Why incur the hazards Of shipwreck, when be-

tend to discuss the wisdom Of their policy so much
as to direct public attention to the dssensons in
the ranks OF our opponents, eking their 'ma-

from one portion of the party in regard to the
probable miscellaneous effects of the measures pro

leaders summon them to the fight
We need but refer to the Oregon controversy
as another striking illustration Of the discordant
opinions Of the Administration party-one section

the assertion, even at the hazard Of war, Of the
American title to the extreme limits Of the ter
ritory in dispute, to which they allegc the party
is bound not less by the resolutions of the Bati-
more Convention, than by the voluntary pledges
of MIR. Polk whilst Calhoun and Benton [omi-
nous conjunction as boldly affirm that it is the
duty of the Administration to compromise the
question, If it can, by surrender Of more than six
degrees OF latitude to Great Britain. Aud both
sections of the party, with equal boldness, although
occupying such antagonist positions, claim to
speak the sentiments of the President; and both.
perhaps, would tomorrow, were he a candidate
for reelection, strain every nerve to promote his

We have thus hastily grouped together some of
the important questions upon which the Admin.

and proper, therefore, when complaints are made
by them, Of the hostility evinced by the Wings to
