OregOn--Arbitration

On the 9Th inst. the President of the United
States transmitted 10 the House of Representa-
tiyes a Message, communicating the correspond
ence between Mr.. Packenhum and Mr.. Bucha.
nan, which took place since the meeting of Con-
gIess. A very brief synopsis of this correspond
ence will be found below The proposition Of
the British plenipu,entary TO submit the Oregon
controversy 10 Arbitration, has been very proper
ly rejected by our Secretary of State. There is
not crowned head in the universe that would
do Justice to the claims Of the United Srates-
The proposition is wholly inexpedienl and mad
missible. An outraged people would instantly
lrown with indignation upon such an attempt tC
coverly barter away their righlGm possessions
The federal press of this country will, as a mat
ter of course endeavor to make capital out of The
refusal OF our government TO submit 10 arbra
ton, because that mode OF settling the dispute
would be to the advantage Of their British allies
Indeed, the idea of arbitration originated viii
the notorious J. w. Webb, of the N. Y. Coure
and Enquirer, who was bought up, body ant
breeches, by the U. S. Bank. Every honest viii!
editor will be ashamed 10 be caught in sucl
company and viii promptly refuse 10 second
proposition so inqutous.

T,he Black Laws.

We have published The debate which took

law OF 1904, relating 70 coloed people, al con
siderable length. 1t viii be seen that i was
mainly confined 10 wing members; Messrs.
PnELps and RANDALL advocating the repeal OF
the law, with great power; while MIR. STANLEY,
also wing, was equally strong on the other side.
MIR. Finn also spoke against repeal. How our
whig friends IN the Reserve, will relish the loss
of lie bill, we cannot say. 1t lay with that
party TO dispose Of il as they pleased, as they
have almost lwo-thirds of the House, and just
thfee-dlths Of the Senate.--Statesmaa, Feb. 10.

0I~The course pursued BY the members Of
Congress fom South Carolina on the Oregon
question, is to be much regretted. We have not
the slightest faith IN the political integrity Of
John c.. Calhoun. His views are selfish, con-
tracted and liboral. lie worships South Caro-
lima, but despises the rest of the Union He is
democrat Just when It suits South Carolina
that he should be one, but generally he has been
the worst enemy the democracy have had in the
country. r. Blrnwell Rheu and Isaac E
Holmes, Alexander L. Sims, and the other mem.
bers from that state, who call themselves demo
Gratis, are the pitifu tools Of Calhoun, and obey
his mandates on all occasions. As a matter Of
course these worthless have spoken and voted a
gainst the resolution giving notice to Great Br
tain of the termination of the treaty ofjoint occu
pancy. Had Oregon been filed with slave
population, the South Carolina representatives
would have fought for it in blood to their very
knees, before Great Britain should have it! Sucl

a large party Of ladies' and gentlemen assembled at
the st. Charles Hotel, in New Orleans, on the even
ing of the 9th ult. The Delta says: "The brave
were there as well the fair, and there met for the
first time since they fought in deadly conflict, Don
Romulo Dias de Ia Vega, the Mexican general who
was taken prisoner in the battle Of Resaca de la
Palma, and Col. Payne, who was wounded in the
same fight with several other United States officers,
whose names we did not learn. The meeting be-
tween these two brave soldiers-General La Vega
and Colonel Payne-was one of cordial greeting
and kindly interchange Of compliments. The
general expressed his regret to the colonel at seeing
that he was wounded, and INDUCED the hope that
he would shortly recover from the effects OF it.
The colonel thanked him for his sympathy, and
congratulated him in having escaped a similar in
Fiction. He trusted that he would find his resi-
dence in the United States agreeable as circum
stances would admit Of. He assured him that his
gallsnry was appreciated by the officers Of the Uni
ted States army and by the citizens Of the United
Staes. The conversation then became general.
General La Vega--who, we should state, was ac-
companied by his aid-de-camp, Colonel Msrtinez-
paid some very pretty compliments, during the
evening, to American ladies' The FIRE Of their eyes,
he said was more fatal to the heart than even the

would feel no regret at having to surrender to them

evening passed of most sgreeably.--Phiiadsiphi
