RDAY, MARCH IA, 1916.
Position of the Oregon Question
in the U. S. Senate.

The Atlas's Washington Correspondent under
date of March6,gives the following, showing the
position of the Oregon question in the Senate:
The scene which occurred in the Senate
yesterday, among the rival factions of the
British Tory Party, will be long remembered
by those who witnessed its violence and ex-
element 1t proves, what the Wing Press has
always asserted, that there is no bond of pat
rotic principle, or even common political sen.
timent, among its leaders. They band togeth-
,cr for personal and selfish purposes; and con-
tinue in harmony, each supporting the piebald
policy of the other, until their interests clash
upon some great occasion, or important ques-
ton, like that of Oregon. Then, they turn
upon each othor with the ierceness of pnrtiZnn
strife, and expose the true motives by which
they are respectively influenced, when
i'rogues fall out, honest men get their due"
The immediate cause of this amusing and
cdifying Tory scene originated in Mr. Hay
woods speech upon the various resolutions
and amendments in relation to Oregon, which
he had begun the day previous. lie had unS
Jlertaken, with labored minnteness and care, to
prove that the President was in no way COM
xntted to assert an exclusive title in the Uni
ted States to 81 40; and that the honor of the
country was pledged NOT only by the acts of
previous administrations but by proposition
made by Mr. Polk himself, to n compromise
upon the 49th parallel; that, beyond that de-
gree, the territory in fact was not Oregon, and
the President was only bound to support the
national rights n Oregon He showed that
great pains had been taken to misrepresent the
views of the Executive, in order to fasten upon
the administration the policy of ''small men,
who,were striving for large places, and who
were ready to jeopardize the peace and the
interests of the country to subserve their own
ambition For his own part, Mr. Haywood de-
,clared that, if the President did not meet an o.
.erture, lift should be made, to terminate this
controversy upon the basis ofthe 40 degree, he
would regard him as having tempered with the
honor of the nation, and would turn his back
upon him, as having betrayed the trust which
he was bound by every consideration of duty
and good faith to fulfil. Some of his remarks,
though delivered in proper language, were
pointedly severe upon Allen, Hannegan,
Breese and the Western War faction, whom
he arraigned for bringing about the present
distracted state of affairs, merely to accomplish
personal schemes TO the entire disregard of
the country.
After an explanation from Mr. Calhoun, Mr.
Hannegan, with much passion in his manner,
rose, and inquired of MIR Haywood, whether
he had the authority of the President, direct
or indirect, for declaring his wish to comProm-
.Aae the difficulties with Great Britain on the

All ron THE "PooR SLAVE" or CouRsE.-
At their convention at Hincsburgh the third
party instructed their State Committee TO o.
pen one dollar subscription, 10 be expended
by said Committee in supplying the State with
iccturing. They say that the lecturer must
preccdc the newspaper, and accordingly Priest
Briggs, one ofihe editors ofthc Green Noun
tain Freeman, generally, if not always carries
around the lecturer, commences the meeting
by introducing him warmly 20 the sympathics
of the audience, and ends by calling upon the
people to subscribe for the Freeman, which
rcvolutionizcs wherever il goes. But, query,
who will be most benefited, the editors of the
Freeman or the poor trodden down slave,
whose interests have been shamciully be-
traycd by the third party in suffering the an
nexation of Texas, for no better purposes than
10 keep up the organization of third partyism
an organization which prevents others from
doing good, while it can do no good itself, and
in truth fatally increases the evil which il vain
" attempts to remedy .MddIeJury Gaiary.
TThe Briggs referred to above will be recog-
nzcd as the same who travcrscd this section
Just before an election, few years since, and
with his family living upon the hospitality of
the people, and seeking "closct interviews
with leaders ofthe Polk party. Some of our
wing friends in Essex County will not have
forgotten him, and it will take grecacr ones
than they arc to be ''suckcd' into ''one dollar
plans" by him, or into subscriptions for paper
which Processes to be ant-slavery, but which
practically plays into the hands of the slave
dealers rs efficiently and surely any Polk
print in the State. The Lecturer, too (Mr
Garnet,) who is taken around in order to
Arase the wind, is, we suppose, one of the N.
York leaders, by whose efforts that state vo-
ted for Polk, and put one or more Senators in
Congress, and or 8 Representatives to vote
for anne xation and the other Slave measures
ofthe Polk dynasty. They abuse the Wings
of course, because they constitute in fact the
only practical abolition purty-a party, which
would, but for the receptions ofthese lectur-
ers and leaders of the Sd party, have kept Tex
as out ofthe Union, by electing an anti Texas
President, and an anti Texas Congress.
The real friends of Abolition among the Sd
party ought to cast off these leaders who have
betrayed the cause, and come out form among
them, and give them countenance no longer
They cannot but see in the past that they are
practising gross impositions upon the anti
slavery sentiment of the free States, and rails
ing money under false pretences.]
