Mr.. EDITOR BENyKrT:-


Dear Sir-In your editorial you intimate that
he whig party will be an'i-war." Allow me 10
state that II Oregon Is the question, no true wing
can have scruples OF conscience how 10 act. we,
hope, consider that our rights encroached upon,
nation insulied, and country invaded, does away
with all party distinctions That we used our best
endeavors TO eeteat xaton in its present form,
II. e., contrary to the consent OF Mexico,-t ad-
init but, being defeated, we are bound, as Ameri-
cans, to support the dignity OF the Union, and to
defend it from aggression, night or wrong. Oregon
we know to be our own, il any but the Indians
own it. Does not Sir r. Peel prove himself false,
when, in one breath, he endeavors TO show that we
have no claim, and in the other treats ola treaty of
Joint occupancy! Would England form treaty of
occupancy with nation which has no right or
claim TO territory?


We appear, ct this time, to be surrounded by diff,
6culnes. Let but one course be adopted by both
parties, (for myself, am Willingly in case Of war,
to organize vOunteers-not Tor one tour, cam
paign, or year, but tor the whole war. The revo-
luton, and late war of 1912, show that short
enlistment Of volunteers was attended by serious
evils, and, in many csses, disaster. Whole COM
panes moved of the field OF battle, because their
terms expired on that day, and produced, ottimes,
serious panics Men who love their country will
and ought TO sacrifice all BUSINESS and party to
great effort,-the defeat OF all our enemies, " and
nothing else" Yours, &c. A WIG.
