It is better to defend the eloor sill, than ihe hearth sti ne the porch th.in the nlpir. National character is a ri h-r treasure than golJ or silver, and exercises a morn I influence, in the iio-ir of ei niger, which, it not powe r itself, is its surest ally. Thus lar, ours isj untarnished, and let us all join, however separated by paity e.r.by space, o to preserve it. If we cannot recede, can wc stand still ? No, Mr. President; io this, as in all ihe other element of national power and grea'ness, our duty and our destiny are onwards.

I eht ho(i that this controversy can be adjusted without wr. If war do come, I repeat, it w ill be lhe nignil for the gr.at fioal conlhct between Uu.-opean systems of government, and of those ire;it principle of democratic liberty winch have made thi republic auch a great and powerful nation. I ehi hope these resolutions will lie over. We hive been flooded with petitions und mcmorijls, ami tho committees vvhos' province it will be to act up ti them, have nut yet been constructed. The very committee to which these resolutions must be referred, has not yet been formed. My only objection i to give that publicity to this movement which the adoption of lhe resolution would necesparily involve; and thus additional exasperation be pr-vduccd an exasperation which it is the duty of all to check, not to aggravate. Hvery thing said and done here will be scrutir.izfd with the utmost ligidity on the other M Je e.f Ihe water ; e-urely, then, every consideration fehould tcich us the wisdom of care and caution, I think. I am ejuite willing that we should follow our citizens in Oregon wilh our protective shield. I nm willing to see the President extend his favor to them individually not territorially, pending the adjustment of the differences between the two countiics. Hut I am opposed to ar vthing being done in contravention of the treaty of 1820, and sincerely hope that the President, may not bo stimulated to any rash and sudden action leading to a contravention of that treaty, so long as there is the slighter ground to anticipate an amicable settlement of tho negotiation. Again, I am willing to provide any military force sny dragoon force-any military posts necessary for lhe protection and defence of the emigrants to Oregon, always provided lhat the execution of these measures be not incompatible, in any way, with the treaty e.f 1820. It has been the sul joct of speculation both here and in Europe, ibat Oregon may become an independent government. That thing is impossible. When the American emigrants look back to the graves and recall the heroic deeds of the. r fathcrt in tho cause of liberty and America, they will never

I hope not. The senator from Nrth Carolina has treated this question ;is though it were equivalent to a elcchn -itioti of war. lie. Fats he is disposed to trust all this subject to the Pifside-nt. We see by tho President's in ssjige, that he lias gono about as far as he can go. The senator must then mean that the submatter of these resolutions is to be trusted to the discretion of the President of the United Slates. Mr. MA.NfiL'M.

The President uit.lcrstanil.s the whole state of this question ; and from him I Isii o all inquiries into the state of emr armament to proceed; not from subordinates, but fiom the P.xeculive itself Mr. ('ASS. The senator uses the term subordinates. May I ask to whom he refers? Mr. MANdUM. I mean tho heads of departments, with whom tint heads of committees must necessarily have communication. Mr. Allem. I understand hirn, sir, precisuly as he has now Muted. He de-ire tint, before Congress moved, the President should recommend military preparations. Now, o far from Mr. Van Uuren having recommende-d the military preparition, authorized in the act to which I have alluded, I have not the least doubt, from my knowledge uf the man, and the moderation of his whole character, tha he was absolutely astounded when he hearJ this power had been conferred upon him. Did he ask Congress to place the cn'ire militia of the country at his ltcck and call ? Did he ask Congress to give him the power of deciding on the question of war or peace during the recess of the session I Did he ask Congress to place ten millions of money at his disposal ! No. He communicated the facts to Copgrcs in regard to our foreign relations, and the progress of the negotiation, and then CongrcFs proceeded, as was its duty, lo judge what legislation shou'd follow on that disclosed state of firta. What did the President do in the present case ! lie follows a similar course to that which has heretofore been pursued; and now it is our business to assume the responsibility of judging, togelhrr with the President, of what the emergency reepuire in regard lo our national defence.

Mr. Ciss rose to reply, but gave way f,,r A message to It received from tlie" House of Kepresentatives, jennnuncing the death of the Hon. J II. PkyToe, of Tennessee. On the lGth, the debate was continued, of which the following synopsis and the result is gien in the Union : Mr Niles argued at considerable let gth in favor of the passage of the ieso!utions, chiefly on the ground thst the negot ation between the two countries bad reached that point when it was absolutely necessary that Congrefg should do its duty in the assertion of the national right and maintneance of the national honor. Timely preparation lor war, wa. in his opinion, the best security for continued pca e. He did not anticipate a war. He believed that (Jreat Uritain, on finding T.iat the United täte were not to Le bullied, would very readily come to amicable terms. Mr. Crittenden followed on the opposite i Je, reiterating; lhe vi w s a,,J a.rSun,rot ut fortli iri Mr. .Nlaugum's f jecli yesterday, making, however, several attempts to elicit such explanations from the i'utinguisLrd Senator from Miehigau as might have a tendency to impair the foice cf hie remarks in moving the adoption of ihe resolutions. Uat in this Mr. Crittemloti altogether Lileel, the Ser at r from Michigan rejea'ing his pre vtous declarations w hich were certainty lucid and inte-iliiible enough as to the probe1 1 ity ot a war in case, after the ear notice. Great Britain persisted in the practical assertion of her claim to any portion i.f Oregon Territory. The deba'e was contioued by Mr. Uebter,who conterded at some length that the m.nncr in w hich the lesolutions had been nitn duced was calculated to e xcile an alaim that mi ht be cxtiemely i r judicial to the iutne sts f the country. 'lo the icsolu'ioos tlicmsclvcs he saw nothing tu couiemn. He was quite wiilii-g that preparations for war should be ma.le, bu; be iiisiad(thal they should be made quietly. This called out Mi. Sevier, who, in a biief.but eloquent and foicible speech, defended the resolutions, and iiutiu.ntl v scouted the idea that any feai of piovuking Kngland, or of" elistuitii-g buiiresi specniitions should he al'owi d to e peiate agiimt the adoption of such bohl and open opeiationj for the sccuiity of the country as the piesent cneumstar.ces demanded. Mr. Üeirien fallowed em the opposite siJe, and was succeeded by Mr. Allen, in d fence of the lesolution. Messrs. Cla)ton, llreeve, and Wuudhiidge also touk pait m the debate, which was finally closed about half-past thiee o'clock, when the resolutions wete j ut, and unn.i'nou aJopted fu ty-six Senators (the full number present) vttmg in the affiimative. 9 Sluic or Iiitliaua -lit iu rit ks C ounty.
