Thompson, Of this State, addressed the
House in an able, argumentalvo speech,

The debate in the Senate was to have
commenced on the 10th instant
The protraeted debate in The House has
drawn forth much talent, and many ebu-
lhiona of patriotism. The burden Of most
of tho speeches seems 10 be, the chances
and probabilities Of war--!rightful pictures
Of the horrors of conflict, on the one hand
and heroic delineations Of the glories Of tri-
umphant arns on the other--with shrewd
conieeturcR as to what John Bull win doin
this case OF that. Wherefore these bodings
about the course Of Great Britainl Can II
be that there arc those among US ready to
tcmpodse with OF tamely submit to the de.
mands Of any foreign powerl The ques-
lion, and the only question that should be
considered by an American statesman. in

government and any other, is, WHAT ARR

Ing all the petty arts OF diplomacy, il is his
duty 70 step forward boldly in vindicatior
and maintenance Of those rights. We Dc
not believe the evils OF war have been, o.
can DO, overated. But to surrender thj
national rights, BY crcumscibing the limit
Of the Republic, Is disgraceful and degrad
ing--a thousand times worse than war
with all It's attendant evils and horrors.
Our statesman agree, with singular una
nimity, that our title to the whole Of tht
Oregon territory up TO tho Russian line, !

REJECTION OF Mr.. WOODWARD. 1t
seems to be very well understood, and
known, so far as the mysteries Of the Sc
cret Executive sessions can be pierced,
that the nomination Of Mr.. Woodward to
the seat on the Supreme Bench vacated
by the death Of Judge Baldwin. has been
rejected. The causes have not transplr-
ed. We presume the reasons will be
known in good time.
Ii is question Which il is time to ask,
why the proceedings ofthe American SEN
ate in relation to matters so entirely do-
nestle as Executive nominations, should
be conducted with closed doors9 In the
discussion of matters, of Foreign concern
ment, there is necessity for secrecy--nol
as regards the American public, but as re-
CARDS the Foreign powers, our relation VIVA

in matters Of a purely domestic nature
And we can find no apology for the con-
tinuance OF these secret deliberations, II

of public, alone and directly interested
in them The custom is useless, and cp-
posed 10 that spirit os American Repuoil.
