MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT ON THE OREGON BILL. ‘We give below the Message of President Polk, com- municating to Conzress his views upon the bill to organize the government of the territory of Oregon, in connection with the anti-slavery provision at- tached :— To the House of Representatives of the United States : ‘When the President bas given his official sanction toa bill which has passed Congress, usage requires that be sball notify the House in which it origiaated of that fact. The mode of giving this notification has been by an oral message, delivered by his private secre- tary. Having this day approved and signed an act entitled “ Anact to establish the territorial goverament of Oregon,” I deem it proper, under the existing circum- rg to communicate the fact in a more solemn form. The deeply-interesting and protracted, discussions which have taken place in both houses of Congress, and the absorbing interest which the subject has ex- cited thionghout the country, justify, in wy judgment, this departure from the form of notice observed in other cases, In this communication with a co-ordinate Branch of the government made proper by the considerations referred to, Lsball frankly, and without reserve, express the reasons which have constrained me not to withhold my signature from the bili to establish a government over Oregon, even though the two territories ut New Mexico and California ave to be left, for the present, without governments, None doubt that it is proper toestabiish a government in Oregon, Indeed, it has been too long delayed. I have made ~epeated com- munications to Congress to this effect. The petitions of the people of that distant region haye been pre- sented to the government. and ought not to be disre- garded, To give to them a regularly organized gov- ernment and the protection of our laws, which as citizens of the United States they claim, is a high duty on our part, and one which we are bound to perform, unless there be controlling reasons to prevent it. In the progress of all governments, questions of such transcendent papers occasionally arise, as to cast in the shade all those of a mere party character. Bat one such question can now be agitated in this country; and thieamay endanger our glorious Union, the source of our greatne: d all our political blessings. This uestion is slavery. With the slaveholding States, this does not embrace merely the rights of property, however valuable ; but it ascends far higher, and in- volves the domestic peace and security of every family, The fathers of the constitution—the wise and pa triotic men who laid the foundation of our institutions —foreseeing the danger frem this quarter, acted in a spirit of compremise and mutual concession on this dangerous and delicate subject; and their wisdom ought te be the guide of their successors. Whilst they left to the States exclusively the question of domestic slavery within their respective limits, they provided that slaves who might escape into other States not re- cognizing the institution of slavery, shall “ be deli- vered up on the claim of the party to whom such ser- vice orlabor may be due.” Upon this foundation the matter rested until the Missouri question arose In December, 1819, application was made to Congresg by the people of the Missouri Territory for admission into the Union as a State The discussion upon the subject in Congress involved the question of slavery, and was prosecuted with such violence as to produce excitements alarming to every patriot in the Union. But the good genius of conciliation which presided at. | the birth of our institutions finally prevailed, and the Missouri compromise was adopted. The 8th section of the act of Congress of the 6th or March, 1820, “to au- thorize the pecple of the Missouri Territory to form a constitution and State government,” &¢., provides, “That, in all that territory ceded by France to the Uni: | ted States. under the name of Louisiana, which lies north of 36 degrees and 30 minutes north latitude, not included within the limits of the State contempla- ted by this act, slavery and involuntary servitude, otherwise thanin the punishment of crimes, whereof the parties rhall have been duly convicted, shall be, and is hereby, forever prohibited; Provided, always, ‘That any person escaping into the same, from whom labor or service is lawfully claimed in any State or Ter- ritory of the United States, such fugitive may be law- fully reclaimed. and conveyed to the person claiming his or her labor or services aforesaid ” This compromise had the effect of calming the troubled waves, and restoring peace and good will throughout the States cf the U 4 The Missouri question had excited intense agitation of the public mind, and threatened to divide the conntry into geographical parties, alienating the feel- ings of attachment whivh each portion of our Union should bear to every other. The compromise allayed the excitement, tranquilized the popular mind, and restored confidence and fraternal feeling. Its authors were bailed as public benefactors. Ido not doubt that a similar adjustment of the questions which now agitate the public mind would produce the same happy results. In the legislation ef Congrers on the subject of the other Territories shal not be adopted in a spirit of conciliation and compro mice. it is impossible that the country can be satistied, or that the most disastrous consequences shall fail to ensue. When Texas was admitted into the Union, the same spirit of compromise which guided our predecessors in e admission of Missouri, # quarter of a century be- fore, prevailed without any serious opposition. The “joint resolution for annexing Texas tothe United States,” approved March the first, one thousand eight hundred and forty-five, provides that “ such States as may be formed out of that portion of said territor: lying south of thirty-six degrees thirty minutes norti latitude, commonly known as the Missouri compro- mise line, shall be admitted into the Union with or without slavery, as the people of each State asking edmirsion may desire. id in such State or States as shall be formed out of said territory north of the Missouri compromige line 'y or involuntary ser- y.tude (exceyt for crime) shall be prohibited ” The territory of Oregon lies far north of thirty-six degrees thirty minutes, the Missouri and Texas com- promiseliue. Its southern boundary is the parallel of forty-two, leaving the intermediate distance to be three hundred and thirty geograptical miles. And it is because the provisions of this bill are not inconsistent with the terms of the Missouri compro- mire, if extended from the Rio Grande to the Pacific ocean, that I have not felt at liberty to withhold my eal Had it embraced territories south of that e misé. the question presented for my considera- Aion would baye been of a far different character, and ‘My action upon it must have corsesponded with my qonvictions. Ought we now to compromises? urb the Missouri and Texas we, at this late da; been so long established and acquieeced in, to excite sectional divisions and jea- lousies; to alienate the people of different portions of the Union from each other; and to endanger the ex- istence of the !'nion itrelf? From the adoption of the federal constitution, dur- ing @ period of sixty years, our progre: has been without example in the annals of history. Under the protection of a bovntiful Providence, we have advanced with giant strides in the career of wealth and prosperity. We have enjoyed the blesa- ings of freedom to a greater extent than any other people, ancient or modern, under a government which has preserved order, and secured to every citizen life, liberty, and property. We ha i" become an example for jmitation to the whole world. The friends of freedom in every clim- point with admiration to our institutions. Shall we, then, at the moment when the people of Europe are devoting all their energivs in the attempt to asaimi- late their institutions to our own, peril allour blessings by eg ie the lessons of experience, and refusing to tread in the footsteps which our ‘athers have trodden ? And for what cause would we endanger our glorious Union? The Missouri compromise containg a probi- bition of slavery throughout all that vast region ex- tending t' and a halt degrees slong the Pacific.from the parallel of thirty-six degrees thirty minutes to that of forty-nine degrees, and cast from hat ocean to and bepond the summit of the Rocky mountains. Why, then, should our institutions be endangered bee! noi is propored to submit to the people ot the remainder of our newly acquired territory lying south of thirty-six degrees thirty minutes, embracing less than four grees of latitude, the question whether, in the la! guage of the Texas compromise, they “shall be admitted (as a State) into the Union with or with. out slavery?" Is this a question to be pushed to such extremities by excited partizans on the one side or the other, in regard to our newly acquired distant pos- sessions on the Paciffe, as to endanger the union of thirty glorious States which constitute our confede- racy!

AMES K. POLK. Wasnixorox, Auguet 14, 1848, City Autetligen Row at tHe Bowexy Turatar.—In consequence of some misunderstanding between Miss Julia Turn- bull and Mr. G. W. Smith, there was considerable con- fusion at the Bowery Theatre Monday night, which re- sulted in the breaking of benches andchandeliers. It ap- pears that the names of the parties above mentioned were announced in the bill to dance the Polka Na- tionale, but when the time arrived for the performance of the pas, Mr. Smith refused to dance with Miss ‘Turnbull, on the ground that there was no engage- ment on his part to dance with her; but, on the con- trary. he was under am engagement to dance with Sig- nora Ciocca. Upon his refusal, Miss T. appeared on the stage, and stated to the audience that Mr. Smith had refused to dance with her because she was, unfor- tunately, an American. The row then began, and the ery for * native talent” rang through the theatre.— Mr. Stevens, the stage manager, then appeared, and attempted to explain the matter, when the audience became more enraged, and he was obliged to retire,— A general tearing up of the seats was then commenced, and quiet was not again restored until alate hour. Tue Bavantan Consut.—An application was made yesterday morning to ‘Judge Betts, at Chamb-rs, for a Warrant of arrest against the Bavarian Consul, for acts of assault and threatgaed violence, and breach of the peace, committed against a citizen of this State, We understand his Honor decided that although the State courts could not take jurisdiction of those com- plainte, because of the consular character of the party, yet, as no act of Congress or law of nations have been violated by the Consul, he is not subject to criminal prosecution in the courts of the United States for the offences complained of. The application was made at Chambers, at an early hour, and was strictly private, ‘We were, threfore, unable to obtain particulars, but we believe that the matter will be brought before the authorities at Washington, in the coyrse of a few days. Finus.—A fire broke out about 8 o'clock Monday night in the house 58 West Broadway, which was put out with trifling damage. A fire broke out, also, about 9 ovclock same night, in the wheelwright and blacksmith rhep of Messrs, Griffin & Porter, inthe rear of 518 Washington street, which was partially destroyed. — Damage supposed to be about $1000. ‘The flames com- municated to No. 50, occupied by Jesse Wet asa pro- vision store, and Mesérs, McReady & Turner asa sugar refinery. Damage to the latter, about $250. Dnowsen.—A young colored man was drowned on Monday, at the foot of Thirty-fourth street, while bath- ing. fie did not know how to swim, and foolishly went into the river where the water was about twenty feet deep. Thereewere several gentlemen a short dis- tance off, who, discovering him go down, and not rising again, went to the place, when one of them lunged to the bottom, to see if he had drowned, and, fate third attempt found his body at the bottom, and brought it up; life was then extinct. AccipentaL Daowxinc.—The Coroner held an in- quest, yesterday, at the foot of Sith street, East river, on the body of @ colored boy, 17 years ot age, by the name of John Williams, who came to his death by bathing in the river. It appears he undressed himself and took a dive off the pier, rose up to the surface once, and then sunk. The body was subsequently re- covered, two hours afterwards, by some]person diving, who brought it to the surface. Verdict accordingly, Axotnen.—The Coroner held another inquest yes- terday, att ‘th ward police station, on the body of Robert Gale. a native of England, 18 years of age, who came to his death under the following circumstances. It bj see that on Monday afternoon, the decased was teen ina boat rowing, when suddenly he fell on one ride, and bis bead and shoulders sunk in the water, where be remained until assistance was procured, and the boat brought to the shore, when he was found to be quitedead. It was supposed he fell over in a fit. Verdict accordingly. Suppex Deatu.—Tbe Coroner likewise held an in- quest at the corner of Market and Water streets, on the body of Mary Elizabeth Chapman, aged 3 years who came to her death by disease of the lungs. Pronante.—The “peck in the Herald of Saturday morning. of a fire on Thursday night, in the store at the corner of Greenwich and Laight strets, the pro- rietor taye, was incorrect, and that it was only “the Feoitare of the spirit gas in the tube of the lamp, which was extinguished without even breaking the Jass,”’ so, of course, no fireoccurred.

Violent Assault ona Hack Driver.—A caso of ®-vio- lant, asewult and battery was heard yesterday bhe- fore Justice Lothrop, at the Tombs, in which « tespect- able looking man, by the name of Robert W. Macka: reriding in Brooklyn, was charged by John Hanner, one of Gur peaceable Mack drivers of this city, with striking bim several violent blows on the head with a henvy headed cane.

SramrepE amon@ rue Neorors.—The city yes- terday morning was filled with rumors and excite- ment, on account of a concocted and well-laid scheme for a wholesale al ding of the negroes in this vicinity, Rumor states that the number ascertained tohave left this neighborhood on Saturday night is between fifty and eighty. We have no certain in- formation as to the precise number missing, but we know of thirty who are certainly gone. They loft by the way of Russell road, in # northura direction, It is supposed they have been persuaded off by. and are under the care of, the itionists. One owner states that they were seen going down the Versailles road, a firing of pistols. whooping. and singing songs und ditties. No doubt, white men have had a hand in this matter, $5000 reward has been offered by the owners of the runaways for their apprehension. It has been ascer- tained that thirty-six slaves have been missing. We learn that several have run away from Woodford and Franklin, We also learn by telegraphic despatch, that a good many escaped from the counties of Mason and Bourbon, on Saturday night. We never heard of such wholeeale ruaning off of negroes before. It is all the work of the abolitionists.—Lexington Atlas. We understand, from the Commercial, that the slaves above alluded to, concentrated at a point (agree- ably, as is supposed, to @ preconcerted plan), opposite to Ripley in this State, preparatory to a start. They were found at that place by some seventeen armed mon, and a portion of the slaves being armed, jhe consequence, in which two of the w! and one of the slaves were seriously wound Jatter succeeded in driving off their pursuers, and now thought to be on the high road to Canada.— cinnati Atlas, Aug. 11, ite men The Canat Banx Inpicrmenrs.—The grand jury was occupied several days last week with complaints against the officers of the Canal Bank. Bills of indictment were found against Theodore Olcott, the Cashier, John Keyes Paige, the President, and John L. Crew, the Teller, of that bank. There were five bills found agamst the Cashier, three against the Teller, and one against the President. —Albany Argus, Aug. 14. Tue Porvation or Canapa.— We understand that the result of the census, just completed, of toe Upper Canada, will give that’ section of the pro- vince a population from 689,000 to 700.000 souls; while, by the census of 18423, it was only 401,051, giving an increase, in five years, of nearly 00,000 T'hs last census for Lower Canada was takenin 1844, when the population was 699.806 souls, the increase upon which, during the last four years, is calculated, by re- ference to precedi»g terms at which censuses have been taken, to be about 70,000, giving this section of the province a present popt n of about 770.000, The population of Upper Cauada would, thus, appear, to increase at the rate of about 40,000 per annua and Lower Canada at that of about 17,000 per annum. Supposing there relative rates of increase to be main- tained, year 1652 will see Upper Canada with @ popula- tion of 859.000, and Lower Canada with only $41,000, 1862 will give the formera population of 9 000, and the lat‘er only 1,015,000 sculs, The experience of the past,and the present condition of Great Britain aad Ireland, wili, we think. justify the belief that the in- crease of our population by immigration will be greater during the next twelve years than it has ever | hitherto been, and that the relative proportions ot such increase will be largely in favor of Upper Canada, ‘The probability, then, is, that, by the year 1862, the | ‘Western rection of the province will contain one mil- lion and a half of inhabitants, or oue-thicd more than that of the Eastern rection. We give these calcula- tions for the benefit of M. Papineau and his friends, | who seck te upset the existing proportionate repre. septation from each section of the province, settled | by the Union Act, and based upon various elements and to adopt, in its stead, that of numbers alone, ir. respective of property. intelligence. education, and enterprize. — Montreal Herald, ug. 8th.
