Prospectus of the Southern Planter.
However the value of works devoted to t. e impor
taut science of Agriculture may have been appreciated
in former times, the day has past when it becomes
neccss.iry to enter into an eluboiate defence of the
necessity and worth of such publications, and all prac
tical men are now constrained to admit the bene
ficial influence which they exercise upon the agricutlu-
ral industry of the country, as well in the increased
productions of labor as ir. the general improvement of
the soils. Impressed with these convictions, and the
no less startling truths which are daily developing to
the mind of every reflecting man. the necessity of di-
vertinga potion of that, labor now employed in the pto-
ductiou of our great staple, into other and more pofita
ble employment ; the growth of Bread-stuffs, Provis
ions, Stock of dll kinds; thereby rendering the South
ern section of the Union, less dependent for all the ar
ticles of daily consumption, upon our Eastern and
Western brethren, and a (Tot ding a more simple field
for the improvement of our rapidly exhausting soils—
the undersigned have been induced to undertake the
publication of the Southern Planter, a work which
will be exclusively devoted to the cause of doutliein
Agriculture, and whatever pertains to the promotion of
the science, in all its varied ramifications, extending
as they do through all tli^* Mechanic Arts.
This brief sketch of the objects and designs of the
work will doubtless commend if to the favorolde con
sideration of every intelligent Plainer who feels the
necessity of such a medium of communication, and
to such, without further remark, we make a direct ap
peal in its behalf, confident that the extremely low price
at which it is otlered, will place it within the reach of
every farmer, however limited his means.

SPEECH OF MR. M’DrFFIE,
On ths Occupation and Settlement of the
Oregon Territory.
Mr. Me. Duffie rose and addressed the
Senate. A wise and prudent man, (said
Mr. McD.) in any of the various departments !
of human affairs, would be very reluctant 1
to engage in any enterprise, however thor
oughly satisfied of his right to do so, until
he should have well considered : first, the
appropriate time for its commencement ;
secondly, the means by vvhicbitwas to be;
accomplished, and its probable cost; and S-!
nally, ths benefits which were ultimately to j
result from its accomplishment. And he
must be permitted to say, if the worthy j
Senator from Missouri, ^ho had with so
'much zeal and ability presented this hill to
the consideration of the Senate, had violated
any of the maxims of sound policy, (as he
humbly conceived he had,)ithad arisen fiom
the circumstance of totally overlooking the
considerations to which he had just alluded.
All those Senators who had engaged in
this discussion seemed to have limited their
investigations to what he was compelled
to regard as the most unimportant of all
the questions which this measure involves, j
They had confined themselves to the mere
abstract question of the right of title. They
had argued the question as if the Senate
of the United States was the tribunal which
was to adjust and determine the question
of the validity of the English or American
title ; and as if this was the only question
to be determined. He believed no Senator,
who had taken part in this discussion, had
expressed the slightest doubt as to the va
lidity of the title of the United States to the
Territory of Oregon. He had investigated
the subject as fully and as thoroughly as
the documentary evidence to which he had
been able to obtain access had enabled him
to do ; and, with these lights before him,
lie was free to declare that he regarded the
title of the United States, at least as far
north as the forty-ninth parallel of latitude,
as one of the clearest that was ever the
subject of national controversy. But, at
the same time that he had made this decla
ration, lie would be very sorry to assume
the responsibility of precipitating the nation
into any measure upon hts own judgment,
01 the judgment of the Senate, upon
questions which it did not belong to eith
er to determine. Gentlemen seemed lo
have forgotten that there were two parties
interested in this question ; and that, how
ever clear our title might appear to us,
theirs might appear equally clear to the oth
er party. Here ivas acaseofjointoccupan-
cy, and existing question as to title. The
Senate had seemed, throughout the whole
discussion, to assume that ours was the
true title, and were proceeding upon that
assumption ; although the Biitish, at the
same time, claimed that theirs was the Hue
title. By whom were these conflicting
claims to be settled 1 By one of the in-
tetested parties 1 Certainly not.
A few words on the subject of the con
vention of ISIS, which had been indefinite
ly prolongued by that of 1S27. He con
curred perfectly with those Senators who
hud maintained that the provision of this
act, which granted, or stipulated to grant,
allodial titles, or titles in fee simple, to all
those citizens of this country who might
emigrate to that territory, was a palpable vi
olation of tiie convention. It was in vain
to disguise the fact, whatever might he de
termined in regard to this matter. They
were about to take possession of the terri
tory, to establish a line of American forts,
and, by all the means and appliances of war,
to defend that posession. T hey were about
to invite the citizens of this country to go
there—not for the purpose of carrying on
the fur trade ; not to do that which was con
sistent with a joint occupancy by the two
parties to die convention ; hut to establish
a petmanent settlement. The British gov
ernment and the Biiti.-h nation, however
we might disguise the fact in ottr argu
ments here, could not he so blind as not
to perceive the palpable object of this mea
sure. He begged lo inquire of the worthy
Senators who took so deep an interest in
the fate of this bill, what was the existing
emergency \%bu:li called upon the United
States to take this step. The question, |
for the last twenty-four years, had been j
allowed to slumber, while we were in the j
midst of the greatest national prosperity,
with a treasury so abundantly supplied
that the wit and ingenuity of man could
not find out a legitimate mode of disen
cumbering it of its superabundant trea
sure. He called upon Senators to state
what was the existing emergency, which
demanded now, that a measure of this kind
should lie adopted. Why was it that they
were invoked at this moment—and, he must
lie permitted to say, this inauspicious mo
ment, to enter into a measure of this kind 1
Why had it not been done some twenty
years ago, or at some subsequent period
prior to the present 1 He was decidedly
averse to embaik in it now. What was
the condition of our affairs in relation to
England 1 Had they already fotgotten
that only the other day a momentous tieaty
had beeu concluded with England, concern
ing one of the most embarrassing diffi
culties that had arisen since the termination
of the late war ] He would ask, how, and
at whose instance, was that adjustment
made ’! It was made at the instance of
that nation, concerning whose grasping am
bition so much had been said by gentlemen
on this flour. Was it her ambition, her
h.ve of conquest, and the desire of the ac
quisition of territory, that induced England
to send to us the olive branch of peace,
in the form of an extraordinary mission '!—
Great Britain voluntarily moved in this
matter, and tendered lo us the olive
branch of peace ; and he thanked God
our Government accepted it in the spirit
in which it was extended to us. He was
not disposed to find fault with the tesult
of those negotiations, even if they had con
ceded much more territory than was con-
ceeded, had it been done with the con
sent of the State immediately interested,!
and consistently with the honor of the |
country. He would rather that peace )
should be made on almost any terms, than
to go to war. The matter had been ad- j
justed ; and he must be permitted to say,
that for the adjustment of this question, if
for nothing else, the people of the United
States owed a debt of lasting gratitude to:
the Administration by whom this adjust- (
ment had been effected ; and be would go j
fuitlier, and say, that every patriot in En
gland and the United States would shake !
hands and declare that the Government of,
each was indebted to the negotiators. He |
thanked God that the treaty had been i
brought to a successful termination. Well,
sir, (said Mr. M’D.) while congratulating
ourselves oti the termination of these gieat
difficulties, at such a moment as this, what
are we about to do ? While a part of our
territorial bouudary remained still to be
adjusted—while the question was still a
subject of pending negotiation between the
two countries—the Seuate of the United
States, a branch of the Legislature, inti
mately connected with the treaty-making
power, is about to adopt a military move
ment, in order to lake military possession
of the territory. Now, however we may
view this act, whatever inteipretation we
may place upon it, I will ask gentleman to
assume to themselves for a moment the
position of the British ministry, and im
agine what would be the natural effect up
on their minds of a measure of this kind.
Sir, they sent us the olive blanch of peace
to adjust the most important difficulty. In
stead of reciprocating the amicable spirit
manifested by them, we«are about to send
forth the flaming sword of defiance—yes.
at the vety moment our minister is instruc
ted to negotiate for a settlement of the
question, we snatch from their hands the
olive branch of peace, and place the sword
of defiance in its stead. This may be strong
language; but strong as it is, it is not
stronger than the natural interpretation
which will be placed on our conduct, if this
bill be passed, by Great Britain.
I have asked, what is the emergency
which demands the passage of this bill! Is
there any probability that we shall fail in
the adjustment of the question by ne
gotiation ? If gentlemen believe we shall
fail, and that we shall ultimately be un
der the necessity of resorting to force
of arms to establish our title and main
tain our occupation, this is an additional
leason why we should adopt no mea
sure which, in the estimation of thecivi-
lized world, in and our own, could possibly
place us in the wrong. Let us fairly and.
honorably try to negotiate. Let us try
to adjust this boundary, as we have done
the other. And as I think the title of the
United States is infinitely more clear than
that upon which the negotiation has just
terminated, I think the probability of an
amicable adjustment is so much the grea
ter. But gentlemen say we must proceed
in ibis way—we must take possession, be
cause the British aie doing the same. They
are making lodgments, establishing settle
ments, looking forward to the exclusive
possession at some future period. Now, 1
totally dissent from this opinion ; and if
there is any one conclusion to which the
documents before the Senate must irresis-
tably bring the mind of Senators, it is that
Gieat Biitain lias not the remotest idea—
that she has not dime a solitary act, nor ut
tered a solitary woid, on the question, evin
cing the remotest desire to make perma
nent exclusive settlements in that territory.
All that she desired, and all that they have
ever claimed, is tiie right to prosecute the
fur-trade, ar.d to make such temporary
settlements as were necessary to accomplish
that object. Have they done more, sir 1
It is true, the worthy Senator from Ken
tucky, (Mr. Morehead) made a formidable
array of charges against England, in refer
ence to acts which she has already done.—
In the first place, that she has made a fort
one hundred miles from the mouth of the
Columbiaiiver; and the gentleman, with that
candor which forbids him to suppress any
part of the truth, lead a full account of
that fort, concluding with a statement that
it was a mere stockade fort, in its very
character intended for no other purpose
than to repel the attacks of Indians ; and
so it is with all the other forts which they
have established. This, then, amounts to
nothing ; it furnishes no evidence of an
intention of establishing permanent settle
ments, the idea of which seems to have ta
ken hold of the minds of Senators. The
Senator from Kentucky related another
very important fact. He said, England
has violated the convention, which stipula
ted the joint occupancy in the prosecution
of the fur-trade ; because, whenever our
boats ascended the Columbia river to trade
with the Indians, they were immediately
driven off’ by the English, who had the au
dacity to come tlieie arid sell goods to the
poor Indians, cheaper than the Americans
did ; and this was a violation of the conven
tion. Why, sir, this harmonizes very bad
ly with the remark of the worthy Senator
from New-Hampshire, (Mr. Woodbury)
who indicated, as one important object to
be gained by the passage of this bill, the
civilization of the Indians. But, if we
cannot afford to sell them goods at a cheap
rate, it surely does not show a very
Christian spirit. But all this is mere words.
I put it. to the Senate whether any one,
in the course of this discussion, has put his
finger on a solitary act which indicated an
intention, on the part of Great Britain, to
establish for herself an exclusive occupation.
I assert that, as far as I have examined, I
have discovered no evidence of any such in
tention.
Now, Mr. President, having pressed these
brief views, tending to show the inexpedi
ency of adopting such a measure ot this
time, in reference to negotiations now
pending between the two countries, let
me ask the Senate what will be the natural
interpretation that England will put upon
our act 1 If vve had passed the measure
without debate, it might not have been re
garded in any degree offensive ; but you
may rest assured, when this act comes to
he regarded by the British Minister, par
ticularly if they have any desire to take pos
session of the territory, what will be the
interpretation they will put upon it. They
will interpret the act by the speeches deliv
ered here. Will they not, sir. Consult
your own bosoms. What is the impres
sion produced upon yourselves, when an
English paper—not even a ministerial paper '
—throws out denunciations against the :
United States.
What, then, will lie their interpretation of
this act, military in its character, heralded !
forth to the world with denunciations against j
England, on account of her grasping ambi
tion—referring to her acts in the Eastern
hemisphere, in Asia and China, as well as on
this continent? Sir, however calmly we may
hear these things, the British will not hear
them with calmness. Now, sir, let me tell
you how many gentleman are mistaken as i
lo the feeling existing in England in regard !
to this subject. I was there for about six j
months during the years 1838 and 1S39;,
and if I were called upon on my oath to j
dedaie what appeared to be the most pre- |
vailing sentiment in England, I would say |
it was an absolute horror of the idea of a
war with America. All ranks, high and
low, every person I encountered, in the
highway and elsewhere, universally concur
red in the sentiment that the ancient feuds
that had separated the two countries had
passed away—that a new era had grown
up—that they were hound together by the
strong ties of consanguinity, both being of
the Anglo-Saxon lace, differing from all
the rest of the world ; and I heard the lan
guage used—language in which I concurred
this wild and gambling adventure, in which
their blood is to be staked 1
Sir, does any man suppose that in the
—that if the two Govern ments, on a question . next twenty years we shall derive a cent
of mere boundary, which might be entrus
ted to arbitrators, should involve themselves
in war, they would deserve the eternal ex
ecration of the world. This was the uni
versal sentiment.
of revenue ? 1 put it to the Senate, is
there a man here who supposes that the
wealth or power of the United States will
be increased to the amount of one solitary
cent by all the colonists that maybe prevail-
Sir.I am not afraid of being charged ^dupon to go there ? No, sir, not a cent,
with dreading the tremendous >mver c f j a moderate estimate; wbaa
1 i c 1 r.u do you think it will cost, on the scale on
England. Surely, Ae.courage oflh,pec „. h , ch set out, during ,he ne« twenty

many glorious battles by laud ar.d by se., *-*« off *»
is not reduced to so low an ebb, that they
will encounter the hazard of being thought
to be cowardly, because they act from the
desire to be consider ed just. No, sir; no
such inteipretation will be put upon our
conduct. 1. confidently believe, therefore,
that if we wait with patience, and fairly
employ the means of peace which are in our
hands, and leave the executive depaitment
of the govrenment to discharge its duty, 1
confidently believe, from the progress alrea
dy made in the adjustment of our difficul
ties, that this comparatively unimportant
one would be adjusted. So far, sir, as
regai ds our foreign relations.
But there are some domestic views of
the subject which gentlemen have overlook
ed. U bat do vve want with this territory ?
What are vve to do with it? What is to
be the consequence of our taking posses
sion of it ? What is the act we are called
on now to do ? Why, it is neither more
nor less than an act of colonization foi the
first time proposed since the foundation of
this Government. If this were a question
of gradual, and continuous, and progressive
settlement—if the territory to which our
citizens are invited, were really to become
a part of this Union, il would present a veiy
different question. But, sir, does any man
seriously suppose that any State which can
be formed at the month of the Columbia
river, or any of the inhabitable parts of that
territory, would ever become one of the
States of this Union ? I had great faith—
no one bad much greater—in the power of
the Representative principle to extend the
sphere of government ; but I confess that,
even in the most sanguine days of my youth,
I never conceived the possibility of embrac
ing within the same Government people
living 5,000 miles apart. But, sir, the wor
thy Senator from New Hampshire, [Mr.
Woodbury,] seems to have discoveied a
principle much more potent than the rep
resentative principle. He refers you to
steam, as far more potent. I should doubt
very much whether the elements, or pow
ers, or organization of the principles of gov
ernment, will ever be changed by steam.—
How are vve to apply steam in this case ?—
Has the Senator examined the character of
the country ? What is the character of tiie
country ? Why, as 1 understand it, that
about seven hundred miles this side of the
Rocky Mountains is uninhabitable, where
rain scarcely ever falls—a barren sandy
soil. On the other side—vve have it from
a very inteligent gentleman, sent to explore
that country by the State Department, that
there are three successive ridges of moun
tains extending to the Pacific, and running
nearly parallel; which mountains are total
ly impassable, except in certain parts,
where there are gaps or depressions, to be
reached only by going some hundreds of
miles out of the direct course. Well, now,
what are vve to do in such a case as this ?—
How are you going to apply steam ? Have
you made anything like an estimate of the
lions of dollars, it would be about what any
reasonable man would consider a reasona
ble estimate. The country is inhabited by
fierce and warlike savages. It is a country
abounding with recesses to which they can
ietreat, and in which they will be inacces
sible ; and if vve ever get to war with them,
(and we know by experience that the most
certain way to get to war, is to go among
them,) we shall find another Florida ; and
every person knows how much the expen
ses of that unfoitunate war had exceeded
the anticipations of those who foreboded
tbe worst. Sir, the interests of the peo
ple of the United States—(throwing out of
view the ardent and unpatriotic desire of
adveutures, and consulting the solid inter
ests of the agricultural and manufacturing
interests of the country,) I venture to say
that for the next twenty years, there is not
a congressional district in this Union, cost
ing the government nothing,but on the con
trary contributing to its support, which
will not be more valuable to tbe United
States, than the whole of this territory. It
never can be of any value for agricultural
purposes.
All the accounts I have read concur, with
out any dissenting voice, in stating that the
furtradeisin rapid course of deteriora
tion. The animals which yield fur are dis
appearing; and the timers not remote,
when even the British Fur Company will
abandon the country, if you leave them a-
lone. So you have a prospect, by tbe mere
lapse of time—by the mere progress of
events—by the extermination of animals —
of having the territory dropped into our
possession. But if the British had no claim
to this territory, and there were nothing
which compelled us to go with our military
establishments and agricultural settlements,
L would not consent—if there was an em
bankment of even five feet to be removed,
I would not consent to expend five dollars
to remove that embankment to enable our
population to go there. I do not wish lo
tempt the people to form settlements there.
I wish this to be a great empire, grown up
by ibe natural course of civilization, and
the natural extension of population. I
thank God for his mercy in placing the
Rocky Mountains there. I believe, if it
bad not been for those mountains, we would
have been already in the Pacific. You can
not civilize men, if they have an indefinite
extent of territory, over which to spread
their numbers ; for so long as they spread
their numbers, instra l of becoming civiliz
ed, they become semi-savage. All agree
that civilization can best be effected when
the country is hedged in by narrow boun
daries.
Why, Mr. Piesident, if there is any one
lesson inculcated by history, beyond the
possibility of doubt, it is that all nations of
the world, which have, within tbe last one
or two centuries, sent out distant colonies,
have found them lo be two or three times
more expensive than profitable. There is
nothing which can justify such an enter-
cost of a rail road running from here to the p r j ze> but the existence of a superabundant
mouth of tbe Columbia ? Why,the wealth and starving population. In our case there
of the Indies would be insufficient. You
would have to tunnel through mountains
five hundred orsix hundred miles in extent.
It is true they have constructed a tunnel
beneath the Thames; but at avast expen
diture of capital. With a bankrupt treasu-
is no such necessity. Are we pent up
within narrow limits?—are we stifled for
air?—are we starving for want of means of
subsistence? Why, sir, we are very much
disliessed, to be sure; but it is from pleth
ora, not from consumption. We are now in
ry, and a deptessed and suffenng people, to , t j, e condition in which aSenatorfromKen-
lalk about constructing a rail road to the wes-. lucky> j tl discussing the tariff bill, told us

lo heal broached in the Senate of the Lni- j n „ down with the weight of grain; the

where we are to find this wild spirit ot ad- s j s t eHC e. This is the case now. In tbe
history of the United States, a period was

est cultivators of the soil, look now only to : t |,; n g necessary to support human life—
God in his mercy, and their own labor, to : corn selling for ten to twelve and a half
venture which has involved this country in
ruin ? I believe that the fanners, the hon-
cents a bushel, wheat at forty cents, and
every other article of consumption in pro
portion—and with a country like this, and
with a soil as productive as the valleys of
Egypt, and so extensive that you cannot
people it for a century to come—with such
a soil, and with such means for rewarding
the honest agricultural laborer, shall we, at
an enormous expense, derived from taxes
relieve them from the wretchedness in
which the wild and visionary schemes of j
adventure have involved them.
Now, it is one of the most uncalculating
measures which was ever brought before
the Senate. For whose beuefit are we
bound to pass it? Who are to go there,
along the line of military posts, and take
possession of the only part of the territory [ - , . . .
