      One highly respectable gentleman in Stamford has experienced the most wonderful benefit in a severe and obstinate asthma , witli which he has been troubled for the lust twenty years .

I have sold dozens of boxes entirely through his recommendation : I have pleasure in adding that the gentleman is willing to give all the information possible to parties who way be suffering from the same disease , and on application to me I may give his name .

The senator from Connecticut had said that the best mode of preserving peace was to preParV ° []™!; ™ the senator from Ohio had endorsed the expres sion , but had also said that the best preparation , after all , was to prepare the hearts of the people for the war which was to follow . He proceeded to examine some discrepancies in the remarks of Mr . Allen , and then argued from the examples in tae Senate in 1 S 31 on the north-eastern boundary , and in 1836 on the question of the French indemnities , that there was no danger of war m this instance . He concluded by saying , that independently of any opinion on-the subject , and whether there would be or warhe should vote for the resolutions . . .. - .. .,...: „„ = Hi ,

      peace , Mr . Breese advocated the resolutions , and insisted that Oregon , so far from being the barren desert it bad been represented , was a delightful and prolific region . Mr . Woodbridge , in view of the propriety in any event of fitting up our defences , especially along our northern frontiers , said he would Vote for the resolutions . The result was—Ayes , 42 ; noes , none . Mr . Allen this morning introduced , on leave , the following joint resolution , viz . : — "Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America , in Congress assembled—That the President of the United

      States be , and he is hereby advised to give , forthwith , notice to the Government of Great Britain , that the Government of the United States will , in virtue of the second article of the convention of the Cth of August , A . D . 1827 , between the United States and Great Britain , relative to the joint occupancy of the Oregon territory , and after the expiration of twelve months from the day on which such notice shall have been received by the Government of Great Britain , annul and abrogate that convention . " This was read the first time , and a second reading was urged by Mr . Allen , but objected to . . _ Due 22 .

      Mr . Levy , of Florida , offered a resolution , which was read , as follows : — Resolved , That it is the opinion of the Senate that negotiations be opened with the government of Spain for the cession to the United States of the island of Cuba , the inhabitants of the same assenting thereto . ,. Dec . 27 . Mr . Levy , on leave , withdrew his resolution for instrncting the President upon the subject of enenin "

      negotiations for the purchase of the kingdom of Spain , of the island oi Cuba . Mr . AtcMson ' s resolutions for instructing the several committees in the premises respectively , upon the expediency of establishing a local government over Oregon , and of a line of block-houses , and of a corps of mountaineer riflemen , for the protection and defence of emigrants ; and of a post route and post offices ; and of Indian agencies , principal and sub ., and upon the expediency of granting lands to settlers , &c .

      . Ms . Caluoun said that as these resolutions embraced a series of questions of the greatest character , ke should be pleased if the S > nate would permit the postponement of their consideration nntil some day after the holidays , and that , meantime , the resolutions be printed . Mr . Atchison said he had no sort of objection to their postponement ; but as they were mere resolu tions of inquiry , he thought there could be no impropriety in referring them to the committees . They went no further than the President had gone in his message . Mr . Calhoun admitted that these resolutions , and the resolution of Mr . Allen , for giving the twelve months' notice , be laid aside , and taken up on some sjiven day after the holidays . At any time , thereafter , at the pleasure of the Senate , would be suitable to him .

      Mr . Atchison said that Mr . Allen ' s resolution had been referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations ; and that these resolutions would refer themselves . Mr . Calhoun suggested that meantime the resolutions be laid over , and that , on some future day , the whole subject matter of all t ! ie resolutions of Mr . Atchison , and of the resolution of Mr . Allen , be taken up together . Mr . Allen hoped the resolution would be pewiitted to pass to the committees . When they should render in their reports , aday for their consideration could be appointed . Mr . Calhoun submitted to the arrangement , with the understanding that the whole of these Oregon inquiries should be taken up together , when formally taken up for discussion . So the instructions of Mr . Atchison to half a dozen of the committees , were referred . The Senate , after a short executive session , adjourned .

      HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES , Due . 1 C . The joint resolutions for the admission of the State of Tesas with the Union was discussed and passed by a vote of Ml to . 50 . Mr . Douglass , of Illinois , from the Committee on Territories , introduced a bill for the extension of the United States government over Oregon , till the joint occupancy is terminated , which it authorises the President to make . It provides that it be considered as a part of Wisconsin Territory up to 54 . 40 ., establishing military posts , mail routes , < fcc , and appropriates 200 , 000 dols . for these objects . Referred to committee of the whole , and made the special order for the second Tuesday in January . Mr . Winthrop , of Massachusetts , introduced the following resolutions , which under the rule go over for debate : —

      Resolved , That the differences between the United States and Great Britain , on the subject of the Oregon territory , are still a fit subject for negotiation and compromise , and that satisfactory evidence has not yet been afforded that no compromise which theUnited States ought to accept can be effected . Resolved , That it would be a . dishonour to the age in which we live , and in the highest degree discreditable to both the nations concerned , if they should suffer themselves to be drawn into a war , * upon a question of uo immediate or practicalinterest to either of them . Resolved , That if no other mode for the amieable adjustment of this question remains , it is due to the principles of civilization and Christianity that a resort to arbitration should be had ; and that this Government cannot relieve itself from all responsibility which may follow the failure to settle the controversy - » hile this resort is still untried .

      Resolved , That arbitration does not necessarily involve a reference to crowned heads ; and that if a jealousy of such a reference is entertained in any quarter , a commission of able and dispassionate citizens , either from the two countries concerned , or from the world at large , offers itself as an obvious and unobjectionable alternative . The resolutions lie over for debate . Mr . Douglass offered the following counter resolutions : — Resolved , That the title to any part of the Oregon territory south of 54 degrees 40 minutes of north latitude , is not open to compromise , so as to surrender any part of the said territory . Resolved , That the question of title to the territory should not be left open to arbitration . Mr . Douglass proposed to debate the resolutions ; when those of Mr . Winthrop came up , they accordingly fell over .

      There will , before the session termintes , be a struggle in the house upon some of these propositions —so far as they may be supposed to interfere with the existing convention with Great Britain . Dec . 27 . The hill for extending the law of the United States oTer Texas was taken up , and read thrice and passed . Dec . 29 . A bill from the Senate , organising Texas into a collection district , was taken up , read three times , and passed ; after which the house adjourned , Mr . Douglas , of Illinois , having the floor on the naturalisation question . Mr . Buwlin submitted sundry resolutions , viz : —

      1 . Resolved , That the Committee on Naval Affairs be instructed to inquire into the expediency of employing a portion of the home squadron within our territory of Oregon , in exploring the coast , rivers , harbours , bays and straits , and also for the protection of our extensive commerce on the North Pacific Ocean . 2 . Resolved , that the Committee on Military Affairs be instructed to inquire into the expediency of establishing an expiring expedition by land , to examine the various passes in the Rocky Mountains , and the territories adjacent thereto , for the purpose of ascertaining the most practicable route for connecting navigable waters of the Mississippi with those of the Oregon territory . 3 . Resolved , That the Committee on Military Affairs be instructed to inquire info the expediency of employing a portion of the troops of the United States as a pioneer corps to aid and protect emigrants by land on their route to Oregon .

      l . Resolved , That the Committee on Indian Affairs be instructed to inquire into the expediency of extending the laws regulating our Indian intercourse over the territory of Oregon , with provision for the gradual extinguishment of the Mian title to lands in that territory , upon principles of justice and equity , so as to avoid conflicts between the settlers and the Indian tribes , relative to their possessions , and for the purpose of securing lasting peace and friendship between them . 5 . Resolved , That the Committee on the Public Lands be instructed to inquire into the expediency of establishing a system of surveys in Oregon , commensurate with the settlement by American citizens similar to the system already established in other poitions of the territories of the United States

      6 . Rerolved , That the Committee on the Militia be instructed to inquire into the expediency of organising the militia in the territory of Oregon , a " nd furnishing them with arms and ammunition , to enable them to defend themselves against the encroachments of the hostile Indians in that vicinity 7 .

      MANSION HOUSE . Tdesdat . —A Smasher Leauned in the Law !—A young fellow , named occasionally William Poston , who has been some time one of the leaders of the Wb ' stminster gang of bad money utterers , was brought up for final examination upon the charge of having exhibited two of his manoeuvres in the shop of Mr . Baker , 110 , Cheapside , tobacconist . The cool self-possession of the prisonercaused some surprise in the justice-room ; for he not only questioned the right of the Lord Mayor to send him for trial , but he denied the application of the law as quoted by Mr . Goodman to his particular case . Frederick Breach , shopman to Mr . Baker , said : —On Tuesday last between two and three o'clock in the afternoon , the prisoner came into the shop , and asking for three cheroots laid down a sovereign . I gave him half a sovereign in

      change . He then asked me to change it , as he thought it was light . I accordingly took from him what I then believad to be the coin I had just -jiven him , and gave him another half sovereign . He then requested me to give him silver instead of the half sovereign I had just handed to him , liut upon taking up the half sovereign I perceived that it was a counterfeit , and not the sound one which I had just given to him . I laid down the counterfeit piece , and going round I shut the door , and demanded from the prisoner the good half sovereign which I had that moment given him , when he said , " Here it is ; here is the good half sovereign which you gave me ; " and I took it from him . When I looked for the counterfeit he had last given me , it was gone from the counter , and could not be found . I then determined to examine the half sovereign

      which he had returned me in the first instance , and I discovered it also to be counterfeit , and it was the one which I now produce . —The Lord Mayor : Well , I shall commit the prisoner for trial . Do you wish to say anything , prisoner?—The prisoner : Yes , my lord . I wish to know whether you can commit me without knowing that the Mint will prosecute !—The Lord Mayor : No doubt of it . I intend to commit you now , and Mr . G oodinan will make out your commitment . —The prisoner : I wish to know whether Mr . Goodman has got the authority of the solicitor to the Mint to send this case to the Central Criminal Court . You'll excuse me , my lord , but I don't think he has . The law requires that two offences must' be committed by the sainu party , and one within fourteen days of the other . Now where is the second piece of bad money to show against me ( laughter )?—The Lord Mayor : The act of p&rliameut is constrned by you too partially in

      your own case . We have a section that will meet your ease . —The prisoner : I do Hot consider that you can legally commit me , without producing bad money passed by me within fourteen days . In fact I know it ( a laugh ) . —The Lord Mayor : You will find yourseif mistaken . You have , with all your legal acquirements upon the branch of trade you follow , stumbled upon a section under which you will not bs prosecuted , and you have overlooked that under which you certainly shall be prosecuted . You supposed that we would go against you for a heavier punishment , and indiet you for an offence , the proof of which would require additional evidence . We shall do nothing of the kind . As we can't get any more for you , ' we shall be satisfied with the one year ' s imprisonment . —The prisoner : I don't think I shall get it ( laughter ) . The Lord Mayor : Ho ; and if the Mint should hesitate upon the subject , I shall direct the City Solicitor to prosecute . The prisoner was then committed for trial .

      WORSHIP-STREET . Tdesdat . —Fobgeby . —Michael Marlow , formerly a police constable , and who , it has been stated , has been in custody , and imprisoned as a begging-letter writer since his discharge from the police force , was placed at the bar before Mr . Bingham upon several charges of uttering forged checks purporting to he drawn by Mr . Henry Thomas Timson , a gentleman of fortune residing at Ealing , near Southampton , upon Messrs . Glyn and Co ., the bankers in the city . The facts previously established were , in brief , that the prisoner , on tha 29 th ult ., vfcnt to the sign of the King ' s Head , at Clapton , and obtained a bottle of brandy in the name of a married lady named Tate , presenting in payment a check upon Messrs . Glyn aud Company , for £ 10 . Mr . Hubble , the landlord ! having several times given cash for checks from the same

      quarter , bo suspicion was entertained with respect to the one in question , hut it was afterwards returned as a forgery . The prisoner was again remanded for the production of further evidence .

      MARLBOROUGH STREET . Wendesday . —Embezzlement . —Thomas Thorn was brought before Mr . Maltby for final examination , charged with having embezzled various sums of mousy belonging to his late employer , Mr . Watson , earver , gilder , and picture-dealer , No . 210 , Piccadilly . Mr . Watson said the prisoner was engaged by him in August , 1844 , as clerk , and eontinued in the same until Fubuary 1845 , when he left . It waB the duty of the prisoner to keep the books , and receive money , and hand the same over immediately to him . Prosecutor , some time after the prisoner had gone away ascertained that several of the customers' bills had been receivedand not accounted for . He immediatel y sought out the prisoner , but was unable to meet with him until recently , when he caused him to be taken into custody The prisoner made no defence and w » s fuuv ' ! mitted , '

It appeared from the evidence that on the 3 rd instant thechild of a man named Sham * ensey , who lives in Sawyer ' s-r-lace , Bunhill ., Ow died aud that since then all the relative ! and acquaintances of the parents , who are Irish , havobeen assembled at the house , and a continued scene of boisterous merriment was kept up in the very room where the deceased lay up to the morning of Sunday last , the day of burial . ' It appeared that each person upon entering the room raised the lid of the coffin , and inspected the features of the eorpse , and then put down a sum of money wherewith to

      procure porter , gin , &e . The prisoner , who had been there all the we « k , quarrelled with tha complainant on Sunday morning . The room was quite full of paople at the time , and a frightful scene ensued , the relatives of each party joining in the affray .

      years surgeon ' in the armies of Greece , Poland , and Portugal , who made an application to Mr . Bond , about two months since , with reference to some alleged claims on tho government , to-day waited upon Mr . Burrell on the same subject . The magistrate having inquired his business , Dr . Quail said that he had come to put himself under the protection of the magistrate , as he c » uld not obtain satisfaction of the ministers , He had been promised attention to his claims many times from the ministers , but those promises had led to rip result . Mr . Burrell : What claims?—Dr . Quail ; 'They are for seventeen years ' pay and pension for services to Greece , Poland , and Portugal . £ 25 , 000 per annum is accredited to this government from Portugal ta pay the Legion to which I belong , and of which I huve never received a fraction . years suweonin ' the armies ' of Greece , Poland , and Por-

      There is credit open upon the revenue of Greece , upon which I have a claim of £ 15 , 000 , since 1829 , whilst the government arc also indebted to me in the amount of £ 50 a-year , for eight years , from Poland . The British Parliament accords £ 12 , 400 a-year to pay the Polish refugees , but I have not been paid any subsidy since 1837 . Dr . Quail was proceeding , when Mr . Burrall stopped him , by observing , " This is not a matter which I can entertain . " Dr . Quail : I wish for a warrant , sir , against the secretary of tho Treasury , that he may be brought heforc you to explain the motiveB for my being deprived of my rights . Mr . Burrell : Oh , no ; I cannot think of doing that . There ij not the slightest ground for entertaining such an application . The natural influence must be that if the claims were just they would be acceded to . The complainant then retired .

      DREADFUL EXPLOSION OF FIRE-DAMP IN MONMOUTHSHIRE . Newport , Monmouthshire , Jan . U . —This morning a tearful explosion of fire-damp occurred soven miles from this town , at the works of Mr . John Russell , by which a sacrifice of thirty-five lives ha 3 taken place . So far as we have bora able to discover , the disaster occurred through the injudicious use of Davy ' s lamp . [ another account . ] There happened tliis morning , about half-past seven o ' clock , a tremendous explosion of lire-damp at the colliery of Messrs . John Russell and Co . of

      , Risca , in this neighbourhood , accompanied witli a frightful loss of life . It appears that a great number of the workmen luve been keeping holiday , and that only about 150 men . were wovkine in the pit at the time of the explosion . The accident occurred in a big vein , where about thirty-five men were working , which is the number missing on their being mustered at the mouth of the pit . Fourteen bodies have been already brought up , the state of the pit being such as to prevent searching for the remainder . It was expected that about four o ' clock to-day there would be sufficient air in the workings to enable the search to be continued . There can , however , be little doubt that the remaining number are dead .

      Poaching Affrat . —On Tuesday last , January 13 , the magistrates of Worcestershire , sitting in petty sessions at Worcester , were occupied some time in investigating a charge brought by William Mann , a gamekeeper of Lord Sandys , who resides at Onibersley , in that county , against a labouring man named William Day , tor cutting and wounding him , with intent to do him some grievous bodily harm . The case , as laid before the bench on the part of the prosecution , was briefly as follows : —On Saturday , the 8 th of November last , the gamekeeper , while patrolling a certain portion of his Lovdalup ' s preserves , called Gardener ' s-coppice , encountered the prisoner Day , in company with his companions , named Woodward and Ourrtock , busily engaged in laying snares for game . On tho parties catchinar

      sight ot the gamekeeper they approached him in a menacing attitude , and Woodward and Day set upon the keeper with heavy sticks or bludgeons while Curnock kept the keeper ' s dog at bay . The keeper attempted to defend himself , but was overcome by nurabera , and the poachers succeeded in knocking down Mann and rendering him insensible from the effects of two scalp wounds , the marks of which lie showed to the Court . On recovering his senses the keeper found himself alone , and saw nothing more of his assailants until last week , when Day was taken at the house of his parents at White Lady Aston , about ten miles from Ombersley . Woodward , the second of the poachers , -was tried at the last Worcestershire Quarter Sessions ( last week ) on a charge oi

      stealing a waistcoat at Worcester , and , being found guilty , was sentenced to three months' imprisonment , at the expiration of which time he will be taken before the magistrates on the charge of attacking Mann as above described . Cu . nock , it seems , has left the country , never having been seen or heard of since the above transaction . Both the complainant and the defendant were supported by legal advisers ; Mr . Hido , of Worcester , appearing for the prosecution , and Mr . lirampton , of the same city , for the accused . On behalf of Day a bold defence was set up , Mr . lirampton being instructed to plead an alibi . To substantiate this , two witnesses were called , viz ., the mother of the accused , and a young woman owning the euphonious name of Martha Hugginswith whom

      , « wo ^ ld scera that Da > ' is "keeping company . " Mrs . Day deposed that her 8911 left home at 9 o ' clock on the Saturday morning with Martha Huggins to go to Worcester , and returned at 11 o'clock with her . Martha said that" Bill Day " went with her on the Saturday merning to Worcester . Both left White Lady Aston at 9 o ' clock , and she positively swore that he never left her company until 0 o ' clock the same evening . Tho attack at Ombersley , live or six miles from ^ yorcester , was stated to have taken place at & o ' clock in the afternoon ! AHer patiently hearing both sides , the magistrates decided on committing the prisoner to take his trial at the March assizes on the charge , when the jury would decide on the validity of the defence set ud . The prisoner was

      accordingly committed for trial . Another Serious Collision ok thk Midland Railway . —A very serious collision took place at the Chesterfield station on Tuesday morning . It appeared that as the down train , from Derby to Leeds , arrived at the station at Ckesterneld , ' , she was moving at the most terrific speed , and , although her steam was shut off at a considerable distance from the station , the train , in consequence of the rate it was then going at , was unable to stop , and ran with leartul violence into a mineral train which was crossing at the moment from the down to the up line . The engine of the passenger train was thrown off tho line , and it was almost a miracle that none of the passengers were cither killed or wounded . We are

      happy to state , however , that the whole number escaped uninjured , and the only inconvenience they suffered was a delay of some two or three hours until the line could be cleaved ; the engine itself was completely smashed . The engine of the mineral train was also seriously damaged , but not to the extent of the passenger engine , which was a remarkably powerful one and nearly new . Mr . Cooper , the station-master , was instantly on the spot , and it was soon ascertained that all the passengers were safe , and indeed that not a single individual was hurt ; the greatest confusion , however ,

      prevailed , and for some time the line was impassaole . Four engines , and a largo number of labourers , wero set to work to clear the line of all impediments , so that the public should be as little inconvenienced as possible . Our correspondent was informed that the reason the driver could not stop the engine at tho station , was owing to the slippery state of the rails . Immediately on the accident becoming known at Derby , the engine-driver and guard in charge of the train , were sent for by tho board to explain the cause of the accident , and there cannot be a doubt but the most rigid investi gation will be instituted as to the cause ot tho accident .

The Royal mail steamer Acadia , Captaiu Harrison , arrived here this morning , with the usual mails from Canada and the United States , and about ninety passengers . She left Boston on tho 1 st of January . OREGON AND TEXAS . Sesate , Dkc . 1 & . —Mr . Allen , chairman on foreign relations , gare notice of a joint resolution giving the twelve months ' notice to Great Britain , as required by the stipulation of the conventions of 1 S 16 and 1827 , for the dissolving the joint occupancy of the Oregon territory . The Vice-l ' residentannonnced the unfinished business to be the resolutions of inquiry proposed by Mr Cass , as to the conditioR of the navy , the national fortifications , the army , the militia , < tc . ' m ™^ ., n , n «

      Mr . Niles said he would go for the resolutions After all that had been done by the Executive for the settlement of this controversy by notations , the matter had at length passed from his hands , and it was now thrown upon the legislative department . The negotiations had come to a point-to a standthey were Woken off—they were stopped . W e can t recede-we must stand up for our rignts . In ^ regard of territory , the President has recommended all proper measures for the support of our claims , consistent with treaty obligations . Mr . Mes then adverted to the fact of the English government having extended its judicial jurisdiction over its citizens in Oregon . We were called upon to do the same in behalf of our citizens . The provisions of joint

      occupation were not adapted to a settled and civilised country , nor intended to be . It was necessary to have but onegovernmentoYer the samepeople . With this view , the President had recommended the twelvemonths ' notice , with a view to an exclusive jurisdiction over our portion of the territory . This was a peace movement-it was nece'sarv for peace—lie advocated these resolutions for the sake of peace . Recurring to the expediency of these resolutions , he said that as war might follow , as it was within the range of probabilities , the propositions here submitted were absolutely required of the Senate . But he believed there would be peace—that the 49 th parallel would jet be agreed upon as the dividing line ; that , if

      negotiations were renewed , Great Britain would reconsider her refusal , reverse it , and fall back upon the 49 th degree . She wonld do so when she found that she could bully as out of no more . Mr . Niles disclaimed the apprehension that war , if it did come , wonld result from the precipitancy of the proceed ings of this body and its co-operate branch of the national Legislature . Nothing of the sort . In reviewing the relative prowess of England and the United States , the learned senator thought if the English were a bold , brave , aud courageous nation , it was fair to conclude that we might be found so in an equal degree , descended as we were from the same stock , Ac . Air . Niles , in conclusion , reiterated his d&terminatitn to vote for the resolutions .

      Mr . Crittenden next followed in the discussion . He saw in the resolutions themselves nothing objectionable , and he should vote for them . The remarks of the hon . senator , however , who had introduced these resolutions , gave to them peculiar signifieancy . Mr . Crittenden then reviewed the remarks of General Cass of yesterday , that we must give the twelvemonths' notice , and that if Great Britain then persists in her chum , war is inevitable ; and said that if this were so , we had better , at once , employ ourselves to put on the whole harness of war . He read from the reported speech of General Cass tiie passage upon this point , and asked of the distinguished senator , if this was to be understood as his solemn opinion ? General Cass , after some general explanation , said , that in his own private opinion war was almost inevitable .

      Mr . Crittenden desired a more explicit understanding oi this branch of the senator ' s remarks , delivered in the Senate . General Cass replied , that if we gave twelvemonths' notice , and that if , at the expiration of that period , Great Britain persisted in her claim to the whole of the territory , war was inevitable . Mr . Crittenden said , that tlrs was a substantial retractation of the senator ' s war-like opinions of yesterday . General Cass said that he did not retract a single word that he had said yesterday . Mr . Crittenden was totally at a loss to reconcile the remarks of yesterday with the explanation of today . General Cass further explained .

      Mr . Crittenden turther commented upon the contingencies of war , and said , that he had much preferred the explanation of to-day to the remarks of yesterday . It built up the contingency of war upou so many conditions and provocations , that it almost dissipated it entirely . Mr . Crittendeu had but one object in his remarks , and that was to soften the alarm which the senator ' s remarks of yesterday might have excited . lie should vote for the resolu tions , however , as he feared not that their adoption would hasten the contingency of the war . Mr . Crittenden , as affording time for reflection , suggested two years' notice instead of one .

      General Cass further denned his position , as assumed in his remarks of yesterday . Mr . Webster here arose , and all eyes and ears were bent forward to see and hear him . lie began with his usual cookess , deliberativentSs , thoughtfulness , and quiet self-confidence , so characteristic of the man . Although these resolutions did not charge the committees referred to with any extraordinary inquiries , yet he regretted their introduction nowj and the remarks of the senator from Micnigan , as calculated to produce unnecessary alarm . Every unnecessary alarm about the state of the public peace was a great evil and wss severely felt ui . ou the business of the country . There were two ways in which a government might proceed—we might excite a great alatm

      without any preparation , and we might proceed in that quiet and efficient way of inquiry upon the national defences which would attain the end desired , without disturbing the public tranquillity . Mr . Webster was of opinion that the President did not anticipate war , —thrt the tone of his message did not exhibit that he apprehended any serious danger to the peace of the country , &c . Mr . Webster recurred tu the losses which would affect our commerce and our sea-board from a war with England , and was far from believing that any such dreadful exigency was seriously to be apprehended . Mr . Sevierwas astonished that nothing could be brought forward upon this floor in regard to Oregon but that it met invariably the opposition of the other

      side . He repudiated all the chop-logic about silence , and doing the thing quietly , &c . But if we made a movement of mere inquiry about Oregon , we were told to keep still , or there would be war ; that the steamers of Great Britain wsuld ravage eur coast , and their crews steal our sacking pig *; while the senator from Massachusetts talked of danger to commerce , and all about a strip of barren country on the coast of the Pacific . This was all very welL It was , perhaps , a small business to go to war about a few boxes of tea , or in defence of the rights of a few scores of ragamuffins of sailors ; but Mr . Sevier was not disposed to act so stealthily in this matter , or cower away to the bullying of Great Britain . Her bullying was the whols secret

      of her power—it was by bullying that she had got the nations of Europe under her thumb . Just like some of our Court-house bullies in the West—they contrived to lick some poor fellow , and then every fellow in the county considered them bullies , and not to be treated with contempt . But the senator from Massachusetts advised us to " lay low and keep dark . " [ Mr . Webster here explained what he had said . ] Mr . Sevier pursued his argument in a tone of patriotie defiance to the end , and was disposed , so far from being silent , to talk to Great Britain a little loader than anybody else . Mr . Berrien respectfully dissented , as one of the representatives of the people on this floor , freiu the remarks of the senator from Arkansas . Mr . Berrien

      regretted that the regular order of proceedings had been anticipated by these resolutions . He assumed thatnegotiationswerenot at anend , fromthe evidence furnished in Mr . Buchanan ' s I&nal letter to Mr . Pakenham . He thought that if we should leave this matter of twelvemonths' notice alone . Great Britain herself would give it , and dissolve accordingly the joint occupancy o £ the whole of Oregon , which he thought would be preferable to our giving the notice . The dispute whick had existed for thirty years upon this question was not , in fact , a dispute for the territory , but for th * navigation of the Columbia : and if two nations so intimately associated as the United States and Great Britain should go to war on so small an object , without having first

      exhausted all means of aa amicable adjustment , they would deserve the execrations of all posterity , &c . Mr . Allen , with almost unwonted energy , opposed the recommendations from the other side , to goon quietly , silently , Ac ., in the inquiries proposed through the resolutions of thesenator from Michigan . He defended the resolutions and the speech of the mover upon them in all its parts , notwithstanding the objections and complaints uttered against it today . From some general observations upon the exigency of thetimes—the character of the controversy —the condition of the public mind—the propriety of apublic discussion , Mr . Allen proceeded to review the late official diplomatic correspondence on the Oregon

      question , and the conclusion he assumed brought us to a dead stand . As to right , neither hy negotiations , nor by conventions , nor by the Executive , had Great Britain the right to a single inch of Oregon up to 51 deg . 40 min . Her claims were another thing—and all this difficulty had arisen from our deference to her claims , and not from any acknowledgment of her rights , &c , Mr . J . M . Clayton took up the subject of the Atlantic coast defences . The neglect ef Congress for fifteen or twenty years past , to put our seaboard fortifications in any state of tfficiency , was notorious . He represented the Delaware river and bay as in a dwadfuuv defenceless condition . Now . he said , he would jp for those resolution ?; whetUr there was
