"jTne House of Represenlativ was tin
cene, lo day. of another interesting and
important-lebte on the Oiegon que,
linn, arising onl of the resolutions ol
Mr. HarraUoiv of Georgii, which elic
ed the speech of Mr. Adams, referred
to in his letter of last evening.
The mntt material points in Mr. Ad
-ams' remaiks on Oregon, in ihe Houst
on, Friday were first to give notice l
'England -necessary to terminate tin
.convention between the two countries,
tind after tint would come mesures fo
.he pro ection of our citizens in that le-r
prilorv. II. did not believe a all that
I be giving notice necessarily involved
any danger of plunging the country intc
war. The question had been raised ii
England whether that country ehculd no'
give the notice "for terminating the trea
ty. That treaty was notone ofjoint oc
cupation, and he was surprised to hear
thin exoiession used when epeaking oi
a convention which acknowledges no
occupation of lerritory by either praty
i commercial convention a conven
tion af free natation and of free inter
course with the Indians, but which per
mi'i no permanent occupancy of an)
portion of the territory, by either pir
ty, until this twelve months' notice it
eiven And he was very desirous tr.a
i this nonce ihould be given immediately
, and would votu for it if it wrra Lrough
r forward to-day. (Mr. Went worth
here proposed that the rules be now
impended for this purpose,but Iho Spea
ker decided that his inelion was not in
order.) He was for giving notice at
once and taking possession. Wo might
negotiate .afterwarJs. This was Ihe
military way ot doing business lie
had no apprehension of war, but if wai
come . hoped the whole country
would eo . into il with one heart and
one mighty hand: end if the breath of
t Jife were then in lum, he would go as
far m any to.make the war successful.
. But-unlLJ ahe .notice v. as given he wa
notpieparetl to go for any other nieas
.ure. Without waiting for tha effect oi
l his notice, however- we might extend
,tJ our country men in Oregon the pro--Uclb'i
necessary .but he saw no ncceoi,3
, now for.anci easing the army and navy.

Mr. Harralxon said that when h

cussion wich had ensued. II". admitted
thai it ws out of place hce, nl should

that ihe hill was a peace eslablisnmam

poscd lhati inland wn lo have but two
regiments of lliflimen lo con'end with.
They will be necesiary, whether noiic

pied or no, Sic, &c.
Mr. Darrsgh, of Pennsylvania, had
given ihe subject considerable attention
and was satisfied that our title lo the
whole of Oregon was unquestionable,
and should be maintained even al the
expense of war. The government had
bsen sluggish, culpably siugg'mh, in
providing lor the men, women and chil
Iren, alluded to by his colleague, Mc.
Ingerso'.l while E'glanJ had been ac
lively engnd in prepariugfor the de
fence of twenty-two stations in that ter
rilory, in establishing military poslgjand
extending her jurisdiction, 7here was
dually now no protection in ihe terri
ory for American citizens. The only
ougislrates now there are those of ih
Hudson Day Company, and American
citizens are subjected ti thtir jurisdic
tion. The only officers lo cairy into f
fed ihe laws and those under the con
trol of the Company. The nrcessai)
notice, in hi opinion, might be Riven
by an set of legislation here, withou'
any formal communication from Ihe
government.
Simple Cure for Shimmering
Mr. Wakefield, at an inquest he held
lately in England, Ihe summoning offi
cer told him that it would be useless in
call o le witness, because he stuttered s
excessively that he could haidly articu
late Ihe shortest sentence in half an hour
Mr. Wakley, however, had him called,
and telling- him tin! as shot could r.o
be dischaig"d from a gun without pow
der or air, so words could not com'
from the mouth unless tre lungs had
iheir ponder, viz: air. H? lold the !a'
to inhale air, or draw in hit breath
strongly, and the lad having done so.
Mr. Wakeley asked him,
' Can you talk now V
The boy, lo the surprise of ihe jury
answered immediately and gl bly
Yes, I can, sir, very well.'
The Coroner added, that inhalation
or self-infMion of the lungs with air,wa
t sure remedy for stammrring, and iho'
it had been discovered long ago, ihe fac
ulty had not, until lately, and then only
few of them caused it lo be practised
as a remedy for defective articulation.
