latitude. The United States alone advances joint or counter claims. But on the ground of disco- very they have none previous to the expedition of Clarke and Lewis, during the second Presidency of Jefferson, and the American Government, in fitting out that expedition, expressly disclaimed all intention of acquiring territory West of the Rocky Mountains. Mr Falconer has proved that the Union acquired no title to Oregon by the purchase of Louisiana. Previously to 1912, England had done all that is required by the law of dations to acquire a sufficient title to a country occupied only by nomade, tribes, and previously to that year the United States had done nothing. Under these cir cumstances, for England to give up her claim to Oregon-even were the region of little value- merely to gratify the opinionativeness and self will of the citizens of the United States, would be to invite further aggression-to say, take Canada or the West Indies next. But Oregon has much fer- tile territory and a good climate. North of the Columbia, agricultural settlements of considerablo extent have been formed under the auspices of the Hudson's Bay Company- There is an increasing population of the Company's retired officers and their descendants. Aud, quito independently of the fur trade, a healthy growing commi reo has arisen between Oregon and that great mart of whalers the Americas colony of the Sandwich Islands to the South and the Russian settlements to the North. The title of England to Oregon is no longer a mere barien title to warte and unprofitable lands, but a title to watch over and protect the persons and properties of an industrious and enterprising community of British subjects
