SENATE.


MONDAY, February 3.
Much private business was brought before
the Senate, petitions presented, &c.j and re-
ferred, which the reporter, being engaged IN
the House, did not obtain the particulars ot.
About half past l2, MIR. II. Knox Walker en-
tered with a message from the President. IT
was that he had signed the Texas Post Office
and Post Routes Bill and, also, the copies OF
the correspondence, as furnished TO the House
on Saturday last Shortly after, the Senate
took up ssBill Al }" for the augmentation OF
the Nsvy by the addition OF iron war steam
ers. And Mr. Westcott who has delayed the
vote on the bill for nearly two weeks, address
ed The Senate In continuance Of his remarks,
that were interrupted last Thursday by his be-
ing taken unwell.
When MIR. Westcott concluded, Mr.Dick-
inson said, that in consequence OF MT. EAR
field being unavoidably absent from his seat,
he proposed that The bill be passed over inlor,.
mally. On this and on the other modes Of
postponement, very exciting debate arose
Mr.. Haywood moved TO lay the bill on the
table


Mr.. Sewer moved TO postpone


Mr.. Yulee was in favor OF pos,ponement.
A warm debate ensued, and much sharp
shooting between Messrs. Mangum, Bagby,
Allen and Cass, in the course Of which Mr.. J..
M. Clayton moved to adjourn. Mr.. Cass was
very eloquent on the subject. He denounced
the policy Of doing nothing because we could
not do every thing. He would augment the
Navy, even if we did not make it superior to
that Of Great Britain AS to Mr.. Mangum's
appeal in relation TO business being disturbed,
though disturbance of business injured him
as much as any one, but disruption Of all
business was nothing, if necessary to preserve
our honor. We were defenceless last war
we are defenceless now. This city and Bla-
densbnig stood Just as they did then. ".


The motion OF Mr.. Clayton 10 adjourn now
prevailed, and every body, senat0rs and all,
hastened to the House, to hear vote taken
on the Oregon question, il beius 70 minutes
past O'Clock. .l.e.
