The Washington Union of the 9th instant has
an able article OH Oregon, to which we cordially
subscribe. The Editor opens as follows:


"THE WHOLE OF OREGON, OR NoNE-khiS is
the only alternative as is>ne of territorial right
We wholly DENY the break in the American title
at latitude 40 deg We hold that our title from
AZ deg. to "a deg. 40 min. is one lille. and. as
we believe, perfect title against all the world
As the question has been discussed for quarter
of century between US and England. not
aware of one rgumcnt-scarccly of one phrase
purportjnr to be an argumcnt--which carries our
title up to 49 deg. and there stops We claim as
matter of right the territory drained by the Co
lumbia river In the view of the law of nations
this territory being unoccupied has its distinctive
character and unity one region in the fact that
it is so drained And as one region, VIC either
own it, or we do not own it."


The Editor is right when he says the dcmoc-
racy of this country will stand to its word. The
President will be sustained, and the arrogant!
claims of England will be met as they should be.
Thus much as TO Oregon.


But there is another matter which would
bring to the notice or consideration Of the Union,
to wit the present hostile attitude of Mexico to-
wards the United States. Is Mexico TO be per-
nlitted 10 remain substantially in state of to-
wards US, to be allowed to insult and dcnounce
our government by manifestos, 10 force US to keep
five thousand troops at Corpus Christi at an in
creased expense to the War Department. while at
the same time she owes our citizens large sums oi
money! If this state of things should continue
through the ensuing session of Congress it may go
on Indefinitely, or cease only when Mexico choos
es Contemplate and weak we know she is, but
would Congress and the President permit Eng
land or any leading power to play with impunty
such game as Mexico is playing2 Doubtless
tcntion of Congress, and we have only to add the
hope that such steps will be taken as will most
completely rebound to the honor and welfare Of
the Republic.
