""" -r-;? Government had ever dono nn act (lint could lu>. construod into an nssortion of her claim* to the soil, and ho replied with much aarnosthoss nrtd particularity, to tho arguments of thoso who had assumed tho opposite position,Mr. McD'uflie, in a very impressive manner, animndverted upon the effect that tho perusal ofluto Somite proceedings upon this subject would produce in Eng. land. > The government of that country would ju Igc of Anicricnn feeling by I ho speeches d dive red liore. He alHided lo (he statu of English feeling toward America, when, a few years ago, he visited that country. > There was a deepseated sentiment of joy that peaceful relations existed, and were likely to exist between the two nations ; and the feeling was so general, too, thnt nothing but bad government, on the part of Iho administration of one or both, could ever hroi.k up those relations. He said he believed so too. lie had no fear?ho had no misgivings of tho courage of his countrymen ?but he did believe thnt a little patience would settle this uud all other matters amicably. But what do we want of this territory ? What are we to do with it ? Is it any thing more than a mere scheme of coloni. jEstion? Docs any man soriousl v, and in his senses, believe that any settlement formed at the mouth of tho Coluinbin river can ever become a state of this Union ? He had no such belief in the sprend of this government. And hero lie considered the position and nature of the noil; its mountninousehnrnctcr, its separation from the already settled parts of tho country by immenso chains of mountains, &c.; ono commemoa upon Mr. WoodburyV oulngium upon "steam" nsnn nuxilinry in bringing about this great result. How is this agent to be brought to bear to thin end? By tunnelling the Bockv IVfoun tnina, as the Londoners have the Thames ? Are the representatives from Oregon to come hither, to thecnpitnl, by "stonm"? And istlic American Congress to sit hero, with an empty treasury, and devise such impracticable schemes as these? Will there never bo an end of such moonshine legislation ? And for whose benefit is this scheme ? rejected ? Who will avail himself of it ? '"or himself lie wished we did not own the territory. Ilo would not advise a mnnin whom he had any interest whatever to go thither?although were there any within the circle of his acquaintance fit for Botany Hay akvne, he would say " Go ?in Heaven's name, go!" And he then Krocecded to show how impossible was the ope that tho settlement of Oregon could ever produce 0110 cunt of benefit to the rovonue of tho United States. On the other hand he made a startling statement of tho necessary cost of making the pro. posed settlement. It could never bo in nny way valuable us an agricultural country. The fur trade is rapidly deteriorating. Let them alone, nd the English fur traders would soon be tt gone. The lapse of time itself would noon throw the territory undisputed into our lap. But he would not have it occupied by actual settlements. lie (hunked <?od that Fie had in (lis mercy placed the Rocky Mountains between us and that country. Were it not for them, we should have reached the Pacific, and he deprecated such an undue spread of colonization from the more civilized and populated parts of the land. We are not so pent up, ho unnbte to breathe, so starving for food, and so distressed for means of production, as to rendor such acquisition of new territory desirable. Embarrassed wo certainly are, hut not on either of these grounds. Production is over nhundan?, and every article of consumption is cheap and almost given nwav. As to tho value of the fur trade, he had seen no proofs of it, except perhaps Ino fortune made by John Jacob Astor ; and tie employed Indians and half.hreeds in the work ; no citizens of the U. Slates had been any tho better for it all. Mr. McDutHe could not think that this spirit of emigration was one to bo on. couraged; and on this point bo dwelt with much force and feeling. But had gentlemen considered tho ways and means for carrying into etTeet this magnificent project f The Senator from New Hampshire (Mr. Woodbury) had made n aort of allusion to the present state of the finances, hut he hnd still hoped they would be better, and that tho work would goon.

J. W. &, W. S. Jonks of Augusta, Ga. to be devoted exclusively to Agri. culture. It is neatly printed on good paper, of good size, in quarto fonn suitable for binding.? The talents and business habita of the editors ore sufficient guarantee that the work will be conducted with ability. It is to be issued once in two weeks, at the very low price of one dollar per annum. Experience has abundantly proved that in the present stulc of our population in this country, low priced periodicals arc the only kind devoted to agriculture which can receive sufficient patronage to sup|iort them. We heartily commend tlio one before us to the support of our readers. Persons wishing to see the specimen No. can do so by call, ing at the Drug Store under our office. The Southern Planter was the name first chosen by the publishers, and which the No. issued bears. Hut they intend to issuo a new edition with a dif. fercnt title, to avoid collision with two other Kiuuincrii M'lanicra, one in Kiclimond and one in Natchez. When they issue their now edition we request them to change the credit to the letter of Wen. Washington. It originally appeared in tlie Southern Planter of Richmond from which we copied it, inadvertently omitting the credit. We have since been repeatedly made to feel rather bad in seeing it copied iuto other periodicals and credited to us. I.vdioo was once a staple product of South Carolina, but it was abandoned about the time wltcn the cotton culture was commenced. The price of cotton is now so reduced that in the Peo Dee country it afTords a very inadequate remuneration for the labor which it requires; and the price will | certainly bo so much farther reduced, in comparison with the prico of other products, that its culj ture must at no distant day be given up in this region, as has already been the case in Virginia I and some parts of Tennessee. And what other articles can wo substitute ? Will Indigo do for ono ? Wo have been informed by a gentleman once en. I gaged in the cutluro of Indigo that the quantity made in the Pee Deo country to the hand was ' from to 330 lb. and the price at which it sold, from 50 to 75 cents. This quantity at theso prices would tie much better than cotton at the present price- Dut would Carolina Indigo now bring ; 50 cents 7 In looking over tho " Wholesale Prico | Current" of the New York papers of Jan. 28tli we | find the prices of Indigo put down as follows: Bengal 100 cents to 175; Manilla, 05 to 110; Curuccus, 100 to 117^; Guatimala, 00 to 110. All these countries lie fur south of ours and, of course, their climates are much warmer. Bengal I lies lictwcon the degrees of 21 and 27 north latitude; the Philipine Islands, of the chief of which ' Manilla is the cupital, between Oand 18; the town of Caraccas about 11, and the greater purt of the district still farther South, and Gualiinula about 1 12 to 18. Whether the different qualities of the Indigo procured from these different districts of ( country, nnd the superiority of all to Carolina Indigo, is to be ascribed to difference in climuto and soil, difference in management, or difference in the 1 varieties of tho plant cultivated, we do not know. . The Indigo weed flourishes and fully matures in j our climate; nor docs it require the whole sum. ! incr for that purpose. Yet warmer climates may irascibly cause a more perfect elaboration of the coloring matter ; and the great fertility of Uie soils on which tho imported Indigo grows may materially affect its qualify. The improvements in tlio art of cultivation which liavo been made in South Carolina sinco I the abandonment of the Indigo culture would doubtless enable the planters of the present generation to make a larger quantity to the hand than their fathers made ; and the present facilities of intercourse between nations would enable tlicm to procure the scods of all varieties of Indigo cultivated in any part of the world. Whether the improvements in Chemistry and the arts would enable them also to manufacture a better article from the same weed thun was formerly made in this state, cx|>eriencc only can determine. We should be thankful to those of our renders who were once engaged in the cultivation of Indi. go us a market crop, for any information which tlioy can furnish on the subject; and particularly as to the quantity of land required to the hand, the kind of land most suitable ; the production to the acre, compared with corn or cotton ; the effect upon the soil ; tho proportion of the year which the crop required ; tho disasters, if any, to which it was liable ; the quality compared with tho foreign urticlc, and the principal difficult ies attending the preparation of tho crop fur market. It will be rcmcml>ercd that on motion of Mr. W. C. Johnson, of Maryland, some time since, the House of R epresentatives adopted u resolution to appoint u select committee on a memorial presented by him to Congress from some of his eonstitucnls, and ]>erliaps others, praying that the Federal Government would issue $'200,000,000 of stock to be divided among the stales uccording i? f-.i?i ... ... ukm luucrui |H)| u.aiion, ikixi to in: rcitccmeil l>y j the proceeds of the public lands.

The Charleston papers contain a report of the proceedings of a public meeting with the above bonding, which indicates the object of the meet, ing. The report states that " Captain John Me Cralh, a veteran in tho cause of freedom, both as regards the country of his birth and his adoption, was, with acclamation, called to tho chair." The said Captain, of course verifies the truth hereof by his signature to the report. The following committee were appointed " to prepare an address to the people of Charleston on the subject for which the meeting was convened," viz: Major A. G. McGrath, Dr. Bellinger, II. L. Pinckncy, Esq. Col. Finlcy, John Clarken, Esq., R. W. Seymour, Esq., and C. B. Northop, Esq. The report of this committee (which was mado after a sli rt retirement) we have not read throughWe extract Uie following sentences as a sample of its temper and spirit and eloquence too : " To Ireland has the philanthropist often turned his gaze. To that land where nature's boundless goodness is rivalled only by man's boundless curses. To that land where industry lies crushed? genius neglected?patriotism strangled, yet struggling?religion proscribed?humanity violated and outraged. To that land where an cxhauHtlcss evil mocks a starving people?where the most spark, ling eloquence is forced to dwell on the sad theme of despotic tyranny?where the sweetest lyre is turned to the sad measure of national distress? where the most profound learning is driven from the pulpit aud the ultur, and forced to seek the security of that shelter which the uniuliabitablc places affords. To that land where a generous l?eoplc, are held in the absolute bondage of placemen aud government spies." The address, with sundry resolutions, were adopted after sundry speeches which are characterized by the report as being " in strains of clo. quence rarely, if ever, surpassed by any former effort." If these pugnacious, eloquent and chivalrous sons of Carolina cannot find men to quarrel and tight with at home, why not buckle on their knapsacks, and shoulder their rifles and make their way to Cork 7 Who can tell what effect their " strains of eloquence" inuy produce on Daniel O'Conncll 7 May ho not be stirred up to shoot bullets more effective than paper bullets 7 And may they not have some chance of securing for the gallant chief the crown of the Emerald isle ? Editorial. Part* Trick.?Mr. Pi.f.asants,one of the present editors of the Richmond Whig, lust November, offered a set of resolutions at a |>olilicnl meeting in Goochland, Va., the first of which was in the following words:? " Resolved, Thai while we prefer Mr. Clay to any other man, or ull other men, the Whigs can never be at a loss for worthy leaders of their host, while they number in their ranks, John M'Pherson Berrien, John Davis, N. P. Tulhnudgc, John J. Crittenden, John Bell and a hundred others." The resolution was rejected by the meeting because it was supposed that it might possibly be construed into a purpose or a willingness of uban. cloning Mr. Clay. Yet the Union published in New York, for the purpose of making upon the mindsof its readers the impression that Mr. Cluy was Irmafuvitriln Willi hiinarln IKnn hi. ..TO-...........?I i. ?..w. w.?? ..." ? * ? IIV nu?PU|'|n/<n/U IV bo, in copying the resolution from the published ! proceedings of tho meeting, changed the first lino, making it read thus: " Kceolvcd that toe do not \ prefer Mr. Clay" Ate., and then stated that the ! resolution in this form had been adopted. 'I'llis falsehood can do no great harm. Yet it indicates a very low state of moral foclidg in the country. Tho editor of tho Union would never have ven- i turcd to publish such a palpable and unpardonable falsehood had lie not previously learnt from observation, if not from experience, that it would not expose him, as it ought, to contempt and desertion by tho public. In the New York Legislature the election of printers to tin two houses was understood to turn ii|ioii tho Vuu Huron predilection of the candidates. Tho Calhoun candidates were defeated and those for Van Hurcn elected. The Governor is represented as being zealously opposed to all Calhoun men.

CONGRESS. | Tho Srnatk is still engaged in debate Uporl the Oregon bill, and nothing else of importance. Some debate has also taken place on a bill to pre -1 vent the employment of private expresses on the mail routs, and on a report in favor of appointing j agencies of the Government in Kentucky to pur- 1 chase water rotted hemp; but no question was taken on either measure. In the House the debate on the Exchequer was at last brought to a close by the previous question, on the 27th of Januray. Tho resolution reported by Mr. Fillmore "that the plan of Exchequer presented to Congress by tho Secretary of the Treasury at the last Session of Congress, entitled A Bill amendatory of the several Acts establishing the Treasury Department,' ought not to bo adopted," passed by a vote of l'J3 yeas to 18 nays. Tho proposition to return tho fine of JjjllOOO to Gen. Jackson, with interest, is still not disjioscd of. Tho most important business before the House is a bill making appropriation for the arm}*, and bills relating to tho survey of the lakes and to the territories. The President made two confidential communications to the House, on the 1st inst., which were referred to the Committee on Indian Affairs. Mr. Adams, on tho same day, reported from the Committee on Foreign Affairs, resolutions calling upon the President for information as to tho authority on winch Capt.

We extract the following from a letter to the Charleston Courier, dated at Ruleigh, N. Ci, and furnishing some account of the General Assembly of North Carolina. 1 have licard worse talks in Harrisburg and Albany, than the worst delivered here, this whiter. On the whole, some of these display a degroe of what may be culled real native eloquence. For instance, I heard in the Senate, the otlier day, from a man, plain, almost meanly dressed, a speech on the subject of maintaining the honor and credit of the State, where the State had endorsed the , bonds of a corporation which was unable to pay when due, which would have added an additional wreath to tho laurels of Patrick Henry. 1 have seen an illustrated edition of Scott's works, which has o representation of the old Land daman of tho Swiss mountains: look it up, and you will find an exact portrait of the democratic Senator from Surry. Another specimen of democracy can be found in this Senate, in the Hon. , who has held high offices, and is still anxious for them. He speaks on all occasions, and is not listenod to as attentively as his position would lead us to expect, lie is influenced by a perfect monomania in regard to corporations. So much so, that ho occasionally brings them in, in a perfectly ridiculous manner. An instance occurred, the other day, illustrative of this. It wns an application for an act of in. corporation for a militia company?the Hon. Gentleman saw dungcr?ho mounted hid hobby as a wur-chnrgcr?he sounded the alarm, and rushed forward to defend the constitution, endangered by military encroachments ; and for an hour he rantcd and roared as though " all the world, and Buncombe too," was to bo destroyed by tivintr these |K>or fellows the privilege of making bye-laws for their own regulation and government. The gen* tlcmun always brings to iny mind an old story, told ? some where of the management of a party at an English election. The only answer to all argument was to raiso the cry of " The Church is in danger 1!" So this gentleman in every case, on every question that comes up, | jumps up and declares the constitution in danger, repeating it in a perfectly parrot.like monotony. 1 will give another specimen of the North Card, lina democratic Senator, in the Hon.
