Mr. Davis. of Ky., was tempted to ask Mr.
Douglass, as one of the standard bearers of the
nsw democratic c-eed,-new because, as Mr. ID.
| says, it was not always heterodox to defend
bank and advocate The protective policy; and
new, also cause the creed was written out at
the Baltimore Convention,-what he meant by
the re. occupation OF Oregon, and what the Bal
tlmore Convention meant by the same resolu-
! ton!
MIR Douglas answered not with the frankness
| of man, nor the intelligence of a statesman,
but with all the art and caution OF hIred poll
| tician, that by the re'occupat'on OF oregon ne

Mr. Calhoun addressed the Senate for an hour
and half, in most interesting manner, upon
, the Oregon question. lie does not now consid.
er the notice matter of Importance ; for it no
: longer assumes that the question cannot be set
tied by compromise. lie considers the question
as having undergone change since the dis.
, cussion Of it was commenced, and the position
of the Senate and of the President was changed
in regard to it. 1t was no longer question Of
c peace or war, because it was no longer TO be
{ considered that there could be no compromise
q lie viewed the remarks of Sir Robert Pee! as a
i proof that the British government was ready &c
NEE: us substantial upon our own proposition
: Of 40. I, was the duty OF this government tc
take a step TO meet the overture He presumed
=, that it had been done. Moreover, the whole
!, public of boil, countries called for compromise
. and The Senate was for compromise.
$ Mr. Calhoun made an admirable speech agains
