commendation to settle the question amicably, by
compromise, is substituted.


Taking all these circumstances into considera-
tlon, the tone Of the foreign news ami the passage
OF Senator Crittenden's resolutions in the Senate
We are Of opinion that this unfortunate question.
which has created more injury to commerce, and
excited more hostile feeling, than the whole OF the
territory in dispute is worth to either country, is in


fair way Of being disposed of satisfactorily to both
parties; and that too before the expiration Of six
months, uEless some continge ncies occur to mar
the prospect. One Of those contingencies is this
the House Of Representatives may not concur in
the resolutions passed by the Senate, and the war
party may still persist in asserting the American
claim to the whole OF the Oregon territory.


In the event Of such being the case, the whole
matter will be again thrown into the hands
Of Mr.. Polk. If then, Mr.. Polk should-dcspite
Of the passage of the resolutions in the Senate,
and the pacific tone Of the Parliament and
people of Great Britain-remain obsti nate, and
throw away the opportunity which is again afforded,
of resorting to compromise, q war will follow.
Although England il desrous Of peace, and in en-
tering into a war with the United States would
peril her existence, still the question has assumed
such shape, that in the eyes Of all Europe and the
whole civilized world, she would be compelled even
st such hazard, to engage in wsr with us, if the
ultra claims of the administration should be insisted
upon 1t would appear, then, that there ia an awful
responsibility resting on the chief magistrate Of the
United States. 1t may be said that James X. Polk
holds the peace Of the world in the hollow OF his
'hand. God grant he may be found equal to the
emergency.
