Mr. Polk is now placed in a most embarrassing attitude between the two wings of his party—the 54 40 men, and the | 49 men ; and we doubt whether he possesses the moral courage or magnanimity to rise above such influences. Mr. Haywood and his friends, on the one‘side, and General Cass and his supporttrs on the other, are constantly visiting the President.

On the other hand, the President's “own | organ,” calls and clamors for Congress to pass all the Oregon measures—measures for taking’ legal and military possession of Oregon — establishing mails—block-houses—forts—courts, and general ju- | to Mr. M risdiction. ‘Che organ, however, does not specify how'far north—49 or 54 40—these measures are to operate in the territory. We do not believe that any of these measures can pass the Senate till the negotiation has been closed. We have rumors that a battle hid taken place on the Rio Grande, and that General Taylor had met with a reverse. The departure of General Worth from the army has given rise to rumors of dissen- | sions inthe American camp. If General Taylor should be defeated, Mr. Polk and his administra- tion would be exectated. A defeat of the Ameri- can army on the Rio Grande would almost cause an immediate and voluntary invasion of Mexico.— | Thousands of the Western riflemen would rush to the Rio Grande, and probably to Mexico.

This was absurd, for no consul could exercise his functions here while we were at war with the government he represent- ‘ed. The way itwas done was this—I speak for | Nortolk, Va., where I have long resided. A mer- chant in that city named W. was commissioned by Halifax, N. S., to sell them to such merchants and shippers as | wanted them. The vessels thus licensed cleared | for Portugal, but were destined for England. Gen. Taylor, during the war of 1812, seized two vessels in the port of Norfolk thus laden for the enemy.— | Such is the way it was done.
