would alter the face OF nations In less than five
years.
From this brief view Of the position and princ-

that unless the Oregon controversy 10 settled during

They number eight or ten IN the Senate, and are
between fifty and sixty in the House. They GO for
the whole OF Oregon, down to 81 40, without COM
damages to be paid to England. They are the rep
resentatlves OF that portion Of the country which
passes tor the popular and energetic Anglo-Saxon
race In Its highest state ofperfection large portion
OF this population is TO be found in New England and
western New York, and in the northwestern States
In the event OF war, they entertain the idea OF
covering the northern lakes with war steamers and
invading Canada with 90 600 rifles, and settling this
question IN lsss than sixty days. Simultaneous

down to Halifax and capture that naval depot stimuli

the war spirit could be raised in the northern and
western States, and Of the best troops IN the
world could be precipitated upon the British Colo

This new movement, therefore, it 1t should be
brought out by Congress-, comprehends most ex-
traordinary and general revolution throughout the
nations of Europe, as well the settlement of the
Oregon question; and also the question to the
tervenon OF European nations in the affairs OF thif
continent, which a war would determine. It is ex.
pected that such war; in less than five years. would
give us all the British Provinces on the Atlantic
with Oregon, and leave opportunity in time "a
acquire California, and then to settle our affairs
with Mexico; besides renewing on grand scale
the principles Of the French revolution in all the
western monarchies Of Europe.
Animated with these magnificent and terrible
views, do not believe the war party in Congress
will recede. They are yet in a minority; but il
they will influence the President, in the White
House, to adopt their views and protract in conse

ton, after this session. they may reach position
in the country which nothing can affect We are,
therefore, in one of the most interesting POSITIONS
and turning points, not Of any one nation, but in
the family OF nations, and verify believe that the
peace OF the whole world depends and hangs upon
the settlement Of this Oregon question.

There is split-a decided split The Baltimore
Convention is developing now Its results. Mr. Hay

conclusions, reduced to plain Saxon, are these -
That the President is anxious for a compromise
upon the line Of 49-that the notice will facilitate
this settlement-that the clamor for "a 40 is the
movement Of set Of very small men, ambitious Of
very high places-that Allen, the Chairman on Fo-
reign Relations, has not the confidence OF the
mlttee and ought to quit i-that the resolutions Of
the Baltimore Convention, are mere stuff and that
the leaders of the 81 40 DIVISION are set OF arrant
demagogues, worthy only OF scorn and contempt
that in reading Calhoun and Benton, and Wright
and Buchanan cut of the party, the 81 40 clique
not being another man left fit for the succession

WASHINGTON March D, loAo
There is some talk here about case which came
before the u s. District Court Of Pennsylvania a
short time since, in connection with which the
Vice President falls in tor a share OF the blame.
It is as follows: Mexican Buchanan, Purser in the
Navy laid Ia, as usual, his stock Of goods, amount.
ing to some $4,000 or $4,000, with money ad-
vanced by the government During the stay of the
ship at one Of the ports in the Pacific, complaints
were made by the authorities Of the place that goods
were smugged shore by sailors of the ship, and,
upon investigation, it was confessed by some OF the
crew that they had taken shore several pieces Of
silk handkerchiefs furnished them by the Purser
This, upon being charged with it, Mr.. Buchanan
denied but, upon taking an Inventory. OF his
remaining stock, forty GRITTY pieces OF silk hand
kerchefs were ascertained TO have been disposed
Of in this manner BY the regulations of the service
Pursers were authorised to charge commission OF
90 per cent on articles Of luxury furnished to the
sailors 70 per c.nt on another class OF goods, and
classed handkerchiefs as luxures, and charged his
% per cent for what he would sell for four or hve
per CT on shore The captain, after suitable repr-
mand OF practise 80 unjust to the sailor and detr-
mental to our national character, IN making our
ships ofwar the OF violating the revenue laws
Of friendly nation, issued a regulation CHASING
handkerchiefs as articles of clothing, liable TO
commission OF 10. per cent only. This regulation

the settlement Of the Purser's accounts, il was
found he had overdrawn some ten or twelve thou
sand dollars. Suit was instituted in the Eastern
up variety OF claims as an offset. The principal
Item Of which was the difference between 50 per
cent and 10 per cent on goods furnished TO the
sailors, which he said he had been unjusty deprived
OF. Upon the being sent to the jury, verdict
was rendered in Mr.. Buchanan's favor tor Sl1,OOO.
One OF the most singular features Of the case was,
that the leading counsel Of the defendant against
a claim Of the government, was George M. Dali
las, the Vice President Of United States, ana
component part OF the government ITSELF
This, at least, was Of very questionable pro-
priety Exceptions were taken to the verdict,
and Il was generally supposed an appeal would be
taken 10 lhs Supreme Court, but believe it has not
yet been docketed. There were several caucuses
