the United States before the annexation of
Texas, was considered.
It was opposed on the ground that the
goods were ta‘ en by private individuals,
not acting under the authority of the Uni-
ted States. The goods hal been forfeited 2
to the Government of Texas;iand_certain
i'rid'ividu-als seized upon and took them‘
away with an armed force. The amount v
is $57,000. . . '
The Bill waslaid on the table for the;
present.
- The Senate spent some time in Exec-,
utive session. ' I
In the House, there were some personal ;
explanations between Mr. Johnson of Ten.
and Mr. Bayley of~Virginia, as to their ar-ll
guinents in their late speeches on the Or- I_
egon "question.
Mr. W'inthrop offered a petition from=
the widow of Capt. Robert Gray, who.
discovered and gave the name to the river l
'Columbia,praying some assistance from:
the government. 2
' Several propositions for the adjustmcn
of the Oregon question were‘ offered by,
Messrs. Dargin, Pettit, Brown of Virginia,
and Tibbatts.
Mr. C. J. Ingersoll offered a resolution
for the termination of the Oregon debate!
on Monday, the 9th February. A motion 1
was madethat it be laid on the table,wliich
was agreed to, yeas 99, nays SS.

The House took upthe Oregon Resolu-
tion, and Mr. Jacob Thomson, of 1\'liss.,

tion by notice, and contending that the
United States cannot exercise the rights,
of erecting ports or granting lands to set?

Turzsnxv, Feb. 3.
In the SENATE, to day, Mr. Calhoun pre-
sented the Memorial of the Memphis Con-
vention, touching \Vestern improvements!
and national defences. Mr. Calhoun did,
not say that all the doctrines ofthc memo-3
rialists were constitutional, but he coinci-;
(led in most oftheir views, and considered
them as entitled to a deliberate examina-
tion by this body. On l\-Ir. C.’s motion,;
the subject was referred to a select Com-'
mittee of. five.
Mr. Hannegan reported a Bill from the
Committee on Roads and Canals, for the
improvement of certain rivers and harbors,
, The Navy Augmentation Bill was posts’
poned on account oftlie indisposition of
Mr. VVestcott, of Florida, who had the
floor thereupon. Some time was spent in
Evecutive sess-ion, upon the ordinary nom.
inations.
, In the HOUSE, DfOmgO0lQ offered a
project as a substitute for the Joint Res-"
ollution concerning Oregon, now before:
the Committee. ' ,
Many other‘ projects will be offered. It,
is evidentthat there is not nearly so much!
unanimity in the House now, upon tliisl
subject,as there was at the commenccment ‘
of the session. The more it is discussed, 5
the more doubtful and perplexed does it:
seem to be.
There is one point in this matter which;
deserves consideration, viz. that few or‘
none of those who have spoken, doubt the
justice of our claims up to 49, or the ex-
pediency of asserting them to that extent.
It appears to be taken for granted that
Great Britain will agree to that line which
‘she so lately and positively rejected when
pro osed by us.
he Oregon question was further dis-
cussed, to day, Mr. Lea‘-ce, of Me, who was
‘opposed to the Notice, and Mr. Sawyer,of
.0. who was in favor of it, and offered to
.maintain it in person,and by his arms. Mr.
Sawyer is the first volunteer, ‘so far as I’
'ha.ve heard, whéfhas offered his services in
".the- conflict that so. many seerri. toconsider

The vote for Lieut. Governor is deficient. four

l I//zprcssio/is at ll’r1sIn'n.g'on.—From the
‘up to Tuesday lllr: 3d inst, we conclude
ltliat the Diplomatic Correspondence re-l
lspcctiug Oregon was re-opened by Il'Tl'.,
;Packenlia_m, with a proposition that the
llast (published) letter of each to the other
‘should be mutually ivitlidrawn. This pro-
posal being acceded to at once re-opened
the Negotiation on the basis of Mr. Polk’s
offer to Compromise on the 4-fltli parallel,
which Mr. Pakenham so gruffly rejected
when made. It now became incumbent
on Mr. Pakeuham, in case his non-acccp-
tance is persisted in, to make a counter
proposition, which we infer he has done,
but of- what character we are not advised.
We think Illr. Buchanan, having tender-
ed his resignation of the post of Secretary
.of State, was nominated for the vacant
tithe debate on the Oregon business, nowfludgeship, and we heard that his nomina-
fbefore tlic Hous»-, on Monday next, at 3' tion was even sent to the Senate, but with-
drawn on the reception of Mr. Pakenham’s ,
.new overture —Mr. B. consented to retain
the State Department and make another
effort to settle the Oregon diffcreuce.——
The yeas and nays were ordered on tliis,l\Vhen this Negotiation is terminated,
and resulted: yeas 93, nays 56.
'l he Roll was then called, 186 answer-
ing.
The yeas and nays were tlten taken on
the debate on Monday next on the table,
and resulted yeas 86, nays 107.
So the motion to terminate the debate
was not laid on the table.
The yeas and nays were then ordered
on the iuotiou to terminate the ‘debate on
Monday next, and resulted—ycas 109,
So the House resolved that this
broad Oregon debate terminate next Mon-
day at 3 o'clock’.
On motion of Mr. McKay, of N. C., the
hour of meeting was made at 10 o'clock,
A. l\"l., till Monday, during the debate on
the Oregon question.
l\'Ir. Ratlibun, of N. Y._, moved that the
A House go into Committee of the VVhole on
fithe State of the Un3on.
This was carried.
Mr. Gentry, of Tennessee, having the
,floor from yesterdsy, proceeded to address
ltlie Committee on Oregon. l-le condemn-
cd_ Mr. C. .l. Ingersoll for having announc-
,ed that there was no correspoiideucc be-
‘tween the two Goveruinents of the two
countries since the delivery of the Mes-
age.
Mr. C. J. Ingersoll did not know any-
He had heard,
was opened by the lznglisb Minister, and
that this correspondence would lc laid be-
fore Congress at the earliest moment.
!\Ir. Gentry’s speech was able and elo-
quent in favor of Peace, and opposed to
liasty action.
He was followed by Mr. Dargin, of Ala.
in opposition to the Notice,
Mr. Delano, of Ohio, next took the floor,
,but the Reporter was compelled to lL‘fl\’e
to close this letter. It is now within a
few minutes of 5 o'clock and the House
has not adjourned.
ET? The Oregon debate occupied the House
of Representatives during the whole of Friday
and Saturday. Inmunorablo speclies
made bv as many anxious spouteivs.
The Hon. Truman Smith of this State, made
an able speech on ithis subject on Saturday. He
is represented as taking the ground for the No-
tice under proper modifications.
The Senate was not in session on either Fri-
day or Saturday.-

the first fair opportunity.
The House will vote to give the Notice,
in a guarded and peaceful shape, when it
votes at all on the subject, but is in no
hurry to act. The Senate is apparcntlv
inclined to await the result of the pending
Negotiations before acting at all decisive-
ly. We doubt wliether it will ever act on
the Navy Enlargement bill—-we are confi-
dent it -"ll not pass it—before the Nego-
tiation $brought to some issue.
The President will probably be in no
hurry to answer the inquiry of the Senate
for fresh advices respecting the Oregon
Question. If the resolution of inquiry had
not been passed some days since, we pre-
some it would not have passed at all.

“PUT DIE OUT?” “PUT ME OUT !”
The giiardiaus of the night were not a
little "surprised to hear, from a lowly gut-
ter, late one night last week, a sharp,
earnest cry ———‘Put me out .7’ ‘Put me out .7"
On drawing near, they found a lusty fellosv
sitting upon the curb, with his feet in the
gutter, and leaning against the iron posts
of one of the gas lamps. It was poor Tim
Lightbody, and the terrors of 1/ch'rz'um
tremens had overtaken him in the gutter.
I-lis brain was on tzre and his vitals burn-
iug up with rum._ And now, as l.e leaned
back against the post, so that the full
glare of the brilliant light shone into his
wild and blood-shot eyes, an lmp of the
Distillery whispered in his ear, that his
head was on fire! And poor Tim was in
a condition to ll_'sfe'fi‘ to the grinning, cliat-
tering sprite, and as it disappeared down
the neck of a bottle, he lifted up his voice
and cried lustily :—
‘Put me out! Put me out! Fire!‘ Spon-
ta-ne-ous combustion has, has, took place!"
Pm in a light blaze Sir! Away, away! ye
wirey goblins! Iknow ye all! Ye are
matches; Lucifer uratclies! Ye set me in
a blaze! Put me out! \Vater! \Vatcr!
Blow in my, my, ears, if they ain‘t burnt
out! Blow down my tliroat—quick! its
red-liot! Oli.! Somebody put me out!
Put me out !"'~—
And then the Charlies took him in
charge, and put /rim in the wat'cli-house,
where he raved till niorniug, and then-,

Hon. CLARK Bissi-:LL, of Norwulk, the
gentleman who heads the ticket as our cati-
didate for Governor, is one of the most
unobjectionable men in the State—against
whom even suspicion never breathed aught
to his discredit during an active public can
reer. He has long and favorably been
known to the citizens of this State as one
lof the most able and clear licaded jurists
{on the bench of our Supreme Court——and
lhis name will be a glorious talisman for
ievcry true Whig.-—Lz'tc//field E/zq.

The flcciilcnf at tile Carbonzlafe Jlfz'n.es.—
The Democrat of that place of the 30th
ult., says, that the bodies of two persons
were found the night before. One, named
Patrick Walker, was discovered a short
distance from the main road, lying on slate
of about eighteen inches depth, his head
supported by his right hand, and his shoul-
der by a piller. l-lis legs were broken,
probably by tl.e flying car boxes. It is
supposed that he lived’ for some time after:
and probably died of fatigue and hunger..
The other, Mark Breman, had been thrown:
by the wind upon the top of a loaded car,g
and was there‘ cauglit by the. falling roof,-l
which crushed him to death instau'.ly,.—l
Twelve bodies yet remain to be discover-i

Im/:o‘r.'rmt nova:/.*r~m in I/L3 Sou//i,.——\-‘l'e
find in the Tuscaloosa (Ala.) Journal, a
report submitted to the House of Repre-
sentatives oftliat‘ State, by :1 special com
mitté'c, upon the subject of the Domestic
Slave trade. It is important as in-licaling
on the part of the holders" of slaves, a
conviction of the ill tendencies of that
that traffic, upon the interest, safety and
charucler of the States which furnish tlre
market. The. report is accompanied by a
bill prohibiting, under severe pe;alt.'<.v, the
introduction of slaves or non residents.-
The objects of this important movement
are thus stated by the editor of the Jour-
nal :—"'l‘he cornuiittee complain, that our
slave population is becaming too niiine-
rous for the interest and security of the
State; and that non resident planters,.-‘end
their slaves among us and withdraw the
procceds of their labor to be expended in
other States. They further express the
fear that—as popular opinion is settling
itsclfagainst the continuation ofslavery in
Kentucky, Virginia and other States, we
may be overrun with this class of popula-
tion.” \Ve are rejoiced to see this streak
of light where the good ofall parties have
long and anxiously looked for the dawning
ofa better day. Enquiry fairly started,
land undisturbed, will effect all that the
rational pliilanthropist can hope for.

These considerations should not and
will not appal us. We shall not - be
deterred from the assertion of our rights_
by any foresliadowing of consequences.
But what are we to think of the States-
inanship of him who, like Mr. Allcii,
proposes, under such circumstances, to
put forth a positive defiance to all the‘

The resolutions of Mr. Allen ' are pre-'
emptory and sweeping. They are not,‘ iir
terms, confined to mere rigmarole of the‘
Fourth ofJuly stzirrip. They declare that
“ariyeffort ofthe Powers. of ‘Europe to‘
intermeddle in the social -organization or
]:oIiti'ci.l arrangements ofthe independent
nations of America, * * * would ir'i¢'t'i'r
the prompt 7'rs1'st(i7ice ofthe United States.”
‘l'l'ouId incur !’ \Vhy ‘II!()I;'/fl?’ At this
very moment the action which would ‘in:

and France have combined" toput an end-
to the murderous and apparently intermin-’
abie hostilities oftlic dissevcred fragments

countenance declarations which can only
expose us to the derision of the world‘.
The time has gone by for such foilies.-
Since Gen. Hull took Canada. by procln-‘
mation, we hav'e never been desirous of
further exhibitions of our. National ap-
titude for that sortof achievment. Let.us

of Mr. Allen, or resolve that it shall never

One oftbe most sensible propositions

{by the Hon. Truman Smith of Conn. To

lproposed that all, so desirous should hand
:their names to the Chairman oftlie Com-

in list in such order as he chose, and that
imembers should speak in the order thus
set down. The‘ advantages of such a
course are obvious‘. Each man would
lliave a fair chaiice, and while emptying bis
