they be slow in drawing the inference TO which
their demeanor on that occasion so significantly
points. The anxiety and alarm which they exhibited
certainly Justify the hope if not the belief that Mr.
the Presidents views and wishes. On this point we
are happy in finding our judgment confirmed by The
National Intelligencer as follows:
I'VE are not surprised that the editor OF the
MON should be anxious to reconcile the conflicting
statements of the Senators referred TO; but we
imagine he will find the task much more difficult than,
we are happy nov, TO believe will be compromise
of the conflicting claims 10 Oregon We doubt II
there was person present at the scene OF Ihurs'
dav beside the Editor of the Union, who was not
satisfied that Mr.. HAYWOOD spoke under the
sanction of the PRESIDENTS personal communica-
lions to him. Had this not been the case, MIR. HAY
WOOD could not as friend Of the President have
remained silent under the searching interrogeor1es
of Mr. HASNEGAS and Mr.. ALLEN. Assuming TO
express the President views, it was his duty TO re-
ieve that high officer from the responsibility OF his
statements unless they were warranted by direct
authority from him. Possessing that authority, II
would have been breach Of order, as well as OF de-
corum, TO it, and he therefore very properly re-
fused 10 answer. Mr.. ALLEN avowed such TO be hls
Of Mr. HAYwooD's silence and such,
we presume was that Of every auditor, excepting
the < di;or of the Union We are aware that the
conflicting assevcrations Of Messrs. HANSEGAN and
ALLEN raise question of veracity which the public
will expect to see settled and which mlst be settled
however difficulties adjustment may be, compatloiy
with the honor Of all the parties.
As for US. and all who look only 10 the peace ana
true honor of the country, it is sufficient that we
have now a responsible assurance that the Chief
Magistrate does mean something when ne talks OF
" negotiation and amcabc settlement, and IS re-
lieved from the irreconcilsble position which he
previously occupied, Of at the same time inviting
negotiation and claiming every thing in dispute
The correspondent of the Express states that
{" Messrs Atchison of Mo. and flanagan OF Indiana
visited the President on Friday Committee OF
the ultra Senators, to know what the President in
tended in regard to the extreme and modified opin-
ions charged upon him in the Senate. The President
was forewarned Of this visit by Senator from Mis-
sissipp and, therefore, Mr. Hannegan and MIR.
Atchison were received with caution and species
of non communication which did not satisfy them. Mr..
Polk would express himself no farther than 10 say
that Senator had been or was authorized TO speak
for him His opinions were found in his Message,
and all Senators could read for Themselves Taking
into consideration the Presidents peculiar circum-
stances ;his appears rather to confirm Than contra
dict the views of the 1nteigencer
