OREGON---INTRIGUE TO DEFEAT
THE HOUSE " NOTICE"--COALI-
TION OF A CAUCUS TO FORCE
THE ADMINISTRATION TO A
COMPROMISE, UNDERSTANDING
WITH THE BRITISH MINISTER
THE ADMINISTRAT TION IN DANGER
TIME FOR THE COUNTRY TO
REALIZE THE CRISIS,
While the people of the United States
gratifed with the fulfillment Of their wishes
in the passage of the resolutions of " notice"
by the House, have for weeks reposed in
perfect security, fattering themselves, in tn
midst Of their various occupations and pur-
suits of life, that the action of the lower
branch would, in good time, be responded
to fayorably by the upper, system of in
trigue has been progressing in the seat of
Government, between the two phases of
Oregon opponents, which but few have been
aware Of, and which, if known to the people,
would excite tempest of indignation and
arouse public feeling to an intense pitch of
excitement.
A deliberate game has been played,
through the secret intrigues Of CAUCUS,
in which perfect understanding was had
between few anti-Oregon Democrats and
the whig portion of the Senate, with some
Western members for an exception, to COM
pei the Administration into compromise
with Great Britain, by defeating the House
notice, as it came to the Senate, and substi-
:uting for it a conditional one, in which the
responsibility Of giving notice was to be con-
ferred upon the President, but with this dis
cretionary power binding him, by specific
clause, ,offurther " negotiation, which should
result in the settlement Of the dispute by
" compromise" In other and clearer words,
the understanding is, to pass the resolutions
Of Mr. Colquitt, of Georgia, which are as
follows.
Resolred, That notice be given, in terms
of the treaty, for abrogating the convention
made between Great Britain and the United
States on the twentieth of October, eighteen
hundred and eighteen and continued by the
convention of eighteen hundred and twenty
seven, Immediately after she close of the
Congress, unless the President, in his dis
cretion, shall consider it expedent to defer
it 10 later period.
Resolped, That it is earnestly desired that
the long standing controversy, settling limits
in the Oregon territory, be speedily settled
by negotatiation and compromise, in order
to tranquilze the public mind, and to pre-
serve the friendly relations of the two coun-
tries.
This substitute for the resolutions of the
House, which, while they instructed the
President to give the notice, without speci-
flying the time in which he should act, but
which action was intended to be without
delay, and at the same time while admitting
the question TO further negotiation, emphati
cally, by the circumstances of theradoptien
forbade compromise, and instructed the Ad
ministraton against it; this substitute, we
say, was the bantling of secret intrigue
was TO be passed through the Senate with
as little delay as could be avoided; and witt
the speed of locomotives and British steam
ers was to be despatched to the Lords ant
Commons of England, as an earnest of the
pacific policy of the people of the United
States, and their apowed intention by the
use of the compromise" phrase to concedt
to the British power portion of territory
which the American Executive had pro
claimed TO the world was ours by a title
clear and unquestionable," and to which
the mover of the substitute himself had sait
the claim of the United States was thu
strongest.
AT that particular crisis it did not succeed
/ They who we're pledged TO it did not al
fstand up to their ommittal-and, instead 0
being despatched tothe care of the Britis
steamer at Boston, then just ready TO embark
an adjournment delayed it TO future day
Since then, mere complete understanding
has been effected. Caucus meetings hav
been held, the principle Of action laid down
rotes counted, and the success of the resolu
.ions, in anticipation of the final action, cor
II fidently counted on. But, what is more as
tonishing, and showing how false-hearte
some Of our American Senators are, Will
seemingly contending for the interests G
their country and the welfare of its people
how traitorous they dare be in secret col
Illusions with our hereditary enemy--all thes
