HON. 7. II. BAYLY.

Mr.. Editor If there are any who do not, as
yet, comprehend, but desire to understand in all
It's bearings, the Oregon Question. | beg leave
To refer all such 10 the masterly speech of Judge
Bayly, delivered in the House of Representatives
January 81, 1916.
In the space of some dozen or fifteen pages he
has compressed every important fact, necessary
to The calculation of this complicated question,
and from the data exhibited, has reasoned the
whole subject so clearly, forcibly, and conclusive
ly that none who read can fail to find themselves
introduced to the whole merits of the question
1t is. in fine, an argument worthy of its dislin-
guished author, and of the SO Mother of States and
statesmen"
If the power of the argument is surpassed in
any thing, it is in the vein of lofty sentiment and
statesman-like views. which runs through the
production. It's proud defiance in particular, of
mere party considerations, and indignant seOrn of
party taunt, are worthy of the ancient renown
and better days of Virginia. Read the follow
ing for example
g But, sir, such of us as belong to the Re-
publican party, have been told that the Presi-
dent recommended the giving of this Notice.
and that such of refuse 10 vote for it, are
abandoning the Administration. This is purely
a party view of the subject which | scorn.-
The President has referred the whole subject
to US as CO ordinate Department of the Gov
eminent, and we will act unworthy of ourselves
If, In dlsposng of it, we are Influenced by any
other consideration than the dictates of our own
judgment"
Can you, Mr.. Editor, better occupy few
columns OF your paper than by giving this pro-
duction to your readers?

HAMPTON, Feb. 90, 1876.

In reply to the last query of our correspondent,
we would answer, that we have been equally
struck with the powerful argument, lucid exposi-
ton, and manly speech of Mr.. Bayly, and have
anxously desired to place it in columns, but
its length, our circumscribed limits, and yet lin
tied patronage, with crowd of subjects of great
local interest, have prevented us from following
the bent of our inclna tlon-but we hope, ere
long, to be placed in circumstances when we can
do justice to our friends, and crafty our own
desires. VIII our correspondent look to our ap
peal in to-day's paper, and aid us by extending
the circulation of our papers in his neighbor-
borhood ?-Editor.
