THOS. G BACON, c. c. r. Clerk's Offie, Oct. 31, 1844. Jy 41 MISCELLAN EOUS. From the Magnolia, July, 1842. OUR RELATIONS WITH GREAT BRI. TAIN. Of the Oregon ts-rritory, the United States claim exclusive dominion, against any foreign power. of all the country ex ieuding' east and west from the Rocky Mountains to the Pacific Oce..n, and north and south from the limits-of the Mexican Republic, in latitude 42 north, to those of Russia, in latitude 54 degrees 40 minutes north. Their claim is based on three groundli-1, as successors of France; 2. of Spain; and 3. in their on n riht, by reason of their own discovery. It is es tablished, that the discoveries of Spain and France. in this region, preceded those of Great Britain, while it is unquestioned that the Columbia River itself was first entered and explored by an Am'erican captain, in an American vessel, front which it takes its name. For the long train, and consecutive arrangement of ti ties, by Spain and Fret ce, upon which the United States claim to this territors is founded, as nell as the progress of Amer ican discovery in the same region, we re fer the reader to the two reports of the Committee on Freign afalirs, presented by Mr. Cushing, its chairman, to the House, in 1839. The claimttee o Great Britain are some what amnesiouly sated by tier own minis ters. im the flllowing paragr~aph: ", Great Britain claims no exclusive sove reignty over any portion of that territory. Her present claim, not in respect to at.) part, glut to the ns hole, is limited to ji right of jont occupancy. in comut.on n ith oth er States. leaving the right of exclusive domipion in abeyance." No doubt, acknowledging no exclusive right. herself, to any part of this territory, she would be willing to leave the question of exclusive dontinion in abeyance till doomsday. The exclusive right wiill un questionably depend on priority of discov ery and possession. This right must in here somewhere. With whom does it inhere? Not with Great Britain. That she herself disclaims. The United States, on the other hand, does claim, not only by reason of her own discoveries, possession and settlement, but as successor, by tren ty and convention, to the rights of Spain and. France. which nations unquestiona bly had the most perfect right which dis covery could gtve. With a most com plete conviction to this eifeci. we yet find the- overmenr-of he-Utited States. i\-it -=ttiist!hiri~e erlitie .:feeblehas.li nointing to moral imbecility,-whieh has so often disabled her diplomtey,-making temporary arrangements with Great Brl tain) and other powers, "y w hicth to stave tel the day of decisive tljustnent' In stead of saytrg to.the cotttemporary pon ers. eithr this territory is yours or it is ours," in the brief, manly phrase n hiteb nould be enpl..yest by. men in ordin-r% business,-asnd the only sort 1 phrase h bich is beconting in reputblican ehpl..ta cy-they defer :he decision of ti-e qu1e tlon to a futurc day. and substitute ir it an arrangement by w hich our cl.tim- le come tmipoir. d,-th- facts more shatlon anl less easy of pre.il, aun the argumen. crtefused by unnecessaty partieulars n hier, it is the policy of those having the imper bet right, to accumuilate and crou d toge-: er. iMeanwh ile, the actual relations ot the two governments. in regard to i:is territory. ar. defined by the third artile of toe before-mentioned convention ut Octobe r., 1818, as follons : " Art. 3. It is agreed, that any country that tay be claimed by either party om. the northwest coast of Ameirita, westward oh the Stony M'outtains, shall, togt--er with its htarbors, ha',s, creeks. anid the navigation of all rivers w ithini the sante. he free attd open,. for the termt ot tent years front the date of the sigtnature of thte fies ont cotnvenuton, toi the vessels, ciizetns. antd subjects of the tsno Peiners: It beinig well understood, that. this atgreceent is not te, be construed to the pirejuieice of any claim wihich either of the two high comtracting parties .. ay have to any part ~of the said country.-nor shtall it be takent to affect the claimts of atny oher petwer er state tee any part of the said counitry ; the only object of the htigh coutractineg liar ties ins that respect beting to prevent dis putes and differenet s antotng themzselves." And the same rights are further de fitned, by a convetnztin concluded at Lon dtin the 6th September 1827. as folleins: "' Art. 1. All the provisions tel iho thirdi article of the convenstion concluded Le t ween the Unsited States of Atmerica, and his majesty te King of the Untited Kinig domi of Great Brititin and lrelaend, oin the 20th or October, 18I8, shall he and they tire hereby furtber indetintitely extended aind continued in force in the same man tier as if all the provisinus of the said ar ticle were htetein specifically recited. " Art. 2. It shalt be comtspetent, howev er, to eithter of thte cenniracttng parties, in case either should thinhk fit, at any time after the 20th of October, 1820, on giv itng due notice or twelve months to th( other contracting party, to annul and al rogate this convetttiotn; atnd it shall, it such case, lie accordingly entirely annul led and abrogated, after the expiration ci the said tertu of notice. " Art. 3. Nothing cont ainted in this con. ventio, or in' the third article otf the coti vention of the 20th of Oeieetser, 1818 htoreby contintued in foerce, abatll he en strUed to itmpair, or in8 any manner to af feet, the claims which cither of the cout e..actn artes ma-. haen to ane part o the country westward of the Stony 4 Rocky Mountains." This is a puny sort of diplomacy, quil inConsistent with wisdom, or that pecult frankness and decisiveness of policy, b which our government should he adminii tered. The consequence is, -that at ti end of the ten or twenty years.treaty, th panic are as far oil frot. final settle atment as eter, the arguments pro) and cu are to be renetted, ttthe ho diffi ulty a ready adverted to,-!hat tof linetoing ii icts obscured by time, and the reasonan impaired by extraneous arrangement ntac serve no other purgone than to it crease the preiuoinytions in favor of tit I:a.per ect, wndsie reudeaaug them inper et ino the case of the iIOUest el itiant. Wiat has been the eonsequence of this our imbecile diplomacy ? s hy, that th Brid)sh governeucnt, under the name e the Hudson's Bay, or North West Comn pany, have taken possession of the bes pl.aces for nuitar) operantous, have boil loris, and established colonies, from iihicl they diverge to the settled porious of th Uu. ed Siates, simugging ito theui Brit ih iauulactures, along an itmtnenSe hlu of territory, thily seatled, which it is vets difficulty to guard. .ne take the follow ing tuieresting passages, descriptive u compa ny, and of its tperations, froi thi official report already referred to. " Great Britain had verb much dis tinguislted herself at un earl) period, b1 voyages of eseovery in the sees, to the northeast and tias Continent. Thus : happened that ste aeqeired ierritora tights on the shes o! Hunison's Bay Intch at the Congress of Utretct w er lIrmutlly ackntanledged by France, as be lure stated.

Their declared cnd proper object: were, of course, nat igatioun, and trade it the furs, fist, or other productions of Heed son's Bay. E.rploration was, one the hen elts anticipated from the Company; bui the Company itself proved for mnore thar a century to he the great obstacle to ex pluration, or in the emphatic language ul the London Quarterly Revietn, (a Compe tent t itess on such a poit,) " From the tomtent this body of - Adventurers' was instituted, the spirit of 'adventure' died away, awd every succeeding eflort was pa.lsiaee by.the banelul influence of a mo nopoly, 6 hih the discovery ll a north west passage was deem, I tthe lihrerunner pf destruction."
