hthe House, Mr.. Hunt gave notice ofa
resolution he intended 10 submit to change
the constitution so q to render the Presi-
dent Of the United States ineligible to a

DEc. l9.--M tie Nsnats, Mr.. Atchison
introduced his bill for the organization Of
the Territory Of Oregon, and moved ito re-
ference to the committee on Territories.
Mr.. Archer objected to its going to that
committee, and maintained that the COM
mittee on Foreign Relations was the pro-
per one to take charge Of the subject. "A
debate followed, in which the friends Of
Oregon advocated the reference proposed
by Mr.. Atchison, and its enemies, the
wings, opposed such reference. The mo-
ton Of Mr.. A. was defeated ayes FL,
nays 24-the vote being strictly party
one. The motion Of Mr.. Archer, to refer
the subject to the committee on Foreign
Relations, to be strangled, was also defeat
ed. Mr.. Walker then moved to commit Il
to select committee, which was agreed to;
and Messrs. Atchison, Walker, Rives,
Crittenden and Allen, were appointed said
committee.


In the House, message was received
from the President, communicating copies
Of certain dispatches received from our
Minister at Mexico. This is the angry
correspondence with the Mexican Secre-
tary of State Of which mention has already
been made. The President enters into a
defence Of the course pursued by his ad-
ministration in its efforts to re-annex
Texas to the Union, and utterly denies the
right Of Mexico or any other nation to
interfere. He does not recommend re-
sort to offensive or retaliatory measures
towards Mexico, but contents himself with
urging as the most appropriate notice to be
taken Of the clustering Of Mexico, the
prompt and speedy annexation Of Texas.
After the message was read, Mr.. Houston
called up his bill for the reduction and
graduation Of the price Of the public lands;
when Mr.. Ficklin, Of Illinois, took the
floor in its defence, and spoke for the re-
mainder of the day.
