The debates on tha Oregon question are daily
increasing in interest. Mr. Buchanan hud tin
floor when the subject was taken up to-duy. Mr.
Choate rose and said be had been informed by tin
Senator from Virginia, (Mr. Archer) that the Sen.

plained that he yesterday over slated that gentle-
man's argument* and position. Hu did not inlcnu
to vary in the slightest degree) from the lungiiug.
of tin* Senator's speech, as reported in the Nation
til Intelligencer. He had not read Hut report o.
his own speech, consequently had not compared it
with the Senator’s speech, ns reported. If the
Senator's position was overrated, it was from in*
adverlance, or from error on the purl of the re
porter.
j Mr. Buchanan regretted, he said, that the Sena.
! tor ftoin .Massachusetts had qualified his explunu
lion hy the expression of a doubt whether his io*
' marks were overstated in the report of tiie Senator’*
t -peech. Any one who would take tlie trouble to
