PkodvuIjI no point in connection with our early state hi-tory hsw been more plainly made or moie uxiiver sally accepts! than (Le statement concerning the connection of Dr. Marcus "Whitman with the "Webster Ashburton treaty. Barrows, in his work entitled '-Oregen: the Stiuggle for Posses-ion," lecently published, has apparently not succeeded in mail ing his ideas on the subject as.clear as he would wish, for in an exchange to hand last evening we find the fol lowing, over his signature: "The facts are these: The Ashburton-Web-ster treaty was signed August 9, 1842. Oregon was not referred to in it, noi in the official negotiation1; or papers, asLord Ashburton had no instruc tions or power to touch it His lim its for nesotIalious were to the Rocky Mountaius. When Whitman arrived in Washington, March 3. 1842, the treaty hal been hignod and "trans mitted to England won1 than .six mouths. Therefore all the reported conversations between Whitman, Webster, and President Tyler over the Ashburton iieaij. the stopping of the fish trade for Oiegou. are pure fane. Xo treaty, or negotiations on the Ore gon question were then on hand, and so there was nothing o any official churacter for Whitman, to stop. IIo did make that heroic and terrible journey over the mountains and plains between the Columbia and the Potomac, to pre en I the sale spoken of, for the immigrants of 1S12 had started in Oregon the unfounded ru-i nior. Nor ci the doctor relieved of aniiely about i! till Itc arrived in St. Louis on hii journey, w licit? ihiv writ er met him and took his h.clo."' 'It must be added emphatically, and great!;, to hit. honor, that Dr. Whitman did save the Northwijst to the United Sn.tes b his visit. For he first gave to .tir government lull and accurate accounts of Oiegon, its worth to us. and lis r.cces&ibility. and then took back So men, Avoinen, and children, 200 wagons, and 1.300 head of cattle. Tne wonderful ride to Washington, diffused aud stimulating information, r.ud his returning iaia van, gave us Oregon.
