tion of all duties paying over 30 per cent to the
amount of one fourth, provided that no duties be
reducedto less than 30 per cent. Duties paying
32,34,30, 38 and 40 per cent would be reduced to
30 per cent, and those above would be reduced one
fourth, none falling below 30 per cent.
- The bill also proposes a tax upon tea and coffee,
and the revenue lost by the reduction of duties
upon the former articles, it is proposed shall be
made up on tea and coffee. This compromise has
been submitted to Mr. Calhoun as well as Mr
Webster. Mr. Cathou% reiards it as just, and
has agreed to support the bill provided some lead-
log men upon the other side would go to work
with him. This has been done, and Mr. Webster,
it said, will act with him. -
• You are to remember that the Bill, as proposed,
is generally prrpaied by business men.
The proposition is to strike out the first five
sections of the Bill, and insert—

THE OREGON TREATY.
ORNING POST.
OFFICIAL CORRESPONDENCE
Message from the President of the United States, corn
municating a proposition on the part of the British
Gurernment, for the adjustment of the Oregon ques
tion.
To the Senate of the United States
I lay before the Senate a proposal in the form of
a Convention, presented to the Secretary of State on
the GM inst., by the Envoy Extraordinary and :Min
ister Plenipotentiary of her Britannic Majesty, for the
adjustment of the Oregon question, together with
a protocol of this, proceeding. I submit this pro-
posal to the consideration of the Senate, and re
quest their advice as to the action which, in their
judgment, it may - Le proper to take in reference to
it.
In the early periods of the Government, the opin
ion and advice of the Senate were often taken in
advance upon important questions of our fdreign
policy. General :Washington repeatedly consulted
the Senate, and asked their previous advice to which ,
he always conformed his action. This practice.:
though rarely resorted to in latter times, was, in!
my judgement, eminently wise, and' may, on oeca
sions of great importance. be properly rent
The Senate are a branch of the treaty-making pow
er, and by consulting them in advance of his own
action, upon important measures of 'foreign policy
which may ultimately come before them for con-:
sideration. the President secures harmony of action
between that body and himself. The Senate are
a branch of the War-making power, and it may he'
eminently propel' for the Executive to take the
opinion and advice of that body in advance upon!
any great question Vk hich may involve in its de.l
vision the issue of peace or war. On the present
occasion the magnitude of the subjecrwould in-I
duce me, under any circumstances, to desire they
previous advice of the Senate, and that desire is!
increased by the recent debates arid proceedings in
Congress, which render it in my judgment, not only
respectful to the Senate, but necessary and proper. ;
if not inclispensible to insure harmonious action I
between that body and the Executive. In confer--I
ring on the Executive the authority to glee the!
notice for the abrogation of the Convention of 1b27
the Semite acted publicly so large a part, that the
decision on the proposal now made by the British
Government, without a definite knowledge of the
views of that body in reference to it. might render!
the question still more complicated and difficult ofl
adjustment. For these reasons, I invite the con-
sideration of the Senate to the proposal of the Brit.;
ish Government for the settlement of the Olegou!
question, and ask their advice on the subject.
:lly opinions and myaction on the Oregon ques-!
tion were fully made known to Congress in rev
annual message of the iid December last, soil
the opinions therein expressed rCatain unchanged.
Should the Senate. by the Constitutional major-;
ity required for the ratification of Ticaties, advise
the acceptance of this proposition, or advise it
with such modifications as they may upon full
deliberation deem proper, I shall conform my ac•
trim to their advice. Should the Senate, boo I r de.!
cline by such C'onstitutioind mujcrity to glee such act
rice, or to erpress an piton on the snip c!, / coo.
sider it my they to reject the Ter.
I also communicate herewith an extract from a
despatch of the Secretary of State to the miiiister
of the United States at London, under date of the
25th of April last, directing him in accordance. ,
with the joint Resolutions of Congress, -Concern-I

I herewith transmit a notice for the ahrugation
of the Convention of the 6th August, iSv7, le
tvieen Great Britain and the United states, in ac
cordance with the terms presorted in its second
article. This paper you will delver to her Brit
tannic Majesty in person or to her Majesty s prin
cipal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, aster
you shall have ascertained vihich of the-e modes
of presenting it will he must in accordance with
her Majesty's wishes. A duplicate of the same
is transmitted, to be placed on file in the archi%es
of your legation.
As the abrogation of this Consention is an act
of an important and solemn character, the deliv
ery of the Notice ought to be attested with all
due formality. The mode is left entirely to your
discretion; but, I would suggest that it might be
made the subject of a protocol, in triplicate; one
copy of which should remain with the British
Government, another with the Legation in London,
and the third be transmitted to this Department.
In the remarks which you may hale occasion
to make on the delivery of the Notice• the langu
age of the preamble to the 'Joint Resolution con•
cerning the Oregon ,territory," roust necessarily be
your guide. 1 • • Congress have spoken their
will upon the subject, in their Joint Resolution,
and to this it is his (the President's) and your duty
to conform.

Whereas, the Congress of the United state- h.r..c
adopted a "Joint Resolution concerning the Ore

I ,tiristisis, by the convention concluded the
twentieth day of October, eighteen hundred and
eighteen, between the United States of America
and the King of the United Kingdom of GI eat Bri
tain and Ireland, for the period of ten years, and
afterwards indefinitely extended and continued in
force by another convention of the same parties,
concluded the nth day of August, in the year cd
our Lord one thousand eight hundred and twenty
seven. it was agreed that any country that may be
claimed by either party on the northwest coast of
America westwardof the Stony or Rocky Moun
tains, now commonly called the Oregon territory,
should, together with its harbors, bays, and creeks,
and the navigation of all rivers within the same,
be "free and open" to the vessels, citizens, and sub
jects of the - two Powers, but without prejudice to
any claim which -either of the parties might have
to any part of Said country; and with this further
provision, in the second article of the said conven
tion of the sixth of Airmst, eighteen hundred and
twenty-seven, that either party might abrogate and
annul said omtventien, on giving due notice of
twelve months to the other contracting party.
"And wstrails, it has now become desirable
that the respective claims of tab United States and
Great Britain should be definitely settled, and that

aWitla a s - ies, therefore, that steps be taken for

the abrogation of the convention of the Gth August,

by ;be persons employed in the service of the foi
mei. Company, and as auxiliary to their gee ercl
business of twitting and trapping rather than ta
a view, as it has been generally supposed, of colo
sizing, or of permanent settlement.
Lowly—The proposition will demand for the
Hudson s Bay Company. the right of freely navi
gating the Columbia river. It will, how ever. as I
understand, disrla;rn the idea of sovereignty, or
of the right of exercising any jurisdiction or po
lice whatever, on the part of the government, or
of the Company, and will contemplate only the
right of navigating the river upon the same foot
ing and according to the same regulations as may
be applicable to the citizens of the United States
I have already acquainted you that Lord Aberdeen
has very positively and explicitly declined to treat
of the navigation of the St. Lawrence in connec
tion with that of the Columbia; and that even if
it were desirable to us to propose the one for the
other, he would on no account enter into any ne
gotiation in regard to the ft. Lawrence.
• • • • I have no cause to change the
opinion, that in any attempt to divide the Oregon
territory, the obligation felt by this government to
protect the rights of their subjects, which may
have been acquired or have grown up during the
joint occupation, would most probably interpose
the greatest difficulty in the way of an amicable
adjustment. And it is now obvious that the pro
posed reservation of the right ,-to the Hudson's
Bay Company of freely navigating the Columbia,
and that in favor of the British occupants north of
the river, proceed from this source; although it
is probable that more or less pride may be felt at
giving up now, without what they may deem an
adequate equivalent, what has been hitherto tender
ed lay our negotiators.
In fact, except in the surrender to the United
States of the title of the lands not occupied by
British subjects between the Columbia and they 9th
parallel, and also the surrender over the river and
thecountry within thesame limits, I am afraid it may,
with some plausibility, be contended that there is
no material difference between the present propo
sition and that offered to Mr. Gallatin by Messrs.
Addington End litg.kicon,theßritish negotiators, in
scarcely necessary for me to state that the
proposition, as now submitted, has not received
my countenance. • • • • • 1 .
have therefore felt it reyduty to discourage the ex
pectauan chat it would he accepted by the r•re.
dent.; cr, tfbulx.”..:tted to that body approved by the
Senate.
I do not think there can be roach doubt, how
ever, that an empression has been produced here
that the Senate would accept the proposition now
offered, at least without any inatelial modification.
and that the President would not take the responsi
bility of rejecting it without conshlting the Senate.
If there be any reasonable ground to entertain such
an impression, however erroneous, an offer lLss ob
jectionable, in the first instance at least, could hard
ly be expected.
It may be considered certain, also, in my opin
ion, that the now to be made is not to be
submitted as an ultimatum, and is not intended as
such; though I base lesson to know Mr. Paken
barn will not be authorised to accept or reject any
modification that may be proposed on our part;
but that he will, in such case, be instructed , to re
-1 fer the modification to his Government.
It is not to be disguised; since the Presidents
annual message, and the public discussion that
has subsequently taken place in the Senate, it will
lie difficult, if not impossible, to conduct the nego
tiation in its future stages, without reference to
the opinion of Senators, or free from speculation
as to any degree of control they may exercise
over the result. Whatever thereforepight be pru
dent and regular in the ordinary course of things,
think it is of the utmost importance, upon the
present occasion, if the President should think
proper to propose any modification of the oiler to
be made by Mr. Pakeuham, that the modification
should be understood as possessing the concurrence
of the co-ordinate branch of the treaty poWer.
It is not easy to conjecture, with any certainty.
the extent to which this Government might, be in
duced to modify the proposition, even if they
should be assured that the senate, no less than the
President demanded it. It must not escape obser
vation that, during the preceding administration of
our gov ernment, The extension of the line on the
-fifth parallel to the ;trait of Fuca, as now pro
posed by Lord Aberdeen, was actually suggested
by my immediate predecessor as one he though
his government niight accept; and that, in regard
to those English subjects vv ho would be left with
in American jurisdiction by adopting that bounda
ry. he considered the provisions of the recond
ar
ticle of Jay's Treaty as a precedent for a con% eni
ent mode of dealing w them
By the second arti,dr of Jay's Treaty. however,
British subjects would ltot only be secure& in the
absolute title,of all thei4 lands and effects. as bully
as by Lord Aberdeen's proposition, but would be
allowed the option to cdntinue as British subjects
and without any allegiance to the Govemnient of
the United States. which. according to Lord Aber
deen's offer. as I understand it. they would not
possess_ In point of fact. therefore, the sUbstan-
Ind points of the present offer, and those!wthch
may be expected to be regarded as most objecliom
Ade, are little more than the embodiment of the
carious offers and suggestions which at different
time,. hate, in tome form or other, preceded from
our own negotiators.
I have myself always believed. if the extension
of the me of b.tundary on the Ll'inh parallel by
:he Strait ot Fuca to the sea would be acceptable to
our g.overnment, that the demand of a right freely
:0 navigate the Colombia river, could he compro
mised upon a point of time by conceding it for
such a period as might be necessary for the trade
of the limbon s Bay Company, north and• south
of the Vith parallel. Entertaining great confi
dence in that opinion, and therning it only rea
sonable, that. (torn an early period, I
have used even• arannient and persuasion an my

slew taken of the subject by this Government.
and not at all likely in my opinion to be changed.
I may add. too, that I have not the least reason
to suppose it would be possible to obtain the ex
tension of the -19th parallel to the Fen, SO OS to give
thelouthern Cape of Van coos ens Is:land to the tint
lilted States.
It may not be amiss tefore leaving this subject,
to call your attention to the position of the present
Ministry. The success of theii. measures respect
ing the proposed Commercial relaxations is quite
certain, and the Corn Bill having now finally pas
sed the House of Commons, may be expected at
no remote day, to pass the Lords by a majority no
!e.Fs decisive From that time, however, the tie
which has hitherto kept the Whig party in sup
port of t.'ir Robert Peel, will be dissolved, and the
determination of the Protectionist party, who sup
pose themseli es to have been betrayed, to drive him
from office, has lost none of its vigor or power.
Indeed, it is confidently . reported, in quarters enti
tled to great respect that they have even offered to
the leader of the Whig party to select his own time,
and that when he is ready they will be no less pre
pared to force Ministers to resign. I base reason
to know that, at present, Ministers themseltes be
lieve a change to be inevitable, and are considering
only the mode and the time in which it will most
likely happen. It will not be long, after the suc
cess of the measures for the repeal of the "Corn
laws," before opportunities enough for the accomp
lishment of this object will occur. The "Factory
bill" regulating the - hours of labor, will afford one,
and most probably that on which the change will
take place. With a knowledge that the change,
sooner or later, must be unavoidable, and that the
offer has been made to the probable head of a new
Ministry to selecehis own time, may it not be ex
pected that instead of waiting quietly to allow the
Whig leader to select the time of coming in, the
present Itlinistetwill rather select his own time and
mode of going out, and, with his usual sagacity so
regulate his retirement as to leave as few obstacles
as possible to his restoration to power? In that case,
it is not very unlikely he would prefer going out
upon the "Factory bill," before taking ground upon
more important measures—and if it will not
surprise me to witness the 'coming in of a new
Ministry at the end of June or earlier. With a
knowledge of the proposition now to be made, I
am not prepared to stiy that one more objection:
might have been appointed from a Whig minist
unless,• indeed, the Present government may
supposed to be prepaied to accept the qualificati,
when proposed by the President, which it was
willing at fifst to off4r. Upon that supposition
might be desirable that the modifications sho
be offered before the coming in of a new Minis
who, finding only the acts of his predecess.
without a knowledge of his intentions, might
be so ready to take the responsibility of assent,
to a change.

Rheum ' 4c.--Who would seratch for

diseases of the skin; if they knew what would re
lieve and cure them? 'Tis horrible to be obliged
to rub and scratch wbeh alone, but more horrible
to abstain from it (for decency's sake)" -when in
company. Let it be remembered that DR. LEI
DY'S TETTER AND ITCH OINTMENT is the
most efficacious of any other . preparatiock in exist
ence in curing the Tetter, Itch, and other diseases
of the skin. As all diseases of the skin roust arise
from the impurity of the blood and fluids of the
body, and where such diseases may be of long
standing, and the constitution effected. thereby, if,
Dr. Leidy's Sarsaparilla Blood Pills be used with
the ointment, they will cure any' case ivhatever,
and if they do not, the Money "will be returned by
Dr. Leidy. Most cases, however, will he effectu
ally cured by Di. Leidy's Totter and Itch Oint•
-
ment, unless the whole system is impregnated' by
the diseased humors, which will be completely
carried off from the system by Dr.' Leidy's BlOod
Pills, and the surface of the skin healed- by the
Ointnient. Price of Ointment, 25 cents. Pox sale

SELLERS , Livgß PILLS—For Ague and Fever.
The liver is more or lesiont of order in all at
tacks of fever and ague, so much so that the ague is
not always curable unless the liver is first set right.
Attete; ts to check Agues by Quinine, when the-Liver
is diseased, frequently brings on general Dropsy. If
the Liver Pills be used before taking quinine,
and
cautiously continued after it, so as to keep the bow
els open according to the general directions, not only
will return of chills be less frequent, but the cure
will be more perfect. The Liver Pill is particularly
useful in all agneish sections of the country. In all
regions, the liver is so often in a bad state as to be
concerned in producing a large portion of their mal
adies. Let the resident population give it a fair trial;
keep their bowels open with the pill;take in each case
twenty grains of quinine between the chills to check
diem, and fifteen grains every eight or ten:days ar
terwards, for several weeks, and they will seldom
need a physician for Ague and Fever. Prepared and
sold by • R. E. SELLERS,

rf tHE SKIN AND COMPLEXION, at this (and,
_L. indeed, every other) season, is often repulsive
iu appearance, caused, in eight cases out of ten, by
the atmosphere; and what persons suppose disease
of the blood, is simply a disease of the, skin. If
some of the thousands . ho take purgative medicine,
pills, and useless Sarsaparilla; were to use on their
skin a softening and clearing balm, that opens the
pores, whitens the skin, and causes a healthy perspi
ration, that, be the skin never so disfigured, unheal
thy, or diseased with pimples or freckles, simbum,
tan and morphew, the true and. genuine JONES'S
ITALIAN CHEMICAL SOX? 'never 4tl' a' to cure
and dispel them, and to make the skin clear and
lovely. It acts so mildly and soothingly on the
skin, that physicians use it on lailies.4ed infante, in
old cases of scurvy,crysipel as, salt rheum, sore head,
ringworm, and it (mind, the gpnpine Jones' soap)
has often effected a cure when every. Faker remedy
failed. Iris indeed a blessed remedy.
