jority Of 100 votes. The vote stood, 1853 to 81.
believe Mr.. Vinton is the only member from
Ohio who voted against this measure.
Very respectfully, yours, sc,
JOS. MORRIS.
The Washington Union Of the 9th inst, con-
aus that days proceedings, when tho Oregon
debate was brought 10 close, and the vote taken
to give Great Britain "notico to quit" HJoHN
Quincy ADAMS made powerful speech, which
was listened to with marked attention. This
second American speech viii be regarded by
our ne;ghbor over the way, doubtless, as add
tionll evidence that his mind ''has become as
pucrile and impotent as that of the unfortunate
IDIOT" Mr.. Adams declared that the foundation
of our title TO Oregon might be found in 26, 81,
and 2Sth verses of the first chapter Of Genesis,
and also in tho Sth verse of The second Psalm
AT the expiration of the hour allotted to Mr. A.,
a motion was made to suspend the rules to allow
him to proceed, but it did not prevail.
We copy what follows from the Union:
TIE QUESTION TAKEN!
The agony is oyef and The debate on the ques
ton Of notice, which has been CONDUCTED with
Igreat, not unriyaed ability, Gin tho opinion of
Mr.. Adams himself) before the Committee of
he Whole House since the 9th Of January last,
has now terminated, after more than 70 speeches
) were delivered The question has at last been
taken, after a session Of seven and a half hours,
from 10 q. M, 10 half after p. m. The scene
was animated and interesting beyond description.
It is the first spectacle of this sort that we have
ever witnessed. The galleries were crowded
beyond anything we have ever seen in Washing
ton. We were advised by familiar observers to
Iprepare for a storm. 1t came, indeed but the
very warning we had received was calculated to
abaro our sense of the confusion and excitement
it exhibited. One circumstance we were cx-
t remcly gratjfed to discover. There was no Vi
oence Of feeling, no rancour of expression
There was interest without passon--tho anxiety
of Suspense, without any violation of the bar
: mony ofthe House. We shall not, in this place,
enter into any specification of the motions made,
or Of the votes taken. We refer for all these CO.
Ip;ous details to the busy pens Of our laborious
and faithful reporters.
We hope we may congratulate the country up
=, on the cousummalon. Ii is sufficient for US to
state the general result. A resolution WAS finally
proposed by Mr. Boyd, made up in part Of the
eements Cfsome other resolutions. II was first
adopted in committee as substitute for Others
. and then reported 10 the House. 1t finally pre-
vailed by vote Of 1853 TO Sd one hundred and
nine mojority-jn he following form:
JOINT RESOLUTION of notice TO Great
Britain to "annuI and abrogate" the conven.
ton between Great Britain and the United
States Of the sixth of August eighteen bundled
and twonty-soven, relative to the country 'or
the northwest cost Of America westward o
the Stony mouuiains1' commonly called Or
cgon.
RESOLVED By the Senate cad House Of Repre-
8e&tatirey Of The United Suites of America il
: Congress assembled, That the President Of the
! United States cause notice TO be given TO the
r government of Great Britain that the convention
! between the United States OF America and Great
Bfitain, concerning the territory on the northves
coast Of America west of the Stony or Rocky
mountains, Of the sixth day Of August eighteen
a hundIed and twenty-seven, signed at London
shall be annuod and abrogated twelve months
after giving said notice.
!. RcaoIrcd, That nothing herein contained i;
intended 10 interfere with the right and discretion
e Of the proper authorities of the two contracting
4 parties to rene% or pursue negotiation for an
+ amicablo settlement Of the controversy respect
ing the Oregon territory.
We shall not analyze all the yeas and nays
There was a strange blending Of the parties OF
both sides of the question. We regret to dilleI
I with the republicans who voted in the minority
: of Ghy-iour. Some of these gentlemen are per.
sonally, ,as they are politically, ourancient friends
. 1t is our misfortune to differ decidedly with them
but we can have no question that it is an homes
; difference Of opinion on a grave and importan
] question.
This whole matter is now disposed of in thC
House. Every parliamentary form has beel
complied with The resolution has passed thci
; jurisdiction and control, and it now appears il
Ihc other wing Of the Capitol, before the Senate
tof the United States.
1t was the fullest House which has been fo
some time gathered together, as every Ropresen
/, atge voted upon the occasion except Messrs
Il King Of Georgia, Wood of New York, and Mr.
d carroll ofNew York, (who has not been in th
House since the commencement Of the session,
The Speaker did not vote and we believe thert
{ are three vacancies
t The House adjourned after this agia,ing spec
It lacle, in good hnmor and in good order. w
4 congratulate our country upon the result. Th
character of the resolution is decided, as we'll a
. conciliatory. The very strength of the heav
i majority with which il was carried Qhree to one
d viii add to the moral force WHICH it is destine
n to exert upon the two countries. 1t goes fort
!, fall Of energy and full Of hope. We cannot dout
7 that resolution Of notice will pass the Senat
+ with promp,itudq and decision, and thus add
D. new confirmation to the measures of the Pres
l. dents message, and new guarantee TO the pre-
d sowalon Of the rights and the peace Of Oh
!, country.
