Mr.. Davis Of Ky. read a minority report
declaring that this House had nothing 10 do
with it. That the subject is proper one
for the action of the President and the Urea
| ty majority Of the Senate.
A motion was made TO make il the order
Of the day tomorrow.
Mr.. Giddinss of Ohio made speech in
favor of the notice. He was very severe up
on the gentlemen who voted to acquire and
have Territory in Texas and surrender free
territory in Oregon. He expressed his opin-
ion that MIR. Polk would yet betray his party
on this question.
Mr.. Mcdowell IL Ohio was in favor Of the
notice Immediately. His speech was pru-
cipally extracts from tic Presidents Message
and The accorl panying document.
When lie took lis seat. mr. Lh;i: Of S.
e. took the dour. and made strong speech
against the raah measures now prec. iiated
4. Il had -
ted this morning in Committee against ih'
Resolution for the Notice
He SAID no war but defensive war WINS
instifable. If we go 10 war about OieSon,
we can never get il till we yanqush Engla
on every sea and continent.
MIR. Rheit made some illusions to MIR. Adj
ams-that he was opposed TO ihs last war.
Mr.. Adams asked if the gentleman charged
him with opposing the last war.
MIR. Rheu.-I do.
Mr.. Adams.-Then the gentleman is mis-
taken. (Laughter.)
Mr.. Rheti reiterated his opinion.
Mr.. Adams said that the gentleman from
5. C.. might not know the history of one so
humble as himself, but he should not msrep
resent him. He was appointed Minister 10
Russia by Mr.. Madison for his support of
VT. JtueTSOu duu nndu ulCdSuitss
The gentleman reminded him of the Knight
in Don Quixote. who insisted upon lashing
his Squire for the sake o! his beloved Dulci-
nea. He probably wished TO lash his Mr..
Adamss) back for Massachusetts. He VEN
Grated Massachusetts. but was not response
BILE for all the acts of that State. Here Mr..
Adams's eye kindled with FIRE. aud he point
ed his finger over the way TO Mr.. Rheit. and
said, am glad TO be able to say that il is
more from Ignorance than malignity that the
charge is made.
Mr.. Rhert then took up the Western and
New York Locofocos and handled them pref
ty roughly.
There had been talk of rumors of games,
&c. He, too, had heard Of rumors, and he
would mention some OF them. Here Mr..
Douglass of III. wished to explain. but Mr..
Rheit refused fe waste his time. Ii was ru-
mored that the West wished TO plunge This !
country into war in species Of political
gambling with The lives. liberty and blood of
the people 10 make Western man next Pres
ideut.
1t was rumored, too. that the New York
section OF The party now i'll power wished to
take Vengeance on the South for having de-
featcd their candidate at Baltimore, and there
lore they would deln5e TINS cophtry j" "'oo"
to clothe their favorite in imperial purple.
The South would not be wanting in Tatri-
otism whenever danger came. If war did
come the South would be found in The thick
est Of toe hattie. But he protested against Il
war of aggression. Every Republic that has
gone for foreign aggrandizement has fallen.
He did not wish similar fate for this Gov
eminent. The West might well clamor for
war. They were never to see British SOL
der in their part Of The country while the
sea.board would have to bear all the loss
Still he did no; doubt the patriotism Of the
West.
lie did not believe Negotiation at an end
He was not for war till that war became i'm
peralive for Narional Honor.
Mr.. Sims OF Mo. went for all Oregon or
none. now or never. He said The ouly time
he ever felt happy was one Sunday at church
when the news of Folks election reached his
ncighborhood. II he could only walk into
English soldiers as he did into English Gram
mar, the British would stand no chance.
Mr.. billiard Of Ala. having obtained the
floor, the House adjourned.
