THE OREGON NEGOTIATION.

Tho following paragraph appears in
the New York "Morning News" OF
Wednesday last, which with other New
York papers OF the same date, reached US
since our last publication
"a report was in general circulation
yesterday afternoon that letter had been
received in the city from member oil
the Cabine, at Washington, by the after.
moons mail, to tho effect that settlement
OF the Oregon boundary question had
been concluded in London between The
British Government and MIR. McLANE on
the basis Of the 49th degree-ihe PROPOSE
ton having come from the former. We
have not seen the letter iu question, but
have reason to regard the truth of this re-
por. as in the highest degree probable. We
knop the British Government 10 anxious
for the speedy and amicable settlement Of
the question. We know, too, tina, it was
at recent day ready to offer the 49,h
degree, before allowing matters TO 60 to
extremities. Nothing can be more likely
than that, out Of this anxiety on their part,
coupled with the fact Of our Government
having recently offered to accept the limo
of 40 degrees. has grown definite treaty
between Lord ABERDEEN and Mr..
McLANE."
Had this paragraph originated in almost
any other paper, we should have passed
it by as being mere embodiment of one
of the multitude Of rumors from Washing
ton which are constantly on the wing in
the great commercial emporium. Nor do
we now give faith TO the rumor said to
have gone to New York from this city of
the actual settlement Of TIE Boundary
Question" at London. But to the remarks
OF the News" upon the rumor, we attach
much consequence, from the fact that the
Editor oil the "News,"J J. L. O'SULLIvAN,
ESQ.,, has just returned IN the Acadia from
a shor. visit 20 Europe, during which he
has doubtless had access, at London, to

To the Editor Of the Harfinsburg Gazette:

pies. am sorry have mislaid the pa.
per, but | understood you TO say in effect,
that although your opinion of the incon-
trover,ibilmy Of our title TO the whole Of

you would not be guilty Of the folly and
wlcked ness of pIung,ng the Country INTO
a war, by insisting on our extreme rights,
but are willing to negotiate, and surren-
der something of even wha. you thought
our due, for the sake OF peace.
For one who thinks all our due, this ma
in practice be but small concession, bu,
still II indicates so far rs il goes the correct
feeling. Few Wings presume. would be
willing to sacrifice any thing oil the honor
or essential rights Of the Nation, even for
peace and when a coarse is taken, be as.

country with more frmness than the
Wings, but we desire that course 10 be
jusiifable in the eyes Of mankind, and sat.
lsiactory to our own consciences. the
great difference between the Wing and
Loco Foco party a, present. appears TO be,
that we are generally willing to nego-
tate, and pay some respect TO British
claims upon the territory, whilst the cry
is "all or none," which, # persevered in,
must inevitably produce war. Perhaps
an examination Of her claims, in a PLAN
way, without the my stifca,ion OF diplo.
macy, may lend to reconcile the people to
the course prepared by the Wings.
Has Great Britain any claims 10 the
Oregon territory? To pronounce a, once
that she has none, is to attribute to her tho
wlckedness and folly of punging the two
countries into war with the mere hope
of acquiring by force, a territory which
she knows she has no rights, the gross an
nual trade OF which, would not support
the war for q single month.

Speaker, (ForG. .)--l9.--See Senate Jour-
nal 845--6, page 338. Every yea a
Democrat, every nay a Federalist.
You will be told that the Bankers,
though they are assessed upon their
profits only. yet pay as large an amount
of taxes as the farmer. But it Is false.
Suppose a man owns $1,000 of Bank
stock. Now the law allows him to
take six per cent, and six per cent. on
ly. The interest on this $1,000 at six
per cent. per annum is $50. This $50
is the bankerslegal profits on his $1,000
and out of this, before he is taxed, he
deducts his expenses. But we will not
deduct. Now he pays six per cent. on
his $50 profits. How much is that?
Precisely $3.50. Now take a man
whose farm-is valued at $1,000. Now
the the tax will not be under SIX mills
on the dollar, but we will put them at
five mills. What does the farmer pay
on his farm? Precisely Fiue Doliars!
Thus while the farmer pays five dollars
the banker pays but three dollars and
sixty cents on the same amount of pro-
perty; and this five dollars which the
farmer pays on his farm, is only for
State purposes, and thisis greater than
the banker paws into the State Treas
ury, for State purposes alone. 1t must
be remembered that the banker pays
nothing for county,, school, road, poor
or township purposes. All these ex-
penses fall exclusively upon the farm.
er and other taxable property.
The following extract from the Pa.
triot will show the operation of claw
in Columbiana county. 1t will be OBJ
served that the writer Of the article, in
stead of estimating the profits of banks
at six per cent, which is all they car
legally take, puts them down at
, per cent.
The inequality Of Kelley's mammoth
bank and tax laws, is most clearly il
: lustrated in the case of the branch re

Thus it appears that more than one
half of the capital stock of the Salem
bank, is held by l2 individuals. BY the
provisions of the law on the sub
ject, the fliy-three thousand dollars
owned by these twelve bankers, have
no other tax to pay except on their
clear profits, after deducting all losses
and expenses. Suppose those clear
profits amount to per cent, then we
will have the following result:
At 8 per cent, the clear profit on $685.
