GOTH coNeREss--r1Hsr SESSION
THE OREGON QUESTION,

Monday and Tuesday the 18th and 10th, were
days of deep interest in Congress. Ne had thought
that the Oregon question would not come before
that body until after the Christmas Holy days Nor
did it come up regularly. 1t has, however, at this
early stage of the session. come up incidentally
On tho 18th, Gen. Cass, Senator from Michigan,
introduced the following resolutions
ReSOlred, That the Committee on Naval AZ
fairs be instructed to inquire into the condition Of
the navy OF the United States, and into the guam
tty and condition of the naval supplies now on
hand; and whether an increase o. them is not ne
eessary to the efficient operations of the navy and
TO its preservation and augmentation; and gem
orally, into its capacity for defending our coast and
Our commerce, and for any service the exigtnces
OF the country may probably require.
RGSekUed, That the Comm ttec on Military At
fairs be Instructed to inquire into the condition OF
the national Notifications and their ornaments, and
whether other defensive works are necessary; and
into the condition and quantity of the military sup
Plies; and into the state Of the means possessed by
the government for the defence Of the country.
RcSoLUe6, That the Committee on the Militic
be Instructed to inquire into the present condition
Of that great branch of the public service and int
TIE state Of the MALTA laws, and that they he fur
thcr instructed TO report such changes in the exs
ting system will give moro experience and cf
hclency to that arm of defence, and will place it If
the best condition for protecting the country should
il be exposed to foreign evasion.
These resolutions, in themselves, have nothin.
on the face of them to create any alarm in tn
popular mind. Indeed they are such as might b
introduced with propriety at any time, even whcl
our relations With the whole world might be ofth
most peaceful nature. 1t is the discussion whic
they gave rise to during the two days they wer
pending before the Senate, which makes the prc
oeedings of those two days so deeply interesting.
moving the resolutions Mr.. Cass made a sgeec
Of considerable length in which he reviewed tn
present state of the relations now existing betwec
the United States and England on the Orego
question-eloqnently urging on Congress the nj
cessity of augmenting our national defences eli

CHRISTMAS.

AS we intimated in our last number, the
Journal will be issued on this morning instead
of our usual day, in order that our hands may
be enabled to enjoy the Christmas festival. :
And now, dear reader, from our hearts do
we wish that the old rhyme,
christmas comes but once year,
And when it comes, it brings good cheer, !"
may be verified to each and every one of you.
May peace and plenty preside at every board.
and may JOY and gladness reign supreme in
every heart. on this festive day.
Like the green shady spots, which the tray-
oller, over the deserts of the Torrid Zone, oc-
easionally meets with, in his long and toll
some journey, does this welcome HOLIDAY
come over the chickering's and turmoils of life.
1t comes, bringing in its train the bright recol-
lection of joyous scenes and merry faces of
other days. On this day, a: least, the sordid
passions of our nature should be laid aside.
Whatever Of ''envy. hatred, or malice" may
have been engendered by our collisions with
this cold and selfish world, should be laid a.
side on tie annual return of this time honored
festival, and universal friendship, love, and
charity, should take possession Of every heart.
This IS bright day in the family CIRCLE
The child who has been separated from the
home Of his youth, during the past year, on
this day returns TO bask once more in the sun
shine of parental love-to mingle once more
in ,boY fbob ol
feelings of his nature were warmed into life
On this day, too, friends long separated, meet
to while away an hour oblivious Of care, il
sweet and happy "reminiscences Of by-gone
scenes and by-gone events. What recclec
lions does the annual return Of this day CAL
up! How many are there who, amidst THEN
rejoicing on this day, in looking along the
track Of the past, have to mingle With theI1
joys the feelings of regret for some bright iinl
which has dropped from their circle Of hoppi
mesa during the past year-some dear frient
or relation who graced the festive board wheI
''Iast they met" but whose chair now stand
cold and vacant-whose bright face and wei
come smile has gone forever. On the he
hand, how many are there, and we hope b,
far the largest number, who look back upol
the past, and rejoice that the clouds of gloon
and doubt which hung over their horzo
twelve months ago, are dssipated and gone
and who, with the happy feelings incident +
the day, can Unite deep and holy gratitud
TO the ''giver Of all good gifts for the brig,
sunshine which this day takes place, OF tn
dark shades Of adversely which lowered owe
the past.
To youth, this is peculiarly season of ju
bilce and mirth. Tie school room, The birch
and the black board arc all forgotten, and FL
and frolic, squibs and sky-rockets, fill thei
places.
To all, the young and the old, the rich an
the poor, may the advent of this day bring 10
and happiness.

Mer;can Indemnity We find in the New
York Tribune letter from Gen. Santi Ana to
Charles Callaghan, Esq, merchant of that city,
which contains the following passages respecting
the missing Mexican instruments:
HAVANA, 10Th Nov. ls45.
The mstalments were most punctually paid in
ready cash, during the time was at the head of
Government. But, as on the 3Oth of April Of last
year, had withdrawn from public business and
retired to my farms. and as both the Constitution,
and by character did not allow the President to
mingle in public affairs during absence, confined
myself to recommending the payment TO the Presi.
dent pro tempore, Geu. Valenlin Canalizo, and TO
the Minister of Finance, Don Ignacio I'rigueros;
and when the other instament of July 80, of which
you speak, expired, having then resumed my func-
tIons | dictated all the necessary measures, and
positively ordered the Secretary Of the Treasury
to make the payment in specie according to my
anterior provisions; that, if in defiance of my
ORDERS the payment was made in bills DRIFTS, that
functionary Violated his duties by disobeying my
commands and the agent Don Emilio Voss not,
less gIiltS%in receiving as he received, according to
what yon say, the amount in paper. At the same
period1 dictated, in advance ether orders for the
payment of the successive instalments with all ex.
actltude, and in ready cash; for the people having
contributed it in cash, resolved and ordered that
the money should not be employed for any other
purpose: and my conversation with the Minister
Shannop, which you mention, alludes to this. %

The Weather.-Wnter has set real dowr
right earnest. During the past week We have
had colder weather than at any period fol
wears past. On Saturday last we had the
wind from the north bringing swith-italigh'
fall of snow, scarcely enough toawhiten. the
ground. Sunday and Monday were intensely
cold. So cold that water poured on the pave
ment turned TO ice almost instantaneonsIy.-
Since then the air has gradually moderated
and to-day we have "a moderate fall of rain, al
though still cold.

MEXICAN RELATIONS.

The Baltimore american states as follows
the basis on which 1t is proposed to settle our
differences with Mexico.
Merico and The United &ates.-The renewal
of diplomatic relations between this country
and Mexico has, according TO letters from We.
ra Cruz, been accompanied with propositions
on our part for a settlement Of the boundary
question IN the following naanner.
The United States to pay an indemn;iea.
ton ola or S., 900, 600: their boundary line 10
be the Rio Bravo del Nor.e, including part of
the States Of Tamaulipas, Cohahuila, Chihua-
hua, and New Mexico, together with the CITY
Santa Fee. The Vera Cruzano gives the fol-
lowing statement of the loss Of territory by
Mexico under such an arrangement. The
whole of Texas-2l 900 square leagues; Chi.
huahua- out of 2l,526 SO. leagues, she will
lose 5000; New Mexico-seut of 1000 do,
she will lose 5000; Cohahuila-out of G. 500
do. she will lose l,l75; Tamsullpas-ou, Of
6.4OO do, she will lose 1890. Total loss,
34.O75 square leagues.
The writer of the letters from Vera Cruz
does not believe that the Mexican Government
will accede to such proposition, a, least not
for so small an Naturalization as or S..
100000. It's also stated by the same author.
ily, that propositions have also been made for
the acquisition Of New California. The boun.
daries would be-the River Ola, which unites
with the Colorado near its mouth, and empties
into the Gulf of California. This stream runs
almost due West from the Rocky Mountains,
through the State of Sonora. This acquisition
of territory would give Us the harbors of San
Francisco, Monterey, and San Pedro.

Passage Of the 1tras Rcsolutions-Thc great
length to which the interesting proceedings in the
Senate in this evenings paper. prevent Us from
Iexpatiating upon tie passage of the resolutions
through the House of Representatives for appro.
wing of the constitution of Texas, and admitting
her into the bosom of our republic. We conerat
ua,e our country upon its passage. An angry, an
irritating, and an unnecessary debate was proven.
ted by the previous question, called by Mr. Nee on.
NELL 1t was supported by the House; aud then the
resolutions were uiumphantly passed by vote OF
l4l to Sc. We rejoice in the success of the mea
sure, which accelerates the time when the two
senators and the two representatives of the young
State shall occupy their seats in both branches, and
participate in the proceedings in which they are SC
much interested with the other States.
/ The resolutions were reported Immediately to the
Senate, and referred to the Judiciary Committee.
