Oar increase OF population now over the deaths,
and other causes OF reduction, amounts TO SIX
hundred, thousand per annum. AT the next
generation, by this ratio, our annual increase will
be a million. At the end OF the next twenty-five
years, when some OF the Senators see around me
shall become az grey as am, we shall have a popu-
iaton OF torty-five millions OF people And at the
end of another generation, when the shores OF the Pa
cihc shall be sprinkled with towns and cities, as
thickly as they are now upon the Atlantic, shall
have population OF eighty millions, provided there
is a continuance OF peace. We occupy a portion
of the earth all others most favorable TO COM
merce. With the Atlantic upon one side, and the
Pacific on the other, we command the commercial
interest OF the two extremes of the old world Peace
win secure our federal system, and its capacity for
this extension OF commercial greatness. BY war
We cannot be great and free If we would be great
aud tree, We must preserve peace. With afew re,
marks upon himself, Mr.. Calhoun said he should
conclude. He had been charged as being more
earnest tor the acquisition OF Texas than Tor the
possession OF Oregon. Mr.. Calhoun DEFINED his
position TO be, that, the annexation OF Texas ne
had considered II not merely Southern question,
but as an acquisition In whoh the whole West-the
ennre Mississippi valey--had an equal interest,
North and South. But, admitting that hls policy
had been that OF an exclusively Southern man, look.
ing exclusively 10 the interests OF the South, he had
adopted no means, neither in reference to Texas
Oregon, which were not warranted by the differ
ences OF circumstances in the two cases. With
Texas. time WAS against us-wlth Oregon, time was
IN our lavor. This was the whole difference. Texas
was at the point OF commercial arrangement with
England. There was no time to lose. He would
leave his course TO sreak for itself With Oregon
different policy was required. His object in both
cases was to avoid war. He had not the slightest
fear of war with England from the annexation of
Texas-Texas having been recognized an indepen-
dent nation by England, France, and other powers
OF the earth England would have had no ground
TO stand upon IN the declaration OF from the
nexaton OF Texas, no more would Mexico.
Had not Texas been annexed, she remaining an in
dependent nation, detached from us by a CONNER
cal bond with England, and composed of people
like u.s. rather fond OF than otherwise, Jealous
les and differences would have arisen between US,
and, with an indefinite line of boundary quarres
would be excited, wars would follow, and II would
require years OF and boocshed to recover
what could be and had been effected in prompt,
wise, and bold nesoiiation
Mr.. Calhoun sat down There was no manifes-
fation OF applause, as alter the war speech of Mr.
Allen, but there was general murmur OF approba-
ton and delight pervadlng the Senate and the gal
ieries.
Mr.. BsRRrEN moved that the Senate adjourn
Some other Senator moved an executive session
but this was overuled, and the motion to adjourn
prevailing, the Senate was adjourned till tomorrow,
at Il o'clock.
