The go- vernment war more honored than him in the position whioh he holds Mr. Bxut replied. He had made not the slightest attack upon the commi-sioner; yet from the nature of the vartand complicated buxinees cpon hands, it ‘was impossible for him to avoid mistakes.

MR CALHOUN CONCURS, Mr Catsoux—! have heretofore opposed fixing a day of adjournment. and my only objection was that we t first to make some effurt for the settlement of thie great question. which bas presented such infinite diMovities for its adjustment.

Moreover, the institutions, customs aad msnovrs of a people, ought not to be too abruptly torn away. Napolcon tried it at Cairo, among a people ac- customed to bondage—his object was to liberate. but he was too abrupt and a revolt, such as the world has Dever eceD, was the consequence.

HANNEGAN INDIGNANT Mr Hayxecan denied that he had jumped up in any epirit of ntment against the House. He was ready to adjcurn, and to stant responsible before God aad hisoountry, Nothing could be done for the territo ries vow, for the same vile motives which had induced gentlemen to stoop to low party or factious sohemes, in wantonly prolonging the debate, would still uctuste them. If apytuiog could be done, it could be done in & few days as well as in a month. The House by an act Cf discourtesy unparalleled, without even reading the bill, have iaid our compromise upon the tuble by a majority of 15.

(Looking around for Col, Benton) I did not leave the Senate on Wedaesday ight. and come here in the morning refreshed by a night’s rest in my bed bome, while the Senate were laboring to effect this compromise, If I were ® Senator of Indiana, but having my permanent residence here in Wasbington (looking at Col Beton); or had I jast returned from # three month’s tour in the sunaay South (looking at Mr. Douglass), | would, perhaps, take another course. TheSentor from Missouri speak» of our readiness to fight all the world for Oregon. and then to desert her. Sir,he gave to England all she asked; and after dividing and disembowelling Oregon. he Speaks of government for her He says. too, “let us wait for something fromthe House” What guaraaty have we that any compromise will be given?

Mr. Brexsr—I acoept the motion. Mr Hassecan—You can’t do it. The ayes and noes have been ordered, and the call began. ‘The Vier Pussipent—By unanimous consent. Mr Hanxecan—I object, sir, So the question had to be taken on laying on the table—1T to 31. Lost. Mr Barese—I move the 14th of August. After some conversation between Messrs, King, Han- nevan. Breero and Dayton, Allen and Dix, Mr. Fo ore appealed that some further efforts in view of the dangers which threaten’ the Union, that some farther efforts yet be made for a compromise before rerolving upon an adjournment. Mr. Hart moved that the Senate adjourn. Not agreed to—20t 28. OUR ConstITUENT! HON. Mr. Nires—A ae af poco ir President.

THe CONCLUSION, Mr Jervenson presented the meocessity of doing something for the territor: Mr. Metcacre bad nc fearsofthe Union, Whatever might be done, the Kentuckians, the Buckeyes and the Hooshiers will bold it together. Mr Haxsxcan—Yes, sir, they will hold it together by eords of steel ? Mr. Foore (aside)—Hooks. Hannegan—hooks of steel—that’s Sha! are. Mr. Hannecan— Weill, hooks, then. They will hold it any bow—cords or hooks, (as understood.) Mr. Dovotass asked the Chairman on Fil state of the appropriation bills, Mr Atnenton precented them as requiring a good den! of laborious business—they would have the oivil list ready by to-morrow to report to the Seuate. The army bill hed not been by the House ; but he thought all the appropriation bills might be disposed of by the 14th of August. Mr. Arcuisox was perfeotly well satisfied that nothing could be or would be done for any of the territories this session. Mr. Tunsey concurred in this view, and spoke in depreciation of the »brupt proceedings with the new compromire in the House to-day After further discussion, the resolution was adopted to adjourn on the ldth of August ; aod the Senate ‘went into executive session, as We suppose, in the case of Gen.
