The northern galaxy. [volume] (Middlebury, Vt.) 1844-1848, 1846-03-10

knowing, they incline 10 an opposite direc-
ton, and advise an immediate and extensive
system OF reparation-predicatod uion the
indications abroad, and what he considers
the purposes at home, He comedies that
England is ready and anxious 10 adjust
this dispute-but Rerer will consent 10 90 IL
except on terms of horurable and mutual
surrender. Taking il for granted that our
government will never relinquish the navi-
CATION of the Columbia, and having ascer-
tanned that Great Britain will not agree 10
settlement without the admission, he is EN-
barrassed 20 discover how The question is 10
be closed while both parties continue 10 clash
as 10 this particular and specific point. MI
McLane also regards that the large aug
mentation OF The military and naval forces,
which have been recommended 10 ParlIa-
ment, and which will be appropriated Tor to
the full extent, have no other reference than
10 the lamentable contingencies Which, may
proceed from the want Of liberal spirit IN
framing a compromise. Take it altogether,
the prospect al this time, is more gloomy
and lowering than il has been at any mo-
ment during the negotiations. The raining
and braggadocio of the Administration and
its charming organ, has at length reused The
people of GreatBritain 10 full sense OF their
duty and dignity. Though naturally slow
10 act, and still more repugnant 10 collision
with the United States than almost any 9th
er civilized Government, from the reclpre-
cal interests which are involved, as well as
from our mutual sympathy in language aud
laws, and The progress Of Chrisilhnlfy-silli
there is point at which forbearanee ceases
to be virtue, with an Engishman, as well
with our own countrymen. They have been
stimulated, and almost driven, TO that condI-
lion, by the insulting taunts of those in pow
Grand by the reckless bullyism Of the Jour-
nal which Immediately represents their SEN
iiments. Throughout her whole history,
England has never stood so much hard cui-
fing; and her moderation only increased
The indigniiies which were daily issued
through the "Union." She has nog assum-
ed her position, and will be driven from II
Only by force superior 10 the rawlings oil
demagogue.
Private intelligence has been received
from higher quarter in England stating
that the rejection of The first offer ofarbitra-
lion, ~had been communicated TO the Minis
try before the sailing of the Cambria-and
that il caused profound sensation in the Of
fetal circles. Through the same source, il
is learned that the Earl oil Aberdeen expes-
sed himself in very decided Terms, as 10 The
posture of affairs, and in reference TO the
course of the United States. Lord John
Russell and Sir Robert Peel declared that
this Government held in its hands the fate OF
the settlement; but there could be no hope
ufsuch result while it determined 10 resist
every appearance Of and approach to, COM
promise. Other advices, from an important
source and one entitled 10 every consi6era-
ton and respect, signify that the British
mind is resolved against an absolute aban-
dsnment of their claims in Oregon, and that
il would be worse than madness, upon our
part, 10 frame legislation looking 10 any such
surrender.
Mr., Pakenham did not receive authority
-, fhe Cambria, 10 submit new proposal 10
our Government, in consequence, it is per
sumed, ofthe intelligence of the rejection o.
al biiration. This Ministry preferred 10 m
derstand The course OF the President on the
&st offer, without presenting any other
