The Oregon Treaty wat ratified hy the Bri
rUh Government, nnder tht teal of the new Fo

In the Home of Lords, on the 17th of July,
(he Marquis of Landsdowne rose and said, that
tt was his duty to lay before their lordships and
the House, the treaty which had just been con
i luld Ix-1 ween Her Majesty and the Govern'
ment of the United States, in reference to the
Orrgon Territory ; ha had the satisfaction of in
' forming their lordships that ratifications had that
day been exchanged. . A similar motion was
mnde in the House of Commons, by Lord' Pa!ro
erston, wheappeared at the bar, and stated that
he had a paper to present, hy command of Her
Majesty. '
The new Miuistry hat got to work, and the
business of the country it again in a state of pro
gression. All the members have been returned
without opposition, except Mr. Macauley and
Lord Ahinton. In every quarter a disposition
exists to give the new appointments a fair trial.
In consequence of the excitement now with the
exception of the sugar duties, there is no promt
neiit question likely to embarrass the ministry
or tost their capability. The affairs of this ses
sion of Parliament will ba wound tip probably
by the mid lie of August.
The great movement to reimburse Mr. Cob
ilea for ths loss of health and money is progress
ing apace. There seems every chance that the
hundred thousand poundt Gxed upon aa the max
turn of the amount to ba given to bim will be
raised.
Efforts will be made to raiae a splendid monu

tubtciiptiona throughout the British empire, as
an expression of the nation 'a gratitude.
Ttvo Days I.aler from Mexico.
The Mobile Herald, of July 27th, contains
the following Ictttr from t Correspondent, un
der date of Pcnco!t, July 25th, 1846:
Sir The United State frigate Raman,

Crux, which place ahe lett on the 27ih inst.,
bringing dates two days later than received by
the Princeton. Vera Cruz papers of the 15th
and lGlh, publish the newt of the Oregon Tree
tv, under the head ot very important new.
Tho papers state that in consequence of the
Treaty, the Mexican people are called on to
make incteased efforts to preserve their country
from the rapacity of the robbers nf the Del
Norte. They remind the Mexicans of the
manner in which the French were driven out
of Spain, after Madrid and the cities of the
country were in possession of the enemy. This
was done by guerilla warfare, in which small
parties of the enemy wcro murdered wherever
they were found.
General Po redes had not left the city of Mex
ico. It war found impossible to raise a body of
even five thousand men to follow him, while it
was the opinion of all well informed persona,
t'.iut there is nothing to prevent General Tay
lor inarching directly to the city of Mexico,
Tlire are no troop to oppose him. ,
General Scoti's iJcas of the rainy season have
caused rrn:ch mirth among those residing in the
neighborhood of the cities ot Mexico and Vera
Cruz. Ti:cro ia no finer climate in the world
than that of the highlands ol Mexico, which
are readied near Monterey.
Gon. Moro, the commander of the Caatle and
rify of Vera Cm?, who ha succeeded the Vice
President, D:avo, unentered urnntlio perform

hundred men at work every morning on the
low sandy beach adjoining the Car, tie, where
he hat thrown up additional breast works.
Ahoot sunrct, the soldiert ire exerciw-d at

calibre, and throw shot to great distance.
The American Kjuodroit ia anchored under
Grren Island. The cpinioa expressed by Gen.
Gaines that the castle can only be taken by es
calade, or boarding, aa "Jack" calls it, seems
to hove become the general belief. This the
tailoraot the squadron are eager to undertake.

The Mormons, in accordance with this ar

The Matamorns Flag give a Ion? account of
the road to Monterey, towards which the army
of the Unitt'd Statea hat commenced ita March.
The prrina mint depot is at Camnro, on the.
San Juan River, threo miles from the Rio
Grande. ' Thit point ie the head of navigation,
and it is fur this that the advancing army will
leave the Rio Grande. The road upon leaving
Ca mar o-o and crossing the San Jo in, becomes '
higher, and leas obstructed by swampy grounds.
The distance to Monterey is 210 miles.
The literal meaning of Mowtrey U the
King's ll'nu'i, but it would term more appro
priate to call it a grove of brush. It is a com
mon snying with Tcxsns who have travelled
through this forest, that "it's so thick you can't
shove a bowie knifo into it." The whole dis
tance is well watered from Auguet until March,
plenty of wood, reseonnble pasture, msny herd
of cattle, numerous flocks of sheep and goats,
and now and then a email decayd vi"sge. There
are natural positions on the road, which, if
taken advantage ol by a skiifull snd daring ene
my, would proves second Thermopylae to those
who might have the temerity to tread these
formidable passes. , The American army will
no doubt look ahead before entering these dan
gerous tnd shady pavilions.
When within fi'teen leagues of Monterey,
the village of CaiJerete prescn's itself, enjoy.
ing the most lovely situation, standing upon
perfectly level plain, surrounded with green
groves, presenting everlaMing summer; the
fielda blessed with natural fertili'y. The be
holder involuntarily rxclnima; thy should a
Mexican toil or labor! . .
Yakkk Fpiiut. An illoMrst'on of tru
Yankee rpirit, which occurred in the Army is
related in the Delta, of New (Vienna. Four
young men from Maine found, that by enlifting.
tnd observing while in the army a rigid system
of sobriety and economy, they would rather im
prove than dissipate their fortune. Ae com
rades they entered the army, and aa comradea
they continued in it; lining their iluliea like
good aoldiere, but husbanding their pay like
provident men who looked forward for a there
after. - The term of their enlistment expired a
few days before the battle of Palo A'to, and they
were paid and discharged. They had, each of
hem, some three or four hundred dollars, which
with their thrift, intelligence and industry, was
a capital quite sufficient to insure them an inde
pendence in the lumber business of their native
State. On learning that a battle was expected
in a few days, they again deposited their money
with the Paymaster, asked permission to take
their old place in th'ir respective, companies,
and tq be suffered toiskj part in the performan
ces just aa long as they wnuM last. Their re
quest waa granted ; they nobly sustained their
parts in the military dance of the two glorious
dsys the8ih and Oth of Moy. The deadly
atrife over, they called for their temporarily de
posited pay it was cheerfully givtn them ;
they bid a long farewell to the "pride, pomp and
circumstance of glorious war," l It on board
the first boat, and they aro by thia time "op to
their eyes" in the lumber butincse in the State
pi Maine.

veiy large and respectable meeting was held at
the conrt house, on Monday, by ths democratic
citizens of this county, for the purpose of expres
sing their view on the passage of McKay's tnrilT
bill. The proceedings, which will ba found in
another column, are strong and emphatic in their
language. The people feel that they have been
wronged greviotuly wronged, and are deter

cannot ait in ailence, and see their bt-st interests

It is with great pleasure that we announce the
nomination of Judge Grier, of Pittsburg, as Judge 1
of the Supreme Court of the United States, in
place of Judge Baldwin, dee'd. : Hia nomina

in thia place. He ia not only an able jurist
and s good scholar, but ia universally esteemed
for his social and other qualitiee.

C"Vito. The President hss vetoed the
River and Harbor bill, in Congress. Tbis is a
heavy blow to the interests of some of the West
ern mrmbera, ho are loud in their complaints
against the President. BrinkerhofT said if they
had taken hia advice, they would not have pas
sed tha tariff bill until the River and Harbor
bill had been passed, and signed by the Presi
dent. Wears heartily glad to see these partici
tors in the bargain and fraud by which McKay's
bill waa passed, thus punished for their treachery
to the interests of the people. i

Z3T Tnx !sris in PfNNsri.VASiA. As Mr. J.

question was not !h issue tr. Pennsylvania, we
would ak him the following questions; Did
not he, with sevsrai others, in the fall oflSH,
address a large mass meeting of the democracy
of Pennsylvania at Northurnbei land, one of the
largest held in the interior of (he state, and con
tend that the tariff would be sa'tafe in the hands
of Mr. Polk aa it would be with Mr. Clay? Did
he not hear the Hon. ilendrick B. Wright state
to that meeting that they were all in favor of the
tariff" A. J did ii6fMr.' Wright i at th close of
hia spocch, put the question to vote, and ask all
who were in favor of the tariff of 1812 to say
aytt and was not the response, in favor of the
tariff, unanimous f .TVot a single voics of that
immense throng responded, wo. Hundreds of in
dividuals who were present can testify to tho
truth of tha above. . Several of the most promi
nent speakers who were associated with Mr.
Forney on the stand, do not only admit it, l.it re
minded us of the tad only a few days since.
.Surely, friend Forney must have a most treache
rous memory; if he has forgotten all this.
07" The base sttack of the Union, on the
character and motives of Mr. Haywood, tl. S.
Senator from North Carolina, for reaigning bis
aeat in the Senate rather than vote for McKay's
bill, meets with the disapprobation of all honor
able men. The Union said nothing of the New
Hampshire Senator, who disobeyed hia instruc
tions, in voting for McKay's bill. . f . ..
OT The veto" of ; the Harbor bill has caused
considerable' excitement in Congress. Judge
Thompson, of Pennsylvania (democrat.) made
a most violent attack upon its principles. We
extract the following from the Ledger : 1
"But that wai not all. lie wonlJ ai-ic'the
chairman of the Committee of Commerce if he
had not conferred with the President i i regard
to this b II, and had received hia approval of iln
items of the bill ; he said ho would piuse for a
reply. Mr. McClelland was silent. If the
gentleman won 'd not consider .himself buthor
ized to say that tho fact waa so, that the Presi
dent had sanctioned the itemsof the bill.. Hrr
Mr. Payne aed the question, if Mr. McClel
land would not answer the inquiry ! Mr. Mc
Clelland taid ho hud not taken I hi- bill to the
President ; he has seen the President, but what
had pafwd was private conversion, and he
would not dih-close. Mr. T. etked Mr. Consta
ble, of Maryland, if , he had not called on ' the
Prei-idrnt! Mr. Constable said he had, in re
'ation to one item in the bill, and got a satisfac
tory answer. A Member You ought to with
draw yoor impu'ation yon have not proved ' it.
Mr. T. said he would have it to the Hons",
when witness declines to answer, what is the
inference. ' He lef it, he said, to the House.
Sir," said he, "lam the last man to make char
ges, f do not bclii ve." The gentleman seems
excited, said he, and tn the remark that he waa
in honor bound to withdraw the imputation, he
said hia honor was in his own keeping, perfectly
secure there, he could take care of it, and pro
tect it. He would make no chargos thnt he
could not hold himself responsible for. He said
in addition to these things, the report of Col.
Albert, recominendintrihete improvements, was
before the House bofore it without objections
from the President. We relied on all these
things why waa thia silence 1 Was it with a
view to other auhjocts w hy wsa it so ! Wliy
did he not know it before the passage of the ti
rift bill why thia silence Sir, eaid he, there
is another thing thnt is a little surprising;' the
'Union,' tho day before the filial vote on the
tariff bill waa taken,' rame' out in favor of the
harbor bill the day after the veto it came cut
arrninst it. A Member, "He explained it.
Mr. T. mw the explanation it ws a poor ex
cuse; but tho excuse eu.e after the taritTh II
had pai-sed. Tho excuse waa a poor one.
Was it poMible Mr. Ritchie Hid not read what
camo out as his own editorial 1 Mr. T. then
eaid he did not wieh to be more pointed ; this
was the course he would pursue. He would
support no man, and here he would suy he
would si low no man to misrepresent hiui. He
supported but the views of Wash in a ton, Jeffer

The Democracy of Pennsylvania have so inva
riably evinced their firm adherence to the creat
principles of the party, as laid down and estab
lished, yeara ago, by the fathers of Democracy,
that their faith cannot now be called in question
Their attachment to their , party ia atrong. but
their attachment to their country is stronger, and
they never can be guilty uf raiting a suicidal
hand to strike down the great interests of the
people of their state; nor will they permit them
to be crushed by those whom tbey have elevated
into power, as long as they ran raise their voice
or hand to avert the impending ruin.
The Democracy of the Keystone state have
been cheated and betrayed by the passage of Mc
Kay's Critish Tariff Dill, snd it is due to them
selves to denounce the fraud and express their ut
ter abhorrence cf its author. '
George M. Dallas warmed into political life
and cherished by' a too confiding democracy ; fed
for years by their bounty, and elevated by their
suffrages to the second office in the gift of a free
people, by bis recent vote in the Senate of the
United Statea has betrayed the interest! of his
native atate, and forfeited all title to our respect
and confidence. He has voted to reduce the free
laborer of the North to a level with the stave la
borer of ths South to bring down the wages of
our mechanics to the price paid British paupers
to close our workshops and our coal mines to
ruin our manufactories to put out the firs of our
furnsces destroy the home market of our far
mers and utterly prostrate out resources.
It would have been bad enough had this out-
rajs been inflicted upon us by those alien to our
soil and unfriendly to our prosperity ; hut such
an infliction of injury by a man u hose profes
sions ami public acts in fovor c f PROTECTION

act of treachery, which has no parallel in
hiitorv of our rartv
Therefore, in the exercise ,f -1 ,;'. is nri-
vilcge of freemen that of freely expressing our 1
" s
opinions upon all subjects affecting our interests,
Itmofpe't, That George M. Dallas, in abandon
ing "an established policy coeval, in the lan
guage of President Jackson, with our govern
mentbelieved by an immense majority of our
peophs to ba constitutional, wise and expedient,
haa been guilty of a trnehermn departure from
duty, a thttmtlen u'ertlct u of sacred trast and
confidence." ' ': '
AVxifct', That the policy pursued by the
administration in, reference to the adjustment ol
the details of our reveuue laws is an uncalled for
departure from the atcient laud-maiks of ths
democratic party an abandonment of. tbe prin
ciples asserted by Jefferson, Madison. Moproe
and Jackson at variance with their own decla
rations during the campaign ef 1844, and ruin
ously detrimental to all the great interests of the
country.

cracy of the North, from thia time forth until
the overthrow of the British tariff hill of 184(5,
shall be 'rtpectf And we hereby pledge our

. , H. U. Msscn, Esq. Dear Sir .- It ia not
surprising to find tha people of your stats rising
up and giving vent to feelings of indignation at
the passage or a Taw wbiclj atiikes at her dearest
interests; This feeling is not7' only too fined to
the limits of Pennsylvania If extendi far and
wide,' from one portion of tbi Union to tie other
from our dense commercial emporiums ia eve
ry harft'.el and village where the business ,hom
industry has made any impression. The blow
ha been strtirk j theMcKsy bill, after the 1st
of December, is to become the law of the land,
and, aa Americans, all will yield submission to
the wrongs it may indict, still cherishing ths
hope, however, that its existence will be of shor'i
duration. Circumstances, not now visible, may
occur, which will yet. convince those who bare
forced thia law upon the country, that the)
have not acted the part of Americans. Whils
every one must deplore its passage, done shoulc
imagine that the country has received its death
h'ow that our energiea will be crippled by itr
operations beyond recovery ; or that wa will bf
ruined. That its effects will be felt by all clas
ses of society there is not mnrb doubt, but, tha .
fortitude, which has always characterized tht
people of this country in times of adversity, wil:
enable them to ur'hstand tha injuriea emanatin
Trom tni n,,w Despair is a thing unknowi
to Americans, and for them to act as imbecile
now would be a blot upon their rhai actor. T
remedy the mattr should be the main object c
all, and not to )our fourth lamentations ; for
"Tomonrn a mischief that is past and tfonn,
Is the next way to bring a new mischief on."
Pennsylvania may well exclaim, since the pas.
sage of this bilV, "Save me from my friends.'
To the Hon. (. M. Dallas can sh4 ascribe its pas
snge with all its objectionable features. He ba
it in his power to vote tor its reference to a st
lcrt committee, and refused to do it, thus show
ing to the country, by his vote, that he desire
no modification of the bill. Thk Colomxl.
Amvrk-a IIo.mk Lk-Af.iK Mr. Stewart, i
his speech in Congress on the Tariff, proposed t
counteract the effects of the new bill by a horn
league. His proposition was, that the peop!
meet and form themselves into societies, and ei.
ter into resolutions, as they did in the Revolution
to abstain from the use of foreign, and ervcill
British goods. Ileexcepted the free articles c
tea and coffee, fnrnished by Brazil and Hayt
Since it was the declared purpose of the Secrett
ry of the Treasury to force foreign goods up
the country, and break np the American supj!
he, for one, was determined to resist it.
Remarkable CoisriorNca t th Taii
Voir. It is remarkable that one vote carric
the tariff of 1824 ; one vote the tariff of 182!
J one vote earned tlie tariff of 1812; and by oi
vote in the Senate the tariff ot 1810 has becon
4 lw.
