The jJnt Of the Oregon by British aud Amer
ong ger Judged ex pedient Partition re-
commended and desired. On what principles ought that
be madei Evidently those OF equal benefit
and advantage In cur view of the the Amer
having exclusive right Of sovereignty cannot our
ebow-subecs will nor drive them 10
whatever corner OF the Oregon they choose the
claiming for themselves credit for fobeaance They
have both equal right disputed terrorya right
arising from occupation Yearly identical in similar
in purpose. And greater share ol land accord
ed than the other. this award be made
recognition right but OF those considerations which tho
proximity, numbers and abors OF American settlers
Introduce in the adjustment Of
dspu,e-consderations which, in all such important
1t is impossible merge in the tsehnic Of
the mnu,ie Of utle.
But the award Of territorial district may be mod fed
these considerations care must be taken that no such
modification be carried the positive deprivation;
and that though the British settlers may lose the super.
fetal OF their area yet that they shall not
lose Of those collateral advantages which absolute
B indispensable for the prosecution Of their uade-such
the great water privilege Of the Columbia and harbor
Al Its mouth Now, in what way this partition be made
to these advantages and the time 10
give to the only all that they may de
mand the right Of their all which their
numbers aud proximity entle them An equal liuc Of
partition would be continuation from the Rocky Noun
tains, not OF that line which has already been xed
the commencement of the boundary, but Of line de-
to the south OF drawn the southern cape
outlet Of Juan de Fuca's Straits This would nearly
II Is possible, be the divisional line OF the disputed district
aud would give greater of coast land the north
than we claim. But the 49th parallel OF nOrh a
ude having already been 6xed by the Convention OF Lon
don as the commencement OF the boundary such vision
Is OF out OF the question. We only show
that starting point OF perfect equality. As
the matter already stands previous ratified
certain principle Of concession We have not claimed
all that the circumstances Of and the ambiguity Of
night would have justified us in claiming. And knowing
this, ieel that bound by our duty To our own
resident in those t ptoest an,
wanton careless compromise their interests w. are
not solictous to push right its point We
therefore, will claim for Them nor for ourselves that
csPacious district between the southeast bank Of the Co
lumbia and the Rocky Mountains. We coneede ths-we
concede 1t because prefer settlement to a ling aion
