Whether there is any 4rutih in A iianal Mag

the highest degree. to see some of the most
respectable and most scientific men in. the
State, determined to ex nmine thorongkly into
the matter,-atI to test it by the touch stte of
philosophy and learning. While it is weak
and silly for us to yield implicit credence to
every idle and foolish rumor of ' wonderful
inventions, and wonderful discoveries,' noth
Sing can be more becoming ini us. as friends

made the more mariifest, by the messhge

I consider the speech made 'tsa ij

Mr, Sevier spoke on the Oreg-A tues
tion, and with great vigor and ability,
susi:Mnig 'the title of the United Sties to

Mr. Sevier said there was no necessity
for gentlemen here to disparage our title
to the w hole of Oregon. because, for the
sake of peace we were willing to dtvide

Mr Allen brought up for ihe considera

closing the debate on the Oregon uestion.
The Senators had had am pie opportunity
to consider the susbjeel, su'd he hopyd that
they would be willbng to Ii oil F Hdag

which different opinions were ekpressedb
All se'etmed to be ivillisig that tbe 4nestion
scouldl be taken, jirovidled it dtd not in
terf'ere with the rights of several Senators
to address the Setate. These Senators
are, as I learn, Mar. Mangomn. Mr. Web
ster. Mr. Greene, Mr. untin~ton, Mr.
Jarnagan, and Mr. Morehead.
The Whig Senators have held hack,
t'with the viety to close the debate on the
conciliatory side of the question, and then.
it is utnderstood that Mr. Allen will make
a fitnal reply. The matter here dropped.
but the geceral opinion isis the -Senate.
that the qutestion will be taken as 51on SW
