British advocates are at work upon it in New
York, charging design to make war on Great
Britain on all the friends Of the Oregon bill. Mr..
Archer repeated the same thing in the Senate, for
which Mr.. Atchison, in his admirable speech,
(worthy Of the successor of Linn and the col.
league Of Benton,) called him to his feet, and re-.
ceired from him total disclaimer of offensive
mputatons. Mr.. flanagan rose to make an
American speech in answer to the British ha-
rangue OF Mr.. Choaie, and first addressed tho
chair; but :he chair gave the floor TO Mr.. Day.
ton, who moved the adjournment; and England's
champion goes unscathod until tomorrow. ...

lowing words. .-----7.---r1, ar- -r...00
Resolued, That the President Of the United
States DO requested to give notice to tho British
government that it is the desire of the govern.
ment OF the United States to annul and abrogato
the provisions Of the third article of the couyen.
ZION concluded between the government of the
United States OF America and his Britannia Ma.
lesty the King Of the United Kingdom of Great
Britain and Ireland, on the 2Oth October, 1918,
ana incehniteiy continued between the same par
ties, signed at London the 9th August, 1927.
Mr.. HANNEGAN considered himself bound
to return his Acknowledgements to tho honorable
senator from Now Jersey for his kind courtesy in
yielding the floor, to which he was entitled from
having occupied 1t on the adjournment on yester.
day evening. he would endeavor in his remarks
TO follow, as close as his recollection would ena.
Die him, the arguments used by the honorable and
distinguished senator from Massachusetts in his
very able speech Of yesterday which arguments,
Notwithstanding the admitted ability of the speak.
er and the gifted display of talent in which they
were clothed, resolved themselves into the fact,
:hat every foot-nay, every inch of the disputed
country, every patch of land or water within
AZ deg. 10 81 deg. 40 ms. parallel of north lati.
tude belonged to the United States but that the
United States must not dare to adopt the resolu.
tion lest, forsooth by doing so, she should offend
the majesty Of Great Britain. No matter though
the fact Is not disputed of right and title being ours
yet fearful Of giving offence, we are not even TO
give notice of an intention TO claim our own but
are meekly to await the pleasure of this mighty
power, now in possession of the WHOLE as to whe.
ther, IN the course of time, we may be permitted,
not to claim, but sue respectfully for leave to &C.
cupy part. The senator from Massachusetts
was not satisfied with the general form of the 70.
solution, and, in that, he agreed with him for he
would prefer seeing it in the form in which, If it
was referred to the Committee on Foreign Rela.
lions, he trusted it would be returned to the So.
nate-and that was in the form of Joint rosou.
ton. lie did not present himself to The Senate 10
speak OF the high and serious and las he thought)
theoretical interests SO forcbly dwet on by the Sc
nator from Massachusetts,, as depending on the
passage OF this resolution; but he would, as he
thought ie had right to do, speak Of the substan.
tial interests involved in i-not to one but to eve.
ry section Of the country. That senator set out
by expressing his great alarm at the course pro.
posed IN the remarks made by the honorable sena-
tor from Missouri. Alarm at what he would
ask. Alarm at this country giving notice OK
pressly provided for in the convention to which
she was contracting party, that the binding pow
ers of such convention should cease it IA sim.
p!o notice which, if he understood the honorable
senator correctly, was described by him as a de-
monstration OF hostility on our part towards Eng.
land. How could such construction he put on il
W hat was it moro than notice, which either
party might give, to annu simple contract en,er-
ed into by both, with full power, on such notice
given, for either side to break up? 1t would be
indeed a strange inconsistency if England assum-
ed tho right to go TO war for other reason than
the receiving such notice; and still stranger
would i, be, if, we were TO be deferred from de.
clarng determination to assert and maintain our
rights from fear of any power abroad. t
lie WIS surprised at the strain Of sarcasm and
irony which ran through the senator from Nlassa.
chuselts speech on yesterday. Hs regretted it,
as the object seemed to DO to create the mirth,
to which i. was addressed and he could not help
abiding to that genllemans ill-timed ridicule in
asking if we Of the West were ter rifed at the
dangers that would threaten US from the attacks
of 1000 undisciplined trappers, which, according
to him, was ali the force England had in the Ore.
gon country. He expected better from tina, ho-
norab!e senator, than sucha burlesque appeal, or,
more properly speaking, underhand attack on the
feelings OF great portion of his feow-citizens-
portion who, in devotion to their country, in
pure and unpolluted patriotism, viod with any
other portion of the Union. liza British peer had
by invitation been admitted on the floor Of that
chamber, and used such language, then he could
have appreciated it; but coming from memter
Of the body, he could only regret it. But he
would tell him, and tell tho world, the people Of
the West were not terrified they were not alarm
ed they knew not what terror, what alarm was.
