next steamer and have due effect on the business
of the country. Injuries had been sustained 70
the amount OF millions, and with all respect TO the
Executive he must say, that he consideredlt veryl
unfortunate that il had suffered this question To-
stand In so doubtful posture for so long time 1
He thought that the English government was
watching Cor SOME expression OF the views Oh Inc
Senate. 0sse a5' -


"Mr Cass said that resolution Of the Senate
would have no more effect on the action of the
English government, than would vote of the
Common Council of the corporation OF w ashlng-
ton city, England looked to the Executive. When
the message was first sent IN, he foresaw that all
this difficulty would arise. Every days reflection
ana observation nad since confirmed this impress
sion He conceived that our affairs were in most
critical state-that Great Britain must gainsay
much that she has said, and relinquish much that
she has claimed before the question can be settled
by negotiation. 1t was not her habit thus TO re-
cede and further, that no American statesman
talks of yielding anything South of 49 degrees.
The British Minister knew, or at least thought he
knew the views of his own Government, W hen
he so promptly rejected the proffer of a comprom-
ise on the 49th parallel, without even sending 1t
home In his opinion, this was almost conclusive
proof that Eng gland did not intend to come to the
forty-ninth degree. In his estimation, there was
nothing very pacific in The 81 eech of Sir Robert
Peel although others thought so. 1t was but an
intimaton that, in courtesy, our last proposition
should have been sent to England, but IT by no
means went 10 show that 1t would have been ac-
cepted but that it was possible that another pIoPo-

land. If the last advices are so pacific, why has
not something grown out of that state OF feeling
across the Atlantic? Why has proposition
been made by England since? If Mr.; Pakenham
has done so wrong, why is he not recalled? ? Gen
Cass next commented at length on the Queens
speech, and the conduct of Mr.. Pakenham in re-
iecting the offer without referring it 10 his Govern
ment Believing that the latter acted on what he
considered the views of his Government he prals-


ed him for so prompt and bold assertion of those


views. He had known an American minister


hooted throughout England for standing up boldly
to the views of his government. In this country,


he hoped the minister of foreign state who adopts
that course, will be praised for it.


' omitted 10 stale in the proper place, that Mr.
Calhoun urged a cogent reason for prompt ac-
ton the fact, that it necessary TO prepare the
finances of the Government for the shock which


would come upon them in case OF war. He con-


ceived it of great importance TO do this as soon as
possible, If there is really possibility OF war;


| " Mr. Hannegan proposed amendment TO


Judge Co!quitt's first resolution the substance of


which is to strike shat portion of it leaving 1t


to the discretion of the President, 10 delay giving
the Notice until after The session ends He stated
his object 10 be to avoid the necessity OF an extra
session. This amendment also extended 10 the


second resolution of Judge c., by which that is


made 10 express the sense of the Senate 10 be,


simply, that it is desirable 10 terminate TIE con-
troversy by negotiation, (omitting the word com


promise,) prorided that in such event, no terrific


ry 10 which have the better title should be given
up. Judge CoquiIt conceived that this amend


ment did not help the question: Tor VINO was 10 De


the better Judge? He was of opinion that ouI
, title was best to the whole territory-bot Great
, Britain thought otherwise. We could have no
common referee, and therefore under the operation
, of this amendment there could be no negotiation
: and must then ensue.


Mr. Penny backer closed the debate in an ad
mirable Speech sustaining the views of Judge
Colqut with reference the proper Interpretation


10 be given to the Message. He declared his In


tention for the Notice If it is TO tend tc
peace which it could not do if given as TO pre-
cIude the acceptance part of any thing less
than fifty -four, forty"
