It xjHK?irs fnwtt the lunnber of ipio tations and the Ieh if th article found in Thk Daily Astokian of the Oth of Miircli, Unit the writer, giving the name F. F. Victor, concbides sIhj has all the facts mimI all the ''truth." and knows aii rIkhH that question, and hat coiivineed huraelf, and hhe. in fitet, lmvc& rather ghid Mr. Clark had furnished 1im- mu ocesioii for pointing out the truth to the wIhi think, as sh does, tltt a kiveof truth is abeve a devotion to an jdea, wliether it is religion or iMilitic?." She contiinieft to inform us that: Coiitroversey disagreeable to her, thoiH;h for the sake of truth .4c might enter upon a joust, now and then, with a knight clnd in such mail jus is worn by W. H. Gray, who has answered my article in Thk Astokian of .September 10th. Mr. Graj, in his History of Oregon, has asserted that Dr. Whitman did save Oregon to the 1'mted States. 1 clearly .showed in my article that he did not. This statement of Mrs. Victor per mits me to review her proofs of asser tion. There is a difference of opinion jibout Mrs. Victor's article to which she refers. The Walla-walla States man of Septuiulair lo says of her: Like all persons who st:irt out with :i weak case, Mrs. Victor attempts to and proves too much, for m laying particular stress upon the fact, that Marcus Whitman arrived in Washiug- ton after the "Ashhnrton Treat v" had been continued, she attempts to be- little the services of a patriot and to convey the impression that UusgoTcrn incut had relinquished its claim to the Oregon country by the terms of that treaty, when, as a matter uf fact, the Asliburtuii ireaty avoided all refer ences to the Oregon boundary by fixing the frontier line from the At lantic to lake of the Woods. To snv, therefore, that Dr. Whitman accom plished nothing while in Wellington is far from the truth, as he was en abled to enlist the services of many eminent men in the Oregiinaui.se. and "otably that f enat.r Uenton, of .iuowuii, nil" i;.n..m -v... made a siiecialtv of the subject jmd whose fracas witli Senator Butler, of South Carolina, in August 1848, is historical. Ill spite of all that may be said or written to the contrary, the fact remains as Mr. Clarke stated it, "that but for Dr. Whitman the re sult would have been different. The Mruish flag would still flat over ,,rt ancoiivur aim over many a broad undcr llle American flk league ot lanu besides, wliicn snelters Mrs. Victor holds on to the Ash burton treaty as her only hope, ignor. iug even- other historical fact and hor own former quotations, and makes a i ... personal attack ujjon iMsmve know- J ..,', I teue oi eveiius iiihi nersuii jinn niosi if the ersons whom she ijuotes knew nothing about. In my former answer thinks unanswerable 1h tit ted her hng troat3' , ",.,"" AMibiirton treaty to winch thv iv- j f erred, suptooing it reasonable and pnjwr to do , if site had correctly 'l" ur autherity: hut from the quotations 4tc makes from my history ami the conclusions she draws. 1 am quite doubtful f her careful quoting and correct xMclutcHts. Mrs. Victor, in her attempt to correct me, makes quite a mistake in the use of one word, and added one I did not use. She says: .. on. .h. .sSf 1......-11 r. hitman .nay imC have mdneiiced the Ashburton treaty. "I f .1. 1. !- i 1 said it comW not influence a treaty already made. Referring to Dr. Whit man, his influence in "one to be mnde," "had the desired. effect." Mrs. Victor now comes to my history and says: But in his history he plainly im putes tlie influence to the Ashburton treaty, which was concluded before Dr. Whitman set out for the states, and which did not relate to the Oregon boundary. What he says is this: "Besides, he had about traded it off with Governor Simpson, to go into the Ashburton treaty, for a cod fishery on New Fotiudland. I wish to call the attention of Mrs. Victor, and all who read my history, to a fact and the exact words I used in the 37th chapter. 239th page: "Thus far in this narrative I give Dr. Whitman's, Mr. Lovejoy's, and my own knowledge. I find an article in the Pacific of November 9th from 3Ir. Spalding, which gives us the result." Rev. Mr. Sliding was alive when the histury was wrjtten and published in 1870 and received a copy. His atten tion was called to that statement on the 290th page, -which Mrs. Victor at- inouiesio me ami wuic. x u.u feelat liheny to chansje or leave out of the quotation, as it came through Dr. Whitman to Mr. Spalding as in formation received through tlie con versation that Mr. Webster had with Dr. Whitman, and that such a propo sition had been made to disprove of the entire Inmudary tptestion. At the time they had only agreed to the line to the Stony or Rocky mountains, leaving the Hshory and extended louiMlary question to future negotia tions. There was at that time, and the whole f it not vet settled, what we may call a three cornered squabble) between Groat Britain and the United States, kept in controversy on our eastern iMiundary by the cod fishers of America, Canada and England, and by the fur traders on our western coast. That on the east relating to the cod fisheries scarcely settled yet, though a large sum of imuiuy has been paid. That on the west side relating to San .1 linn island but recently. But a short time before Dr. Whitman was in Washington, the Maine boundary and the cod fishery question was promi nent. The Oregon question was least hinted at in America, in fact, it was the vast unknown wilderness of. Ameri ca. But American citizens, and fur trappers and traders were being driven from it. British traders were increas ing in wealth" and power and influence over the natives. 11... 1 .1.1....1 ..4.. ....T....,l 4V... x,,c -" " l"iivu uic wist, and if he had not been deceived by representatives of the liudsons bay company, and made to believe that they were securing Oregon or New Albion to the British crown, he would hare unquestionably secured Oregon at the same time, through the ignorance of our national representa tives of its real value. "It is said de lays are dangerous." It was peculialy so in the attempt of the British gov ernment to hold New Albion or Ore gon through the influence of the Hud sons bay company. Mrs. Victor snys: When it is shown that this was a blunder, he shuffles the influence onto the treaty of 1S4U, or some other with which the doctor find nothing to do, :is neither Webster nor Tvler wore parties to that trentv So much for the treaties. 1 uo not wish to return Mrs. Victors compliment even when she considers she Ims entirely vanquished me by saying 1 "shuffle the iiiHnence onto the treaty of 1S40," but hope she will aiiow me to say that her attempt at historical criticism Jippoars somewhat captious flavored with dogmatism, as well as incorrectness of date; she ays: But what I now propose to show, since I hai'e been fairly challenged, is that the thirty-seventh ehapter of Gray's History of Oregon is a tissue of fictions. To begin with, he repre sents that the Red river emigration brought out by Governor Siinjoii, was m 1542. It was-in IS II. (See Sir Georga Stmpsoit'.s Narrative.
