toolti part in tho discussion, wero Messrs.
Niles, Criticrden, Webster, IJerricn, Sevier,
Clayton, vl D-Lware, Allen, Drees?, and
WonJbriJg. ,
Tho temper of the tlcbate was admirable
dispViung no partissnship and but u littlo ol
the war spiiit, though, on all hides, a feeling
was n.unifeslcd ofenure devotion to the --.usf
of country, if, unfortcuaiely, wc should
bcJnvulifcJ in a ivar. :
All Agreed upon'one point, tint, tithout re:
ferencc to the danger of .a war, we should
proceed to arm tho country. All agreed that
Icctt'd our policv, it "vas so specific, that we
could never bo .prepared for a lyaf unlil lac;
danger cuino upon us fur standing armies
and real navies were inconsistent with our
institutions, at the same tim-j it was conceded
that our' resources for defence and- for ulti
mate triumpli wero sbuadant. . . - :
It was ogrecd that ths quiescent policy of
Mr. Calhoun was proper, at the timo when it
was proposed, but the day had come when
the question "must bo settled. There could
not bo two jurisdictions in th3 samo territory,
coliLioQs must arise, and, fur tho preserva.
lion of oace, tho . rights of the parties must
be' defined. . . '
1 - Sj far, both biJes agree. On the whig
side of the Senate, tho following suggestions
were made, viz Mr. Crittenden thought that
wo should not givo the notice to take effect
two years henco. Mr. Webster did not believe
that the President "expected a war- as the
result, and the Senate ouht, in his opinion,
to n wail his suggestions; but he considered
it was better to make preparation quietly,
efficiently, and successfully, without alarm,
than to make an unnecessary alarm , without
preparation. He dreaded the 1 -fieri -of this
movement , connected as it was w ills the debate
on the business interests of the country.
Mr. - Berrien took another view of the
matter. Tho negotiation; on its faco, shewed
that it was not coded, and he believed that it
would bc re-opencd and brought to a -successful
conclusion. . He did not believe that war, upon
this subject could bo waged between two such
nations as ths, United States and Great Brit,
ain.-: ' ' , " " . I -
Mr. Ndcs expressed tho opinion t that the
question would bo settled upon thy basis of
the 4Uih parallel. Though wo could not offer
it, Great Britain would. . . '
On the other hand, Mr. Sevier gave it as
his opinion, that war was ineviiable. To use
his own words M it mut come.' IIo re
jec ted arbitration, for the reason lhatAli the
moaarehs of Europe wcie combined against
u?- - i '
- Mr. Allen said that the U. States must iu.
sist upon the boundary of 54 4'J. If the gov.
ernment .should "concede the territory the
people would force the government into a war
for it.' . ' , ' ' - .
Hal the mosl interesting point in the discus.
sLaivusthc answers ot Gen. Oiss to the
questions of Mr. Crittenden. Gen. Casssaid
that it was his own private opinion that war
was almost inevitable. He went upon the
ground,' as appeared, iluit neither parly
would recede thai Great Britain certainly
would not, as all her past history as to tcrri
torial acquisition had proved. If, therefore,
we giro the noticetund Great Britain . should
insist upon the occupancy cf ihe territory, as
bhc would do', war would la tho incvitablo
conseq'ir-nce." ' ' ''. ' - .
