TIE OREGON TREATY.
BY some means orotherthe Philadelphia North
American has obIainedand published what IS gen
orally supposed TO be an authentic and literal CO.
py of the Oregon Treaty, as ratified by the SEN
ate. With the Treaty itself the North Amerl-
can publishes the message of the President in
submitting the question to the Senate, and the cor
respondenco which transpired between Mr.. Nc
Lane and Mr.. Buchanan in reference TO a final
arrangement. By this correspondence we learn
that Mr.. McIane and Lord Aberdeen had a con-
sultation before the proposition which has been
accepted was sent 10 this country. Mr.. McLane
says he had not given the proposition his counte-
nance, and he had not encouraged a hope Of It's
acceptance. lie further stated that twas not 10
be considered the ulGmatum of Great Britain.
This renders a little more singular the course
Of MIR. Polk in so hastily submitting The matter TO
the Senate. We can only account for il on the
supposition that he felt alarmed lest Great Britain
should break ground against us while the Difficult
lywas most threatening and formidable with Mex
leo. He had gone beyond the bounds of pru-
dence and truth and he feared the consequences
of that error lie fastened, therefore, TO retrieve
that error and thought to throw the responsible
" on the Senate. lie deems himself justified IN
submitting the matter TO the Senate by the past
practices of the Executive Department. His
/ own views he said had undergone no change, but
/ if the Senate advised the acceptance Of the pro-
position bv majority of two-thirds he would ac-
cept it. If this advice and responsibility was
declined by the Senate, he should reject 1t.
| We shall give the message tomorrow. Be-
low will be found the treaty itself Mr.. McLane
seems to suppose that the right to the navigation
of the Columbia, by the Hudson Bay Company,
is perpetual. On the other hand it is said that
Mr. Packenham gave it as his conviction that no
such thing was implied, before the Senate consen-
ted to the Treaty:

tv the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great

for the future welfare of both countries, that the
