have honestly differed. Whatever
may be the justice Of the claim of
Great Britain to any portion Of Ore
gon Territory, it must be acknowl-
edged by the most ultra advocates for
American rights there, that if the past
history ofthe action taken by our gov
upon that question does not directly
acknowledge the justice Of the preten-
sions of England, it at least leaves
room for the inference, that there exists
some doubt as to the exclusive title
ofthe u. States to the whole. The
very terms of the treaty, which it is now
proposed to abrogate, proves that the
subject was not altogether free from
doubt. 1t would be better to yield
or compromise doubtful point than to
go to war to decide it.
Whatever may be the conclusion
to which the Senate shall arrive, in
finally disposing Of the question, as
far as their functions extends, we feel
confident, and sincerely hope that the
decision may be such as to give sat
isfaction to all parties, an9 secure peace
and maintain honor.

THE OREGON DEBATE.

We should judge, from the tone OF
the debate which mas been progressing
in the u. S. Senate, upon the Oregon
Question, for the last month, that it is
not likely that the resolution for giving
notice will be finally disposed of for
some time to come. AS the debate
progresses, new difficulties, growing
out cthe contrariety of sentiment ex-
pressed by the different speakers, seem
to environ the subject. All concur
with the President in the opinion that
the time has arrived when this long,
standing question ought to be settled,
but there are many in the Senate, even
among his political friends, who differ
| very materially with him as to the
manner in which, on the part of the
U. S. Government, it ought to be set
tied: Some, and among them Mr..
Calhoun, believe that the matter can
be settled more equitably to both par
ties, by submitting it to arbitration or
compromise; others believe with the
President, that it is not proper sub
ject of compromise or negotiation, be
cause it will be difficult to select a
suitable and unbiased party to act as
mediator; others again propose to re-
new the proposition which was reject
ed by the British minister, some
months since, with some little modifi-
cation respecting the navigation of the
Columbia river. This proposition, ii
will be remembered, designated the
49th parallel; giving to the British all
the territory North Of that parallel, and
reserving TO the United States. all
South of that line. Mr.. Benton and
Mr.. Webster have both expressed
themselves favorably disposed TO set
tie the question in this way. Those
who go for 'sthe whole of Oregon or
none" are in favor of giving the Brit
.ish Government unqualified notice for
multiplying the existing treaty. The
eyes of the people are now anx'ously
turned to the Senate, with the fond
hope that, Notwithstanding the pres
ent unfavorable aspect Of the question,
the result Of their united councils may
be such as wisdom and prudence, as
well as honor and justice, would sng-
eest. All we'll informed men concur
in the opinion, that the question may
be settled without doing the slightest
injustice to either party, withouta re-
sort to arms, and there are few, we
opine, who would not be willing to
make honorable concession upon a
question involving doubt, and upon
which so many great and wise men

for the Governor General Of Canada,
and also for the governors Of the othef
North American provinces" Mr.
McLan.'s health, il appears, has not
been very good for some time past
The cotton market had slightly impfo-
we'd.
F1RE!-From the constantly ascende
ing volumes of smoke, we peeeiye that
the range of hills running from south
west TO north least, and lying between
Massanut,in and Fort mountains, is on
FIRE at two places. If these fires have
been purposely kindled, as some sup.
pose, fer the purpose Of destroying 'he
leaves, &c., SO that cattle may Craze
there in the summer, we think that
those who do it labor under mistaken
notion. The object they have in view
is in measure defeated. The object
no doubt is TO gettheir cattle upon the
mountains as early as possible. But
i, seems not to enter into the thoughts
of these philosophers, that the under
growth from which cattle derive no
little benefit in the months of April and
May, is almost entirely Destroyed, and
that the grass, if it does not meet with
the same fate, is so far injured by the
FIRE, as 10 afford but comparatively lit
tie sustenaace. Blu; granting the re-
verse of this to be true, we should
think that the vast quantity Of timber
destroyed, and the trouble occasioned by
these fires, ought to restrain men from
such deeds.
