We find the following important anrnunc -incut in
the New York Journal of Commerce of Dec. 4. Tue
intelligence, t!ie correctness of which we see no ron
ton tu question, will be as nt living Vt our readers
63 it is important :
Recall of Mr. Pakenham. Tho statement copied
D in a few day
in a lew Uivs s ine. Ironi the boston li-st. that
Mr. Pakenharn had been recalled bv the liritirh go-jas
vernment, is confirmed by facs recently transpired, j
v e lern irom various source. t.'ai ine rejection hy
the British Plenipotentiary, rf .Mr. Folk's proposition
to e stahlt di the FJlh parallel ot North latitude as the
boundary between the terr.tor.isof the two count rhj.
so far from being in conformity with j Mith e initruc
tiOns from home, is considered by the Friiisli govern
ment a filse step in diplomacy, and that Mr. Pukcii
ham has been recalled therefor, and 13 now expecting
the arrival of hit successor.
Our Washington correspondent writes as follows:
Waskimgton, December 3.
Ammj the various conjectures as to the result of
the Oregon ditUcmty, there is one that appears to be
plausible, ts well as desirable, viz. that 3Ir. Fakcn
Lam may leave, and a ne-v minister be sent, witii in
structions to oJer to us tiie proposition which ilr.
Polk mads to Mr. Pakenharn, and which was si ab
ruptly rejected. Tiiis conjecture i based non the
supposition that Mr. Pakenharn went beyond the line
cf his instructions in rejecting that propos.tion. He
certainly has no ppv-ifc instructions, it is said, upon
that particular o!lVr. Should thi3 b? the eis-, the
question will be whether the present administration
will entertain another proposition for a compromise.
That will depend much upon the indicators of public
opinion, and on the opinion f the Senate in the mat
ter. It is very certain that Mr. Polk will, hereafter,
take no step in which he will not be sustained by the
ascertained sense of the Senate.
31 r. Adams, it i said, as well as other Wi.is in
Congress, are now prompt and decided in their de
clarations that they uiil not concede an inch (as
Mr.
.. says, not a minute. of .he territorv. miles
Great Britain should concede the right to us to acquire l
a.nA tmssps tl:- r;-.lif.rn;r.5. !
There is scarcely a doubt that Grctt Critiia desis !
to pjRsess and colonize t!iC Californias, and there is
not much reason to suppose that she will relinquish
th?.t design, even for the sike of peace.
It is still possible, and barely pos.ble, that the pro
position to give Greit Britain the year's notice will
fail in the Senate. If it pass and ten chances to one
it wi'.l then we must abandon our claim, or prepare
to maintain it.
Still, it seems impossible that either party to this
controversy can contemrdj'.e the savage and brutal
appeal to arms. The conservative principle, strong
as it is, though latent in loth nations, must he
brought out for the defeat of this barbarours and wan
ton alternative.
Foreign Ilomllioltlci s.
On Thursday a communication fiom 3Ir. Charles
Butler, in behalf of the Foreign Bondholders of this
State, wa presented to the House of Representatives,
und?r on envelope from the Governor, recommending
the same to the consideration of the House. The
Speaker suggested that Mr. Putler should be permit
ted ta read his communication, and the Hoiie readily
assented to the proposition. It went into an alle
analysis oi the nnin?ial condition of the S;ate, and
itsm-ms and abilities past and prospective; and

Col, A. C. Pepper.
We find the following in the lioshen Dcmo-rat of
December -1. We haJ not in. ud.-d to eay uny thing
more at pri-oiit in rtl.itiuii to the peron alluded to,
but the remars of the IK-m'tcrat re so pithy and ap
propriate, tint wee mm t deny oar retid.Ti tho lene

if such services while yet a bey, cutillu him to be
hent in the fittest civil oVke f r the reuiaindfr of
hi- life, we should l.ke t come under the same rule;
f r it is a fact, that thrc nam- of o;n of th-; editors of
this paper will be found oo the Army rdls of läl2,
well as that of Od. IVi p-r ; and
it i- aiso true,
that if he is not now a (Wi ;, he is a Captain vi'
Uijith. which, by some, sine the era of Captain
Tyler, is supposed to bo one of t!ie m-?st 'npuir of
military grades! We d n't know but Dr. Ellis him
self might pirticipite in the benefit of the same rule;
for though his name miy not be upon the Army list,
and though he may ntver have killed an iujun ; "
he no doubt, like another Doctor we wot of, has bkd
for his county, and not only hxd but Uhler id too!
But hear the Doctor :
The Madison Courier of the 15th ult., his a hbort d
article in dt fence of this gentleman, in reply to a few
paragraphs published by us -ometime list August,
As we have not room for so lengthy a production, we
can only give its substance, which is, that he sened
months during the h.st war, and was honorably
dnchargrd thnt he held the odice of Commissioner

within od) votes of bti'ng elected Lieut. Gi-vtrr.or

been Commissioner of the S.nkiniT 1 imd ; and is a
man liked by his neighbors, r.i.d of grod moral char
acter ; supported the n tuination of Col. Polk, and is
moreover so straight a politic, an. li nt the Courier
says: Had Dr. Ell.s him-elf lern appunted, (and
he was not an applicant.) Col. PepptT never would
have said au-riit against it."
All this may be true rn.:i?h, t ut does not contro

A meeting of the Democrats of Vinecnncs town
ship, Knox comity, was held at the Town Hall, in
Vincennca, on the 20th tilt., ar.d Wm. Furtcii, Esq.,
was appointtd chairman, and S. H. Elliott, Secrc
ta ry.
The following gentlemen were appointed delegates
to the Democratic State Convention, to be laid in this
city on the fcth f January, viz:
John Caldwell, P. M. Thomas, Robert Hodgcr.s, Jas
P. Padollet, at;d M. L. Ed-ou.
Af;er the trnr.saction of some local business, the
following res .lotion was adopted, on motion of J. JJ.
I Myers, E .vj. :
Jifsu!ic.i, i int ue will most coruiany pive our sup
port to the JJtmocraiic nomiuces for Governor and
Lieutenant (lovcrnor, when nominated by the Demo
cratic Convention which meets at Indianapolis cn the
9;h of January next, and UiC all honorable means for
their election.
The following resolutions were then introduced by
the Hon. John Law, and unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That the principles and policy of the
Democratic party as manifested in thetr resolutions
adopted at the convention, at Baltimore, in November
last, are the true principles and policy of tho party
noic. That with those principles borne aloft, we en
tered into the c ntest which resulted in the election
of James K. Polk and Geo. M. Dillas. That the elec
tion thus terminating in behalf of the Democratic
party, by a large and decided majority, is a clear in
dication of the popular sentiment in favor of those
resolutions, and of the earnest desire and wish of the
Democratic party to see them carried out iu all their
bearings by the present administration.
Rtsohcd, That among the resolutions there adopt
ed, none were more cordially responded to by the
democracy ot the west than that
title to the uhok of the territorv
indisputable; that no portion of
to England or anv other power
tion of Oregon, at the earliest practicable period, was
a great American vicasure. recommendirg itself to
the cordial support of the Democracy of the L'nion."
Kesniud, That, as a portion of that democracy, we
so view the question as 41 a great American mea
sure" and that wo hail with pleasure the prompt,
manly, patriotic and American response cf tho Presi
dent to that resolution, in his inaugural speech, in
which he repents "that our right is clear and unques
tionalle;' and that we trust, hope and believe, that,
m his forthcoming message, he will reneat the scnti-
men!, ar.d advise such measures as may Le deemed
rwessary to more fully assert our right, and terminate
the joint occupancy of the territory?
Resolved, That "the reaescrtion "bv the President of
our riht and title to the uhnle of Oregon, will bo
: hailed bv the Democratic part v. and bv all true patriots !

Saturday Fctnini?, Die. G, IS 13.
Messrs. Editors of the Indiana State Sentinel:
Since my last, little else has been done by either
branch of Congress, than to progress with prelimi
naries. Folh Houses, i'n Thursday, adjourned over
until Monday next. In the previous time, the House
cf Representatives had perfected its organization, by
as
R. Johnson as Postmaster. Messrs. French, Lane
and Johnson he'd the same places under the last Con
gress, The Senate has not yet elected its officers. Cau
cuses were held on Friday by members of each polit
ical party, at which nominations were made, and the
election will probably come off on .Monday or Tues
day. The Democrats nominated for Secretary, the
Hon. Jos. Sturgcss of Georgia ; for printers, Messrs.
Ritchie & Heiss ; for Sergeant-at-Arms, Robt. Beale
of Virginia, and for Assistant Sergeant-at-Arms,
Dr. Seth fc'alsbury of Pennsylvania. 1 did not learn
the nominations made by the Whigs, further than
that t-f Asbury Dickens, the present incumbent for
Secretary. The other questions attract hut little in
terest, compared to this, which produces considerable
excitement on account of the great amount of money
patronage connected with it the number of clerks
dependent on the Secretary; and the ftars of some
and the hopes of others that some of the democtatic
Senators particularly Mr. Benton will sustain Mr.
Dickens, notwithstanding his whig principles.
It is understood that if a change of the Principal
takes place, it will be followed bv a change of all the
and that Jdr. Pickens is continued,
nublic. as to vote for the re-election of Mr. D. But I
1
look further. If the democratic Senators and Repre
sentatives, coming 'fresh from the ranks of the peo
ple' have not the heart or disposition to employ
their friends instead of thir enemies, what grounds
have we for asking the administration to displace any
'. f the four hundred and odd whigs now in office in
the arious departments here ?

But the die is now cast. Diplomacy on this subject

and our peoplo in the exercise of those prerogatives

The report of the Secretary of the Treasury shows
great research, and vvnen we consider the ma-niitude
of the duties imposed upon him by his office, the most
indcfatigible industry. The grounds he assumes are
ably defended his positions forcibly illustrated.
In Ihe report of the Secretary of the Navy, the
reputation of the Historian of America loses" noth
ing, on tho coro tf erudition. But this feature is
fir from being the greatest merit in that production.
The keen perception of the statesman is seen in every
line; and tue uoumetis oi the patriot in every sug
gestion. Tliat branch of the public service has long
been an eye-tore to the sober thinking, honest, and
working portion of the peoplo of the United StatcF.
Abuses and errors haic long existed, and vet. till
now, wc have not had a head to that branch cf the
government with tue skill to ferret them out, and the
nerve to call the attention of Congress to them. I
could particularize and comment, until 1 should fill

remark that with all the foresight and diligence of
Mr. Bancroft, it will be exceedingly difficult for him
to produce the thorough, radical reform necessary, so
long as the several Bureaux in that Department are re
quired to be filledjby officers in that service; men who
from long enjoyment of life stations, under enormous
salaries, have become aristocratic, and lost all ideas
oficonomy, or regard fjr popular views and feelings.
If Congress really desires to carry out the reforms he
so clearly shows to be necessary, they will lose no
time in relieving him of this incumbrance, ami eive
him an opportunity to call to his aid the common
sense and co-operaiion of practical men.
The report of the Secretary of War, also contains
many valuable suggestions, promulgated in Mr. Mar
ry 'a usual plain and forcible manner ; and that cf the
Postmaster General eliows that he has not been idle
or inattentive to the important interests over whi' h
he has been called to preside. It is to 1)2 regretted
that tbc new postage system works so badly as to re
quire an increase of the rates of postage. Still the
increase which Mr. Johnson recommends is s prn ill,
compared to the old rales, that I suppose Congress
will have no hesitation in amending the law accord
ingly.
I regret to learn that Mr. McPufiie is SO indisposed
that it is doubtful whether he will be able to be in the
Senate at the election of officers to-morrow. Sena
tor Woodbridge is also confined to his room. Mr.
Dickinson and Mr. Calhoun have not yet arrived.
I am pained also, with a report this evening, that
that valuable officer, Maj. Hobbie, First Assistant
Postmaster General, lies at the point of death.
Yours truly, TIMOLEON.
