Kesolved, &c 1 lm by the conven-
lion concluded the twentieth day of ()c

between the United SuttS of Ameiica
nd the king of the United K'ugdoin ol
Great Britain and Iieland, for (lit
period of len yea.'s, and afterward! in

any claim which either of the parties

and with this further provisions in the
second article of the said coivention of
ihe sixth of August, 1S27 that eilhei
party might abrogate and annual said
convention, on giving due notice of
twelve months to the other contracting
pat ty- that it has now become desira
ble that the respective claims of the li
nked States, and Greet 77ritian should
uo ueiumeiy seined, and that said ter
ritory may no longer than need be re
main subject to the evil consequences ol
the divided allegiance of its .American
mJ British population, and of the con
fusion and conflict of national jurisdic
tions, dangerous to the cherished peace
and good understanding of the two coun'
'ries. And, therefore, that steps be ta
ken for the abrogat ou of the said con
vention of the sixth of August, 1827, in
the mode prescribed in its second arti
cle, and that the attention of the gov
ernments of both countries may be the

And be it further Resolved, That the
President of the United Slates be, and
he is fc ercby authorized, at his discre

The vote upon the resolutions will' be
found in the Washington letter. They
omit the part which specified thai the
President should not give the notice un
til after the adjournment of Congress,
and leave ihe giving of it, the time, &c
to bis discretion.
The passage of (he resolution is con
idered highly favorable to the preser
vation of peace. It certoinly present?
the matter in the least objectionable
form lo Great Britian, and gives that
government the positive assurance that
the United States tike this step not in a
spirit of hostility, but lo effect an ami
cable adjustment of all difference in dis

E. II. Baldy, Esq. Chairmr.n tf the
Committee, reported the following resolu
tions, whii h were unanimousy, adopted:
Whereas, we believe that the territory ly
ing between 51 48' and 49 north latitude
and extending from the summit of the Rocky
Mountains to the Pacific Ocean, known as
il.n flrpoon lenitorv. is pari and parcel of
these Unitpd Stales, and that our title to
the same is as 'clear and unquestionable' as
to any oihcr portion of our soil- And
whereas, a claim to this territory has been
asserted by a nation whose footsteps on the
road to territorial aggrandizement and uni
versal empire are stained with the life's
blood of millior.s of victimsour ancient
ruler and oppressor, our present rival and
negotiations have grown out of this claim,
long continued in duration and intricate
involved in their character and pending
ihese negotiations, and lo afi'ord time to ef
fect a settlement, a right of joint occupancy
in the country in dispute, was agreed upon
between the government of the United
ytates and that of Great Britain; and an oc
cupation by a political incorporated compa
ny composed of her citizens, is now claim
ed by Great Britain to have converted her
claim into an absolute li;l: to the'snil; and
the lime has an i veil when a scllleincnl ol
this question is imperatively called for, and
jl is highly proper that the right of joint
occupancy fchould be lermin iled, and the
parlies thrown back tintiii their original ter
litoriul rights; and the President in his an
uual message at the commencement of the
present session of Congress, ncointnended
that notice be given to Great Britain of llif
intention of this government to abrigale the
treaty of sixth ol .August. 1827, and lo ter
minate Ihe joint occupancy of the Oregon
territory provided for by that treaty, lht.i
our laws be extended over tl.a territory, and
our citizens be encouraged to emigrante
thither, and protection be nfl'oriln J to them
or, the journey; and the President, in an
swer lo a call of ihe Senate, did on the 2 1th
of Airch lart declaro that there were cir
cumstances in our negotiations with Great
Britain which rendered necessary an in
crease ofour forces by land and eea; all
which measures are emenently w ise and
heartily approved of by this meeting.

POLK, in the conduct of the negotiali&n

that in his avowed determination not to

on that subject.
Kesolved, That whilst we earnestly dc
ptecale war as a great evil, sincerely hope
that hostilities between ourselves and Great
Britain may not grow out of our present dis
pute, yet, that we cannot close our eyes,
to the possibility ol such an event, thai uq
think the present extensive warlike prepar
ations making on the part nf Grant Biilaia
imperatively call upon us lo ;utunr coun
try into a complete and lhnrotijli stale cf do
fence; that we approve of ihe reccmmciula
lion of the President's Message of the 52 4 ill
of March, 1810, in regard to the defences
of the country, and that wedo most heartily
hope that its suggestions may be promptly
carried into cfTeci by the people's represen
tative. On motion of A. M. Gangewer, Esq,
Resolved, That the Chairman of this
meeting be requested In forward a copy of
these proceedings lo the Presidml of tho
United States, James K. Polk, to tin Sec
retary of Stain, Hon. J a ires Buchanan, ami
lo out Senators and Representatives in Con..

The Secret Service Money. The call
of Mr. Ingersol fur copies nf certain papers,
in relation lo tho expenditure ol ihe secret
service fund, has elictcd nothii.gTlie Presi
dent, has answered the call so far as lo trans
mil ail public papers, covering fony or
fifty pages, declining to disclose the partic
ulars of the expenditures as injurious to
the public service.
Tlie Foreign intercourse Acl t.l 1S10, in
pursuance of which information was com
municated, was seated.
The law n q.nri'd the public items to ba
given publickly, and prive iierns to be sta
ted privately. The President's certificate
only was required lo be presented to llio
accounting ulTn-er to secure the payment af
the same. Had the public items lprn
called for :hey would have been com
municated with great pleasure. But tho
secret expenditures cannot be mado public
without injury to the public interest. Mr.
Polk says the question is whether tho ros.
olution can be answered at all with propri
ety As a generall lule, it should not be
done, and whether it could be done under
any circumslancns or not is a subject for
icrious consideration. The President may
keep the infor naion in his own hands if
he chooses, in which case the items do nof
become public records by being filed awav
They are nor" seen by the accounting Mli
