of peace-the treaty of honorable comprom-
ise has passed the Senate. A more remark

Within the last four years, the two ques-
tons, which more than any others within
the present generation, have threatened the
peace Of the United States and Great Britain
have been brought to peaceful honorable,
and satisfactory adjustment, through the a.
9nncy nj Wing Statesmen, and the sound
Conservatism Of our political policy. To Mr.
Webster more Than to any other man in the
United States, nigh, hi.h propriety say al
most solely 10 his eSerllons, is the country
indebted for the settlement ofthe North Eas
tern boundary, which, for forty years, had
disturbed the diplomatic intercourse Of the
two nations. Those who have watched the
progress OF this Oregon controversy, must
know that his mighty arm has been tower
OF strength, in staying tho calamiiies which
the recklessness Of this administration at one
time threatened; and that his voice checked
the violence Of the people Of two continents,
and brought them to that reflection which
should guide their deliberations at such a
crisis. The co. operation OF Mr. Criiiendsn,
and others, in shaping the form of Notice, a.
galnst the dictaiion Of the Executive and his
organs in the two Houses. contributed con.
slderably To the final result
/ Thus, dunng The close Of one administra.
ton, and in the first year Of another, has
Wing statesmenship saved the country from
the horrors OF war, and restored relations OF
friendship and confidence between two coun-
,ries, whose interest and policy il ia to pre-
serve peace, at almost any reasonable sacIi-
G.e. II is remarkable fact, IN the history
al our Government, that the Wing party.
whelhe IN OF out OF power, have always ex-
ercised controlling Influence in directing
the foreign affairs OF the country.
