The President's Message and the Oregon Question, The Message of President Polk to the two Houses of Congress, in which he recommends an increase of the army and navy, and appropriations for the de- | fence of the country, has been before the puplic long | enough to admit of a calm decision to be formed | upon its character, and bearing upon the destiny of | the United States. When it was first received, it was considered an unfavorable sign for the continu- ance of peaceful relations between England and the United States. The stock market felt the influence of thi# opinion, and stocks, the value of which would be seriously impaired by hostilities, went down about two percent. The stock market-is a sure index of the condition of the public pulse in this | city, forit first experiences the effect of any measure | which the public imagine would tend to impede the course Of trade and the general prosperity of the | country. The opinion is, that under the circumstances attending the debates in Congress, particularly in the Senate, the President was bound to send | the message. In his message to Congress, he gave | a detailed account of the condition of our relations with Great Britain. He boldly took ground, that he considered the claim of the United States up to 54 40, the Russian line, clear and unqiiéstionable; and although he hoped the matter would be settled ami- eably, he still thought it prudent to recommend an increase of the army and navy, and the erection of fortifications for the defence of the country. From | that day until the present, the Oregon question has» almost to the exclusion of every thing else, occu- | pied the time and attention of the Senate. The | different perties or cliques into which the Senate is | divided, immediately laid hold of it, and set to | work to shape it to promote their own views. It | was at once appropriated by the {several cliques as | capital to work upon, with the view of moulding it | so astohave an iafluence on the question of the succession. During the debates that followed, and | which have been kept up incessantly from that time until the present day, the views of the President | and his cabinet on the question, were stated to be | this one day,and that on the next. By one clique he Was represented as an uncompromising opponent to the British claim, and in favor of maintaining the whole claim of America, to the last inch. This was the course of tactics pursued by the war section of the Senate, headed by | Senator Cass of Michigan, who himself is a prospective candidate for the succession. This portion were on the fair road to monopolize all the glory of the question, when the venerable John Quincy Adams stepped in and deprived them of 4 great deal of it. Another portion of the Senate twist- ed and turned the declarations of the President, as contained in his message. While by one it is claimed that the President, while he considers the American claim beyond a question, is at the same time disposed to make a partition of the part n dispute, in order to avoid hastening a war with Great Britain, another would insist that a proposi- | tion by Great Britain to settle the question on the | 49th degree, would meet the views of the President and @ majority o! the Senate. This was the condition of the Senate at the time the President sent in his last message, which has somewhat bewildered the members of Congress. , For nearly four months the Oregon question had drawa its slow length along—all the members, almost, had given their views, and still, notwith- standing the recommendation of the President in his regular message, very little progress had been made towards arriving at a conclusion. In the meantime, if a crisis had arrived between the United Statesand England, the President well knew that the country was comparatively defenceless ; her army was inadequate for any emergency ; the little navy we had was in asimilar condition, and our extensive line of sea board and frontier encouraged attack, ra- ther than otherwise, Under these circumstances, | then, the President considered himeelf justified in again directing the attention of Congress tothe sub- ject, and, no doubt, with the intention of hastening action of some kind by thatbody. At the eame time, he took occasion to reiterate his views and opinions, | | | | every single manufacturer in the country. Our | strictures were directed against a practice that has vious to the time, every house is}considered as open for examination; and families are surprised at their prayers, their meals, or social conversations, with a request from some individual of the Paul Pry tribe, “to allow him to examine the house.” Then it is necessary that the individual should be shown into each room, and the whole house and furniture ex- posed to his view, often much to the mortification of the then present occupant. Whole days are tius wasted by the head of almost every family, in en | deavoring to find a suitable residence. Well, the first of May arrives, and everything is turned topsy-turvy, to cledt out and make room for new comers. The furniture of one is carried out, and that of the other brought in, both being consid- erably damaged by the removal. Carmen are hired at exorbitant prices to transport this furniture; and at the close of the toileome moving day, the family finds itself ensconced in a strange habitation. All the pleasant little associations that even in a walled city cling around a home, and make even bricks and mor- tara temple of affection, and the hearth a shrine of love, are thus suddenly sundered, and new ties and associations must be formed. Hardly is this ac- complished, before another May day arrives, and | these too are broken. In addation to this, all the exterior arrangements in regard to a residence must be changed—néwspa- | pers must be sent to different places—new grocers must be found in the vicinity—new arrangements for going from home to business must be made, and | for a while all is confusion. If a family is pleased with a residence, why 18 it mot as well to continue in it fora term of years? and thus save all this trou- ble, time and expense in moving. This is a practice unknown in other cities, and we hope the residents of Gotham will soon abolish it entirely. Wacrs or Opgratives.—Several days ago we published an article relative to the wages of factory laborers. It wasby no means intended to include prevailed to a great extent. We did not assert it to be the case in every instance; and therefore, with that spirit of justice which the Herald has always as- siduously maintained, we taxe pleasure in giving certain facts which we have obtained from Mr. J. F. Winslow, of the Albany iron works. It appears that at this establishment there are em- ployed something over 200 persons, all males, and two-thirds of them adults. During the 12 months ending lst January last, the gross amount of wages was $77,170,and the amount of store accounts against the workmen for the same period was $19,665; the balance, over fifty-seven thousand dollara, was paidin cash. The store attached to the works was established more for the convenience of the persons employed than for the profitexpected to result from it, and the profit realized from it was just 7} per cent: upon the year’s business. The men exercise entire freedom in trading at the store—no compulsion is used to cause them to favor it; and many of them trade elsewhere; and as to making them a tender of | in payment of their wages, no such “currency” is known amongst them. Itis always more pleasing to exculpate than to ac- | cuse. We have no doubt, however, that many of | the larger manufacturing establishments are also | exempt from the charge of paying their hands in | orders upon the stores; but still the practice does ex- |sistto a greater or less extent, throughout the manu- | facturing districts of the Union, and it demands im- mediate and radical reformation. | New York Post Orrice.—We are continually | receiving communications from our subscribers in the State of Conneeticut, complaming of the non- receipt of the Herald. Subscribers in Greenwich, Westport, and other towns, say that the paper which is mailed in the New York Post Office on Saturday, does not reach there till the Thursday following, although there is a daily mail to those places from this city. In fact, we receive more complaints from that State alone, than we do from all the rest o' the country. We canaseure our sub- scribers, thatthe mailing department of the Herald is attended to most thoroughly; ahd if they do not receive their papers, the fault lies with the Post- | master in New York. We are informed that there is great neglect connected with the “ Eastern dis- | tributing table;” and that probably is the cause of | our paper not reaching our subscribers in proper | season. Willthe Postmaster General keep an eye on the New York Postmaster, and occasionally sti™ him up? Garman Inmtgnation.—We have received the | annual statement of the German Society of this | city, which makes us acquainted with sevee ral items of interest and importance. An idea may be fermed of the »stonishing increase of | immigration from Germany, by a comparison of the tables given by the Society in this annual statement. On making this comparison, it ‘appears that in the year 1844 the number of German emigrants which had been so unceremoniously handled by the Senate, until they were so altered and modified as | 10 be hardly distinguishable by himself, and also to reiterate the necessity of taking measures for any crisis that might ensue, thus throwing the whole matter back to its original position, and making it | ‘uncertain in its aims and ends, and very uncertain in ite result. . | The Oregon question, for months past, has kept | the couatry ina fever. It has deranged commerce | toa great extent, and unless some action is shortly taken, the country will get dissatisfied. We depre- cate hasty legislation as much as any man; but the Senate have now had the matter under their consi- deration for four months, and surely they must have made up their minds to vote one way or the other by this time. There certainly cannot any harm ac- | crue from passing the notice to abrogate the joint occupancy, for it is strictly in conformity with the terms of the treaty, and as tothe passage of resolutions augmenting the army and navy, and putting the country in a state of de- fence, that cannot be looked upon by Great Bri- tain unfavorably. She herself is doing the same thing. Lord Aberdeen, in answer to the enquiries of our Minister, admitted that England was making preparations to take a strong position in case of any emergency that might arise, but without any direct connection with the Oregon question and the United States. We certainly can take the same measures. We can increase our army and navy, and build for- tifloations in the same manner; and if Great Britain should enquire the reason, we could say in the same way that Lord Aberdeen did, that we were arming, but without any direct reference to the Oregon quee- tion—wo are merely preparing for any emergency that might arise. Let us now closely watch the movements in Washington, for the ensuing week or two. Wrwo Hexp No. 391—In our paper last Sanday, we inquired, who was the fortunate lady that ac- tually drew the prize painting at the “tea party,” at Niblo’s Saloon. Who held No. 39% This query has made as much excitement during the week, among the “ upper ten thousand,” as 6440 at Tam- many Hall. It certainly seems to us, unsophisticat- ed creatures, that it is a plain question; and i! there was no mystery about the drawing, the doub‘ about the fortunate number would Jay in a nutshell’ ‘There is another court than the committee, before Whom the question must be settled, Larest FROM THE Hunky Cray —We learn from | the pilet bout Blossom that she passed the Henry | Clay yesterday ; she had again changed her posi- tion, and wae laying broadside on the beach, with )ighters alongside, who arrived in New York, was 17,799 persons. In | the next year, however, 1845, the number was | 80,812: showing an antonishing increase. The efforts of the Society are directed to the gu- dance, counsel, comfort and care of the poor, the af- flicted, and the needy from among th:s large multi- tude. Formerly the chief care of the Society was di- rected to those who fellsick in this city; it rarely hap- pened that employment could not be found for all who were willing to work. But we deeply regret to find that in three months of the past year, such cases oc- curred, where able bodied men, willing to work, could get noemployment. This is a melancholy Picture of European misery, which we deeply regret to learn has thus, like a ganigrene or a pestilence, crept i ur country. The Society wisely recommends the laborer who has no regular trade, to go and work in the country. There are also other valuable recommendat ions, and information relating to the object of the socie- ty, which we recommend to all the friends of humanity to encourage and appreciate by practical co-operation. Very LATE From HavaNna.—By the ship Adelaide, Capt. Adams, we have received news from this Tegion tothe 17th inst. From our correspondent at Havana we learn, that after the Adelaide had sailed | Government sent a steam tow boat after her, and demanded the passengers’ passports, under thre ats of a fine being imposed on the Captain. Although the Captain had delivered his Moro pass to the officers of the guard ship, he thought it prudent to return, and submit to have the passports compared with the passenge By this arrival, we haye received, through the po- liteness of Captain Adams, late papeis from St. Do- mingo, and other parts, and we give translations of the most interesting items.
