We trust, therefore, that the President and his Secretary will proceed at once with this important negotiation, upon principles of conciliation and cominon sense, and not with sentiments of obsti- nacy and impracticability. The negotiation is already so near to a compromise, that it would ap- pear there will be no difficulty in settling the affair in such a way as will be satisfactory to all parties. We have, therefore, every reason to believe that the President and his Cabinet are now in such a si- tuation as to adhere with determination to the principles of the message, and to re-open negotia- tions with England, with the prospect of early suc- cess. The only circumstances which seem to throw a cloud over this fair prospect, are the confusion, the impracticability, the folly and nonsense which are daily exhibited in Congress, and which, for the last two months, have been there carrying on upon the Oregon question. The period of two long months has been wasted, thrown away, by the uttering of speeches of all sorts, upon all subjects; and the friends of the administration in both Houses, in- stead of showing themselves as liberal, sensible, en- lightened statesmen, have exhibited nothing but a Congregation of petty, miserable, quarreling cliques, disputing about abstractions and wasting their ener- gies upon impossibilities, instead of calmly and nobly uniting to sustain the doctrines and policy of the message. The war speeches which have been delivered in the House are beneath criticism. The idea of war with England from what now is and has been taking place for many years past, is utterly beyond the range of possibility, in the present condi- tion of Europe and the world. Stop. We are now at war with England, and have been for the last twenty-five years; we are also at war with all Europe, and with all monarchical and aristocra- tical constitutions of society. There is war daily and monthly, between this country and Eng land, of an intellectual and moral kind. The entire message which proceeded trom Washington, and was transmitted across the boundless deep, was read by millions in England, and has had the effect of adischarge of numerous Paixhan guns, or o some mighty broadside upon the intellectual batte- ries of the masses in that country. There are, be- sides, nearly two millions of native Europeans na- turalized in this country, and these send across the water probably many millions of private letters, des- cribing the happiness of their condition to their friends. This vast body isa sort of revolutionary committee, which issues incessantly its secret mes- sages and manifestoes, and discharges an immense intellectual artillery upon the minds of the masses in the old world. Wedo not want any other war than that which this intellectual campaign is conti- nually exhibiting—a war which has produced changes and conquests over the European mind which become every day more and more astonish- ing to the world This is the true and philosophical position of things, such as they exist between this country and Europe, and we can have no other war. /Ajl the speeches in Congress, looking towards a’ physical war with Europe, are made of such stuft as dreams are. All that Congress has to do, if it wishes to settle the question, and to put the country in a con- dition competent to meet any future coatingen- ey, is to come up to the scratch, and vote for the President’s recommendations. Let the mi- serable cliques, of both houses, abandon their paltry intrigues, and come upto the mark and sustain the President in his comprehensive and impregna- ble positions. If they do this,we shall have an Ore- gon treaty disposing of the whole business in less than six weeks, and then we may turn our attention to Mexico, and thrash that republic into a sense of decency and propriety of conduct. We must not be ina hoatile attitude with England and Mexico at the same time ; one or the other of the two cases must be disposed of. One war is a dose atatime. The difficulty with England can be settled by negotiation without great sacrifices on our part, and on terms highly favorable and advantageous to us. But the case of Mexico is different, from the obstinacy, ig- norance and folly of that people, and the miserable succession of imbecile governments following upon éach other She deserves immediate aad prompt chastisement from the United States, to teach her what is her duty and how to act in a proper manner We trust, therefore, that Congreas will go to work and pass the necessary legislation on the Oregon matter ; and then, that it will proceed to the modifi- cation of the tariff, recommended by the President, and other measures. Let us have action, action, action. The time is past for mere talk Bunrouary anv Murpgrovs Assavir.—At a late hour on Tuesday night, or early yesterday morning, some daring burglars broke into the store of Mesars Norton & Beam, in the village of Compton, N. J., and carried off a pocket book, containing $90 in | bank bills, and numerous papers of value tering the store yesterday morning, the clerk, who has for some time past, been in the habit of sleeping in the premises,was found severely wounded and in- capable of communicating any information relative to the robbery ELECTION IN Massacuvertrs.—There was ano- ther attempt to elect a member to Congress from the Ninth District on the 2d inst, It was again un- suecesstul.

The evi- dence for such a belief is too great to be resisted. We still, therefore, adhere to the conviction of its general accuracy. It will be seen, therefore, that these views do not materially differ from the Tribune it- self. Yet the Tribune, from its warmth, would seem to imply a different inference. Such is not the case. The Tribune, we believe, is inimical to General Scott as the first choice of the whigs, and leans in its tendencies to Judge McLean, Henry Clay, or some other man. Without ascribing improper mo- tives to the Zribune—for it hasa perfect right to a latitude of thought on this and every other subject, Fourierism included—we are disposed to believe that this is the ground from which springs the con- | tradiction of a part of our statements. The Tribune | does not wish General Scott to be the candidate of the whig party, and hence it denies the state- ment that General Scott is considered the most available candidate. We believe the reverse. We are disposed to think tha the whigs, or the most in- fluential portion of them, believe more in the avail- ability of General Scott, than in that of any other candidate; and this beliet will no doubt be realized | to the satisfaction of the public, and of our contem- porary the Tribune, before many months. The Courier, which we believe is friendly to the preten- sions of General Scott,:is silent on the subject, pro- bably because it is as favorable as we are to his no- mination. Tue Broccurert Water Camraign—The leugha- ble and amusing contest which has been going on forsome time, in certain quarters, and among cer- tain philosophers, relative to the virtues of the Broc. chieri water, and the ease with which one’s throat can be cut, the carotid artery separated, and all healed up again, better than before, is beginning to | attract more than ordinary attention among the lovers of fun and philosophy. The great head of this campaign, and commander of the faithful, isa chivalric Frenchman, recently from Paris, who was accompanied by a hogshead of this famous and extraordinary water. His name is M. Galliardet, editor of the Courrier des Etats Unis, Chevalier of the Legion of Honor, and Napoleon of the Legion of Quackery. Don Quixotte never en- countered the wind-mill with more grandeur, or | with greater chivalry, than this chevalier has en- countered all the unbelievers in the faith of this famous water, and in the innocence of cutting throats. been held, in which all the editors and physicians of the city have been called to witness the interest- ing ceremony ot cutting the throats of two or three sinless sheep, in order to turnish an opportunity o healing them up again. There was another exhibi- tion took place in a stable, up town somewhere, in | the presence of a number of invited guests, doctors, | editors, phitosophers, horses, asses, end all other four-footed animals. One of the unfortunate sheep that was selected forthe experiment, had its throat cut alive, and was on the verge of extinction; but by this celebrated water, was started on its legs again, and went capering round the yard. Every one pre- sent, editors, doctors, lawyers, asses, &c., held up their hands, (those who had any,) opened their ears the whole length of them, and were astonished at the success of this wonderful experiment. The campaign still goes on, and the army of be- lievers, under the guidance of the chevalier, is in- creasing rapidly among all the soft heads about town. There are, however, some men who rank among the unbelievers—among whom is the celebrated Dr. | Mott, and a few others. Oh! humbug, humbug! , what new shape will you next assume? What new | course will you next take? The idea that you can persuade men and women of the truth of the ease of | cutting their own throats, in order to furnish a chance for healing again, is rather rich for the pre- sent age to swallow. It may do with sheep, how- ever. New Paper at Wasuinetron—The United States Journal, edited by Fisk and Dow, has disap- peared, and a new journal, called the Daily Times, has risen out of its remains, tobe edited by H. H. Robinson. The new editor commences his politi- eal career in the capital, with a manifesto of two columns and a-halt on the present state of public af- fairs. He declares that he is in favor of «” particu- lar clique of the democratic party, that he has no choice for candidate for the Presidene until the Baltimore convention nominates one. We believe, however, that he has a choice, and that his choice is General Cass, of Michigan, and a good choice it is, too. This, however, he only conceals for the pur- pose of humbugging the flats. We judge that he goes for Cass, because he goes for the whole of Ore- gon ornone. He is against all negotiation and all arbitration, and would, to get Oregon to 54. 40, pre- pare to go to warin aweek. Well, be itso. Every man to his own taste.

Some of our most distinguish” | ed citizens have purchaced whole bundles of tickets, | | and it is believed hat the re-appearance will again | | revive all that enthusiasm which marked his first | | appearance in this city.

That only is property, which can be bought and sold, the spontaneous productions of the earth gathered by man, or produced by human industry. The soil is not property.
