Absolute quiescence in the decision, of .he Ity Manser & Klsolj-. OREGON DKnATK. C5 The following is nn abstract of the im portant debate between Gen. Cass and Col. lien- ton, on the Oregon Boundary : "As tho recent 'episode' in the debate on the Oregon question is now the n!l-absording topic nf conversation at the scat of goverment, and will probably be discussed with the same inter est throughout the country, the points at issue' will probably be better understood from a brief review of the positions assumed, and the argu ments advanced, than from a perusal of tho e hborate speeches of the distinguished Senators themselves: (Jen. Cass, in Ms speech in the Senate cn Tuesday, said that great riouhtB existed as to wheihrr the line of 40 was established by the Commissioner's appointed under the treaty of Utrecht in 1713 for determining the boundry between the possessions of France and Great J j Britain on the North American continent. And ! to prove this, he quoted, among other authori- ''. " book on Oregon of Mr. Gruenhow of this citv, in which it is contended that the Com- rnissioiiers never actpd under Ihst treatv. nnd had never estall it-iid the limits between the British and French possessions in North Amcri- cn. Air. Cass thought the view of Mr. Green- j how was correct. But whether the line was ev- ! J er so established or not, was unimportant. 1 i When it could be shown that the boundary ol d!) ! j ran over the Rocky Mountains westward to the ! reran, so as to hound our claim to the whole of ' I Oroiron. ho would thenceforward agree to close i ! Lis lips nnd never Fay another word as to any i ! rights of tho United States north of t.'iat para!- j lei. j To this. Mr. Benton in the Senate on Wed-, nesdny Mr. Cass being absent undertook to j from Michigan hud fallen.' He would show, by the highest evidence that tho comniiswuers did set, that they did establish the limits be tween France nnd Great Britian in North A- merica, and that the parallel of 43 was one of j l0 :ri) rsttihlished. The applicability of the ' ,rcn,-v o1' Ulroc,lt ,0 11,0 flupftinof boundary he- jtween the United States and Great Britian, ! ! grew out of the puebnseof Louisiana, and was j i coeval with that purchase. lie proceeded to ; show, from the instructions of Mr. Madison. , then Secrotary of State, to Mr. Monroe, Minis- , "verer: it in his speech : 'I now ask, sir. term England, during the administration of Mr. i what rigl.t lias any American sti.trsmnn, or v. hat Jefferson, and the negotiations and correspor.-! ri-ht lms any British stntcsman, to contend that d.-nce which preceded t!ie convention between j Pl,r c,aim' whatever it may be, is not just as the two countries in 107, that the two-fold tact j S"''riM.rth of this line or 10 deg. as it is south was disclosed, that the commissioners did art !"fit?

But it was a matter of no importance whether the fact in dispute were established or not. It was a mere historical fact, which had. no bear ing whatever on the question at issue ai to our title to Oregon. The real question was, whe ther the parallel of 40, as a boundary line be tween England and France, ever was intended to extend over the Rocky Mountains that was tho true and important question, and it was on that question, and not as to whether the line had been established or not, that lie (Mr. C.) planted himself.

The Senator from Missouri had said, in regard to Ihe treaty of Utrecht, that Commissioners were appointed, nnd did establish tho parallel of 40, but he did not say that line run over the Rocky Mountains, and that was the only pirt nf any importance to this Oregon question. There was no diflictilly as to what was our bottndaryFnst of tho Mountains our difficulty lay wholly West of them and the question was whether the parallel of -If) was such a boundary between us and Great Britain as to affect our claim to the whole of Oregon. Mr. Cass then proceeded to review the au thorities quoted by Mr. Benton. The construe tion given to tho motives of Mr. Jefferson, he considered entirely erroneous. The very part oClho treaty which Mr. Jeflcrson wished to j strike out, was tho part which extentcd ourti- tie to the Pacific Ocean, and this ho wished ! oh', that it mi;:ht not alarm Spain with the idea that the United States had any pretensions to the Territory on the Northwest Coast, and oper- I ate unfavorably on the negotiations then pend. ing for the acquisition of r londa. The ground taken by Mr. Cass was, that the treaty of Utrecht established no boundary line west ot the Kocky Mountains, and that therefore "r c,nim was n(n '"'''tea ey any such line in regon. The country on the Pacific was en- tirely unknown nnd unclaimed when the treaty of Utrecht was formed. British negotiations 'n 1 , and Mr. Pakenham in IS 1 1, fix the commencement of the British titlcat the voyage of Copt. Cock in 177S. The treaty of Utrecht fiily provides for establishing laws between 'e French and British colonies, including the Hudson's Bay Company. The British held nothing west of that company's possessions. which by the charter included -land.-, countries elaim the country to the Pacific, so as to divide it between them, for so lute as the Nooik.i C( nven!ion, in 17i0, the British government l expressly recognized the Spanish title to ll"t country, and claimed only tho end of it for l'CT sulijects, in common wilfi those of Spain.

Saturday, April II, ISiG. From the Watet-'Ctire JoKrnnl. January USlh, 1S1G. Mr. Editor,! could not but remark, while looking over Dr. Combe's Principles of Physin , ljry, the change which has taken place within n few years in regard to the treatment of di Fcnsefi of tho chet ntitl lung. Ho says, (page 17:3, HarDcr's edition,) "The second requisite to the well being of tho lungs and to tho free and salutary exercise of respiration, is a due supply of firh and hrnlthy blood. Where, from defective food or imparied digestion, tho blood is impoverished in quality and rendered unfit for adequate nutrition, the Jungs sprrdihj suff er, and that of;cn to a fatal extent. Su certain is this tho case, that in the lower animals ctrr cliscan be produced in the lung lo almost any extent, by withholding a sufficiency ojnau fishing fond. The same circumstances operate to a lementable extent in our manufacturing towns, among the poorly fed population; where as it is proverbial that butchers a class of men who eat animal food twice or three times a day, and live much in the open air, are almost exempt from pulmonary consumption." It is necessary, he says, to furnish the food which will most easily combine with the oxygen in the lungs, in order to protect the already too weak tissues from its Mtackr. Now, the treatment serm9 tn be, especially with hydrebnthists, to reduce the amount of food to the lowest point, and that too the least nutritions, while the blood is being still more impoverished by copimisdrnughts of cold water. Fearing to econpy nu re of your time, I will close, with the hope, that as this is a subject in teresting to many, yon will give it a few words in your Journal. BtMARKs. Ot.r correspondent is mistaken in his impression, that -ve, r.j hydropathists, re duce the amount of fond to the lowest point. As physiologists, we say, that in this and every country, and in all periods of time, wherevr human beings have had the means, the habitual taking of too great an amount of fond, has been one ofthe most prolific sources rf disease. In all systems of healing, it should be a prominent ob ject to remove, as fir as possible, the causes of dh-ease; nnd, in order to do this, the dietetic nnd other habits must be regulated. It is often supposed that all we have to do, in many cases, is to give a large amount of nourishment. Hence the common expressions, "genero'is diet, "strengthening diet," "full diet," &c, &c Du ring the last stages sf pulmonary consumption, pntirnts are often recommended to take freely rf rich food, the more the better, so long es there is any appcti'e : and this is don with the view of sustaining the individual. Wc should alv.ay Lear in mind one fact, that a weakened system cannot receive and change into healthy blood, flesh, bone, &c, so great an amount rf food as a strong healthy system. We tittiy then easily overtax the system, nnd thus oppress nnd weaken it by to.i miieii fo-d. Ne ther ninnnor animnls live but a short time if the food is nf a rich concentrated character, s sugar, oil, r.r fat; and even wheaten bresd, in which the bran has been separated, is so r ch that it soon de stroys life, whereas, if the coarse inn'ittitious bran is left unsepanted, no such result oc cur'. Individuals have been sustained for a long time upon e.iarse bread and water alone, but never upon fine. Magendie, the celebrated ex perimental physiologist of Paris, nourished dogs upon fine bread ami water, and found that in variably the animals died in 7 weeks, varying a day or two,- but on substituting coarse bread, the dogs thrived peifeetly well. It is a law, then, of the animal system, tint fxid must con-si.-t in pntt oi'i'inulrilinvs mutter. la hypodrnpathy we often find that patients in cn o.-o in fl"slt, although tiie amount of food ia- l;en is iliminitiir,;. la N'o. ,1, pa-e 71, of the prefciit voluoie of tho Journal, wiil bo found a cusi, (that of Mr. A'leii r f Troy,) in which theri' was a remarkable increnue t.( flesh, while, at the same time, the diet was nfsiich a charac ter as would gem-rally be supposed to be insuf ficient. The" true tact of the cas is, that the weakened energies ofthe system were aroused into vigorous nnd mere vigorous action by wa ter externally and iuti ru iliy applied, and a na tural increase ot tin; flesh was the result. The food was more perfectly (lighted, and an im proved s'ste of all the fluids and solids of the syeieui was brought about. It is an erroneous notion that water impover ishes the blood. Vi'uter it a powerful agent, and may be made to allect the system very in juriously, as every one knows; and it will here arter be found true, that, as a general thing, those undergoing water treatment do loo much, especially in the drinking of water, it never does good, and may cause harm, lo take the cn- j orinous quantities ot water that some do. The best general rule, as we have elsewhere said, will be to drink as thirst demands. Cause thirst by exertion of body, and then the water is advantageously taken. Concerning the diet and health of butchers, we do not believe that, as a general thing, they eat any more animal food tfjan people in gener and immediate parent of dc.poti.m.-JMSKRSotr. Vol. .o. Whole No, 2S. al J and probably they do not as much, fur they are more or less c'oyed by tho constant efllu via arising from the meat : nor do we believe that butchers are any more healthy than the ttencrality of persons who have aa much out door exercise as they. It has long been a fash, ion to quota butchers, ns affording an example in procf ofthe good effects of flesh eating. But facts nre often entirely misapprehended. Ed. Jotn. Tli sin nnd I'olly of Scolding. "Fret not thyself in any wise to do evil." Psalms xxxvn-1'2 1. It is a sin against God. It is an evil and only evil, and that continually. David under stood both htitnnn nature and the law of God. He says "Fret not thyself in anywise to do evil." That is, never fret or scold, for it is al ways a sin. If you cannot Fpeak without fret itig am! scolding, keep silence. 2. It destroys ajTtction. tio oneevcrdid, ever can, or ever will love an habitual frettcr, fault finder orEColder. Husbands, wives, child ren, relatives, or domestics, have no affection for peevish, fretful fnult-finders. Few tears are shed over the graves of such. Persons of high moral principle may tolerate them may bear with them. But they cannot love them more thnn the sting of nettles or the noise of musqui toes. Many a man has been driven to the tavern, nnd tn dissipation by a peevish, fretful wife. Many a wif, has been made miserable by a peevish, fretful husband. Jl. It is the banc of domestic, happiness. A fretful, peevish, complaining, t'.iult-fiiider in a family is like the continual chafing of an in A imed sore. Woe to tiie man, woman or child who is exposed to the influence of such a tem per in another. ,ue tenths of all domestic trials and nnhappiiiess spring fron; this source. Mrs. 1). is of this tempf r.unerit. She wonders her husband is not more fond of her company. That her children give her so much trouble. That domestics do not like to work for her. That s:ie cannot secure the good will of young people. The truth is. she is peevish and fret ful. Children fear her, but do not love her. She never yet gained the affection of a young person, nor never will, till she leaves off fret ting. 4. It defents the pnd of Family Govern ment. Good family government is the blending authority with affection, so as to secure respect and love. Indeed this is the great secret of managing young people. Now your fretters may inspire fear, but they nlways make two faults where they correct ot,e. Scolding at a child, fretting at a child, sneering at a child, t-.tintirg a child, treating the child as though it had no feeling", inspires dread and dislike, and fos'er those very dispositions, from which many of the fuiltsof childhood proceed. Mr. G. and Mid Mr. F. nre of this class. Their children urc made to mind ; but how.' Mrs- F. frets and scolds her children. She is severe enough upon their faults. She seems to watch them in imler to find fault. She sneers at them. Tr-'ats them as though they had no feclingsi, She seldom fcives a command without a threat and a long-running fault-finding commentary. When she hides, it is not done in a dignified m inner. She raises her voice, puts on a cross look, threatens, strikes them, pinches their ears, snaps their heads, ecc. The children cry, pout, sulk, and poor Mrs. F. has to do her work over pretty often. Then she will find fault with her liusbtrJ because ho docs not fall in with her ways, or chime with her as chorus. .'). 1'irltin'f nnd scolding viuhe Hypocritt s. As a Iretler nev r receives confidence and af feetien ;o n one likes to tell them anything disagreeable, and thus procure for themselves a flitting. Now, children conceal as much as they can from pUcli persons. They cannot nvilio up tl.eir minds to be frank and openhcar ted. So hiiatvinds conceal from their wives and wives from their husbands. For a man may brave a lii.n, but ho likes nut to come in contact with nettles and mosquitoes. ti. .' destroys tint's peace of mind. The mor one frets the inoro ho. may. A frettcr will always have enough to fret at. Especially it he or she has the bump ol order and neatness largely developed. Something will always be out i f place. There will always be some dirt some dirt some -there. Others wiil not eat rieht, look ripl I, sit right, talk right lie will not do tilths things so as to please them. And fretters ure rcnerally so selfish as to have no regarJ for any one's comfort but their own. 7. It is a tnark rf a vulgar disposition. Some persona have so much gall in their dispo sition, are so selfish, that they have no regard to the feelings ot others. All things must be done to the ladings oi others. They make their husbunds, wives, children, domestics, the con ductors by which their spleen and ill-nature are discharged. Wo to the chiliirea who are er- posed to buth influence?. It inakea them cal lous and unfeeling, and when they grow up they pursue the same course with tlmir manage meat, nd thus the race of fretters ij perpetu ated. Any person w ho is in the habit of fretting cr sneering, taunting their husbands, wives, chil dren or domestics, tdinwa either a bad disposi tion or else ill-breeding. For it is generally your ignorant, low bred people that are guilty of auch 'lungs. , 1'inCKS OF AlirEttTlSlSft. 1 square 1 insertion, (II 69 1 do 8 do . 0 75 I do 3 do .

The poor man was in violent convulsion tho whole time, of his sickness, lying parfectly quate and spachless, all the while talking in coharently and crying for wather. 1 had no ep portunity of informing you of his death sooner, excipt I wrote to you by the last post, which wint off two days before he died, and thin you'd hid postage to pay. I am at a loss to tell what his death was ockasioned at but t fear It was by his last sickness, for he niver was tin day thegither during the whole time of his confine mcnt and I belave his death was ockasioned by his atin two much of rabbits Bluffed wi I pays and graty, or pays and gravy stuffed wid rabbits, I can't tel which but be that as it will, 09 soon as he brathed his last, the docthrN gave over all hopes of his recovery. I needn't tel you anything about his hage, for you well know that in March nixt, ho would hav. been twinty five years owld, lackin' tin months; nnd had he lived till that time, he would thin hav bin jist s'x months dead. His propherty no v devolves to his next, kin, whoa'.l died some tim ago, so that I expict it will be devilled betwnui us, nnd ynu know his propherty was very cor sitherable, for he had a fine estate, which wn sowld to pay his rlihts, nnd the reniiinthrr be lost in n horse race; but it wjs the opinion of ivery body at the time, that hr? would have won the race if the horse ha run nginst hadn't bin too fast fiir him. I niver saw a man, and the dccthersall say so, that obarrod directions er tuck medicine hether than he did. lie sa;d he would as lave hither asswate, if it had only the sametasle and Ipicakianna as wiskey punch if it would only put him in tho same humor for fightin. But, ooor sow!, he will niver ate m;f dhrink mores and ye have't a livin relashion in the world excipt mysef ond your two cousins who were kill in the last war. 1 can't dwell cn this mournful (ubj-ct, nnd shall sale my lether wid black salin wax and put on it your uncle's coat of arms, so I b"g you net to brake the sale whin you open the lether, end don't opin it till three or tour days efthur you re save it, by which time yon will be prepared for the sorrowful tidins. Your owld swatehart sinds her love to you unknowns to me. Whin Tarry M'Gee arrives in Amerika, nx him for this lether, and ifliedisn't know it from thr rest, tell him its the one that spakes about your uncle's death and saled in black. I remain your affectionate owld Granmnther, JUDY O'lIOOLlGAN. To Larry O'llooligan, hte ofthe tiwn of Tol- lymucclescrag, Pariih of Billyrsgget, near Ballysluchguthey, in the county c!

TIit land ofthe Celestials boasts the largest bridge in tho world, and this, according to travellers, is tho briJge rf Liyang, over an arm of the sea in China. It is built, says that instructive periodi eal, "77ie Builder" in a similar way as it length is slid to extend to SiJ.SOO Paris feet, and comprises 300 arches, or rather opening of pillars. These are not overspread by arches, but there arc placed nbove them large slabs of stone. Which, from theroidway 70 feet bread. The distance of the pillars is nearly 71 lert, the latter being 70 feet high, and 15 broad, and strengthened w ith Btone facing", of the form of triangular prisms, which extend over the wholu height of tho pillars up to tho transveiatl shbs. The latter (ot course more than 70 feet long) extend in breadth to 13 feet in thicknes. ( Ither reports, however, assign no more than 43 tee!, old Paris measure, to the distance ofthe pillars, nd only 41 feet to breadth and thickness of tin transversal slabs by which, of course, the lentt of the bridge is reduced one-half, even so, it would be an astonishing structure, being six limes the length ofthe longest bridge in Europe, viz: the Pont de St. Esprit, at Lyons. The parapet is, according to ome reports, t rail.'rg, according toothers, a balustrade, and every p i lar supports a pedestal on which a lion, Jl feet long, and made of one block of marble, is placed. n.u;tD Ijpuw Prnpno.
