TDII PITTENIIGII DAILY IDRBING POST.
PITTSBURGH, THURSDAY, JUNE 11, 1846

Punt.=O. Doertrtsrurs.—Our thank are due to
Vice President DALLAS and the Hons. C. DARRAGH,
S. HOUSTON, 0. 13, FICKLIN and S. A. DOUGLASS,
for valuable public documents.
The primary meetings of the Democracy which
are to be held in the several wards, boroughs and I
townships of this county, on Faturtlay the 20th, V. e I
hope, will be well attended. Every District in
the county should be fully represented, by regular
ly chosen delegates. It is the duty of every Demo
crat to attend and make known hii w.shes in rela
Lion to men and measures, and all.hould go into the
prepared to acquiesce cordially in the decisions of
the majority. That it isnot possible to please all
in the selection of candidates, every good Demo
crat will at once concede. Tersondl pre:Crences
should be willingly yielded if necessary, in order
to secure united and harmonious action in the
ranks of the Democracy.
Six thousand:four hundred shares of the stock
have already been disposed of—and the:Commis
sioners will be in waiting at the Board of Trade
Rooms, to receive subscriptions, from 10 to 3 o'•
clock to-day. We neglected to notice in yester
day's paper that W. H. Lowrie, Esq., being fur
nished with the necessary certificates, left on Tues
day for Harrisburgh to procure the letters Patent
from the Governor.
t tl'We clip the following from the Journal of
yesterday:
"No personal attack - a have appeared in this pa
per. which we have written or authorized, but rrjrin
dere have been published, and we are responsible for
whatever appears editorially in our columns,
whether from pen of our assistants or our own."
If neither "written or authorized' by gr. Riddle,
himself, of course we have no reply to make.

Iscrowrisr Rusos.—Collision between Mormon
and California Emigrants.—The St. Louis Revi
elle of June 3d says:—The officers of the Radnor,
which steamer arrived from the Missouri river,
reports that a messenger arrived at Kansas. from
the plains, they lay there, who reported that a
collision had taken place betwen the party of Mor
mons now emigrating to California, and Gov.
Bogg's party journeying to the same destination.—
In the encounter, Boggs and gel. eral of his com
pany were killed. The last intelligence we had from
the plains spoke of a threat which had been made
against the California emigrants by 'the Mormons,
and this may have given rise to the report of a
collision. We give the intelligence as we received
it. A few days will bring us more particulars, if
the messenger's story be true. The settlers at Kan
sas were arming to go out to the assistance of the
emigrants.

FELLOW CITI ZENS
I am profoundly sensible of this renewed assur
ance of your confidence. You have more than
once heretofore tendered to me the honor of a
nomination for this high office, and I have as often
been embarrassed by being compelled to decline
it. To be the selection of the incorruptible De
mocracy of my native county, and to be elected or
defeated in their cause is ambition enough for me.
The position - is one I would neither impudently
seek after, nor irreverently decline. It is the
gilt of the people, and a trust safely reposed in
their hands.
You must remember that I have publicly ex
pressed my preference for a distinguished member
of the party. whose talents and public services en
title him to your highest regent. 'I should be
faithless to him as a friend to interpose any obits
de to his nomination. Nor shall I do so. But,
it is not for me to interfere with,' or control•the
action of the Convention, and if nortiinated I will
run for Congress. Your, very truly,
WILSON MOANDLESS.
FxonT.—A fight occurred yesterday, between
some . Germens, ;at the caner ca - Walnut and
Liberty strectr, Dayarcistor.T., which resulted with
the usual accontyar.ttr:::ts holds '!,.rid bloody
and buamess .saipeaded
Speech of General Cass.
The following extract from the very able and
interesting speech-of Gen.Eiss. in reply to Col.
Bin-roar, on the "bill tei protect the rights ofAmer ,
lean citizens in the OtegonTerritory," should be
carefully examined by all who desire 'correct in-,
formation in reference to the Oregon controversy
I will not go over this matter, sir, but I will take
the liberty of adverting to the synopsis' of the con-1
siderations connected with it which I submitted tol
the Senate on a foriner occasion;
1. It is not shown that any line was established
on the .parallel of fort Y-nine to the Pacific ocean.
2. The country on the northwestern. Coast was
, then unknown, and I believe iiitelairried; or at any
rate, no circumstances had arisen call in question
any claim to it.
3. The Brittsh negociators in 1818, and their
minister here in 1844, flied upon the voyage
of Capt Cook, in 1778;as the commencement of
the British title to what is now called Oregon.
.1. The treaty of Utrecht protiitles for the estab
lishment of a line between the British and French
colonies, including the Hudson Bay Company.—
The British held nothing west of the company's
possessions, which, by the charters, included only
the lands, countries, and territories" on the waters
running into Hudson's bay.
5. if England established this line to the Pacific
ocean, she can have no claim south ofit, and this
kind of argument ad liontincii becomes conclusive.
And let me add that' I owe this argument to my
friend from Missouri. [Mx, ..Arcursou.) to whose
remarks upon Oregon the Senate listened with
pleasure and with piofit some time since:
6. How could France and England claim the
Pacific so as to divide it between them in 1713,
when. as late as 1790, the British government by,
the Nootka convention, expressly recognised the
Spanish title to that Country, and claimed only the
use of it for its owp subjects, in common with
those of Spain?.
To these twill now add
7. Nootka Sound is north of latitude 49°. If
the limits under the treaty of Utrecht established
that parallel as the southern boundary of the Brit
ish possessions to the north-west ocean, how hap
pened it that, in the Great controversy of 1790,
between Spain and England, this conclusive fact
was never adverted to by one party, nor by the oth
er? Strange indeed, that so decisive a consideration
should have escaped the observation of the Span
ish statesmen; and still more strange that it should
have escaped the searching invertigation which the,
subject underwent in the British House of Com- ,
mun's, by Pitt and Fox, and the other master
spirits of that day. The controvesy could not
have existed if this discovery had been then
tirade.
No would this question stand if Spain had been
a party to the treaty of Utrecht, or had been bound
by an arrangement made by France and I.:iigiand,
for the establishment of a line between their
respective territories. But the. fact is, that any
such an arrangement for the partition of the coun
try west of the Rockey Mountains was impossi
sail; from the circumstances of the time, and
from the position of those three powers. The
treaty of Utrecht terminated the long and bloody
war which arose out of the Spanish succession.—
Louis XIV succeeded in placing his grandson Phil
ip 'V upon the throne of Spain. France and
Spain were closely connected and had fought the
war together. They were allies, and the enemies
of England. The Spanish jealousy of that and
of the following age, respecting the Spanish pos
sessions, especially those on the Pacilic, is well
known, and, at that time, no other power interpos
ed an adverse claim to that region. It is utterly
incredible, that in such a state of things. France
would consent to the extension of the British pos
sessions to the north-west coast. and least of all,.
that she would make herself a party to such a
flagrant act of injustice. It was nut a single trea
ty of Utrecht which put an end to the war. The
one between France and England was a treaty of
peace. and also for a treaty for the regulation of
commerce and for thVestablishment of boundaries.
That between Spain and England was a treaty of
peace and commerce only, and contained no stipu
lations respecting boundary. An effort by France
and England to divide the country upon the north
west coast between them. would hale been resist
ed by . Spain as an act of war. instead of uuy
such effort, this pretension of their right to appro
priate to themselves a country unknown to them,
now seriously asserted in the American Senate.
has been tuirevealed to the world, till called into
existence at this late day, and announced without
any red evidence to support it, as a means of set
tling a controversy about limits, in a region, which
neither France nor England had explored, and to a
foot of which they never laid claim.
I shalt briefly allude to one other topic, and then
abandon this discussion. While I was happy to
hear the honorable senator avow his determination
to support the recommendations of the President in
his annual message at the commencement of the
present session on the subject of Oregon, I deeply
regretted to find, at the same time, that in the far'
most important point. he differs essentially from the
President, and proposes a course which, it seems to
rne, is not only impolitic and unusual, but which
will necessarily lead to the loss of one half of the
country in dispute, and may lead to a division of
the other half The President proposes the as ertion
of our jurisdiction over Oregon. The honorable
senator proposes its assertion over only about one
moiety of Oregon. This is a fundamental difference
which no argument can reconcile. The extent of
the Oregon o the President is known to all of us.
It is the same Oregon which excites such deep so
licitude among the American people. It is bound
ed north by the parallel of 34° 40', as announced
by Mr. Buchanan' in a letter to the British minister,
dated July 12, 1843. It is the same Oregon which
is claimed by the British ,and over which they have
extended their jurisdiction. But the Oregon of the
honorable senator stops at 49°—his line dividing
what neither nature nor political rights destined to
a division.
And why, sir? why does the honorable senator.
in opposition to the repeated declarations of the
American Goveninient,and to the strong leclinlgs 01
the American people, erect a harrier upon the par
allel of 41?°, saying. Thus far you may come, but
no farther? Why does he insist upon a legislative
annunciation which, while it could not give us the
country to that paralil, would forever deprive us of
all hope of the country beyond? If this question is
placed upon the ground of expediency, and if that
artificial line upon the surface of the globe is as
sumed as a reasonable line of compromise—reason
able because dividing the country into two nearly
equal parts, and because it has been several times
oflered by the American Government to the British
government, as a limit of concession—then I find no
fault with those who take this view of the matter,
and who prpoose thus to terminate the contrversy.
He who believes that both parties have an equal
title to the territory in question, or that any obli
gation is created by offers of compromise hereto
fore made and rejected, may well look upon the
parallel of AU° as a just and equitable line of par
tition. I repeat I find no fault with this view of
the matter. But this is not the view of the sena,
for from Missouri. He soya the parallel of 4U° is
the line of right, "resulting from the treaty of Utrecht."
-Thus," says the, Senator, "the line of the right is
the best for both. parties," Ate. 'Turfy-nine is the
/biz of right with me." ¢e.
And why is this the line of right? Because it
was established by the treaty of Utrecht. If not
then established,: it isno line of right Aud he who
seeks so to establish it must, prove it. Let the l
honorable senator prove it. I submit to him, ifl
the loose and contradictory notices he has brought':
forward, are sufficient prooiS of the existence of a',
great line of national demarcation, under any cir
cumstances, and still less under existing circum
stances, contradicted as they tire by the highest
considerations, and by the Most respectable au
thorities. I submit to him, whether it is wise to
stop his, country's pretensions, without the most
irrefragable evidence that his country:is wrong. -
Is there such evioiepice? , The senator refers
again to the progress off. this negotiation, and in
vokes the acts of Mr. Jefferson and of Mr. Madi
son, as indicative of their opinion. I shall not go
over this ground; only recalling, that all this was
before the Florida treaty, andbefore the discovery
of the error respecting 'the line of Utrecht. Our
rights have since then been extended "by.purchase,
and made knovi - m by correct historical investiga
tions.
The senator says: •
"It is the line of right, resulting from the treaty
c Utrecht, and as such, always looked to, in the
.-ges of this controversy, both by American
and nnush statesmen, as the ultimate,basis 13f set.
tlement and boundary between the countries." "It
,'.. .r.
EMM
is the line of all the American statesmen, without
exception, twenty and forty years ago."
Now, sir, here is a great error, and I tan going
to prove it. lam going to prove that this parallel
of 49" was not the line of all the American states-
men twenty and forty years ago. Nay more, sir,
I am going to prove it was not the line of the
senator himself. And he has given proof by long
years of services, of his right to the title of an
eminent statesman. The task is an easy one. to
he law and to the terstimotry.
In the very first negotiation, in 1818, upon this
subject, after the war, and before the acquisition
of Florida, in the statement of,the claiins of the
United States, Messrs. Rush and Gallatin "did not
-assert that the United States had a perfect right
o the country, but insisted that their claim was
at least good against Great Britain."
in 1623, Mr. Munroe proposed to England and
Russia, as i have already show*, that the parallel
of 51° should be Onr northern bout.dary.
Mr. Rush, in a communication to Mi. Adams,
daetd August 12th, I:B24,itsfotrtred him, that in his
interview with the British ministers, he had claim
ed for the United States, "in their own right, and
as their absolute and exclusive sovereignty, the
whole country west of the Rocky mountains from
the 4:bid degree to at least as far up as the 51st
degree of north latitude."
He says likewise, in the same communication,
that "the claims of the United States above 42d
parallel, as high as lip as 60°—claims as well in
their own right as by their succession to the title
l
of Spain—would henceforth necessarily precicie '
other nations from forming colonial establishments
upon any part of the American coast."
Mr. Rush. in the course of the discussion, re
marks: "It was clear, by the treaty of Paris, of
1763, her territorial rights (those of Great Britain)
were bounded west by the Mississppi."
It is not among the least remarkable incidents
of this remarkable controversy, that in the Amer
ican Senate the existence of this line, even west of
the Rocky mountains, is so peremtorily asserted
that all who but doubt and cull for evidence are
parties to a pie poandre insurrection, a puddle lane
rebellion, which spreads from a clerk in the Depart-
meat of State to this dignified body, baying organ,'
big nod little. Happily for the froth of history "it
now dies. - says the honorable senator, -thc rlenth
of the ritlindori... - And yet the two governments
who conduct and are responsible for the negotiation
otally discredit and disregard this line, riot only
I- a most contemptuous silence, leaving it out of
he discussion, but by asserting pretensions utterly
inconsistent with its existence. Many a weapon
has recoiled, and many an anticipated victory has
been turned into a defeat. King l'riam is not the
only man whose spear fell without etFect, Trim
qur inobelle nine kin runjerit. "Let not him that
girdeth on his ainier boast as he that putted& it
ofF."
On the 18th of August, 1&t1, the honorable sen
ator from Missouri delivered a speech in this body
on the subject of the Ashburton treaty, in which
he entered at some length into the consideration of
our title to Oregon. In that speech, he stated
that the line of 49° was established by the treaty
of Utrecht as a lice between France and England.
and that we:as the successors of France. Nr ere en
titled to the benefit of it against England. Ile did
not at all consider this line as limiting us to the
north; for he expressly says that. "trahout giving as
what ire were entitled to by the right opts:every and 05
The socomooll of Spain. it would still take from Great
Britain all the ,wanted."
"NoatkA is in latitude 50, being four degree,-;
north of the Colnnt bin. and to that degree did :Ipain
assert and maintain her title against Great Britain
in 1790. But this was not the extent of that right.
Against the British she asserted it to the whole
extent of the coast: against the Russians, (the on
ly real claimants with ourselves in that quarter,)
to latitude 55." WHAT BECOMES OF 'rue BAIT
ISII NOW!
This is certairdy going join up, or I do nut cer
tainly know what janinii»g is.
'Thos. as claiming trim Spain. our title is good
against England throughout the whole coast; against
Russia, to latitude 33. - '
"Our title is clear, that of the British null. She
sets up none; that is she states no derivation of it.
There is not a paper upon the face of the earth, in
which a British minister has stated a title, or es en
a claim. Thee have endeavored to obtain the coun
try by the acts of diplomacy, but base nes er stated
atitle, nor ever can state one."
"No. sir. no Great Britain relies on her own
audacity, and our merchantile lose of peace. Her
title is her will and her arms;
'On the '2d of February, 1813, the honorable sen•
ator, in a debate on the Oregon bill, says, -I grant
that Great Britain will take offence at us, but that
is not the question with me. hits she a right to
take otThrice! That is my question, and that being
decided in the negatit e, I neither rear nor calcu
late conscquences.•' -Courage will head her off.
Fear will bring her upon us. The assertion of our
rights will command her respect; the fear to assert
them will bring us her contempt."
In a speech in the Senate, on the 12th ofJanua
ry, 1843, the honorable senator aaid,nas a fact, that
treaty, (the Nootka Sound treaty) nullifies all
British claim on the northwest coast, as a law,
(it not abrogated by war,) it would still confine
them to the pursuit of hunting and fishing: The
treaty of 1811., I,y wh:cli we acquired all the Span
ish title north of 1.2 ° , has given us all the benefits
of the Nootka Snail treaty, both as a fact and as
a law.; and tested by either, the British are exclu
ded front the northwest coast of America, fur all
the purposes of settlement or colonization."
Now, sir, I thank the honorable senator, be
cause he does not get angry with us fifty four forties
It is for me to reconcile these views with the po
position he now occupies. I confess lam too sim
ple for that. And though I take the nostrum re
commended by him, and rub ray eyes, and rub
again, 1 am still encompassed with darkness visi
ble. I suppose it is because I cannot distinguish
between things and words.
On the 1.27 th of May, 1827, Mr. Gallatin announc
ed to the British commissioners (a fact I have al
ready referred to, but which 1 must again intro
duce in this connexion, even at the hazard of re
petition) that his government did not hold itself
bound hereafter in consequence of any proposal
which it had made for a line of separation between
the territories of the two nations west of the Rocky
mountains; bra wood consider itself at liberty to
contend in their fullest extent for the claims of the l
United States."
If this does not mean that the preceding offers
of 49° and of 51° were offers of compromise,
claiming
less than we were entitled to, then lan
guage has lost its force, or I my power to com
prehend it.
In the session of Congress of 1827—'28, a bill
was reported in the House of Representatives as
sertingour jurisdiction to 54°40'
On the 30th of August, 1845, the American
Secretary of State, in a despatch to the British
minister, says:
"Upon the whole, from the most careful exami
nation which the undersigned has been able to be
stow upon the subject, he is satisfied that the Span
ish American title, now held by the United States,
embracing the whole territory between the paral
lels of 42 degrees, and 34 degrees 40 minutes, is
the best title in existence to this entire region."
Now, sir, who has a right to say, that since
1818, any one administration of the American
government, has considered the parallel of 49° as
the extreme northern limit of our claim? It is
obvious that that line has been offered as a line of
compromise, of concession, of concilliation, and
not recognised as an existing boundary.
Well then, sir, we claim north of 49°. We may
differ in our estimate of the nature of this claim,
and of the strength of our title. To some it may
appear so clear as to justify our assertion of it as a
boundary s at all hazards. While to others it may
appear doubtful, and a proper subject for negotia
tion and compromise. Ido not object to this. But
I do object, and strenuously too, to any attempt on
the part of the Senate to discredit this claim; what
ever it may be. It seems to me unwise, impolitic
indeed unconstitutional, if not dangerous. The
executive, in his negotiations with alcireign goy;
ernment, for the settlemeni of tv grearquestion of
boundary, asserts our titte to a given limit. The
matter is sub ills, to be settled by the pen or by the
sword. 'DOes it become Congress to make a 'for
mal declarution for such, in act, the proposition
of the honorable senator amounts to, that 40° is
our northern boundary, and that the President and
his predecessors have demanded more than we are
entitled to? For it is obvious, that when the sun-1
titer proposes to establish the boundary by treaty,
but that till it is so established the parallel of 49°'
shall be regarded as our northern limit, all the.
country to the north is at 'once abandoned. En-

gland corms to 49° by our act, and a proposal for
compromise will be for her, in , effect, and a pro
posal to divide,the region to the south. So far
she issaire. She has the best of the bargain, for
we begie by ceding to her one-half of the territory
without the slightest consideration on her part-
The fisposition of the other half must abide
events.
This is not the way in which men conduct their
affairs in private life. Wt. should form but a poor
estimate of the wisdom of the man who, claiming
a tract of land, should commence a controversy by
saying to his opponent, This whole land is mine,
but 3 will begin by yielding .to you one-half of it.
Now, let us go to work to make a compromise for
the other half. - But the proposition of the senator,
if I understand him, is to be a legislative ultima
tum. It is a direct interference with the Executive
functions. We had better leave the matter where
the constitution has left it, and where it tan be
much better managed than by congressional inter
ference.
But what could be gained by this 'course under
any circumstances? England claims an undivided
moity of the Oregon territory. If we appropiate to
ourselves the whole country south of 49 0 , without
her consent, we are just as sure to have a contest
with her as if we extended our jurisdiction northof
that line. We should place ouselves in no better
position this act of concession. it would be
Made equally without consideration and without
benefit.
By the assertion of exeluice jurisdiction within
whatever limits, we forcibly evict England from
her possessions, and let it be the whole or a moie•
iry, we equally interferewith her claim., We must
negotiate or come into contact. And if we are to
come into contact let it be for the whale. What
Englishman discredits an English claim? During
the progress of this whole coutroversy,mo man in
England doubts the title of England. He may be !
prepared to compromise; but while he does this,
he compromises in his opinion by concession. He
claims to 42 0 , but if he agrees to retire across the
Columbia river, he does so in a spirit of moderation.
'We may draw lessons of wislom a nd o f patriot
ism, too, from other nations. :Nly own sentiments
are known. I desire to go to, fit ° 4'o and I should
prefer the bill with that specific boundary. But I
would accept it with indefinite limits, leaving the
whole adjust mein to the President. If the amend
ment of the senator prevails, I shall vote against
it.
I notice lately several communications in your
paper recommending Col. W. M CATOLENS. for
the Democratic nomination for Congress. Many
democrats in this neighborhood do not understand
how this is. It is only a few days since we re
ceived the Weekly Mercury and Manufacturer con
taining a letter addressed to lion. Charles Shaler,
and signed by a great many democrats—amongst
them, we find the name of Wilson M . Candless,
calling on Judge Shaler to consent to be the can
didate
of the Democratic party for COngeess.
As we country people are not up to all the no
tions of our city managets, you would canter a
special favor on us, by giving us the whys and
iiliclefores of the sudden change on the part of
Mr. M Candless. We do not mean to disparage
the sort ices of Mr. M Landless; on the contrary
we respect him highly, and would In ive supported
hint cheerfully, but we cannot consent. to adininis
ter to the caprice of city politicians, by first going
into the support at their instance of a particular
man. and then dropping him to take up another.
without good and sufficient reasons.
We are now committed for Judge Shaler, and
e intend to adhere to our position:
A meeting of the Hibernia Greens was held at
the Washington Hotel. on Wednesday evening, the
9th imt. The meeting was organized by appoint
ing Capt. Jos. 0 Bnii.x, Chairman, and John Tier
nan, Secretary.
After a few appropriate remarks from Captain
O'Brien in explanation of the object of the meeting,
Capt. ROBERT PORTER was called upon and ad
dressed the meeting at length in his usual forcible
and eloquent style. After the Captain had taken
his seat the citizens present were called upon to
enroll their names as members of the Hibernia
Greens. and ready to march in defence of their
country. Fifty persons then conic forward and
entered their names as volunteers.

Since our last a much larger amount of business
has been transacted than during the present week.
The money market has become easier, and the
amount of shippin. , in port has been increased by
considerable arrivals from sea, under the influence
of which the rates of transportation to all quarters
have yielded materially. The effect of this favor
able change is visible in the improved prices of
Cotton, Flour, Grain &c , as well as the, increased
activity, in every branch of trade.
The accounts per str. Britannia, with isiverpool
dates, to the sth inst., were not received in an au
thentic shape till this morning, though they were
partly anticipated yesterday by a slip from the
Richmond Enquirer. The news is not important.
The Corn Bill remained in statu quo. and the Cons
trade was consequently at a stand Cotton had not
improved, though the sales in Liverpool, had been
large and prices well supported.
The deficiency in the receipts of Cotton .at all
our ports, as compared with last year's, is now 358,-
017 bales.
Corroa—The market opened on Monday with a
much more buoyant feeling than had existed for
some time previous, and the combined sales of

May 26, 1346. 5
DEAR Sxn:—Our Mr. Jones has been in a very low
state of health for more than a year; he has had the
benefit of the best medical advice our country af
fords,
and also visited your city during last summer,
but found no relief. On the 15th day of April last
ave purchased half a dozen bottles of your TONIC
VERMIPUGE, and half a dozen boxes of SA-AIA
TIVE PILLS. Through carelessness in packing the
articles in a -dry goods box,. one half the Vermifuge
was broken. Mr. Jones commenced:with the pills,
and after taking, a few 'doses '
felt a decided improve
ment. The three bottles of Verrnifuge which came
safe to hand, brought Dom him, he thinks, not less
than ONE THOUSAND WORMS, and perhaps many
more. He is now in better health than he has been
in for years. and we hope a few more- bottles of your
Vermifu"e and Pills will effect a permanent cure.— '-
All our physicians have entirely mistaken his . case -
Prof. Samuel Jaelsore, of your city, at the head. A;
to our responsibility, we have to refer you to Messrs.,
Inskip, Molen & Woodruff, Silk House, Market st,
near Fourth, and Ilieskell, Hoskins &Co., corner or
Fifth and Market sts. Mr. Jones is most anxious to -.
get more of your Pills arid Vermifuge as soon as pos.
