THE EXECUTIVE JOURNAL, AND THE ORE
CON DOCUMENTS.
The Union of Saturday night contains the
proceedings of the Senate, in executive session,
on the Oregon treaty, with portion of the
correspondence between Mr.. Buchanan and
Mr. McLane. The correspondence is too
lengthy fer our limited space, but the follow
ing editorial from the Union, referring to the
documents, contains all that is new or of i'm
portance to the public:
1t appears that the President would not have
proposed the compromise of the last year, if he
had not conceived himself under some oblga-
ton to respect the propositions of his predeCes-
Sors; and that as soon as it was declined by MIR.
Pakenham, he determined never to make ST.
milar offer again. He strongly recommended
the notice to be given by Congress, and indeed
this was the leading circumstance which
prompted Great Britain to make us another Of
fer. 1t was this movement and the proposition
to which the notice led, that have produced the
final settlement of this long litgated question
1t appears from these documents, which we saw
this day for the first time, that, as far back as
December last, the President had determined
to lay before the Senate (hs constitutional ad-
visers) any proposition which Great Britain
might make, that would admit of being laid be-
fore the Senate, but that he was unwilling 10
take less than our full claim. The offer of
Great Britain was made i'll consequence Of the
notice; and that offer he submitted, as he had
determined, to the Amusement of the Senate.
They advised him to take it., and in conse-
quence Of it, the convention is now made, which
Is so well calculated to preserve the peace of
these two great nations. The President had
determined never TO yield the permanent navi-
cation Of the Columbia to Geat Britain; and
by the convention il is confined TO the Hudson
Bay Company, and those who trade with them,
| and that only for limited time, as appears
from the letter of Mr.. Buchanan to Mr.. Nc
Lane, instructing him to communicate this in
depreciation of the convention of Lord Aber-
deem
The yeas and nays, on the confirmation of
the Treaty, as given in the official proceedings,
are the same as we published at the time the
vote was taken.
NORTH CAROLINA ELECTION. The election
in this State last week, was for Governor and
members Of the legislature, on which will de-
yolVe the choice Of two U. S. Senators. By

county, is 225, gain since 1914 of 76 votes.

Pasquotank 800, a loss of lI6, One precinct in
Camden gives a wing majority ofSo2. North
ampton is reported to have given an increased
wing majority. The wing majority in the
State in 1914, exceeded 5000. The Old North
State says:
Ehringhaus, the Wing cand date for the SEN
ate is elected by an overwhelming majority of
1872, being Sc majority in this, and 76 majority
in Perouimans. 7. Skinner, the candidate for
the Commons, is elected by 1873 majority in
Perquimans. John Barnard, the Wing cand-
date goes out of Camden into Currituck, 1871
ahead of Shaw, and if the vote is the same as
the last time, he is certainly elected

Chowan. Graham has about 10 mai

800 majority
IEpIAKA ELECTION. The election in this
State was for Governor and members of the
Legislature. Whtcomb, the present incum-
bent, was the democratic, and Marshall the
wing candidate for G Governor. The State Jour
nal, (Chapman's) democratic pape, says:
From the few returns received none of them
official, however, we confess that we are of
opinion that the Wings have elected their Gov
ernor, and perhaps a majority of the Legsla-
iure. Not enough has been heard from, how
ever, TO form any correct opinion.
Uuion county is Wing by 90 majority. Ran
! dnlph is Wing, majority unknown. Wayne is
Wing by near 500 majority.
! In these counties (Union and Wayue) Whit
comb loses 100 votes compared with the cleo
ton of lS43, and gains 500 compared with the
Presidential election Of 1874
In this Congressional District, composed of
Wayne, Union, Fayette and Henry, there will
be no Democratic representatives, and Mar
shall's majority will be about l,l00. Bigger,
IN ls43 was about nine hundred. Whitcomb's
loss, 200
