was within 3 inches of the greatest height i of the flood ot 1831 and was still rising the oregon question just before the final passage of the oregon notice resolutions through the senate the fol lowing passnge-at-arms took place between messrs crittenden and allen : mr allen then rose and said : we now rome to the main point in the controversy in which we are required to do a mural act and one upon which the welfare of the country rests : and in doing this act for mvself i shall act with reference to all its relations present and remote that may lie involved in it he proceeded at considerable length and closed as follows :] the senate does not say they want the trea ty ended no sir they want negotiation bar gain traffic to proceed ; hut they have not de elared that the convention shall end that is ihe state of the case the president told us he had done with negotiation and he recommended the law-making power to take up the subject ; and instead of doing so they divided faltering paltering manacled hampered with a frightful unwillingness to meet responsibility — say oh ! we leave it all to your discretion with all these things staring them in the face do you think great britain whose trident already holds the world in awe will crouch will get on her knees to us ! do you think you will encourage great britain to give up my thing by showing your unwillingness to claim any thing ? not at all i shall or one vote if i stand alone against such a proceeding trusting that the final result of ihe business may produce a resolution more in accordance with the interests and the dignity of the senate mr crittenden rose in reply and-suid he would not suffer imputations such as those which the gentleman had made against the ac tion and the character of the senate to pass al ' together without notice what asked mr c i is his commission and whence is it derived .' and who authorized him to assume here the air and tone of pre-eminence which so strongly marks his language when addressing the sen ate ? on what meat does this our caesar feed that he is to rise here and lecture us for decisions to which we have deemed it our duty to come ? where did he come from ? is it the ; little petty office of chairman of the committee ; on foreign relations which warrants him in hie own opinion to put on these airs of author ity ? to assume this predominance and to lec ture us to our official duty as he has now done ? the senate had just adopted a resolution propp ed to it by the senator from maryland mr r johnson when the gentleman from ohio gets : up and says in his place lhat the senate has hu miliated itself — that it has adopted a miserable feeble paltering contracted and as he would have said abject and slavish resolution let me tell him that he does not know this body nor the material of which it is composed nd let me add there is another and a more difficult lesson which i fear the senator has yet to learn and lhat is to know himself when he knows himself a little better he will be in circumstan ces boiler to appreciate what is due from him to i the senate lie may vaunt himself in his as sinned ollice of.exclusive vindicator of the pre sident of ihe united states and defender of the honor of the house of representatives ; hut lhat gives him no warrant of consideration as a member of the senate i feel that its dignity has been assailed and its character traduced my own personal share in the remarks of the gentleman and my own personal sense of in jury and offence are absorbed in the stronger conviction of the disrespect which has been manifested towards rhe body the senate has adopted the substance of a resolution which 1 had myself die honor to offer and the gentleman has felt himself authorized to characterize a re solution which had just received the sanction of this body as a poor paltry faltering timid trem ulous tiling i can tell that senator that the majority of the senate and the humble individ ual who now addresses it are as little moved by the dread of any responsibility but that of doing wrong as the chairman of the committee of foreign relations does it belong to this body to submit to re ; marks no matter with what force or vehemence of gesticulation and loudness of lone they be de livered which convey injurious imputations on its official course and public acts ? i for one shall not stand here to be rebuked nor to hear this senate schooled or called to an account by any such authority the gentleman undertakes to make himself the advocate and defenderof the house of representatives why sir who or what is the house of representatives i f the i - states that it stands in need of such an advocate the gentleman's advocacy of one of the nous es of congress is equally an act of su,-'c re rota tion shall i say of assumption wit "^ rebuke of the other " who here has arraigned the hou»e of representatives ? « "<> '» there a mom us who does no think and treat it with the most profound respect ivbo among us is now to learn from lhat very experienced gentleman that the house of representatives is a co-ordi ate branch of the american government ? and when before did any member of this body rise in his place and tell us we are to be controlled in our actio here by the action of majorities or the largeness of majorities in the other house of coo"reas1 the gentleman toils us of the mnjority by which a certain resolution has pass ed another body and he brings that here as an argument to govern and to control us in our in dependent legislative action what would the other house of congress think of a member there who should tell them that the senate had passed a certain measure and that out of a de cent respect to the senate they must pass it too | would not that ho u5 - think as vilely ot us could we be actuated by such a motive as we in like case should be warranted in thinking of them ? as the presiding officer of this body i appeal to you whether in spetiking in this chamber of votes and majorities of a co-ordinate branch on the subject before u the member from ohio has not violated more than the mere rules of the se nate ? the theory of the constitution is that the two branches of the legislatureshall act in dependently of each other : andthe'rules which forbid a reference to what is done in the other branch has its foundation in that principle it is f r you to judge whether both the rule and principle have not been violated the gentle man is chairman of the committee on foreign relations but what confidence are we to repose in his lectures addressed to us on great nation al affairs while he is himself wanting in respect to the body to which he belongs .' in attempt ing to influence this senate by holding up toil the course of the house he fias violated tie or der of the senate and treated it with disrespect we are not to lie influenced in that way much less is that gentleman to hector over us and tell us that we are bound to this or thai course of ac tion because the house of representatives i is adopted it h«w would they submit to such an indignity ? i hope that no more such language will be permitted here it is offensive the gentleman tells us i hat the president will hide behind no bush what does he mean ! does he mean that the senate will do it ! if not was his remark of that innocent sort of rhetoric which has no meaning in it the gentleman is call ing upon os for unanimity : he is beseeching us here to be unanimous why sir was the like ever heard ' a gentleman in a small minority of this body calling upon us continually for una nimity he veiy modestly requires that a',1 the other members of this body shall at once aban don their own opinions ami go over to the very small minority to which he belongs sir could the gentleman's comprehensive ingenuity p int out no other mode ot arriving at unanimity — suppose the gentleman himself should park up with all his dignities of chairman of the com mittee on foreign relations and go over to the majority would that not be some approach to tnanimily no sir that will not do we are ill i suppose to consent lhat our views shall lie inbeeded and we are all to come over to him is the great standard bearer beneath whose tanner alone ail national unanimity all patriot c unanimity all unanimity becoming an amer can is to be found es sir there is to be 10 contraband there the flag is to cover ev ry thing anil to lie the witness of the national ly of all over whi(d it is spread and of the gen leman as one of those who are under it re dly sir i have supposed it to be a possible case hat a man may have as much patriotism and is much bravery in the ordinary scenes ofnu nan life as even the senator himself and yet lot rally under lhat standard the gentleman ■ eems to think he has unanswerable claim to in oke our unanimity because he tells us that tor nany a long year he himself on a great public neasnre stood " solitary and alone he was hen i imagine not quite so ardent in favor of inanimity but mark it sir such was the effect such the n flue nee of that magnanimous example that low the senate and all mankind tire come to ally round the gentleman from ohio true le says it took five years to accomplish this — sow sir will not the senator have inagnanimi y enough to allow us live years lo resign our irinciples and our convictions and adopt his ? r does he demand instant submission ! and s that his new doctrine of unanimity ! f had thought according to the arrangement imposed that we were to-day to do little else ban vote we all know that lhat senator both icre in this place and in his personal intercourse villi us has expressed the greatest possible de ire and solicitude that we would lix upon a day vhen we should arrive al a result in this mat er ; and yet now when that day is come when he gentleman's own appointed lime lias arriv d the course of the semite which he so earn stly invoked and which was to bring our del iberations to a close has only quickened him to enewed efforts in prolonging this contest ho low tells us that he will vote against all resolu ions ; as we have not adopted his amendment ic goes against the whole well sir be it so ; he gentleman's course may no doubt be a cause if great regret and he may consult his person i dignity by standing alone another five years hid waiting in solitary grandeur till the senate ind all congress shall flock and congregate a ioiit him achilles in his lent » yes sir vchilles in his tent ! laughter i would still ecoramend the lesson to which i have once re ,. j rrr — know thyself it is the widest lesson hat any man can learn the honorable gentleman finds out now for he first time that the preamble which the se late has adopted is entirely incoherent and ir elevant to the other portion of the resolution the senate it seems did not know this for they lave just adopted both and how does he make t out the president has asked us to author ze him to give the notice to great britain of he termination of the convention this reso ution does authorize him and what more t declares it to be desirable that he should give he notice and should abrogate the convention sow i a-k is there anything inconsistent in his ? as i understand the matter it is in exact compliance with the recommendation of the pre ddent but it is now h r t discovered by the senator from ohio thai here is no consistency n it and he goes against the whole mr president / have no pleasure in this sort of animadversion it gives me no satisfaction whatever : hut 1 cannot and will not it here and allow s'i-'i language and see such airs of supe riority nd supercilious arrogance without a re ply he have had quite enough of it and to spare and from the same quarter the gentle nan seek by vehemence of gesticulation and olume of sound to give effect to what fie is leased to say and really sir in some of his gestures the gentleman i not only offensive ut really alarming notwithstanding s"tn<5 reasonable measure of natural courage gentle lien not accustomed to arms and whose traili ng has only been in bodies of a political char icter might suffer some personal apprehension sir the gentleman may get up a panic here and here i no telling what may he the effect of a lanic 1 have beard of panics in armies pro hicing effects the most terrible ; i have heard fsiampedoes and many other things equally errible but here sir we have been told lhat be resolution we have adopted is a miserable paltry thing that the senate is paltering in a loubte sense • that ii is hiding behind the bush ; that it is skulking from responsibility and pre taming to differ from the house of representa tives and all thu i brandished over us with a magnificence nf style and manner that really sir i scarce know where the senate stands and what is to become of it mr allen said he thought the extraordi nary remarks made by the senator from ken luckv would justify a reply though to reply i them all would take a considerable time the senator desired to know continued mr a.)uu der what commission i speak ' he most real ly be an intelligent senator to be under the ne cessity of asking such a question i speak un der the commission of a state as respectable in every particular as any other state in tlie i n ion i speak under a commission of that char acter which i bear as a man a character as un sullied sir as that of the senator from kentucky or anv of those with whom he acts i speak sir under the commission which a sense ofdu ty imposes upon a senator as deeply interested
