solution authorizing the Notice leaves the time and

Locoiocos in Congress found that the President
had gone quite too far in his brayado against Eng
land and his exclusive pretensions to the whole Of
Oregon, and they have now most efecinally rebuked
him. The Washington correspondent Of the Tri-
bune says;
The ultra Locofocos are very angry about the
way they have been cornered on this question:
The Western wing of Locoiocoism little thought,
when they elected Polk aud Dallas, and large
majority of Congress as Polk men, that they would
soon have to bite their lips with rage. The say

Several Oregon men have expressed their wish
openly that Congress would now adjourn and 90
home leaving the Tariff Just as il is If they had
only sense enough TO do this, it would be the best
thing they could do for the country. Ifthey would
only pass a resolution TO adjourn about the begin
ming or middle Of May, leaving the country without
the benefit az of their Legislation unless to pass
some private and appropriation bills, which they
could do in a few days, they would manifest more
patriotism than give them credit for.

NUMBER IS.


To US nothing can appear more supremely ridie-
uIous than the groanings Of the last Green Mount
ain Freeman over the miserable apologies which
Mr. Dillingham; makes for betraying the people oil
Vermont in voting for the admission OF Iexas.-
For his submitting TO become the humble tool oil
party in breaking down the tariff, in irampling up
on the laws Of the country in admitting members OF
Congress chosen by general ticket, and voting ior
the odious sub-reasury, this Brney concern has no
tears TO she'd Such petty occurrences are quite a.
side from the mission Of third partyism which has
but single object to accomplish. II the ecnors
of this Journal actually believed that Mr. Dhling-
ham would rise above his party and oppose annex
alton which they knew was an article in the demo-
cratic creed, they betrayed most profound ignor-
ance Of the history Of the democratic party for
twenty years past Let them point us to single
instance during this period, when nine-tenths ofthe
pseudo democratic party at the north in all ques-
lions involving slavery have not shown themselves
the yeriesi tools Of the South and we might add
where the Wing party at the North almost to man
have not opposed the aggressions and usurpations
Of the slayeocracy. Never were Greeks more ser
vile than Locofocos to party discipline What
room then for charity for the motives Of these men
who in the face Of so many facts as are before the
country could prefer as they did Paul Dillingham;
to a wing who would be compelled 10 desert his
party and their principles 10 vote for annexation.-
The cause ofthe agitaors Of third partyism in this
State and 10 the Union, from the beginning TO the
end has been as rankly hypocrtical as it has been
heariless, to the cause Of human freedom and the
roodof the country. Thank heaven, the power of
the leaders of third party abolltonism is fast APP
proachng its final extinction. This ism never
possessed the capacity Of doing good, and its pow
or for doing mischefis fast fainting away-Gdtary.

A PERSONAL EXPLANATION.

Mr.. WOOD asked and obtained leave to make an
explanation. He had been absent Che sald) from
the House, and awaited himself Of the earliest OPP
portunity to make an explanation. He found in the
reported speech of the honorable gentleman from
Tennessee [Mr. MARrMl the following remark
"But another objection had been taken TO the Presi.
dents course on this subject and it originated with
gentleman from New York, Mr.. WooD,l who
had said that our title had been asserted by the Pres
ident in a staggering manner" He (Mr. WoeD)
had not as yet been able to write out the remarks
he had made or intended TO have made, on the Ore
gon question; and which, from the state Of his health
at the time, were little more than propositions, and
probably indstinctly heard. He would acquit the
honorable gentleman Of any intention to misrepre.
sent him, to mpute to him language he had never
used, and he had so informed him; but he (Mr.
woop) wished to be placed right on the record.
Mr.. MARTIN said that he had discovered the
error in the short notice Of his remarks referring TO
Mr.. Woop, of New York; and as soon as by him
noticed had appraised the publishers of the "Unon''
that Mr.. CuLvER, OF New York. was the gentleman,
and not MIR. Woop; and that the correction bad
been directly made. MIR. M said that il occurred
from the position he occupied when speaking which
was unfavorabe to the hearing Of the reporter.
lNoTE BY THE RRPoRTER.--Ths correction Of an
error which consisted in the accidental substitution
Of the name Of Mr. WooD for that of MIR CULvEa,
was made many days ago in the "Union," as the
reporter informed Mr.. Woop

The Foreign News-Its A CT and Impor-
lance.
The advlces from Europe. received by the Cam
bria are of more importance to this country than
any received at any time within the past twenty
years Their commercial importance must be ac-
knowledged by every interest in the country; the
agricultural classes will be particularly benefited
by the reductions in the tariff proposed by Sir Ro-
bert Peel. The corn growers and provision deal
ers of the West the rice growers Of South Carolina,
the wooden clock manufacturers OF Connecticut,
and, in fact, all parties will be benefited by the re-
ducton in the duties proposed by Sir Robert Peel.
This is the fourth or fifth reduction made by the
present Ministry, since they came into power, and
the prosperity OF the manufacturers OF Great Britain,
under those reductions, and the increase in the
revenue show that it has been the best policy that
could have been pursued. The modification in the
corn laws proposed in the new tariff, does not do
away with the sliding scale but the alteration 10
great improvement, and continues in existence un-
I'll the first OF February lSa9, when further re-
ducton will without doubt be made.
The introduction Of the new tariff bill OF Great
Britain into Parliament had very favor able IN
fiuence upon trade, throughout the kingdom, par
ticulary among the manufacturing districts. The
liberal policy Of Great Britain, the re-construc.
ton of the new commercial system, cannot but
have a very material and favorable influence upon
Congress, coming as it does, when our own COM
mercal system is under consideration. There
should be no delay in responding to the concessions
made in the British tariff in favor Of our principal
agricultural products Theirliberaiyin commercial
systems should mark the policy Of all nations; and
the operation Of low tariffs has been clearly set
tied by Great Britain, that should no longer hes-
tate to adopt at once the reduced average duty
consistent with the object OF this act in our form Of
government.
1t is stated in some Of the London papers that the
principal features in Mr.. Walkers new tariff bill
were known to the British government previous TO
the formation or introduction OF the new bill Of Sir
Robert Peel II this Is true, it would appear that
there 10 some collision between the two govern
ments in relation TO this matter, and that perfect
understanding existed upon the subject. II would
also appear in the event Of this being true, that
there is much better understanding between the
two governments, upon other matters, than 10 gen.
eralIy supposed, and that there is very great pro-
liability Of the questions in dispute between the two
countries being amagamsted and satisfactorily set
tied by a general and comprehensive treaty, en-
bracing the commercial and political systems
