The Oregon Question In England.
From Wilmers Times. May 81
Yesterday, the important intelligence came to
hand that the Senate, after weeks discussion,
had come TO a division on the Oregon notice. The
subject is too comprehensive in its featu res, too
pregnant in its consequences, regards the peace
the world, not to excite the most marked atten-
" leaders" on II, in which the present and future
bearings OF this new move clearly and gra-
| phically pointed out. Our American readers will
| be struck with the cool and digifed tone which
Pcrvades these articles. As pieces Of composition,
they will command attenton-as expostons OF
peace, respect The notice is not viewed in belli-
gerent spirit; and il will not be the fault Of the
people on this side Of the water, if it should SUBJ
sequenty partake Of that jaundiced ingredient.
One of the blessings Of free press is, that every
great public question is argued and put in 50 many
| shapes, that the popular mind is mperceptbly led
| t. appreciate its merits, and made acquainted
with all its difficulties. Public opinion is thus
ripe when the time for action has arrived and no
statesman can calculate upon that support, which
is necessary to his official existence rs the air
is to his corporeal vitality without basng his mea-
sures on Just and comprehensive policy
Viewed in this light, Mr.. Folks alluson, in his
inaugural address, to the Oregon, will do good.
The manner in which he took up the question,
directed the attention not only of the two govern
ments most immediately interested, but of the
whole world to its importance I; and some pro-
gress has been already made, and is making,
towards pacific soluton.Y
Six months ago fears of n rupture with the
United States were general. Now they have dis
appeared. Fot the least commoton was visible
Yesterday, when il became known that the Sem
ate had passed the resolution for giving the notice,
and, as we have intimated in another column, il
had no visible effect on the cotton or any other
market This is most gratifying. We are now
in the second act Of the Oregon drama, under Mr..
Folks management-may the concluding one be
as satisfactory and pacific
We have inserted below the leading article in
the Times of yesterday on the subject, to which
those who take an interest in the theme will direct
their attention
From the London Times, May 81
The resolutions authorizing the President of the
United States to give notice for the termination of
the Oregon Convention of 1927, have now, we
announced yesterday received the sanction Of the
Senate by majority of 40 to IA votes. Nine
weeks Of continuous debate may be supposed to
have exhausted the most sturdy powers oil Parlia-
mentary endurance and, from the Senators of
Massachusetts to the newly arrived representative
OF the State of Texas, not a member Of the sedate
assembly seems to have let this important topic
pass in silence. The doubts and difficulties which
are commonly confined to a Cabinet on questions
of this nature have here been extended to spe-
cies Of popular assembly, and aggravated by pub
iicity and party spirit. But the result has

In spite of the length Of time during which we
the clear certainty of the result of the discussion
the unanimity which we may be said to have
rived at in both countries as to the expediency
and necessity Of putting an end to the doubtful
with which we desired that this preliminary step
should be taken, in order that the defnitive nego
tiation might be promptly resumed, II cannot be
doubted that the solemn act OF the American
Government, which is about to assign term to
one of the most important territorial conventions
existing between Great Britain and the United
States, must be considerable, and may become
a momentous event. In America the debates
on this subjec; have almost exclusively mo-
nopolized the time of the Legislature and the
attention OF the public since the commence
ment Of the session Of Congress. In this country
Parliament and the nation have been content 10
wait the course of events, and TO leave untouched
by premature controversy one of the most i'm
portant functions Of the Executive Government,
and one of the highest prerogatives OF the Crown.
But, IN spite Of the excessive discussion to which
the Oregon territory has given rise on the other
side of the Atlantic, and the extreme reserve
which has hitherto been maintained on this, there
is at bottom the same deep and earnest hope in
both countries that Ibis question will be amicably
settled, and we trust there is equal resolution
in the Governments OF both countries TO make
every excrtion, consistent with their true interests
and honor to terminate the controversy. 1t is in
