q specific time, America was determin
ed TO maintain what she regards as her
rights in Oregon. And that is, sup
posing no other proceeding is adopted
than to give the specified notice. But
if the other recommendations Of Mr..
Polk be carried out-if contemporaries
ously with giving notice to terminate
the treaty, the American Government
begins to occupy, sends IN its pioneers,
and buildAts stockades and forts, would
it be possible to regard such measures
in any other light than as a declara-
ton Of war?
"Again it says, it cannot be too
strongly impressed upon the American
public that to adopt a resolution 10 give
the years notice, SO far from facilita-
ting, as they suppose it would do, the
progress Of the negotiations, would be
in fact to provide for their certain fai-
lure before we had entered upon them
We are anxious that this opinion
which is, we believe, the opinion Of the
opinion Of the great bulk Of the people
Of this country-may be known il
America while there is yet time for i
to influence the decision Of a moment

"PUT ME OUT! PUT ME oUT!"-The
guardians the night In Albany, were
not little surprised 10 hear, from a
lowly gutter, late one night. last week,
sharp earnest cry, "Pwt me out! Put
me ontm On drawing near they found
lusty fellow sitting upon the curb,
with his feet in :he gutter, and leaning
against the iron post oc one of the gas
lamps. It was poor Tim Lightbody,
and the terrors ofdeliritm tremenS had
oycrtaken him in the gutter.-His brain
was on fire and his vitais burning up
with rum. And now, as he leaned back
against the post, SO that the full glare
Of the brilliant gas light shone into his
wild and bloodshot cyss, an Imp of the
Distillery whispered in his ear that his
head was on fire. And poor Tim was
in a condition to listen to the grinning,
chattering sprite, and as it disappeared
down the neck Of bottle, he lifted up
his voice and cried Justify, ''Put me out!
Put me out! Fire! Spontaneous CON-
bustion has, has, took place! I'm in
light blaze Sir! Away, away! ye wirey
COLLINS! know We all! Ye are matches;
lucifer matches! Ye set me in blaze!
Put me out! Water! Water! Blow in
my, my, ears-if they amt burnt out!
Blow down my throat, quick! its red
hot! Oh, somebody put me out! Put me
out?'l,,
And then the watchmen took him in
charge, and put him IN the watch house,
where he raved till morning, and then,
very early in the day, died. Poor fell
low! He was ''put out'' mos: efectual-
