We will refresh the editors memory by again bringing to his notice, the facts as masted by Mr Rush: • 'Speaking of the powers of Europe (says Mr Rush) iwho bad ever advanced claims to any part of thia coast, Lreferred to the principles which had been set- Ord by the Nootka Sound convention of 1790, and re flatbed that Spain had now lost all ker exclusive colonial rights laid!, were recognized under that cotassap4ma: ." Mr Rush does not stop bore--be tells uabeal Spain lost her exclusive colonial rights. Ile sip: "First, by the fact of the independence of the South American States, and next by her renunciation of all her rights, of whatever kind, nbove the forty second degree of north latitude to the United States." Mr Rush, it will be seen, says distinctly that Spain was rseognized as having "exclusive colonial by the treaty of . Nootka Sound. Who went the par ties to the convention at Nootka Sound? Spain and Great Britain What Mr Rush meant by "exclusive cokneial rigida" is fully explained in what follows: be says Spain lost her "exclusive colonial rights," by renunciation of all her claim above the forty-se coed degree of north latitude to the United States."— Thus we have the authority of Mr Rush fur the fact that. at the treaty of Nootka Sound, Great Britain re cegnied the "exclusive colonial rights" of Spain to the disputed territory north of the 42d degree; this right mu afterwards, by Spain, ceded to the United States. We have thus established the point in dispute, by the Gazette's own witness. The Gazette must now either yield OA point or discredit Mr Rush's statement.

ADDRESS "Vo ate People of the Slate of Pennxylvania. Felloto-Cilizens:—The Philadelphia society for g the abolition of Capital Punishment, at a bold at tho County Court House on June 9th its Executive Board te issue an address to the this State, calling a general convention of tends of thewseasuie, to be held in this city i n . ..or neat, te wnoert a plan for the more speedy ishment of the object had in view. forming this pleasing duty, the Board would to remind you that our State Isasalsrays been duous fix a hold abl judicious reformation of ztive penal system inherited from our transat progentors. That system of originating in the •-• of barbarism, and fostered by centuries of violence, has to this than retained the traces, less distinct, of its savage and unchristian JOHN BIGLIRO IDITOR. OREGON ,nglish law, from which ours is derived, has 'peculiarly bloody. The one remedy for all ilswrdithe gentles. The prison was bet a (rum the can't house to the scaffold. To the our Founder be it spoken. among his first of authority in this infant Commonwealth, repeal of this Draconic code, in the great ma the cases to which it. applied. By the Great Acted at Chester in 162, a new iystsm was ced. That it did not provide for the substitu• milder punishment than death in all eases, .rror to be pardoned in one who had already much fur the cause of humanity. As the influents of William Peon was gradually the criminal code of the colony was made mitnate to that of the mother country, until almost as sanguinary. But this severity wag foreign to tlio spirit of our institutions and could not last. The men of the Rilaolutiolikactuated by that deep sense of the dignity and value of our common hu manity, whisk they made the corner-stone of tier re publican fibertit, early applied themselves to the amisli oration of thectinthial code. The convention which Framed the constitution of 1776, considered the sib ject so impottent as to embody in that instrument a declaration of the duty of the legislature to amend the penal laws, so as to render them less sanguinary, and to substitute "visible punishment of long duration" in penitentiaries for the death-penalty. In 1786 this re- Rum was commenced by tbe abolition of this penalty in thecase of burglary. robbery and other crimes.— By the famous act of 1799, murder was divided into two degrees, and the punishment of death abolished in all casess whatever, except the higher of these two; The same set established the true theory of criminal legislation, in words that should be written on the heart of every Pennsylvanian. We refer to the said act, which is as folkowst— "Whereas, the design of punishment is to prevent the commision of crimes, and to repair the injury that has been done thereby to society or the individual, and it bath been found by experience that these objects are bettor obtained by moderate but certain penalties than by severe and excessive punishments; and, where as, it is the duty of every government to endeavor to reform rather than exterminate offenders, and the pun ishment of death ought never to be Infflicted when it is not absolutely to the public safety; therefore, &c." Let every man ponder these positions well, and then answer if capital punishment is at all admissible into!' code which starts from these premises. It is not disciplinary. We hold to the necessity of punish ment, I.tecause we know that all chastening, though for the present it is not joyous, but rather grievous. yet worketh in the end the peaceable fruits of righteousness. But the death penalty is -not of this character. It cuts off the offender as if utterly incap able of amendment,a fact which no man or body of men can predict of another, without artogating to themselves the divine prerogative. It is. therefore, essentially evil in its nature. There can be shown no possible excuse for its infliction, unless it be an absolute or emperative necessity, in order to protect society against repeated crime. But can this neces sity be shown 1 We answer confidently, no! .We appeal to the experience of thousands of years of vio lence and bltaxished, whose only testimony on the sub ( ject is, that wrath stirreth up wrath, and violence be ! gets violence. We appeal to the results of the obeli thin of the death penalty in regard to other crimes in this country, in Gi est Britain, and the world over. We refer you to the happy effects which have been caused by the same abolition in the rose of mui der in Tuscany, in Belgium, in Russia, and uniformly wherever the experiment has been tried. The whole history -of our race speaks with one voice on this point. The record is true, that the Maker of man wHI„ require his blood at the hand of evety one that sherkleth it—at the hands of communities as well as individuals— and whether it be shed by the secret dagger tsr by the sword of the executioner. On whatever people has set up the gallows or the scaffold in its midst, there has ever rested the curse of blood-guiltless. Nut only has the horrid machinery of destruction entirely failed of the end it ens intruded to accomplish. but it has stood ready to devour those whom iiselfliad educated to murder, by the lessons of bloodshed and violent ru venge. This, fellow citizens, is no exsggetated picture, but a solemn reality. Your legislators have already ad mitted its truth. ,It wctild he superrogatory in us to argue against the moral influence of the gallows, when the idea is. in fact, almost universally abandoned.— The act of April 10th, 1943, direct; executions to be conducted in private, and provides expressly "that no person under age shall bo allowed on any account to wit ness the same." The reason is obvious, and has been given already. Wo do the deed of blood in secrecy and obscurity, because we know that ill its influences are unredeemedly evil. But the wivebief does not stop even here. The great heart of this community' revolts against the in fliction of deat'a ns a penally for crime. F.ven those who resist the legislative abolition of the death pun• ishment, willingly assist in its practical abregations in most cases. The difficulty of eonviering fur capital offences has become notorious to all who have obeerv ed the course of justice in oaf reurts. Let a man be indicted for murder, and it is not easy in obtain a ju ry willing to sit in judgment upon him. The best men on the panel generally refuse to serve, when the Irk, I lent death of a fellow-being may be the result of their action, In our city, more than thirty jurymen have plead conscientious scruple on this subject inn single ease. After the jury is empanelled, the awful reopen- I sibility connected with a dehlierate destroying of the image of God weighs too heavily on all minds, in ad mit of a calm consideration of the evidence. The slightest testimony which goes to favor the innocence of the prisoner, unconsciously 0%41117es an unnatural importance. Has net every one noticed the infre. quencyof convictions incapital cases? And if a con viction is obtained, the appeal to the pnrliterning power is instantly made, with a (ince well nigh irresistible. The crime of the condemned is lost sight of in sympa thy for his wretched condition, and judge, jury and ' prosecutor not unfrequently uni a in the recommend:l - to merry. Hence comes a too frequent use of the pardoning power, which (however much it may be deplored) any one will be slow to censure, who can place himself for the moment in the painful poeilionof that Executive, on the mere writing of whose signa ture hang the issues of life and death to a brother man. In view of these facts, we earnestly urge you to unite in promoting the repeal of a law whose very extremity of severity is alone *efficient to render it practically inoperative. The evil influences of this punishment, just alluded to, have been felt elsewhere as much as in nor own State. They have attracted the attention of philan thropists throughout Christendom. The number of of punished with death has recently been much di minished in Great Britain, on the Continent of Europe, and in several of our sister States. The propriety of an entire abandonment of the penalty is at present un dergoing a wide-spread discussion in our country. The time cannot be far distant when no gallows will be left standing in all our borders. There is some resistance to this reform from those who have so much fear of in novation, as to adhere to an ancient, thought ncknow l edged evil, rather than venture on an untried good.— But the greatest oppusitinn must ever arise from that deep-rooted spirit of malignity. which delights in hu man suffering, and -which believes that it serves God when it can clods passion with the thin mask of jus tice. We beg nll who opposed this moeemont to examine their hearts carefully and ark themselves how fur they have mistaken a revengeful impulse for adeduction of reason. Let the subject be fairly examined. Discus sion—full, free and impartial to recommend the re form we advocate to the minds of all thinking. We therefore respectfully suggest to societies 'for discus sion and other public bodies the investigation of the claims which this measure has upon their attention and support. Those who have already arrived at conclnsions unfavorable to capital punishment, we would urge to renewed and more strenuous efforts for the speedy completion cf the good work in which we are engaged, from the consideration that the time for it has now evidently come. The public mind is rap idly ripening for the change , and if it is not soon brought about, it will he the fault of our supineness and negligence. Fellow citizens, the present is the time for efficient action. Let us coma together and consult on the course we shotdd pursue. Hopes are entertained by many that the next Legislature of our Commonwealth will not adjourn without a favorable action on this momen tous tapic. The main object of the proposed conven tion will beiii take measures for cbtaining this result. It will assemble on Tuesday, the 11th of November next, the hour end place of meeting to be designated in the newspapers of the day. We trust that a full representation of our friends from other portions of the State will be present- all who purpose to assist in the deliberations of the convention are requested to an nounce their intention to John /seinen, Secretary of the Society, No. 30 Market st. at an early date. The meeting will be held on the day previous to that of the American Society for the Abolition of 'capital Punish ment, at which it is expected that mtmerous prominent advocates of the measure from other States will be present.

From Y. Evening Post. LETTER FROM W. C. BRYANT: • GceiCIONV, July 19, 11145 On the 17th of-this month I embarked at New-Ha ven, in the environs, of Edinburgh, on board the tittle steamer Prince( Albert, for Sterling. Oa one way we saw samples of the New-Haven fishwives, a peculiar race, distinguished by a peculiar costume; fresh colored women, who walk the streets of Edinburgh with large wicker baskets on their shoulders, a short blue coat of coarse-cloth under the basket, short blue petticoats; thick blue stoekinge, and a white cap. I was told they were the descendants of a little FlerniA colony which long ago settled at New-Haven and that the are cele- Meted for the readiness and point oftair jokes, which like those of their sisters of Billingsgate, are not al. ways of the most delicate kind. Several of these have been related to me, but on running them over in my mind, I find, to my dismay, that none of them will look well on paper. The wit of the New-Haven fishwives seems to me, however, like that of the western boat men, to consist merely in the ready application of quaint sayings that are already current among them selves. It was a wet day, with occasi,u.al showers, and sometimes a sprinkling of Scotch mist. I tried the the cabin, hut the air was too close. The steamboats in this country have but one deck, and that deck has no shelter, so I was content to stand in the rain for the sake of the air and scenery. After passing an is. land or two, the Frith, which forms the bay of Edin burgh, mistreats into the river Forth. We swept by country seats, one of which was pointed out as the res idence of the late Dugeld Stewart, and another that of the the Earl of Elgin, the plunderer of Parthenot.; and castles, towers and churches, some of them in ruins ever since the time of John Knox, and hills half seen in the fog, nntil we came op posite to the Ochil mountains, whose grand rocky but tresses advanced from the hese almost be the river.— Here, in the windings of the FOlth, our steamer went many times backwards and forwards, first towardsthe the mountains and the towards the level country to the south, in almost parallel courses, liketbe track of a ploughman in a field. At length we passed a ruined tower and some fragments of massy wall which once formed a part of Cambria Kenneth Abey, seated on the rich lands of the Forth, for the monks, in Great Britain at least, seem always to have chosen for the site of their monasteries, the banks of a stream which would supply them with trout and salmon for F r idays. We were now in the presence of the rocky hills of Stirling, with the town on its declivity and the ancient castle, the residence of the former kings cf Scotland, on its summit. We went up through the little town to the castle, which is ;till kept in perfect order, and the ramparts of which frown as grimly over the surrounding coun try es they did centuries ago. No troops however tire nrrwstationed beret* few old gunners alone remain and Major somebody, I forget his name, takes Iris dinners in the bangoeting room, and sleeps in the bed chamber of the Stuarts. I wish I could communicate the impression which this castle and the surrounding region made upon me, with its vestiges of power and magnificence, and its present silence and desertion. The passages to the dungeons in w 166 pined the vic tims of state, in the very buildings where the court held its revels, lie open, and the chanel in which prin ces and princesses were eh' istened, and worshipped, and were crowned arid wed, is turned into an armory. From iris windows we were shown within the enclos ure of tine ca s t le is g r een knoll. graced by cattle, where the dislotal nobles of Scotland were beheaded. Close to the castle is a green enclosore, intersecto.d with paths. which we were told was the tilting ground, or place of tournaments, and besides it rises a rock. where the ladies of the court sat to witness the come bats, and which is mill called the Ladies' Reck. At the foot of thejbill, to the right of the castle, strerthes what was once the royal park: it is IlhOrllnf Its trees, part is converted into a rare course, part into a immure for cows. and the old wall which marked its Breits is falling down. Near it you seen cluster of grassy em bankments of a rutioils form—circles and octagons and parnllelograms. which bear the name of King James Knot, and once formed a part of Ilea royal gar dens, whete the sovereign used 10 diver t hi m self w i t h his courtier*. The cows now have the spot to them selves, and have made their own paths and alleys all over it. ..Yonder, to the southwest of th e cast l e ," said a sentinel who stood at the gate, "You see where a large field has been lately ploughed. and beyond it is another, which looks very green. Ihe green field is the spot where the battle of Bannockburn was fought. and the armies of Englarat.drleated by Heat-rt.. " looked, and so flesh rind bright ass 11. c vetdore, that it seemed to me as if the earth was still fertilized with the blood of those aim fell in the desperate strug gle for the crown of Scotland. Nut fur from this, the spot WWI shown ins where Wallace was defeated at the battle of Fulkitk. This region is new the scene of another and titilduody warfare; the warfare between the free church and 'hi-gm/moment church. Close to the chinch of the establishment, rut the foot of the rock of Stirling, the Soldier& of the frreChilredi linen erected their place of wotslnip, and the sound of !he hummers from the Untini6hed inter iot could be heard almost up to the castle. We r.iok places the name day is the coach fur Cal lender, to the HighIRMA. In a short time, we came into a country of hillocks, and pastures brown and barren. half covered with ferns, the breckan of the Scotch. where the broom flowered gaurii4 by the road side, and Ltireballs now in bloom, in little comp*. nice, were sw inging, heavy with the rain (10 their slew der stems. Crossing the Teith we found outselves in Donne, a Highland village; just beforeentering it, wit passed a throng of stropping losses, who had just finished their daily task at a maaufftetory on the Teith, and were returning home. Between Donne end Callender, we passed the woods of Combos-More, full of broad beeches, w Irich delight in the tenacious mountain soil of this district. This was the sent of a friend of the Scott family, and here Sir Withal in his youth passed several summers, and became familiar with the scenes which he has so well described in his Lady of the Lake. At Callender we halted for the night among a crowd of tourists, Scotch, English, American and German, more numerous than the inn at which we stopped could hold. I went out into the street to get look at the place, but a genuine Scotch mist cover ing me with water, soon compelled me to return. I heard the people, n broad shouldered, brawny race of men, with red hair and beards, talking to esich other in Gtelic, end saw through the fogs only a glimpse of the sides of the mountains and crags which surround ed the village. The next morning was uncommonly bright and clear, and we set out early for the Trosachs. We now saw that the village of Callender lay under a dark crag, on the banks of the Teith, winding pleasantly anions , its udders, and overlooked by the g rand summit of Ben lendi, which rises to height of t hree thousand feet. A short time brought us to the stream. 'Which daughter of three mighty lakes, From Ventutchar is silver breaks;" and we skirted the lake for nearly its whole length.— Loch Veimnchar lies between hills of compnrtively gentle declivity, pastured by flocks, and tufted with patches of the prickley gorse -and course ferns. On its North bank lies Landrick Mead, a lirtla grassy lev el where Scott makes the tribe uf Clan Alpine assem. ble at the command of Rodrick Dhu. At a little dis tance from Vennaohar lies Loch Achray, which we reached by a road winding among •slitubs and low trees, birches and wild roses in blossom, with which the air was fragrant. Crossing a little stone bridge, which our driver told us was the bridge, of Turk, we were on theedge of Loch Aohray, a little sheetei water surrounded by wild, rocky hills, with here and there an interval of level grassy margin, or a grove beside the wat er. Turning from Lock Achrny, we reached an ion with a Grebe name,—which I have forgotten how to spell. sindj which if I were to spell it, you could nut pro nounce. This was on the edge of the Trosachs, and here we breakfasted. It is the fashion, I believe, for ail tourists to pass through the Trosachs on foot. The mob of travellers, with whom I found myself on the occasion -there were some twenty of them—did so, to a man; even the ladies, who made about a third of the number, walked. The clistanc.e to Loch Sabine is about a mile and a half, between lofty mountains, along a glen fill , wish masses of rnek which item to have been skin- . lien hj.aame convolsicin of nature from the high steeks sea eitlfor aide, and in whoei shelves and trevaitiose iltia plead! a thick wood g(therbirch and oak.

Loch Katbrine; . •whedi we reached it, was crisped into little waves, br.a• fresh wind from the northwest, and as a boat, with fiser brawny High landers, was waiting to.cenvey thjabowl efAbe we launched upon tie dark - deep water,bL;ittfiti craggy and shrubby steeps, the summit of which rose on every side of us and one of the rowers, an intelligent looking man, took upon himself the task of pointing out to as the places mentioned by the poet. "There," said he as we receded from the shore, "is the spot in the Troesehs were Fitz James lost his gallica grey." Ho then repeated, in a short recitation, dwelling strongly on the rhyme, the lines in the lady of the lake which relate I that-incident. "Yonder is the island where Douglass concealed his daughter. Under that broad oak, whose boughs almost dip into the water,%was the place where her skiff was moored. On that rock, covered with heath, Fits James stood and wound his bugle. Near it, but out of sight, iv the silver strand, where the skiff received him on board " Farther on, he pointed out, on the smith side of the lake, half way up among the rocks of the mountain, the place of the Goblin Cave. and still beyond it "Tbe wild pass, wheretitchea wave, Of Beal-a-nam bo" On the north shore, the hills had a gentler slope, and at their skirt, spread into something like a meadow, we saw a solitary dwelling. "In that," said he "Rob Roy was born." In about two hours, our strong arm ed towers had brought us to the head of the lake. Be fore we reached it we saw the dark crest of the Ben Lomond, loftier than any of the mountains around us, peeping over the hills which formed the sout6ern ram part of Loch Katrine. We landed and proceeded— the men on foot end the women nn ponies—through a wild craggy valley, overgrown with low shrubs, to In versnaid, on Loch Lomond, where a stream freshly swollen by rains, tumbled down a pretty cascade into the lake. Aswe descended the steep bank, ac saw a man and a woman sitting on the grass weaving baskets the woman as we passed, stopped her work to beg; and the children, chubby and ruddy, came running after us with "Please give tne a penny to buy a scone." At Inversnaid we embatked in a steamboat whtch took us to the northern extremity of the lake, where it narrows into a channel like a river. Hete we stopped to wait the arrival of a coach, and in the meantime, the passengers had an hour to wander in the grassy valley of Glenfollorh, closed in by high mountains. I heard the roar of mountain streams,and passing north ard , found myself in sight of two torrents, one from the east, and the other firm the west side of the val ley, throwing themselves, foaming and white, from precipice to precipice, till their waters, which were gathered in the summit of the mountains, reached the meadows, and stole through the grass to mingle with those of the lake. The coach at length arrived, and we were again taken on board the steamer, and conveyed the vrbole length of Loch Lomond to its southern extremity, We pas sed island after Wane, one of which showed among its thick Irma the remains of a fortress, erected in the days of fertilel warfare and robbery. and another was filled with deer. Towards the southern end of the lake, the towering mountains, peak beyond peak, which over look the lake, subside into hills, between which the *imam called Leven water flows out through a rich and fertile valley. Coaches were waiting at Ballock,wlit re we landed. to take us to Dumbarton. Near the lake we passed a magnificent park. in the midst of which stood a cas tle, a veritable castle, a massive building of atone, with a tower and battlements, on which a flag was flying.— "It belongs ton dry goods merchant in Glasgow," said the captain of the steamboat, who was in the coach with us, "and the flag is put up by his boys. The merchants are getting finer sears than the nobility." am sorry to any that I have forgatten both the name of the merchant and that of his ca-tle. Ile was, I was told, a liberal. as well as an opulent man; had built a school house in the neighborhood, and being of the free church party, was then engaged in building a church. • Near Renton, on the banks of the Learn, I saw a little aeighborhood, embosorned in old said our certain. "Smollet was burn." A column has been eir-aed to his memory in the town of Renton, which we raw as we passed. This forked rock on which stands Dambetton Castle, Willa bow its sight, overlooking the Carle, we were whirled into the tea n, and in a few oftlistutas we were on hoard a steamer which, us eveidag set In. landed us at Margo..
