THE OREGON NEGOTIATION.

The Following paragraph appears in the
New York "Morning News" of Wednesday,
the Oath ult.
"ArePort was in general circulation yesterday
afternoon that a letter had been received in the
city from member Of the Cibinet at Washing
ton, by the afternoons mail, to- tile effect tina,
settlement Of the Oregon boundary question had
been concluded in London between the British
Government and Mr. McLANE on the basis of the
19th degree-the proposition having come from
the former. We have not seen the letter in Ques-
ton, but have reason to regard the truth of this
report as in The highest degree probable. We
kno,o the British Government is anxious for the
speedy and amcable settlement of the question
we hnoto, too, that it was at recent day ready
TO offer the 49lh degree, before allowing matters
10 GO 10 eXtremities. Nothing can be more like
ly than that, out of this anxiety on their part,
coupled with The fact of our Government having
recently offered 10 accept the line of 40 degrees,
has grown definite treaty between Lord ABER-
DEEM and Mr.. McLANE."
Had this paragraph (remarks the National
lntelligencero originated in almost any other
paper, we should have passed it by as being a
mere embodiment of one Of the multitude of
rumors from Washington which are constant
ly on the wing in the great commercial empo-
rum. Nor do wenow give faith to the rumor
said TO have gone TO New York from this CT
ty, Of the actual settlement Of the Boundary
Question" at London. But to the remarks
OF the "News" upon the rumor, we attach
much consequence, from the fac: that the E.
ditor Of the "News," J. l.. OsSULLIvAN, ESQ.,,
has just returned in the acadia from a short
visit to Europe, during which he has doubt
less had access, at London, TO the best sources
Of information. When he says that he has
'reason TO regard The truth of the report as in
the highest degree probable" and that he
kno,cs the disposition and willingness of the
British Government to be such as he says,
we feel bound to share the confidence which
he expresses Of speedy aMd saiisfacinry adj
justment of this question:, on the principle "a
bove stated. Such, our readers will recollect,
(says the lntelligencer,) has been our hope,
and, we may say, our prediction.

THE STATE OF TEXAS.

The Joint Resolution for the admission Of
Texas into the Union as State, it will be
seen has passed both Houses of Congress
and, it is said, has been approved by the Pre-
sident, and forwarded by Special Messen-
ger to Texas.
The National Intelligencer thus remarks
upon this event:
,''rhe die having been cast at the last session,
the consummaton Of "annexation," in one form
or other, at the present session Of Congress-, was
to have been expected. But the act of admission
Is exceptlonabe in several particulars, and espe-

without any Intermediate term Of probation such
as other Territories have all undergone before
being admitted in the Union, right to send two
Representatives to Congress, her population not
being sufficient to entlle her to even one, except
under the special provision in the Constitution
that "each State shall have at least one Repre-
sentative" What there is in the case of Texas,
or In the claims Of her population to the peculiar

da-whch were not enjoyed by other new States
before them, and will assuredly not be extended

nation TO discover.
In the Senate, the privilege of debate upon the
SUBJECT, or oil proposing amendments, we are hap
Ply TO say, was not refused, as it had been in the
House OF Representatives. In both Houses,
however, this act Of admission of a Foreign Ter
fltory into the Union--an act for solemn delbe-
ration, II any act can Disappears 10 us to have
been pressed TO a decision with, to saw the least
OF it, an unseemly precipitancy."

DEPRAVITY IN A HIGH JUDICIAL
FUNCTJONARY

The New Orleans papers contain painful &C.
counts OF the development of crime in Judge OF
The Supreme Court Of Louisiana-Judge RICE
GARLAND. The crime was forgery, and was
proved beyond question in exparte examina-
lion, held on the 10Th instant, in New Orleans.
1t appeared in the adduced, that Judge G..
had drawn a note for $4,000 over the signature Of
John McDonough: signature subscribed TO a
complimentary letter which Med. sent to the
Judge accompanying present Of Strawberries
the writing above the signature having been ex-
tracted by some chemical process. 1t was re-
ported that the examination resulted in warrant
for the commitment Of the Judge.
While the examination was pending, the ac-
cused eDdeavored to commit suicide by leapng
from steamboat into the river--he was rescued,
and afterwards attempted his life in another man
ner, in which he was also foiled, and was carried
home in state Of exhaustion.--RichmondI TINES.

The Times adds: "The in,errcp,ion Of tho
negotiation did not arise from ,an incident of tr
ming Importance ana easily explained. but from
the refusal Of the British Minister 10 Join issue on
fhe propose! Of The 49M degree Of latitude as am
equifdbte con,promise."
Again: ION this most important point the
Genevese Traveller has certainly mistaken the
feelings Of the British Ministry and of the British
people; Tor to accept, under existing circumstan-
ces ~ offer which We deliberately rejected on
three former occasions, and which involves the
actual abandonment Of the most important settle
men.s of the Hudson's Bay Company, and Of the
whole valley OF the Columbia, Is altogether out Of
fhe question:
Again "At no distant period, therefore, we
augur that the system OF joint occupancy will be
terminated; and, as we ourselves have extended
the jurisdiction Of the British courts of Justice Of
canada to our own settlements on the Columbia,
! so We readily admit that the Americans are free
to establish their jurisdiction, one southern bank

formed. In these two measures there is nothing
to render war inevitable; and, whenever they
have been carried, we shall be glad to learn ho,v
Mr.. Polk proposes to take possession of a country
which the agents Of the Hudson's Bay Company
have already occupied and are perfectly able to
! Defend"
| 1t was my intention to have made some re-
marks on these extracts; but, taking it for grant
ed that the Times has not spoken unadvisedly
as to the feelings of the British Government and
people, forbear, with observing that there is nc
appearance OF dissatisfaction with Mr.. Paken.
ham; no recall of him; no instruction TO renew
the negotiation, so far as any information on these
points has been made public.
The stock market has experienced further de-
preston. Every thing presents most gloomy
aspect so far as money is concerned.
The last steamer has brought out, with orders
to sell, an amount of United States stock bu
whether the amount is or is not large am unable
to say.

THE CONFESSIONS.

IL is with the slncerest pleasure that we pub
iish the following Statement, with the accompa.
nylng Letters, from the ''AUGusrA DEMocR.r''
of Monday, in reference to the published Confess
slons Of Negro Jim and his associates, which
have produced such deep sensation and excite
ment In our community. 1t will be seen that i,
fully justiies tho hope which we intimated, and
which we were loath at any time 10 quit, that the
effect of the publication upon the character O,
the poor, unfortunate girl was not duly estimated
ny those concerned it, and that in all probability
some comparatively venial motive alone had
prompted it. For this we now have the clear
and explicit declarations of both the writer and
the publisher.-They expressly disavow all
throwing the slightest shade of suspicion upon
the hitherto spotess name of the unhappy su(-
ferer; and, moreover, they avow the belief, from
facts which have since come to their knowledge.
that the confessions as written and given by them
10 the public, are UNTRUE. Thus they make all
the reparation in their power for the unintention-
al wrong which they have inflicted, and fairly
entitle themselves to the liberal and induloent
consideration of their fellow-citzens. Let us
be done, then, with all harsh thoughts and re-
sentiments on the subject. The poor but noble
girl again stands forth triumphanty indicated,
just object of our sympathy and we are sure,
if we know any thing of her spirit, she would
say-"Let the wrong which has been so fully
and promptly repaired, be as freely and quickly
forgotten"
While on this subject, we would urge upon all
who may have any of the printed Confessions in
their possession to burn them at once.-They are
VIGOROUSLY untrue, and ought not to be allowed
10 outilye The evidence or their ialsehood. THIS
is but an act Of sheer justice-f not, indeed, a
moral duty.
Correspondents, whose communications on this
subject are excluded, will doubtless approve the
discretion which we have exercised over them.
We are glad that the public mind has now a
prospect of repose from the protracied and har-
RAISING excitements, growing out of this horrible
affair.

MONDAY. Dec 90


MR. EDITOR IL have just seen ..rhe De-
mocrat'' Of this mornng-and fully accord to
the reply made by Mr. Clarke and others TO the
now avowed Vriier and Publisher of the "C,n.
fessions' on which have animad verted. NV
former communication was not personal TO them
this is. They have done what they could to
repair the injury unwittinply inflicted on the
young Lady-what might be expected to be
promptly extended by gentlemen. She is made
10 stand, In their explanation, where she deserves
10 stand-unotfending unmpeached unreproach-

have ruined her and paid with their liberty and

Justly separated from society; she retains its
confidence in her integrity, and feels its gener.
Gus sympathies in her wrongs.
This is right. Without it, we cannot exnect
our virtnous daughters, if subjected to such inu-
more moral courage and conflict of feeling than
any other circumstances, perhaps, in which a
human being can be called to act. When LADY,
is called 10 proclaim her own ruin by the oath
which consigns her ravishers TO the gallows it is
certainly as much as she can do when sustained

ilc justice. Let her only have cause TO fear that
she will not be thus sustained and the villain
VIII have no longer any need of Bowie-knife
TO ensure her silence. He will not need the Pr
rates protection, where .'lhe dead tell no tales
HE has only to whisper in her ear--"Hang me
dy your oath, and ,cW blast your character by
my dying confession" Her lips are sealed with
more certainty than with the seal of death-if
she rs 6ut once taught that that confession may
have more weight than her oath. To.a virtrous
mind, reputation is dearer than life. That mind

MILITIA MUSTERS.

Three States of the Union, it appears, have
abolished Militia Observation-Disclosures
Maine, and Vermont. In Massachusetts, fiji.
~ thousand dollars per annum are appropr-
aled TO sustain any number of volunteer com
panies, not exceeding ten thousand men, a,
the rate OF five dollars for each man, who are
required TO do duty certain number Of DAYS
IN the year. In Maine, there is but simple
enrolment of all that are subject TO militia
duty-and the same in Vermont. There does
not appear 10 be any provision in these States
for Volunteer companies-This we think a
serious error.
