Sir. FRIES then resumed and concluded his speech in favor of giving the notice and clinr.inz the whole of Oregon. Mr. BURT, of South Carolina, next addressed the Committee, upon the general bearing and merits of the question, and in favor of giving the notice, as provided for in the Treaty, that we claim and intend to occupy pII of the Oregon territory, up to the 4i)th decree of Xoath latitude. Mr. DAVIS, of Kentucky, followed and tpoke his hour out in advocating the gronnd assumed in the report of the minority of the Committee on Foreign Relations, that the giving of the notice belonged to the treaty making power, and not to Congress, and in attacking the Administration for its inconsistencies upon this subject. He believed our right to the territory up to the 49th degree of North latitude to be unquestionable, and would not surrender one inch of it. war or no war! Beyond that line there was ground for compromise. Mr. HEAD, of North Carolina, next addressed the Committee in favor of giving - i ; - . l i.l..,.ff...
