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, !

To this General Cass on Thursday rejoined,
that he 6tilL thought that Mr. Grecnhow had
established the point, and Mr. Benton had failed
to prove that the line had been established.
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.)

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.

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.

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.

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

Ah Irish Letter.
TullymliceVourg, Parish of Ballyrogget, near
BallyBlitchguthey, Jan. 22, lS4f.
My dear JNVpnrip. I haven't cent ynti a 1
ther since the lat time I wrote to you, because
we have moved from our former place of living;
nnd 1 didn't know where a Kther would find
jou; but 1 now wid pleasure take tip my pin
to inform you of the death of your own livin'
uncle Kilpatrick, who died very suddenly lat
week after a lingering illnets of six months.
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.

Tnc Ionoest Bridge ix tub woiud. 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.
