"a 40, Mr. Haywood came down to the remark of Mr.
Allen in his late speech that in the formal occupation Of
the whole territory we had nothing to fear-that upon
the Oregon question, single handed, England dare not
fight.
Mr.. ALLEN explained his remark England would not
dare to 60 to war upon the Oregon question alone but
that, she did 60 to war, there would be other State
questions embraced in the issue.
Nh. Haywood replied that Chairman on Foreign
Relations the honorable Senator might have information
in his possession not accessible to the Senate refer
ence to those other causes Of He had understood
the Senator to say however that England dare 20
war about Oregon, and Oregon was the question now
under discussion.
Mr. ALLEN desired the Senator should report truly
what he had said.
Mr.. HEYwooD said he was very much in the habit of
doing So He was not however, in the habit of carrying
printed speeches about he believed the Sena
tor had not reported his yet We told by the pa

to do
