OrsgOn-Omess, Signs, Indications, Prssenfiments


Prognosfics and Predictions The Senate square
up toih Mr.. Calhoun.


Il does seem to us that the Senate but touch the
Oregon question, the clamor TOR war Is hushed, or
becomes an unmitgated absurdlty. The warning
voice Of the organ has had effect in bringing the
independents into the traces. Mr.. Allen adhered
this morning to the 9th instant as the ultimatum
of the postponement of the Oregon debate in the
Senate and he did it with the portentous potentia-
lity Of an oracle; as much as to say, "You have
heard the order-you must obey" But Haywood
was not SO disposed, and Westcott OF Florida, who
seems determined to act according to his own
judgment, even il il should run counter to king
caucus, had no notion OF a halfway compromise
in the matter; but moved to add two weeks to
the time dictated from the committee on foreign
relations. And it was carried. [See Senate re-
portl And then you ought 10 have seen the quiet
smile that played around the mouth OF Mr. Calhoun,
and how self complacently Mr. Haywood drew his
finger sover his chm; and how innocently Mr West
cot felt If his queue was still there; and how jolly
appeared Mr.. Lewis; and how perfectly placid aP-
peared Col Benton, and Colqultt, and Pennybacker,
and spesht and how So Mi crum cae. sn
peared Mr. Atchson; and hew absolutely Perplexed
seemed Mr.. Hsnnegan and how Indifferent the
Chairman on Foreign Relations tried to look, but
couldn't. Had you seen all this, it would have
satisfied you that s.raws do most conclusvely show
the DRIFT OF the wind.


And ten chances to one, when the resolution 10
taken up, it will be postponed again. Now, mark
YOU The fact is, the old stand-bys have no notion
of making great men out Of our younger aspirants
by submitting TO their leading of upon this ques.

In the House, to-day, Mr. Toombs, Of Georgia, aP,,
proved himself mastery speaker, and a sound and
critical pleader Alter arguing the invadlty OF both
titles to Oregon, he advocated the twelve monthe'
notice. i with q view to peace, and the speedy and
peaceable settlement Of the question.


Mr. Hamblin followed III a stirring appeal tor
"the whole or none." And then the House ae-
journed.


The Calhoun stock is up to-day.
