RUSSELL A KIMBERLY. Macon, Se.at. 16,1845. 5] tf OttEGON—“ THE NOT.’CP. Mr. COLQUITT, who held the fl tor f o it yestcrdiiy, then proceeded to address tlie Sen ate, and s-iid: I do not profess to have myself any knowledge of the views w'ticli the Prei- ident has not given to tite world, which go lo support Ina recommendations on tlie subject of Oregon. Iieiying tv lit the utmost confidence on his lione-ty, integrity, and firmness, I am quite ready lo act upon these recommendations. It has been very properly sa : d lliat no message that ever cm.mnted from a Picsdeut of ihe United States lias met wiih more goncro! ap probation on the part of the people, than that one to which I now allude. It is able, digni fied, and peaceful. All that he lias said, an I all that he lias done, and all that ho has tillered to do, has met a favorable response from the public. It would be a libel upon his character to say that now he considers what lie li.-s done, or what ho lias offered to do, as not the best that might or could have been done for the best interests and happiness of the people.— I am not willing that his political adversaries should assert, or his political friends insinuate that he is secretly endeavoring to plunge this country into a war, whilst all his public con • municttlions breathe the language of peac\ I am not willing that the public s'tall consider that there arc gentlemen in the hulls of Con gress that have the private ear of tlie President, and are his especul mouth pieces, whilst he possesses daily means of communication with both houses of Congress, if war comes, the fault will not be on his bead. In wbut be has already done, ond in what he has offered to do, we have a public guarantee of what he is still prepared lo make in order to preserve at once the peace and honor of the nation. Tlie bloody laurel, even were he capable of winning it, would sit but illy on his brow. The plive- branch sits more gracefully upon it. He has not been walled to his present high position upon the groans and sighs of widows and or phans, rendering it necessary for him lo fin sh his race of glory in carnage and blood. I know that there have been m sgivings here ond elsewhere, that while his communications and his recommendations to Congress are all peaceful, there is a secret hostility to any ne gotiation on the part of the Executive ; und the infiamatory speeches made in the hulls of Con gress by some gentlemen have strengthened the conviction, and given some alarm ; but in vindication of the Ptesident, permit me to say that whenever the people shall find that bis public and private acts are conflicting with each other—th«t he acls with dis uise and dissimula tion—that he is weak and vacillating, and to be driven from his d'gnified and peaceful pur pose by infiumatory speeches made in Congress, it will then be time enough to comert public applause into public reprobation. The spit it, leeling, and character of the message have been all well calculated to make us all consid er not only the question itself, but the probable result of our filial action upon it. The ardent and uncompromising, stimulated, doubtless, by courage and national pride, httye drawn a the atrical picture ofihe future—tliev have brought us to gaze upon our laurelled warriors, planting the standard of freedom on the utmost verge of the couliuent laved by the waters of the Paci fic—trampling under their feet in proud con tempt the foul pretensions of ait ambitious nation. The prudent and the cautious, actua ted by the laudable puip'i^e of abating these kindiing fires of war, lit up by such flattering descriptions of tlie future, have reversed the pictuie, aud culled on us to contemplate scenes of desolation and wo—ravaged coaRs*— plun dered cities—an exhausted treasury—and a country sinking deeper ami deeper into misfor tune and ruin. Permit me without being urged on by the heated ardor of the one, or fettered by the fears and apprehensions of the other, to the whole of Oregon:—whether that title is so unqubstiotialile and so iuilispuiabj‘\and so fn e from doubt and difficulty, tlmt w© could not without n sacrifice of our mitiptn! honor m ike a compromise of the boundary with Great Britain. And l apprehend that when this last issue comes to bo pres mied—if gentlemen should allow it to b« ptes- nte.J to the Anteii- cmi p oplo—it will ho found that tlie great laody of that people is in favor of a just, honorable, and penc-ful ari'ong -inent. 1 k tow that it litis been sdd cere and elsewhere that we must no to war and fight before we give u,» one inch of O.egon. I appreciate very highly that patri otic ardor which impels cert apt of our orators to prom! assertions ctf national rights, though the r limits should rii:4 into the ntisly regions of doubt and uncertainty. If they are i,i etror, they are pardonable, because coissecruibd by the genius of freedom. Tin ir rashness—.| they be rash—is captivating, because it is the heated outburst of devotion to tlie.r country. We cannot find an arbiirator in whom we can confide. We claim the whole—unquestiot a^ ble, indisputable right to the whole country.—> We k «>W tb it individual cases, where tlieie is no arbiter or tiihunal set up to determine the matter in controversy betwten llte two piivate individuals anywhere, (hat the man that refuses to compromise—insisting upon the whole extent -ajwliti claims judgment for himself-—detertni- n ng for himself the e.xteut ©f his rights—1 say that man gains the character, ur may gain the character, <-f obstinate courage, but it.evittbly loses the prouder oharacterisl 9 of wisdom, jus. lice, and ©toleration. Now, I have always thought that since the discovery of America the best settled duct tine, though coutrovei^e.d, was, that discovery was a su£«cieut fouudatioii for title; < r l suppos: that it ts not disputed, pro vided it is followed up by possession. Ali Eu rope making discovering lly te, recognized iu { the 1 at ires tlie right of occupancy 5 but ihe dis. coverer alone hud the right of making tirms Tueir boldest fi ghts of daring oratory are stiut- j with the nut.yes, either by conquest or putqhaye; "* ‘ ■’ ' * '' ' ... 1.0'body else cuuld interfere. The discoverer bail this tight, but held sidtj.-c; to the native right of occupancy. liut I say that if you re cognise the tight of the ua i\es to occupancy, sajtlcniput coo'd not be necessary to pgifept the title. The grant wa$ good, and you permit me to hold as l<>ng us vop chop^e; \yli|!e the native icm.tius there, you respect his tight of occupancy, but the discover, r still has, in my puiWru. tjoii of the Jaw, the tight at any time, hy c< nquest or purchase, to carty out an^l per fect I.is titl r . That has been my po>i'.ion on that suhj. ct. I had thought that that was more or less acquicscul in a.-cordiiig (o the ugages ulited, because they have s'.rctclied the ques tion beyond its legitimate limits, and made the j giving of the notice the test of national co.tr- j age. I am myself favorable to the notice, nn I j shall sustain it as a measure peaceful, in ccsj t j ry, and proper. I am myself favorable to tut honorable negotiation—an honorable treaty, if | such an one can be made. It is on tit s latter ! pout that almost the only d fibretice—at lea-t, i the largest difference—of opinion exists ip the j minds of the American Congress.

WITHOUT FAIL IN ANY INSTANCE S OLOMON LEVI A CO., respectfully nfferto the pub lic ibeir self prepared, well tested and highly effectual preparation for exterminating HaU, Mice, Cock-Reaches Ants, and Bed-Bugs! S. Levi A Co . promise those of the public, who may be annoyed by these destructive vermin, that after using this well tested anil highly effectual preparation for a few days, they will experience a complete riddance ofall this vermin. This preparation possesses the singular property, that without being actual poison, il will not only kill the Rais, Mice. Ac., but will. Iu consequence of the smoke it produces, positively compel those that do oot partake of it, precipi tately to leave the hoose. This preparation has now been in use in Germany and France a be at throe years; and been pronounced, by every one who lit. given it a fair trial, the boat remedy they have ever used tor the extermination of Rats, Mice, Auts, Cock* Roaches, and Bed-Bu»s. The *r,ic!p( composing lb is composition are in themselves very Innocent, and contain not a particle of poison; but when combined crea'e a gas, which explodes tip: siojqach, and consequently destroys life in a few hours. As soon as it bat effected the stomach, the articles become neutralised and will affect nothing thereafter, so that there can be no danger in its usa noder any circumstances. The direction* for using tbe preparation accompany eve ry box, and are cheap and simple. S. Levi A Co„ guarantee the Expulsion of Vermin from any place where their preparation i* used. It has never yet tailed. 03* For sale in Macon oaly by M. BARTLETT D,Member 18,1845, 1? ff* cptis’der litis question in the spirit of calmness t-nd prudence. Is O.egon, i:i truth on princi ples ol justice, a territory of the United States? Loir title to the 54th parallel of lutittlle un questionable and uninciimheied I Js tlietp any difficulty about it ? If you answer there is uone, then there is left for us but one course, the maintenance of those rights, peaceably if we may, forcibly if we must. It has been the business of some to give us very glowing descriptions of the commercial and agricultu ral advantages of Qregon ; whilst others have in a I these respects depreciated its value—rep resented it as a territory unproductive and ster- il, I do not conceive Dint its value c nters le gitimately jtjto a discussion of the question of right- If every aere were a gardon—if every river wero a stream of wealth—if every har bor »ere the safe depository and mart f>r the world’s mighty commerce—if the whole coast wero indented with commodious and safe ro ll pits for the naval arn a nents t f the world, yet were opr claims not founded in truth, justice* would demand the instant abaudo micnt of all our pretensions But if cur title be clear, unquestionable, unincumbered to the whole territory, th. n if it were a bleak and rocky desert, scarcely habitable by the moun tain goat, honor would require lliat we should make no surrender ur.td first the title had bei n cancelled by the last will and testament of the republic. 1 propose to divide the issues pic- ocnted on tiiis question. There is but one question—that is, of tlio notice. But with this question of notice has been blended the assertion of uncompromising right to the whole teriitory; aud in consequence of this blending of issues improperly united, I Conceive that many gentlemen have been placed in an im proper position before the country. Take the issu'8 together-—the notice to Gieat Britain to quit, and the determined assertion without any negotiation or compromise of the right to the whole territory—tvliat is the result ? There is hut one alternative, and that is war, or an un conditional surrender on the part of the Brit ish government for fear of war. And who can believe for a moment that that government will relinquish the*r.dvuntnges which it lias enjoy ed there without being pet milted even the right to negotiate? But divide these issues, and we can all go for the notice os an unques tionable right—a right that is necessary—a right that can be peacefully exercised—a right sanctioned by the stipulations of tite treaty itr selP. Then what do we do ? \Ve leave then but one question open, and lhat is our title to lion of it.? Executive. [Here a few sent nc s ■ of European Italians. 1 know very will that wete inaudible in the gallery.] Whi tt called j th re haie been some exceptions to this, but as upon, Isliall also be prepared to make tho b.-st 1 a general rule I believe that ibis is collect. I ' think that the Brilislt minister did tvpll, in fely* ing on the rights conferred on tlie British gov ernment by the Nootka Sound convention.— Now, whether that convention tyus abrogated by tite war of 1?9S, as I am ittciiin d lo iti tik it was, is anotlte* question, for, iu general, trpa- t;es sre pot ipso facto made void by war— pecial'y such ns make stipulations for territorial tights a e not abrogated by war, but reviyp again on the return of peace, unless some stip ulations of an after treaty be repugnant to it. Some contend that before the treaty of NcpL ka sound, the British had as much right notfli of the Spanish settlement at Nootka as the hit: ter had. Bui 1 am willing to agree with the Secretary of State in regarding it as;t conintcr-r cial treaty, conferring commercial privileges; and in that view, I am pot prepared to insist that the war of 1T9Q did, or did not, abrogate it. But, sir, atmllier view tvas presented by the Senator yesterday. Suppose it was uot abro gated, apd that some rights or privileges re mained pot destroyed by tite war—suplt us the right of fishing, pf settling, of earning on coin: merce, of navigation: novy thgt tin y did ac quire tltesp rights it is true ; of tlieir value to them they are the best judges; for not only in tlie debates of the Brii.sh Parliament, but in tho speech qftlie king himself, he refers to the sul r ject, and calls attention to the case of two Brit ish vessels which were captured by a Spuuish- man-of-war; their cargoes takep possession of, and their crews brought prisoners into a Span ish port. What did they demand t They de? matided satisfaction for the violence committed; they demanded reparation fqr tite injury sustai ned ; and when titpy did so, the Spanish gov ernment replied, “ We have already done so. Your vessel aud property has been restored; and the viceroy of Mexico only did the act un? der the impression that you had made an infrac tion of Spanish rights.” On the second of No? ventber, in the same year, we find from the de bates in the British Parliqmei.t that there }vas another communication from his Majesty to the House of Commons, in which he states, in al luding tq the qbqve ca^e, that jlte only object ho had was satisfaction for the violence committed at Nootka, and without saying ueything of tho commercial rigftL, or right of fishing or settling on the coast. That was in November; and ia December the Uqusc of Commons voted him their thanks for whqt be did. What diJ they say? Tnat they had acquired anything in soil or territory ? Not at all; but after presenting tlieir I Its tigs to the king for preserving the peace and effecting tlie treaty, they speak ofi having secured to Itis subjects the right cf set tling and tradii'g, which were the objects soqght. In Parliament, the ministers of the crown said they had made a great acquis tiott that they acquired rights tboy uever had be fore. He held that tho pol cy wqs lopg sine© exploded of takiug entire possession of a coun.- try by puking down a cross, or putting up a standard in the kiug’s name, trial lie bad a i ight to fi:h in every sea, and trade on the coast; and that the doctrine of title from the Pope’s pretended power of ratifying a first discovery, was entirely exploded. This was his view ol the question. As then, the purpose of tho king, as is inaiii'est from his language b' th be fore and after the treaty, was not soverc guty or jurisdiction, but the right of navigation, of settling on the coast, of fishing, &c., I have re ferred to his speeches, and those of members of Parliament, to show they did nqt acquire ti em by the treaty of 1790. I refer to the la’ g iago of the minister to show that tho question of sov ereignty was not established. Another re mark, although il may not have much weight with some. At the time the Pope made the grant to Ferdinand, of America, after its disco very by Columbus, not ono of the nations of Europe but acknowledged the sufficiency of such a title. The power ol the severepon- t lf tvas acknowledged overall Cbris'.etnium.— Not a sovereign but was ready to bold his lands, and prostrate himself on his knees, and rep ive his crown at the hands > f the pout ff.— They held them so, At last tiiis question arose: ** Can the operation of a law bo valid 4 hundred years after it has ceased to be acknowl edged ?” All Europe—dukes, princes, empe rors, and among the rest the kings of England —stooped to the pontiff to receive tlieir crowns at his hands; and it wss not till 1493 that a solitary exception or dispute aFo.se about i’- It was an offspring of the reformation by Luther. The Spanish king had made a proclamation complaining cf English depredations on Span ish America, when Queen Elizabeth first ques tioned the pot tff*s power, saying that where a thing was stolen, it ought to he restored; but that she denied thp right, derived from his ho liness, to the thing claimed by tbe Spanish king; that she owed the Pope no allegiance, acknowledged no obedience tit him, and could not be supposed to respect his acls. That question, produced by the reformation, changed international lqw. England, to that time, had argument in my power favorable to our claim; but when I make that argument, will I not be compelled to admit that grave questions of international law are involved in the discussion, and that while I put my own construction on them, honorable and patriotic men may differ from me as to the settled doctrines existing be tween nations? While I makeup my own argument in favor of our claims, will I not be compelled to admit that many of the facts in volved are contradictory ? And while 1 feel the weight of lestimouy to be on our side, still that there is testimony on the other side, which the opposite party may not be sq wjljiqg tq yield, as weak aud imbecile. Tite honorable senator from Indiana, [Mr. Hannegan,] has made an able and eloquent speech and in it he took occasion to insinuate that the South was not sq much fijr Oregon as they had been for Texas. I am not disposed to turn tlie ta- bles, and say that some gentlemen were uot so much for Texas as they ape for Qregon, Mr. HANNEGAN. Will the senator al low me to say one word ? The tiiqo has now come when 1 should give the reason why I.was not so much for Texas. Both Texas and Ore gon were united in the Baltimore Convention. But I dreaded if Texas went first—{ dreaded Punic faith. Yes, Punic faith Mr. COLQUITT. I ftel very much in debted to the honorable gentleman for his ex plartation. He L an able statesman. But it happens that h{s reluctance to act tvas bufure the Baltimore conveutjop. I do not wish, how ever, to bandy words. I was very much plea sed with the argument of the geuileman, but I do not like—(Here the speaker turned round to Mr. JIannegan, and the remainder of tlie sentence was lost to the reporter.) The hon orable senator in his vpry iibL speech, relied on the discovery by Spain, and assumed it as a fart undoubted that: tjie discovery alone, with- out having been followed by settlement and oc cupancy, was a sufficient foundation for title. But litis question arises—is that a settled doc trine of national law? The senator argues that it i*. Another question arises—if a discov ery is a sufficient foundation for title, must that discovery be made under the sanction of a gov ernment, or wiij it be still sufficient, tfiq tgh made merely iu the prosecution of individual enterprise ? These are questions, and there are others also in this controversy, which, al though my whole feelings and judgiue it ate in favor of the Ampripqn side, yet I ntu>t admit, as an honest man and a statesn an, ar@ yet un settled. I ant compelled to admit, und it seems to nte that every honorable senator must admit, that these d lie ate and important ques tions have not been so well settled as no lunger to remain open to deb ite. Again, when a set tlement is m^de, what must be its character, in order to benefit the country from which t|ie settlers come? Is t.ot that a grave question al so involved ? Is il settled ? Is it fixed ? Is it debatable ? Again j how ffir from thp local ity where settlement is made will an unquos- tionable title extend ? Is not that also a deba table question? Is it not likewise involved in this controversy ? And again, I say, tvlt le nty own feehngs are favorable lo the decision made by our Secretary of State, and the argumt nt urged yesterday hy the honorable s?na:or from Indiana—whilst these are my own convictions —I am compelled to admit that these are grave questions of international law, and facts too in volved in this matter on which honest men nitty well d'fiir before settling down into conviction. I would not make these remarks—I would not have felt myself called upon to do so—but from the character which the debate has assu med. It has been assumed that by the law of nations, the Spanish title g'ves us 54° 40 1 ; that discovery is of itsi If sufficient to give a title against all the balance of the world. Well, 1 have fell myself t ailed upon lo make son e re- marks upon that view of the question; und I will now proceed to make another remuik, and will offer some observations to strengthen it,— No matter bow strong my convict ons may bo with regard to the validity, of our title. ) am too weli acqua nted witli the structure of tlie human mind nut to know t!“ 1 my own individ ual feelings at d wishes may have some influ ence ou nty judgment. I ant too well acquain ted’ with the helings which sway the human heart, not to admit that the feelings and wist es of the people of the country m which I live may likewise have some influence on nty judg ment. There is no arbiter lo whom we can submit—to whom we are willing to submit—in whose impartial judgment we arc willing to con fide. How, then, stands the case? Great Britain and the people of the United States put forth tin ir claims, each In his own court, and each with his own advocate and judge, And does not every body see that each putting his own construction upon international lu\v, and qpon fuels, and persisting in it, there is bqt one mode or settlemen\ and that will be by tlie sword Arbi'fiiioa is oiu of the question.—
