In the Senate, to day, several memorials
were ofTercd.in favor of the passage of Mr.
Mt-rrick’s Bill reducing the rates of postage.
On motion of Mr. Merrick, that bill was"
made the special order ofthe day for Mun-

for the session is wearing away.

The ‘Oregon Question.--Mr. Seuiplr.-’s
resolution for the te-rrnination of the joint oc-
cupancy of Orcgon came up. E
Mr. Buchanan irrtinmted an intention of
speaking on the subject, but he reriiarketl
that it was the desire oftbe Senate to go

‘VVhcreas the great questions of ppblic policy,
now presented to the people of this Union, demand
their careful and dispassioniite consideration. and
their decision, if in accordance with the principles of
truth and justice, will vitally affect the interests of
the nation, and especially promote the welfare of the
Young Men of Coiinecticut; and whereas on the
subjects of the Protection of American Industry-—
the disposition ofthe public lands, the regiilations of
the currency,and nearly all the other greatquestions
which interest the people, erroneous and ruinous
doctrines, are prointilgated and sustained by the
Locofoco part-y,-—VVe the Vt’hig Young Men of the
State of Connecticut. in General Convention as-
sembled on this auspicious occasiomfthe Birth day
ofthe FATHER ofliis Country. wishing to express

in the most public manner, our political sentiments,
do resolve as follows :-

1. Resolved, That we regard as first in
jrnportance to the welfare of our State and
Nation, a firm-adherence [.3 me protective
system. as embodt-.--.l In the present Tarifi-—
ameasure of Relief which was carried by
the ceaseless and untiring exertions of the
Whigs in the last Congress, against every
effort onthe part of Locofoism to ensure its
defeat, and in spite of the most discouraging
opposition on the part of the Executive
branch ofthe Government.

‘,2. Resolved, That ve pledge ourselves to
--support and maintain the present Trrifi‘. a-
gainst the assaults of its enemies open or dis-
.gursed,bel1cvirig that by ll-3. benign influence
it has already restored confidence and pros-

-s-f3l‘nfl“‘l “'l‘ .e throughout the nation.

‘-3- Resolverl. That we rejoice in the fact

" ll‘:-‘:1 lltls gt’-.-sit measure of Vllhig policy, has

fat‘ exceeded the sanguine expectations of its
friends, as well as disappointed the malig-
nant predictions of its enemies; inasmuch as
 has not only furnished adequate protection
and constant well par id employment to Amer-
ican industry, but is also pouring into the
national ’[‘re..isury a full and abundant Reve-
nue, amply sufficient to supply the wants of
an administration, cooduc-’.ed,tis the next will
be, with proper economy.

4. Reso.’.i:erl, That were this great meas-
ure in which the principle of protection, not-
withstanding the opposition of Martin Van
Buren and his adherents, has so signally tri-
umphed, the only benefit to the country oc-
casioned by the success of the Whig party at
the last presidential election, the Whigs of
'-Connecticut would feel fully rewarded by
this alone, for all their labors in that memor-
abl_e-and glorious’ struggle—-the event of
which ‘was only a fare taste of the far more
brilliant and enduring triumph which awaits
US in the approzichingcoritcst.

5. Resolved, That a recruited and increa-
sing r=3venue—-reviving trade and commerce
_—;rnd a general fa-eiing of confidence, aris-
ing from the belief that Whig measures will

. be sustained, unequivocally attest the correct-

ness of that comprehensive and beneficial
policy ofthe Vt7hig party, which is becom-
ing daily better appreciated by the strong
good sense of the people.

6. Resoli.-e./l, That we hold it to be a cori-
stituiional duty of the General Government,
to provide at sound National currvncy, of
equal value in every part ofthe Uuioii.

7. Rcsalcerl, That the interest ofthis Szatg
in that vast nation-il ',j,‘,',,,,-,3,-[y._,l,e p,,'bljc
l*”“l3- has never been :ilir~n:ited, and that so
tong as there is hope that justice may yet be
done to the old thirteen States, we shall nev-
er cease to demand our proportion of that_al-
most inexhaustible fund—-which, could it be
eqnitably distributed, would be a source of
immense wealth to this State--would educate
our children perf-ct our internal improve-
ments, pay all the expense of government, &.
relieve us forever from the burden of taxation.

8. Resolved. That in the course pursued
by our political opponents, with regard to
the public lands, we see a full and fair illus-

tration of the manner in which they are al- .

ways ready to sacrifice the interests of the
State to the requirements of party.

9. Resolved, That his Excellency Martin
Van Buren, late President of the United
Statlfs, has opp,‘ gratejul tlliank? fop having
bro en over is usua ru o o po icy an
committed himself on the subject of the
present tariff, and that we Cl‘ll.L'l‘l.tt‘.n of him
the same opinion which he expressed of that

o = cl shall continue our 0 0-
great measure, an , . . pp
sition to him and his rnessures, ‘both in priri-
ciple and detail.” _ ,

10. Resolved, ‘That we most cordially ap-
prove and accept the nomination of State

‘ officers, made by the late Whig State Con-

vention at New Haven, and we pledge our
undivided and unremitting exertions, from
this day till the first Monday'_of April next,

rious Whigs of Maryland, adebt of gratitude
for their glorious example to the Whigs of
the Union, in their late election—nnd on the
first Monday of April I844, we pledge our-

ance ofbusiness to-day. The Senate was

with instructions to inquire into the cxperli-
ency of reporting a resolution requesting the

Prcsident to notify the British Government

the late treaty for the mutual rendition of
criminals.

The motion was agreed to. The printing
ofthe documents was moved, and on this mo-
tion Mr. Adams spoke. He lamented that
an effort was making to excite a war against
England on the Slavery question; and that
a similar disposition was manifested on the
same subject, by a class of persons in Eng-
land againsfthis country. He compared this
excitement to the burning of a sulphur mine,
which rages fiercely and is extinguished.
