We have not the room, at present. to say
as much upon this subject as we could de.,
sire, or enlarge upon its diffeient bearings.
At another time we shall dwell more at
length upon Houston's coeduct We can
- not close, however, without el atitla nu/ be.
lief that the indirect call inade by Houston
• upon foreign Governments, to st ize the

the latter and brought it safe into Texan

Sam Houston will ascertain his own impo-1

Oregon Territory.
We have received from a Committee of
gentlemen ntCincinnati, a letter informing
us that it has been determined to hold a
Convention in that city on the 3d, 4th and
sth days of July next, for the purpose of
urging upon Congress the necessity of to
king imutediate possoission of Oregon Ter-'
ritory, by the Government, and 'to adopt
such measures as may seem most condu.
cive to its immediate and effectual occupa.
tion, whether the Government acts or not
in the matter.
This Oregon question is one that has
attracted much attention of late, and the
rapid en ,- roachments that have been made
by the our r in that guar..
ter, shod admonish the government to
attend to it at tor t e, and riot to postpone it
until a porti )n o f otir fairest territory is
stolen fr , m us by the same power that has
bullied or chidaelecl us out of so large a
slice of the eastern boundary. To Ore
gon the eyes of thousands of adventurous
men are now turned as a fair field in which
I to employ their:
,en terprize. but they are
reluctant to venture until they know that
the government wi l extent: its arm to pro
tect the settlers from the taggres,ions of
the subjects of England, who have already
taken possession of a portion of the terri
tory. We think that at the next session
of Congress this matter will be fully con
sidered, and such means ad ioted as will
pre elude the possibility of any:difficulties
arising as to the right of possession here
after .
For several sessions past, Senator Linn,
of Missouri, has,"with praiseworthy zeal,
called up kit's question, and endeavored to
induce Congre'ss to take some notice of

Crime in England.—According to a
work recently published by M Grey, late
member of Parliament firm Manchester,
etimes against property, such as theft, rob
bery, &e., have for a long time constantly
increased in England. In this class of
crime, that country is seven times ❑lore
vicious than Sp;.in, and three times more
vicious than France, and still growing
worse. The aristocracy propose to remi
edy the evil by a more extensive moral
and religious education. This may have
some effect, but a Starving people will not
listen very attentively to moral lectures.
The real remedy is to b! fuind in the
universal diffusion cf the rudiovnts of lit-
cfsary and scientific education, in equality
of political rights, the reduction of the ex
penses of the government, the taxation of!
wealth rather than consumption, ard the
repeal of (the corn laws and other restric
tions on trade, as well as of the law of pi i
nsogeniture. There are few countries in the
. -
world which produce a greater amount in
proportion to population than England.—
The curse of the country is the gross ine
(polity of distribution, arid a government
en organized that the preponderating in--1
fineries is generally favorable to the per
pet cation of that inequality.

that his — neighbors telt him govern
ment should adhere to;iOlne course of pole
icy, and that if our rulers determine, either
to "cool us, warm us, freeze us, or scorch
us," they should declare their intentions
and abide by it. Stability in the policy
of our government, is unquestionably of
the last importance to national prosperity,
' but we are utterly unable to learn how
the course of the vital currents of busi-
ness can be made to depend upon the acs
tion of the government. It, is a doctrine
of federalism which we hoped to have seen
- exploded ere this, that these currents are
to be "warmed" or "frozen" at the pleas
ure of the President and Congress. The
opinion cannot he too wide!y spread; that
the prospects and success of individuals
in business, depend upon themselves
alone, and not upon the whims and ca.
prices of the National Legielature, which
is often controlled iy men incapable of
managiog their own business concerns, and
much less those of the whole nation. We
w.iuld -wish to see business and politics
separated at once and forever. Congress
should not presume to exercise the tree
mendous and dangerous power of legisla
luring with the view to unsettle nr change
the occupations of the people. Nor should
the people nurse the fallacious idea that
government alone can withhold or dispense
"good times."
Don't believe it.—A whig paper says that
a democratic orator in Tennessee, is in the
habit of assailing the character of Gen
Washington, denying him the possession
of qualities as a soldier and a statesman,
and calling him a federalist! What can
he mote absurd than zo suppose that, were
there a man to be found entertaining such
opinions', he would deda re them publicly.
