 Dr. Mclaughlin. who Is a very courteous, intel ligen and generous nan, oi grea, wealth, and ehel factor of the H. B.

N. latitude their northern boundry, that the H. B. Co.,, talk and act otherwise | in Oregon.

 | That England will never give up inch of land north of the Columbia, if she help it, IS very | certain; and Dr. Mclaughlin last spring went so
