1:; his opinion, the exigencies of the public‘
service may require the same.
The Bill was supported by several of
the Committee on Military Affairs, not in
reference to the relations of the U. States
with England, and Mexico, but as neces-
sary for the defence of the frontier from
the Indians, and to promote the emigration
to Oregon.
But Mr.

Brinkerholf, of Ohio, remarked
that, in case of any hollision with Great
Britain, these small preparations would be
useful. He said thatacollision with Mex-
ico was very possible. Our army had
taken a position on the left bank of the
Rio Grande, and, if the Mexicans could‘
raise any force at all, it was probable that
they would resist the movement.
Mr. ‘t’ ell, supported the Bill on the
ground that the regiments were necessary
to take care of the military posts which
would he established on the route fi-o_ni
the frontier to the mouth of the Columbia,
and to protect the frontiers from the In-
dians. From the Red River to the R10
Grande there must be a chain of posts.
l\’Ir. i\'lcGaughey was opposed to the p
whole Bill. If we passed this Bill, we
should have a swarm of little bills of this
sort,._before the end of the session. _
revenue was not large enough to justify
this increase’ of our expenditures. We
were told that this had no reference to
Oregon, and, if that was the case, we could
not, with a reduced Tarifl, meet all these
expenditures. We should have to make a

The
which has long since been extended to British
subjects in that territory.
The state of our relations with Mexico is
still in an unsettled condition. Since the meet-
ing of Congress, another revolution has taken
place in that country, by which the Government
has passed into the hands of new rulers. This
event. has proci‘ast.inated, and may possibly de-
Ifeat: the seitleinent of the ditfei'e::cc3 between
Ttlzc United States and this couiitry. The Min-
ister of the United States to iVIe:-tico, at the date
of the last advices, had not been received by the
existing autlici*ifics'. Daniozistiatiozis ofa char-
acter hostile to the United States continue to
be made in Mexico, which has i-eiidered it prop-
er, in myjudgment, to keep nearly‘ two-thirds
of our army on our South-Western_trontier. In
doing this, many of the regular military posts
have been reduced to a small force, inadequate
to their defence should an emergency arise.
In view of these “circumstances,” it is my
“judgment_” that “an increase of our naval and
military force is at this time required,” to place
the country in a suitable state of defence. At
same time, it is my settled purpose to pursue
such a course of policy as may be best calcula-
ted to preserve, both with Great Britain and
Mexico, an honorable peace; which nothing will
so effectually promote as uizaniuiity in our coun-
cils, and a firm maintenance ofall our just rights.
JAMES K. POLK.
On motion of Mr. Allan the message was laid
on the table and ordered to be printed.
Mr. VVebster rose after the reading, and
inquired of the Chairmaii of the Commit-
tees on Naval and on Military Affairs
whethertlie)‘ had any communication jus-
tifying the call for other measures.
Mr. Fairfield, of the Naval Committee,
replied that the communications from the
Secretary of the Navy had already been
tinted. Mr. Benton. of the Committee
on Military‘ Affairs, did not wish to make
any verbal Communications.
The Senate then went into Executive
Session
In the House the “two regiments” bill
was up and the debate continued.
A vote having been taken that the de-
bate should cease at three o‘cl’lr, the hour
having arrived, the House proceeded to
vote on the amendments. That for re-
i
large appropriation, at the end of the ses-
sion, for the Post Oflice Department 1'-
lesome to get rid of these
military companies, if we were once sad-
dled with them.
The House adjourned at 4 o‘clock.
A message was received from the_Prt=s-
ident of the United States, transinitting
the correspondence with the British Gov-
ernment relative to a proposition for re-
funding duties on imports improperly‘ paid,
in. either country, on goods from the other.
The Senate, after the morning business,
went into Executive session on the Belgi-
an Treaty.
Tuasnav, March 17
The following Message was received
from the President :
To the Senate qfthe United States:
I=n answer to the enquiry of the Senate, con-
tained in their resolutions of the 17th instant,
whether, in my “judgment any circumstances
connected with, or growing out of, the forcofi
relations of this country, require at this time_
increase of our naval or military force ;” and, if
so, “what: those circumstances are.” I _haVe to
express the opinion, that a wise precaution de-
mands such increase.
In my annual message of the ‘.2d of December
last, I recommended to the favorable consider-
ation of Congress, an increase of our naval force.
especially of our steam navy, and the raisiiig of‘
an adequate military force to guard and protect
such of our citizens as might think proper to em-
igrate to Oregon. Since that period, I have
seen no cause to recall or modify these recom-
mendations. On the contrary, reasons exist
which, in my judgment. render it proper not
only that they should be promptly carried into
effect, but that additional provision should be
made for the public defence.
The consideration‘ of ‘such additional provision
wasbrought before appropriate committees of
the-tlwo:H‘ouses of Congress, in answer to a call
sanction, by the Secretary of ‘War and the Sec-
retaryoftha‘ Navy, on the 29th of December
and the 8th of January last; a mode of com-
munication with Congress not unusual, and, un-
der existing circumstances, believed to be most
eligible. Subsequent events have confirmed
ducing the regiments to one was rejected.
Mr. Adams moved that the Commit-
tee rise. His object, he said, was to move
to reconsider the vote by uhicli the House
had ordered the bill to be taken out of
Committee. ‘
Mr. Adams said that without further
information he should vote against the
bill and other measures increasing our
military force. He wished to know the
real state of the country.
Some member here moved an adjourn-
ment, which motion prevailed.
The message of the President is calcu-
lated to alarm the country.
‘tVi-zinmasnar, March 25.
The Bill for the increase of the-rank
and file of the Army, passed the House to
day by an overwhelming majority. This
Bill was a substitute for the two rifle
regiments proposed by the Committee on
Military Affairs. When the subject came
up, to-day. Mi‘. Rhett, and Mr. Garret
Davis, questioned the Chairman of the
Committee on l‘i’lilitai'y Afiiairs, in regard
to the recommendations confidently made
by the President, to the Commitee on
Naval and Military Affairs, of an increase
of the Army and Navy, as disclosed in the
Pi‘esidcnt’s Message of yesterday. Mr.
Harulson finally admitted, that such con-
fidential communications had been receiv-
ed, and that upon them he had based the
measures which he had reported to the
House.
‘Mr. Hungerford, of New York, moved
a substitute for the Rifle Bill, which was
adopted, to wit:
That the several companies of Artillery,
lnfantry, and Cavalry, be filled tip to
eighty each, and tli:it they he enlisted for
the term of three years.
In this form the Bill passed, and was
sent to the Senate for concurrence.
The House then proceeded to consider
a Bill making appropriations to supply
some detciencies i-n former diplomatic
me in the opinion that these recommendations
were proper as precautionary measures.
It was a wise maxim of the Father of his
Country that “to be prepared for war, is one of i
the most efficient; means of preserving peace ;"
and that, “avoiding occasions of expense by cul-
tivating peace,” we should- “1‘einember, also,
that timely disbursements to prepare for danger
frequently prevent much greater disbursements
to repel’ it.” '1?‘l‘ic general obligation to perform
this. duty is greatly stiengtliened by factsknown
to this whole world- A controversy respecting
the Oregon tei'rit_oi‘y now exists between the
United States and Great; Britain; and while,
as far as we know, the relations of the latter
with all European nations are of the most pacific
character, she is making. unusual and exti‘aoi‘dl-
nary armaments and? warlike prep:-irat.ions. na-
val and military, both at homeaud‘ in her North
American possessions.
It cannot be disguised that, however‘ sincere
may be the desire of peace, in the event of a
rupture these armaments and preparations would
be used against our country. Wliatcvoi' may
have been the original purpose of these prepar-
ations, the fact: is undoubted that they are now
proceeding, in part, at least, with a view to the
contingent possibility of it war with _the United
States. The general policy of making addition-
al warlike preparations was distinctly announced
in the speech from the throne, as late as J anuai-y
last, and has since been reiterated by_ the minis-
ters of the crown in both houses of Parliament.
Under this aspect of our relations with Great
Britain. I cannot doubt the propriety of increas-
ing our means of defence, both by land and sea.
This can give Great Britain no cause of offence,
nor increasethe danger of a rupture. If, on the
contrary, we should fold our arms in security,
and at last be suddenly involved in hostilities for
the maintenance of our just rights, without any
adequate preparation, our responsibility to the
country would be of the gravest chai'acter.—-
Should collision between the two countries be
avoided, as I sincerely trust ir.'may, the addi-
tional charge upon the treasury, in making‘ the
necessary preparations,. will not be lost; while,
in the event of such a collision, they would be
indispensable for the maintenance of our nation-
al honor.
I have seen no reason to‘ change‘ or modify
the recommendations of my annual nicssagc in
regard to the Oregon question. The notice‘ to
nbrogate the treaty of ‘the 6th of August‘, 1827,
is authorized by the treaty itself, and cannot be
regarded as a warlike measure; and I cannot
withhold my strong conviction that‘ it should be
promptly given. The other recommendations
are in conformity with the existing, treaty, and
would afford to,Amcrican citizens in Oregon no
more than the same measure of protection
and other appropriations.
In the Senate, Mr. Fairfeld, reported a
Bill to authorize the Secretary of the
Navy to contract for water-rotted hemp.
Mr. Berrien offered a Resolution which
was agreed to, calling on the Committee
of Naval and Military Affairs, to lay be-
fore thc Senate any commuriiizations
which they had received from the Depart-
ments in relation to an augmentation of
the Army and Navy. ‘-
Mr. Fairficld, as Chairman of the Naval
Affairs Committee, remarked, that the
communications received hv him as con-
fidential, had been l’eIUl'ltCd;u;ld were not
in his possession.
Mr. Benton sent to the table a commu-
nication whieh he had received from the
Secnet~'ary of War, whicli referred to other
conimunications of a confidential nature,
and it was ordered to be printed. So that
is all, I presume, that the Committee on
Military Affairs were able to disclose.
Mr. Sevier, spoke on the Oregon ques-
tion, and with great vigor and ability, sus-
ltaining the title of the United States to
Oregon, but professing a readiness to c_om-
promise at 49.
Mr. S. was one the rebels in the Balti-
more C_onvention—one of the Brutuses
that Stabbed Caesar. He could write a
book about that Convention, and perhaps
WOUl(l ClO lt--‘l.)Ul. l'l0\\.' he gvould gay that
the President was not precluded by My
thing that happened at that Convention,
from settling the Oregon question by com.
promise. What terms should be accept.
ed, he could better tell when the offer was
made. Mr. Miller, ofN. .I., took the floor,
Tuuitsnitr, March 26.
The first business to day was the intro-
duction of Mr. Rush, one of the Texas
Senators. He took the oath and his seat.
After some unimportant business, Mr.
Allen rose and said he hoped he would be
excused for suggesting Friday as the time
to take the vote on the Oregon Resolu-
tion. He had talked with several of the
Senators, and he thouorht it would be con-
venient to-all. 5 -
The subject was let pass without action.
The Resolution of Mr. J. M. Clayton,
-1
-u
...._4
on the President for copies of any corres-
ondeiice recently had between the Brit-
ish Govfcrnment and our Government, as;
far as consistent with public safety, was
then called for.
Mr. Allen hoped that it might lay over.’
Mr. Phelps moved that the Senate pro-
ceed to the special order of the day.
The motion prevailed and the debate on
Oregon resumed. lt was a rich little de-
bate but ended too abruptly.
Mr‘. Miller r,-rocleetled to address the
Senate on me Resolution.
The Senate then went into Executive
Session.
In the House, the subject matter of de-
bate was the Appropriation Bill for de-
ficiences, or rather a bill to enable the of-
fice holders to rob the Public 'l'i‘casury
under no particular name. The bill makes
up the odds and of all the official squan-
derings of the People’s money. lt pro-
vides among other things, for the Payment
ofTexas troops, $69,t>'00; Transportation
of Ollicer's Baggage, $30,000 ; For Gen-
eral Extraordinary Military expenses,-
$630,000; Other General Expenses, $100,
000. _
After some discussion, a motion was
made by Mr. Mt-Kay of N. C. to terminate
the debate to 3 o‘clock, was adopted.
A good deal of discussion arose upon
this bill, and some pretty angry feelings.
Mr. Mcllvaine of Pa. made a long ad-
dress in a low voice against this enormous
robbery ofthc Treasury for the Texas In-
iquity. He moved to strike out the Texas
items.
Much disorder here ensued, which
illessrs. Douglass, McCoimcll and Chip-
man appeared to enjoy peculiarly.
Order being restored,l\'l r.M’llvnine with
drew his airiendiiient. Mr. Davis of Ky.
at 2 o’clock resumed the course of this
debate. This important debate was at the
suggestion of the gentleman from N. C.
limited to on boner. Mr. Dromgoole of
Va. made some remarks in reply. The
hour of3 o'clock having arrived the dc-
bate closed.
On motion of Mr. Rathbun the Commit-
tee rose and a motion was made to extend
the ‘time of debate. This was refused and
the House adjourned.
Syrunnav. March 28.
No session of the Senate to day.
Soon after the HOUSE met it resolved
itself into a C_ommittee of the VVholc and
took up the private Calendar.
Much discussion ensued on the bill to
pay an old lady fifty-seven dollars and fifty
cents! She paid it at the land office for
lands, but was swindlcd, and got no land.
The discussion is still going on as this re-
port closes. '

0regon——Importam: Rumor.—T/ze Dis-
alc/zcs by the Hz'bc1‘nz'a.-—A correspondent
of the Public Ledger, writing from Wash-
ington, Marcli ‘25Lh, says:--l learn, this
evening, from a quarter which I think en-
titled to implicit credit, that the dispatches
received by the Hibernia, from Mr. l‘-‘lcl
Lane, inform our government substantially
that the British government will make no
at at liberty to give the notice and pass,
such laws as they may think proper for‘
the protection of our citizens in Orcgon,§
but that if the subjects of Great Britain are
molested, or any collision takes place be-
tween the citizens of the .two countries’
in that territory, the United States must
be prepared for the consequences, as Great
Britain will not permit any improper in-
terference with her rights or the rights of‘
those under her protection. Mr. Bidwell,
one of the Attaches of the British Embas-
sy here, left in the cars this evening with.
dispatches for the British goverment from
Mr. Pakcnham.
The following Notice Ext1'aoi‘dinai‘y, is given
by a corespouncnt of the N. H. Palladium :
The Locofoco party having died in pris-
on,last Sprirg,wit.lioiit relations or friends;
notice is herby given: that on the first
Monday of April its body will be liaiidedl
over to the Society of Whig Anatomists
for dissection. lt is supposed to have
died of internal decay, or of organic dis-,
ease or corruption of the heart. The first
object of the Society will he to ascertain
the cause ofits death; and the sccond,to
prepare in a proper manner and exhibit
its anatomy.
Rev. C’. J. Tor2‘ey.—-The application of
the friends of the Rev. Mr. Torrey for his
release, has been witlidraivn. A letter
from A. A. Phelps and C. D. Cleveland,l
states that the money subscribed to restorel
him to his family and public uscfulness,l
will fail of its effect, in consequence ofhisl
low state of health. Those liaring charge
of its collection, seem to think it no more
than their duty to take care of his family
with these means, after what appears:
strictly inevitable—-the death of the has-l
band and father. 'l his is a lamentable af-5
fair, and I hope may not be without its‘
instruction. It is evident that such per-i
l
doubtless by the most laudable but mista-
ken sentiments, do more to retard than ad-
vance the cause of emancipation.
James G. Birncy, it is stated, has come
out for unconditional free trade, and goes
for direct taxation and the closing up of
the Custom Houses. He is getting along
fast towards the slave policy. Having
done all in his power for the extension of
slavery, it is quite natural that he should
continue to progress with the same prin-
ciples.—-Pc..Iladium.

ELECTION OF REPRESENTATIVES.
The law concerning the election of Repre-

must be 1‘epi‘escnted this year. If there is no
choice by a majority, on the first Monday of
April, the law adjourns the meeting to the next
Monday, when a plurality will elect. So every
town must elect citlicr on the first or second
