THE CANADIAN PRESS ON THE MES
..... SAGE

We have been gratihcd to find in the Toronto
Examiner" some remarks on the Presidents mes
sage, which indicate in very significant manner,
the progress Of liberal principles amongst neigh
bors in Canada. The Examiner" appears to be
fully sensible of the power-lhe fast growing pow
er--of that influence which the example of this con-
federacy is exercising upon the nations Of the Eu
ropean world. The extraordinary spectacle of a
nation extending its dominion-cnlarging its terri
torial Misunderstanding for itself a most COM
handing position amongst the powers of the earth
without war, without bloodshed, without diplomat
&c intrigue-with no other fundamentally but free
institutions, equal laws, and unfettered human eff.
fort, is justly regarded by our Canadian contem-
porsry an one calculated to attract, in a pre-
eminent degree, the admiration of mankind, and
to stimulate the masses who subject to des-
potic or monarchical authority to an adoption
of those glorious principles which, in this west
ern world, have now forced themselves to supe-
rority before which the haughtiest potentates Of
earth have been made to tremble. The EXAMINER
takes a just view of the passages in the message
bearing on the Oregon question. Il does not con-
slider that any barrier has been interposed to the
ultimate amicable adjustment of the questionable
lieves that if should come, the on,s will be on
the head Of Great Britain-and properly speaks
with appreciation of the recommendation of such
measures as were necessary to protect the Ameri
can emigrants in Oregon, it being no invasion
whatever of the terms Of joint occupancy, and not
only Unsuitable act, but an incumbent duty on the
part of this government.
One remark of the Examiner" is 50 significant
that we extrac: it: .af...~ag . ..,- III
unfortunately for the popularity Of war with
the United States in this country the great mass OF
the people know nothing Of our boosted British in
stitutions, but they are in colonial sys-
tenn of government which, so far, has been nothing
but hopeless struggle of the popular will against
system utterly irresponsible and despotic."
This is. indeed, pregnant sentence, and contains
much matter for serious and profitable reflection by
all whom it may concern.

CONGRESSIONAL.


. The Ssnais, after very brief session, occupied by
the presentation Of petitions and other routine bust
ness, adjourned till tomorrow.
In the HOUSE, joiat resolution, whose probable
advent had been minated on Saturday last by MIR.
G. j. Ingersol was reported by him, under instruo-
tons from the Committee on Foreign Affairs, re-
questing the President to give to the British gov
eminent the twelve months notice Of the termina.
ZION of the convention between that government and
the United States in relation to the territory Of Ore
gon. A motion submitted by Mr.. Ingersoll to make
this resolution the special order for the first Monday
in February, and to commit ii TO the Committee OF
the Whole on the state Of the Union, led to re-
newa OF the debate, which, during two days of the
last week, had engrossed the attention of the House,
and which was yet pending at the adjournment on
Saturday. In this way, Mr. Mcdowell, who hsld
the aoor was temporarily disposseased of his right;
which, however, it will be perceived that he was
eessful enough to reclaim.
A counter report, in behalf OF the minority ofthe
Committee on Foreign Affairs, was made by MIR.
G. Davis Itproposes to leave 10 the President the
discretion and tho responsibility Of giving the notice.
and concludes by resolution that the question as
to that notice is not matter for the decision OF
Congress, and that the House refrain at present
from the expression Of any opinion on the subject
The debate was long and animated, and had not
been brought to a close at the time tho House adj
iourned ....' ... ....

THE DEBATE.

The Oregon debate continued to-day in the
House of Representatives. New materials were
thrown into it by the introduction of resolution
reported by Mr. G. J. Ingersoll from the Committee
on Foreign Affairs, in favor of giving the notice to
Great Britain, and by counter report from Mr..
Garrett Davis on behalf of the minority. The de-
bate was then resumed by Mr.. Giddings, of Ohio,
in favor Of the notice. who, harping upon "the one
idea" commended that as we now had conquered
Texas, we must produce balance (of free States)
by the occupation Of Oregon. He was followed by
Mr. Mcdowell, of Ohio, in behalf of the notice,
and by Mr.. Rhett, of South Carolina, in opposi-
ton; and finally by Mr.. Simms, Of Missouri, in
favor of the measure. Mr.. billiard, Of Alabama,
moved the adjournment; who has, consequently,
by parliamentary usage, the floor tomorrow. s
We shall not now touch upon the main question
in the arguments, pro and con; but we cannot pass
over some rumors brought up by Mr.. Rhet,,
in relation to the presidency. Mr.. Preston King
Of New York, struck the first ball on Saturday. I,
was impossible not to foresee the rebound which it
might produce. Mr.. King alluded to some rumors
which had been circulated by the London Times
in relation to Mr. Calhoun. Mr.. Rhett, on his part,
referred to other rumors which he had heard, con-
corning coalition with the West for the purpose Of
operating on the succession. He cited no names We
are satisfied that we express here the decided wish Of
the great body republican party that these au
sions to mere rumors, and these specuatons upon
the succession, should cease altogether. The wings
are chuckling at the prospect of our divisions. 81,
is fun for them, even if do not prove death to u.s.
Who is benefited by these bickerings' The re-
publican. party' BY no means. Does it pro-
mote the aspirations of any individual Far
from it. The very suggestion of these rumors
is calculated to produce any other feeling than the
spirit Of harmony and of union. 1t is most probe-
BILE that they are the mere shadows Of the imsgns-
ton But if there the slightest foundation for
them, they would operate against the interests Of
any man whose friends are weaving these worse
than idle dreams Of ambition. There is no man
living who ia Of so much consequence that the re-
publican party should be split in twain for his
advancement Whom, then, do these secret ru-
mors and these public ordinations and recrimina-
tons, profit The wings alone. This danger alone
ought to be sufficient to recall all our friends to
due sense of forbearance and moderation.

Extract Of letter from North Cerolina, Dec. 81.

"The people in these dggings are delighted with
the patriotic and truly American doctrines promul-
gated by our excellent AMERICAN President in his
message. Both parties, with very few exceptions,
say it breathes the right ENTHUSIASTICALLY on the
Oregon subject. The prevailing sentiment seems to
~ to leave it to John Bull to say whether he will
fight us about it or not

Oregon, &C., in your city, And what the probable
postage would be. were il (if could bo)scnt by
MALI Some Of US want it. and cannot obtain il for
less than ~ SO copy in r aleigh, which we think
too high"
ION inquiry, we are informed that "the price of
the book here is " SO. In pamphlet form, the post
age would be about half dollar. No doubt il
might be franked."l
