of "national character as compared
with the precious metals, will be very
edifying to the creditors of Michigan.

Arkansas, another insolvent western

bullying that has secured for her the

msy opinion, hes all her strength
Now she must be forced to recede; and
like any Of our western bullios, who,
when once conquered, can be kicked
by every body, from one end of the
country to the other. England will,
in case she does not recede from her
position on this question, receive once
more that salutary lesson which we
have on more than one occasion alrea-

Yes; that there would be no lodging
on the Oregon, question; that there

apprehension of war here last year
but of war with Mexico instead Of
Great Britain; and they had found
men brave, and furious in their brave

England and France, who now had an
awful horror in prospect Of a war with
Great Britain. He Mr.. d. had felt
pretty brave last year with reference to
Mexico and her alies,a and he felt equal
" so now. He believed if we wished
to avoid war upon this Oregon ques-
ton, the only way we could avoid it
was preparing to give them the best
fight we had on hand. The contest
would be bloodless one; we should a.
void war, for the reason thai Great
Britain knows too well, il she had war
about Oregon, farewell to her Canada"
