TUE ORrOON @ ePrION. Mr. ADAMS
There have Been Various conflicting ru.

Adans vOuldassOme 'Gpon.tRis important
question. On the End inst. all doubts were
removed by a speech which he delivered
Astounding with patriotic sentiments, and
in which he maintained the rigkts 81 no
country, He advocated the policy on the
part of our government of immediately
giving notice to Great Britain of the termi-
nation Of the joint occupancy Of Oregon
at the expiration of twelve months, and de-
clared amidst loud demonstrations Of aP.
proyaI) that "the notice should be follow
ed afterwards by a real occupation Of tbs
6ohele territory" He moreover declared
that should Great Britain regardthe notice
given by our government for the termina-
ton of the joint occupancy as a sufficient
course for declaration of war and com.
mence hostilities, that "we would be but
one party-the sohole country DilI haze 6ut
one heart and one united hama"
I" And of this am very sure, that in that
case Great Britain will not long occupy
Oregon, or any thing else north of the
Canada line. [Great sensation, and inciP.
lent indications of applause. But if you
will agree to give notice, strong as is my
horror for war, and of all military establish

life in me, hope l shall be willing to go
as far as any in making any sacrifice to
render that war successful and glorious. /

The following brief extract from his able
address, affords increased evidence Of the
want Of that preparation on the part Of our
government for defence, which the condi-
ton OF our affairs demands.
awhile we sit here talking about regi-
ments of rihemcn, and regiments of infan-
try, and stockade forts, and sappers and

Although zealOusIy advocating the claims

prove true to the interests Of the people Of

following joint resolution u .ala'aaa'
ResOEced, BY the Senate and House Of
Representatives. Of the ., $. Of america in
Congress assembled, That the President Of
the United States forthwith cause notice to
be given to the Government of Great Bril-
tain, that the Convention between the Uni
ted States and, Great Britain concerning
the Territory of Oregon, ofthe 9th of August
1927, signed at London, shall be annulled
and abrogated twelve months after the ez-
piratiOn Of the said term, conformably to the
Cd article of the said convention Of the 9th
of August, 1927. ~

and minority report received, Mr.. Inger.

made the special order of the day for the

power Of the House to act in the matter;
that IL belonged of right to the President

OREeoN.-Much has been published
respecting the soil and climate of this Ter
ritory, and various opinions have been eE-
pressed in reference to il Many who adj
vOcate the policy of submissively yielding
to the arrogant claims Of Great Britain,
urge that il is too sterile, unProductive
and unimportant TO cause our government
to resort to arms in maintaining its Just ii

may yet be necessary to resort to arms be-

N Wise Recommendation.

Among the many wise and beneficial req
recommendations proposed by Gov. Brown in
his recent message, which the welfare Of
the people requires should be adopted, is
that which advocates the policy of ingratt-
ihg in our constitution a clause forever
hereafter prohibiting the establishment OF
Banking institutions in this State. Its past
history should afford useful and instruc-
tive lesson upon this subject and should
warn with loud voice the people to guard
against those evils which for many years
blghted their fairest prospects, and spread
throughout the State the seeds ofmisery and
misfortune. The events of the past should
serve as guides for the future, and enable
mankind to avoid those obstacles which
impede their onward career in the paths of
prosperity and happiness; and who so bin
ded by party zeal or mislead by other eau
ses have failed to perceive the destructive
effects of Banking institutions in the State
of Mississippi Like terrible Pestilence it
has ragged, in all its fury from one extremity
to the other, and left traces of its desolating
career which the events of many years
will not efface. The rich, the poor, the
proud, the humble, have all tasted its bitter
fruits, and shared its evil Consequences
A few mercenary, depraved spectators
who like hungry Wlmres that have eager
ly watched the result Of opposing armies
and fattened upon the bodies of the slain,
may have accumulated wealth amidst the
general wreck of fortunes, yet those who
constitute the industrious and honest por-
ton of the community, have experienced
sad and incalculable misfortunes. Then
let bulwark be reared which will protect
the people from such disastrous consequent
ces-which will protect them from the sad
effects of unwise, reckless legislation.-
The history of their past calamities, their
prospects for future prosperity demand it,
We believe the people Of Mississippi have
sworn pnyielding hostility to the entire sys-
bems of banking, and funding-schemes
devised to plumber the many and enrich the
few, and their representatives will prove re.
creant to their trust if they fail to adopt this
measure, which will prove a safe guard to
their rights, and more efectually insure the
perpetuity of their free and happy institu-
tons.
We quote the following extract from the
Governors message in relation to this sub
ject:
Overwhelmingly for the stabili.
ty Of our institutions and the safety Of sOcie.
ty, political communities seldom profit by
the experience of the past. The lessons,
which were taught US during the banking
mania in this State-the deep and vital
wounds which were inflicted on the morals
and good order of society, will be entirely
forgotten in the lapse Of a few years.
Whilst the recollection. Of these events are
fresh in our minds it will be we'll it we
make an enduring record of the hostility
they have engendered to banks and bank
linz and to this end | advise an amend
ment Of the constitutions, forever prohibiting
the establishment of banks in this State.
