the very reason, that he did not wish in vote on the Blllsrelating to the territory of Oregon. until he knew what use would be made of it. All agreed that the question should be set. tied now. If the country wanted war. thev cou-d.g 1t by going beyond 49-by refusing fur. .ner negotiation, put neither the country, nor the Senate, was in favor of any extreme measurfss MT. Il repeated 10 day, in strong terms h;s declaratlon that the Presi dents views had been mlsrepresented here, by those W ho had under. taken to speak for him, in regard to his position on the Oregon question :; and that the presi. dents manifest intention was to compromise upon 49 'e'A's

 MT II. was of the opinion, that it would De extremely impolitic to send back the House resolution, and reopen the subject there for ao. itaiion. He had no objection to Mir. CRITTrS. pENs amendment,f if the act was to originate here

 AS 70 MT. CoLouiTT's proposition, he oppos. eo II Tor many reasons, which he gave at length -one oi "h'ch way, that 1t appeared to him to insist upon compromise bewteen the 49th and Columbia river, which he himself could not agree to. When NIT. H. concluded his remarks.

 Mr. HANHEGAN rose to make some remarks. upon what he considered the most cxtraordina. " speech he had ever heard in his life. He wished to put ieston to the Senate or from N- C., and he had reduced it to writing. Had the Senator the authority of the President of the U, B. directly, or indirectly, to state that he would @ compromise the Oregon question on the MT. HAywooD--What have said. 1 wifi print. What said on thls subject, I wrote before said Il, Ter fear of some mistake. 1 saia 'ha' TOT the President to authorize any one, Tn his present situatIo n, 10 stale what he wonld do, would be unwlse and impolitic. Mir. ALLEN--l construe the answer of tho l Senator into negative

 MT HAYwooD-l have already endeayored to prove that the Senator was a bad hand at construction.

 MT. hLLEN--Ihe senator assumed to speak Tor the President of the United States. If he did not speak upon his authority, stand ready to deny that he expressed the views of ,l,e Pre-. sldent.

 Mir. HAYwooD-If l stood in the situation ot the Chairman Of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, would be ready to answer all questions put to me, or quit. But no Senator has right to ask questions of me

 1 MT. ALLEN--l did not demand II as n person. al right, but public right. The Senator has made an exposition of the views of the President of the United States which is incorrect. MT. WEsTcorT--I call the gentleman to or der l object to any discussion here about the opinions of the President of the United States. No man has right to bring them here. MT.

 MT. ALLEN again rose,

 Mir. HAYwooD--I am glad to see that my speech Mkes.

 Mir. ALLEN-It will not take,

 Mir. HANNEGAa said it was not necessary tor his purpose that the Senator should answer any question. In reply to the Senator, he would say that there was no truth in men, and no meaning in language, if the President was not committed to 54 40. He had stood con- mitted to i., before all the world, since l844 as he went on to shew from his Cincinnati letter, hls message, and other sources, If the Presi- dent should turn traitor and betray the stand ard which was committed to him, he, for ono. would recent 1t without fear or hesitation. If the President should compromise upon the 49th, he would be sunk into an infainy so profound, damnaton so deep, that the hand of resur- rection could never draw him forth, Mr. HAN. NEaAN made some stil stronger remarks of this character upon the President, when MT. MAN. GUM rose and called the gentleman to order.
