 DEAR SlR-The Oregon question is still the all-engrossing subject before the Senate, and now hope the notice will pass, though | have many fears. wish 10 have the notice pass, as the best, and, in my judgment, the only reasonable means of preserving the peace of the two countries No one can doubt (t appears to me- that the time has arrived, when the so-caled joint occupancy of Oregon must cease. Sinte the tide of our emigration has set in strong in that direction, all must see that a considerable body of our entefprlslng emigraats cannot get along with out law of some kind-indeed, they have alread y felt its necessity, and organized them selves into q species of government, and held meeting of the Legislature, created by their own authority for the occasion. Mir DAY. TON, of New Jersey, in his speech before the Senate, on yesterday, claimed that il was lmpolitlc to give the notice, because '.emi- grafton would eventually give us the coun- try" Mir. Dayton Is the first Senator that has made speech against the notice Whether this indicates any concert of action on the part of the Whig Senators, or only the sola- ted opinion of Mir Dayton, cannot now say. 1 fear the former MT. HAYWOOD spoke to-day, and took entirely neag ground. if understand him rightly, he claims that the President stands committed now, and has been at all times heretofore bound to accept compromise on the parallel of l9 deg, if Great Britain should propose it--that is, if she shall now, or at any time, say she will accept the rejected proposition of our Govern ment, that the President is bound, ''as an honest man and faithful President of this Republic" to settle it on the terms of his own proposition; and that the only object Mir. POLK had in withdrawing his proposition of compromise, after it had been rejected, was to extend the subject matter of negotiation 10 54 4D-Englaad having previously refused even to talk or negotiate about the country between 49 and 54 40; and this, Mr. Hay wood says, is the understanding of the Pre- sident, altho' he prolesses only to speak from tA tAarecord and not from any information de- rived from the President himself

 These views are wholly antagonistical to those of Mr. ALLEN, chairman of the com mite on foreign relations. AItogether, these differences in our party are highly injurious, and may, and, fear will, result III ultimate defeat. The whig Senators seem 10 enjoy our differences greatly.

 beg pardon for thus trcsPassing on your time and patience. Your friend,

 CHESTER ASHLEY. WH T.. WOODRUFF.
