care we to understand that our cotem-
porary, across the way, prefers war. any
how, TO an honorable peace. Haukeye Of
Thursday. 4a#


You are to understand 1st, that your CO.
temporary across the way does not prefer
war to an honorable peace. 2d. That a
a peace bought or preserved at the expense
Of yielding up part Of Oregon to Great
Britain would be dishonordbie peace.
Sd. That, therefore your cotchpcrary, the
editor of the Gazette, prefers war TO yield
ing any part of this Territory. 4,h. That
our nation has declared, again and again,
through the mouth of her Congress and
otherwise, that our title to the uhole of
Oregon is "clear and unquestionable, J" and
therefore, by yielding up any part of this
Territory we should confess one of i,po
things; either lst, that we do not believe
ourselves, or ID, that believing ourselves,
we dare not act up to our belief for fear Of
trouble with Great Britain. 9th. The ed
itor Of the Gazette believes it the duty Of
our. Government, when she has once as
certained her title paramount to that Of any
other, and especially when it is 'clear and
unquestionable," to make s'no compromise
but at the cannon's mouth"


Now will not the editor of the Hawkeye
do us the kindness to answer eapiicihy
the following interrogatories:


lst. Do you believe our title to the
,chole of Oregon good against the world?


I'd. Should you prefer to accept the most
liberal offer England has made, to war
with that Power?


Sd. Would you give to England all
down to lat. 20 deg. north, rather than to
have war?


4th. Would you, upon any conditions,
allow England to have the free navigation
Of the Columbia river? et.Ft eun


9th. II war does come with her, will
you or not, 60 in for taking possession Of,
and ever after keeping the whole of Ore
gon? se -''"r


9th. Inthe event of war with England,
would or would you not be in favor Of
driving Great Britain out Of the Canadas,
and taking that whole country under the
jurisdiction Of the United States, and maxi
ing it always after q portion of the Amer
lean Union? 'a Hi Ahh1 ntis sfit
