Il would be remembered hy the Senator
ihatduring The political ,lyuss,y of late
iliaslrious Administration. Of which he was
distinguished mem' e., We were amnsei
! by tie Ingenious elictS III lie heads ofihst
Administration on the subject OF hanks.
That great man--for. however opposed in
his political views. he would lie the last
to dclract from his merits; he Was n great
manifested his edict=. and The banks ell.
And, continued Mr. NJ. in the la.e parcn-
lheiiral Administration there were divided
opinions on that very head; Tor. with the
amiablo purpose which We read Of in the
good book. mot 10 let the right hand
know what the lct hand doc;h," what he
recommended on the enc day, he gloricd
in vcioirg on the next.
Sir, 1 do MT regard the rrcsen; Exccu-
tive in tina! light. | regard him rs n gen.
tlemaa of personal honor. and God forbid
that | should withhold from him his Just
need of personal praise; though differing
as do in political sentiment, yet belier-
Ing in his personal integrity, would have
him TO be The resposible agent in this mat
ter. lie knows the state of the question.
and If war is 10 come, let him Justify it in
the face Of the world. Lei him make his
just propositions, and they will meet with
support on all SIDES.
For myself, | will moi follow the Sena-
tor from Michigan in his long harangue.
| have been called up wholly unexpected
ly. and desire to say at least enough to en-
hibit my own position. Nor do lknow
the opinion of my own associates. But
let us trust the nego.ialioa to tho Exeeu-
tive. Let us stand rea,lvtin advance. if
necessary, 10 strengthen his hands, that
when the blow falls it wilfslrikeupon the
very censotim of the enemy, where it
will be most felt. ~
Sin, when The gentleman tells US that
Great Britain is the mistress Of so many
miIlions--l bee pardon for using vulgar
phrase will ont.brag the Senator. IL
she was mistress of the world, and tram
pledupnn our rights. she should be hum-
hled. Sir, it would be deep reproachin
The present day lhat war should be pro-
noted between two enlightened nations.
1t cannothe justified. and. in my humble
opinion. if war should occur. the Oregon
question win be nothing more Than. a pre-
text. I he world is nowagiiate,l, heaving
and struggling with two grcahconiending
principles; the whole OF Chnslehdom is
shaking to iis centre, between republican,
ism, where the power rests. with the Peo-
pie, and monarchy in its various d,tfas,
absolute and qO;lified. When The si1lg-
gle comes, you viii find The people ofthis
country unitctlsas one man.. 1t will not
be a sectional war; Thgoncs5 will rem
BILE and totier, and Christendom itself be
shaken TO IFS very centre.
Why should the Senator advert 10 the,
unprotected state Of our csuntry-to The
ten thousand miles Of Frontier exposed 10
the assaults Of the enemy? / pray God
the contest may never come; for no enc
can estimate the amount of evil 10 the
whole civilized world that must resultfro
il. YET, rather than suffer dishonor, letit
come; and if we are in that uuPwpared
stale that the Senatorrepresents us to be,
and if Great Britain be prepared to strike
blow that willjesolaie our coasts like a
slrocco--if.we are to suppose all this, yet,
in my opinion, il will only serve to rouse
the national spirit TO the achievement Of
heroic deeds. -
Sir, the power Of this country is prodi-
gious, and il put in requisition, Great Bri-
tain, with all her military and naval re-
sources, though she might sweep thecoast,
yet she would find 10 her cost that it
would be no child's play, Again, sir, |
feel as much offended by the diplomatic
