OREGON IREATY.-There can he but

is the construction put upon the treaty by

Consequently that Government cannot,

the view in which it regards lis provisions,
which construction is assented to by the

affords, the best explanation of the com

attempt, afterwards by one nation to de-
part from that construction would be a
lisgracelul fraud which should be resisted

Besides, the construction given the

the fair and properone. The treaty gives
the Hudson Bay Company and persons

treaty no where contemplates any other
