The N. York Evening Post closes some
spirited remarks on the Oregon question
with the following paragraphs:


We are well satisfied that this Oregon
matter. cannot be carried safely through
except by an administration sustained by
prudent, but decisive, support in each
house. No nation can deal with England
if it palters, or triHes, Or hesitates.
1t IS no such course that, in our ludg-
ment, will secure peace. 1t was no such
course that secured US from war with the
French in 1886. Great Britain cannot
but see that we are entitled to ports on the
Pacific. She cannot but see that the
49th parallel leaves her liberal share OF
the territory. She will see all this PLAIN
enough, if our government can command
support at home and respect abroad. But
she will neither see or hear, il she finds
that the administration cannot rally lis
own lrienos IN such an emergency as
this.


No one can out do us in devotion Of
peace. We despise in our souls the brag-
gart clustering to which, dayafter day, the
House of Representatives re.echoes; but,
in our Judgment, a firm policy is the only
way to prevent war.


The result will prove who is right. In
that result lie the lives, the fortunes, the
happinessof millions, and we can only ex-
press the devout hope that in these high
debates neither local interests nor personal
jealousy may be allowed to turn the scale.
Let all give the administration candid con.
struction--liberal support--and God save
the Republic.
