The Oregon Question.


Will you be pleased to favor me with your view
on the Oregon question, In answer to few ques
ions Ihave propounded underneath =
LIST. Why if the title Of the United States to the
whole OF Oregon is clear and unquestionable, az
asserted by Mr. Polk, did he object refer it to
mixed commission, as proposed by Mr.. Pakenham,
with view to speedy and honorable adjustment
of the matter at issue
And. II the SAID title be so infallibly clear, by
what right or authority did MIR. Tyler and Mr.
Polk offer to cede to Great Britain any portion,
however small or insignificant, of the territory Of
the United States
Sd. At the time Mr. Polk offered the 49th degree
was it at all probable il would be accepted by Mr.
Pakenham, when it was well known that Great
Britain had previously rejected that parallel with the
Joint navigation OF the Columbia
4th. What offer can Mr.. Polk anticipate, that viii
be acceptable TO him, from Great Britain she having
refused IN the first instance more than offered
in the second case?
9th. II, as has been asserted, the offer to part with
any portion Of the United States territory wal
made for the purpose of preserving the amicable
relations existing between the countries at issue
the subject, why did not Mr. Polk relterate his oel
Of 40, instead OF Withdrawing it, and claiming the
whole, the reasons for peace being at all times
equally urgent
