Correspondence qf the Jam‘. q/‘Commerce.
MONDAY, J an. 26.
The facts stated by’ Mr. Cass in his
speech, to-day, are important. He speaks
on authority, when he states the character
of the advicesthat this Government has
received. It is amazing that if this Gov-
ernment is also assured officially of the
fact that Great Britain is making exten-
sive and formidable miiitary preparations
on this Continent, the Pr-esi lent does not
recommend some preparations on our
part. Does not this shew that the Pres-
ident intends to submit the question to
arbz.'trati'on .7 '
Mr. Mangum submitted a proposition,
as a substitute for the Oregon Notice, de-
(flaring that it is expedient to submit the
question to arbitration. It will come up
on the 10th February.
Nion-In!er_ferc/ice.—Mr. Allen moved that
the Senate take up his motion for leave to
introduce his Resolution, declaring the
principles which will govern the United
States in regard to the interposition of
European powers in the political affairs of
independent American nations.
Mr. Cass spoke, at length,in-favor of the
Resolution, though not in its present form.
He considered it necessary to correct the
erroneous impressions entertained in Eu-
rope of the character and extent of the
grinciple assumed by Mr. Munroe and air.
olk.
He considered this Resolution as a pro-
test against the dangerous doctrine of Eu-
ropean interference in American affnirs——
against the applicaiton to us of the Euro-
pean “balance of power,” which had delu-
ged Europe in blood,and suppressed every
germ of popular liberty in Europe ; against
the right of Great Britain to make war up-
on Buenos Ayres because B.Ayres makes
war against Monte Video ; against the siib-
version of the governments of free and in-
dependent nations of America, and the
re-colinization of their possessions by Eu-
ropean powers. Against these principles
the United States must contend as if for
existence. They must be resisted “at any
and all hazard.” The declaration of Mr.
Monroe and Mr. Polk would go for noth-
ing, unless responded to by the Senate
and House of Representatives. The Res-
olution proposed no specific course; it did
not commit us to do any particular act at
any particular time. It left action to fur-
ther consideration and future events.-
Sufficientfor the day is the evil thereof.
Mr. Cass repeated what he had said
‘aome weeks ago—that,if the United States
followed up their measure in regard to Or-
egon, and England did not recede from
her pretensions, there must be war! He
had, therefore, advocated measures for
preparation; for which he had been de-
nounced, in unmeasured terms, by the or-
gans of the stock-jobbers. But, thank
God, there were interests in this country,
paramount to those of stock-jobbing,—to
which be appealed for the defence of the
honor and interests of this country. There
were no proofs whatever that the govern-
ment of Great Britain was disposed to ac-
cede to any thing short of the “Canning
line.” The declaration of Lord John Rus-
sel, on the 5th of April, was still the rule
ofthe British Government. He was un-
thor-ized to say;that this Government had
not, by the late arrivals,received any advi-
ccs which shewed that there had been
any favorable change, on the part of Gt.
Britain, on this subject.
Mr. Webster. Have they made
mission at all!
Mr. Ca-ss. They have. But nothing
that at all changes the state of things.
He read a‘ passage from the Journal des
De'*a.'s, the official organ of the French
Government, to show that France had ta-
ken umbrage at the preparations making
by En‘gl‘a-nd- and demanded the cause of
them, and that England had replied that
I feel
authorised to state, said Mr. C. that this
Government knows officially that exten-
sive and formidable military preparations
are making on this Continent!
Mr. Calhoun said that, if it was the in-
tention to continue the discussion, he
would take part in it. But it could not be
supposed that the Resolutions would pass
the Senate. ,_;
Mr. Allen said that it was purposed to
move its reference to the Committee on
Foreign Relations, and he vindicated him-
self from the charge that his introduction
of the subject was disrespectful to the
Committee on Foreign Affairs. He wished
to know whether the gentleman from S.
C. disputed his right to do this. Mr. Al-
Mr. Calhoun:
Proceed, sir. Mr. Allen: I wish an an-
swer now. Mr. Calhoun: Iwill answer
at my leisure. He referred to the Reso-
lutions about Slavery introduced by Mr.
But he would bring to the book
these men of short memories and devious
ways. He proceeded to refer to prece-
any ad-
dents justifying his course, by Mr. Cal-'
houn’s own example.
‘’ There is no doubt, by the way, of the
truth of the rumor that Mr. Allen and Mr.
Calhoun lately had a violent, personal
quarrel, in secret session, and that they
are at daggers drawn.
Mr. Calhoun, in his reply, showed that
Mr- Allen’s precedents had no bearing on
the case.
He opposed the whole principle of_ the
Resolution. He c-onsidie-red‘ the declara-
tion of Mr. Monroe as ill-advised. The
pntoriiily of it was due to .Mr. Adams. Mr.
Adams attempted, afterwards, to carry it
into effect in the Panama mission-. The
result was that, in six weeks, his admin;
istration was prostrate on this floor. He
(Mr. C.), assented to it, at the time, with-
out reflection. ' '
Mr. Cass‘ replied, and enforced his
views. ’ ‘
Mr.'.I. M. Clayton. showed that the dem-
fooratic party ‘20 yearsago licld,th‘e.doc-
_trln_e of this resolutionas heterodox and’
‘dangerous. Mr. Buchanan and Mr. Polk
‘Both voted against the Panama mission.-
5
He read extractsfrom Mr. Polk’: remark
on the occasion. . ‘ '
He was not
at present, for or against the abstract pro-
positions of the resolution.
Mi-'.Simmons had no apprehension of any
resolution. The principle of it had been
acquiesced in for twenty years by all par-
ties and every administration. He was
sorr to hear that the principle was now
heldyas a party principle; he had suppos-
ed it to be an Aiiiierican principle.

In the House, Mr. Treadway offered a
resolution, to be taken up as a substitute
for the Oregon Bill, for authorising the
President to give the notice two years af-
ter the expiration of the present session.
Mr. King, of Ga., offered another in fa-
vor of subjecting the Oregon question to
arbitration.
Mr. Preston King, of N. Y., submitted
a resolution that the Oregon debate be
terminated on Monday next.
TUESDAY, Jun. 27.
A debate of considerable interest took
place in the Senate, to-day, on the Bill for
augmenting the Navy.
Mr. Webster’s resolution calling for the
correspondence which may have taken
place between the governments of the U.
States and of Great Britain as to the Ore-
-gon question,since the last communication
of the President on the subject, was call-
ed up; but, at the request of Mr. Sevier,
Mr. W. consented that it should lie till
the day after to-morrow.
Public Defcnces'.—Tlie Bill for the aug-
mentation of the Navy was strenuously
advocated by Mr. Fairfield, as requisite
for the ordinary exigencies of peace, widt-
out reference to those of war. But, in his
opinion, there were strong indications
abroad ofa deep hostility to American ia-
stitutions on the part of the monarcliies hf
Europe; and that unless those institutions
should be checked and their influence
counteracted, every government of Europe
must totter and fall. A contest between
these systems must therefore take place,
sooner or later.
In regard to the Oregon qucstion——that
afforded apreseut and pressing cause of
hostilities. He was not sure that we could
escape war, without dishonorable conces-
sions. The tone of the British press, the
declarations in Parliament, andathe great
warlike preparations, all showed that a
war with the United States was contem-
plated. As commerce furnished nearly
the whole of_ our revenue, every part of
the country was interested in protecting it.
Mr. Benton opposed the Bill, out and
out, as unnecessary and unprecedented in
its form. It left every thing to the Presi-
dent's discretion, whether we had war or
not. The present establishment was suf-
ficent as a peace establishment, and ought
not to go any higher. It i'equired limita-
tions, not additions. VVere we prepared
to double the peace establishment at once?
\Vliatever was put on would stay on,——
though we never had any war. lVere we
to have a permanent war establishment in
a country whose destiny was peace, and
which has had but two and a half years of
war in sixty years’! Great Britain did
not do that. Her war navy was 18
miflions in annual expense; and only five
in peace. This Bill would require ten
thousand adlitional men, at an expense of
two hundred dollars each. This Bill and
the estimates of the regular Bill would
carry up the expense of the Navy to 12
millions of dollars a year. There was no
necessity for a Navy now. Order and
safety were established on the high seas;
our merchant vessels were as safe on the
ocean as in Chesapeake Bay; and our
Navy had better be kept in the Chesa-
peake, so that the money be spent at home,
instead of abroad. There was no more
necessity for a naval force in the Mediter-
ranean than in the Chesapeake,and it would
be well, according to the modern idea of
distributing offices, to send them around
to each port, to give all-a share of the ex-
penditures. I see no necessity for a war
measure to-day, sir, and I sliall vote for
none. Iwill agree to let it lie over for
some months, and see what events may
bring forth. But I see nothing around me
that indicates the prospect of a war.
Mr. Dickinson, of N. Y., remarked that
a powerful party had been prostrated by
its opposition to national defences. He
believed that the Senator from Missouri,
on the occasion of the North-Eastern
boundary troubles, voted to give a vast
discretionary power to the President. He
would concur with the gentleman in his
general views, but here, as in the case just
mentioned, there was an exception.
He did not suppose that Great Britain
.was disposed to seek a war, and he con-
,e.urred with the Senator from Mo., that the
late news was decidedly pacific. He had
said nothing of the Oregon question. If
our title was doubtful, let us compromise
it; if it was clear and unquestionable, he
would not yield the most ban-en 1ock_
Mr. Hannegan spoke in favor of the
Bill, and offered an amendment app:-op;-i-
ating the proceeds of the pulblic lands in
addition, to the increase of the steam nalvy.
The Senate went into Executive Session
without taking the question. i
In the House, Mr. Blake, from the Com-
mittee on Military Affairs, reported a Bill
authorizing the President to accept the
the service of volunteers in organizing
the militia, &c.
The Oregon debate was continued by
Mr. Douglass, of Illinois, in favor of the
notice, and ’Mr. Rowley, of Va., against it.
Ill!‘-‘Campbell, of N. Y., spoke in favor
of_‘ giving the notice, and accompanying it
with a declaration that the U. States will
accept the 49th parallel as :a compromise.
, I ‘ WEDNESDAY, Jan. 28-‘.
In the SE_i\'A'i-‘it, to-day, the Navy Aug-
mentation Bill was again discussed, but no
question was taken upon it.‘ Mr. Bagby,
disposed to commit himself
any evil resulting from the discussion of
Afte_r some fe_\"i'i ivords'from ot,h_ers, leave‘
M?"
‘an.
of Alabama, earnestly resisted it as an ex-
travagant appropriation for a peace estab-
lishmem, and utterly inadequate for war.
He gave reasons for his beliefythat there
was no reasonable probability, at the pre-
sent time, of any war with Great Britain,
and that all the war panic which had swept!
over the country, originated from the dis-
cussions_in Congress.
His part of the country, although it fur-
nished, so large a portion of the exports,
and paid so great a share of the public rev-
enue, and was peculiarly exposed to the
inroads of an enemy, and the Navy was its
proper defence; but he had been taught
l
‘the amount of the appropriations for this;
‘object, very little of the benefit would?
enure to the Southern Atlantic coast.
I Mr. Miller, of New Jersey, in an argu-3
ment against the Bill, remarked upon the
editorial article of the Union, which ap-
peared this morning, and from the tenor
or which he was led to believe that nego-
tiations would soon be resumed.
Mr.‘ Hannegan stated, however, upon
his own responsibility, that the article
mentioned ought to have no weight with
the Senate; for he knew that its v_iews
did not meet the approbation of the Presi-
dent. The President had never seen the
araiclebefore it was published. Mr. lVeh-
ster here asked, whether this was a usual
thing, or an exception to the general prac-
tice. After some merriment at this sally,
the Senate went into Executive session.
In the House, to-day, Mr. C. J. Inger-
soll offered a motion that the Oregon
question be taken out of Committee on
Thursday, the 5th of February; but the
House was not disposed to countenance
it. The Oregon question was debated by
Messrs. Owen, of Iud., Thurman, of Ohio,
and Thompson, of Pa., all in favor of Ore-
gon—the whole or none.
Mr. Holmes, of South Carolina, has the
floor for to-morrow.
,.r_- THURSDAY, Jan, 29.
The SENATE was but a short time in
session to-day, and adjourned without go-
in'g into Executive Session.
Mr. Webster’s Resolution, asking the
President to communicate any correspon-
dence our Government may have had with
Great Britain on Oregon, since the delive-
ry of his Message, if not incompatible with
public safety, passed the Senate.
Mr. Speight, of‘ Miss., then took the
floor on the Bill for increasing the Navy,
&c., and made along speech in opposition
to the measure, after _which the Senate
adjourned.
Housi~:.—-Mr. La Sure, the member elec-
ted in place of Mr. Slidell of La., appeared
this morning and took his seat.
A motion to terminate the debate on the
Oregbn Question on the 7th of February,
was voted down by 84- yeas to 512 nays.
The House then went into Committee
of the Whole.
Mr. Holmes, of S. C., addressed the
Committee in opposition to the Notice,
which he considered a war measure.
He was followed by Mr. Ewing, of Tom,
who opposed the Notice also.
Mr. Baker, of lll., closed the debate in a
glowing speech in favor of the Notice
under any and every contingency.
The Committee rose and the House adj.

In the House, Reports were called from
Standing Committees. Among the bills
presented, wasgone from the Committee on
Commerce, in favor of remitting the duties
on the articles consumed in the late New
York fire. Auotlier bill was reported from
the Committee on Revolutionary Claims,
for the erection of a monument to Gen.
Warren.
The House then went into Committee
of the Whole.
Mr. Hoge, of lll., spoke in favor of the
Notizc, and was particularly severe upon
every person who had opposed it. He
overhauled South Carolina and Virginia
particularly, for their position on the
question.
He was followed by Mr. lVick, of Iud.,
who was equally severe on South Carolina.
He was in favor of the Notice now.
His replies to South Carolina and others
were received with bursts of laughter. ,
On motion of Mr. Hopkins, of Va., the
Oregon debate was then laid aside to take
up the bill for establishing Post Routes in
Texas. Upon this Mr. Culver, of N. Y.,
took the floor, and proceeded to make one
of the best speeches of the present session.
His speech was a temperate and able ex-
position of the high—handed measures of
the South, in throwing down the barriers
of the Constitution.
Mr. McConnell, of Ala., got the floor
and replied in his own peculiar style. The
Texas P. 0. bill was then reada third time
and passed, (the Committee having risen
and rcported,) andtlie House adjourned
till to-morrow at 12 o'clock.

THE TOIVN RECORDS.
VVe had an exemplification, at the late
fire in Shetucket st. of the danger and fol-
ly of having no safe place in "which to
keep the Town Records. It is true they
were not destroyed by the fire. The dan-
ger however, was so imminent as to ren-
der necessary their hasty removal from
the Town Clerk’s office. But suppose the
fire to have occurred in the building in
which these Records are kept, instead of
the building udjoining—VVhere now had
been the Records of the Town of Nor-
wich for two centuries’! And whose is
the Insurance Office that could indemni-
fied us for suc/i a loss’! Yet every day
that these Records are sdffered to remain
where they now are, and‘ have been for
years, they are exposed to such a fate,aud
the citizens of Norwich to just such :1 ca-
lamity—a calamity in its very nature ir-
reparable. lf we are wise, we shall be ad-
monished, by what has recently occurred,
of the propriety and obvious necessity, of
early and eflicicnt measures for providing,
what the convenience of the citizens, as
well as the sccurity of the public Records,
have so long demanded—a good, substan-
tial, fire proof building in which to keep
the Town Clerk’s Office..

Titfor Tat.-——Mr. Bennett of the Herald
states that he has commenced fifteen or
twenty libel suits against Major Noah for
articles recently published in the Sunday
Times-—being, we presume, the “Black
Mail Lectures” which have made that pa-
per almost as popular as the Mercury un-
der the refreshing “stated preaching” of
Dow, Jr. VVe learn farther that the Ma-
jor is fully up to snufl, and announces his
intention of bringing thirty or forty prose-
cutions against Bennett. Every time
Major is served with a writ, slap! go two
_wr_its upon Beunett’s, shoulder. Bennett
will lose at this game unless he plays it
_ very extensively.—.N'. Y.- ’1'rt'bun'c.

Cnuzurv and CLOD, two surly clowns,
As reeling home one night;
From alehousc, where their sappy crowns
They’d soaked in sad’ning plight,
\Vlii1e all the azure-tinted sky
Spread out its clear expanse,‘
And all the glittering train on high
Seemed o‘cr their heads to dance—
Quoth Cluinp to Clod, “I tell thee what! .
“I only wish that I
“As much good pasture-land had got
“As I can sec blue sky.” . -
“And I," quotli Clod to Clump, “should like
“Thy wish to beat by far,
“And have, to prove a wealthier ryke,
“An ox to every star.”
“Ah! but,” says Clunip, “to veed them all
‘*\Vliat pasture could he vound ’!”
“Enough,” says Clod, “vor great. and small;
“I’d vecd them on thy ground.”
“\Vlmt! and without my leave!” says Clump.
“A y, that I would,” says Cloddy.
Quotli Cluinp, “then thee my hide shall thump,
“Or I will bumb thy body.”
So t‘o’t they went, both Clamp and Clod,
As fast as list could tag,
Till both lay sprawling on the sod,
. And scarce a list could wag.
“Now where's your oxen,Clod '3" says Clump.
“And where," says ClO( , “your ground '1" '
