MR. CLARK'S SPEECH,
On the Oregon question delivered in
the House pf Representatives, Febru
ary 6, 1846, on the resolution of no
tice to Great Britain to abrogate the
convention oj joint occupancy relative
to the Oregon territory. j
. (continued from last No.)
On our side, also, there is much which
has transpired of late which is calculated
to prepare the minds of the. people for,and
to hasten on, a conflict between theae two
great and powerful governments. Irrita
tation has succeeded irritation, and aggres
sion has followed aggression, until our peo-1
pie seem to be not only ready, but many
of them anxious, fbrja conflict with that
haughty power. In the first place the
people of the United States look upon
Great Britian as having overreached us in
the settlement of the northeast boundary,
and that, too, by fraud and imposition.
They have not forgotten that her states
men held up in the British Parliament, be
fore the face of the whole world, a map
which was in their possession during the
negotiation, in order to show what they
had gained over us by management and
art, and as an evidence of our ignorance or
of our submission! This fact has sunk

ference with a colony planted Under our
auspices on the coast of Africa her claim
ing, and in some few easel exercising, the
right of searching our trading vessels in
the 'Mediterranean and last, though not
least, her avowal of a determination to pre
serve the balance of power on this continent
a determination which she has already
commenced to enforce among the South
American .States, and which, at some con
venient time, if; W$ 'fait tioV td act with de
cision and firmness, she will seek to ex
tend to Us. It is in V.eW of all these con-!

But sir, even amongthose who are agreed

be asked, what is novv the ? state " 1 of - the
case? Why, sir, we are now further from

it be not true that they have nearly or quite
all of them gone, there since the spring of
1844, when the democratic party 3 in con
vention at Baltimore declared our title to
the whole of Oregon? and if it benot true,
that yet a larger portion of these 0 have
gone there since the people of this coun
try, in the great popular election of 1844,
ratified and confirmed this declaration?
Mr. Greenhow states, in his ( History of
Oregon, that so Jate as , the, tail of 1843
there were but four hundred Americans in
the whole territory. These, .then, are the
assurances that ha ve carried them there as
surances that the country waa ours, that it
was to be taken under our .own dominion,
&that they would be protected by our laws
Refuse now to give the notice, and there-
oy maniiesi a qisirusi 01 our iiue, or a
backwardness in adopting measures to
maintain it, and you will not only, in my
opinion, effectually arrest emigration thith
er, but that thousands of thQseu who have
already gone there .. will return , to ther
States. Or if emieration shall be contin-
