Empire, which would render Oregon one
Of the most thriving districts on the
whole Of the western coast. England
cannot stand by with her arms folded, and
allow such an invasion upon her rights as


the the expulsion of a hardy and frugal
race, long established at the mouth Of the
Columbia. But the .neigboring States,
too, are also threatened. California is al
ready doomed to form twenty-ninth or
thirty ninth state of the Union; Mexico,
will follow, for in that wretched country
there is no power Of resistance; and unless
England manfully oppose the very first
encroachments, she may reckon upon the
occupation Of Cuba, and the attempted
conquest Of all the Britlah West India is
lands. Our obiectis not to create alarm
or to excite hostile feeling in America,
for we state only facts about which there
can be no dispute, and which are even
openly avowed by certain organs Of lead
ing parties in the United States; our OBJ
ject is to put England on her guard, to
encourage her government to maintain
her rights, and to remember that no nation
ever yielded to unjust claims without be-
ing compelled to yield fifty more, or resist
at last when the fit opportunity had been
lost, and the strength and insolence ofthe
aggressor We're increased by the acquisi-
ton of unlawful wealth. For many reas-
ons both countries may regret the alterna-
tive, but it is neither consistent with the
policy, nor the power, nor the honor Of
England to put offthe evil day. aa
