Wing the most consistent paper under The sun.
The main object OF the passage OF the oregon
bill, was TO proyidc for the people of that ter
| rItory laws and regulations, for which they
had, from time 10 time, most loudly petitioned.
| The two Houses Of Congress were constantly
urged BY petitions, and in other ways, TO provide
Tor the wants of the people in this respect.
This was one reason why Mr.. Polk deemed it
necessary 10 sanction The Oregon bill Had
Mr. Winthrop the same reasons Tor introducing
his proviso'
Another was, that the provisions were not in
consistent with the terms of the Missouri Com.
promise, a, those terms were understood by Mr.
Polk. "HAn IT." SAN IN, EMBRACED TERRI

the friends Of Winthrop say that he respects
the Missouri Compromise, and that he agrees
with the President rs TO the proprety of veto
ing territorial bills for the more Southern terri
tories, which have the Winthrop proviso in
them
Nj. Polk very Justly tells Us that he respects
occasional compromises, because they alay vio.
