''lf our controversy respecting Oregon had
been with any other than Christian nation,
could not quote from that book; if we were IN
dispute with the Chinese about the territory II
would De different question. So il is differ
ent question between us and the savages, VINO,
II anybody, have now the rightful occupation
OF the country; because they do not believe the
book"


And because Mr.. Adams believes "The
Book" and the Red man does not, he, Mr.. A.,
has not scrupled to countenance the whole
sale robbery OF the Red mans lands. Thus,
either Way-it is the custom with some very
deyout people-Mr. Adams makes profit of
his Bible And thus war for Oregon would
be no other than Holy War-a war declared
upon the strength of sacredtex Christians
would blaze away at one another on the au-
thority OF the Scriptures; with, perhaps, TO tic
kle Mr.. Adams, "Peace on earth, and good
will to men" painted on American cannon.


And Mr.. Adams, friend Elihu, will 90 to
his Bible 10 settle this matter of disputed land.

men Of Abrams cattle and the herdsmen Of
Lots cattle, and the Canaanite and the Perez
zte dwelled then in the land


"And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no
strife, pray thee, between me and thee, and
between my herdsmen, and thy herdsmen, for
we be brethren


"Is not the whole land before thee seper-
ate thyself pray thee from me: if thou wilt
take the left hand then will go TO the right
or if thov depart to the right hand then |, will
60 to the left"
