ENGLAND AND THE UNITED STATES.
we repeat most emphatcaIIy that the only
line of conduct to be feared by England ia the
plausbities involved in the Iaisser ailer system.

1t is the right policy for America. Ii was so
from the first. 1t was only exceptonable on the
score OF It's being unintelligible. When first pro-
nolgated. the feelings of the people and the pre-
ijudices of the people were against il. The Nnr,b

have engendered commercial interests-that ia
another.
The true appreciation of the apparently pacific
position of Eng land has engendsred a valuation of
the chances of war. MS well as of the bessinps of
peace-this is the ,hird and best point. One
with another, these elements in American caIcu
lation are beginning to make Mr.. Calhoun. intel
ligible, even in Ohio and Missouri.
The only policy formidable to England is Mr..
Calhoun's; and 1t is formidable simply because il
encourages the natural noEclalance of Great Brt

company so strong that it consists of the STRONGER

OREGON.
! The article in the last number Of the Quarterly
Review, on the subject of Oregon, is beginning 10
attract attention, now that the bubbub, arising
out Of the Indian victories is fast subsiding. The
gist Of the article is to promote compromise.
