system is respectfully recommcn ended.
Great advantage would arise from the adoption
INTO system of such provisions the expert
of other States has shown 10 be productive OF
happy results.
An obvious mode of accomplishing this object

his attention to ths philan,hropc object, ard is
ready to communicate the results of his invesliga-

necessity of rcsorting to the measure above ind-
Gated, and Will facilitate action this subject.
Whatever system YOU may fit to adopt il is
recommended that provision be made for the APP

Something over sixteen months ago. aud
the ,lsy that we announced that Nit Polk had
offered the English mission TO MI. Pickins and
Mr.. Calhoun. and, it being declined ~ them,
had offered II to Mr.. McLane. we charged that
Mr.. Polk and his abinet would not, aud dared
NOT meet England upon las assumption OF our
claim to the whole Of Oregon. We have now
the proof under MIR. McLsae's own hand. In
reply TO the address OF the chamber OF com
merce OF New York, that gentleman says:
A division of the country upon that rrinci-
pie, with reasonable regard to rights grow
ing up under the joiat possessions always APP
peared 10 me to afford Just aud practicable
basis fcr an amicable and honorable adjust.
ment OF The subject. Such, also, was salts

at the time engaged ian ny recent mission.
and in earnestly ana steadily laboring 10 effect
a settlement upon that basis l was but repre-.
senting the policy OF my own government. and
faithfully promoting the intentions and wishes
of the President.
Here is evidence Of the highest aud most
conclusive character that Mr.. Polk was never
in favor Of the claim Of this government to all
the territory south OF 81 30. Yet all this in
the face Of his pledges, professions and sppa-
rent zeal in support OF that claim. The false
hood Of such policy is beyond parallel I'll

nest foul and deteStabie.
