are not alone in the opinion we expressed on and
even before the arrival of the Cambria, that the Ore
gon question, and the tariff were to be mingled To-
gether and the rights and true interest of the Coun
try sacrificed at once to avoid war and to crafty
the views of our Texan administration, we cut the
following from the National Pilot, a paper giving
allegiance to no particular party.
Weneed not say that we have more confidence
in the integrity of tariff Senators than the Pilot
affects, nor that dissent from the mputation Of
"such and so much twattle about war;" to the tariff
men.
"PEACE OR WAR"
"The decision of this question, as we have often
suggested, is evidently to be made by the tariff por
ton of the United States Sen tie. In the maneu-
vering of parties, things have been SO shaped that
the responsibility of mourning war with England
is to be made to depend upon the votes of those Sen
ators who shall refuse to sacrifice the national hon.
or rights and interests by sanctioning commercial
treaty, carefully framed, by the dictation of England
so as to involve all these wrongs and this disgrace
In the surrenders we shall be required to make. We
have said all this before, and more than once; and
even during the last month we dwelt upon it, in de-
tall and endeavored to fix attention upon its enormi-
tles-but that was before the general suspicion OF
its truth, such, now prevails, was abroad. We re-
peat it, then, not new, but still urgently i'm
portant and more directly confirmed, by every
days experience.
The sfreetrade'' politicians believe that there has
been such, and SO much twattle about "war," and
the necessity of preventing it, and all from the tar

even to the rights and honor of their country,
and to protect its prosperity. 1t is on this they
calculate for the of their scheme, and their
feelers already out, sounding their way, in the
matter. The New York Tribune, says:
"The Erening Post represents the friends of pro-
lection opposing the reduction of the tariff because
it may conduct to peaceful adjustment of the Ore
gon boundary
There you have the doctrine which we have been
for weeks showing up, reader To sustain the tariff
is to prevent peaceful adjustment of the Oregon
question, is 1t Howl Why. jus. in the way we
have been SO long laborng to show; by telling the
tariff senators, those who should be such,you must
vote for this commercial treaty, which sacrifices our
tariff to such extent as to satisfy England or you
question. But, you say will such senators do this!
Those who have schemed for that result believe they
will. They believe such senators are so committed
by the anti caInor of their friends and thensel
YES not to dare do their duty to their country in
the coming emergency. They believe these sena-
tors will be afraid to assume the responsibility of
war, in defence of their countrys most vital in
teress; and they rely upon that fear for the
of their schemes. Is that reliance to prove avail
be answered by the constituents OF the senators In
question. Public opinion will control them, if it
speak bodily and fully out; but morbid inactivity,
or doubling and hestancy will be claimed as approx
all and must serve but to confirm the fears in ques-
ton, and consummate the impending national disas-
ter.
In addition to the quotation given by the Tribune,
scarce democratic" paper can be opened since
the arrival of the Cambria, but what, some "poor
coon" must take unmerciful flashing upon the
awful accusation of perferring to reduction of
Tariff What we ask has the reduction of the Tariff
to do with the question of war? Settle the Oregon
question as though there were Tariff and the
Tariffas though there were no Oregon, war no
war, and tying up of the Tariff in Oregontreaty
where will be beyond the reach of future Congress
say we,and we trust all the"peope will say amen.'
