The Baltimore american represents
the substance Of Mr.. Speight's re-
marks in the Senate on the Naval
Bill, to have heen as follows:


"Mr. Speight, who was entitled TO
the floor, spoke at considerable length
against the bill. lfitwas war mea-
sure, it was entirely too small for that
object. Mr.. S. did not believe that
there was the least probability ofwar,
either with Mexico or Great Britain,
and therefore he could not vote for
any increased appropriations for the
Navy or any thing else. Mr.. S. took
occasion to give side blow to the
Tariff, 10 the course of his remarks,
which he said was the most oppressive
and iniquitous mode Of raising reve.
nne that had ever been adopted by
any nation.


Mr.. S. then went into the Oregon
question and spoke in favor of the
rights which Great Britain had in that
territory, and took occasion to regret
that Mr.. Buchanan had not made the
able argument which appeared in his
last letter before Withdrawing the Of
fer TO compromise on 490, instead Of
after, as it was by no means improba.
bic that it might have had such effect
with Mr.. Pakenham as to induce him
to accept that Offer"
