The Union grows devotional and crowns what
would have been quite sufficient FOR an apotheosis,
if Mr.. Polk were not still in mundane existence
with the following climax
''And fortunate has it been for the Republic,
that, at a crisis like the present,-thai, at one Of
those epochs by which Providence appears spe.
cially to mark in the book of time the fate of ma
tlons, and the approach Of great changes in hu-
man affairs, we have an administration whose
duty and whose will, concur in that course
of policy which is best calculated TO promote the
interests of the country, and of the great cause of
civil and religious liberty throughout the world -
Very astonishing Is the Union seriousl Has
Providence at last given a President in the per.
son Of Mr.. Polk, just Sat of those epochs by
which Providence appears specially to mark in
the book Of time the fate Of nations, and the ap
proach of great changes IN human affairs!" We
ought to be very thankful, and we hope we are
submissive; but unless the Union will vaticinate a
little further and will tell us when the "epoch of
great changes" is to occur shall be at a loss to
discover the precise pertinence of Mr.. Polk to the
occasion. Is it the Oregon businessl or does the
Union have reference to the Resolution Of Sena.
tor Levy, for the acquisition Of Florida If that
be it, Providence has signally baked Mr.. Polk Of
the great epoch" by the sudden withdrawal OF
the resolution.
But not TO be nice about the source from which
Mr.. Polk came 1--WE have no reference here to
Duck River we take it as another marvel of these
"epochs of great changes" that we have Presi.
dent in Mr.. Polk, "whose duty and whose will,
in that course of policy which is best cal.

We are still more astonished Mr. Folks will

Mr.. Polk is a marvellous proper man, and the
Organ is a marvellous proper Organ. to have
discovered so laudable trait in Mr.. Folks cha.

RICHMOND DAILY WING.
Voluntary from the Public "Orsan. -
MONDAY MORNING. JANUARY 5. Is.e.

y
The Government, or rather Mr.. Folks paper,
utters Pnan on the first day of the year-a
sort OF grand burst of music, by way of what the
musicians call voluntary" to the great head and
front of Democracy for the time being. We
admire its music; there is no squeak, no
drawing Of melodious praise to the source of ali
power, the President. 1t gives no faint or ''uncer
tain sound" but il pours forth one tremendous
g,ish OF adulation that would be overpowering to
any other ear than the one that recognizes in it
nothing but the bargained quantity and quality OF
hired music, and eats it accordingly. In plain
words, the Union comes up to the bond. Ii pays
the bond not only, but is prodigal Of pay for the
position IT has attained. Ii common
terms Of laudation. IL scorns every thing medi-
ocre. in the way of appreciation, but in that mock
heroic style of inflated verbiage so peculiarly the
property of the Editor of the Union, il lavishes
upon Mr.. Polk, metaphor, climax and hyperbole,
with so unbounded flourish, and so promiscuous
tumble, that one might readily conclude, the
Union was guilty of covert sarcasm.
But from our past observation of the unma,ch.
ed capability for fulsome adulation of the Editor
Of the L Mon, we are bound to believe that he is
in downright earnest; beside, we are to make
sohe aiio"A"Ces ioi 'he growing C"PaS'S ro' ue-
tecting the Lords anointed, which among other
things. is characteristic at least, Of the leaders of
progressive democracy; and we must no, be sur |
prised that the Union finds every Democratic Pre-
sldent is taller by head-Purer by whole con.
science, wiser by lifetime, than any of his pre-
decessors: Shall not the Democracy progress in
their Presidents. well in their principles
Or shall they not at least have the privilege of
in swelling Rhodomoutade, the pre-
eminent superiority of every last elected hero of

American Republican and Baltimore daily clipper. [volume] (Baltimore, Md.) 1844-1846, 1846-02-09

ON the above principle 10 SOM, friendly sovo
reign or state.
This the undersigned believes 10 be Tie
course usually followed in such cases; ii is tia,
which has already been res0rled 10 by the tV o
governments, land more than onco.) But
there may be other forms Of arbitration, per
haps more agreeable to the government Of the
United States.
There might be, for instance, a mixed COM
mission, with IN umpire appointed by common
consent; or there might be board, composed
Of the most distinguished civilians and iursts
of the time, appointed in such manner as
should bring all pending questions to he deci-
sion Of the most enlightened, impartial, and
independent minds.
In the present position OF affairs, aud feeling
how much the interests Of both counties require
an early as well as an aniCabIc and satisfactory
adjustment Of existing difficulties, the under
signed earnestly invites the Secretary Of State
to take the subject Of this note into considera-
ton, with view TO such an arrangement on
the principle Of arbitration as may seem to the
government of the United States to be most
Just, wise, and expedient.
The undersigned takes advantage of this OPP
portunity to renew TO the Hon, James Buchan-
an the assurance Of his hiGh consideration.
r. PAKENtlAM.
To the Hon. JAMES BUCHANAN, sc. &c. sc.
American Republican and Baltimore daily clipper. [volume] (Baltimore, Md.) 1844-1846, 1846-02-09

The British government do not propose Ia
refer to arbitration the question of the title to
the Oregon territory, claimed by the two pow
ors, respectively. 1t is proposition to refer to
Il friendly sovereign or State, merely the parti-
Loa or ''equitable division" of that territory
between the parties. 1t assumes the fact that
the title Of Great Britain to portion of the
territory is valid, and thus takes for granted
the very question in dispute. Under this pro-
position, the very terms Of the submission
would contain an express Acknowledgement of
the right OF Great Britain to portion of the
territory, and would necessarily preclude the
United States from claiming the whole before
the arbitrator. This, too, in the face oil the
note Of the Undersigned to Mr. Pakenham OF
the 30th August last, by which the President
had asserted, in the most solemn form, the IT,
tie of the United States to the whole territory.
Even if there were not other conclusive rea-
sons for declining the proposition, this alone
would be deemed sufficient by the President.
The President heartily concurS with the Brit
ish government in their regret that all attempts
to settle the Oregon question by negotiation
have hitherto failed. He cannot, however,
concur with that government in the opinion
that resort to arbitration, and especially on
the terms proposed would be followed by hap
pier consequences On the contrary, he be-
liovos that any attempt to refer this question to
third power, would only involve it in new
difficulties.
In declining this proposition, the President
refers to the sentiment expressed in the note Of
the undersigned of the 30th August last, to
which allusion has already been made, that he
'chershes the hope that this ong-pending con-
troversy may yet be finally adjusted in such a
manner as not to disturb the peace, or inter-
rupt the harmony now so happily subsisting
between the two nations"
The undersigned avals himself of this occa-
sion to renew to Mr.. Pakenham assurances Of
his distinguished consideration.
JAMES BUCHANAN.
Right Hon. RICHARD PAKENHAM, sc. &c. sc.
