,Horning Post. THOS PHILLIPS & WM. H. SMITH, EDITORS PITTSBURGH, THURSDAY. JUNE 12, ]845 Tea DILMOC R• RIC R►ettw TOR JUNIC, has come to band. There is one quality in this Review, which, kisses)* to as, is not possessed by any other in the country, and which evidences the great number and surpassing talents of the wilier, who contribute to its pages—we mean the certainty of finding, in every number, articles prepared by master hands. and of uncommon interest and value. It is plain from the tone and character of the Review, that the editor 1714111 have at command a rich store of literary wealth frost which to select at pleasure, for he never puts forth a number which could he cast aside as dull ur un- interesting. The first article is upcn an all engrossing topic, The Oregon Qtrestion, and it contains, in a brief space, much matter of - the highest importance—indeed, it is indispensable that every American, who takes any in serastin knowing the merits of the dispute with Great 13rltabs, should be conversant with the facts therein 1. trirth. -The name "Oregon" is taken from the river which, long before, its discovery, was supposed exist be. Yana tbst-ilbeity Mountains, and was first used by Jon athan Carver. of'Connecticut. Whether Mr Cis the author of the name, or where be got it, cannot be now determined. The stream was not actually seen by any !reveller, till 1792.. The climate of Oregon is drier and milder by many degrees than on the Atlantic side, in the same latitudes—but of the soil, different accounts have been given. . The writer proceeds to discuss the respective claims of England and the U. S. to Oregon, and lays down the rules of public law, by which the question of right, in this ease will be judged. They are these: 1. That in respect to newly discovered countries, 'the 'first discoverer has the prior right to occupy, pro vided be dots so within a reasonable time. What is a reasonable time depends upon the nature of the country, the uses to which it may be applied, and the yams of mankind in respect to it. If, for example, it were a rich West India island, the first discoverer ' , could not rightfully prevent other nations f•uni occupy lags* cultivating it if he did not see fit to doso him- , self. If on the other hand it w ere a remote barren is land, there would be no necessity for immediate occu pation. • 2. That if the discoverer does not occupy within this reasonable time, he is deemed to have abandoned his right, and the next discoverer stands as if he had been the first, and so on though any number of discov erers. 3. That the discovery of a river be deemed the discovery of its source and branches, and of the Coun try drained by it. 4. That all treaties and engagements between gov ernments, of an executory nature, are annulled by a subsequent war. He then proceeds to the facts. Balboa, a Spaniard, discovered the Pacific Ocean in 1513. In 1543, Ferre lo, a Pilot in the service of Spain, penetrated to the 43d degree of N. latitude along the North-west coast, or what-is now called Oregon. The English allege that Sir Francis Drake sailed as high as the 48th de. pee, in 1579, thirty six years afterwatds. He did not land, however, nor did any Englishman set foot on I that shore till near two hundred years afterwards, in (1778) when Cook sailed along the coast, as high as the 47th and 48th degrees, and stopped at Nootka sound. The Spaniards, hcwever. visited the country at least six times during that 200 years. The river I remained undiscovered. Vancouver, an Englishman, (in 1792,) sailed along the shore but concluded there was no river. Capt GRAY, an American, in the A merican ship Colu.nbia, discovered it on the 11th May, 1792. Although the existence of a river wos asserted and conceded, it was first discovered by Cant Gray. The other remarkable places on the -coast at'e the Straits of Fuca and Nootka Sound. De Fuca, a Greek pilot. discovered the first in 1592; Perez, the last, in 1774; both these men were in the Spanish service. The first overland visit to this country was made by M'Kenzie, in the English service, in I793—he pass ed to the sea at the parallel of 521 deg.—the second was made by Lewis & Clark, in 1805, in the American service. They traveled over a great portion of the country, and explored the river along its entire course to its mouth. The Spaniards, then, had the title to the coasts and conntry about Fuca's straits, and the A mericans had the same title to the intetior on and a bout the river Oregon; After the American war, the fur-trade sprung up in Oregon. In 1789, the Spaniards, who claimed the country, sent ships to dislodge the Russian traders, and to assert and maintain the paramount claims of Spain. They made a settlement at Nootke, (which they kept up till 1795,) and seized two British vessels that came to the coast trade. The first British settle went made by the British west of the Rocky Moun tains was in 1806, by Simon Fraser, in the 59th parall •el of latitude. No British subject saw the Oregon till 5 years after this, and after Astoria had been founded by American citizens. In 1810, Capt. Smith, of the ship Albatross, of Boston, attempted a settlement on the Oregon—but be soon left it. Astoria was founded at its mouth in 1811. This fort was captured by the "-British, but restored in 1818, in pursuance of treaty etipulations. It was agreed in 1818, and afterwards in 1 22; that Oregon shotild be occupied by the people of both nations without any way impairing the title of -either—one year's notice to be given by either party 'intending to abrogate the treaty. So it would seem that the first settlements were -made by Spain, the second by America, and the last by England. But the-V. S. have another claim, deri ved (rim the discoveries and settlements on the At lantic coast. The Charter to Virginia granted the -country along the sea coast 400 miles and through from ,sea to sea.—tin 1713, by the treaty of Utrecht, all the Spanish titles so territory, were guaranteed by Great Britain—and in 1763 the treaty of Utrecht was confirmed by . that power. In 1819, by the Florida ueste,Spain ceded to the United States all her rights , claims, turd pretensions to any territories (in the New World) north of the 42d parallel of latitude. The American title, then, is based oo the discos-. try of Balboa, in 1513—0 f Ferrel°, in 1593—0 f De Sues, in /594 of Perez, in 1774—0 f Capt Gray, in 1792—wh0 made maritime explorations--and by Lewis and Clark, in 1805—wh o went overland to and through Oregon. Such is the American tide by dis covery. As to occupancy we claim eerie r the settle ments by the Spaniards at Nootka, in 1788, and at the Strait of Fuca in 1795, of Astoria, &c. The British title is derived from the fact that in 1579,'Sir Francis Drake sailed along the coast as far as the 43d parallel, without landing --that Cook ex-1 plated the coast in 1793—and that Vancouver sailed along it in 1792. These are the sum of their disco verier—wthar first settlement was made in 1806, by Shrum Fraser. Besides this thread-bare woof of ti tle, they ask a joist sovereignty, end that only; and claim that “exclusive eloasistion shall he held in abey epee" [fiwever, on account of the Wootka Treaty with Spain, soon after the Spaniards broke up the trading business in 1729.

Tits Nenve CoNeztutiott.—This body met yes terday at the new Court House, for the purpose of nominating a ticket to be supported by those who ad mire their prinriples, at the next October election.— The Convention was small, there being but twenty del egates—regulars and slipts—lo represent all the wards, boroughs and townships of the two cides and the county. The following gentlemen were nominated for the Legislature: Francis Karns, of East Deer, James E. Sheridon, of Wilkins, R. H. Forrester, of Allegheny city Thomas Howard, of Pittsburgh After the nominations were made, Mr Forrester de livered a speech, "suitable to the occasion," in which he made some statements relative to Mr Big ham's course in the lest Legislatute, which that gen tleman, who was standing outside the bar, considea t ed a misrepresentation and contradicted the speaker .on the spot. A vote of Mr B.'s, which indicated that he considered all religious denominations on an 'trial ity in our state, was, we believe, the art to which Mr Forrester took exception. It is not tiurprising that he should; to approve of such an act would not be in character with the origin of the native party, and, of course, they will consider Mr Bigham or any other man who will dare to entertain such anti-Church burning sentiments unworthy their support. At theconclusion of the proceedings, a resolution was offered by Mr McLean, challenging the Whig and democratic candidates to meet their men on the stump and discus% the principles of their little party. After passing a resolution to publish their rroceed inga in the Age and American--overlooking the Gaz ette entirely—the twenty gentlemen put on their hats and went home, We regarded this convention es a very unfavorable indication for the growth of nativism in Allegheny county, but we are told, that the natives themselves affect to be in high spirits, and declare that they feel certain of polling 2000 votes for their ticket. Per haps they may; but we would like to know "Ishtar will they come from?" If, in the 35 districts, they could persitade but 20 &legates to attend their Convention, we apprehend they will have some difficulty in bringing the balance of the two thousand to the polls on the 2d Tuesday of October. LIBERATION MEETINGs.—We do not believe it pos sible for the Algerines of Rhode Island, to resist much longer the importunities of the people for the libera. tion of Governor Dorr. Their fears, if not their hu manity, will compel them to moderate their barbarity, and open his prison doors. The citizens are holding public meetings through the state, and demanding his release in tones that dare not he disregarded. If this demand came ft om democrats alone, we do not believe that the petty tyrants would regard it much, but it is sustained by the voices of many whigs who have be come disgusted at the heartless oppression of their leaders. If this feeling is permitted to increase, the Algerines fear that they will be aft ipped of their "brief authority," and cast forth as fit objects for the scorn of every honest man. We learn from the Ritude Is land papers that a meeting was held at Providence, on the sth inst., to take into consideration the propriety of holding a mass meeting on the fourth of July next. Addresses were made by Messrs. Parmenter, Banks and others, and for reasons stated in the Committee's report, it was deemed inexpedient to propose a mass meeting at that time. This, says the Republican Herald, we think was a judicious decision, us it might create an excitement prejudicial to the liberation feel- , ing, which is now pervading the State, and which will make an almost unanimous call on the legislature for the honorable discharge of their pi isoner. Let the wishes and the feelings of the friends of Derr and liberation be expressed openly and distinctly in all parts of the State, but let not an impetuous zeal urge any of us forward to create irritation in the minds of those who hold the power, so as to afford them the slightest excuse for further retarding the humane and rightful act of liberation. Governor Jackson has decided not to call a special session of the Rhode Wand Legislature. This body will convene, pursuant to adjournment, on the 23rd lIMMI Tit MCNULTY CASE.—The case of Caleb J Mc- Nulty, the defaulting Clerk of the House of Rep resentativei, was brought up before the Cir cuit Court of the District of Columbi 1, on Monday last, upon a demurrer to the indictment. Mr Hoban, counsel for McN., was beard for an( hour; be conclud ed Monday morning at ten o'clock, and was re plied to by Mr Feudal!, District Attorney. The ground of the demurrer is that the money embez zled is not sufrviently described in the indictment. r"," "There was a reneontre Tuesday morning on the deck of the steamer Osceola, a little before she left the steamboat wharf fur Norfolk, between Mr John C Rives, late of the Globe, and Mr Cunningham, of the Portsmouth Chronicle." Mr Cunningham is a gentleman who has a most exalted opinion of hia own political purity, and he takes every opportunity to let those in whose company he may be, know that he is, perhaps, the only honest politician to be found within the boundaries of the twenty six states. GrThe city authorities of Salem offer a reward of $lOOO for the apprehension and conviction of tile per son or persoas who have been the cause of the fires of Monday and Wednesday nights, of last week. Would it not be well for our authorities to off .r filar inducement for the apprehension of the incendi aries that are supposed to infest our city? Dears OF GI.N. MILHOT. — Gen Samuel Milroy, one of the pioneers of the West, and long known as a distinguished and useful citizen of Indiana, died re cently at his residence near Delphi in that State._ He heki, at the time of his death, the appointment of Indian Agent lot the 'Miami tribe of Indians. Those who have seen the luiutiant crops gathered from the i ich pruiries of the west, say that our ordinary furms appear like if tern wastes compared to them, and that all the skill and industry that our farmers can employ, will not produce one half the reward that the we*tern agriculturist realizes from hair the lubor. Those aho are pushing to the west, show their wis dom in selecting that portion of the country fur a borne. The privatiuns that they have to encounter are but trifling, and will pass away as the population increases; but were they ten times greater, they would be forgotten in consideration of tlie great ad vantages and the assurance of a comfortable home and ultimate independence, that are rendered certain to the man of frugal habits and ordinary industry. HORRORS or EatErNiallastrs.—During the preva lence of the earthquakes in Mexico, recently, one town, called Valle de Rio Blanco, in Guanajuato, was entirety swallowed up, leaving only a large cav ern where it stood. Upwards of 60 persons perished in this awful gulf. In Zacatens, the oscillation of the earth produced the explosion of a powder mill, which did considerable damage, besides loss of life. DESTRUCTIVE FMK IN Can 'minas, Mass.—We learn from the Boston Times that on Friday morning. quarter past one o'clock. a fire raged in Cambridge, in the square, of the colleges and rear of Charles river bunk. It commenced in a carpenter's shop, and in a very short lime communicated to the adjoining build- ings and also to the Atheneum building, and a wooden dwelling house, ell which were destroyed. Four car penter's shops were burned; one belonging to Harvard College and occupied by Ebenezer Francis, one occu pied by Stickney and Winn, one by Mr Cotwell and the other by Peter Nye. The circular wooden building owned by the colleges, together with the grand pane' mama of Athens, a ccstly picture, valued at some $25,000 or $30,000 was entirely destroyed. This pic ture was presented to the college some years since, and the late lamented Washington Allston spent some 3 or 4 years in retouching it, and putting it in a finished state. A family residence in the basement of this building, as also an engine house, was burnt out. HVNTING PARR - On IVednesday afternoon, about three o'clock, a very exciting trotting match took place over this course, between Ripton and Arne ,icus.— Purse s2oo—mile heats—best three in five. The time was as follows: Ist mile,_ 2:40-2d mile, 2:39- 3d mile, 2:39-4th mile, 2:41 sth mile, 2:45. Rip tnn won the first two heats, and there were offers of $lOO to $2O that he would take the purse. Ameri cus won the !hied and fourth heats, and bets were free ly offered of $lOO to $5 in his favor. The last heat was very closely contested, and Ripton was success. ful as the knowing ones say, by the skin of his teeth. A WAnettsrn.—The Wilmington Journal, address. ing duelists, who come to thut State to settle their difficulties, says:—''How would they like to mount a platform about 15 or 20 feet high, with t heir wrists and neck fastened in holes in a We'd, and thus stand an hour, and after that he fastened by iron clasps to a whipping post and receive 39 lashes on their bare backs, each stroke starting the blood. All the duels they may fight hereafter would nut wash out the dis grace which such punishment would fix upon them. BesiJes, tokill a man in a duel in this State is murder, and if the criminal be caught he will very probably be hung. Su take care, you men of honor. COTTON FACTORY AT AUGUSTA MAlNE.—Within the past week, says the Banner, capital stock to the amount of one hundred and twenty thousand dollars has been subsclibed, one half by citizens of Augusta, the other half by capitalists in Boston, fur the erection of a large Cotton Factory at the Kennebec Dam in Augusta. This is but the beginning of what is to be. ANOTHER SLAVE TRADER.—There was quite an excitement on Ihursday, at Boston, on the arrival of the bark Arnim, from Pernambuco, as information had been received, that an American captain named Doug. lass was a passenger in her, and that he had sold his vessel on the coast of Africa, fur a slaver. It turned out, however, that Capt D. was not on board the bark. IaPA paragraph in the London Times announces that Burgess, who was arrested in Boston last au tumn and carried to England for trial, es a robber from the Bank of England, was put on board the con vict ship David Moleom, on the 9th May. He is to spend the remainder of his life at Norfolk Island, one of the severest penal settlements. 'nix NEW YORK CoLutcroasittr.- 7 The New York papers announce the removal of Gov. Van Ness from the Colkxttorvhip, and the appointment of Ciil nelius W. Lavrresree. Eq., formerly mayor of the ci ty. It was thought that Jonathan Coddiovon, would have received the appointment. Wstatxo.—On the milky of bodily exercise as a preservation of health, a writer in a London petiodi cal lays it down as positive, that "walking is the most perfect exercise for the human body; every artery, from the heart to the eatremeties, propels the blood quicker and more equally than in any other exercise. The blood is drawn front the bead and tipper parts, where it is most slow and languid, and is circulated with re• pidity to every part." COST or WAR.—Ourrevolutionary war drew from the treasury of Connecticut alone nearly $23,000,000 ; as much as 100,000,000 would be for that State now, or 200,000,000 for Massachusetts. Our last war, though cheap compared with most wars, cost us nearly $50,000,000 a year. Our revolutiomuy war cost England more than $00,000,000, and her wars with Napoleon alonihroore than $5,000,000,000. WEST FLORIDA Senators, Representatives. Whig. Dem. Whig.

From the Detroit Free Press MURDER MID ROBBERY ATTEMPTED The citizens of this place were , his morning thrown into great excitement. in consegoence of theattempted murclor of Mr Lewis A Hall, Teller in the Bank of River Raisin. The facts, as we kern them, are briefly these: About ten o'clock last night, George Wells, who had some time ago horrow.-d money from Mr Hall, came to the Bank, and told Hall that he hid been to Detroit and got his motley, which he had before stated was coming to him; two kegs of which were in his wagon at the door but that he had upset his wagon this side of Sandy Creek, where he had lost the third keg of specie. and wished Hall to go with him to look fur it. After taking the two kegs into the bank, they went to ;ether in Wells' wagon, or buggy, to the place where %Vella said he lost the other keg—the w•etwls near Sandy Creek—and searched about an hour, when Hall suggested that theyhad better return for a light. Hall, hearing the click of a pistol, asked Wells what it was, who said it was a pistol its his pocket, which he touch ed with his hand. Having procured it light, the watch was resumed for nearly an hour. Wells said he rolled the keg into the woods for safety. and the aenrch was abandoned; and while returning to the buggy. Wells shot Hall, then about rix feet in advance, in the back. They got in to the wngnn, and when near the bridge in French town, %Vella again shot him in the neck, end attempt ed to drive though Monro without stopping, when Hall sticreded in making his e.cnpe from the wager), and gut to the residence of Mr Keith, his brother in-law, where he lies in a moat painful and critical sit uation. An in of the circumstances attended this shocking transaction has ben instituted, and we for bear comment until better informed. It may, howev ever, be proper to remark. that Mr Hall reposed great confidence in Wells; and the object no doubt was, to put him out of the way, and obtain the keys, in or der to accomplish a long premidited robbery cif the bank. The two kegs abnve mentioned left at the bank were filled with sand.—Monroe Advocate, 51k. FARE REDUCED TO 8 DOLLARS.
