This brief discussion pSo,hsecs deep impress
sion in the Senate, and on all who heard il; part
cularly the remarks Of MI. Webster, which wer
delivered with grca. sOlemnity and dehberatiOn.
On Tuesday, Mr.. Cas- delivered speech &
near three hours in length, upon the general que'
ton, sindcaling our title to the whoe Of Oregon.
In the course Of his remarks he referred to III
treaty Of Utrecht maintaining that the cOmmiss'
ries appointed under it bad never acted upon Il
subject, and that the limits bstweeu the BIRTHS
/ and French possessions in North America had m
yer been established. He laid so much stress VI
4 on this fact % to make his future conduct upo
!. the Oregon question dependent upon il, and wa
understood to say that il ii should be made to Al
pear thafthe commissaries had acted and establis
u ed the parallel of 400, he would give up the Ru
y sianlhne Of 5is 40, and never say any thing mo
. about Oregon nxth Of 490.
On "Wednesday Mr.. Benton replied To Mr.. Cas-
producing long array Of testimony, and mar
! interesting facts, which appear to show e0scl
siyely that commissaies were appointed under d
-. treaty Of Utrecht, and executed the stipulation
!. establishing the boundaries proposed VII. 18th
Q they fixed the northern boundary Of Canada al
n Louisiana by line beginning in the Atlantic,
II "a cape or promontory in $50 so north latitud
" thence, enthusiastically, to the Lake Mistasi
thence, farther southwest, to the latitude Of 4!
o mort til from the equator, and along that line i
e definitely"
% On Thursday Mr.. Cass endeavored to rccov
" his ground, denying that the observations Of N
- Benton had any application to the Oregon que
" ton, or that the treaty of Utrecht even admittil
" that it established the boundary line of 40, h;
a any relation to the territory Jeyond the Rocl
"A Mountain.
10 Mr. Benton's rejoinder was brief, but strong
HI facts and arguments, proving the relevancy a
a, the bearing Of his former observations upon t
lie question now before the Senate, and supporti
Of them by additional testimony. He clearly show
10 that Mr.. jefferson was for the adoption Of
at line of 49o to the entire ertent, carried on TO
10 Pacific Ocean: and that this also was the op
ie ion of Mt. Madison and Mr.. Monroe
" The discussion which has been going on in I
y Senate fer some time psss has lad very sersl
" effect upon the whole of Oregon" party; but
turn which it has within the last few days appe'
~ to have almost annihilated il. To use the fig,
a, quoted by Mr.. Benton, suggested to the poet
n. the loag-waisted gowns and tight stays of o
ne grandmothers, the fifty-four forty" party is
of coming small by degrees and beautifully less.
