BY Telegraph from the Louisville Journal,


In the Senate, shortly after the opening of
the chamber this morning, the galleries were
densely crowded by an attentive auditory to
hear the discussion that was likely to take
place upon the special order of the day-Mr
Calhoun's resolutions relative to the Mexican
war.
Mr.. Calhoun took the floor, and in speech
of considerable length maintained bis position
advanced in his resolutions He declared the
further prosecution Of the war unnecessary;
that in its inception il was wrong, and produc-
ed solely by the act of the President and not
by any act of Mexico. He denied that there
had been adequate cause for the commence
ment of hostilities, and that the existing state
Of things had been brought about without just
or sufficient reason.
He strenuously urged the withdrawal of the
troops now in Mexico to defensive line, to
be held till a satisfactory treaty of peace shall
have been ratified between Mexico and the u.
States. He stated that he had originally OPP
posed the war for reasons other than now Of
fered; but its speedy termination is now coun-
seiled by impending dangers menacing the pros
perity and happiness Of the United States. In
its continuation we are threatened by an inn
mense and heavy national debt, and will of
necessity be compelled to employ and sustain
large standing army with all its concomitant
CNllS ullhC ucHOidllLlHS III llS lHuutIlCtS upon
large portion of our citizens, as we'll as en-
dangering the permanence of our civil and re-
ligious institutions
He denounced the proposition fof further
prosecution of the war in the hope of securing
greater chances of obtaining indemnities By
its longer continuance, and finally endanger-
ing our free institutions by the annexation of
such portion of foreign territory as may be thus
acquired by force ofarms.
He opposed the Presidents recommended

made. All government appears to be at an
end.-The country must be thoroughly subiu
gated, and its Nationality, if it ever possessed
any, be extinguished."
