1ty- Below will be found some extracts from
despatch Of Mr.. McLane, our Minister to Eng
land, to Mr. Buchanan, Secretary Of State. These
extracts show what Mr. McLane's views were in
relationto the Oregon treaty published last week;
I.lfr. .heLane to Mr.. Buchandn-Ertracts]
LONDON, May Is, ls46.
/ have seen no cause to
change the opinion, that in any attempt to divide
the Oregon territory, the obligation left by this
government to protect the rights Of their subjects,
which may have been acquired or have grown up
during the Joint occupation. would most probably
nterpose the greatest difficulty IN the way o. an am
icable adjustment And il Is now obvious that the
proposed reservation Of the right to the Hudson's
Bay Company Of freely navigating the Columbia,
and that in favor Of Tie British occupants north OF
the river, proceed from this source; although tits
probable that more or less pride may be felt at CIV
ing up now, without what they may deem an ade-
ouate equivalent, what has been hitherto rendered
by our negotiators. M
In fact except in the surrender to the United
States Of the title of the lands not occupied by Br-
tish subjects between the Columbia and the 49th
parallel, and also the surrender of the Jurisdiction
over the river and the country within the same
limits, | am afraid il may, with some plaulbillty,
be contended that there is no material difference
between the present pro position and that offered 10
Mr. Galatin by Msssrs. AddingtIon and Huskis-
son, the British negotiators, in 1927 ...rs
1t is scarcely necessary for me to state that the
proposition. as now submitted. has not received
nv countenance | have there
fore felt my duty to discourage the expectation
that it would be accepted by the President or, il
submitted to that body, approved by the Senate.
do not thiLk there can be much doubt, how
ever, that an impression has been produced here
,h.t The Senate would accent the propostion now

The reckless financiering of Alfred Kelley, by

the people are paying six per cent interest Upon

iUHgItAt
Our latest news from Congress is to the
9th inst. On the 10Th, Congress had re-
solved to adjourn, and by this time the
members have left for their homes, and we
may speak of the session as past. 1t has
been long session, and much important
business has been done. Yet, we cannot
but believe, if the pay of the members had
been less, they would have worked more
and talked less, and the same business
would have been done, equally as well, if
not better, in a much shorter time.
But Congress has done well, and merit,
as they will receive, the appreciation of the
people. They passed the Tariff, Subirea-
sury, and Warehousng bils-also two
bills providing for two new States-lowa
and Wisconsin: the first will enter next
session, and the last either the next ses-
sion or the next Congress, The Gradua-
ton biIl was lost, by disagreement be.
tween the two houses.
The President vetoed the River and
Harbor bill, which had passed both houses.
1t was sent to the House, whence it emf
mated, and on the vote being taken, TO pass
the bill, Notwithstanding the veto-there
was majority of s for the bill--not be-
ing two-thrds, it was lost. Upon the first
passage Of the bill the majority was 10.
Much praise is due Mr. Polk for this We
to. Congress is too prone to appropriate
money, and especially by the log-roling
system that carried this measure. The
veto has checked this for the present, and
we do hope such measures will always
meet such fate, And now "who is JAS
X. PolkR" and who is George M. DalIasl'
Let the people answer again.
