the senator from Missouri, Certainly he
was the last man here from whom expect
ed an unkind look or an unkind allusion.
AsI said before, upon a certain occasion
here, he has been 10 great extent my poll-
tical teacher; and, sir, learned from nm
on this Oregon question more than frem any
other living man. | learned it from his
speech on the Ashburton treaty, which from
that hour has been to him the. constant

apainst the negotator who made that treaty,

- mainly from that speech my principles and
