mover Of these resolutions made on Monday He
regarded his remarks as an assurance from high
authority, that we may took upon war as almost IN
evita6le Indeed as far as the Senator could make
tit was declaration Of war-not presently
but certainly coming.
Mr.. Cas-. rose to explsin---he did not state that
war was inevitable; but he did state that If Eng
land persisted in her claim. after the years notice
was given war would follow.
! Mr.. Cftienden could not see that the expana-
ton helped the matter much.

war was absolutely inevitable bat that if after the

was grsti6ed to hear Mr.. Cass say that his mean

To insist on the whole of the Oregon territory, we
must have war" This he (Mr Crittenden) con

marks on Monday, that Inevitable.
| You may well imagine the exciting interest
which every where pervaded The Senate Chamber,
during this catechetcal examination.
| Mr.. Crittenden concluded his speech with ex-
pressing bis opinion, that there wouid Be no war.
/ He could not believe that could take place be
tween Two such nations IS England and the United
Statrs But il il comes-let II come--aud he had
no doubt the whole nation would be found united
aud allied like one man around our national ban
ner. He wished every thing done with care and
caution not rashy and in hurry. 1t we are

Mr Webster followed Mr Cd,tenden in a short
bat very able speech. He occupied very much the
same grounds He deprecated the remarks made
yesterday by the Senator from Michigan, as they
were calculated to produce unnecessary ala m
which was always Injurious TO the business and
commerce Of the county. He did not think from
the Message thatthe President had any apprehen-
sion of war, as he (Mt. W. oertans had not -
Mr.. ". would vote Cor the resolutions but at the
same time " ould invoke Senators that while they
did every thing that was necessary Tor the protec-
ton honor aud integrity ofthe County. 'hst they
should avoid creating any unnecessary alarm.
Dir. SEWER Of Ark followed and declared it es

reasons for thinking so--one was that Great Bn-

to reeede-and secondly that it was by bullying
that she had secured for herself the respect OF all
Europe But we had given her Two lessons. and
if she did not peaceful y recede with the best grace
she could now form her position, she might receive
