In relation 10 the news Of the LAST steamer, Mr.
CALHOUN said
bile up, I wish 10 allude TO some remarks OF
the Senator from Michigan. he seems 10 think that
the news By the last steamer was helliseren: as
he could have anticipated Such an opinion coming
from such nigh authority it is proper, perhaps
that siye mine have read the articles IN the pa
pers aud as far IS an capable, have endeavored
TO trace in my mind the effects which the fna
change Of the Ministry forming under SIR Robert
Peel are likely 10 exercise on our affairs Inc
result Of the reflection is the opinion that the change
in question is likely 10 be highly propitious. The
few words read by the Senator from one OF the art
cles might seem 70 bear against this conclusion; but
not So think if taken in connection with other ar
ticles. The whole tone OF the English press. with
on, a single exception go far as have seen. ind-
cafes an anxious desire TO adjust this question with
the United States in peaceful manner. But al the
same time the whole tone and spirit OF thst press
shows that Great Britain thinks she has some rights
in Oregon and if the Cnited States undertake 10 as
ser, her exclusive right the whole, without con-
sutng her. the issue must be an appeal 10 arms
On ascertaining the news brought by the Liberty,
my first impression that Lord John Russell
could not stand, and that conviction intimated TO
some friends But l hardly anticipated the re-
turn of Sir Robert Peel. Yet | must say that
that return OF Sir Robert Peel aud with reinstated
power l regard OF the most proptous cir
cumstances possible for this country There must
be very great change since had share In the
management of public affairs if the British Govern
ment be not anxious TO settle this difficulty IN an
amicable manner Ny convictions are now stronger
much stronger sir-than they were, that this
question can be honorably settled by negotiation
Mr. President, if it should not be so settled,
| fear much of the responsibility vii! rest upon
as Instead OF engaging in these asitatng dis
cussons in the front Of these indications being
wise course regard ii as anything but wise. That
quietness with which the whole British press has
received the Presidents Message appears TO me to
set proper example TO us. We ought TO receive
the Observation-Disclosures think, highly favor
able 10 an honorable settlement of this question and
TO none other than an honorable settlement would |
ever agree-we ought TO receive Il in the same spl-
rt If so received and acted on, as have conf
dencc it will be. by the Executive, have, repeat
stronger hopes than ever that all will be settled IN
an honorable and peaceful way
Mr. CLAYTON regarded the resolution as unpar-
liamentary and Of order and gave his reasons for
this opinion.
Messrs WOODBRIDGE, SIMMONS and BREEsE
were in favor of receiving the resolutions and
Messrs PgSSYBAcKER and ARCHER opposed to its
reception.
