MR. CALHOUN ON OREGON.
Had it not been for the conservative course
hof the Carolina Senators in the ' last ! Congress,1
(says the Savannah .Republican,) the country
would at this moment be involved ma war with
England.; Two votes would have decided. the
question in the Senate, and passed the House
bill which provided for the immediate - occupa
tion 6f the Oregon territory by our Government.
Whatever rnay be .tfie result of theiconltroyer
sy, it isa matter of , congratulation .that those
.gentlemen had the wisdom, and the foresight to
defer, for a time at least, the necessity of an ac
tual resort to force J It remains' to be seen
whether the Southern wing of the Democracy
will regard their wise counsels, or ifollow the
Globe in its rabid and reckless course.
The speech of Mr. Calhoun in theSenatc, in
January, 1843, on the subject of Oregon, lately
re-published mcritingparticular attention in the
present state, of affairs between England and
America, we make several extracts from it.
Mr. Calhoun said : i
" Has the-time arrived when it would be wise
and prudent for us to attempt to assert and main
tain our exclusive right to the territory, against
the adverse and conflicting claim of Great Brit,
ain ? I answer, No, it has not ; and that for
the decisive reason, because the attempt, if
made, must prove unsuccessful against the rel
sistance of Great Britain. We could neither
take nor hold it against her ; and that for a rea
son not less decisive, that she could n a much
shorter time, and at far, less expense, concert
trate a far greater force than we could in the
territory. " I
" We seem to forget, in the discussion of this
subject, the great events which have occurred
in the eastern portion of Asia during the last
year, and which have so greatly extended the
power of Great Britain in that quarter of. the
Globe. She has there, in that period, termina
ted successfully two wars ; by one! of which
she has given increased quiet and stability to
her possessions in India, and by the other has
firmly planted her power on the easfern coast
of China, where she will undoubtedly keep up,
at least fbr a time, a strong military and naval
force, for the purpose of intimidation and
strengthening her newly acquired possession.
The point she occupies there on the western
shore of the Pacific, is almost directly opposite
to the Oregon territory, at the distance.of about
live thousand five hundred miles from the mouth
of .Columbia river, with a tranquil Ocean be
tween, which may be passed over in six weeks.
In that short time, she might place, at a moder
ate expense, a strong naval and military force at
the mouth of that river, where a formidable body
of men, as hardy and energetic as any on this
continent, in the service of the Hudson Bay
Company, and numerous tribes of Indians under
its control, could be prepared to sustain and co
operate with it. Such is the facility with which
she could concentrate a force there to maintain
her claim to the territory again.t oiirs, should
they be brought into collision by this bill.
I now turn to examine our means of con
centratiug an opposite force by land and water,
should it become necessary to maintain our
claim. We have no military or naval position
in the Pacific ocean. Our fleet would have to
sail from our own shores, and would havo to
cross the line and double Cape Horn-, in 56 de
grees of south latitude ; and, turning north, re
cross the fine, and ascend to latitude 46 north,
in order to reach the mouth of Columbia river,
a distance from New York (over the traightest
and shortest line) of more than thirteen thous
and miles, and which would requiref a run of
more than eighteen thousand of actual sailing,
on the usual route. Instead of six yeeks, the
voyage would require six months IJ speak on
the authority of one, of the most experienced of
ficers attached to the Navy Department.
"These facts are decisive. Wei could do
nothing by water. As far as the element is
concerned, we eould not oppose to her a gun or
a soldier, in the territory. I
"But, as great as are the impediment by wa
ter, they are, at present, not much less by land.
If we assume some central point in the State
of Missouri as the place of rendezvous, from
which our military force would commence its
march fbr the territory, the distance to the mouth
of the Columbia river will be about two thous
and miles; of which much more than a thous
and miles would be over an unsettled country, '
consisting of naked plains or mountainous re
gions, without provisions, except such game as
the rifle might supply. On a greatef portion of
this Ions march the! force would be liable to be
attacked and harrassed by numerous land war
like tribes. of Indians, whose hostilities might
be readily turned against us by the British tra
ders. To march such a distance, without op
positionVwould take upwards of one hundred and
twenty days, assuming the march tb! be at the
usual rate for military forces. Should it be
impeded by the hostilities of Indians,' the time
would be greatly prolonged. ; ! i il
' I now ask, how could any considerable
force sustain itself in so long a march, through
a region so destitute of supplies? A small de
4achmentrnight live on game ; butj that re
source would be altogether inadequate to the
support or an army. But, ' admitting an army
eould find sufficient supplies to sustain itself on
its march to the territory, how could it sustain
itself in an uncultivated territory, too remote to
draw. supplies from our settlements in . its rear,
and with the ocean in front closed against it-by
a hostile fleet ? . And how. could supplies be
found Jo return, if a retreat should .beccme ne
cessary ? ; In whatejer.yiew the subject, may
be regarded, I hazard nothing in assorting that
such is 4he difficulty at present on pur "part of
concentrating a torce in tne .territory: mat a
3 ew thousand regulars, aqvantageousiy lortinea
force to support them, could,' with; the" r aid r of
the employers, of theiiiuclson. liay v,onipany,
and the "co-operatidrf of the Indians underf its
influence, bid defiance'to any eflbrt we; could
make' to dislodge' them.'If ail other difllculties

ances, to so great a distance and over so many
obstacles, would be insuperable; Mir.:--
Havinar now made goo my first, position,'
that the attempt, at present, to assert and main
tain our exclusive claim to the territory, against
the! adverse claim of Great Britain, must prove
unsuccessful, if she resisted, it now remains to
inquire whether she-should resist. And here
let inesay, whatever hiabe the doubts of oth
ers, surely they who have, in this discussion, in
sisted so strongly on her power, her jealousy,
and her determination to hold the territory, can
not doubt that she would resist. It, indeed, pro.
voting language can excite her to resistance, or
if half which has been said of her. hostilie dis
position be; true, she not only would resist, but
gladly seize so favorable an occasion to do so,
while we are comparatively so weak and she so
strong in that Quarter. However unfavorable
thej time might be for us, for her it would be' the

wei believe! our title to be, that tho right to the
territory is in dispute between the two countries ;
and that, as certain as we regard our right to

of jadverse conflicting claims ; and we may be
assured, if we undertake to assert our exclusive
rights, she will oppose us by asserting hers ;
and if the appeal should be to force, to decide
between us at present, the result would be inev
itablethe territory would be lost to us. In
deed, this is so incontestable, that no one has
ventured to deny it; and there is no hazard in
asserting that no one will who understands the
subject, and does not choose to have the sound-

THE PUBLIC DOMAIN.
The President has already issued his
proclamations for very extensive sales
next slimmer and autumn, of the public
lands in the northwest, west, and south
west, embracing an aggregate of upwards
ofj five millions of acres.
jln Wisconsin territory, about 370,000
adres of choice lands, lying on and be
tween Fox and Wolf rivers, and immedi
ately contiguous to Green Bay and Lake
Wiunehago, will be brought into market
in October next. These lands embrace
some of the finest timber tracts in the Ter
ritory;! the soil excellent, and especially
suited for wheat,;"' the water privileges a
bundant, and ready, access to a market.
Many of the townships bound on the Fox
and Wolf rivers; and some of them are ad
jacent to the town of Green Bay. These
will beipeculiarly acceptable to a large
number 0f the people of the Territory,
now anxiously looking forward to the time
when they can possess themselves of val
uable farms at a small cost.
I In Iowa Territory, we discover the larg
est body j of land now under notice, con
sisting of upwards of two millions and a
third of acres. There are two sales Jo
take place at each of theland officesinthat
Territory, Dubuque and Fairfield, in the
months of September and October. These
sales include with considerable additions)
the bodies of land of which the sales were
advertised to take place in January and
February last, but which sales were, in
December last, ordered to be indefinitely
postponed.
. The first sale at Dubuque comprises 378,
000 acres of land situated on the Mako
queta river and its branches, at an aver
age distance of t went)'-five miles south of
the town of Dubuque, and extending west
from the Mississippi river about 40 miles.
The quality of the soil is good, with a suf
ficient supply of timber for farming pur
poses. The second sale embraces a body
of about 800,000 acres of fine land, well
timbered, commencing about twelve miles
west of Iowa city, and extending about
uumues io me norm, wiiii an average
width exceeding twenty miles. -These
lands are intersected by the Red Cedar,
Iowa and English rivers, said to afford a-bundant-water
power.
1 The two sales at Fairfield comprise up
wards of n million of acres, watered by
the Des Moines, which is renresented to be
a stream of unrivalled beauty, with a ra-
pid current, meandering through a pic-
ttiresque country. Also by the Checaque
Yvvith its allias, certainly less euphonious ,
ykunk) rfver, also represented as a beau- j
tiful stream. These are among the finest
lands of the Great West, well watered arid
timbered, and,1 like those in Wisconsin,
the locations are healthy, arid finely adap
ted to the culture of the small grains, with
excellent ranges for raising cattle; for
which a market can always be had by
driving them to the Mississippi. These
lands are said to be fully equal to those
heretofore offered in the eastern partof
tEesame district which are'now ail near.

LIFE OF HENRY C LAY.
1
The N. Y. Correspondent of the Cincin
nati Gazette, in a recent letter, gives the
following interesting notice of the docu
ments, &c, inever before published, from
which Rev. Calvin Colton is preparing a
Memoir of Mr. Clay. The work wilt be
looked for with great interest :
" Mr. Colton has passed the winter with
Mr. Clay, and obtained all the documents
necessary for a complete life, while ho
man rs more1 able to put them into shape
and order than he. Added -to this, Mr.
Clay has given up all the papers relative
to the great r bargain and sale" question.
They alone flbrm a hundred pagesof notes,
proving the statements made in the text.
These documents, Mr. Colt oil tells me,
make developlnents that arc perfectly as
tounding, and go to show that all the bar
gaining was on the side of Jackson and
his friends. It is proved by them . that
Buchanan came to Mr. Clay from Gen'l.
Jackson With a direct offer, and that Hous
ton also went to Roane with ailothor di
rect offer. ' The snarlinto which it gets
Buchanan, Jackson, Eaton, &c, is perfect
ly laughable. Jackson, in his after at
tempts to get out of the dilemma, when he
found that Clay was too noble to be bought,
annihilates Buchanan, and Buchanan-in
endeavoring to throw the burden from his
shoulder, drives the General to the wall,
while Gen. Eaton eats them both up. -The
disclosures exhibit the Jackson men
of that period who surrounded their favor
ite candidate, in a most ludicrous light,
while it fastens a blot on Buchanan's fore
head he will find it impossible o - wipe
out. Hitherto Mr. Clay has refrained from
making these disclosures out of regard for
Buchanan. But now as his life is to be
written for posterity, and heTs to take his
true position in the constellation of great
and good men, and his own life is draw
ing to a close, the call for every thing that
is needed to clear his character from the
aspersions made against it, is too loud and
imperious to be disregarded. His very
forbearance shows how well his enemies
know him. They felt they could trust to
his magnanimitv while they allowed a
charge to rest against him they could atj
any time destroy.

;.1 We have again to say -that Mexico has not
yet declared war against the United States, al
though rumors: were rife in town yesterday that -she
had done so. 4" Verbal communications fronv
some of the passengers byihe Creole represent
that toe general feeling at Vera Cruz is ia f.
vpr ot a war, and that the prevailing impression
there is that the Government will declare it so
soon as it finds itself in a situation 19 da so with

By this arrival wo hear not a word "more of
Mr. Shannon, tho American Minister.
Tho most interesting intelligence which wc
find relates to the fate 'ofiJSautaAnna and tho?o
involved in his overthrow A proposition has
beenxintroducedVin the Chamber of Deputies
isters who took part in issuing the decree of the ,
29lh of Jsovember.'cloaing the sessions' of Con- ; : 1
gress, may avoid a' trial 'Oponthe .condition of.
expatriating themselves for the term of ten years.
At the same time another proposition was sub.' '
mitted, that an absolute amnqsty should . bo7- -granted
to all those generals aiid other ofliccrs"
comprehepded in the xircular ofthe Cth of Jan- j J
uary, depriving them of their commands, &c, i y
eyen though they had been already sentenced. Y :
We-do not find that the Chambers hare acted j
upon these propositions, but that they are very i
likely to receive their approbation Ave entertain -r
no doubt.' The revolution having been io per- 1
fectly consummated throughout the entire coun j ' I
try, and the present Administration being sole, vj I
cure in their places, it would bo, an act of dignity
as well as clemency Aoeitendapardon to those .
who adhered to the last to the fortunes of Saa-"
ta Anna. The services bfA a large; number of ;
good officers will thus bo regained to the - Rc.
public. And I further to tran'quilizc the' public
mind neither outraging the' feelings of the yet '
numerous friends and partisans of Santa Anna, : -;
and at the same.. time appeasing. thc: demands '
for just ico against him it would appear to bo a j '
highly politic course to allow him to leave tho '
country, with those most "intimately associated
with his tyrannical acts7 It U a significant fact ; -that
the liberal pressfwhich has been hitherto - "
clamorous for vengeance, indulge 111 no com ,
ments upon the introduction cf the above pro ,'-
positions. Had they been ofieredbeforo thoj ;
news of the success of the annexation of Tcxi" -as,
there-would have been a :foudan4 general
It cannot be doubted that it is the policy of the -Mexican
Government, in view of hcr'diflbrcncnr
with the United States, thus to heal all interual
wounds, and concentrate thet feelings of all 1
classes and parties upon resistance lo..anncxa-r-i-tion.
