In looking over the files of the Appendix to the Washington Globe, for the lst session of the 18th Congress, we find recorded at page 98 a report of the following speech, which was delivered by MT. Allen ill the U. S. Senate in January, 1844, and which, we believe, had not appeared before in our paper. It comes directly to the point now at issue between this governmet and that of Great Britain on the Oregon question, which Is exciting the most intense interest through out the country since the late arrival of the Caledonia. It will be seen that the same threatening attitude was assumed by the Brit ish government, at the time Mir. Allen sub mitted his motion in the United States Senate, calling on the President for information on the Oregon question, as now. The language then used in the English Parliament, was of similar import to that adopted by the British Minister in the late Parliamentary debate.- Our Ohio Senator, ever watchlul and jealous for the rights and honor of our common country, had the sagacity to foresee that no good would result to the republic from pro- longing a negotiation which bid fair to be interminable, or result ill an inglorious sur render of our just rights. Mr. Allen, as chairman of the committee on Foreign Af- fairs, now occupies a position to give eficien- cy to the principles which have uniformly guided him on this great national question, and the country may feel safe in confding to him the important duties which he will be called on to perform. The day has ar rived when the American people will not sub init to be robbed or swindled, through the intervention of prolonged course of diplo- matic negotiations, out of any portion of their territory, let the threat be made in what quarter it may. But our object in this place is not so much to enter into the merits of the Oregon question on our own part, as to direct attention to the admirable and pert- nent remarks which were made by Mir. Allen in the United States Senate some sixteen months since, in order to show their applica- bility at the present time.- Chillicothe .8d- uertiSer.
