MEssRs. CHAPMANs Wayne county stands Just
where it has for some three or four years past. From
appearances one would suppose there was a lack of
that Democratic zeal that is generally found in the
party. 1t is high time there were a mighty effort
being made here for tie spread of JAcKsoNIAN PRIN-
cIPLEs! There never has been a period of more
favorable a~uspicies, for the promotion of Democracy,
than now exists in this State. The Oregon question
hangs over the nation, speaking to every patriotic
heart in tones that are well understood. Place the
subject before the American people in its true colors,
and have them to make up their minds, free of the
petty intrigues of designing men, and the result would
be a glorious one three-fourths of this mighty
Republic would demand the whole of the OREGON
TERRITORY!
Gov. Whitcomb arrived here on his way to the
capital. with his lady, on the evening of the Doth
ult., and on the 9th partook Of a splendid dinner,
given him by Mr.. d. d. Sloan of the National Hotel.
MIR. S. has acquired a name among the first of liberia,
landlords by the many like services he has rendered
the party, or some of its distinguished men, as occa-
sion required. He should be literally patronized by
every Democrat who may chance TO travel this way.
Yours, &C., II.
I'VE omit a portion of our correspondent letter,
which we have reflected upon for a day or two, be-
cause we do not wish to afford any one the pretert it
might afford them of hypocritically canting about
harmony. &c. &C..

AMERICAN ENcAMPMENT ON THE Rio GRANDE.-lt
was expected that the whole Army of Occupation
would be e~ncamped on the east bank of the Rio Grande
by the Doth ult. The Houston Telegraph of the
18th says:
at was supposed the camp would be pitched near
ly opposite Matamoras, where there is a high bluff
that overlooks the city, and would give the artillery
of the army complete command of the place. This
point has been by a singular oversight of the Next
cans entirely neglected they have expended large
sums to fortify Matamoras, but this bluff, which is
several feet higher than the highest point of the city,
and is also within cannon shot of the public square OF
Matamoras, has been entirely neglected. When
ever this place is fortified, Gen. Taylor could hold it
against even a European force twice as large as his
own. The river renders it inaccessible on the west
and south, and the eastern and northern sides can be
securely fortified by a ditch and embarkment, which
that with half the expense that was incurred at Cor
pus Christi, a camp can be fortified directly within a
cannon shot of Matamoras, that will not only COM
mand that city, but be more secure than the camp at
Corpus Christi.
"The Mexicans appear to be totally unprepared to
defend any portion of the country on the Rio Grande.
Instead of concentrating forces there, as the editor of
that section almost entirely defenceless and 1t is be-
lieved that it would now be impossible for the Mexi-
can Government TO concentrate forces at Matamoras
capable of withstanding even a regiment of American
troops"

Michelet, the great historian of France, has lately
published a volume under the title of The People"
The Paris correspondent of the National Intelligencer
says it is of a complexion and aim entirely democrat
ic. The author embodies the results of his long par
ticular study of the character, habits, conditions,
rights and prospects of the humber classes. In his
preface he sketches his own life from lowly begin
nings and mechanical toll, and concludes with a char
~acteristic passage. "Frenchmen, - he exclaims, of
whatever social position, of whatever party, remem-
Der well one thing you have but one sure thing on
earth, and that is France The coalition of aristoc-
racies subsists; and for them you are still guilty of
the crime of having undertaken, fifty years ago, to
deliver the world they have not p~ardoned you they
will never pardon you you are always in their danger.
You may distinguish each other by party denomina-
tons; but, as Frenchmen, you are condemned alike.
For Europe-mark this-France will never bear
but one inexplicable name-ReuolutiOn."

Oregon.

A friend at Washington, whose opportunities for
forming a correct judgment of the course Of events,
are second to those of few if any, writes to us, under
date of April 9th, In relation to the present and the
probable future aspect of the Oregon question. We
extract from his letter the paragraphs which follow,
and which our readers will peruse with interest:
every Senator's opinion is now known, except
that of Corwin of Ohio, and Anterior of New Hamp-
shire, who are understood to be f~orty-nine men, and
opposed to discussing the title to Oregon on the notice
question, on the score of discretion. Three-fourths
of each house, or Whereabouts, are understood not to
be willing to support the President in a war in de-
fence of Oregon north of forty-nine. All but three
or four in each house will stand by our title to forty
nine, and, if needful, meet a war in defending it.
sowing to the character of the discussions on the
notice question, we, as a nation, have not a single
diplomatic secret. Great Britain knows she can
secure all north of f~orty-nine by treaty, at any time,
and will therefore take her own time TO act. If she
proposes a compromise on forty-nine, it will be ac-
cepted by the President and Senate. Whether the
President will repeat or renew his proposition for an
adjustment on forty-nine, is not known. Probably
he does not know himself, but Will be guided by
coming events. But as he has once proposed forty
nine, and as so large a majority of each house would
FAVOR sucn d propOslton, II Is clear that were that
proposition now to come from Great Britain, it would
be accepted. The strong probability is, that before
the end of the present Congress, March, 1919 the
matter will be adjusted upon forty-nine.
"But if Great Britain should continue to press her
claims to any portion of Oregon south of forty mine,
war must come and in that war, from what is above
stated as to the opinions of Members of Congress, it
is clear that we should be a united people, and conse-
quently strong.
"Unless the matter be adjusted during the present
Congress, 1t is extremely probable that the next
House of Representatives would show a majority
pledged up to ~ffty-four forty.
And give public opinion the necessary time, the
Senate might present a like majority. But as Sem
ators serve six years, this would be the work of
several years.
"If this should happen, the ~ffty-four forty men
will turn out to be right at last.
"Many suppose, with much show of reason, that
Great Britain, being in a state of excellent prepara-
ton, and owing Brother Jonathan a drubbing-to rub
of old scores-is resolved to continue to press her
claims to an unreasonable extent, for the purpose OF
producing a war. If this be the case, we should be
also ready"
"In the present attitude of affairs, preparation for
war would seem to be a solemn duty incumbent on
Congress; and it is to be hoped that the measures
INNER by the President, looking to such pre-
~paration, will be attended to-

The Detroit advertiser relates a very ghocking cas-

The Detroit Advertiser relates a very shocking case
OF seduction and death, or rather two such cases.
The victims were two young and fatherless sisters,
formerly residing at Birmingham, Oakland county,
Mich. but afterwards at the Flint. One was about
20, and the other about 10 years old. They came
finally to Detroit, and took shelter in a respectable
family with a sister. Here, both died in childbed,
one about two weeks ago the other on Saturday week.
The alleged seducer was also formerly resident at Bir-
mingham, but after their situation became too evident,
he removed to parts unknown.

@Webster occupied the Senate on the 9th and
9TH, with a long speech in defence of the Washing
ton treaty of 1912, for the settlement Of the N. E.
Boundary. The first part of the speech was at least
reputable, and gave a very plausible statement in ia
vr of the treaty. On the second day he labored
under a rery peculiar excitement, quite as peculiar as
on a certain occasion when he proclaimed himself a
'Jefersonian democrat" and dared any body to deny
1t 'within reach Of his right arm" The ~invective
of this speech, as the "Union'' observes, "was violent
and impassioned but it wanted the splendidd bids of
the classic poet. 1t was rather the hacking of the
handsaw than the piercing incision of the polished
Damascus. The orator condescended freely to employ
such choice epithets as "thing,' ''crcature, ''the
carricature of mind" &c, which would better grace
any other lips, and any other place, than the lips of a
Senator Of the United States" He compared Inger-
soil, chairman of the Foreign Relations committee in
me House, TO a bar-room politician charged various
Senators and Representatives to be guilty of ''false-
hood, the term ''false' and ''falsehood' over
and over again, and came very near using the term
Ae, which he plainly imputed to two honorable gen.
flemen Of the Congressional body. On the whole his
manner and matter were disgraceful to the Senate,
his constituency and the country.
On the 9Th, an interesting passage-at-arms took
place between Cass and Webster, touching certain
delicate points of international law involved in the
Mcleod case, in which Mr.. Cass had the decided ad.
vantage of Webster, and finally completely silenced
the gentleman.

MEXICO.

Late accou ITS from Mexico states that the archbish-
op OF Mexico Senior Don Manuel Posada Y Garduno,
was preachin g in favor of the monarchical system.
There are alb lut four thousand clergymen and friars
in Mexico, a nd nearly all of them are in favor of a
monarchy.
A reinforce ment of troops has recently left the city
of Mexico fU the CALIFORNIA;.
An officer of engineers, a Lieut.. Colonel Cano, ar
rived in Vera Cruz on the 18th March, for the purpose
Of inspecting the castle of San Juan de Ulloa.
1t has been announced in the city of Mexico, in a
letter from Nj .tamoras, that the American army, I'M
der General Taylor, had arrived at Santa Isabel, ten
leagues from that city and that Gen. Mejia, the
commandant, had hastily united a few troops, and
marched forth determining to attack the enemy
wherever he met him."
1t is also formally communicated to the public in
the capital, LAT the number of United States ships
of war at SacI ifcios is continually increasing.
Tampico pap ers, referred to in those of Mexico, state
that a trustworthy person in Monterey announces
Gen. Vego as having ordered a strong division to
protect Matamoras or any other point which should
be threatened by the enemy. The division was to
march by way of Sirraldo. The $4,000 received
by the army there, it was thought, would help to
augment the forces of this division. The mail had
Just brought the report that a detachment of the Pou-
ton receiving ships Of Santa Isabel and Matamoras,
carried away the custom house officers and the pilots.
to force them to land the American troops from Cor
pus Christi. 1t was officially reported to the COM
mandant of the place that five American vessels of
war were to he at Brazos Santiago and Bocca Chica.
and four hundred men had been sent to protect said
Pouton. The government had ordered all the dispo-
sable troops to march on the menaced points under the
command of Gen. Ampudia, who has issued his pro-
clamation accordingly.
1t appears that Paredes's government has Just con-
tracted with The houses of Serment, Front g. Co., and
G.. dc Drusina & Co., for a loan of S1.SS0,000, to be
applied to the victualling, f%ortifying, etc., of Vera
Cruz and San Juan de Ulloa.
