Ter give up the whole subject altogether: ,
Mr.. CRAWFORD Ga wished to oiier an anena-
ment authorizing the Pre- sdent 10 use such forces as IN

A resolution providing Tor al evening session was
Mr.. HOUSTON (Texas) made an Intellectual at
tempt to have the Mexican Protec.orate resolution
taken up.
The resolutions on the subject of British aggressons
Mr. TOOMBS (Gsa.) repeated his remark of Satur-
day, that he wanted the British ships taken. Tine
resolutions not worth the paper they are written on
Mr.. HAMMOND Is c. disagreed with the Senator
from George. He was not willing TO be Struggled
into ar by an amendment to an amendment. 1t the
British belgerent, e us throw with all due
solemnity the bloody spear. II we must have war
let us declare w.r after dignifed confederation. A
war with England will be the most moment us event
that has happened in the past three centpres per,
hsps in s past Perhaps ho.tiites with England
are sooner OF later Inevitable; aud when 1t should
come no believed England would be rushing on her
fate Let us avail ourselves of the chance all )rded
BY these resolutions to avoid until it be forced on u.s.
an event which, whenever it occurs, will change the
face OF human affairs.
Mr.. CRITrENDEN (Ky.) also spoke in
vave tone sdvokDs the Senate to do nothing ashy,
but ~ proceed with firm and determined but caution,
steps. The resolutions of the Committee on Foreign
Affairs sufficient TO express the sentiments OF the
American people; and IT would be unworthy OF both
great nations to indulge in querrelsome actions. Let
England be informed that we require reparation and
il be refused, we have then right to stand on our
own grounds He agreed with Mr.. Toombs that we
cannot assent to discuss the right OF visitation or
search 1t would be unworthy of this Govern nent to
enter into any discussion on that subject. We have
TO deal with acts only and require England 70 dis
avow them and forbear.
Mr. WILSON Mass. having reconsidered his
amendment, said that it wa not in order ossmuch as
it proposed to confer power on the Pre- dent by the

hoped that orders had been given to sink or capture
