ia:hnife with his teeth, or had been en-
deavnrng to eat green rersimmon.-
Why. he has made himself The laughing
stock Of The whole rommunily by lus
attempts 10 place himself before Mr. Polk
Without intending pun. we rall u,
Ihrusting. himself li,,le ahead of his
party and all creation. when shis question
is only mentioned. One would think
from perusal of his articles that he
thought the power Of declaring war and
Of humbing Great Britain were concen.
irated within himself and thai HE Gazette
was the only true exponent Of what
should be done in The matter. He has
seemed io enjoy himself SO much in firing
Of his sqnib>, and our knowing that they
were seuibs and could therefore do no
possible harm to any body. we have felt
quite repugnance al breaking in upon
his self cempl4cency and destroying his
editorial ely>ium. But even squibs may
sometimes become annoying, especially
when thrown by an unskllful hand among
the crowd. We therefore caution our
very dear friend. the City Solici.or-he
loves 10 be called City Solicitor to be
careful how he throws, or he may scnrch
some Of his own party. In his last mum.
Der he catechises and scods us like az old
granny, in relation to this subject. 1t
would CRAFTY him amazingly. we have no
doubi,lf we would come out and make our
selves as ridiculous as he has made himself
in his braggadocia abouiOregon. Butas we
do not think Mr. Polk CT his Cabine, needs
any Of our advice, and as we think the
question can be settled either for peace or
war without our Interference, and knowing
the Solicitors saying we are for this or
that does not make it so, we choose To
keep him in suspense awhile longer
We will however close by saying that we
hope for an honorable peace-we want no
other-bui ,f war should come-which
may heaven avert-we will try and be
found battling as faithfully for ts success
ful termination on the side Of our country.

Many seem inclined to think that the
rejection Of the offer on the par, of our
government 10 arbiirale in the matter oi
the Oregon question, may lead to serieus
difficulties. They think this has closed
all avenues TO future settlement. We are
not entirely of this opinion. The same
proposition was made to Mr. Calhoun,
while he was Secretary Of Stale by Mir
Packenham on The 5,h January Of last
year. and on the 2ls, of the same month
Mr. Calhoun. under instructions from the
President, rejected the offer in as definite
terms as has Mr. Buchanan. So that the
refusal TO arbilrale al tina, time did moi pGl

IMPORTANT FROM WASHINGTON
THE NOTICE GIVEN.


The Debate IN the House Of Represent.
auves closed on the 9th last. Nearly
two months have been occupied in
speechmaFlng on The various forms in
which This question has presented itself
10 the House. The whole action was fl.
nally concentrated on the Resolutions 10
give Great Britain the twelve months
notice. These we're so modified as 10
make them as concllia,nry as possible,
and on Monday the Oh inst. after SEES.
sion of nearly eight hours they passed by
an overwhelming majority Of one hundred
and nine Uoies The House was full,
there being but four members absent, and
the vote stood, yeas l63, nays ST. The
resolutions are as follows:--
Resolred, Tina, The President Of The
United States cause notice to be given 10
the Government Of Great Britain, that
the Convention between the u. States Of
America and Grea, Britain in relation TO
the Territory Of the Northwest Coast
west of Ike Stony or Rocky Mountains,
OF the sixth dav Of August, 1897. signed
at London. shall be annul!ed and abrogat
ed twelve months after giving said notice.
ReSo/Ued. That the notce herein con.
,alned. is not intended To interfere with
The right and discretion OF The proper an.
thori'ies 81 the Two contracting parties TO
renew or pursue negotiations for an ami
cable settlement Of the controversy re
speeding the Oregon territory.
We have though, from the commence.
ment Of this Oregon excitement until
now. that all the trouble which threatens
us might have been easily avoided, if in.
stead Of making il such prominent, aues-
iion our leading politicians had attended
to other domestic matters and in the
meantime permitted emigration to flow
on into Oregon until, like Texas, they
felt strong enough to set up FOR them
selves. Two years would have brought,
tina, time abou.-the question would have
presented dIfferen. aspect-the settlers
would have gained faothold from which
they could not be ousied- and the Terri.
tory would have been acknowledged to be
theirs wihou, much opposition from any
quarter. The order Of destiny and nalu-
raj causes. would in this way have inevi-
tahly made Oregon a part and parcel 81
the Uniled States. We are only sorry
that the notice has been given, because ii
may bring on an unnecessary war, with
all its caamiiies. which might easily have
been avoided. Ii will be looked upon By
Great Britain and all Europe as an ag-
gressive step on our part. We do not
so much condemn this final action on the
par. Of The House. as we do the unneces-
sary agitation Of the subject in The first
place. Our government. to say the eas,
of it, has acted very impoli'ic par, in
this matter. II might have gained all in
a quiet and pacific way, which by its i'm.
policy may cost millions of money and
the loss of much blood to accomplish
We do not complain of giving the notice.
After going as far as they have, il seemed
almost necessary. The Union" thinks
The resolutions will pass the Senate, and
so do we. We shall learn in few days.

The following is official 1t shows the ontielpa,

to be more than FIFTY-ONE MILLIONS OF
DOLLARS, of which only about twelve millions
arc for civil expenses, leaving something like
THlRTY-NiNE MILLIONS for the utchery OF

millions, about lliry-cight millions are for the war

very In addition, Polk asked two millions more,
ostensbly to purchase peace; but instead Of get
