than the Senate amendment. The lat
ter only instructed the President to re-
new effortsleft off; efforts to compromise
uponthe 49th parallel. The former in
structs him to "adopt medsures"-any
measures OF amicable compromise,
whether upon the 4sth parallel. or south
OF that line. If the Senate were viii.
ling to concede substance, why did they
not concede more than mere word?
Why did they insist upon equivalent
terms?
Sir, am opposed to the report, be-
cause it is deceptve-because it, in et-
feet, instructs the President to avert
war by any sacrifice ofterritory or ter
ritorial right--because, having made
the last offer Of ofcempromise, we cannot
now renew the offer consistently with
our own dignity and selfrespect-be-
cause it is incumbent on Great Britain
to make the next offer--and because,
too, we have no right to direct the Pres
ident, or the treaty making power, how
they shall compromise. We may alb
rogate the treaty-making power. By
the adoption of the report, you place
the President in the dilemma Of disre-
garding the Instructions Of Congress to
compromise by concession, or of violat-
ing his plighted faith to the people to
maintain the whole. By seeking to
throw upon him the responsibility of
giving or Withholding the notice, you
degrade great national question to a
miserable party level. Who is there
here who would not covet the glory Of
sharing such responsibility?
Mr.. Speaker. will take the hazard
of being misunderstood, and will vote
my convictions Of duty. | withdraw

ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMSHIP
t CALEDONIA.

The steamer Caledonia, Capt. Lott,
arrived at Boston on the Goth inst. with
advices from Liverpool to the 9TH, and
London of the Sd inst, both inclusive.
Oregon in England seems to have
lost its attraction for awhile IN the
smoke of the Indian news.
The victories of the English over the
Sikhs appears to be the principal fea-
ture of the intelligence by this steamer.
The slaughter OF the Sikhs was ter
rible. Ten or twelve thousand of these
brave fellows and nearly two thousand
English troops were slam and wounded.
This battle and slaughter, added to
the slaughter of twenty thousand Sikhs,
in previous battle, has resulted in the
surrender, in full sovereignty, Of the
territory, hill and plain, lying between
the Sutlej and Beas rivers, and the pay
ment of and half crorc of rupees as
indemnity for the expenses Of war.-
The entire regulation and control Of
both banks of the river Sutlej, and such
other arrangements for settlelng the
future boundaries of the Sikhs State,
and the organization of its administra-
ton, as might be determined on at La
hore.
The cotton market was apparently
depressed: yet on the Sd inst, Amer
lean descriptions improved one-eigh:
Of penny.
The m money market was in an unset
tied and unsatisfactory state.
There appears to be a stagnation in
the corn markets, in consequence of the
movements in Parliament relative to
the corn laws.
Indian corn continues to arrive in
England and gains popularity.
The English tariff and Irish coercion
bill absorb the proceedings in Parlia-
ment.
The Polish revolution appears to be
at an end. Poor, unfortunate Poland.

CONGRESS.


In another part of to.days paper our readers
will find the proceedings of Congress spen the
passage of the Oregon resolutions. II will be per.
ceived that the notice has passed IN shape Hnsc.
ceptable TO the warm friends Of Oregon. The
passage of the notice IN its present form admits
that the notice ought to be given, then why should
the Senate and House refuse to take the respen-
sibility' Is not the Congress Of the United States
as able to bear the responsibility as James X Polk,
If it ought to be done, as this notice assumes i
should be, why place It in the power Of the Presi-
dent to defeat III The following is an extract
from the Providence Gazette:
1" Men voted for that notice who deny our rirht
to the Oregon territory above forty-nine degrees,
and who have edited the Senate for hours and days
with arguments in favor Of the British title. Dan.
iel Webster commenced in Faneuil Hall to argue
against the notice-aganst action Of any sort---sni
yet Daniel Webster voted aye on the passage ef
the resolution authorizing the President to give
the notice. What was his object?--what was tho
object OF other Senators who pursued aiks courssf
Does the preamble to the resolve they voted for,
speak their opinions! No. They had in view tbs
resolution itself when they voted. and that resvlu.
ton authorizes the President to let the matter ress
where il s truly as 1t authorizes him to give he
notice. It the notice Is given, they win regretit-
better than joint occupation and jursdicion, ,thsy
will oppose it. They have shirked from all respsn-
sibility In the matter, and can ndw fold their arms
and grumble al any course the President nav ptr-
sue. We wish rot TO call hard names or say IN
generous things, but we viii say that this course
looks to Us contemptbly mean, and worthy only d
cowards.S

SPEciE.-Great complaints are made by the
wings that there is not enough specie in the coun.
try to transact business, and consequently we must
have banks. Is any thing money but gold andsil-
yer! Can man be compelled to take any thing
else in payment of debt' No. Consequently
nothing but gold and silver is money. Az bank
paper is not money, does its issue make money
plenty3 No. 1t drives gold and silver from the
country, because it ismore valuable in some other
market Is there gold and silver enoughin the
vaults of the banks to redeem all their paper! No.
Then all the excess Of paper over specie is worth
less, because it cannot be redeemed in gold and
silver.
We find in document prepared under reso-
luton of the House Of Representatives Of the Uni
ted States, by Jonathan Elliott. that the average
production of the mines Of Russia for FIVE years
ending in 1885, was rs. las 900 in gold, and 8l,-
234 900 in silver; and that the production for 1885
was 80, ,2lo. .2ss in gold and 81 s67 $50 in silver
Mr.. Elliott say that, circumstances have oflate
SO far increased the production of gold, that the
value obtained from the mines (of Russia) for l64S
is, on high authority rated at $l9,0 ,0O0, ZOO" Mr.
Elliott further says that the highest authority places
the annual production OF the mines of Russia At
about $40 900 900; and that 'recently an applca-
ton was made to the Bank of England by the Rus.
sian government. to kvsoto aohat use they could
make OF 10000, 900, (equal to more than $2s ,0oo-
OOo) and no favorable a,s,pfr could be obtained"
Does this appear as il there was no gold in the
world' Do away with banks, and il will flow

MORE INsrRycTloNs.-We understand
that some of the county auditors have
taken the responsibility of constituting
Auditor Woods construction, taking it
as an implified power, upon the grounds
that if Woods has right to construe
the law 10 suit his Understandings then
the county auditors have the same right
to construe Woods construction to
suit their understanding. After all this
we see no reason why the assessors
should not have a finger in the matter;
they will need construction to suit
them as much as any other officer
