AT IL O'Clock last night, a storm came up from the
south, accompanied with lightning as keen, and
thunder as loud as we have ever heard in midsum-
meri II continued raining the greater part OF the
night, followed by a clear and braclng morning
Congress have been four months in session, and
what have they done They have admitted the
State OF Texas, passed several relief bills, and de-
bated the Oregon question and internal i'm prove
ments The simple truth is, nothing can be done
until we know what will be, can be, or !s to be
done, with the Oregon question. What should be
done with il is plain enough. The question should
be settled But the tariff, the subreasury, the land
graduation and reduction, Mexico, Texas, every
thing rests upon the pivot OF the Oregon question
and the interrogatory now is, will the next steamer
bring the ut,matum Of the British government If
1t should bring the recall of Mr. Pakenham, the con-
troversy Is hquidated-if not, it may bring him
sructons specific and conclusive upon the division
he is to propose We hope so for If the dispute is
not speedily setted there is danger that the people
OF Oregon may declare themselves independent Of
both parties, reduce the Hudson's Bay Company to
submission, and then petition for annexation, up to
81 40.
Tomorrow being the Sabbath, we shall expect to
give you letter on religious matters.
Respectfully, TnK DocroR.
