We publish, In another column, the de. bate on the Oregon question, on the 4h and 5th inst's. MT. Haywood, in that de- pate, is supposed to have spoken by author- fly. of the President. On this point the Unson says:

 "May we be permitted to say, that we dld not ourselves understand Mir. Haywood as inc tending to speak authoritatiyely in .he name of ! the President, except from the printed docu- ments. We say, with all respect, that no man, out of his Cabinet, is authorized to speak er cathedra for him on this delicate and impor ant question. He has expressed his opinions in hls own message, or through the letters of the Sec. retary of State.-We presume. that no one has right to speak for him but from the documents which he has submitted to his country, His future course must be judged by his past con. duct"

 The West, so far as it speak, in the per. sons of Messrs. Hannegan & Allen, is op- posed to all compromise, and stands ready to drive the British out ol Oregon ri ct armis. This violent course will nol be sus- ianed by the people al large. Beyond 49o 1t Is contended, by men whose opinions are respected by the American people, that Eng land has rights, that cannot be dsregarded, il the principle ofJackson' $ administrations |" 10 ask for nothing but what is right, and submit to nothing wrong"--is adhered to. Senator Dix, m hls late able speech, as- sumed that such rights were in existence i: and Senator Benton endorsed this speech as satisfactory 10 all the friends of truth ard justice. In view of the whole question, as il now stands, We regard it as one of com, promise and negotiation beyond the 10th degree of north latitude. This opinion, we are glad 10 find, is held, with great unanm- fly in the South and there can bo but little doubt that il will control the administration in its adjustment of the question.

 In noticing the debate of the 4lh and 5lh nst's., the Richmond Enquirer says:

 "A word, now, as to the subject matter of the personal controversy between Messrs Hanne. gan and Haywood. It strikes us that no "ne. gotaton" is compatible with the exclusive C'uim up to Of utBreeS ana EU minutes. nat is tho extreme our claim. Great Britain will not surrender the whole of it-aud hence the nece ssity of negotiation for the best terms of settlement If we insist upon the whole, we had better prepare at once for war. But the House of Representatives have already, by large majority, in passing the "notice" rcsolu tons, expressly declared that the notice is not to interfere with the continuance of "negotia. ton" for pacific adjustment of the question. If the Senate adopt this or similar resolution, the President will have evidence that Congress have not dsclaimed the idea of further negotia- ton, nor have determined that our extreme claim to the Russian line must be sine q.ia non How, then, can the President, however firmly convinced in his own mnd that our right to the whole ofOregon is "clear and unquestion- able," in this new aspect of affairs, and in the face of this expression of opinion by the peo- plc's representatives, ipsst upon the whole claim, aud thereby certainly involve the country in war! Armed with this clear intimation ofthe wishes of Congress for further negotiation and a speedy settlement, he will under the obga- tions of his oath, proceed to the discharge of his duty, and, if possible, arrange such terms as will bring the controversy to an honorable and pacific adjustment"
