Nor should we withhold from that Senator
(Mr. Jarnagin) much Of praise for having
abided by the settled doctrines Of his State
against the rrong temptations OF the mo-
ment to disregard them.
Taking the whole subiec in all its bear

Mexican Affairs.

There have been rumors in circulation
ne 10 The character Of the Presidents mes
age to The Senate in secret session in re
lation 10 tho Mexican war, that created
tho expectation that peace was about be
ing concluded. We we're much in hope
this rumor was true. We find II not en-
tirely without foundation, But it comes
in different shape from what we expec'
ted. Tho Senate by vote Of publication,
on the 10Th inst, shows that the President
sent message 10 the Senate on the 4lh
informing them that he had sent TO the
Mexican Government, under date Of the
9th July, proposition that negotiations
shall be forthwith commenced for the con.
clusion of peace, just and honorable to
both parties" and Offering to send or re.
ceiye minister with fall powers. lie
further informs Congress that the war
shall be prosecuted vigorously until peace
is concluded and ratified by Mexico, and
asks Congress to appropriate $2,0O0,O00
for the purpose of concluding such treaty.
The Senate, by vote Of IS yeas to 10
nays, adopted resolution declaring II ad-
visab!e that Congress should appropriate
the money. A bill for that purpose was
passed by the House, but was lost in the
Senate for want Of time, Senator Davis, Of
Mass, speaking against time.
The President has acted manly and in
manner becoming his country and this
age, in making a proposition again to ne
gotiato. Surely, if by negotiation, we car
secure our rights, especially with Mckee
il is best and most honorable TO do SO. I
seems to US folly to sacrifice the blood o
our own citzen.soldiers and millions o
money to point Of etiquette.
We hope Mr., Polk will take upon him
self, il necessary, (and we are mistaken il
the man il he does not,) the responsible

appropriated to carry on the war, in bring

The Veto.

Congress, aud thereby arrested both inca.
sures. The River and Harbor bill, ap-
propriatiog 81 ,37s,4jO 90 to be applied
TO more than forty distinct and separate
objects, and some Of them purely local,
was passed by both houses--bya moiofity

President Polk assumed the high ground
in his message, that Congress had no such

for it in this harbor bill. 1t makes our
heart glad 10 read and reflect on the posi-.

The Executive Journal, and the Oregon DOcu
meDtS,

We have devoted large portion Of our
columns, this evening, to the interesting
documents, from which the injunction Of
secrecy has just been removed by the re-
solutions of the Senate. We lay their Sc.
cret journal before our readers, as well as
the papers which were communicated by
the President.
1t appears that the President would not
have proposed the compromise OF the last
year, If he had not conceived himself un.
der some obligation to respect the PROPOSE
tons of his predecessors; and that as soon
as it was declined by Mr.. Pakenham, he
determined never TO make similar offer
again. He strongly recommended the no
lice to be given by Congress, and indeed
this was the leading circumstances which
prompted Great Britain TO make US ano.
Their offer. 1t was this movement and the
propositions 10 which the notice led, thai,
have produced the final settlement OF this
long Iinga'ed question. II appears from
these documents, which we saw this day
for the first time, that, as far back as De.
cember last, the President had determined
to lay before the Senate This constitutional
advisers) any proposition which Great
Britain might make, that would admit of
being laid before the Senate, but that he
was unwilling to take less than our full
claim The offer of Great Britain was
made in consequence of the notice; and
that after be submitted, as he had deter
mined, TO the adyisement of the Senate.
They advised him to take it, and in con-
sequence OF it, the convention is now made,
which is so well calculated 10 preserve The
peace of these two great nations. The
President had determined never TO yield
the permanent navigation Of the Columbia
to Great Britain; and by the convention
it is confined to the Hudson Bay Compa-
nv, and those who trade with them, and
that only 0T limited time, as appears
from the letter OF Mr.. Buchanan to Mr..
McLane, inslructing him to communicate
this Interpretation OF the convention to
Lord Aberdeen. The proceedings and
documents, which we now give for the first
time, are very interesting, and are worthy
of the attention of our readers.

IMPORTANT AND PROBABLE RuMoR.-
There is report in circulation, that ap.
pears 10 us most probable, that Mexico
has offered our government terms of peace,
such as we cannot refuse 10 accept. The
basis of the peace measure seems 10 be.
that Mexico will pay the expenses of the
war and sell US California. We hope for
the cause of humanity that the rumor is
well founded, and that by our mex, adyices
from Washington we shall be informed
that hostilities between the two countries.
have been suspended, and that we shall
