PLAN OF RELIGIOUS UNION.
It appears from the British Journals, that the
late meeting in Liverpool, on the subject of un
ion of effort among evangelical Protestants of
different names throughout the world, was one
of very deep and thrilling interest. - Ten differ
ent sects of Protestants were represented at
the meeting ; and, a most free expression of sen
timents, the following cardinal doctrines were
agreed upon, With entire unanimity, as the ba
sis of union : -
1. The Divine inspiration and authority of
the Holy Scriptures.
2. The doctrine of the Trinity.
3. The utter depravity of human nature, in
consequence of the fall.
3. The incarnation and atonement of the
Lord Jesus Ch list.
5. Justification of the sinner by faith alone.
t
. 6. The work of the Holy Spirit in the con
version and sanctitication of the sinner.
7. The Divine ordinance of the Christian Min
istry, and the perpetuity of the sacraments of
Baptism and the Lord's Supper. i
8. The right of private judgment in the inter
pretation of the Holy Scriptures.
Tbe members of no denomination cornpro.
mised, in the slightest degree, their distinctive
principles ; but all recognizing the right of each
to inculcate his own peculiar sentiments, and
yet agreeing on those grand fundamental truths
deemed essential to salvation, they resolved on
a course of united action, which, it is believed.
will ere long result in something more than the
expression of harmonious sentiments or friend,
ly feelings.
Committees were appointed to take into con
side rat ion the heatings of various resolutions,
adopted by this preliminary meeting, and to pre
pare, in detail, a plan tor the great convention
of all evangelical denominations to be held iu
in next June.---2V. Y. Cour. 4 Enq

Nothing of great interest, with the cx
ception of the introduction of the follow
ing resolutions on the Oregon question.
and the passage of a resolution admitting
Texas into the Union as a State by the
House of Representatives, has occurred in
this body. After its adoption by the
House, it was sent to the Senate, where it
was read twice and referred to tho Com
mittce on the Judiciary. There seems to
be no doubt as to its passage through the
Senate.
In the Senates, the follow in r resolusions
were offered by Mr. Atchison of Mo.;
Resolved, That the Committee pn Trrito
ries inquire into the expediency of establishing
a ten itorial government in the territory of Or
egon.
Resolved, That the Committee on public land:
lie instructed to inquire into the exjiedienry of
granting lands to actual settlers in Oregon.
Resolved, That the Committee on MiKtarv
A flairs be instructed to inquire into the expedi.
ency of establishing Blockhouses, Stockadi
Forts and Military Posts upon the frontier of
the Missouu and I tem nl Pass of the Itockv
Mountains and from thence through the Oregon
'JVriitory, to the mouth of the Columbia River.
The resolutions lie over lor one da v. anil may
call forth a debute upon the main question on
Monday next.
Mr. Allen obtaind leave to introduce bi joint
resolution authorising the J'resident togivetwi
years' notice to Great Britain relative to Ore

it was laid over.

Resolved,. That, while we would not by. any
expressions of preference on mr part, restrict
the' freest-exercise f discretion on the part; of
our nelegates, in the eilonnnnce 1 the duly
assigned to them, we cannot erinit the ic;t.
siitn t'i pais without' expressing our injt tin
qualiried approval of t lit ndtiiitii.triitiin of the
present cncumlient of the gntrimtoiial Chair,
and our most perfect and abiding eoiifhleuce in
the soundness of his po!itical principle!, and
in the integrity of his political-character,- and
our fullest conviction of his superior fitness for
the inijwirtant office which he now fills. . -
Resolved, That the encouragement liy Con
gress of such brioches of domestic industry ti
the general safety, necessity or fonvenience
m;iy requirn to bo exercised iviihiu our nation
al borders, is not only a legitimate object per
milted by the letter, but u duty imposed by the
spirit of tho Constitution of the United States.
Resolved, That to impose duties uponr imports
and not thereby to-affect in any degree the in
dustrial relation of tho country, or to vaty the
profitableness of any species of em-Ioyimnt, is
demonstrably impossible ; and that therefore,
any attempt to effectuate such an object, is but
idle and chimerical.
Resolved, That the experience of the Govern
ment in committing its funds to the safekeeping
of leg treasurers, has rendered it clearly appa
rent that such a policy h nt adapted tjhe ge
nius of our officehohliug countrymen, and that,
therefore, a further extension of the same, wuuld
at the present moment, be hardly politic.
Resolved, That while in any controversy I?
I ween our own and a foreign government, the
patriotism of the great Whig Party would shew
itself to Iks an overpowering sentiment, in which
all minor considerations would far n time, be
merged, slill ihey will never fail to protect
against that policy which seeks by such means,
to bring support to an otherwise sinking caue.

CALIFORNIA.
We hav placeil before our readers ru
mors fromnd 'liferent sources, which seem
to leave little doubt that one of principle
objects of the mission of Mr. Slidell to
Mexico vs to prosecute a negotiation for
the annexation of anoiber foreign territo
ry to the. United States. The. New, York
" Morning News" of Tuesday supplies
some particulars of the proposed negotia
tion, which considering the relation of
that paper to tbe Admist ration, are supj wis
ed to Ite of some aulbenticiiy. We there
fore place them liefore our readers, as

result will not be brought about without a
handsome compensation to Mexico for, her

relinquishment ot territory. Uur claim
against her for indemnification to our cit

likeif as this to securjn its full and iiiime
diato" satisfaction. Indeed, sofar as the
consideration which w may give her is
balanced oy t bis account, it may be said
to amount, to, nothing : for, if w civo
