be shorter by two thousand miles from California,
across TO New Orleans, than from Astona TO st.
Louis. BY general assent, the 49th parallel is now
consideIsd, among the Psape, az the Oregon boun-
dary prospectively; and, asserting to the pauslbi-
lIty OF Mr Buchanan,s idea, that the whole terri
tory Of Oregon, from the inevitable laws OF political
progreAs, must IN few short years, come
under the rule OF annexation. the administration
must esteem the alternative of war; for the immedi-
ate acquisition, as an unmtlgated absurdlty.
We consider that the Baltimore resolutions, IN
securing the election OF Polk and Dallas, effected
their office-that we have almost "got a receipt in
full'' for compromise In the choice of so good a
President and that further adherence TO a mere
abstract declaration for the sake OF consistency at
the hazard OF the unity OF the party and the ascen
dancy OF It's principles (aside from other consdera-
tlons), will be abandoned by the administration, in
a recurrence TO the 49th degree and the temporary
downward navigation OF the Columbia TO the ad-
verse party.
The great difficulty with the President, is the d.
visions In the household party. If he stands at 81
No. he ofiends the South-if he recedes TO 40, he m
curs the Indignation OF the West He stands still.
Tie IS awaiting some charitable Interpostlon TO re-
lease his hands, It is folly think that he would
wantoniy abandon the advantages OF continued an
nexations on the South, by memorable stand upon
the arctic line OF 81 l0 however "irreiraglble" his
" facts and arguments"
There will be no war upon the Oregon question
and the 49h degree will be the boundary, until by
the inevitable tendency OF republican principles"
we shall assume the dominion OF the whole terri
terry, and the whole continent.
Regarding current movements, counter move-
ments, caucuses and speculauons, our associates
will more specifically advise you.
Among the special dlnHers of the last week, there
were at the St. Charles Hotel, dinner by Messrs
Winthrop and Grlnnell dinner by Mr. Barrow |;
a dinner by Messrs. Bedinger and Chapman OF
Virginia; dinner by Mr.. T. Butler King, of
Georgia; dinner by Mr.. Pippin, Of the British
Royal Engineers; a dinner by Mr.. La Sere, of
louisiana; and dinner by the Mayor, Col w. w
