According to the senator from Kentueky-and
We honestly believe in the true philosophy OF the
questionable notice is the true conservative prin-
cipe Of future peace between the two countries.
The cry is gone forth, however that the friends OF
the notice are the war men, whilst It's opponents are
the peace men. We utterly reject such dis'ine-
ton. II the people of this country desire peace,
land who does not desire an honorable peaee') We
ought to adopt the notice resolutions. Those who
are for adopting plain, direct, and manly form OF
notice are in our humble conception the true friends
of peace II is the best and most decided measure for
adjusting the controversy and finally preserving the
smicabe relations Of the two countries. Delay only
aultples the danger. A border war in Oregon will
involve the two countries in general war. Clashng
Jurisdictions the same territory will produce this
collison-collision brings war. Tell not the peo-
pie, then, that notice is war, and delay is peace.
The very reverse of the proposition holds good.
He is the wisest friend Of peace who is in favor Of
bold yet conciliatory languags-of notice with as
little qualification possisle-who, without offend.
ing England by the violence Of counses, would
show her that we are not afraid Of asserting our
rights-who seeks peace, and yet resorts to proper
precautionary measures for conducting contingent
war.
A free press dares to address at this moment a
free people, with every respect for the constituted
auhortes-with great Difference for the representa-
tiyss Of the States and the representatives Of the
people, but with firm impression that nothing is
more necessary to preserve the blessings of our posi-
tion-nothing we'll calculated to peace,
as well as cur rights and our honor as the bold de-
| cded measures which the President recommends in
approved. We regard those as the truest friends
| Of peace, who employ bold yet conciatory Ian
guage-who pursue the wise and direct policy, that
embraces notice, preparation, jurisdiction over Ore
gon, and an emigration beyond the Rocky noun
tans. These measures the only weapons that
can preserve peace; whilst delay, hesitation CONT
nued vacation, and constant lookout for return
ing steamers will invite the indifference, if not the
contempt, of England. Again and again we ask,
what nation upon her knees, ever gained her rights
from Great Britain
We shall continue the discussion on Monday.
