" dishon orable ;" a " surrender of the nation's hon or by the chief magistrate : " a violation ofthe constitution he had sworn to sup port ; no censure ! the amendments offered by ihe sena tor from south carolina we're liable in similar objections the only difference was the original resolutions censured what the amendments lauded the president for having done the senator from south carolina had with some warmth denied that he had lauded the president lie mr haywood was not to be considered bv that senator as intending to be disrespect ful to him personally because he did not tit once more precisely define his position he certainly did not mean to charge that senator with oflfering praise to the chiel magistrate but he meant to assert that the amendments which he had proposed were laudatory in like manner as ihe ori ginal resolutions were condemnatory — the senator would himself agree that il a respectful enunciation of what was be lieved to be a fair and necessary interpre tation of a moiion or resolution offered tc the senate was to be regarded as in an degree personal towards the author we would thereby be imposing a violent re striction upon the freedom of debate — mr calhoun nodded his assent if must slill maintain the truth of the propo sition that the amendments were resolu lutions to praise that which ihe original resolutions censured that which the ori ginal resolutions declared to be dishonor able and unconstitutional the amendments declared to be honorable and constitution al the senator himself had shown that the original resolutions were a censure by implication and the consequence was in evitable that the amendments wen to the same extent laudatory by like implication neither the one nor the other looked be yond this declaration of opinions by the senate both stopped short of any mc tical legislation the original resolutions as well as the amendments took into the senate's hands prematurely the subject of our negotia tions before the executive had done with it ; before the senate had inquired of him or otherwise knew whether he had done wilh it : and before the senate had advis ed him lo terminate his negotiations and turn it over to our legislation whether that wen to be done by resolutions of cen sure or of praise made r.o sort of differ ence ir would be an unauthorized intru sion on our part a premature action of the senale and in his judgment unsafe undignified unconstitutional and he hop ed that senators for the sake ofthe coun try and the senate would on all sides put a stop to it at once all hough he did not go into any examination of our negotia tions with great britain but abstained from it at this time on purpose he did not doubt that this manner of bringing ore gon info the senate would embarrass those negotiations : and the adoption ofthe res olutions or ofthe amendments would put our country as well as ihe president and and senate in^pfalse position if he might be excused such a liguve in the senate he would say he was willing to take hold of oregon whenever it came into the se nate hi ad foremost but not to drag it in tail foremost ; and when it was legitimate ly there he would only inquire what it be came tar u states to do regardless ofthe favor and fearless of the complaints of olher nations the president had this subject in his charge under the constitu tion and if any believed he was not the best qualified or not no well qualified as they were lo manage its negotiation still he was the president and had the consti tutional right and power to do it until he had closed negotiation the original res olutions would entirely disarm him the amendments would weaken our position as well as his for whether so designed or not still in the eyes of great britain they would appear to be a senatorial of fer ofthe line at 111 degrees for a compro mise after that offer had just been refusal anil the president informed the nation he had forthwith withdrawn it an oiler made with that sort of hasty zeal or the appearance of it might excite expecta tions abroad fatal to the final settlement of ihe controversy but mr ii said the senator from in diana had maintained that " negotiation had ended and wilh an air of triumph he had read quotations from the presi dent's message all this might be so and what then .' il the president had already taken ground as the senator supposed for all ol oregon or none — if he had al ready committed himself and the nation to that position then what more did the senator want i for what purpose should it be reasserted every day did not the senator apprehend that these oft-repeated and violent assertions of our rights and high resolves might bring our courage or oursincerity intoquestion before the world did he not see that great britain would be misled by it to suppose that we were actually alarmed and disposed to play a game of brag for oregon and that we talked to keep up our national courage ? if the president's message was correctly interpreted by the senator then had the chief magistrate done precisely what the senator wished : and yet he a friend of the president desired the senate to say to him by his resolutions that wc doubt ed his ability to stand iirm ; that we ques tioned his firmness in maintaining the con stitution and the national honor and there lore the senate had found it expedient to threaten him with the consequences if he should recede an inch and this in the senate of the united states this was a proposition ofthe senator to the demo cratic party too : to the president's friends to the president's own political household ! the incidents of the morning had shown the possibility nay the certainty of a war if this course was persevered in he did not mean a war with england ; for he de clared in all sincerity that although he should regard such a war as perhaps the greatest calamity that could befall the ci vilized world yet for himself he had not lost an hour's sleep lor the apprehension of it that he did not believe there was ihe slightest peril of a war between eng land and the united states al this time ;— none whatever but the war he predict ed and it was the inevitable consequence of this sort of proceeding was a war in ihe senate a home-contest a domestic af fair altogether a war amongst the pre sident's political friends ; a senatorial war in the democratic party of leader against leader which would be more of an octa gon battle than an oregon war he ap pealed lo democratic senators frankly and in the face of our political opponents to slop this thing and in view ofthe considerations already feebly urged upon their patriotism he did not abate one iota of his demands upon senators of all par ties for their hearty co-operation in secur ing to the president the benefit of an ar mistice let the president have two moons to settle our affairs with foreign governments before the rein is madly snatched from his hands congress had hern in session less than a month and half of the time had been a holyday ; and it was surely expecting very little of his friends to allow him one month or even two months more and our united support o conclude a dispute of nearly half acen tury with great britain in which the whole country was so deeply interested if he did no't command our confidence or if for any other reason the senale were too zealous lo wait a little while upon him why not at any rate let the door be closed upon our impatient counsels and address a respectful inquiry to him whe ther he had really abandoned negotiations ? or if he had not and the senate choose to do it advise him to slop all further ne gotiations and to inform the senate of all that h;ts been done by him ? the senate would still have time to act and the in formation ihus lo be derived from ihe ex ecuiive would aid their counsels or it might even modify some of iheir opinions al all events the president's friends ought not to do less than that before their judg ment was pronounced in the premises the president had not communicated to the senate all the correspondence on this subject of oregon as had been stated in the debate lie had not professed to do so : not at all if the senator from indi ana would read the message again he would see that the president therein in formed the senate that in october 1643 the american minister to london teas au thorized to offer a compromise c he did not communicate all or any ofthe corres pondence with that minister or his suc cessor he had not said nor intimated that these instructions had been revoked by our government he had said noth in upon that point either way true he had made an offer and withdrawn it here whether it was the same or only simi lar to the one which the american min ister had authority to offer who knows he reaffirmed our title to all of oregon to be sure ; but as for that he had again and again asserted our title to all of ore gon in every part of his correspondence wilh the british minister and in the very act of proposing a compromise he did all lhat he mr 11 did not know any more about the state of our relations and nego tiations with great britain than other se nators but these facts were before the na tion and they might be deemed worth consideration before the senate should as sume as a point settled — a fixed fact — wilh the senator from indiana lhat " ne gotiations had ended he certainly might well insist upon them as abundantly suffi cient to excuse an inquiry of the presi dent when taken in connexion with the lapse of time since the date of the last cor respondence sent to the senate and the possible resumption of negotiation by him wilh the british minister before the pre sident's own friends voted to displace him from his appropriate duties — to censure him by implication or to threaten him by anticipation some interlocutory remarks were made between mr hannegan and mr hay wood which the reporter did not hear so as to render them with certainty : after w hich — mr hannegan said that the presi dent had given the information in his mes sage as plainly as a b c and where was the necessity of asking him whether we should move or not he who could not understand the plain language ofthe president that the negotiation was at an end must have a singular obliquity of mental vision he mr ii had then on ly to pursue his own course if hereafter be should see proper to pursue any par ticular course he would move without asking the president's permission so far as etiquette was concerned he cared no thing it was the substance which he de sired but he would ask the particular friend of the president as the senator ap peared to be on this occasion how would he defend him if the negotiation was still pending and the president had published his message to the world ? did he not call on congress to act ? did he not re commend notice to be given to g britain forthe termination of the joint occupation that wc should occupy to a certain ex tent the territory and erect stockades and forts he said that the negotiation was at an end and yet we were to ask the pre sident was it time to act ! the senator from n carolina appealed to his friends to stand by him in rejecting these resolu tions but he mr ii called on him as maintaining the principles of the balti more convention to stand by the procla mation of his party in the same resolu tion texas and oregon rose and met and should be maintained were we divided there ? he asked the senator not to ad here to men but to adhere to the declara tions of party made in solemn convention by this he was willing to live or die no compromise at forty-nine ; the people in his country would never consent to such a surrender he repeated in the words of his resolutions that it would be dishon orable and cowardly to surrender in reply to mr hannegan's allusion to him as ihe peculiar friend ofthe president mr haywood made some further re marks the substance of which was that it was due to the president to state that he had held no conference with him : that his motion and his remarks were sugges ted altogether by the events ofthe morn ing ; and in truth he had seen the presi dent only once since the present congress commenced excepting when he paid the formal visit to his family customary a mong senators upon their first arrival it was due to the senator from indiana how ever that he should admit that he mr i fay wood was a peculiar friend of the president ;" that he was the president's friend and presidents and other politi " cians between the capes which bounded this district he had found out iiad few very few sincere friends to which mr hannegan rejoined : would to god he had an honest friend who would talk honestly to him the resolutions were iiien ordered to lie on the table as already stated what the ladies have done in a certain jointly of ohio the last remain ing distillery has been stopped and converted into atempetance hall by the ladies they alter many remonstrances appointed a com mittee of sis to wait upon the distiller and request him lo desist he refused — hut it happened that the husband of a lady in the neighborhood who was a strong athletic wo man was in the habit of visiting the distillery and remaining often days at a lime in a must beastly state of intoxication his wife had frequently remonstrated wilh the distiller but to no purpose — he would sell one day her husband having been absent longer than usual she went to hunt him the distiller told her that he was not there but she persisted in the declaration that he was the brute of a man attempted lo put her out when she turned upon him and threw him into a mud-hole some two feet deep and his clerk coming to his assistance she treated him in the same way she then found her husband in the distillery being in a dying slate she lifted him tip supported his feeble frame to her home told the distiller lhat she would give him three days to close up his business and if he did not she would bring a reinforcement of ladies and tear it down on ihe second day he sent her word he had closed up and the distillery was taken possession of and opened for a temperance meeting ! can't the ladies do something in this cause ? s c t advocate bible teetotalism by referring to the 1st chapter of the gospel of st luke we shall
