The AMERICAN TITLE TO ORE GoN.-In
Malte Brun's Geography-a standard work
book seventy-nine, is the following pas
sage:


" On the west side of the mountains
Rocky the Americans have an unques-
toned claim to the country from the 42d
to the 10th parallel; and more doubtful
claim, which is disputed by Russia, to the
country from the 49th to the Goth parallel


This celebrated geographer takes no no.
tice of the British claims. The dispute be-
tween the United States and Russia was ad-
justed some time ago, by mutual agree
ment in favor of the parallel of 54 degrees
and 40 minutes, as the boundary line be-
tween the respective territories of the two
nations.


Twenty-one years ago President Monroe
asserted the same opinions with regard to
our claims to Oregon that President Polk
put forth in his message. Mr.. Rush, who
was minister at the Court of St. James at
the time, in work published by him, says:


"When the message arrived in London,
the whole document excited great attention.
1t was upon all tongues; the press was full
Of it; the Spanish American deputies were
oveuoyed; Spanish American securities
rose in the stock market, and the safety of
the new States from all American coercionI
was considered no longer doubtful
