Extrac, of letter from gentleman at Washington


merchant of this city.


1t strikes me that the mercantile interest OF your
city feel TOO secure upon the subject OF relations
with England. There is not well informed man
here who does not believe that England will fight
and fight long before she yields the five Northern
degrees of Oregon. Therefore, when MIR. Charles
J. Ingersoll says all of Oregon and no war will fol-
low - he does not mean what he says. Why this de-
ception 1t is the basis of another. When the terri
bic calamity overtakes US, which may Heaven avert
this same Mr. l. will turn round and eSclaim sure
" England had no cause for war and she alone Is
the aggressor.


Be not too ready to denounce the course of Mr.
Adams Mr.. .Darragh, Mr.. Gddings and other Wings
upon this subject They will be sustained not only by
their immediate constituents but by the whole North
with perhaps the exception of the Commercial In
ierest of the Atlantic Cities.


Mr. Calhoun will. as heretofore, be promptly floor
ed To the Wings he has more than once prov.
ed traitor. and they will be slow to follow hs
lead the Van Buren, Benton and Wright interest,
ever jealous of him have noted his appearance at
the Memphis Conventon-the reception he met with
every where the South, and they will not be swift
to ceme TO his aid.


This Oregon movement was made with reference
to ls45 and the disappointment thus far is with the
movers" The BRITISH Wigs" do not make their
appearance as was expected Yours, &c
