He says: Since, the speech of Mr. II jy vood in the Senate, ine cnampions lor "an 01 uregon or war seems to have fled( the field. ' The impression is nlmost universal that neither Senators Allen nor Hanne gan speak the opinions of Mr. Polk, while "a great majority of the people stun to think that Mr. Hay wood speaks by authority. I know M r. Polk .. 1 1 f ..II C I . ,, Well. I. too, have an opinion of my own, and, with your permission, will express it. Mr. Polk is what is tenned "a close-mouthed man." He confides in few: perhaps when he can avoid it. might say ii no man, 1 cannot make myself belter understood, than by staling a supposedCase. Mr. Polk has started for a re-election tollies-Presidency. The attempt to deny lhs fixed act is. puerile. I le has attemp ted t play the game ofnon-committalism, but( it will not do; and, therefore, instead or non-com' initial, he is dutbif committed. When he con verses with the war-raction he tells them we are entitled to " the whole" of Oregon ; that pur claim is indisputable, &c. Ayhen he converses with the friends of peace and compromise, he" inquires. Would it not be better, admitting our title to be good, to make some sacrifice rather than plunge the country into a sanguinary war, &c. Thus, without any direct committal to either section of the Locofoco party, making an impression on both that he favors their views. This, I have no doubt, is Mr. Polk's position, and a most dan gerous position il is. I ask, what is lo be the effect upontjielres'deiit ofbis state of public affairs ? If he cannot, and that soon, escape from the dilemma in which he has placed himself, he is politically a ruined man. As to the mode and manner, his own friends must advise him. Of one thing I can assure him. The people a very large majority of the people are opposed to a war.
