submitted by him relative to the condition of the
Army and Navy. The resolutions having been
read Mr. Cass sustained them in speech Of some
length, in which he took occasion to state his
conviction that ar important crisis is approach.
ing, and that the danger of war is imminent. The
claims Of the two nations, he said, are irreconci.
liable. War is a great calamity and should be
avoided-but there is greater calamity even
than war, that is, national dshono-. The pre-.
tentions Of the two countries are such that there
is no common ground on which we can meet
Shall we recede NO, Mr.. President, such
thing is not to be Thought Of
If the last proposition Of England be her uhi-
nahum have no hesitation in saying that it is
equivalent to declaration of war, and that hos.
tities must commence upon the termination of
the years notioe.--Danger can neither be aver.
ted ner avoided by indifference. Let US then
look oar difficulties boldly in the face hesi.
tate not to declare that the only way to avert
war is to unite with al! the energy God has gi-
ven US, in public determination to carry it on
with vigor. Mr.. c. quoted largely from the
speech of Lord John Russell in the House ofCcm.
mons on the 4h April last, to show the little pro.
liability that existed that England will recede
from the position she has taken on this question.

sed perfect coincidence Of opinion with the Ex-
ecutive, but he certainly took very strange way
Of showing it. Mr.. NJ. said that he had an honest
confidence il, the President of the T. States on
thi. question, and was willing TO leave the mat.

1t was the proper duty Of the Committees pro.

action of the Senate. When the Executive cal

he acted would be ready TO go as far as the far.
thest in supporting ali measures necessary for the
defence of the country-but ne wanted If an in.
creas, ot the military and naval force is asked
for, that the requisition should come from the
President who alone was responsible, and not
from any subordinate branch of the government,
Mr.. Mangum concluded by moving that the
solutions be laid over until tomorrow, which
motion was lost.

from North Carolina, and in support OF the reso.
lutions.

Sarah laughed outright.
"What can you mean, Sarah'" asked Mar

81 mesn," she replied. "that when a man
finds his house in disorder and wants somebody
to put it to rights, he calls this love; when he
is salone, too, and things don't go pleasantly, and
wants somebody to complain to and fnd fault
with, and lay the blame upon, he call this love.
When no one cares for him, and gets put down
in society, and wants tn bind himself for life to
some being who will hatter him and admire
his very faults, this too he calls love. Mans
love iDdeed!''
