Oregon.

We give. on the first page Of to.,lays paper
few Of the opening speeches Of the intensely ln'
teresting debate that was going on in the lower
house Of congress at latest dates on the Oregon
question. We are persuaded we coa,d lay moth
ing more acceptable before the mass Of our read.
cru. The speech Of Judge Douglass Is to the
point, and pointed 1t gives the south very
clear intimation Of what they ersy expect at the
hands Of the great west if they be,ray us on The
Oregon question, after we have stood by them sO
firmly for Texas. Blu, the most important speech
is that Of Mr.. Adams. The 'od man eloquent,
twill be seoo, !. for the whole Of Oresou-eve-
ry'nch Of ,--and fully sus,ains president Polk
in every ron. on ,hislgrsas question. The spr-
il of crsuchins to the British lion, which has SO
long distinguished the federalism Of Massachu-
settle, and was 50 prominent in Wcbstcr's re.
cent speech at Fanueii Hall, is spurned by Mr..
Adams, AMI he dares to speak and think as an
American. So far as the house is concerned
we have no fears for Oregon. Blu, in the senait
thc.sspeci is different. The stand taken by Cal
hsun, who will be followed we fear by too many
southern members, Is full Of imminence 10 the
true interests and the honor Of our country. From
the high position Mr.. Calhoun has hitherto uni
ior mly taken ON all questions Of fore'gn relations,
the country expected better ,hingsof him. Yet
there are many others iithe senate who are true,

Ne'o Mode Of Makiag BWier.-The
following Is from the London co.respon.
Gence Of The Boston Alias:
A new discovery has recently been
made, which think i, right to mention,
as 1t may be perhaps adopted in America
with advantage. 1t is rather a curious
idea, certainly, for bishop to become n
patent butter maker. but So it is. The
right reverend father in God, the Lord
Bishop of Derry, has discovered that the
old process Of churning may be done
away with. He sends stream of atmos-
pheric air through the cream, and the OK.
ygen of the atmosphere thus coming in
contact with it, speedily converts it into
butter, Of better quality and with less
labor than by the old process. Eleven
gallons of cream, on one occasion, pro-
duced twenty-six pounds of butter. This
mode of making butter is now becoming
general. and perhaps some of your agri-
cultural readers may take The hint.
