 Is there one that will read and will not synpathise..in in that which follows Not one England would grasp the rights which are ours; France, as much as we love her, IS act- ing through monarch, who is old and cares only for himself and his immediate dynasty; Russia is in some measure in opposition to our interest, or at least may think herself so. To whom can VIC submit for arbitration, SO vital a question as that of.ou right to Oregon? Were it now submitted to some monarch and decided against us, would our people bear 1t? As an act of National faith and honor, they would but they would as an act of justice, feel bound to sacrifice epery public man, who had led the way to 1t, how ever distinguished or patriotic; because the people should hold Aem responsible, not only for their patriotism, but for their acisdons and just judgment. It IS this, that has caused Republics always to triumph in war and prosper in peace; it Is this which won in the field of Marathon and triumphed in the American Revolution.
 Up5h these principles we leave our Seua- tor to be judged by other States. This State he has never deceived, by false impression of his own acts or his own importance, and we now endorse him, loo proud, to be guilty of the like 10 the balance of the world. His letter expresses the spirit of our people, Whilst we would not in gratuity, wound the feelings of the Emperor of Russia, or the people of France, we as Americans, feel our selves, tte equal feaher and would not lawn upon, or truckle to either, though we had England at defiance.

And th following extract of letter, which we hve received by the Hiber- mia, from highly espectable quarter, speaks sufficiently the feelings oi our countrymen in Europe: On'o1.
 "LoNDoN, Jan. s.
 "Tho Presidents message is to all of us abroad, without rqard to varying shades of political opinion, md in national point of view, a source ofhnalloyed satisfaction, and high patriotic priCs. He has done his eoun- try the great servre of procuring for her that fair hearing in thehigh court of Christendom which no other nan could obtain. We are now rcctus m cuja, and have given the world a reason fer efath in us."
 In the same spirit writes one of the most distinguished' men in Pennsylvania on SGt- mday last:
 q rejoice tIatthe news brought out last by the steamer, which asyet have only caug Int a glimpse of in the fst little extra issued by the Philadelphia Ledger, seems so favorable to us. If we can have peace on honorable terms, and with our present President, all have guarantee thatwe shall have it on no other, l soberly thinl that his message, en- larged, and just, but at the same time bold, as history will surely call it, will win for hIs country benefits, an for himself fame, such as may stand in advance of almost any since the days of Washington.

 AMERICAN CONSUL AT LIyERPooL.-Nll- H. mef s, Smiths Times says;
 s'We wish that the American government had always been, and might hereafter be, as well represented as it is by General Arm strong. All who have business with him, and their name is legion, speak we'll of his amenity of manner, and the promptitude with which he discharges the duties of his office. And he is not content with attending merely to thc official round of duty, but his active mind is ever bent upon some project which has in view the advantage of the merchant, the master, or the sailor, and above all the interests oi his ountry at large. In express ing these sentiments, we know that we utter the prevailing feeling of those of our owa countrymen of every grade who have the pleasure of q personal acquaintance with Gen aral Armstrong. And whatever changes may take place in the political aspects of the Uni- ted States, we are sure that she will never furnish better officer than the present Amcri- can consul at Liverpool"

Cass for his speech made on the ocea- sion of introducing the resolutions inquirng into the state of our national detenccs.- These interruptions prints, il will be recol- Iected, represented Nr.

THE SCIENCE OF MEDICINE.

The influence of this part ot science, may be rendered highly beneficial to mankind, by the means which 1t affords us of alleyiating the diseases incidental to our nature. Eve ry person of humanity and benevolence, must sincerely wish to lessen, or entirely remove the miseries of his fellow creatures. We are all subject 10 disease, and self love prompts us to search for remedies. Persons must always feel themselves in state of de- pcndence on the one to whom they commit their lives, as a physician. Indeed, the great responsibility he takes upon himself, who offers his services as a healer i'll the medical science, who nine times out of ten, leaves the patient, il he should live, in worse health, and perhaps diseased, for lhe remainder ot his days. The general effect which physl- cians produce upon society Is extremely de- trimental This class of men Is by far the most ignorant of all the learned departments of society, which seems to arise, chiefly from this cause-that ignorance in this profession is seldom if ever liable 10 detection. The abilities and knowledge of the lawyer, must he displayed before, and can be appreciated, by thousands. The solemn divine, holding forth before the most stupid aad ignorant oI the community, or the most intelligent oi our christian bodies, mustat least find something to say; but the physician can stagger on from one degree Of ignorance and stupidity to another, and preserve al the same time the esteem and venera'ion both of the ignorant and the enlightened, who, in the present state of society, are equally capabe of appreclat- irg bis merits-'.ne tree shall be known by its fruit 5.

Louis Philippe to arbiirate the Oregon ques- lion between the United States and Great Brit

Louis Philippe to arbitrate the Oregon ques- lion between the United States and Great Brit ain.
 There had been time, before had prop erlv reflected upon 1t, when was willing that an ancient and sleadiast friend, the Em- pcror of Russia, should arbitrate this Oregon controversy. For, after all, he Is probably the only monarch in Europe, entirely free of the influences of Great Britain. Upon any other question than that of territory, aud that territory contiguous to his own, could most cheerfully and confidently trust him. But, he not only desires to retain what he has, but to extend his possessions He doubtless loves us, but 1t is at distance. should fear, from my opinions of the man, that he would not altogether relish the whislling of Yankee Doodle, on the line of 54 40-or hear, with very great pleasure, some of our learned, travelling Yankees, reading to his loyal subjects upon the Pacific, Paine's Com mon Sense" or some other learned lectures upon the Rights of man.
 The above is substantially, and as far as my memory goes, literally, what said, upon the subject of arbitration, and about Louis Philippe, Nicholas and Tom Paine.

 must here close for to-day, not without saying, Oregon abounds in singular extsemes, furnishing, in my humble opinion, some of the finest districts of country on earth, but much more of little beauty or worth; the largest growth of timber, while, as whole, it is sparsely timbered; little variety, and all of the eastern portion of stunted growth.
 But of tn Willamette and Umpqua valley, a district of country capable of sustaining wei! several millions of inhabitants, it will be found, holds forth as many and strong in- ducements to emigrants, either as to agricuI- nre, herding, manufacturing, or for conner cal purposes, as any part of our wide do- main.
