 Sir, the honorable senator n9 froa sey has urged other objections settlement of Oregon, which are sa sectional character. The poliev s,. sure, in his judgment, is obiecds cause it opens new channels to ~ and is calculated to draw off the naa the old settlements of the old Sts,rs, to diminish the value of landed n,,' the old States, and to raise the T.s r Dor, by lessening competition fd3 lastly, by diminishing the political the old States. These views arc r. me. I have heard them often befa,, heard them at every session of Coa which, in my time, we acted upoo lie land bill, in which there was az. for pre-emption, or an effort madss, the price of the public lands. Pr.l laws or graduation laws have eyer nounced by those gentlemen as unn, ties out of the public treasury in h the new States, at the expense of 6. A preponderance of such views q, the halls of Congress has given la utes, prohibiting a settlement upon5, lie lands; to suits of trespass agaDas tiers; to military interference; to h button bill, and other stringent me9l the vain hope of checking enignts retarding the growth and settlemen western country. Freeholders. m mongers, and manufacturers, are td91 is their interestto have labor chean !, estate high and therefore, they, of ll CTS, should discountenance emignta| the acquisition of any more teritor providing for the settlement of that M have. Aspiring ambition is told that 1 ton affects political, sectional pove they would have things stationary ,1 chances for promotion not diminisBd| too, should throw obstacles in the 5 occupation.

 Sir, the senator from New JeN MILLERl also told us that it had bee ascertained, by some philanthropi that civilization could not travel bu teen miles per annum; and, of coas tension of our settlements at a gre | than seventeen miles a year would 1 those who had been civilized before
 MT. MILLER here explained that ence to the cultivation of 0rregan said that improvements advanced bu teen miles a year. He did not speal advance of civilization
 Very well sir 1 accept the geI explanation with pleasure; and thnl about as much truth in the calculai respect as in the other. The honor tleman intimates to the fanatics-wl and I, sir, alike despise-that thel oppose an extension of the empire; l if Oregon is colonized, Texas and will follow.
 Allow me, sir, in conclusion, tor l the resolution now under consident discourteous to the British governn not disrespectful to the President o ted States; nor IS 1t unnecessary or inc hold that the territory of Oregon ! poor as 1t has been represented to l that the interests of the whole Uni be greatly benfted by its occupation tlement; and for these reasons, al king what appears to me to be the towards the'ultimate object of set country.
