Great Britain made a (o our Government, to accept the dividing line between the two oiintrtei, giving England the of Van Oliver's Island, and lho free navigation of ie Columbia river, until the expiration or ic charter of the Hudson Day 'his was submitted to tha Senate by Mr. oik, and their advice naked.

After three aya discussion, they, by a vote of 38 to 12, ecommended his acceptance of the lion. A Treaty wilt consequently he framed pon that basis, and receive the cunslitu- ona! approbation of the Senate. At thU mo we havo not tho loom to allude to tills rnportant action of Congress in Iho manner tat it deserves. It is enough for un at pro- cnt to remind the public that is a glaring xposnro of one of lho hy which the resent administration Into power, nd which they, with too much success, cMud ngninsl Mr. Clay, who is this very boriafiiltltj, lho President of the United so far as receiving decided major- of the votes of tho people of (his nation iTconecrned.

Itbtv any Locofoco, with tho'remotest egrce of senilbilily, can look an honest inn In the fare, wo are at a porfoct loss to onjecture. Tho of Oregon or one," was their war cry. They went into owcr pledged to (ho public and to the orld, not to surrender an Inch south of 1, 40. Their President, in his Inaugural ddrcs.i. repented this gasconade; and the ocufoco presses shouted ai lustily as ever "Iloinbastos Furioso," that England lould be whipped nt the mouth of our can on, before an inch of Oregon should be it-rendered.

Yea some oflho antl-educa- on portion of this motley group called ofocos, to wit; Chapman, of Michigan, as not content with only having the whole Oregon, but Canada alia, to bo re- nnexcd to tho United States. For two earn this species of gasconade thun- cred into our interspersed, occasion- lly, wilh their usual slang, that tho Whigs 'ere tho DHtLih party," and that none ut Tories to their country wore for giving any part of Oregon, which had been lawn to bo clearly and imlijputably ours, 'his species of humbuggery and dcmn- oguclsrn, aided by tho grossest frauds ever raclised by a set of men at the ballot boxes, ecurcd the triumph of the Lncofocos. In ne branch of Congrois they nad nearly 60 njority, and in tho other, ten 'hey had a President pledged to aoaura to is nation the whole of tbo Oregon Ternary belonging to her, up to 51,40, They nd every branch and every department of IB Government filled up by men of their own election, tho very echoof whose voice was np to 51, 40, or none." It was the whirl wind that gave them their power. And yet, tho very priilo Jif Ui the moon of their ascendency, with an effrontery that would have covered a set of bandit- i with blushes, thoy falsify their profcs- Ions, disregard their pledge to the nation, snnfess they havo practised a fraud upon he people, by, craven-like, abandoning one ialf of a largo territory which have mntnlainoil for two years was clearly and indisputably oura. Were they ot no politically hardened to be insensi lie to every feeling of shame, they woulii call upon the and tho rocks to cover them, or (lea to some distant corner of tho earth, where their eyes would naver ngnln behold their country or Hi Biltlsh indeed I Lot tho public bear in mind, who it is that created the whirlwind, but shrunk like cowards from the pollings of thn storm thoy themselves had raised.

THE OREGON Wo have been favored porusal a portion of a letter from Gon. Semplc, our S. Senator, to his step-noil, tinder date June 10th, 18-IG, In which he states thnt tin Senate had that day agreed to a Treaty surrendering all of tho territory north nf 41 deg. to Great Britain.

They have entered once upon lhe life of soldiers, and are en- (o other In drill'muster and soldler-liUe appearance. They are at from morning linlil nighl, and are deter- mlned'not to be behind any three regiments hat have left the'Weilem Slates. We not only rejoice at Ihit emulation, hot of the feel proud of It. And nbat adds to ihe beauty of tho scene Is, that iie utmost harmony and good feeling pre- 'alls throughout the whole camp. It Is true, that there Is occasionally a man finds out thai ii not tho King it was cracked up to be, and who can- lot reconcile to Ideas of republicanism submit to that degree of subordination that absolutely necoasary to tho cxisfenco and afety of army.

But a little reflection, we trust, will convince all such that Implicit bcdionco lo tho commands of his superior dicers is Ihe first 'duty of a soldier. This hey must not only learn, hut practice; ro- membering from this fun- lamental our army regulations will not only them lo punishment, disgrace. w. Willey ate. o.

We have been latijfieil that such complaints verc unjust, and that tho volunteers In Illl- inis were faring heller than those of any Wcjlcrn Slates had. It will be re- iollcclod that the of rendezvous for ho Kentucky volunteers was Louisville, he largest city In that Stale.

Tlioso of our volunteers who aro complaining of their Barters in this Slate, and tho great nbun- lanco of provisions of every kind allowed by tho Army regulations, wo beg leave to cfertolhe following article, takon from the ast Lexington Observer; nuil ask them to compare the situation of tho Kentucky vol- unlccrs with their own. Every thing has iccn done that possibly could be, lo mako he volunteers comfortable and contented, and if such exertions will not sali.fy them, thoro is no alternative.

They numbered, including commissioned and noncommissioned ofilcers, 9.1 strong, and aro commanded by Capt.

Elioy C. CoiTey. A more hardy, robust, noblo looking corps, it would bo difiicult to find in any State.

If the Government had called for Iho militia, the Governors of tho Slates would sedi their wants supplied. If had relied on tho ordinary regular forces, he recruiting officers would have done it. In taking volunteurs, the Government must certainly have known, that, while belnu mustered Bfviue. they would neeVl ai 'Much" and thoy should have provided for it.

It seomsi lo be generally conceded among tho volunteers, that inasmuch a. Mr. Baker and Gen. Hardin are to be a the heads of two regiments, tho remaining two Colonols should be taken from the op posilo parly.

This we think an honorablf arrangement, and ono that will tend to se cure unanimity in Iho four regiments going from this Slate. We also loarn that tho candidates for Colonel who already commissions, are Rnt to resign thoio com missions, nnd go Into tho ranks, before th. election comos off.
