The daily union. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1845-1857, 1846-04-21

our diplomalsts be startled amid the forms of their
negotiation by the sudden shock Of arms!
In this view, We have, from the first,
advocated the "notice" which the Presiden
has recommended, and which the whole country has
now with singular unanimity determined to adopt
We have advocated the notice as the best help to
negotiation, because il would make negotiation a
matter of grave practical import, which, in view of
the continuance Of joint occupation, it has never
been before. We have advocated the notice also as
the best preventive ofwar, because the joint
pancy can, in view Of the present population of
Oregon, no longer be regarded as safe solution of
the question. We have pointed again and again
to the more pacific tone of the British government
under the presentment Of this new element in the
negotiation, not proof that England is in fright,
or is in any way to be frightened into concession;
but as proof that the prudent statesmanship of
England, and the humane dread of the evils of war;
both to England and ourselves, now beginning,
they may we'll begin, under the circumstances, to
produce their legitimate effect in the counses Of
the British cabinet and the spirit Of the British Par
lament We have insisted, moreover, that for the
due enforcement Of these pacific influences,
for the due moral effect of our negotiations and
for their practical etRciency,aaniniiy among our
selves is altogether Indispensable,

writing, as the sof-spoken Times is pleased to al
lege then indeed we have in our measure done mis-
chief But if it be irritating for to talk of una
nimity, and il the Times makes this charge
against US, how will the "sadng journa" skilful
it may be in its logic, reconcile its own acts with
such an opinioni In the very same article in which
the Times censures our tone so freely, il flares in
our faces the declaration that English unaninity in
this very question is immense and unparalleled.
Few instances" says shave occurred in the his
tory Of nations, Of people more completely and
unanimously resolved than we are now TO maintain
the rights we have long possessed and enjoyed"
"No indifference" it adds, "no division Of opinion,
ne hesitation to the course it may be necessary to
pursue, exist at all in England. We are confident
that the unanimity would be absolute" ''Nobody
will hesitate TO give the the whole support Of our
national power and our individual might, If it be
forced upon us by the presumption, the e1orbitanl
demands, and the decisions of the opposite party"
