THE BOOK OF KINGS.

I. Then Polk, the Tennessean, saith unto
Buchanan, The Pennsylvania, Take book
and write in it, and send il unto John Bull,
the son Of Albion, even unto Victoria, the
daughter Of her father, whose brother reigned
afore,ime in the land Of Brilaia AMI write in
the book, saying, Get quickly on, Of The land
of Oregon, Tor it is all the inheritance of the
children Of the Republic.
2. And all the men of Britain, even the men
who sit in the chief seats thereof, said unto
Pakenham, the son Of Richard, who sat in the
high gate Of Polk, the Tennesseean, say unto
Polk the King, Make covenant with US TO
divide the land Of Oregon by the river thereof
which is called Columbia, and we will be
friends with the children of the Republic, even
the children Of Albion with the sons of Wash
ington.
8. And Polk, the Tennesseean, said unto
Buchanan, the Pennsylvania, Answer the
men OF Britain this wise, On this condition will
make a covenant with you, that ! may take
all the land Of Oregon even from the line Of AZ
south Of the river thereof, 10 the line Of 81
40, 10 the north Of the river thereof, for our
RICH, to the whole Of Oregon is unquestona
bic.
A. And Pakenham, the Queens servant,
who sat in the gate of Polk, the son Of Eze
kiel, said unto Buchanan, the son Of James the
hat
what you have written in a book unto the
coast of Britain unto the men of Britain who
sit in The high places thereof: and then if there
be no right Of the children of Albion TO the
land Of Oregon northward Of the river thereof,
we will give il all unto thee as thou sayest.
s. Then Polk. the son of Ezekiel, sent the
writing he had written unto the men of Brit.
tain, by the hand of Buchanan, the Federalist,
and laid il before the Council of the Republic
in the Senate Chamber, even the Senators Of
the tribes who were assembled together; and the
Senators sent the writings which Polk the
Tennesseean, the King Of the Republic, had
laid before them unto all the People, and the
People lifted up their voices and said, Nay,
this shall not be.
g. And behold, Polk, the King, came out
of his chamber and said, What ailelh the peo-
pie that they say, Nay, this shall not be? And
the Senators in the Council Chamber and the
Pharisees who sat in the Sanhedrim, even The
Scrbes and Pbarisees of The House Of Repre-
sentaives told him, that the land of Oregon
had always been in dispute between the chill
dren Of the two nations, and thai Polk, the
King, must end the dispute in peace and not
in war.
The national whig. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1847-1847, 1847-05-15

z. And when Polk, the King, heard these
dings, his anger was kindled greatly
s. And hr.look al tbat lie had written b,
he hand CT buchanan, his principal officer,
md sent il by The hands of messenger unto
he Council Chamber. even uaio the Senators,
a,ing. Ye have said, Nay. Ibis shall not be,
Ven rs desire il To be so do ye now as il
hall scea. good unto you, and lay not the
fault al my door;
9. Behold, here is The CO, enant which Blu.
chanan, the Federalist, my principal officer
ind The Kings friend, hath made with Paken-
nam, The son OF Richard, the servant Of the
Queen Of The Isles, The same servant who sit
telh 10 my gate; now swear one to the other
10 confirm This rovenan, and keep il, for will
none Oft.
TO- And so, on the morrow, The Senate, even
the Senators, confirmed the covenant, The lrea-
" with John Bull, that the land of Oregon
should be divided into Two paris ty the line Of
the 49th degree from the equator north
ward and So, il was done.
II. Then said Polk. the King Of the Repub-
lie, 10 the people, Come, the Senate hath con
6rmed The treaty made by my principal officer
with John Bull, lei us renew the covenant OF
friendship with the children of Albion, for SO
the Senate hath, nathlsss would not.
r. And The people sacrificed sacrifices Of
peace with the children Of Albion. whereatt The
people were greatly rejoiced but Polk, the
King, and many Of his chief men in the Sen
ate Chamber were wroh at this thing.
l3 Howbet, they spake not any more
thereof, but held their peace.
H. And so peace was kept with Albion.
