The expected eruption of Vesuvius took place to-
day IN the Senate Chamber. In other words, the
breach IN the democratic ranks, which has been
generating tor the last tive months on the Oregon
question, took place to-day, and the President was
denounced by the war party representing 81: 40, as
the basest Of traitors, if he intended TO make
treaty ON the 49rh parallel The frs, broadside took
place between Mr.. Haywood and Mr.. Hanneqan,
and the details will be found in the report Of this
days proceedings For the last two days Mr. Hay
wood has been making an able and cutting speech
in favor OF 70. He did not spare Mr.. Allen and the
war party hence the explosion which took place
today Mr. Polk is in almost like position with his
own party which Mr.. Tyler was towar Ids the wings
In the extra session of ls4l. The interest of the
debate has increased tenfold Next week will be
the great week. Mr.. Rsverdy Johnson has the
floor for Monday, and Webster, Calhoun, Benton,
and all the great men, have yet to speak.
Everything connected with our foreign relations,
is yet in state Of uncertainty, doubt and cenfu-
sion. This Oregon question may draw its slow
length along" in the Senate Chamber for month to
come. is the disorganized state of parties in this
Congress, that has created this state OF Confusion
between the Executive and legislative branches of
the Governments; and no one can tell but it will
produce the like state Of confusion, leading to war,
In our foreign relations; and throughout the civil
lized world, before it shall have terminated its In
fuences Since the interesting debate which took
place laa. week, before the SAILING OF the British
steamer, several speeches have been made on both
sides OF the question Judge Breese. Of illinois, q
very discreet, calm and sensible man, 10 ade capl-
tai speech on Monday, in favor Of the whole Of
Oregon down to 54 ~. In the course OF his re-
marks. he alluded to a principle Of negotiation.
which is rather novel in its arrsngeme nts
and which is believed by some to be now
In contemplation by the Executive. This plan
contemplates the settlement of the Oregon question
on the combined principle Of equivalents and money,
tor rights and territory. As the United States have
the best title to the whole Of the Oregon territory,
ii proposed to persist in that claim, with the whole
OF vancouvers Island; but, to give compensation, in
dollars and cents, to the British Government for the
REIMBURSEMENT OF their usufructory occupancy
the compensation to be determined upon either by
the parties themselves, by arbitration. 1t is pro-
babe that such treaty would meet with the sane
ton Of the extreme 81 40 section, in Congress;
BIZ; whether such views will be taken up by the
goyeianent remains to be seen.
MR. Dayton, of New Jersey, also made speech
taking sides with the peace party In favor OF COM
promise on the 49th parallel These speeches were
followed up yesterday and to-day, by Mr.. Haywood,
/ NJ Nopth IN a oo( vLc Oh -
ing in good and severe criticisms, and sharp
sarcasms the war democrats Hence the explo-
sion to-day.
This Oregon question has not only reached q
most important and controlling point the relations
of the United States and England, but also in the
movements and position of parties in this country.
The old parties OF wing and democrat appear to be
completely dsorganized on this question and
am very much inclined to believe this disorganiza-
iion will be permanent unless the Executive should
form treaty during the present session. Already
the war party" numbers about 8, 10, perhaps
Senators, who have ranged themselves against all
COMPROMISE, and claim down to 81 40, at all hazards
. The movements in Congress- which developed this
reconstruction Of parties, commenced under Gen.
Casss resolution offered early in the session. Tha,
resolution was a simple thing in itself-a mere
resolution OF inquiry into the state OF the
country. 1t was, however, accompanied with Sc
ries Of remarks prefgunng new view in the po-
siton and destiny Of the country, which had been
generated in the diplomatic experience of General
Cass while he held official connexon with the GO
vernment in the foreign relations OF the country.
That important speech opened up the question OF the
foreign relations OF the country, connected with
the question to which the resolution referred. 1t
was followed by eloquent harangues from other Sc
nators. Mr.. Allen, although occupying the impor
tant position OF chairman OF our Foreign Relations
could not resist the demands Of the crisis and he
came forth with series Of speeches which, how
ever much they may be deprecated by the peace
party, or rldicued in Wall street, will become un-
doubtedy 20 pular among the masses in the coun-
try. Mr. Allen was followed by MIR. Hannegan, of
Illinois, also in favor OF $40 His views were put
forward with great deal of popular eloquence and
force. Judge Breese, from the same Stale, as be-
fore observed followed in the same direction. and
the deveopement OF this new patry in reference to
the Oregon question, and founded on the extreme
claims to that territory, having brought the subject
before the counry,l the action OF Congressw have
every reason to expect, should the question not be
settled this session Of Congress- that it will have the
effect to increase their power and influence over the
II will be seen, therefore, that the "war" party in
Congress represents principally the North Western
States. One OF the Senators from New York, Mr..
Dickinson, who made very good speech, took the
ground OF 81 40 and one or two otheys, from New
England, are OF the same mind. The whole force of
the war party amounts to about eight ten in the
House they may havefory or fifty, This party
this new democratic pary-thIs movement party OF
the day-may be said to be now completely organic
ed and do not believe, they will recede from their
position an iota. They profess to represent the
opinions OF the President and his Cabinet; but the
"peace' men contradict this assumption, and con-
a ACCURACY. There q great deal OF private
debate going on amongst individuals, both in and
out of Congress, as TO whether the President will
accept any compromise on the 49th parallel; or
whether he will not be induced, from variety Of
hazards. II he should be brought to believe that
the war party have the great majority Of the coun
try with them upon the basis Of 81 40-and must
fess they have strong reasons for such beef-if
such conviction should reach the mind OF Mr.
Polk it Is doubted by many, whether he will ever
