ORICION—TME FoREWN NS.VIIS:—Tu 9 calm ob•
server of political events, the doublings arid twisting,
of the wbig lender, and editors, their headlong at
tacks and misemble retzeet3, their pitiful but perse
Tering attempts to beat down the
must afford no little amusement, if not iostruct ion .
All will remember that when President Poi',', TEMU,.U•
ral appeared, the whig presses throoghout the
try, treated it with unexpected forbearance. To be
sure, they found some fault with its positions, as in du
ty bound, and in some quarters they objected especi
ally 'obis views on the Tariff. But no one of them
that we remember, made any objection to his claim.
ing the whole of Oregon, until that portion of the
Inaugural was canvassed by the press of Great Bri
tain, end decided to be a rash, head-strong and in
sulting proposition, the consequences of which might
be a war with England. Then, and not till then, did
the *big press discover that the President had com
mitted a grievous error. in the honest expression of
the sentiment held by nine-tenths of the American
people, that our title to Oregon is the best in exist
ence. We will not recall the agonies felt and expres•
sad by the whip during the past summer, lest Presi•
dent Polk should take some sash step in the discus
sion of the Oregon question with Greet Britain, nor
shall we dwell on the happy dispersion of their fears.
by the announcement of the fact that, in a spirit
of compri mese, he lied again offered the 99th de
gree. All these interesting circumstances we pass
over in order to make a brief notice of )he awe in
which the matter is placed by the antral of the
Hibernia.
From the day President Polk's annual message
appeared until the time John Q. Adams made his
Oregon speech, nothing was heard from the whig
press but piteous groans about the dang.t.r of war,
and of the sudden and exciting effect the message
would have in treat Britain. Even after Mr Ad
ams and Mr Calhoun bed defined their positions,
the anxiety of our opponents about the effect of the
message was extreme. So torribl) alarmed were the .
that many of them gave credence to a recent foolish
rumor that the British Minister was recalled, and
that the enemy would be upoi, us 'immediately, if
not sooner."
But alas! for whig prognostications. The nrrisal
of the steamer has knocked them Into weful confu
sion, and now our Whig friends talk as wofuily of
Peace as if it were a calami-y. They base made the
notable discovery, that it is the President's free trade
ism that Las been the means of averting the cloud
of war. Wa are glad they have found a Lew hobby,
and hope it may be a great relief to them—but what
ground have they for their conclusion? Why simpl)
the fact, (for no official reason has tianspired,) that
the British newspapers, open the out4ori , y of the
whit papers_of this country, hare set down the
Fre:slew as a free trade man. Ono good turn cer
tainly deserves another, and as the whig papers here
found out through the British papers, that the Inaug
ural was wrong on the Oregon question, it is but
right and. reciprocal that the British papers should
tape the whig organs hero for authority about Mr
Foik's tariff views.
We may now look for the whigs to take "another
turn." Their voice will shortly be fur 'war,' and
we shall probably see their lenders in Congress voting
for the "notice," and going all lengths in prepare
Corn for the defence of the country.
REJITTION or JUDGE IVOODIVAHD.-04r %slog
fellow-citizens seem to be extremely happy because
the Senate have not confirmed the nomination of Judge
Woonwsan to the Supreme Bench of the United
States. Why they should rejoice so heartily, we arc'
at a lots to imagine. If they take pleasure because
the rejected nominee will be mortified and the Presi
dent chagrined at the result, they most he envious in
deed. Other cause Alm this, fur their inordinate
satisfaction, we cannot perceive. It is positively
certain that no member of their party can be advan
ced to the post the Senate have denicd to Judge
Woodward, while there are so many democrats able
and reedy to discharge its duties. Another democrat
will undoubtedly be presented to the Senate, and con
firmed, and thou, we should like to know how much
better off our whip friends will be, titan they would
have Leen in the event of Judge Woodward's con
firmation.
For our own part, we could see no good reason for
the nomination, and we aro equally unable to we any
good reason for the rejection. The selertien of Judge
Woodward by the President, was unlocked lot , and
did not seem to bo desired by any considerable nember
of his fellow citizens, but as he was competent for the
poet, and deserving as a citizen and a politician, we
are somewhat astonished that the Senate should base
thought proper to traverse the decision of the appoiru
s ing power, and reject the nominee.
We think the error of the President consisted in op- 1
pointing a man whose pretensions were but feebly sus
tained by Lis fellow-citizens. Either of the ether ap
pliestna were better sustained than Judge Woodward;
and perhaps the mortification of their respective friend.
at seeing their favorites superseded by one who woe
not deemed formidable, may have-urged them to great
er exertions to accomplish the rejection. Wo hope
thepolicy of appointin g compromise applicants, w ho
have little or no strength with the people, may be a
bandoned in all future selections of public officers. ,
Tax Gout Doti.sn.—The lion 8 A Douglas, of
Illinois, ban modes movement in the House of Repo:t
ient/dives, to authorize the coinage of gold dollar
pieces. This suggestion cannot but be approved by
the public, as it will furnish the people with a safe
and convenient circulating medium, and relieve them
from the risk they aro continually incurring, by the
auctuating cbaractet of the rag money that now
forms the principal part of oar currenct.
The time is not far distant when paper money, as
issued at the present day, will not be tolerated by the
people. The charters of a ireat number of Banks
are expiring every year, and the prejudice created in
the public mind against such institutions, by the swind
ling manner in which many of them have been man
aged; forms an insurmountable bar to their being re
chartered under the old system from which the peo
ple have sugared so much. The issuing of gold dol.
bars world aid very materially in ridding the country
of this rag currency, as it would answer the only end
for which the people are willing to tolerate paper
rrinney—its convenient form for remitting or carrying
from one part of the country to the other.
We hope that 111 r Douglas will rerseitere in this
praiseworthy effort, end that he may accomplish a
purpose which would meet with universal approba
tion from the people.
There is quite an excitem.mt at present among
the officeis of Cincinnati growing out of a discovered
defalcation of the collector of Water Rents.

THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
The first Message of President Polk to Congress,
has created, as may be readily supposed, e greater
amount of nltention in Englan d than any similar doe
”meat from the head of the Ametican Uoion has done
for !.ears: Public feeling was directed to the Message
long before it arrived, ire tone hostile or otherwise;
formed abundant scope for conjecture in the press.
tee even during the exciting time of the Ministerial
crisis, journalists, overwhelmed by the importance of
our relations with the United States, stepped aside
to discuss the (iteration, even in the absence of the
President's views. Well, the Message came to hand
in the ordinary course, by the ship "Sea," which
made an excellent passage. It was generally under
stood, we may state in this place, that the steamer
which left Boston on the let of December, conveyed
n copy of the Message to Mr McLane, the American
Minister, but if the fart were so, care was successful
ly taken thnt neither the spirit or the substance of the
Message transpired.
We have given'elsewhere the spirit of the English
press en this important document. Our transatlantic
renders will be struck by the absence of all irritation
in the remarks of the great organs of opinion in this
1:111111fry, relative to the Message, and this reluctance
to avoidgiving offence arises from the praiseworthy
desire to bed. rather than to foment the cause of
difference between us and the United Sta:os, respect.
inc Oregon. Some oldie articles we have given are
able aod eimprehensive views of the question at issue,
argm of COW Se, with an allowable amount of nation
al feeling and prejudice, but presenting, on she whole
a just and generous standard of taasoti and logic.
Since the message came to hand, another art ivnl
has lir , light is the correspondence laid before Con
tress between the llriti,h and American Ministers on
the subject of the Oregon. The misfortune of such
documents is that they are too vulumniims f or t h e pt.
rued of the great world. The London Times line de
voted n set les of articles to the consideration of thi.,
couespo, dr•NCe, more particularly with reference to
the two points upon which Mr Buchanan insivta,
namely, first, the title arising fiiim prior occupancy,
and socordls, the cession of the Spanish claim to the
United Stuths. The paper in question enilenvuts to
show the the maintenance of these two light a it
iiicommitib!e; that if one is correct, the other cannot
be sustained. "The prior occupation, and the after
ces•ioa, may be cited as distinct facts but they cannot
concertino title. Two bad titles can no snore make a
good one, than two affirmatives can make a negative."
Wu should like to have presented our renders with
these articles, fill they are considered in this country,
to ho able, if nut unanswerable expositions of the sub.
jeer, but ise they appeared only a day or two preced

Ws/ no nlternative but to send for Peel: and the most
extraordinary move in this drama of Cabinet-making
is, that he felt as little apparent hesitation in resuming
his old Mince, as be evinced promptness in throwing
it up. His resisaiption of power immediately made
itsself felt in every brunch of trade. Confidence,
which has been shattered by the railway panic, be
came paralyzed when it was known that Peel was out;
the markets fell, the funds sunk, businesa war suspen
