IL was coniagious. He became a warrior himself, and parteularly as tbcy had been told they had nol q gnn on the i5elaWare-no army-no navy. He was on the eve of taking to his heels. But look. ed round and he saw the senator fron, Mis- solrl, MT. BgSTos,l Of whom il miVbt be sad, as was said of Casar that he ..ls the twin brother of danger, and of the two the eldef and more terfible.n His appearance reassufed him, and he fMr. S.l then got ashamed oi himself, and aIlowed the Cambria to satt without carrying anything out of what the Senate inlelnletl ta do. Then came the recommendation fo build few war steamers. But that iinle storm had alec passed away. Some senators onnosed tbe nouee because thev did not deem il to be necessary lie thought otherwise His oPihion was founded on his knowedee of hts coanirymen. They had become excited on the subject He saw .no symptoms of Welding on either slde--one standing on the Hvef and the other on i9e-people of both countries excited. In that prospect, lhe probability appeared 10 him that they would have war. So he thought when he first read tue Presidents message. Who was tp gtFe mp: 'fhe question must be settled. and that before the elections take place, or is settlement will be impossible But the war Ike aspect had nothing to do with the notice. Retlee or 10 notice the question still had the same complexion. Nations had ffe- qaently to fight on comparatively trilmg questions, So t WIS with the war of of the revelation, for Il few eents of duty on ten. so Il was with the last war, for the impress. ment oia few American eeamen. Oregon. trlilng or not, would not be surrendered. even at the hazard of war He was opposed to war So were his constituents. But all It's iheonslenee, they would meet rather than lose Oregon. He had not much fear of their losing Oregon. Al all events, itnever would he les.i together wih the national honor. l. they were 10 be overthrown, he fhir. S1 trusted Ii would be with their feet in the stifup, and with thelr faces turned toward the enemy. But, as he sad, he was uot so certain that they were going to lose Oregon. Notwithstanding the declarations about the desolalion of NIT, without auy boosting, he could say that, in nnefY days, theY could raise an army as great as that which Napn- leeii led to Moscow. They eaee guns so u. cir children for playthings. They were q Warlike people. But he wanted no war for Oregon, or anything else, if they coHld help it Let war be avoided, by settling lhe cues ton if they eould--by adopting the recon mendations of the President and abiding by the confidiug in his ability, talents, and political principles. Il was true he was no military ehieftain, but Ire was Il true pa triet. He was an humble Christian, too il man et fortune, and under all considerations opposed to war, needlcssly incurred. His whole past career was the best evidence ol hls integrity, purity, and patriotism. The short !ern oi his ofee--and he was no can citate for re-eiection-the tcrfors Of ini- Peachment-the examples of lis rredeees- sors--all eonspiHed to inspire confidence ill lis conduct, Possessed of all these seen. rites, could they hesitate in aiding him in tiIe avoidance of calamity they all aepgeca- ted r Would they defer action fill the mo. ment when that action would be unaeaIing They hesitated because the President, in his inaugural, asserted the right of the Unlet States 10 the whole of. Oregon, and ye, after wards offered 10 settle on 49e. That anani festea a suspicion unworthy of them and c the Executive.
 Reference had been made 10 the action o the Baltimore convention. He had taken 1 part ia tle proceedings of that body, allho 1 the present Executive was not his first choice ] But he wonid not go into tiat matter, iurtll- CT than 10 say that in his opinion nothing i had been done by that convention to pre- vent ihe President from settling inc question if he eoulsl, by negotiation. Of that nego- taion. the Senate would judge al the prep CT time. He had now nearly aaid ali thai he intended 10 offer. He deprecated war - l He hoped that there would be no war--thai the President would be Jeff untrammelled- and that he would be enabled to avoid war 4 war would, il | was true, be very disas
 troas 10 the United States But il waHId bt the same to Great Britain, and she, he be. lieyed, was mol disposed 10 oYeIlooli tha consideration. Her people like those of tht Gliltb t2ltilts1 iiNttl by itiDpis shed by their commerce. To her il was perhaps, fully as desirably as it was 10 tbt United States, that this question should bt settled amicably, and settled soon. He wa: ready to confess that he had no particular parlialily to Great Britain. He had, perhaps inherited prejudiees against her But still i if she would settle, wih liberahty and jus
 ice, this question, and so establish peace between the two countries, he would be ont of the first to forget llle past of both wars-- her unjust diplomacy would do all il ! his power 10 cultivate with her the mos amicable relations hencelorih and foreyer.- l lie asked DO layors al her hands. Ali h. asked was justice and liherality. and the ex
 ereise of manly spirit. If Great Britain
 evineed such such disposition, and acte
 in that manner, she would be met in th
 same way-ancient differences would be fof I gotten, and peace would shed it's happy in l luences over the relations and intefconrs
 of these two great and powerful nations the earth.
