YORK HERALD. York, Tucaday, April 28, 184, The Herald Sapplement. Accompanying our paper this morning is a sup- plement, containing the very lengthy speoch of Senator Breese, of Illinois, on the Oregon question. News from Europe. The Great Western is hourly expected. She is now in her seventeenth day, but 1s not beyond her time, es Captain Matthews contemplated taking a southern passage, to avoid the ice. She is alzo pretty deeply loaded, having a large number of passengers and a heavy freight, which, doubtless, will lengthen the voyage. We shall issue an extra immediately after the receipt of the news, which will be eeven days later. The Great Oregon Debate—Senator Breese’s Speech. ‘The Oregon debate, which is naively and appro- priately called by Mr. Polk’s organ at Washington, “The Oregonind,” is the most original, the most exciting, the most eloquent, and the most singular of all debates which ever took place in any country, Itis more than a debate. It ip the great modern epic of oratory, appropriately called by Mr. Pulk’s organ, the “Oregoniad,” of which Poik is the hero, and will be a gort of rival to: cat Iliad cf antiquity; in fact, an “Oregoniad” will by remembered for along gime afier the Iiad is ten—but not till then. Already, the magazines of the old world begin to cull elegant extracts trom the | flowers of this “Oregoniad”—from the speeches of Joha Quincy Adams; Mr. Chipman, ot Michigan; Mr. Allen, of Ohio; and a number of other distin- guished speakers, and endeavor to show that the eloquence, the manners, the genius, the talent, die- played in this long and extraordinary debate—this original epic of the far West—far outstrips the dis- plays made by Homer or Virgil, or even by Mrs. ‘Trollope or Mrs. Charles Dickens, or all the travel- Jers and poeis who have ever gone over this coun- try, or any other. Be this asit may, among the many speeches which this extraordinary debate has produced, and particularly among those pronounced by the leading members of the 54 40 party division, none of them possesses such @ combination of common sense and good taste, in vindication of the claim to the whole country of Oregon, as that delivered by Mr. Breese, of the Senate. We have taken such a fancy to this speech, that we publish it entire in this day’s paper— vide the Supplement. There is one particular fea- ture in this effort of Mr. Breese which deserves to altract attention ; that is, his novel proposition to adjust the matter in dispute between the two coun- tries, upon a mixed principle of money and land— viz : that is, of our taking the whole territory up to 54 40, and of allowing the British government a fair valuation for the portion she surrenders, to be de- termined by arbitration. This appears to be the only plan which is capable of reconciliag the ex- treme demands of either country. Mr. Breese is an accomplished gentleman, and ought to be despatch- ed at once, on a special mission to Queen Victoria ; for if any man could, he would be able to persuade | her gracious Majesty to give up the whole of this distant, rocky, disagreeable territory, as high up as 54 40, and take its value in money. He might per- suade her to agree to the appointment of arbiters to determine the value of the portion relinquished by the British government; and he might be able to settle that the Unifed States should pay this value as soon as she could, together with the debts of all the repudiating States, if necessary: for we do not be- lieve that the American character can ever be re- eatablished in Europe until our several States pay their debts, ike honest men. What the President will do in this important view of these affairs, we do not know; indeed, it is ighly probable that he hardly knows himself! For sore than" year he has been vibrating, like a pen- ium, between 54 and 49; and the probability is tat he will still continue to vibrate there, until he bringe the country into some serious difficulty. Mr- Pakenhant is requested to read this speech, from be- ginning to end. Tue Next Presmency.—The movements of the various cliques of all the parties, for the next Pre- | sidency, ure becoming very active, particularly since the passage of the Oregon resolutions. The } having had any training‘for the season; and indeed his ap position of Mr. Polk and his party is very mena- cing since he received the discretionary power to use the Oregon question as he please, during the next year. We have received, on this subject, an important letter from our correspondent at Albany, which gives a correct exposition of the ground assumed by the friends ef Silas Wright in this State, and a de- | termination expressed by them either to manage his affairs favorably for hig nomination hereafter, or to coatroi the presidential nomination in the fall of 1848. The passage of the Oregon resolutions, and the im- portance given to that question by Congress, have | already alarmed the friends of Mr. Wright in this | State, and no doubt has equally alarmed the friends | of Gen. Cass, and all the other democratic candi- dates in the country. Mr. Polk has already com- mitted himself against running for a second term; but there is a clique of politicians who have been | ppointments, whore | brought into existence by hi policy is to change Mr. Polk’s mind, and bring about his nomination. This, however, cannot be done without the consent of the friends of Wright and Van Bu to believe that Mr. Wright and his party are now determined to take such ground as will give him | complete control over the future movements of the presidential nomination of the democratic school. We would call the attention of our readers to the letter of our correspondent, for it discloses the views and position of the Wright-Van Buren party | in this State. Wat witt Concress po %—Congress having disposed of the Oregon question, the next point is, what will be done with the other measures before them? What will be dome with the treasury ques- tion 1—what with the tariff’—what with the ware- housing bill ?—what .with the new mints —what with the steam line to Europe ? These aré all the principal measures before Con- gtees, some of which will experience more or less opposition, before they become laws. Yet, with the state of parties there, we doubt whether any one of these measures will pass atall. The ultra Oregon men, comprising nearly filty members in the House, and about ten in the Senate, whose ex- istenee, as political men, depends on opposing the settlement of the Oregon question, have the contro! over all those measures, and we do not believe they will sanction the passage of any of them, until they see what the President and Mr. Buchanan will do. If they make a treaty on the basis of 49, all these measures will fall tothe ground. If Mr. Polk holds on, and refuses to make a treaty, it is possible that some of them will pass. Congress is now surrounded with difficulties, and it is all owing to the unwise policy of Mr. Polk, in dividing his own party and his own friends, by hie vacillation on the Oregon question. Tur New Rosinsow Crusox.—A very singu lar and extraordinary book has just been published. by Herman Melville, brother to Gansevoort Mel- ville, Secretary of the American legation in London, describing a captivity which he underwent on one of the South Sea Islands. Some of the scenes are mos! xciting, equalling those depicted by the cele. vrated Defoe. The book is written with great ele- ance and perspicuity, and would appear at first to be ‘abulous, but we are assured, from the best sources, that the book describes, throughout, nothing but ‘ober facts. It has received a variety of criticiam® om the London journals, and also by those in this country, and some appear to doubt whether it is not fietitious {' 18 certainly one of the most interesti booke ‘hac has come from the press this year o this State, and we have every reason | to | @ —Corpus Carieté ‘rT10N.—The movements of the several political par- ties in this city, have resulted in presenting a varie- ty of tickets, composed of a great variety of men. \ They are as follows :— wHias.

There is no doubt that throughout the State, the same proportion exists in the nomina- | tions ; and the result will be, that the contemplated legal reforms, which we have heard so much about for a year or two past, will be knocked in the head. This is the age of lawyers. They live upon the quar- rels of the community, encourage litigation among our citizens, and fatten cn the spoils. Gentlemen of their cloth will not be very willing to adopt any reform that may affect their occupation, or deprive them of the privilege they have so long enjoyed, of luxuriating upon the misfortunes of others. We doubt whether pure or honest government can ever be effected, till electricity;be applied to it, in some new shape. Mexican News.—We are in daily expectation of receiving important Mexican news of all kinds. — We expect to hear of a revolution in Mexico. We expectto hear of a battle on the banks of the Rio Grande; and we expect to receive a message from | the President on Mexican affairs.

The Stock Market was not so buoyant today, and prices have fullen off afraction. There is more demand for money ; and as the banks are about closing up their quarterly reports, we cannot expect any improvement until after the Ist proximo. Mondey is usually e blue day, but it is the impre~sion in the street that the week will beheavy. Ohiosixes, Morris Canal, and Canton, closed at Saturday’s prices. Pennsylvania fives fell off, 2 Harlem } ; Reading } ; Norwich and Worcester, }. At the second board a further decline was experi enced in Harlem and Norwich and Worcester. The market closed heavy, and there is every probability of prices reaching the former level. We anticipated a re_ action, partly on account of the rapid rise, and partly because there was no real cause for the advance realized. The Bank of Cape Fear has declared a dividend onits stock of three percent for the six months ending on the ‘30th jost, and the same will be payable on and after the ‘7th day of May. ‘We have heard complaints very frequently that the monopoly enjoyed by the N. J. Railroad companies, and the use they make of that monopoly,is very injurious to the trade of this city. There is evidently a great deal of trath in this, as the fare between this city and Philadel- exorbitant, more so than on any other railroad of many inconveniences, as to time of departure and delays on the way, which, to business men, are of the most vexatious character. Thecars on the Long Island Rail- road travel a distance equal to that between New York and Philadelphia in about three hours, while six end often eight hours are consumed ia passing between these two cities. Thedirectors or managers of the New Jersey Rail, road companies imagine that their roads ere more pro- ductive under the high tariff ef prices they have estab. lished than they would be at more reduced rates; but {hey are very much mistaken. It has become an sstalis?\ lished fact, both in this country and in Europe, that low | fares produce the greatest revenue ; that the additional travel, created by low prices, is more than suffi- cieht to offset the reduction in the charge. Reail- road’ or steamboat lines, between large cities, attract a vast amount of pleasure travellers, when the price of passage is within the means of a majority of the people, which they would not obtain, or which, in fact, would not exist at all, were the charges exorbitant. The in- creased expense of transporting the increased number of travellers, necessary to produce an income, at low prices, equal to that produced by high prices, would be so small, when steam-power is used, as to be of very The public can | abuses complained of, so long as the companies alluded to retam the monopoly they have so long enjoyed. Competition regulates this evil more thoroughly than anyth.og else, and we trust the Legislature of New Jersey will take this matter into consideration.

The bill for the sale of the fouthern Railroad passed the Senate of Michigan on the 22d inst, by a vote of 14to2. It had previously passed the House, but was somewhat amended in the Senate. The bill is contin. gent upon the sale of the Central Railroad, and does not go into effect until after that work passes into the hands of the Central Railroad Company. The price to be paid is half a million. ‘We learn that the Governor of Missouri is on his way to this city, forthe purpose of selling the State bonds authorised by the act of the last session of the Legisla- ture. The old bonds bear ten per cent interest, aud the new act authorises a loan for any less rate of interest, in order to pay the ten per cent bonds. ‘The net revenue and expenditures of the Province of Canada, for 1845, and the state of the Consolidated Re- vente Fund on the Sist of January, 1646, were as an. nexed.
