Long dsbate-Gen. Cdss eayvies lis Rssols-


tion touching the National defence tri-


smphastly.


Gen. Cass introduced into the Senate, at
IN early day, various resolutions touching
the National defence. These resolutions
the old General supported in an argument
which did honor to his great fame as a
man Of ability. The remarks made by Mr..
Cass are of the right stamp-they are such
as the American people will greet with
hazsas and clipping Of hands. The Gen.
eral takes the bold ground, fearlessly lay
ing it down that the Territory is ours, that
the government ought to maintain it; that
Great Britain will still persist, and that
We are able and should be prepared to meet
her. Mr.. Mangum, whig, and others Of
the same party, were almost frightened to
death, lest the debate should offend Great
Britain. They most earnestly erhorted
the old champion Of Michigan to forbear
lest we should be ruined by immediate
war. Mr.. Webster was also much dis
turbed, Crittenden saw nothing but the
old lion foaming. All was panic among
these Britishites; but Cass and the other
democratic Senators said, "Let him come,
we give him war or peace,-war if he per-
sists in claiming our soil-peace if he will
be of, and let the confines Of Liberty
alone" These poor British wings, see
ing that the resolutions would pass, and re-
membering the odium which their anti
war spirit gained for their party during
the last war, concluded it was best to save
) something, and all voted for the passage Of
the resolutions; thereby making a virtue
Of necessity indeed. Thus ended the war
panic.
