Very wel'; this was taken as the text of the
patfy, c suppose, throughout the canvass.
The people approved the doctrine, for they
elected the candidate of the oaitv who avowed
it. They also elected a democratic Congress
to carry that ''Resolve" into execution. The
29th Congress commenced its tession, with
anew President aud new Cnrres, on the
lt Monday in December, 1815. The Picm
dei.t sent iu his Message, tell ng Congress
that his early attention had been directed to
the negotiation on tho subject of Oregon,
which he found pending at Washington; that
every attempt at negotiation had failed, aud
that ' no compromie which ihe United States
ought to accept, could be effected." He
therefore withdrew the proposition which the
British minister had rejected, aid asseited the
American tight "to the whole Oregon terri-
tory,'' which he believed was -'maintained by
irrefrngablo facts and arguments."
