delences, the Navy, &c. lie accOmps-
MED hls mollon with some remarks IN re-
ference to the Oregon question, and the
danger OF a IMPURE with Great Brllsin in
regard TO it /; and asserted that an inquiry
into our situation for meeting the shock Of
hosulities, was rendered Necessary by lhs
menacing stale Of The negotiations between
cur government ana thai of Great Britain.
On Two different days,he Resolutions were
opposed by the Wing leaders in tho Senate
as unnecessary, ilIlimed and injudicious
Nr, Archer, Mr.. CriUendsn, Mr.. Mangum
and Daniel Webster, oil made speeches
aud all thought it was gTeaI pity that
Gen. CJss had introduced them, and tried
TO EduCe the Senate 10 decline or defer ac.
ton upon them. They we're supported by
Mr.. Allen Of Ohio, Mr.. Sewer and others.
The wings were finally brought u2 to the
mark, and when the vote was ,aken,il stood
AZ in favor Of the moiion-a amaniMOus
vote Even Webster who made the anti
American speech al Boston lalsy voting in
favor OF the Resolution, The truth is the
Wing leaders dare not vote against propO.
sitlens tending TO asser! and maintain A.
neric an rights in Oregon. Public opinion
is too snong 10 be directly opposed, and
the American people will pronounce a fear.
ful condemnation upon those who venture
10 show tho white feather, when The inter
ssts Of the Country are a. stake. The last
war taught Federalism a lesson il will no.
soon forget. II was then rebuked effect
ial ly; and Democracy proved It's ability to
rush treason at hone, as well as TO repel
nyision from abroad, Hsr ford Conyen-
ions were as powerlsss Tor evils were the
,ayouets Of Packenham a, New Orleans -
Over both sedltl0n and invasion, the Demo.
cratic administration Of James Madison sig.
na!ly and gloriously lriumphed. The Fed.
eral leaders of Tho present day, are instruct,
ed by the past, and will not bs in a hurry
10 repeat, openly az least, the experiment of
opposing the vndlcaliou OF American rights
and American honor. And so even Webs,
Stsr, who gave away part of our territory
in Maine 10 England, and who argued
galnsl American rights in Oregon in his
lsle speech a. Boston, is forced agains! his
wishes, to vote righ! in the Senate of
tho United States. Mr. Mangum's
speech wa, The least Objectionable
one made on the Wing side, and 1T was a
queer mixture Of good and evil, sense and
folly. Perhaps by HE time no makes an
other speech he will gel his ideas straight
,ned. and be an American Democrat in fact,
Is he partly seems 10 be in intention, and
Is he was in his brighter and better days
We see by quotations from Tho EngIgh
newspapers that they are highly delighted
with WebS'er'S Boston speech. There is
loI man in the United States as popular in |
England as DarieI Webster His donation
o them Of that slice Of Maine made them
lis frieEds for life, But Heaven be praised |
lanes Buchanan and not Daniel Webster !
5 row Secretary Of State, and so EngIanG
lesd not expect any further donations of
American territory
