irely engrossed with the speech of Mr..
b. The British and Russian ministers
were also present. Mr.. Pakenlam's WIS.,
It's 10 the senate chamber have been daily
since the arrival of the steamer Cambria.
Mr.. Breese denounced any thought of
surIenderlng any part of the territory
north of ST. 40. He considered that
England would suffer as much, il not
more, than this country 10y war; but
he had no idea that she would 90 10 war

colonial possessions, and So contiguous

consent OF Mir. t., made IN explanation
at some former statements Ut his. and that
he had not intended Ia disparage the
strength of our own navy nor cNaIt that OF

lsr. Brees'e Oregon speech,

Our limited space will not permit US to insert
at length any of those able speeches that have
been made by our delegation In congress on the
Oregon question, as we should most gladly do il
the case were otherwise. At best we can give
them but brief notice, referring our readers to
the large Dailios or other publications a, Wash
ins,on tina. are devoted exclusively to congress
sional proceedings for the speeches a, length as
written gu, by the members themselves. First
among these we should be pleased to lay before
our readers, the mastery argument in favor of
our title to the whole of Oregon, delivered by our
senator, Mr.. Breese, in the senate on the 10th
inst. Of this able effort, we find the following
notice in the Economist, paper printed at Wash.
ington that takes no sides in politics, and is en-.
tirey impartial and unbiased in whatever i, says
in reference to the speeches Of members.
Mr.. BREEsE, who had the floor from
last Thursday, addressed the senate in
support of his views. He stated that he
was unaware, until The resolutions of the
legislature Of his state had been read this
morning, that he was instructed; but he
hoped that his course heretofore, present
and future, would conform to their spiri,
and intent. Mr.. B. wen, into the ques.
ton Of title arising from discovery, ces-
sion, &C., and threw much more light in
favor of our claims on points that have
been discussed " others, as well as
bringing many new arguments and views
strengthening our position, which have
escaped the research Of his predecessors
in debate or cabinet. Mr.. John Q. Adams

New Hnmpshire EicciIou.

Through the union Of the wings, aboltionis,s
disailected democrats, and the rag-,ag and bob.
tail ofevery other combination and faction, the
democrats Of the Granite State have again failed
to elect their candidate, Woodbury., to Congress,
and have lost the legislature by small majority.
The great object with the allied forces appears
to be to elect John p. Hale, an anti Texas demo-
crai, to the U. s. Senate, in which they will pro.
badly succeed. Tho little triumph achieved by
this union Of fag.ends, has created immense
chuckling among the wings, which, as the tune
WILDE changed by the time another election conc,
on, and as it is the first victo~y they have been
permitted to rejoice over for long while, we
have no objection to their INDUCING in as much
as possible.

Somachat DoubTuI.-The 81. Louis
American repeats a story, which 1t is ve'
~ difficult 10 believe-how expert they
are al thieving in some parts of Missouri.
The story is, that man carried saw
log to a mill, ,ha, it might be cut into
boards. The mill was engaged for that
day, and the owner would no, insure The
safety Of the log till the next morning
unless the customer would sit astride OF
the log, and watch it all nigbi.-The
man agreed TO comply, but fell into
slight doze some time in the night, which
the thieves took advantage of, and stole
away the wood of the log without suspI-
ciop. and left the man a.slraddle OF the
bark!

WiscOnsin hing shop.

The announcement we msde last week, on the
authority of the Little Fort Porcupine, that Geo.
Smith had sloped for Scotland, as it naturally
should, created some alarm among holders OF
Wisconsin rags in this vicioity, and 1t is even
said, we confess on very shabby authority, that
some were induced to sacrifice from 10. 10 90
per cent TO get rid Of the paper. The same ver-
table authority also atiirms positively tina, Smith
has no, left Chicago, and the Circumstance that
no mention Of the fact Of his leaving is made in
tho Chicago papers is appealed tofo proof OF the
statement. This shows how much credit is due
TO all the other statements from the quarter we
have alluded to, and what reliance is TO be plac-
cd in the Chicago papers for correct information
concerning Geo. Smith and his Wisconsin rag
shop. Wenow state, from information the most
positive, thai George smith has left Chicago for
scotland, and has taken considerable Specie with
him, and further, that lie has Withdrawn all his
lands, which Tor the last year or two have been
advertised in the Chicago papers, from sale, and
best. People may draw such differences from
these facts as they please but 10 Us they look
amazingly like the preparatory steps to wind
up and blow out. We learn. further that the
money is still redeemed at ! per cent. in Chica.
CO. but that the merchants there are watching
the movements going on with much suspicion,
and none ventures to 60 10 sleep with any am
cunt Of the money in his possession. similar
caution is exercised by some Of the merchants
here. These ais facts; and any one that will go
to the trouble we have been to, can satisfy him
self that they are facts And III due 10 the pub
lie that they should I've in possession of these
facts. And further, the editor, or penny -a-ner,
who, from ignorance, or malice. or from motives
OF speculation,wi seek to suppress ihem,or gloss
them over, il deserving of no credit or counle-
nance in community Of honest men. The char
ter Of this Wisconsin concern is repealed, reso-
luton is about passing congress annllhng all its
pretension 10 legal existence from the begin
ming, its end has come, Smith can make no fur
ther speculations under lis name, and " hat more
natural, under these circumstances, than that the
frsid Scot, who came here solely to make money,
should gather up all he can and leave. and ha,.
ing left, is it likely he will ever return He may
have left enough 10 meet his liabilities, but if ho
has, be is prodigy among financiers.
