NEW YEARS DAY.

A truce to politics, for a moment, gentle
reader. This is not fitting hour for rant
ing controversy, or vain boastings, or still
vainer speculations. Let the oblivious cur
tains fall, to-day, upon every feeling which
would conflict with the universally and pu-
rity of the sentiment awe are brethren p
Time has, as it were, paused for moment
on his swift wings, to give us space for a
transient retrospect and to renew our oft
broken resolves for better life. Let that
space be passed as becometh the thoughtful
and the wise. IT'S the "sweet sabbath OF
the year,"-a day which should be devoted
to high CONCENTRATIONS, TO deeds of charity
and ,benevolence.

OREGON AND MR.. CALHOUN.
The Washington correspondent Of the N
Y. Commercial, gives the following shape
to the recent movements in that city, con-
Meeting Mr.. Calhoun with the Oregon
question:
"Mr. Calhoun, seeking peace in the spir-
it of peace, has interposed his offices with
success, between the British Minister and
MIR. Buchanan. The negotiation is not re-
sumed, but, what amounts to the same
thing, measures are taken for its renewal
at a future time, after, hearing farther from
the British Government.
The prosI ect is, that the British Govern
ment will renew the negotiation on the ba-
sis Of the 49th parallel of latitude.
Through MIR. Calhoun's address, confer
enccs were held yesterday and to-day be-
tween the leading Wing and the leading
Loco Foco members of both Houses of Con
gress on the subject, at which the following
conclusions were reached, viz:
/. That there. should be no war until
compromise and arbitration were exhaust
ed.
2. That no rash measures should pass
Congress. 49,.
3. That Mr.. Douglass Joint Resolutions
assigned for Tuesday, January 9th, should
be postponed.
may add, that Mr.. Webster's informa-
ton is, that the British Government will
accept the offer of compromise made by Mr.
Polk.
Mr. Bates, the American banker in Lon
don, has expressed that opinion"
