1 he last advices from England wero ndic ativo of a considerable intirest on the Orecon queaiiön. 1 he Preeident's Inaugural had been reccived there, and that porlion of t which declares that our tille to that country is clear and unquestionablo, and tliat our peopli are preparing to occupy it, wos referred to by Lord John Russell. Sir Robert Peel, in his remarla affirrnèd tlie riht of England to be indisputable, and closed by sayingi ... lWe trust still to arrive at an nmicab'e adjustmem- we desire lo efToct an smi cable adjustment of our clnirr; bu t ha ving exhausted every cffirt to efirct that pettlement, if onr rirlits ehnll be invuded, tve am resolved, and we re prepnred to maintain them." This was rnceived wiih greot opplause. Sóine of thc'very p'atnptíc paptrs of thi country are alremly fierce for a fight with Eugland, and confidont we shul! have it.

TIiq wliole matter will be settlcd without war, by the help of considerable bluplcring on botli siHes.'The preitest good of thegreatest number,1 is the cardinal principie of democracy. Jackson Patriot. It is n bad principie, neven lieless, and ha been nsed in every nge ns a cloak for all manner of nppression and wickedness towards tho few, on the pretence that the condition of inany wonld be tliercby improved. It is tho principie on which Caiphas ndvoented the murIáer of Jesus Cl)is. He thonght il bettor that one mnn should die rather than a wholo nat ion sliould be destroyed. On the sanie piinciple the Patriot and its "Democratie"' brethren sustain the enslavement of millions of native bom Arnericans. Any principie that tiileiates wrono and oppression towards nny individual of the human fainily cannot be right or expedient. We would roggest to our neiglibor of the Patriot that "the greatett good of the waoLB numner" 8 a principia far more worthy of adoption by true Demácrate. "Thegrcal body of the Dcmocracy of the North, are now, as they always have been, the natural and faithful allies of the South, and of soulhern interest s." James K. Polk, Speech Oct. 23, 1841,CC?0 The State Journal says that "the Whig mrty - the w-hole Whig party; iiorth and south - is becoming more and more anlislavery." No otlier paper has ha news! Will tlie Journal name a sin. gle antislavery act which "the . whole Whig parly" haS ever performed, or a single antislavery principie which it has expressed ihrough its conventions? If the party lias not taken ihe first step, why talk of i's beeomiug more antislavery? We commend to the Ediiors notice the following extract frum the N. Y. Tribune: ''We will here repeal our prolest against the gross and unuarrantable assumptiou of individuáis, whelher few or inany, edÑ tors or others, who undertake to protnulgnle theirown notionsas Whig doctrines.
