THE OREGON QUESTION.

THE OHEGON QUESTION.
To the exclusion of almost every hing else, we
give the proceeding. in Congress, the message Of
the President, and the correspondence between Mr..
Pakenham and Mr.. Buchanan, relative to the Ore
gon. OF the refusal of the President 10 settle
the matter by arbitration, we may ray, with the
Richmond Enquirer, that we cordially approve oil
bis course. At this time, particularly, we would
look in vain for impartial umpres in the crowned
heads Of the Old or the New World. The course
Of the leading powers Of Europe towards this coun-
try utterly precludes the idea offndng among their
rulers or people any enc who could, with impartial
justice, do de between monarchy and our repub-
lie We are glad that the Presden, has refused at
bitrston in this matter, having followed the prece.
dent Of President Tyler, who, through Mr.. Cal
houn, Secretary Of State, on the 2lst OF January,
1s45, declined similar proposition. The Washing
ton Union presents some irresistible arguments IN
support Of the action Of the President but we have
no room for them to-day.
In the revelations Of this correspondence we can
see no cause for apprehension Of war. There aye
other modes Of negotiation still left open, and the
very act Of proposing arbitration shows that Eng.
land 10 willing 10 negotiate. We still look for an
amicable adjustment Of this delicate question; and
we are sti as deeply impressed with the importance
of giving the "notice" in the Senate, as il has n.
read bee, done in the House, and carrying into
effect the other measures recommended by the Pres
leut. The policy of peace requires that we should
not recede from the ground already taken.

"BLUNDER INTO WAR"
Mr.. Mangum, of the United States Senate, has
expressed himself that he believes that the admins
taon is friendly peace, but that he fears that
may bunder into war. Well this is something,
and we may now rely upon the professions of the
President that he desires peace. How is the Execu-
tive likely to blunder into WARP The general charge
will not be listened to by the public Give us
something specific in this matter of laundering.
Has the President bundered in recommending the
notice to be given' Then tremendous maj ority of
the peoples representatives have Numbered also.
They have followed the advice in manner that we
did not expect The wing camp well nigh de-
populated by the grand exodus Of its friends, and the
red SEQ of party scrupes forded with the ut
most alacrity. The most distinguished member Of
the wing party might envy the SPLENDID success Of
the administration so far, and would gladly avail
himself of the diplomatic victories of the Executive.
The game is now obvious--t is to charge upon the
present administration, if war should come, that it
might have been prevented. Somebody else ia now
engaged in the manufacture of party capital, but we
are confident that this movement will find but little
sympathy beyond the walls Of the Capitol. 1t is not
the time make capital out of our foreign relations
they are too delicate, and must be touched with
the hand Of master The President and his cab
met are competent to the task-it is their business
to be 40, and they are. We confde in the Execu-
tive in the management Of this question--anticipae
no blunders--have no fenrs.

In all this matter, Ross claimed to act, not from

With this money he went back for another slice

consistent with assumption that portion OF the

of water by the rolling OF the boatin turning or leav
ing the wharf Allowing the oxygen to have combined
with and formed metallic oxide with the boiler, this
would leave the hydrogen equal to 1925 times tho bulk
of the water which nearly double the force Of gun
