and ammunition generally, have been brought
to light.
am, sir, very respectfully, your ob't servant.
Y. TAYLOR.
