Excerpt from Speech of Hon. Joseph P. Hoge, of Illinois, on the Oregon Question: Delivered in the House of Representatives, Friday, January 30, 1846 And again, sir: With respect to the notice for terminating the joint occupancy of Oregon, we are not sure that President Polk may not receive it from the English Government before he can pos sibly be in a condition to give it himself. But whether given by the one side or the other, we do not conceive that it Will add materially, if at all, to the chance of a hostile collision. It has been obvious enough for some time past, that unless 'the question can be amicably settled in a very fshort period, say in twelve months at the latest, hardly anything can prevent war; and, therefore, a decisive step like that of giving notice for put ting an end to the subsisting agreement, is rather favorable than otherwise. When both Govern ments know that the alternative is an arrange. Ment in a year, or war, they will see that there is no time to be lost in useless discussion, 'and, will probably hit upon some compromise to\ which both can accede.
