[The Senate, during the past two weeks have done
two, such Woodward and Horn, among the Execu.
tive nominate ons that have given good deal of anxiety
and perplexy and bother.
House of Repressntat,vs. w's1a. ,s !. ,.,a
tee Of the whole
Mr. cocxr, Of Tennessee. having the floor from yes
notice. We are not prepared for war Hs believed the
administration were wrong in offering to dismember
Oregon on the 49th parallel of north latitude He
trasted the views Of those in favor Of the notice now
with the views OF the same gentlemen but ysar ago
Mr. BEpISGER, Of Virginia, took strong ground against
the notice. He gave a strong condemnation Of the
course of Mr.. Chapman, Of Michigan. But above all,
Oregon itself We NAV be- safe here bu, The American
citizens in Oregon will be buchsred long before
we can reach them with assistance. We must not make
rupture with England till have 20 900 rifes-till
we have corn to feed the soldiers send there The
South would not back out from any danger but they
would avoid it if they could with honor 1t mis-.
take to suppose that the South weakened py slave
ry. The person over there (Mr. GiddingO would be
true to their masters and faithful to the hand that
feeds them than the gentleman to his country,
or its constitution the gentleman should so there to
invade the rights Of saveholders the slaves themselves
would rally around their masters and scourge him from
among them. Here the chair called him to order He
tain He was much amused With the description given
OF one in letter to the New York Herald where Eng
land was described as the most rspacious graspng
relentng overshadowipg, unnatural and bloody pirate
Gaughterl we have had great deallof eloquence,
also about the American eagle That glorious bird had
been compelled to take great deal Of ex
ercise OF late He then went into beautiful descrip.
ton Of the American eagle. 1t brave but il was
not rash it never strikes till it is but when it
does strike, its blow and effective tho
lightning of Heaven. He described some Of the habits
OF the American eagle at Hsrper's Ferry, among the
hills and peaks Of tho Blue Ridge He described one
which in its fight had met dark cloud IL lighted
peak and waited till the storm had passed. md then
scared soit again, and continued its fight towards tho
setting sun So he hoped the black cloud would pass
over, and the American people would pursue their
reer to the prairies of Oregon.
Mr. MonsE, Of La, then obtained the aoor. and i was
moved that the Committee RISE This was voted down,
and Mr. Morse proceeded He in favor of the notice.
He had voted against il last year but he for II
Inactivity would have lost Texas If had
not been passed last year-and if do move now,
Oregon will become an Independent government-for
people will not live without some form Of government
for himself he would just lion start
hare. II was miserable dirty work to try make poll
icsl capital out OF this Oregon question. II England
would accept 40 deg. we were bound to meet her
there bat the notice would force England to her ul
matum.
Mr. DosprS, Of N. c. made short speech in favor Of
the notice.
MIR ROCKWELL, of Conn, having obtained the floor,
the committee rose, and the House adjourned
