JOHN a. ADAMa AND OREGON.

JOHN g. ADAMS AND OREGON
DIR. Adamsain the House on Friday last.
Che Cd inst. came ons in direc. opposition to
most of:bis personal and political friends, and
in a speech of somelength, advocated the pro-
priety of giving the years notice TO Great Bril-
Etainimmediaiely.L This might have been ex-
.pecied. from the position which Mr.. Adams
assumed last winter. Mr.. Adams goes for
the whole of the Oregon Territory and urges
upon Congress the political necessity of being
prompt ln;giving the notice. He objects to
any military measures being adopted, until we
have first complied with that section Of the
Convention o.. 1897, which provides that eth.
er party 10 the Convention may. at any time,
give notice Of the termination Of The joint oc-
cqpancy. Mr.. Adams, in the course of his re-
marks, observed that it was his solemn cor
Eviction that, should this course be pursued,
war with England would not ensue-that En-
gland knew too well that such war would
forever sever from her the Canadas. 1t was
with difficulty that the Speaker could preserve
order, such was the disposition to applaud
Mr.. Adams, whilst delivering this speech.

This atlas was purchased in Liverpool in

tons in this country, this atlas is without date;

fact that the boundary line between the ,Brit-
ish and Russian possessions is stated in the

Now when we reflect that This atlas was pub

ration about the effects of cold and frost upon tho
sugar crop. We have said nothing ON this SUBJ
ject heretofore. But we feel authorized to affirm,
that much less damage has been done by the frost
than was unprecedented. The planters, taught by
experience. have taken precautions to save their
crop, and cut the cane before the appearance Of
the frost, and In this manner have ayerted tho
damage that threaL,ned them. =,

WASH NGroN CITY, Jan. 2, 1876.

The Oregon fever burst forth in the House
Of Representatives this morning upon a ques.
ton having no connection with the subject,
and ragged until the hour Of adjournment.-
Without intending to forestall your pHbiica-
ton Of the debate, must sketch out the pro-
ceedings and remarks on the OCCASION which
created an intense excitement, altho' in point
of fact they amounted to little, and are princi-
paly of interest, because the views Of John
Quincy Adams were expressed somewhat at
length, and the depth Of feeling in the House
upon the subject was so instantaneously, as it
were, made apparent.
Mr.. HARRISON reported bill from the Com
mittee on Military Affairs to provide for the
raising. a:ming and equpping two additional
rifle regiments, and moved its consideration
in the Committee Of the Whole on Tuesday
next. This proposition was induced solely
by she wants ofthe peace establishment, " hich,
in the opinion Of the committee, should be in
creased, as our Notifications on the Western
frontier and Atlantic coast are left unprotected
| by the necessary Withdrawal Of the troops for
service in Texas. Mr.. Houston of Alab una,
opposed the motion to set apart any particular
day for Il Q consideration of the bill, on the
ground that the business of the House would
be embarrassed thereby. He thought such
action was becoming too common, and tina,
as two-thirds vote was required to lay over
business thus made ''a special .order,' it fire.
quently happened that subjects Of much more
importance. incidentally arising. were slight.
ed to the injury of the public service.
MIR. HARRISON again arose and went into a
detailed explanation of the purpose of the bill
He declared, that its Importance at the present
moment justified the committee 10 asking such
disposition of it; and that he had selected tina,
day in order 10 avoid interfering with the Ore

THE "NEW BOOKS"

During the campaign of 1910, Mr.. Daniel
Webster. the great wing leader. proclaimed
that # his patty came into power. set Of
''new books" would be opened in the depart-

would give place TO regularity
and economy. We have taken some pains to
examine the old democratic and the new whig
books, and can now speak of the evidence
they afford of the fulflment Of whig promises.

By this table, it will be seen that the ''new
books" show an increase Of the public debt
during the late administration of 8 10, 363,717
80. That debt, as it existed when the wings
came into power, consisted of$326.966 25 of
the balance of old debts, mostly revolutionary
and unclaimed: $l,440,0O0 of the debts of
Washington, Georgetown, and Alexandra, as
sumed by Congress during General Jackson's
administration; and 81, 68O,62I 40 contracted
under Mr.. Van Buren's-growing ont ofthe
Florida war, and the fulfIliag Of Indian trea-,
Hence it will be seen that the wing ''new
books" show we have national debt Of about
EIGHTEEN MILLIONS or DOLLARS, more than TEN
MILLIONS of which constituie one of the lega-
cies of the late wing administration. Wing
promises of retrenchment and economy end in
millions ofdebt. I'hisI Is the manner in which
the democracy predicted they would fulfil their
boastful Undertakings They proposed, du-
ring the previous campaign. to reduce Our an.
nual expenditures to thirteen millions ofdollars,
and relieve Us from all debt and unnecessary
taxation. But Mr.. Webs.er's IS new books"
show that they increased our expenses and
our taxes by the unequal and unjust tariff Of
1912, andhave left the peopleto struggle with
heavy national debt. We~are happy now
to be able to state that the present administra-
ton has already paid about. one million and a
quarter Of the principal and interest Of this
WING debt, and that il is fully prepared to pay
every dollar as it sl,alL fall due.7 While tho
most rigid economy is p,actsed, and the great
est possible viv'lance il used to project the
treasury from frand. the officers of the Treasu.

months notice called for therein. He was so
strongly in favor of the strict observance of
national engagements, whether treaties or con-
ventions,J that he should feel constrained to
oppose all the propositions before alluded to,
mill the notice was officially. given, which
should precede all other movements. He ex-
pressed belief that the Committee on For
eign Affairs did not intend to repori in favor
of the abrogation of the convention; such was
the public impression, at least. .-...
Mr.. Charles ]. lngerscll (the Chairman Of
that Commiitee) enquIred by what authority
he arrived at the conclusion that such course
was determined on by the Committee. He
felt assured it had not eu,anated from the Com.
mittee themselves, and also denied that any
one was authorized TO say what they would
or would not do on the subject. ..ss
Mr. Adams continued--saying.t that if they
(the Commi,tee) did notr report speedily. he
should conclude there was good ground for the
common rumor as 10 their determination. AS
for himself, he would vote for giving the no.
tice, instanfer that such course did not ne
cessarily draw wag in its train; and that he
did not believe that war would arise out of
the controversy, take whatever shape it might.
However, il hostilities should result from Civ
ing the notice, the onus would undoubtedly
rest on the shoulders ofBritain, whose rulers
could have no possible right to take offence
at our terminating the convention in the man
ner expressly provided therein for the pur-
pose. He expressed a willingness to 60
