ternal improvements When Mr.. W. conclu
ded,
Mr. Niles moved postponement Of the bill
Ter the present.
A message in writing was received from the
President.
The special order being resumed
Mr.. Haywood addressed the Senate in con-
tlnuaton of his Yesterdays remarks. He had
shewn, he said, when he spoke yesterday, that
the acts of omission and commission of the Pre-
sldent, determined by rules of magnanimity,
charity and Justice on the one hand, and by the
most ordinary dictates of common sense on the
other required us TO assume, and not to doubt,
that his purposes were pacific. That he had
not rashy placed himself in position to in
volve the world in war; but on the contrary,
stood in the open door of Cancellation, not in Il
Danoply of error, but with crown Of peace on
his head
Mr. II. again examined the message, and
then frankly warned his party Of the effects of
discord, and especially defended the South
from the charge of "Punic faith"
Mr. IL. spoke until after o'clock.
Mr. Hannegan then rose and asked, through
the Chair, this question of the Senator from
North Carolna-"Is he authorized to say for
the President that he would compromise upon
the 49th parallel of North lattudei"
Dir. Haywood replied that what he had said
was written before he said it, that he might
say no more than he meant. The President
wood be very unwse, pending negotiation,
30 commit himself upon such point.
Mr. Allen, (Mr. Hannegan yielding) then
understand the Senator from North Carolina
as answering in the uegatiyei
Mr. Haywood | have already tried to
prove that the Senator from Ohio made very
bad hand in his efforts at constituting language.
(Laughter.)
Mr. Allen, with great oxcitement.} de-
mand an answer to the question have asked
i demand it as public man.
Mr.. Haywood. The Senator has no right
to dtiaana of me an answer. Were The
chairman Of tine committee Of foreign reIa-
tons might be supposed to know more than
private Senator. Out Of doors ! wilt an
swer most anything. TO prevent discord
would almost take 4 humililung attitude
here
Mr. Wcslcott. ] call the Senator to order
-ho has no right to bring the President for
ward here.
Mr.. Haywood. Don't be alarmed. ! don't
mean to say anything but what have said.
Mr. Allen, greatly eXcited.) Then the Sc
astor takes back his speech,
Mr.. Mangum. "Order, order"
MIR. Haywood. Pm not excited All this
ahows that my speech takes
Mr.. Allen, (aslde.) Yes, il takes with the
British.
Mr.. flanagan then replied to the remarks
about Punic faith, and the Baltimore Conven-
ton, to which the Senator from n. c. had al
luded. He closed his remarks with this en-
Pbatic language-Sir, if the Presidents inten-
tions are such rs the Senator from n. G. has
attributed to him, then is he damned to an in
fanny so deep, SO profound, that the hand Of
resurrection can never draw him up. The
Senator from n. C. spoke of this question as
one upon which "small men hoped to ride in
10 great Offices" Sir, | would rather be a
small man, seeking high Office, than to be the
pandeT Of power, and sneak up the back-stairs
of the palace in order to bring into high places
the MODS and becks OF power. If James X
Polk has spoken such sentiments as the Sena.
tor from N. G. attributes to him, then has hC
uttered the language of lasehood with The
tongue Of the serpent.
The Senate adjourned until Monday.
