call the debate on the Oregon question,
which first was continued in the House of
Representatives by more then ninety ora*
ton, and is now prosecuted in the Senate.
The debate has been pending near two
months and ahaif in Congress, and no man
will venture to predict its termination—
When it will end or how it will end, or
whether it will come to any conclusion at
nil. In the mean time, the House of Rep.
resentalives, instead of acting upon the
measures recommended by the President,
und passing the bill for organising two new
regiments, and adopting a system for pro
tecting emigration and extending our juris
diction beyond the Rocky mountains, iiave
been employed upon the episode of the
harbor and nver bill for nearly three weeks.
Can any statesman doubt the cflccis of
this indecisive and vacillating course upon
our foreign relations 7 Instead of present
ing a prompt, bold and united front, the
Senate have been splitting up the list ice
into various categories and qualifications;
refusing to lend the moral force of their
sanction to the course of the administra
tion as regards the notice; and, at the same
time proposing to strip him of his const it u-
tional rcsposibility, by fettering bis nego
tiation with England. Who cannot per
ceive the unfortunate consequences of ibis
indecision and procrastination upon ihc
British cabinet f Along with the deplora
ble influence of these divided counsels, let
us calculate the effect of the opposition of
the whig party to our administration on the

Air. Benton, from a Select Committee appointed
to investigate the charges of the Times made a re
port. It states in substance, that the publishers of
the Times, having been afforded every opportunity
of proving their allegations, have utterly failed so to
do, and that there is not the least shadow of evidence
to support a single specification. It concludes by
recommending the expulsion of both editors anti re
porters of tho Times from the privilege seats in the
gallery of the Senate.
Mr. Dickinson made some objection to that por
tion of the report which proposes to expel nil con
nected with the paper from the privilege seats,
Mr. Berrieu was astonished that the Senator be
ing one of the Committee, should lave any such
objection.
Mr. Dickinson said ho had heard the report read
for the first time, and now that the Senate was re

ercise of unnecessary severity.

confine himself to thc question of notice. After re

There appears to have been four political parties
the action of the Senate. He acknowledges acbnc-
in Ms own views in regard to the notice, and j-
mates his willingness to support a notice based t J
a desire to compromise and settle the question pear-
ably. The Senator then in moat glowing !*opa<-.
contrasts tho different effects of war and peace opr
our country. This portion of his speech, thojj
perhaps the most eloquent and beautiful, is, t 0 o c .
mind, the least logical part of it. Wc arc not p-!
pared to admit that a war with England would di
troy State-rights, and change our Federative s-e
tern into a Military Despotism. We have pos^
through one war with that nation without its prod-
cing any such direful effects. And if our l eldi ^
politician* pnblicly admit that we cannot wa»e °
war with Britain without changing our Governor!-
into a Military Despotism, it is as much as ton-
we must not go to war with Britain in any even!
It will encourage England to persist in hcrunjn-i
demands, knowing wo would stiflcr much befc .
we would resist at such a sacrifice. We
also for from believing that the best waytoeecur^
peace, is to purchase it at the sacrifice of oar u r ,.
questionable rights. A peace so purchased wool!
encourage our enemy frequently to renew and nis*
their demands until we should’have to fight at h--
or submit to such terms as they chose to givt_J
Such a poaco would humble tho national pride nj
spirit, and in the next dispute, we would have
less courago to coutend for our rights, and c
less ability to defend them. Wc might, by com:;,
ually buying peace, at thc expense of national hrc.
or and territory, become rich, as a nation, but *. I

Snictde of Commodore Crane.
- The Washington correspondent of the Baltimore
American, writing on the 19th inst., says: “Con-

ed. lie could not vote for ihc resolutions of thc
committee nn foreign relations, neither could he
vote for tho Honso notice resolutions, to both of
which he briefly stated his objections.
He was opposed to tho first, because they left it
doubtful whether we did or did not intend to adhere
to thc same grounds taken at the commencement of
the session, when the question presented a different
aspect. And he was opposed to tlio House resolu
tions, because they wore equivocal. The question
of notice or not was subordinate to whether tho dis
pute could be honorably settled without a resort towar
He was in favor of compromise. He did not pre
tend, however, that auy compromise tiiat conld he
made would bo the best for this country, or tiiat he
was going for the very best, but for the very best
under all circumstances.
He next took an extended view of the geographi
cal situation of Oregon relatively considered - with
regard to England. It would be very near to us,
whilst to England it would be the most distant of
her colonies, New Zealand not excepted. He next
described tiie mighty effects that w ould result from
a “ masterly inactivity,” thc trae meaning of which
was, a correct appreciation of causes and effects,
and a wise watching of coming events.
He then went into an eloquent exposition of the
effects of a war with England. He said tiiat Ore
gon would be forgotten in the fearful struggle for
rmpire, which would ensue between die most pow
erful nation of the world, and onr own, which wai
the BMl growing nation. If we should confine our
selves to the 49th degree, not one of our citizens
would be cut off from us, aa none had settled north
of that. All would be protected. He was opposed
to war, not on account of Oregon, bat for the Union.
Suppose at the end of a ten year’s disastrous war
we should find ourselves in a situation to “dictate
peace,” what should we have gained byitt We
should not only have a war with England, but a war
with Mexico, and aa Indian war into the bargain.
We should have to maintain navies and several
armies, about seven in all, to operate at different
points. Mexican soldiers under English officers,
well provided and disciplined, would be hard to boat.
