' I say tho British possession of Astoria
was of short life. Wo whipped them in the
war. and the first articles of negotiation of
peace required Great Britain to surrender all
places which had been surrendered or cap'
tured. Astoria was restored ; when the roy-
al cross was taken down and tho American
stars and stripes raised, and Astoria rcslorcd
to its name; that Astoria shall ever retain
ber name, and that tho American flag shall
ever" wave over her, is the great object of
this bill.
The British ministry claim title to Oregon
by the discovery of McKenzie, a British sub
ject. McKenzio did explore a part of tho
Northwest Territory, but he never crossed
the Rocky mountains. He learned al' he
knew, as well of the name of Oregon as of
its history, from tho Indians oast of the Rocky
mountains. He neither explored nor oc
cupied Oregon, nor any part of it. 1 he
British ministry claim to have occupied Ore
con by one of their citizens named Thomp
son, who they sny headed a company of tra
ders and trappers cotemporaneously with As
tor's association. That 7s not so; and the
history and dates of their formation, and
their arrival in Oregon, defeat their claim.
Thompson's arrival and operations in Oregon
were near a year after Asloi's. I have made
no statcmeut in relation to tho discovery,
possession, and occupancy of Oregon, bui
what iis history, as well British as Ameri
can, will bear me out in.
I have stated that sundry conventions have
been held for the purpose (on our side) of
settling the question of right and possession
of Oregon, but without definite concluMr.
Our discovery, claims, explorations, and pos
session have been set forth by our commis
sioners, and they have been met by tho sham
titles which I have presented on the part of
Great Britain, and so far no definite conclu
sion has been arrived at. .
By tho third article of the convention of
1818
It is agreed that any country that may be
claimed by either party on the northwest coast of
America westward of the Stony mountains, shall
together with its harbors, bays, and creeks, and
the navigation of all rivers within tho samo, be
free ana open for the term of ten years from the
date of the signature of the present convention
to the vessels, citizens, nnd subjects of tho two
powers, it being well understood that this agree
ment is not to do construed 10 mo prciuuieo oi
any claim which either of the two high contract
ing parties may nave 10 any pan oi ine same
country.
In 1827 the American claims wore again
urged in convention with ability and with
positive evidence of their validity; but tho
same titles were brandished by the British
ministry, and no conclusion was had. Pro
positions were made to divide Oregon; that
was, to divide the Territory by a line drawn
through tho centre of the north branch of
the Columbia river, from the 49th degree of
north latitude to the main river, and thence
to the Pacific England to have all north of
tho Columbia, and America to have all south
of that line. To this proposition our minis
ters objected, and the negotiation was bro
ken off with no other conclusion than that
it was agreed by the first article that the
samo privileges shall be continued which
are secured in the third article of the con
vention of 1818; and with a condition that
one year's notice should bo given by either
party when it should be intended to put an
end to the treaty.
The negotiation lias been going on for
more than a quarter ot a century, and me
people of the United States havo become
tired of it. They now want action. They
want possession and jurisdiction, and they
will have it. They want Oregon tho whole
of Oregon, not a part of it: nothing but the
whole of Oregon will satisfy them, The
question of the immediate occupation was
submitted to the people in the last presiden
tial election, and the democratic candidates
were sustained because they were pledged
, to apply all their official powers to the imme
diate occupation of Oregon. The whig ora
tors said, true, Oregon is ours, but we will
get into a war with Great Britain if we take
possession of it now; we must do a little
more at negotiation. D n negotiation, tho
people shouted; give us Oregon and we will
do tho fighting. We have whipped England
in our infancy, we havo whipped her in our
boyhood, and we can make short work of her
now" in our manhood. Give us Oregon; ex
tend your jurisdiction over it; give us a go
vernment for our civil protection and we
will defend the territory. That done, you
may negotiate till the day of judgment.
Sir, there was not a procession marched in
the political campaign, that had not, at the
bead of its column, a banner inscribed
u Polk, Dallas, Oregon, and Texas." Other
banners wero exclusively dedicated to Ore
gon, nnd their inscription was " All of Ore
gon.'" Sir, we will not permit Oregon to be
divided. If our right is good for one square
foot, it is good for it all. If England has
just title to one square foot of Oregon, she
bas title to it all. Either the British lion or
r (he American eagle must hold supreme and
uudivided sway over Oregon; they can ne
ver both abide there. It any better proot
wore wanting of the entire want of title in
Enrland to Oregon, it is tound in the tact
that she is willing to havo it divided, If
England thought her title had one ounce of
ridit in it. she would spend millions of
pounds before slio would consent to divide
or share any part ot Urcgon. &he would be
the last nation on earth to surrender an acre
of so valuable a domain to which she has
just title. There is an illustrious precedent
contained in the book ot books, and nistory
of histories, which of itself condemns Great
Britain. By her proposition to divide, she
furnishes evidence of want of title, which is
most beautifully illustrated in tho judicial
decision of an illustrious king of Israel:
" Two women brought a child beforo tho king:
and the one woman snid : '0 my Lord, I and this
woman dwelt in one house, nnd I was delivered
of a child with her in the same house; and it
came to pass, the third day after I was delivered,
that this woman was delivered also) and wo wero
together; thero was no strangor with us in tho
house save we two in tho house. And this wo
man's child died in tho night, bocauso she ovor
laid it. And sho nrose at midnight, and took my
son from beside me, while lliino handmaid slept,
and laid it to hor bosom, and laid her dead child
in my bosom. And when I arose in the morning
to give my child suck, behold, it was dead; hut
whon I had considered it in the moininj, behold,
it was not my son which I did bear." And the
other woman said, "Nay, but tho living is my son
and the dead is thv son." And this said "No
but the dead is thy son, nnd the living' is my son."
Thus they spnko beforo the king. Then said tho
king : The one saith, This is my son that liv
eth, and thy son is dend; and tho other saith
Nay, but thy son is doad, and my son is tho II
ving." And tho king said, " Bririg mo a sword."
And they brought a sword beforo tho Uinj. And
tho king said, "Divide the living child in two
and give half to the one and hnlf to tho other."
Then spnko the woman whoso the living child
was tinto tho king, (for hor bowels yenrnrd upon
her son,) and sho said, " O my lord, givo her the
living child, ana in no wise slay it." Hut the
other snid, "Let it bo neither mine nor thine, but
divido it." Then tho king answered and said,
"Give lief the living child, and in no wise slay
it: sho is tho mother thereof."
So wo say, in tho language of tho true
molher, and in the language of tho king of
Israel, wo will not permit this child to be di
vided. Ifono half of tho child belonged
to tho Israclitish mother, tho oilier hnlf be
longed to her also. If ono half of Oregon
belongs to us, I repeat, the other half belongs
to us also.
Having briefly discussed our right to Ore
gon, I next proceed to tho consideration of
tho policy ot lis practical possession and
jurisdiction.' That wo should occupy and I
control Oregon, and that it is our right to do
so ultimately, few will be found to deny.
And why procrastinate? Why permit the
thief of lime lo gradually diminish our title?
We have already permitted ourselves to be
negotiated, until it is thought, on the part of
some, that our title is doubtful, or that we
fear tho contest of its title. Now is the
time to possess ourselves of Oregon. Now
is the time when the American people have
demanded that the regis of our laws should
bo extended over it. Shall wo bo told (as
wo havo been in relation to Louisiana and
other Territories which we have possessed
ourselves of) that Oregon is poor, barren,
steril, and mountainous, and not worth the
blood it will cost to own it? That argument
will do for the man who looks more to his
own immediate interest or peace than to tho
glory, honor and interest of his country, in
time present as well as to come. Such an
argument will do for the "peace man," who,
when ho receives a smite on ono side of tho
face, will, in Christian piety, turn tho other:
but eucIi is not tho American character,
however imperious the moral duty. Wo
havo evidence of the beauly and fcrtilily of
Oregon, by those who speak of what they
know what they say to be true. But if Ore
gon were a barren rock, with nothing on its
summit but a dead fish, it is ours, and wo
will have it. Oregon is a part of our north
west coast; and we are, in national honor,
bound to permit no foreign power, friend or
foe, tooccupy it. Oregon is our territory; and
wo owe it to ourselves and to those who are
to come after us to fence it in by our laws
and our jurisdiction, to preserve our fishc
ries, our timber, and our valuable animals
from the rapacious plunderers of the wide
world, who may, and who are now despoil
ing it. If wo havo no immediate use for
Oregon, that is no reason why we should not
occupy and detend it. It is a rich inheri
tance, which wo aro bound to transmit to
our posterity undcspoilod.
The Mexican Indemnity. A letter in
the Richmond Enquirer gives tho following
account of what is become of the missing
instalment on the indemnity stipulated to bo
paid to this conntry by Mexico:
" Hero are the circumstances of the case,
as the wero told to me to-day, by a gentle
man on whom I can rely. Tho firm of
Hargous & Co., in Vera Cruz and New
York, and Voss &. Co.j in Mexico, aro agents
of our government for receiving tho money'
already stipulated to bo paid by Mexico to
the United Slates. Trigueros, Santa Ana's
lato Secretary of tho Treasury, is a princi
pal partner of these firms. With one hand,
as Santa Ana's fiscal agent, ho paid tho last
instnlmnst f.a75.000) uilo tho olhnr. with
master's Ministers, whose heads nrc not safe
on their own shoulders if caught within the
Republic of Mexico. Santa Ana's robberies
of the Treasury of his own government, fur
nished him with an illustrious precedent for
this robbery of ours. Our Treasury suffers
by this financial "operation;" for you will
remember he was sufficiently patriotic to
givo his own government n receipt for the
money as United States agent. This Con
gress will bo forced to appropriate the sum
stolen, tho United States being responsible
for it to the claimants.

Exploded Theories.
The ancient Greek republic's fell by dis
union, say the Bourbons of our country, and
our republic will fall by the samo spirit. Of
course theso Bourbons suppose that the
American republic has all tho .elements of
disunion which characterized. tho Greek, and
of course they aro blind to the fundamental
differences between the two. Wo havo al
ready alluded to the difference of origin be
twoen the two confederacies, and will now
mention other differences. Tho Greek re
publics wero separate, independent nations,
united, when so at all, by a league or alii
mice, and not a constitution. Their Cou
cress, when thev had any, was a meeting of
ambassadors lo make treaties, and not of le
gislators to make laws. Each Slato had its
distinct, independent, sovereign State go
vornment, and Iho laws mado by tho Con
gress for the whole wero not binding on
each without its assent; such laws, if laws
they could bo called, bomg merely agree
ments or treaties, like those mado in modem
times among tho independent nations of
Eurooe. bv the Congress of Vienna. Even
their league against tho Persians, under Xer
xcs, celebrated by tho battles of Thermop-
ylffi, Maiathon, Salamis and iVlycrilo, by the
(icaiu oi ijconiuas, ana nio prowuys ui urn
tiades. Themistoclcs and Anstitles, was
nothing more than a treaty of alliance, like
that between us and the French in our rcvo
lution. And theso leagues wero liable to be
broken by any ono of the parties, and were
frequently so broken; and when they were
not thus united by treaties, tliey wero con
tinually at war with each other. Nothing
but a senso of common danger from a com
mon enemy could unite them; and when
this external prcssuro was removed, they
wore in continual conflict with each other.
And what produced these frequent and
violent conflicts between Sparta and Athens
Sparta and Thebes, Athens and Corinth, anc
other members of this Union? Difference
of character and interest, flowing from diffe
ronco of origin, and acting upon contiguity
on tho sumo continent. Ancient U recce
was, on a small scale, precisely what modern
Europe is on a largo scale, an assemblage
on tho same continent, ot dillercnt nations.
flowing from different sources, governed by
dillercnt laws, chaiactenzed by tlifleron
manners, impcllod by different interests, and
independent of each other.
They exhibited what all independent nn
tions upon the samo continent havo ever ex
lubited, mutual jealousies, mutual aggression
and mutual conflict. And whilo at peace
they drove each other, through continual
fear of war, into military despotisms.
But the Grecian republics had another cle
mcnt of discord, well known in modern
Europe, but utterly unknown in the United
States. They wero infested with privileged
orders. I heir very foundations were mill
tary aristocracies: for tiie Scandinavian races,
who subdued the original Phoenician colonics
of Greece, have been celebrated throughout
their history for establishing such institu
tions. Tho feudal system has invariably
marncd their footsteps. These military aris
tocracies, when not united by common dan
ger without, liko the Persiau invasion, were
continually quarrelling for supremacy at
home; and hence sprung tho political vicis
situdes of Arislidcs, Themistoclcs, Alcibia-
des, Pisistratus; tho innumerable civil wars
wero contcsis of the nobility for power, in
which tho people had no concern but suite
ring. They were proc:sely like the civil
wars of Italy in tho middle ages, and precise
ly becauso the Italian Slates were military
aristocracies, founded by the same Northern
barbarians who founded the Greek republics.
I his cause of disunion never can exist in
the United States, and a preventive is found
not only in their political and social constitu
tion, but in the very extent of their territory.
The more extensive bo a nation, the fewer
chances exist for the establishment of family
aristocracies, and tho loss influence they can
acquire when established.

" The office seekers are said to besicgo

extent is true; but they are by no means as
many now as they were when General Har

seeking enough, Heaven knows! among the

personally and politically; but I must say
that their rapacity for office exhibits itself in
a moro modcrato and respect able way than
it did among the whigs. Tho sceno presen

Learn A Trade. How often do we hear a
middle aged man say, " I wish I had learned
a trade." Why do they express the wish?
Becauso they seo tho mechanics obtain good
livings and prosper around them. Just look
around your own neighborhood. Who are
suffering the least from poverty? Mechanics.
Is not your wealthiest neighbor a mechanic?
Yet strange to say, many young men will
not learn trades they wish for more respect
able business. They don't wish to gash
their hands by edged tools, or lay bare their
skins by machinery. Nay moro if they go
to trades, they will soil their hands, brown
their skins and bo obliged to wear coarse
clothing. And somo parents aro unwise en
ough to permit their sons to live as they
please and continually run themselves into
debt. How frequently do too indulgent pa
rents say, my boy is loo weakly to work at a
trade. The fict is. alilllo d.iily labor would
help such a body materially. This hatred
of a hand saw, a sledge hammer, a printing
press, or a last, is not tho thing. Unless
moro boys aro put to trades, or on farms, in
a few years, every city, town and village in
tho Union will be crowded with ruffled slur
ted and starched up clerks, doctors, lawyers,
ministers and paupors. Now, in all con
science, we have too many by ono half such
characters, who nro sucking tho life-blood

A word to Iho young. Learn trades,
work at something no matter what. Go
into a printing office, a tailor's shop, or a
sale loft; do anything hut study law, physic,
divinity. Then you will ho happy if you
live and always have within your reach the
means of a good support. Rich or poor, no
matter, do something useful and you will
never repent it, even should you live to the
