Among the proceedings Of the Uni
ted States Senate on the 2nd instant.
the following is reported:


A resolution was differed by Mr..
dayton calling on the President to
state whether, in his opinion our Or
egon relations do not require an in.
crease of the army and navy.


1t is little astonishing that these
wings, who little while ago, either
knew nothing at all of James X. Polk
or only had heard of him as a "fnh.
rate Tennessee lawyer" now wish to
consult him upon all sides, and wish
to put upon his shoulders the whole
responsibility Of our foreign relations.
The Senate can have possession Of all
the diplomatic correspondence known
to the President, and yet they are un~
able to tell whether the army and ma
Wy should be increased & wish James
K. Polk's opinion to enlighten them.
-Vicks. Sen.
