RESULT OF THE OREGON DEBATE IN THE
SENATE. VA .sa

81 # Z
The debate in the Senate on the OREGON
QUESTION closed on Thursday about three o'clock,
and resulted in vote which we cannot but
think highly suspicious to the preservation OF
the peace Of the country. The amendment to
the resolution Of the House of Representatives
originally submitted by Mr.. CRIrTENDrN, and
altered at the suggestion of Mr.. JOHNSON, of Ma
ryand, was adopted substitute for that and all
other propositions before the Senate. The resolu-
another part Of our paper AS thus amended, the
resolution was not agreeable to most of those who
were regarded as 81 40 men. Mr.. ALLEN, the
chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations,
Mr.. CAss, Mr.. HANNEoAN, and others voted against
il on its final passage as will be seen. Mr.. Evans,
Mr.. t. CLAYTON, and Mr.. WEsTcoTT also voted
against the resolution, but we presume for very diff
ferent reasons: these gentlemen being Of opinion
that no resolution of notice at all ought to pass
The final vote was very strong-4O to IA. If
we add TO the 40 and take from the IA the
three gentlemen who are opposed to notice in
any form, the result would appear to be, that out
of 81 Senators present, 43 inmated distinctly their
opinion that the Oregon dispute ought to be COM
promised; and of the remaining IL we doubt not
that majority would be in favor of compromise
on the basis often mentioned if treaty to that
effect should come before the Senate.
The House of Representatives may or may not
concur in this amendment of the Senate. We hope
they will but if they should not, it is quite obvi-
Gus that, looking to the probability of settlement
by compromise, the state of opinion in the Senate
is the matter of first and greatest importance.
