Senate, produced, without delay from the British
government, wholly new and more favorable con-
sideraton Of The American claim, which resulted in
a proposition from England involving prompt set
element Of the question, and a'concesson by the
British government of Terms substantially as fayora-
bic as in past years we had claimed, and more ia
yorable than those which our government had three
times offered TO accept; and


7th. That when this British offer, thus advantage
Gus, was submitted, the President, in fulhment Of
the pledge which he had given, refused for him
self 10 accept it, referred it to the Senate for their
previous advice, and al last consented to rafy it in
treaty, only in Difference To the advice Of more
than the constitutional majority of two-thrds of that
body.


We know that the rage Of party is blind. But
we confidently affirm that no honest and intelligent
mind can calmly review the array Of evidence which
We have thus presented, and fail to arrive at the
conclusion that the consistency of the President was
most scrupuousy preserved throughout the whole

titude brought the question prompt adjustment;
that if his course had heen fully sustained by the
Senate, that adjustment might have been even more
satisfactory; and that in conclusion in ofhe
perilous crises which American diplomacy has en-
eounlered in this generation, the President has in
hexiby kept his faith at once with his party, with

Who can believe, If our former propositions had
been renewed by the President without taking, he
did, the bold ground as to title, and to the
minauon ofthe convention by notice-that any treaty
so favorable the U States could have been Obtaned
And who doubt, il he had not taken this ground,
and if the negotiations had dragged on, and the
question IN dispute had continued to accumulate
fresh sources OF contention and issue between the
borJerers Of the the two countries in Oregon, that
the controversy would have ultimately terminated
in hostIites between two of the proudest and most
powerful nations on the globe?
