Orsgon-Free 1rade-A wetc Revolution upon the
Carpet, &C., &c.
II the news by the Hbernia should confirm the
favorable symptoms of repeal of the corn. laws,
there will be an entire revolution in the division of
parties upon the Oregon question. The compromise
party will become the administration party-the
Walker party, tho reduction of the tariff party-ln
tact, the democratic party, and even Gen. Cass and
Mr.. Allen, will be brought 10 terms
The recent action OF the whig convention in
Connecticut upon the Oregon question confirms the
deep laid plan we surmised, Of Mr. Adams, in his
unequivocal and otherwise mysterious position upon
the disputed territory dispute
The motion oil Mr. Allen, which will be made
on Friday next, pursuant to his notification in the
Senate to-day, to renew the effort to introduce into
the Senate his resolutions against foreign lnterfer
ence In the affairs OF this continent will lead, per-
haps,to trifing debate, and ascomplete defeat of
the proposition, should it be admitted upon the
ground OF courtesy, as the honorable Chairman on
Foreign Relations could desire.
We renew our declaration that perseverance,
in hispropositon will but strengthen the position of
Mr.. Calhoun, and establish the sagacity-the fore
sight-the statesman-hke views OF our International
affairs, as regarded by the great Carolinian.
The election OF Mr.. Calhoun to the Senate will
therefore, probably result in the preservation OF the
peace, in the escape from a national bank ma
tional debt, national pension list, and national
batch OF military heroes-in the reduction OF the
tariff, in great market and good prices for our
surplus produce, IN our continued onward progress
In the arts, sciences, wealth. population, territory,
honor and moral influence, and In the triumphant
vindication OF the claims OF Mr. Calhoun to the Pre-
s!dency as the bravest Of the brave" the great
pilot in the dark hour and through the breakers by
which we are now surrounded God send us a
happy deliverance
The House, to-day, were engaged in the Florida
contested election. The discussion may be con-
tinued for day or two, in expectation Of the con-
elusive news anticipated by the Boston steamer
The question now arises, il there should be a
compromise spon the Oregon boundary, (say the
Line OF oynns H.ssnS @ with wit
firm the compact? We unhesitaiingy affirm that
they will, provided the commercial reciprocity is
an inscparabe article to the preservation Of the
peace; and, should there be deficit Of two thirds,
from the wilful p~rnacity OF the wings to the per
petuiy of the tariff of 1872 and upon the prospect
bank, then bill, as in the case of the annexaou
OF Texas, will clinch the business most trump
anty.
We are on the very verge OF great party con-
centration around Mr.. Calhoun, and if England is
pronltiOus, the war men must succumb
We are informed that the Cablnet the President
at the head OF them, are delighted at the present
pect OF affairs at the fair prospect of open ports,
profitable trade revenue tdut, sub treasury, the
graduation Of the public lands, a railroad to TIE Pa
cifc, the ultimate purchase Of orna, and the
honorable vindicr ton OF pea
The clamor for war, like tn howl a pack oil
wolves, has ceased with the dawa o. " and the
white banner of peace, with its sparkling stars Of
glory. is now the object of all eyes, and the desre
OF all hearts.
The intelligent million who read the Herald day
by day, will yet accredt our fidelity OF perception
in our series of letters upon International affairs
since the opening OF Congress.
In order TO an easy coercion of Mexico to terms
of good behaviour and honest dealings, we must
preserve the peace with England In the event OF
war; her ports, guarded by British steamers, will be
the depots Of the privateers and pirates Of all
tons preying upon our commerce-whlle through
her borders an Anglo-Me invasion will fall
upon Texas like devouring fire. Furthermore, In
the present family understanding between Louis
Philippe and Queen Victoria, how easy TO bring
France into the coalition against u.s. with the under
standing that Bourbon shall succeed Herrera, Pa
redes, Arista, ct i'd on,ne genus. These are form-
dable considerations in the premises, and by no
means apocryphal.
The two Texan Senators, who are expected here
within month, will take their places in the Senate,
the firm champions OF Mr.. Calhoun.
The aboltionists and wings will be circumvented,
and Mr.. Allen and Gen. Cass Qf England is reason
able) will wonder at their nearsighted views of the
issues of war and peace. Respectfully,
The Doctor.
