for sake Of war. He had heard the war cry in
this Capitol so long, that he paid but little atten-
ton TO il. lie was not for being frightened from
taking our soil by the cry of war, since the Car
olne was sent over the Niagara without apology
and the State of Maine was dismembeIed after
the Senate had unanimously declared our right
to the whole Territory.
Mr.. Calhoun would not be misrepresented nOS
misunderstood lie believed, that that parry in
the Senate who went against negotiation, was in
favor of war, and no one could contradict it. lie
was for negotiating, as long as negotiation could
be carried on; but when war should be necessa-
ry, he would bear his share as he ever had done.
Mr. Haywood protested against transferring
the power of the President TO the Senate; he OBJ
iecled TO going on with this discussion on for
eign affairs; be considered il not an advisable
course. He said this discussion looked like
playing the game of brag, while the negotiation
was pending.
Mr.. Hannegan said that the President had gi-
ven the information in his message, as plainly as
lABC. And where was the necessity of asking
h him whether he should move or not? He who
could not understand the plain language of the
President, that the negotiation was at an end,
must have singular obliquity of mental vision.

course II hereafter he should see proper TO
pursue any particular course, he would move
without asking the Presidents permission. So
far rs etiquette WIS concerned, he cared nothing.
1t was the substance which he desired. But he
would ask the particular friend of the President,
as the senator appeared TO be on this occasion,
how would he defend him if the negotiation
was still pending, and the President had publish
ed his message to the world? Did he not call
on Congress to act? Did he mol recommend no.
tce to be given to Great Britain for the termi-
nation Of the joint occupaton2 that we should
occupy, TO a certain extent, the territory, and e.
rect stockades and forts? He said that the nego-
tation was at an end: and yet we are to ask the
| President, was it time to act! The senator from
: North Carolina appealed TO his friends TO stand
by him in rejecting these resolutions; but he Mr.
H.) called on him, as maintaining The principles
, of the Baltimore Convention, to stand by the pro-
t cIamation of his party. In the same resolution
/, Texas and Oregon rose and met, and should be
maintained. Were we divided there? He ask
: ed the senator not TO adhere to men, but to ad
9 here to tho declaralons Of party, made in so
9 lemn convention. BY this he was willing 10 livC
h or die. No compromise at forty-nine; the peo
i. pie in his country would never consent to sucl
t surrender. He repeated, in the words of hi
: resolutions, that it would be dlshonorabIe am

The Annexation Of Cuba.

The following resolution was offered in the
Senate, on Monday last, by Mr.. LEVY, from Flo
rida:
ResoIred, That in the opinion Of the Senate,
il is advisable for the President to open negotia-
tions with the government OF Spain for the ces-
sion 10 the United States of the island of Cuba
the inhabitants of said island consenting thereto.
Mr.. Levy, in presenting the above resolution,
said he done so in perfect good faith, which we
have no doubt is the case. In the annexation OF
Texas the principle has been settled, that any TO-
reign territory may be annexed to the United
States, with the consent of both nations. Cuba
as our readers no doubt are aware, is an island
belonging to Spain, situated in the ocean mme
diately south of Florida. 1t is probably some siS
hundred miles in length and about eighty ii
breadth. Both IN military and commercial
point Of view, but more especially the former
its union with the United States would be of in
calculable benefit. Upon an examination of thu
map, it will in moment be seen that it is tht
KEY to the Gull Of Mexico. Ii is as importan
that Cuba should belong 10 the United States a
Long Island, in The State Of New York. It's oc
cupancy by foreign power, whose interests ar
antagonist to ours, in time of war, might prov
extremely annoying and disastrous to the Unite
States. We therefore go in for the annexation
of Cuba with all our soul; but, as a matter o
course, We anticipate opposition from the fedora
and abolition parties, and ali other enemies t
the progress and extension Of the area Of free
dom.
N. D. We see by the proceedings Of th
Senate on the 9th ult., that Mr. Levy witedre,
his resolution for the present, al the request Z
his friends.

The CherOkecS.

We have heard that the Cherokees have
threatened 10 burn Evansville, i'll Washington
county, as soon as the United States troops, now
there, shall leave it. 1t is also reported that the
party that have gone out 10 the pralres are to be
murdered, and their friends have sent rumor to
advise them of their danger. Some forty OF the
treaty party are "fortifed" at Fort Wayne,awalt
ing the action of government.
A fire lately occurred al Beatie'sprairie, which
destroyed rails, corn, &c, to the value of 4O,OOl
dollars
Since the above was in type, we learn that al
express has passed through our city, on its way

Boone, a: Evansville, asking for reiniorcemen's
TO prevent the threatened destruction OF Evans

Important Debate i'm the Senate.

In the Senate, on Thursday, Dec. 80, Mr.. Han
negan of Indiana, called up the following rcsou-
lions, which were offered by him the day before
Resolped, That the country included within
the parallels of 42 and 81 degrees 40 minutes
north latitude, and extending from the Rocky
mountains to the Pacific ocean, known as the
territory of Oregon, is the property, and part and
parcel Of the United Suites.
ReSoLred, That there exists no power in this
government TO transfer its soil, and the aIlegi-
ance of its citizens, TO the dominion, authority,
control and subjection Of any foreign prince,s state
or sovereignty.
ReSolred, That the Abandonment or surrender
of any portion of the territory of Oregon, would
be an abandonment of the honor, the character,
and the best interests of the American people.
Mr.. Archer suggested postponement to the
second Tuesday in January
! Mr. Hannegan was about 10 acquesce, when
he gave way to-
Mr. Calhoun, who offered an amendment, sri-
king out all after the word resolved, where it
first occurs and inserting new set of resolu-
tons declaring that the President has the power
10 make treaties with the concurrence Ct the
Senate-that the power of making treaties ex-
tends to settling and fixing boundarics-that our
claim to the 81 degrees and DO minutes is clear
yet there are conflicting claims between the u
S. and Great Britain--hat the President has the
power under the Constitution TO adjust by treaty
, ,lthose conflicting claims-and that the Presiden
of the United States, i'll renewing the offer in the
spirit of peace and compromise, to establish the
49th degree of north latitude as line hetweer
the two countries, to the said territory, did no
abandon the honor, tic character, ar the best in
terests of the American people, or exceed th'
|, power vested in him by the constitution to mak
treaties.
!, Mr.. Calhoun then addressed the Senate in de
fence Of his amendment.
i, Mr.. Archer and Mr.. Clayton discussed the q
q mendment and congratulated the country on III
prospect of peace. They thought the debaI
sholld be continued in secret session, if at all.

Annexation Of California.

Annexation Of California.
Gen. CAss in his speech which We publish To-
day, says: "lf this administration could crown IFS
LABOR of acquisition-and in what il has done, ii
has labored with not less ability than success
by the peaceful annexation of California, III
would secure mpershable honor for itself, and
would command the lasting gratitude of the
whole country"
California is situated Immediately south of
Oregon, on the Pacific coast. II has pretty
large territory, with itch soil and most delight
ful climate, somewhat similar 10 that of South
Carolina. Who the territory of California be-
longs to at the present time, we are somewhat al
loss to know. Until recently it was the pro-
perty of Mexico; but it is generally understood
that the government of Santa Anna, before IFS
overthrow, mortgagcd the county TO England
in consideration of certain sum of money bOr-
rowed from John Bull. In the mean time, we
believe the citizens of California have establish
| ed local government for themselves, similar TO
that of the United States The immigration thith-
er, of late years, has been principally from the
United States. So far as the occupants of the
soil are concerned, they are anxious TO attach
themselves 10 the United States, and to claim
protection from our government If this object
could be accomplished peaceabIy and honoraby
we would be very much gratifed. Upper Cali
Gornia is capable Of sustaining larger population
than the State of Ohio. The best harbors on the
the mouth of the Columbia river south TO the
42d degree of north latitude, where Californi;
commences, there is generally bluff coast, ant
very poor harbors
If Mexico is willing to sell her right, whethe
legal or equitable to California, it would be wist
for the United States to purchase it without de
Hay. Florida was purchased from Spain, and ev
cry one must acknowledge that our government
deserves praise for The act. Under Mr.. Jeffer
sons administration, VIC paid France fifteen mil
lions of dollars for Louisiana, and although th
: federal party of that day, as now, opposed tn
! measure strenuousy, and prophesied that tn
: purchase would prove dangerous and runous +

t patons have most happily never been realizet

Annexation of Canada.

Many intelligent men, whose opinions arc en-
titled to respect, have declared themselves favor
able to the annexation of Canada. There are
many good Arguments that may be offered in
support of this measure; and there are also nu-
merous strong objections that may be urged a.
ganst it. The great mass of the people of Ca
NADIA possess feelings by no means congenial to
England, as the insurrection of 1867 abundant
Iy proves; but they are kept in awe by the Bri-
tish bavoncts, and hired sodcry. Canada, in
truth, has been great drawback to England
but for the sake Of keeping upher grand militia
ry establishment, she will not consent to part
with it. We believe the time will come when
the Patriots of Canada will, by successful revolu
ton, break assunder the chain that unites then
with England, and declare themselves free
and independent When that event takes place
|if the Canadas wish TO incorporate themselves in
to the American Union, we, for one, will be will
ing to open the door to receive them

"LOOK TO The SENATE"

The following tribute 10 the purity and
high character Of the Senate, from the pen
ola veteran politician and democrat, speaks,
we are confident, the general sentiment Of
the country:
"IooK TO THE SENATE This is the
warning which we find in a democratic
paper to create doubts of the honesty OF
'that body. Well, we do look al the Sc
nate, and the country has an eye upon it;
and never, in the course of our public ca
'reer, have we found that distinguished
'body enjoying in higher degree the con-
fdence Of the people, irrespective of par
'ty, or more deserving of that confidence,
a than it does at the present crisis. There
are few war spirits in the Senate, who
are getting up war fever; but the great
= body Of the Senate is sound in principle
and patriotism, and the last struggle for Ii.
a berry in this country will be made in that
body. We say, also, look to the Senate.
Look to it with entire confidence"
