ErWe commend to the attention of our neighbor
of the Gazette, the communication of "As Ameri
can," on the Oregon question. The writer, we know
to he a decided Whig—and one, too, that stands high
in *confidence of that party.
IThe efforts of the American to injure the
Democratic Assembly ticket, by insinuating that the
gentlemen composing, are nct the zealous friends of
the Rail Road, cannot be effective. It is well known
to the people of the county, that they are all the wat m
and (lidded advocates of the measure; they have stood
sp forit at aril times, and row stand pledged to its
topport. If elected, and we believe they will be, they
qsam no exertions to secure the passage of a law

The American asserts that Mr DONKELLT is a
strosger among us. This is a great mistake; he has
been longer a citizen of Allegheny county than the
editor of the American. He resided fur many years
in &Lit Deer Township---the last three or four years
he has been a resident of Allegheny city. The Amer
ican further objects to Mr Donnelly on the ground that
he belongs to a particular chri, , tian denomination.—
Democrats believe that every man has a right to wor
ship God according to the dictates of his own con
science—they conform to the letter and spirit of the
eonstitution which declares there shall be no such
thing as a religions teat in this free land.
EMIGRATION ro Tex As.—T he Texaamigration and
Land Company, organized in 1841, under an act of the
Texian Congress, give notice to all persons desirous
or atoning themselves of the liberal terms and condi
tion* *Armed to settlers, that the Company have a per.
Ramat agent, Mr Charles S Hensberg, at the Forks
of Trinity River.
To all emigrants who shall go on to the grant and
settle in the colony, on or before the Ist day of July,
1946, the company will give to each and every family
320 acres of land, and to each and every single man
Over the age of seventeen years 160 acres of land, to
be *elected by themselves, upon paying to the agent
for the costs of the surveys of the lands upon which
they shall settle, at the rate of $l6 for each family,
and $8 dollars for each single man, and the actual ex-
purses of the deeds and the record thereof, and, if the
parties are without money, a note will be taken, bear
ing interest. By a family is to be understood a man
and his wife, with or without children, a widow or
widower, with two or more children under the nge of
seventeen years; or two men over the age of seventeen
years—males over the oge of seventeen years shall be
entitled to 160 acres of land in their own Tight, be
sides the 320 acres given to the family of which they
are members.
The land above referred to, lies between the 32d
and 34th degrees of north latitude, in the counties of
Tannin, Nacogdoches, Milan and Robertson, between
the Brazos and Red Rivers, comprising the celebrated
Cross Timbers, and the upper Trinity River and its
numerous tributaries, running 164 miles on Red Ri
ver, thence south 100 miles, thence east 164 miles,
thence north 100 miles to the beginning on Red Ri
♦er. Gentlemen of the highest standing and intelli
gence, who have visited the grant, are willing to testify
so the facts stated by the company that the territory con
tains, for its dimensions, perhaps the largest body of
the richest and most fertile lands of any portion of
North' America, and that no co•intry is more abun
dantly watered, being thickly interspersed with rivers,
creeks, rivulets and fine springs, of thepurest and most
Wholesome water. The extensive river bottoms and
•magnificent prairies are not surpassed by any lands on
tills continent for richness, location and fertility of soil,
-with a capacity to produce abundantly all the staple
articles grown in this country, and with as little labor
to the cultivator. The lands have a gentle undulating
surface, and are so well pmportioned with woodland
sod prairie, that nearly every settler may have wood
land sufficient for all the purposes of fuel, fencing and
agriculture, and enough li' prairie to relieve him or
'tlte tedious, expensive and laborious work of clearing
plantation,. requiring only to be fenced in to be ready
'for the ploughshare and spade.

every var'ety of grass, abounding also in an ample

with the usual care and attention.
The timber is compr,sed pri neipally of red, white,

BALTIMORE AND OHIO RAIL ROAD CON
VENTION
The deep interest which the citizens of Pennsylva
nia have in the extension and final completion of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, ought to prompt them
to make every effort in their power to induce our next
Legislature to passe law granting to the company the
privilege of carrying their work through this State.—
f such a grant be even. then we may expect to see
the road taken to Pittsbnrgh, and whatevet benefits
are to be perived from its construction will be shared
by Pennsylvania. Butt, in order to obtain this object
there must be concert of action—and to that end, we
would suggest to the friends of the measure in the
southwestern counties—say, Bedford, Somerset, Fay
ette and Greene, and the counties adjoining—the pro
priety of holding a convention of delegates at some
suitable place, in September nr October.

tion?—Somerset Herald.

this road through it—would it not he espedinte that
some immediate measures should he taken with
promptness to further the objects of this recommenda
tion. What says that pot ion of the ronnty immedi

GENERAL JACKSON'S MARRIAGE
This event in the history of Gen. Jackson has been
often alluded to, but the circumstances attending it
are very little known—at least we have never met s ith
any account of them till now. The subjoined narra
tive is from an eulogy delivered nt Natchez:
Miss Rachel Doneloon, the daughter of Col. Donel
son, of Virginia, had been celebrated for her gaiety,
of ability and sweetneu of disposition. Her father
emigrated to Tennessee, and, dying, left her an or
phan. She formed 2 n unhappy matrimonial connex
ion with a morose, jealous and dissipated character
by the name of Roberts, who soon abandoned her.
The difficulty was made up and the wedded pair
cnme together again; soon af'er which Andrew Jack
son became a transient hoarder in the same house
a here Roberts and his wife were residing. A second
rupture soon occurred, anti Roberts left his a lie and
went to Kentucky. Learning that he intended re
turning and taking hcr them, and dreading his inhu
manity and bad treatment, she determined to seek an
asylum in Natchez, beyond his reach. Natchez was
then the Oregon of America. In the spring of 1791,
she came here with Col Starke and his family. At
the earnest request of Col Starke, Gen Jackson pilot
ed his family through the Indian country. After his
return, Judge Overton communicated to him the as
tounding intelligence that he was the unconscious
muse of the last separation; that it nrose from Roberts
jealousy of him; and the circumstances of his accom
panying Col Statke, to protect his family from the In
dians, had been seized upon by Roberts as a ground
of divorce, in a petition to the Virginia Legislature.
The thought that an innocent woman was surffering
so unjustly ou his account, made General Jackson's
sensitive mind most uneasy and unhappy. Ile imme
diately sought out Roberts and expostulated with him ;
on the injustice and cruelty of his suspicion; but the in-
terview ended in mutual defiances. At length news
came that the Virginia Legislature had actually grant- I
ed the divorce in accordance with Roberts' petition.
Forewitli Andrew Jackson hastened to Natchez, and I
offered his hand and his heart to the innocent and
amiable woman, who had been made so unhappy by
false and unfounded accusations. He crime to Natchez,
to give the world the highest evidence he could give
of +et. innocence.
Although Free to forme new connection, Mrs.
Roberts declined the proffered offer. But Andrew
Jackson was not to he out done. He addressed her
in the languag e of Roth to Naomi: "entreat me not
to .lwwe ;hoe or •to return from following after thee,
fur where thou vest 1 will ga , where ehy
lodg
est I will lodge, thy people shall be my people, and
thy God my God; Where thou •diest I will die, and
there will I be buried." A promise which he literal
ly fulfilled in refusing the sarcophagus of the Emperor
Alexander Severu..ihat he might be buried by her.—
At length, after some three months, Mrs. Roberts, be
ing convinced that the chivalry which prompted the
proposal had become associated with genuine love,
accepted the offer, and they were married in this city
or its vicinity, and returned to Tennessee, (in arriving
tilere • boiling that the divorce bad not none through all
the forms required by the law• of Virginia, at the time
of their marriage here, the ceremony was again per
formed there.
FOR THE POST.
Mn. EDITORi—As the subject of the North-western
boundary of the U. States, is beginning to assume the
importance which it ought in the eyes of every Amer
ican, I desire to publish a few paragraphs on that sub
ject. through the columns of your journal: and allow
me here to remark, I had never supposed an intelli
gent American could be found, in the length or
breadth of the land who would say that we had not
an unquestioned right to every foot of what is now
known as the Oregon Territory; but it seems to have
been a great mistake; for there are not only those who
seem to doubt our title to it, but are peblishing, from
day to day, ell the arrogant claims and inuendoes of
the British Government among our citizens, distract
ing, instead of enlightening and fixing their minds on
this important question, which so intimately concerns
our interests and honor as a Nation. Now, sir, I think
I assert, without mach fear of successful contradiction,
that not a single paragraph can be traced—of a
claim made by England, or acknowledged by any one
else—until the successful establishment of the North
%Vest Fur Company. This company was established
in (perhaps) 1809 or 1810. It soon came into ruin
ous competition with the Hudson Bay Company—
which was chartered by the British Government in
1670. Itseeports amounted to upwards of £30,000,
which greatly augmented the revenue of Government.
Their clashing interests were finally settled by a union
of the companies; after which they perished with great
strides across the continent, and finally established
themselves on the shores of the Pacific and elsewhere
toward the Artie Sen.
And here let me remark, (hy the way of parenthesis)
—that an American company was established for .the
purpose of engaging in the fur trade in the Western
Territory. Among other places, they established a
post, in 1811, on the north side of the Columbia River,
18 miles from its mouth, which they called Astoria,
in honor of one of their enterprising company. But so
great was the overshadowing influence and wealth of
the united British company—that after struggling
for two or three years, they were compelled to sell
out to that company—and abandon the enterprise.
So here is an American village passing into the hands
of an English company—who (I believe) hold pos
session until this day, for its restoration at the conclu
sion of the war, was n matter of mere form—the pro
perty was in the hands of the company, and there it
remained. And is it not a notorious fart, that the
whole fur trade of Western America is in the hands of
that company? I had almost said to the very con
fines of Missouri end Arkansas t That the different
Indian tribes (through their influence) entertain the
deepest hatred to Americans?—end that they are en
tirely under their control?
Now, sir, when that company had established itself,
in something like the manner stated nbove—then for
the fret time do we find England setting up a claim,
or doubting, the exclusive right of the United States
to that Territory.
In 1818, previous to the restoration of the American
settlements at the mouth of the Columbus; and after
ward-; when it was proposed in Congress to establish
a Territorial Government in that country, it is said,—
"some disposition was manifested by Sir C. Elegem,
and tanning to dispute the right of the United
States:" and some vague intimations were gi , en of
British claims on the north west coast of America;
but "Mr Canning declined c.immitting to paper
those which he had intimated in cenversation!!
Well, sir, in 1824, when Mr Rush was our Minister
at the English Court, an effort was made to settle the
limits of out territory in that direction. After a num
ber of conferences, in which Mr Rush, in a most per and convincing mariner, set forth the claims
of his country to all the territory lying between the
42d and 51st degree of North Latitude.
Brown's Gains
900
550
200
In reply, the British Plenipotentiaries (among many
other things) declared---Tlint Great Britain consid
ered the whole of the unoccupied parts of America as
being open to her future settlements, in like mnnnvr
as heretofore," and that pot tiqn between the 421 and
51st degrees, as well as the rest,"—"that this tight
of colonisation she was not prepared to relinquish!!!"
Now, sir, what are Americans to think of such
declarations as these? Are they prepared meekly to
submit to such a state of things?—For the honor of
tha past, the present, and the future, I fondly hope not.
But this course of grasping policy is in perfect con
sistency with her whole past history. There never
has been an enterprise undertaken by her subjects—
whether honorable or dishonorable—that she has not
backed first, by her diplomacy, and, if need be, 'after
ward by her arms. lier sohjec:s are now in pos
session of what the. whole world acknowledged to be
ours; and we shall have to divide the now disputed
territory with her, or appeal to arms!!
The proposition her plenipotentiaries made was
this—That the line between the two nations should
be continued on the 49th parallel until it struck the'
northernmost brunch of the Columbia, and from thence
down that stream to the Ocean; and that from this
she could not he expected to depart—thus leaving us
a little outlet on the ocean of son - uniting like 1201
miles!!!
Had this Mntter of bcondary been settled in 1818,
the world would never have heard of a claim by the
British to any portion of that territory,--so that the
longer we negotiate, the worse it will be for us. We
negotiated on our North Esto, till England advanced
the same hind of claim and wa lost a valuable portion
f our birthright.
I repeat it—there is not a sylable or word, in any
work—prior to 11324—in which any claim 11 that
country is set up by England—save that of temp orary
occupancy for the purpose of trading with the nations.
But let me make a few quotations, in relation to this
matter—and
1. The learned and penetrating Mniti-Brun, in his
Universal Geography—page 203, vol 3—" On the
west side of the mountains, the Americans have ars
undisputed dailyt to the country from the 92d to the
,9th parallel; and a more doubted claim, which is dis
puted by RUeßid, to the country from the 99th to the
60th parallel." Nothing said here about an Eng
lish claim!! Again—pnge 289, vol 3, he says—The
Spaniards have given the name of New California
to all the roasts of the west, situated between the
port of San Diego(lat 33deg.. 30m.) and the northern,
hut hitherto undefined boundary of their possessions,
The celebrated English Navigator, Sir Francis Drake,
distinguished one part of these coasts by the name of
New Albion; but in our (Mahe Brun's) History of
Geography', we have seen that the claim of priority
of discovery belongs to the Spaniards."
Again—M. Humboldt, in his work on New Spain,
says—•• The North %Vest coast of America furnishes,
to this day, no other stable settlements than the Rus
sian and Spanish colonies."
Again—Mt Worcester. in his Universal Gazetteer,
says—" The first modern navigator that entered this
rivar, was MI Gray.commander of the ship Columbia,
of Boston. He entered it in 1791, and since that
time it has been known by the name of Columbia"—
And Copts Lewis- and Clark were the first white men
that ever visited the country—and they explored it
from the mountains to the ocean. Whilst, by the
treaty of Paris, in 1763. the territorial limits of Bri
tain were bounded by the Mississippi. Nothing said
about her rights in Oregon!!!
Allow me to say, in conclusion, 'hot I hope those
special pleaders in favor of British claims, and British
arrogance, will at least do the people the justice of
publishing the correspondence and authorities cited
by the diplomatists in the conferences hod in 1224
They can turn to the matter in the American Annual
Magazine for 1823 and Doc., p. 26, &c.
AN AMERICAN.
The Tragedy of Yealerdy.—The coronet's inquest
returned a verdict last night, w Inch stated that
they found that Wm Z. Kendall came to his death by
a pistol shot fired by Wm. R. Elliott. The jury did nut
find whether the act was felonious or not. Elliott sur
rendered himself last night to justices Goddard and
Matsell and officer Burr. An examination was held
this mottling at 11 o'clock, and is yel(se'clock)contin•
wing in he courtroom before the above named Justice:
Mattis prsent; his eye is much swollen and blackened;
he appears quite collected. Near him is sitting Fran
cis:P. Blair, Esq. and his council—Gm Jones and P.
R. Fendall,esq. The District Attorney and H. H.
Dent are conducting for the United States. Never
before have I. witnessed the court room as crowded as
it has been during this day.
A multitude of witnesses have been xamined, but I
think it would be very of little importance to spread the
evidence beforethe public, because it is quite a medly
From the Baltimore sun
WASHINGTON, August 19, 1895
of contradictory statements, from which the communi
ty could draw nothing certain. The defence has taken
the ground that the act was in self defence, and it is
but just to state that such ground would seem well
founded on the statements of some of the witness
es; yet the witnesses on the other side make out a dif
ferent tale.
Mr. Baily is doing very well; his arm, it ii expected,
will be saved, though doubtless stiffened for life.
The father of young Kendall is expected home to
morrow. Sad, sad indeed, will be his return; but I
leave it for others more capable to describe the probable
sensations of a father under such circumstances.
The coroner was much impeded in the discharge of
Id. duty by the thong in and about the premises; and
I was glad to notice that he refused to summon as jurors
some of those who are ever present when an inquest
is to be held, and place themselves either directly or
indirectly under his notice.
The examination is not concluded, and the grnernl
impression seems to be that the prisoner will be ad
mitted to bail.
LATER.—We learn from the Baltimore Sun, of
Thursday, that the examination did not close on
Wednesday evening, as was generally expected.
