j. S. SENATE ON THE OR
ECON NOTICE.


|s{tsr Mr.. Crittenden had closed his
Lsch. Mr.. Webster addressed the Senate:
|1icksburg Wig.
|gIr I'M WEBSTER said that he most cordial
|cgucurred in the sentiment so beautl
\ Expressed by The honorable Senator
N had taken his seat. He did not dit
from him hairs breadth in the
|ncipIes he had laid down, nor in his
ME- Of propriety in regard to the pres
|debaie. Mr.. WIS purpose had mere
been 10 ascertain whether the question
|bu debated could not be put in a more
|genient form than that which II as
|aed at present. Mr.. w. felt more
|8nply perhaps, than the Senator from
|aspcky the evils which he had refer
H. Because he lived IN the very midst OF
|Spd Witnessed from day to day the great
|I6un, of injury sustained by the com
|Sl6sal interests of this country from the
nj posture OF affairs.
W. would add Il few more words.
||6HiI vote, said he, for both portions Of
II amendmen, suggested by The senator
hill Georgia, (Mr. CoIquit) | am pre-.
|fa1 to do so.
N0w, without meaning at this time to
| ia any sort of examination OF the
|uFse of the Executive in this matter, or
|dnIgng in any remark expressive OF
! nnlriendly feeling towards the admin
|faiion 10 embarrass the Government
+ feel nothing Of the kind, and nothing
! Iar,her from my attentlon--l must
HI be permitted to say that the existing
|stnre of affairs is such as to render /
|ilo desirable that we should know what
HE opinion OF the Executive in regard
This measure Of notice and It's conse
|apces. No body doubts that the two
buses Of Congress have a perfect au
|afisy to terminate the Oregon conVen
Hill without offence to any body, because
Hi IS our specified right, and It's exercise
HI present no just cause of complaint II
M quarter. But, though this is an un
|Mbied position, yet it must be consIdere'
connection with the circumstance
|Bsch have been made to surround 1t
|Ne resolution of notice has passed tn
|NAr House with qualification, or add
BIZ. or by whatever name II should be
Lied, which changes in some respec
|pln being a mere nouce OF termination
ZONES with that qualification or condl
Lin here. Other propositions are ohere'
|the Senate, and are entertained as II
Meets Of consideration.
|Thc Senator from Kentucky, IN on
In Of his soeech, says that he viii leave
In entire responsibility OF this who'll
Entroyersy where the constitution ha
|aced il. and contends that those VIII
Iva the power TO conduct the foreign dc
|Iomacy of the country and TO the wor'l
Ia the manner 10 which they shall eXef
n that power. This is certainly yer.
II hut it raises a doubt whether W
kpht TO do more than SIMPLY TO give, o
refuse 10 give, the naked notice bu
lme modification Of the mere NAKED n'
u has been made already IN the o'he
|souse; and there is, as believe, a COZ
|clIon on the part OF large majority {
II Senate that it should, to a certain ca
BIT, be qualified Nov, hold that VI VI
If these circumstances, we nave r'9'
know in what point OF view the EHec'
Ne himself regards this notice; wna' al
he ends he has in view, and what are Il
nscquences to which IN the judgment
be Executive, this notice lslo lead
With speaking on this subject some 5
FeeKs ago, said it was most obvious IN
Pie President could not expect war;
8ause he did not act as the Chief Nag
ale Of such a nation must be exPect'
b act, if charged as he was with the
ence OF the country, he expected a
anger Of its being assaulted by the M
urmidable power upon earth SUI ;
