OREGON
Mr. ALLEN, Of Ohio moved take up the bill from the
House Of Representatives for establishing Territorial Gov
eminent in the Territory Of Oregon
Mr.. CRITTENDEN opposed the motion, whose
would necessarily supcsedc all the important business
Of the session, which remained yet be completed, and
would require all the few remaining hours Of this The last
naming day. He remarked upon the zeal displayed by Mr.
A. in urging this measure He did not complain Of what
might be very proper ambition, and which induced gentle
to put himself forward and take conspicuous stand
champion of what he believed popular but would
the gentleman expect that because he himself
y nf h...
fold into measure OF this great Importance and push through
the last day Of the session the utter sacrifice Of all other
business country The Senator could not know that if
that bill now to be taken up and discussed all other bills
which had been maturcd, and now only awaited the final
ton of the Senate fail and the Government to
stand still for want of the requisite appropriations to carry on
Mr. ALLEN said he referred himself to the appreciation Of
his own constituency tribunal to him far above the udg
ment OF the Senate, of any particular SENATOR upon his
conducts and he was ready to take the responsibility OF pro-
noting according his views Of his duty, the best and
highest interests of the county The Senator might rest
sured that Mr. A.. side of the Chamber there hearts
stout enough to encounter any results that might from
the measures they proposed Should the bill be taken up
they desired to waste time upon the will of the People
well known and the action of the other House, and the
recommendation Of the Executive all ooncurred in evincng
what was the public will in this matter They wanted to vote
and not to talk about it. They willing stand by the
responsibility of making this motion gentlemen the other
side must abide by the responsibility Of opposing il for let it
be remembered that there was responsibility on both sides
and he held that of resisting such this TO be far
greater than that OF endangeng the bills which lay behind it.
Mr.. WOODBURY. said this was a practical question ; and
should be looked at dispasonatey The business before
the Committee on Finance was he believed, in
state of advancement usual this stage Of the session Mr.
W. friendly TO the Oregon Bill, and wished to be taken
up at least for limited time This he presumed might be
done without necessarily sacrificing important business Of
Their kind He would sacrifice neither branch of the pub
lie business the other He thought there good OPP
pouny TO consider this bill while Of the appropriation
bills were being perfected in committee.
Mr. HUNTINGTON demonstrated against the course Of
Mr. ALLEN, and considered most extraordinary that at
time like this, within twelve hours of the termination Of this
session and Of the present Congress- Of this magn
ude should be called up As to the fact that the other
House had passed the BILL and the President had recommend
ed the measure, he would ask had the Senate nothing
in the matter The taking up this bill would interrupt all
other business How could the committees still having
finished business before them, mature any thing while their
members sitting here debating and voting open Senate
After further remarks from Mr. EVANS and Mr.
WOODBURY., the question taken on Mr.. ALLEN's
