an effect on the country. tie ielt as Kl'uiy
towards the Senator from Michigan, as any
one did; but he would not row express his
feelings, because he Thought the Senator
had received as much from the Senator
from Arkansas, as he could conveniently
digest in day, (Iaughter) The Senator
from Arkansas piefaced his remarks, BY sta
ting that he would not strike vanqushed
man nor dig coruse from its grave; and
then pitched pell nell into an attack on'he
Wing party. From this, it was to be suppos-
ed, the Wing parry was neither dead nor
vanqnished. Three years ago, certain
statesmen asserted that the Union was IN
danger, and to preserve il, made great per-
sona sacrifices.
1t was now generally asserted that our
peaceful relations with the world are to be
disturbed I've candidy believed there was
no more danger Of war now, than OF
dissolution Of the Union three years ago
He was opposed 10 all these resolutions,
but consoled himself with the reflection,
that all the fcrocious things are intended
entirely in PickwickIan sense, though
there was danger that the Senate would not
act up with the dignity of Mr.. Pickwick,
in the crying out of alarms OF war with
Great Britain.
He saw by the last news from England,
that white we were gravely talking, with
long faces, upon the probability Of war,
they have been giving banquet to our min
lister. at that banquet they toast ed The Qneen
and the President, and with patriotic lore
cast, they went further, and complimented
the President who is to b. They took up
the guest, onr minister, and put it ON 10
him about as thick as did the Senator from
Arkansas, this morning, on the Senator
from Michigan. {Great Iaaghtett
This showed the way they feel over the
water there, and among the people Of this
country there was no excitement, there was
no lear of any war. There was greater
tempest in the bosom of the Senator from
California at this moment, regarding hi:
railroad bill, than there was regarding for
eIgn affairs; in his anxiety, that Senator
did what few others did, listened to hin
with Impotence, (Iaughter) but there was
something contagious m this debate. Th'
grave and deliberate Senn.or from Massa
chusetts, yesterday, spoke, and before HI
sat down, did something that sounded war
like The Senator from Georgia rose t.
counsel peace and declared war before h,
sat down.
Fearing he might do something similar
he would say no more, but urge the Sena,
to 90 to business on some practical Ieglsla
