THE UNION.
CITY OF wAsntNcr TON.
TUESDAY NIGHT, DECEMBER 90, 1s4s.
REVOLUTIONS BEFORE THE SENATE.

An interesting debate took place in the Senate of
the United States to-day, en- the resolutions touch
Ing Oregon which were submitted by Mr.. Hanne-
gan yesterday, and a substitute proposed by Mr..
Calhoun to-day In our preceding columns is
sketch of this debate. We were not fortunate
enough to hear the whole of it, nor have we been
able to run over the report of it, but from that por
ton of II which We were able to CATCH as well as
from the character of the resolutions themselves we
should concur with the Senate in the disposition
which was runde of them. They were laid upon
tho table

doubts Determined and absolute positiyeness will
be shaken by the happy unanimi,y with which the
propositions of General Cass have beeH received in
the Senate-that senior branch of the national rep
resentaiion, on whose wisdom and moderation con-
ciliatory spirits rely The necessity ola compro-
mise more liberal than that which has been offered
as an utmatum will be tacty, il not publicly, ae-
knowledged and diplomacy will yet succeed in
dividing this apple Of discord, But the United
States will have the larger portion. Such will be,
as We hope, the end Of this political enlargement
which will cease to present only melo-dramatc cen
fusion, when the clear and explicit exposition
which has been given shall be universally known.

-tSuoder fuMng
We quote from the New York Herald. an anu.
siaG description Of the Fancy Ball At Newport,
ON the 10th, where Fashion ION the soil of the
stern Puritans Of the 18th century, seems to be
more extravagant thaneven at Saratoga, and ex-
pect to hear in few days from the Tournament
At the Fauquier Sprngs-a futile attempt (as 1t
must prove) to revive the customs and amusements
of q frosher and Drawer age.
We have on hand INTENDED VIC presume TO be
ready to meet the Fauquier display, and to turn
tho laugh against it, dramatic representation of
the "Gandcr Pulling at Ganderscleugh. in the
county of Mecklenburg: So let the Eauquicr
knights beware how they deport themselves.
- En- passenf. We hear that the noble sport of
aGander Pulling" still actually survives IN some
Of the counties bordering ON North Carolina
probably Mecklenburg, Halifax, or Brunswick
all three Democratic TO the backbone. We
should be glad to hear from some correspondent
in that quarter to the fact, well as to receive
q description Of that heroic pas,ime. We have
seen through life but one person who had ever
witnessed the exhibition He spoke Of it as the
most entertaining he had ever boon at; and al
though he was but spectator, he could not refer
to it without the most extravagant mirth. The
Gander il seems, is swung up by his legs to the
limb Of a tree, or a cross-beam little higher
than man on horseback clear track is made
of SO yards for the knights to run the tilt their
right hand as well as the gander's neck is elabo-
rately soaped, and one at time, all who enter
the lists as champions, ride furiously at the gan
der, and give him pull as they pass This must
be done at full speed, and the Knight has splen-
did opportunity of exhibiting his horsemanship TO
the admiration Of ladies and minstres, in reach
ing up at the gander, and giving him well plant
ed pull in full career without losing his stirrups.
Such n Knight questionless would be received
with such demonstrations as greeted Wiired of
Ivanhoe, in the "Gentle Passage Of Arms at
Ashby de Ia Zouche.' The actual triumph and
glory of the day and field are awarded by the
Queen Of the Tournament to him who succeeds in
pulling off the gander's head. This is no such
easy feat as some may think il. If the gander be
old and well selected it is very difficult feat, and
ought to be rewarded with all sorts of wavings of
ladies' handkercheis, and minstrel celebration.
The friend who gave US all the information we
have about the game, said that at the Pulling he
Witnessed, there fifteen entries, and not less
than l4O rounds at the gander before the sport
was concluded by his deca agitation, during which
time he said he believed he laughed more than he
had ever done in his life before. He could not
help feeling for the gander, who began to fiutter
the moment the drum tapped for a start, but except
for this humane regret, he never had day OF
such unbounded mirth and enjoyment.
