n Great Day in the Stnats-hmportamt Crisis in the
Oregon Debate.
We have had great day upon the Oregon ques-
tion-the most important day Of the session. The
opposing columns Of the 81 40 and the compromise
men, have met with fixed bayonets. The cashlng
Of the. steel was startling and exciting; and we
might say that the compromise party have exhibited
phalanx that appears to be irresistible. chiefly
upon the proposition of Mr.. Coquitt expressing a.
the sense Of Congress: "that it is earnestly desir
ed that the long. standing controversy respecting
the limits in the Oregon territory be speedy settled
by negotiation and compromise, IN order TO tran
quze the public mind, and TO preserve the friend
" relations between the two countries" Messrs.
Crittenden, Webster, Breese, Colquitt, Calhoun,
Allen, Hannegan, Johnson OF Md Pennybacker,
and Cass, took part in the discussion to-day Mr.
Webster thought that il was time some decision up
on the attitude Of the administration should be had
that some idea OF Its intentions should be known
Mr. Crittenden was tor leaving the matter with the
President MIR. Calhoun thought that Mr.: Colquitt's
resolutions ought to be passed this very day. In or
der to 90 out with the next ste amer. Gen. Cass
considered them in bad taste. Mr. Hannegan sub
United an amendment repudlating compro mise,
and protesting against any rurrender OF the terrific,
ry. Mr.. Allen contended that the President stoed
out for the Russian line. Mr.. johnson OF Md. de-
sired the authority of this declaration. Mr. Allen
said it was derived from the records Mr.. Breese
considered the basis OF 81 40 question OF nerve.
Mr.. Colquitt ihereupon dssected Mr. brrese, or rd-
Their 1ayed him alive II was little OF the sever
est skinninR operation we have seen for some time
The Senate, at quarter past four, stopped the dis
cussion and adjourned over to Monday next-2S TO
24-Mr Colquitt voting in the affirmative.
The day was one OF intense interest, excitement
laughter and seriousness. There has been no day
Of the session to compare with it. See Senate re.

Kentucky Volunteers.

The Washington Union says:-"When
il was proclaimed that the government
had called on Kentucky for troops to
prosecute the war against Mexico, ,suchwas
the zeal display ed, that two captains who
had succeeded in raising their Companies,
started to the capital TO report themselves
to the governor as ready TO march; one
of them on arriving at Lexington, was
apprised that he was preceded by the
other, who had only left few minutes
and Immediately drove post haste to be
in first; the other learning the object, in
creased his speed, and both continued
the race until one unfortunately broke his
buggy, and left an apparently easy con-
test to his rival; but, nothing discouraged
he ungeared his horse and mounted with
out saddle, and by taking near cut beat
his antagonist to the executive chamber,
but was informed that the number re-
quired had already been accepted; in the
meantime the other came up, when both
crest fallen and disappointed. inquired if
they would not have preference III a war
with England; such is the spirit that per-
vades our country"

The National Fair.

We are gratifed to learn that the great
National Fair, recently held at Washing
ton City, proved entirely satisfactory to
the friends of Home Industry, and did
not fail to convince even the most sceptl-
cal free traders that, under the operations
Of the present excellent Tariff, our manu-
facturers and artisans can cope success
fully with those of any other country
And we are the more grati6ed at this re-
suit, because the project of holding such
Fair originated with our Representa-
tive in Congress, Hon. ANDREW STEW
ART, who rallied 10 his aid influential
men from the several States, to carry out
that enterprise, and to whom the nation
is therefore mainly indebted for this great
triumph of our workmen over those OF
Europe. The policy of protecting our
manufactures and the skill of our me-
chanics and artisans. have been thereby
fully demonstrated, and opposition in a
great measure silenced. Even some OF
the Administration presses speak most Ia
vorably of the exhibition, which we take
as an indication of an intention on their
part to"cut loose" from "Jemmy O'Polk'
and come out in favor Of the true inter-
ests of the country, and for which we
cannot too highly commend them. But
our friendly advice to them at the same
time is, not to allow that fact to come to
the knowledge of "Father Ritchie," lest
he pronounce upon them his anathema
and read them out of the party as politi-
cal heretics.

A "Democrattc war;,

The Philadelphia Keystone, rampant
locofoco sheet, designates the present
war with Mexico as democratic war, J"
thinking no doubt thereby to be able TO
make little capital for the Administra-
ton, whose conduct in the matter has
been censured by some. We believe
the keystone to be correct in its designa-
ton, in SO far as the BRINGING on of the
warts concerned; but as regards the FIGHT
ING PART, we think it most egregiously
in error. The war with Mexico, no
matter what are the causes that have pro-
duced it, is viewed by all patriotic ciii-
zens as a national contest, in which the
whole country is interested, and in the
prosecution Of which men of all parties
have manifested their readiness TO partici-
pate. Where, then, is the propriety or
justice of giving it a party character!-
As well, because the gallant Gen. TAY-
LoR is thorough-going Wing. might we
denominate il a "Whig War;" and claim
for the Whig party all the credi; of his
recent victories.

Militia and Volunteers.

Gen. CAMERON, on presenting in the
Senate lately the proceedings of meet
ing of the citizens of Philadelphia, ten
dering 10 the Government their services
in the existing war with Mexico, stated
that Pennsylvania had muster roll of
two hundred and thirty thousand militia,
and volunteer force of thirty two thou
sand-making altogether Two hundred
and sixty-two thousand men, which is
more than half the number that Buona-
parte marched into Russia when he at
tempted the conquest of the great Empire
of the North. Pennsylvania alo le, there
fore, could furnish a force sufficient to
oyerrun andsubdue all Mexico.

Something About Butter.

A gentleman of this county, who had
last year engaged in the Butter business,
informed us recently, that the Baltimore
dealers had determined for the future to
have all Butter inspected before purchas-
ing. 1t appears that they have come TO
this determination in consequence of hav-
ing last year received some lots which
were sold to them as "Glades Butter" !"
but which on examination proved to be a
very inferior article. As many of our
farmers make large quantities of Butter
annually, il may be to their interest to
note this fact; for by sending to market
an article Of the "right Stripe" they will
no doubt be amply compensated, hE its
ready sale and an increased price, for any
little extra trouble they may be at in pre-
pairing it.

speecb of srr. stewart.

We refer the reader to another column
for some remarks of Mr.. Stewart IN re-
gard TO the existing war and the pay OF
those who are 10 do the6ghting part. All lare
aware that, until farther enlistments take
place. the Governments main reliance for
troops viii be upon volunteers-and it is
this meritorious class Of soldiers whose
pay Mr.. Stewart wishes to have increas-
ed TO ten dollars per month-just two
dollars more than Members of Congress
receive per day. Is there any thing ex-
travagant, unfair, or unjust in .hiss We
opine not-and we further opine that,
had the proposition came from an other
quarter, those who are so loud in their
censures of Mr.. Stewart for making IT.
would have denounced as cowARDs and
TRAITORS and TORIES, all who should
have opposed it. The truth is, there are
some folks whom Mr.. Stewart cannot
please, do as he will-for whom he mud
dies the water whether he passes the
stream above or below them-and who, u
they cannot find fault with his ACTS, try tc
iniure him by assailing his MOTIVES
'Tis pity-a GREAT pity, that some
people are so hard to please!

Fayette County.

The Wings Of Fayette, at their recent
county meeting, adopted series of reso-
lutions, from which we clip the follow
ing
RESOLVED, That in the present condi-
ton oil. our beloved country-involyed In
war with neighboring Republic, while
we feel justified in pointedIy condemning
the policy of our rulers, who have I'M
necessarily brought this war upon, us,
vet as WHIGs, and lovers of the country,
we highly approve of the course of our
whig brethren in Congress in providing
MEN and MEANS for the prosecution of the
war.
RESOLVED, That in answer to the base
insinuation that the "whigs are not the
friends of the country" we point trium-
phantly to ScoTT TAYLOR and RING
GOLD, and host of other whig officers OF
the army and navy, as wings ever ready
to sacrifice their lives and their fortunes
in defence of their country.
RESOLVED, That the thanks of the
wings of this Congressional district arc
due to our able and indefatigable Repre-
sentative, ANDREW STEWART, Esq,
for his untiring defence of the TARIFF
for his project of NATIONAL FAIR to
counteract the influence of the exhibition
of British manufactures, in one of the
rooms of the Capitol.got up by the friens OF
JamesK. Polk, ,enemiesoft the Fariff,to pros
trate domestic industry-and also, for his
recent though unsuccessful effort to raise
the pay of UOl,mteer soldiers.
TThe meeting appointed William
CoIvin, Alexander Black, and Sebastian
Rush, as conferees to meet with others
from Somerset and Greene to nominate a
candidate for Congress.
