MR.. CALHOuN,s SPEECH.

The course which Mr.. Calhoun has pur-
sued since the agitation Of the Oregon
question in the United States Senate during
he present session, had already induced
the public mind accurately to anticipate the
course he would adopt relative to that ques-
ton. His recent speech therefore but con.
firms the prevailing anticipation. We have
not seen more than brief synopsis Of it,
out we have seen enough to convince us,
that he does not unite with the administra-
ton in the measures proposed for the main
tenance Of our claim to that territory--that
he is opposed to giving the "notice" ac-
cordingto the recommendation of the Pres
ident-in favor OF compromising on the
basis of 40 deg.--and does not regard our
title clear and unquestionable. We hope
his speech wherever it is circulated may be
accompanied by his official correspondence
with the British Plenipotentiary in the year
1874, tbatitmay prove as an antidote to the
poison which it might otherwise instilI in
the public mind. From these documents
we will make copious extracts in our next
number. We hope a like course will be
pursued by the press generally. If John G.
Calhoun has asserted that our title to Ore
gon is not clear and unquestionable, let the
people be presented with the facts which
he as Secretary of STATE not two years
since, adduced to establish our claim to that
territory.
1t was the earnest wish Of those who are
in favOrOf maintaining our title to the whole
of Oregon, that.the democratic party should
have presented in its defence, an unbroken
phalanx-and on his return to the theatre
of his past usefulness and glory none doubt /
ed but that the great Statesman of the South
would have come tothe rescue, and thrown
the weight Of his name and his Overpower-
ing elOquence in behalf of the rights ofhis
country. His past conduct justified this
reasonable belief.
We believe the only way by which our
country can be brought safely, and without
bloOdshed through the present crisis is for
the representatives of the people to re.
main firm and united. Let them lalter and
divide, and the English Government will
be encouraged to make demands still more
unreasonable, and who can form a correct
idea of the dreadful result But fortunate.
y for the interestIand honor of the nation,
hat although friends may falter there is a
nan at the helm Of affairs who cannot be
iriven from the path of duty, and who will
prove equal to every emergency, and the .
PEOPLE will rally around his administration.
Ind yield it that generous confidence to
which it is entitled.

REPEAL MEETNG.-The friends Of Ire.
land held an enthusiastic meeting in the
City of New York recently. The Morn

Mr.. Van Buren, would attend the meeting,
and many attended, expecting to see him

O'COnOr Esq. venerable gentleman, ap-

THE WASHINGTON TIMES, SENATOR
CoLoUITT.--A short time sincethe Wash
ington Times, published an article charg.
ing thar caucuses had been held by a few
anti Oregon Democrats, and the Wing por-
ton Of the Senate, with the view Of enter
ing into an understanding, forcing the Ad-
ministration to compromise with Great Bril-
tain, by defeating the Notice resolutions
adopted by the House, &c. The Times
moreover asserted that this cabal whose OBJ
lect was to compromise the honor Of our
country, relinquish its claim to its own soil,
assembled at the house ofthe British Mn
lister, and acth him, deliberated concerning
their dark designs. Mr., Colquitt Of Geor-
gia felt called upon to notice this charge
and accordingly replied to it in a strain Of
billingsgate, that showed much excitement,
and reflected but little honor upon him as
one occupying the exalted sta n Of United
States Senator. The editor Of the Times
Immediately replied to the Rev. Senator
from Georgia in scorching article, re-
Peating the charge, and demanding an in
vestigation. The excitement betrayed by
Mr.. COlquitt in relation to it, and his un.
dignifed reply have caused many to fear
that there is some truth in the charge thus
boldly made, and reiterated. A Commit.
tee consisting of Messrs. Jarnagin, Benton,
Dickinson, J. NJ. Clayton and Turney, have
been appointed to investigate the matter,
and ascertain the source whence the editor
of the Times obtained his information
and the grounds upon which his charges
were based. We rejoice that the Senate
has adopted this course. IF those who are
implicated in the charge of plotting against
their own country with the Minister Of
foreign Power, are guilty of the crime
brought against them, the senatorial robes,
and the dignity which attaches TO their sta.
ton should not protect them from the GEN.
sure which they deserve. If on the con-
trary they have been misrepresented, the
author of the calumny should be branded
with inGmy and disgrace.
Since the above was in type we have
'een the result ofthe investigating Commit
ee. They have unanimously reported that
he allegations are entirely false. The ed
tor of the Times failed to bring forward
he proof of his charges, and admitted that
le had no personal knowledge Of the truth
f his assertions. Mr.. Dickinson of New
FORK, who confirmed the report, stated that
he articles were written at the time Of
reat public agitation, and the "author was
nore a victim to false information, than a
ibeler with malicious intent"

LOUISIANA LEGIsLATURB.-The Legis-

Van Benthuysen & BesancOn, prOprietors
Of the New Orleans Jefersonian, State
printer. We are glad that they have re-
7ceived this mark of the confidence Of that
body. A powerful, hut unworthy effort
was made not long since, by a cOmbina-
ton Of printers ia that city to defeat them /;
but the action Of the Legislature shows that
they have been fOiled in their attempt.
A series Of Resolutions have been pro-
posed in the Senate, asserting our title to
the whole of Oregon, and advocating meas
ures for maintaining and securing it.
They had not been acted on at our latest
dates.

ment. A Government Council was DELHI.
Grating upon the matter--but the result
Of their deliberations had not been dis.
closed. This movement on the part of Mr..
Slidel, will cause the Mexican Govern.
ment to avow what course she will adopt
in her relations with this government. The
question of peace or tOar is left for her 10
decide. If the reply to Mr.. Slidell's de-
mand is not satisfactory, it is supposed that
he will leave the country Immediately.
The question whether or not monarchical
institutions shall be established in that
country, was still agitated with much
warmth. There is a strong party in Mex
leo in favor Of monarchy, among whom is
mentioned the Bishop, and the Priesthood
generally.

New HAMPsHIRB ELEoTIoN.-Owing
to dissatisfaction and division in the Demo-
cratic ranks, Mr.. Williams the regular nom
inee of that party for Governor has failed
to receive a majority of the whole number
of votes polled. The Wings, and the Dem.
ocrats who have become allied with them,
will have the ascendency in the Legisla-
ture, which will ensure the election of a
Wing, or pretended Democrat who will
barter principle for place, to the United
States Senate
Twenty years ago similar occurrence
took place in that State" The per6dy,"
says the New York News, "of Judge Bell
gave New Hampshire to the Wings" His
reward was, seat in the United States
Senate for term of six years. The rem
egade John P. Hale, has played the same
game-but we trust will not meet with the
same reward.

The Oregon question was taken up in

was continued by DIR. Berrien of Georgia.
We have heretofore expressed our opinion
that resolutions in favor of giving the No
tice would be adopted in that body by
large majority. The recent speech how
ever of Mr.. Calhoun, and the division in
the democratic ranks have given different
aspect to affairs, and we now entertain
doubts as to the final action of the Senate.
