To A. F. CUNNINeHAM, Esq,
Dear Sir:-I noticed in your paper of the Sd

great question at issue.
The question is now pending, whether The

pred, as the extension was granted to the pa
tenlee and assignees previous 10 the expiration
of fourteen years, under the 18th Section of the
Patent Laws. passed July, 1896, James. G..
Wilson's administrator claims the right Of the
extension, and do the assiSnees the latter
contend that its being extended previous to the
expiration of the fourteen years to have the right
TO the extension, which would otherwise have
been common property. Patentee conveyed to
assignees all that was conveyed to him and tho
act Of SO mentioning sssignees, they claim it
under that act. Yours, &c. tP.J
We give place 10 the above note, but we
acknowledge that we know nothing about the
matter at issue. The article commented upop bv

ARE WE TO HAVE THE WHOLE OF
OREGON OR NONE9,,

That's the question. For our lives we cannot
understand from the Union, what is To be the
hnal upshot of this matter There is most mys-
terlous givings out on this subject but the vibra-
ton of that indcr of Executive determination is
very extraordinary. when it approaches the POINT
OF most absorbing interest, and it flies both sides
OF 1t, with remarkable rapidity. The Union
seems to trust implicitly To the American people,
to support the President in his determination on
the Oregon question. Let us know what that
determination is. We shall most undoubtedly
sustain him, if he goes for the 4" whole of Ore
gon but we cannot permit high Dragging, to
come down TO disgraceiul partition of Oregon,
either by arbitration, or by voluntary giving up
on his part We say maintain our just rights,
and the Administration will be tumphantly
sustained by the American people. Act honestly,
put us in condition TO meet the crisis, and we
will be ready. 1t is useless to disguise the fact
that the Government looks to the probable CON
tingency of war-however it may hope the
contrary-why, then, not prepare for that
tingency In prouf of this we quote the follow
ing paragraph from the Union of Tuesday. The
italics and SMALL CAPITALS are ours -
We may almost declare, with Mr.. c. j. In
gersoll, the chairman of the Committee on For
eign Affairs, in his brilliant and racy speech of
10 day, that there will be no war We repeat,
indeed, what we said in our last paper" For our
own part. we cannot seriously apprehend war
The tone of last English prints il pacific, that of
the English government is concilaury. We will
not believe in the probability of rupture between
the two nations. YET. LET US NOT BE TOO CON
FIDENT. We see nothing in these documents to
change the course of policy of the United States
They would rather contribute to confirm all the

mittee OF the Whole, by large majority, and it's

for a moment, doubt Those who know any
thing of the character Of England, the pecu liar
nature of her institutions, and the basis upon
which her power rests, must see that any conces-
sion from this government. would at once break
the charm Of her invincbiliy, and thus despoil
her of all power and knowing this. as she GER
tainiy does, can it he supposed, that she will
tameIy yield up all claim to any portion of Ore.

1t may be well To pause for moment and en-
qnire, why this fearful state Of things? Is it the
result Of overriding necessity Is it called for
by any consideration Of national interest. or na

MEMORIAL TO CONGRESS-THE BU-
PEArS

We feel gratified in being able to state that at
last there is one thing started in our town that
will unite all parties upon it; and that is the
Memorial of which the following is copy. Ii
will, no doubt, receive the almost unanimous sig =
natures OF our citizens, as it is receiving the sig
natures Of all in the cities north of US. The mol e.
icy which invested the Heads of Bureaus. in the
hands of men who hold permanent saIaried offices,
was wrong and is an outrage upon the principle
of Democratic republican government The OBJ
jects asked for in the Petition are just and right
and can wrong no one, and we hope at an early
day TO be able 10 send up the Memorial to Con
gress with the name Of every man in this vicini
ty upon it. In the language Of friend, we
state that "t the chief object aimed at is To ne
tlllon Congress to confne the duties of those
holding commissions under orr Government, to
the specific object therein set forth, and not To
combine a plurality of Offices in the hands of a
single person. This is an increasing evil under
our Government, and the time had arrived that
some decisive measures should be adopted to pre-
vent such usurpation. Under the Tvs of Con
gress of 1912. recognizing the Navy Department
power is given to the President Of the United
States Of the appointment Of Naval Officers To-
stations which have been heretofore filed by civ
iiians. This we conceive to be contrary To the
spirit Of our Constitution and in this memorial
it calls on Representatives to repeal all sncb
acts. 1t was no doubt the intention Of ibnse Win,
brought the bill for the Te0rganizing of the Navy
Department, that change should be made far
the improvement Of our Navy. But il seems To
have entirely failed, and we have now even a
worse condition Of things than previous to the
present enactment. The law requires that two.
at least, of the Bureaux in that Department shall
be filed by civilians yet the influence which the
Naval Officers possess is So great already. that
these Boresux have been contrary to The law filled
by them. In our Navy we have some yalian,
and brave Officers. Men that would booor aov
service, and in such we should glory. Yet. a,
the same time, the power and usurpation they
possess is entirely foreign to the commission
which they hold"
