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.

The following synopsis of the proceedings oftbe Senate on tiie Kith inst., we take from the corres pondence of the Baltimore Sun: 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 lieved from nil imputation, he was averse tothfe ex ercise of unnecessary severity.

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 *.

Under such a government, every man considers the qaarr! of the nation as his own, and he considers bis on honor and his own faith pledged to proaccotc i; t, an honorable issue. The Millctlgcville Recorder of thc 24th inst. says: The crop of wheat seems to be very promising in our Stale, front all the accounts we receive. Should the crop be matured as ilpromises, it will lie a source of great relief to our people, stiflering as they do from the short crop of corn last year. k k.'. . Snictde of Commodore Crane. - The Washington correspondent of the Baltimore American, writing on the 19th inst., says: “Con- taudore Crane, of the Bureau of Construction, con nected with the Ou'.nance Department, committed snieide at.three, o'clock yesterday afternoon, at hia office in the Navy Deportment He made hia will tbe day-previous, and lefta ixxe upon his table re- •prosting thjU hia body should not be taken to his hoop*' Hie only supposed reason for this act was 8 melancholy State of mind produced by severe physical suffering.

But for these two objections, tho notice ought to he postpon 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.
