THE OREGON QUESTION.
We copy from the National Intelligencer
the speech of Joshua If- Gionisus on this nil
absorbing topic. It was called forth by the
following resolution:
ll-snlccd by the Senatn nn.l House of Repre
sentatives of the United States of Amorici in
Congress assembled, Tint the President of
the United Slates for hwith cause notice to
be given to the government of (treat Britain,
that the convention between the United St.:tes
mid (Ire.it Hritain, concerning the Territory
of Oregon, of the 6th of August, IS-J7, sign
ed at Loudon, shall be annulled and abroga
ted, twelve months alt"r the expiration e.f the
said term of notice, conformably t.i the scc
ond article nf the said convention cf tho (ith
of August, 1SJT.
Mn. Ginn;Nci sai I that owing to the difji-
aUy whun he had experienced beret .fore in
obtaining the floor, he was induced to avail
hinielf of his present position to indicate the
onsid( ration that would govern him in vot
ing for the resolution repoiled f cm the Com
mittee on Fnrcism Afi';.irs. ll is duo to my
self (said Mr. (i.) to say, that, in a former
Ci.ngress, 1 was opposed" tj terminating the
i.iintVccunancv of Oregon. That vote was
iMtrn under tho circumstances which then
turrounded lis. Now we are i laced in a to
tillv different position. Since this subject
was before us, our Union has l en changed
in its essential elements, and I'.s lundanient
ul principles have been overthrown. Tbt
Union founded bv our lathers has been sub.
verted, and a new slave-holding Confederacy
has been formed, giving to tho .Southern por
tion the balance of power, and subjecting the
free labor of the North, the dearest rights nf
ilin free States, to the tender mercies cf a
slaveholding oligarchy. They now have the
mir.i diieetion of tiic Government. The
people of the free .States have been political
v bound head and loot, and delivered over
to the slavchohiing interest, and it is now
worse th: u ninckt-rv to talk ot mii:iair.i:ig
tho manufacturing inter, sis of Pennsylvania
or rf New England. They urn now under
the iiicx'T.d'lu power of the South.
This, then, i i.ur situation, as We aio all
perfectly conscious. Th; nation has been
.plun-rcd without mv aid into this condition,
and against my will. I have believed, and
r.tiil believe, that this policy el acquiring ter
ritory must inevitably, if carried cut, subvert
the Government and dUsolvc the Unio i.
M::. CitiPMAN called Mr. (i. to order, and
wus Btiderst.J..l to say that to speak of the
dissoluti, f iii; Unii n was irrelcant, and
was throwing a firebrand into the Hci's.
Mr. GiuniNC.s p'occede-'. I was stating
our present situation, and the liability of thn
new Union to fill asunder from its own
vfi"ht, when this system of extension shall
be carried out. And it is u...;u i.irtf etrcuin

already subjected us to a chaerj oi lli.i Gov

Hure I will take occasion to say, that I dit--fcr
from my venerablo friend from .Massachu
setts as to the probability of war. I am
opinion that if we t ike liio wholo of Oregon,
it will produce war. I sty this, although
have heretofore in nine cases out of ten, found
myself mistaken when 1 have dim-red from
tliat vencrniiio siaienui.ui. no iuira..i.n

tion. It must inevitably produce great destruc
tion to tho commercial wedth of New Kng

Massachusetts, (M.. "WlNTIIltop,) who
other day made so cl(Muent an appeal in

mercial interests of that State, that I fully

of Government, and the leading commercial
men of Hoston were tho first in that
State to declare their submission to this new
slaveholding confederation with Texas. This
wa? done with a full knowledge of the poli
ey which had been adopted of extending our
territory. That State had declared her peo
ple under no obligation to "nite with Texas
tn consequence of any action of Congress.
I then held, and still hold, the action of this
Government imposed no obligation upon my
State, either political or moral, to enter into
this new conicm racy. No, sir, if she comes
into it, as she will, it will be the choice of
our people, and not from anv obligation rest
ing upon her by reason of the joint r solu
tions of Congress. And, if my colleagues
coincided with me in opinion, no Represent
ative from Ohio would retain a seat in this
Hall besiJe those of Texas, upon such terms
as have been imposed upon us. Dut tin-gen

commonwealth did not intei d, in going into

our present lonle,li;raey. they could not
have desired to remain under the despotic
sway of the slave power. They must have
expected that the balance of power was to be
restored by tlio addition ot teintory at tho
North to counterbalance Texas. They ought
not now to oppose the regaining of those
rights winch have been voluntarily surrend

their wealth will be merely the legitimate
consequence ol lueir suumtssion to ttie pro
posed policy, i-iul, sir, th manulactures ot
New IOngl and, and New York, and Penn
sylvania will be promoted by a war. The
agricultural interest of the West will nv.t be
likely to siidVr. Indeed, our principal bur
then will not be the defence of ourselves, or
tho taking o! Canada; abut the protection of
the South the weak, helpless, slaveholdiier
South. That portion of the Union must suf

party to stop short, to fice about, and leave
the power of t'.ie nation in their hands. They

i.ir, the people of Ohio will be compelled to
n-o to tha South, to Ala'iama, South Carolina,
Mississippi, and Texas, to protect them from
the einanei'ia'ed slaves ot the West Indies,
and the desperation to w hich their own ser
vile population will be driven. Sir, our sons
must go there and bare tlu ir breasts i a de

And, sir, no twelve hundred thousand dol
lars wiil bo likely to be paid to .Southern
slaveholders by tho lliilish Government for
the purpose of obtaining peaca. Hut, sii,
ihero is out vast and important consideration
that ought not to escape my notice. A war
with Kngland, in the present state of the tivo
nations, must inevitably plaee in our posses
sion the Camillas, Nova Scotia, and New
Brunswick. Six States will be a ided to the
Northern portion of tlio Union, to restore the
balance of power surrendered up by the An
nexation cf Texas. This, Mr. Speaker, is llie
policy declared by tho party now controlling
tat - nation, at their lialtimoru ( i nvention.
I my to triem, carry nut tha' policy! 1 de
mantl ot them not to leave tho nation in its
present state of subjection to tho slavehold
liiji oligarchy of tho South. I wiil vote
give them tlio means of doing so. Uut, sir
1 inn hound to say that I believe tho Nnrlh

Southern slaveholdii.g allies will now desert
them. We Bee them in every part of the
li.ili begging and Uesenching lucre and
Democrats "to save them from this dread pol
icy, which is to prostrate Southern interests
and involve them in blood and massacre.
master-spirit of tho South has left bis retire
ment and taken his position in the other end
of this Capitol, with the open and avowed
purpose of defeating the identical policy, the
promotion of which occupied his whole in
tellect only a twelve month since. It remains
to be seen whether ho is able to control the
nation.
Sir, should the measure be carried through
Congress, I say to Northern Democrats that
the Uxecutive will save the institutions of the
South from the apprehended danger of a war
with Kngland. V es, sir. 1 verily believe that
he will surrender up ell that portion of Ore
gon lying north of the forty-ninth parallel of
latitude, rather than hazard the eatigers of a
war. Yes, gentlemen, be assured he will do
it, and, in my opinion, he will effect it before
the day proposed by the Cliair ann of the
Committee on Foreign Affairs I'. r discussing
this resolution. Let no man misapprehend or
misrepresent me. I say, this policy is not
mine. I have atall times opposed it. Iain
still convinced that its cause piorici s are de
structive to our Government, lint it has been
forced upon us, and thor.e who have adopted
it are responsible. I wash my hands from all
participation in it; hull prefer that they should
carry it out, rather than leave us where we
are. When this policy shall bo fully carried
out, it will leave the North and the South in
the enjoyment of something like equal advan
tages. And when, from its broad extent, thi
llepublic, liko the Roman K.npire, shall fall
asunder of its own weight, the free States
will stand redeemed from the foul contagion
of slavery which now rests upon them.
The various false statements that have been
pat in circulation throii;;h the northern news;
papers, in exaggeration of tho powr of the
Dominicans an I misrepresentation of the Hay
liens are happily refuted by the following ar
ticle taken from the Hoston Journal:
HAYTI.
to
A
Mr. St.KKi'En Since the return of Mr. Ho
g.in from his secret mission to St. Dominiro
a strong disposition has been manifested to
learn liie result cf his researches.
Tho Washington corre qien Jc-nts of sever
al northern journals, wtih a iuw of gratifying
curiosity, have drawn largely epon Ir.t they
lu.leislaud to be the su.islanee ol his report.
These cnin.niinications have given an im
pression that a splendid arrangement for
"mutual benejil" is r."arly completed with the
Kas'.'jrn part of St. D iiiiingo. Ono writer
expresses surprise that Mr. Hogan should
have found in that region a population of
1110.000 including i:),00 whites.
His astonishment is certainly natural, for
the majority ot those rJO.OOOare men in buck
ram suits and Kendal green.
According to the census taken in 18-25, the
eastern division contained less than 0.1,000
all told; at this moment it may possibly num
ber 80,000 including 5, or 0,000 whites.
Another writer, in alluding to the mission,
luxuriates upon tho idea of annexing the whole
Island.
Me considers it the most delightful coun
try w hich the sun has shone upon since the
garden of Kden went out of cultivation, and
descants philosophically upon tho 1100 mill
ions ol pounds ot eoitee which we might
wring out of the si.il. liut before wn pro'-eed
to acknowledge the independence of the. Do
mieicans. or to reckon the precise value of
aOO millions pounds of cotfee, perhaps it may
be well to turn over a few pagr's of thecheck
ered history of St. Domingo, and learn s.aa..-
thlng ot t'.ie relations which subsist between
the parties.
Possibly nothing injurious may immediate
ly grow nut of this tampering with the cii"
mii s of a friendly foreign power; but that an
ed'irt will be made bre.ifler to carry out th
views of liie secret agent, thire exist not a
douht.
In the absence of a stronger arm, (which
niifjht, perhaps draw n "shining blade for
Greece," but decline a cause not tinged with
romance,) wc dip our tea-spoon is Niagara,'
and proceed to notice hrielly some of the pe
culiarities which mirk this business, and a
few of the calumnies and misrepresentations
which have been circulated in relation to an
unotfending government, End a harmless and
altlieted people.
In the firn place there is no ground for the
common .".pinion, teat llie Dominicans were
originally annexed to the government of thn
French p:ut against their consent. It is not
Hue tli it they were eoaqu -;red, beaten down,
trampled upon, and crushed, before they wern
united with the llaytiens; the very reverse of
all this was tlio ease, as we shall attempt to
show.
In 18il,at the time of Christophe s death,
lloycr was called to tho Presidency by the
united voices cf the llaytiens. At that peri
od the Spanish part of the Island was inde
pendent, but ils situation was most precari-

n.-r.vinces ill South America was at its
t, and the I oluinbi in puvateers which
tlimio'cd the Caribbean t-eas, were continual
ly plundering the people along thu shores
the Spanish part; moreover, there were many
persons in that division of tho Is) mil who
were inclined to fa vor a union with the pa
triots i f South America but by far the great
er number opposed this suggestion. Such
was the slate of things at the commencement
of Hover's irover mt. Alter maturely re
fleelin'V uiiou the difficulties by which 'they
01 ....... i .
were surrounded, tne memo government
the Spanish part sought protection in a un
ion with the li lytieus, and uoyer was form
ally solicited by them to grant his consent
of
oi
to
the annexation of the K.j stern part to the Re
public of H iyii. Tin. re pir..st wms complied
with, and llie Eastern portion became a part
and parcel of that Republic, as much so as
Massachusetts now is of this Union. Thus
it appears lliat the Dominicans adopted tin
Ilsytlcn Government not i.nly vuluntnnlu but
i'iJi!,'y. Shortly after this, the French
(with an overwhelming lorco in the harbor ot
Port au Prince) demanded an indemnity for
the property sacrificed in tlio Revolution.
Tho people cf tlip country had "supped full
of horrors," mid Hover, to prevent firthcr
bloodshed and destruction of property, agreed
to the payment of I'jO.OOO.noo of francs; the
independence of Il iyti was then acknowledg
ed by France and ether European powers.
A vigorous attempt was made to obtain a sim
ilar acknowledgment from thn United Stitcs,
hut the interest of slaveholders prevailed a
g iiust it, and nothing was effected.
"About three years since, Herard was e
lected President of the Island. This was the
tiignal, in the Spanish part, for a separation
of the legitimate Government, and they de
clared themselves independent of it. It does
not appear that this movement was caused
by the election of Herard, or from a convic
tion that his course would be a bad one for
wlr.'t his policy would be was not known.
It proved, however, disastrous enough, al
though some of his first acts we.e consequent
upon the rebellion, and not the causa of it;
still it has been urged by many that Herard's
impi'ite: course was the great cause of dis
content. If it were so, it may bo asked why
Gaerierand Pierrot, bis successors and op
posi'.rs in everything, have been unable to
induce the revolters to return to their allegi
ance! Ah ut two years since, agents were des
patehej by ilm Dominicans to our govern
ment, for aid of somo sort the application
v." a-; coldly received by Mr. Upsher, which,
considering the influences by which he was
surrounded, was somewhat remarkable. Af
ter the death of Mr. Upsher the application
was renawej, and the nulliliers of the Span
ish part found a kindred fpirit in Mr. Ci.l
iiouu, the successor of Mr. Upshur. To Mr.
Calhoun belongs the distinguished honor of
sending n jeerel agent to a small discontent
ed portion of another republic, to ascertain
whether thn dissolutiiiu ot a union, contrary
to la" constitution ol the country, and in op
position to ni..e-tenths of its inhabitants, was
an act w hich this government ougnt to en
courage, in order t prove that blacks are not
competent to maintain their rights even in
their own countryiy indeed, they are supposed
to hare any rich 's any where. Vo be sure, we
are told of the advantages to be derived from
a trade with the 80,000 Dominicans, provided
we acknowledge their independence but who
believes this to have been an incentive toour
Government in this movement? Tho com
merce of our country h'js long had littlo of its
care had it been otherwise, millions of dol
lars might have been saved in our trtde, by
making the slight concession to the llaytien
Government which was asked forduiiug the
administration of General Jackson. It is no
torious that for the last twenty-four years,
goods imported into Hayti in American ves
sels have been subject to and have actually
paid an extra duty of ten psr cent, beyond
liial paid by vesseis of other nations. The
interrstu of the country has been thus sacri
ficed to gratify the refined notions cf our
Southern bretnreii. "Aristocratic England"
coitid r.eknowledg" the independence of Hay
ti, and by so doing, compnss an immense
trade, which naturally belonged to us
but "D-.iiocratic America" had "a ptculiar
inttiluiion' to which the commerce of the
country was made subservient. Does any
one imagine the prospect of fut tre b-asiness
with eighty thonsind Dominicans induced
tho secret mission? Why, an untramnieled
fade with one million of llaytiens, under a
regular goveruuient, has not been deemed
..-thy of the slightest consideration. Uut

thirsty and barbarous Christophe is often

former, however, nr.-rrdy sprinkled tho ave-
I tine of I. is citadel with blood, to perpetuate
his rule in his oten country, whilst tho latter
waded through sas of slaughter to subju
gate other nations. Napoleon w.13 of course
the i.i ist popular mt.ii, for it is a grand and
philatrhrnpic truth that
"Onn murder makes a vilhin
Mi 'lions, a here."
The llaytiens universally hold in utter detes
tation the memory of the vilhin; whilst the
refined French almost forget Heaven in the
remembrance of the hoc.
Tho sue,-, ssor of Christophe, as has been
stilted was Dover, 'he first President of the
Island. It docs not suit thoso who consider
a colored Republic an anomaly, to speak
his Government. The truth is that during
his administration of twenty years, there was
ess taking of responsibility m the part of thn
e.xe.-uuve, less i-ornipu-m among i;io ni.icers

hearty contempt for repudiation, than was
seen in this country during the same period.
Although we cannot hut feel that Slavery

did the ghost of Cies.ir to the ill-starred lira
tus.yet we allude to its existence amongst

Why, then, it may be asked has not the I
1 ind prospered i:i a greater degree. Why Is
not the French indemnity entirely paid? Let
it 1-e remembered that the country has suffer
ed, in many ways, fro.n its efforts to meet its
obligation to the French honorably. They
did not over estimate their nbility, Btthetinis
the debt w?s contracted; but since that peri
od, the produce of the Island Ins declined, in
value, at leist two thirds. Moreover, th
losses (both public and private) by fires in the
principal townshave been immense, AddeJ
to these, the earthquake of Hli dli!ged and
completely destroyed the Capo, and nearly
every ether town in the North. These ca
lamities could not all have been avoided.
The President might, perhaps, have ehecltsl
the decline in coffee throughout tho world,
and forbade tho fires; but he could not veto
the earthquake.
On the score of indolence, the Haytiurts
may be justly chargeable, but in no greater
degree than the inhabitants of the other is
lands. We must not go withii the tropics,
amongst the children of the sun, to find the
characteristics of the Nev,E,ii;landrrand ths
.Scotchman. It is very true that the capabil
ities of Hayti have not been taxed to tho uU
most; the resources of such countries never
are fully developed by voluntary labor. How
much rice would the trarolinians'unn trora
their swamps with their own hand J
As regards the other, and more important
t.ttribute of the people, in the interior, (whs
have been denounced as "blood-thirsty bar
barians,") it may safely be affirmed that ths
peasantry of tiio Island, particularly in ths
rvorth, will compare tavorably with thecultw
vatoni of any country, for mildness, hospital
ity, and freedom from vice. Their opportuni
ties, however, for religious and moral teach
ing have been slender circumstances hav
deprived them of these blessings except in
very limited degree.
Our missionaries havo glsddsnsa ossrty sor
ry benighted spot
"From Greenland's icy msuntaikS
To India's coral strind."
Hut it is a melancholy fact that Ilaytl has
been overlooked. A million people at out
very door-stone have been permitted t grops
in comparative di.rkr.esslt How far this nsfj
lect is to be attributed to the contemptuous
tone cf our government towards these Island
rs, may bo inferred by those who are famil
iar with American missionaries.
In the present state of tilings, a manifest
disposition on the part rf the U. S. to aid ths
DunuiKans would lead to dithuuUy, nut only
would 'ttie measure be considered by the worli
as anti-Republican, ungenerous and unjust,
but on the miserable snurce of policy it would
prove pi rplexiug and daugrrous in the ex
treme. It is well known that tho French
King entertains the best fcc'in s toward llay
tiens, and that the mcst liberal indulgence
as to this payment of the indemnity has late
ly been granted by him, with the kindest ex
pressions of good will. France will not al
low us to tamper w ith her debtor with impu
nity; and hy an ill-timed, impertinent inter
ference with another government, destroy hsc
chance for tho recovery ol :ir claim. A dif
ference with the French, however, is loss U
be shunned than the foul dishonor which
would attach itself to tho act of robbing
Government, lc.g powerful than our own, eX
the fairest portion cf its territory.

Li addition to the above, a correspondent of
the Tribune, writing from Mobile, states
soma further facts in exposition of this nwly"
broached scheme of annexation, and of ths
fellow Hogan, who has been selected as one
of the principal tools for its nccomplishmsnt.
The writer who is evidently a man of
character and extonsivo intelligence then
goes on to state facts which are within his
own knowledge, in refutation of the calum
nies which Heg.m, through a "creature" of
his, writing over tho signature of "V." ha 4
been pubiikhing concerning the Haytians.
"1 have been in both countries Hayti and
Dominica, an 1 in communication with ths
governments of belli. Having nopreseribe4
or interested views, I gathered very different
opinions from those imbibed by this writer.
On Dominican ground I might very easily
have formed unfavorable opinions of Domin
ican govern nent, hut as it had barely emerg
ed from the revolution of separation, I felt
that tny conclusions founded on appearances
must involve sumo decree of injustice. Don
Pedro S.mt.ina, an influential Creole, had as
sumed tho Presidency; Senor Hobadilla, ths
direction cf aduirg as principal Minister;
while a Doctor Caminaro took upon himself
the oflics of Oommissionar to invoke ths
good graces of John Tyler tV Co., in aid of
llie movement and its collateral objects. T
tho popular dissatisfaction in Hayti, which
ended in tho banishment of Reviere, Herard,
Jnginac, and their friends, the Dominican
government owed even this imperfect orga-
tnz-uiun, uuu iu ine exuausuon oi resources
produced by the causes, operation and conse
quences combined, of two important govern
mental revolutions withiu two or threo
years, it now owos its existence. Let me as
sure "W." that superiority of intellect, uto-
I'i'ho writer knows of but one missionary
in Hayti from the U.S. lie embarked wita
his wife in January tast.in a small uncomfort
