ted notice with preamble, and your vote is high


y auspicious to the preservation of peace. II you


had passed naked notice, such notice would have


been in itself no cause OF war, nor even OF offence


But ~ you had been willing to take that desperate


hazard of naked nodce'-thst is, the desperate


hazard of a notice which was lin itself no cause OF


war, nor even of offence, then, after taking that
desperate hazard, yos would have gone on to vote


measures which could have tended to make war in
eyiable!"


Can seE-contradiction go any farther than this


Yes, there is one step farther-one yet lower deep
These other baleful measures which ,oOuA haus been
pOfsd If Congress had voted the inofensiye "naked
notice" are the very measures recommended by a
President who "inisnds peace" and they would have
been so voted, according to the lntegencer, by a
"House Of Representatives which there il every rea-
son to believe opposed the Ssnas's mod featOn from
the first only for FORMS sake, and was at any time
willing to have given it, had the members fell al
liberty 10 indulge their inetnations!"


The notice being now determined on, we most
respectfully appeal to Congress to follow up this
first great step of the Presidents recommendations,
by carrying out the other measures recommended by
him in relation to Oregon. The House of Repre-
senatives have already performed their duty. They
have passed bill, by vote of more than three to
one, for carrying out these measures. We venture,
with all respect, TO express the hope, that the
Senate may also soon take them up and pass
them They embrace the extension Of our jursdic-
ton and laws citizens in Oregon; their pro-
lection on their route of emigration to that distant
region by armed force, and the erection Of block
houses; the establishment Of mail, and the regua.
ton Of our intercourse with the Indian tribes.
These measures are all embraced in the bill
which has already passed the House Of Rep
-esentatives. The sanction, OF the Senate, and the
signature Of the President are still wanting to give
hem the force Of law. The notice is but the first Of
he measures Of the administration on the Oregon
question. The other measures embraced in the bill
" the House are alike earnestly recommended by
he Executive. We trust that they will be passed
Without unnecessary delay, and without being
masculated by any unwise or unnecessary amend
nents. We trust soon to be able to congratulate
he country upon the consummaton of these import
mt measures We trust, also, that whatever differ
noes Of opinion may have existed to the form OF
he resolutions of notice. the democratic party in the
senate may go forth united, they were in the
House of Representatives, in the support Of these
measures.
