culation by the Senate of the Presidents message,
and SO much of the accompanying documents as re-
ates to the Oregon question. This motion clearly
exhibits the unqualified ground which Mr.. Allen
will continue TO occupy IN relation TO Oregon as
Chairman on Foreign Relations; as we have not d
doubt of his continuance at the head OF this Com
mtee, Mr.. Allen will go TO the full extent of the
Presidents mmendatons-merglng all ques-
ons OF mere policy IN the paramount question of
South Carolina will pursue middle course, steering
clear OF war on the one hand, and of an unpopular
compromise on the other. We think this will be
the policy OF Mr.. Calhoun, and, mark you, it will
prevail
