Correspondence of the Ohio State Journnl. WashinotoN, Dec. 15, 1H4.1. To sketch nn unfinished debate is to guess at wlmt inay assume quite another fnce before it is done. Hucli a debate has been to-day on foot in the Senate, called up hy a regular, pro-written war-speech of some length, delivered by Lien. Cuss, upon his Resolutions of lust week, fur inquiring into the ututeof our in iii La-ry preparation. The discourso was long, elaborate, memorized, and not a littlo inthmuint iry. It expressed a perfect con-currencein tht whole course of the Executive; a fixed persuasion that we hud done all we could do without a sacrifice of honor; and that all would be ineffectual, lie enlarged upon the groundless pretensions, and the grasping unci arrogant spirit nf Britain ; said it must be m 't: our irresistible destinies would not recede for her coming across our pith. 'Twhb belter to fight for the first inch than for acres or realms after-j wards: belter at the porch than within the house : better nt the door-s:ll thail the hearth-stone. I Mr. Maugum followed. He regretted nuc.li a move-' ment, at such a time. It would only produce alarm or ex iispi-ration, not earlier readiness on our part; for without any such instructions, the ordinary business of tin) cunii ttees w.mldleal th.u to thesauri inquiries and put the Benito quietly in possession of the same inform ilion. Tlie 'resident alone was in possession of ull the real state of our relations with Hug-land, and surely would have spoken, hud he thought thorn arrived at a point of danger. So fur from having done this, he had recommended measures (8 ih. treasury and the reduction of the Turin') which implied every BMUrance of pence. Jle himself hud confidence enough in the President's integrity and patriotism to believe he would do his duty to the ciuntry, if any conjuncture such as these Resolutions and the Hciiator's speech intimated, were at hand. If such came, the President would find, he thought, the same loyalty to the country, the same spirit to vindicate its rights or its dignity, on all sides. On such matters, there would be no political divisions. Hut he desired to see tli( Chief Magistrate recommend, before the Senate moved perhaps only to embarrass or defeat nn adjustment. They should wail for the President to speak to them; and he hoped that when any surh pain I'ul necessity arose, the Executive would communicate confidentially, and Congress deliberate with finned doors, us hclitled such went and as hud been done on other occasions. Mr. Allen came to the defence of (Jen. Cass, and let otf one of his usual tornadoes of runt, Not considering my ears made for the use of such people n Mr. Allen, I really did not treasure up any tiling that he said ; and unless you are so pjrliculurly anxious to be enlightened by his wisdom as to instruct me otherwise, I shall certainly consult my own taste uud common seme, as heretofore, by slopping my auricular appendage and taking to my heels, as soon as he be gins. 1 have been condemned to hear bun much ; never have heard any thing from hint but senseless fury and bombast; and have sworn a solemn vow never to listen to his tempests of stuff when 1 can avoid them. Mr. Archer followed, much to the same general effect as Mr. Mangim ; but taking occasion to intimate his profound scorn for those who were habitually profuse (Allen clearly meant) of profession of patriot, ism or boasts of courage. Was there any one there who could have tint insolence to doubt (Mr. Allen again) that any member of that body was lens pitri. ntic, less prompt to defend the country than himself r Jle was sure that tint Senator from Michigan, for whom lie hid the greatest respect, was incapable ot any such unworthy and odious idea. Mr. Cass here warmly disclaimed any such feeling, nf course ; and tins neecess irily h it Alleu more visibly the aim of this contemptuous vengeance for a sort of intimation which he olen employs and which he had nn this occasion a pp rone lied. The debate was interrupted, hy the arrival of a ines-aage from the other House, communicating the death of Dr. I'eyton, of Tennessee. After a brief but good riling v up. n him by Mr. Jarnngan, the Henute pushed the usual honorary Resolutions and adjourned. 'lunula if, I tec. I(i. Mr. Allen gave notice that he will to-morrow introduce a Joint Resolution ( lint, you know, is the f t.-in icred to Annexation and Re-annexation, ) advising the Preside ut to give notice to ureal Jlntam of our intention to terminate, a year hence, the joint occupancy of Oregon, stipulated by the existing Convention with her. Well : suppose they adr'ise him ; and suppose he pay no more attention to their adrtre than to their in-jit net tuns iu the Resolutions of Annexation.' The annual report of the list survey w is now brought in ; after which and some other miscellaneous Imsiuest, the discussion ot yesterday was resumed, Mr. Nile leading olf- Mr. Nile expressed his intentention to vote for the resolutions; but was sorry they had bent introduced at the time and in the manner in which they were. He was bound in candor to say that the resolutions hud oltogeiher too warlike and formidable an aspect, iu hi nniuioii. and might have an unfavorable intluence up on the country. He differed from tin gentleman from IS. C, (Mr. Minium) in thinking that this question was with the Executive : it was no lunger with htm, it was with the Senate. He gave his views generally; mid they were, to terminate the joint occupancy and prepare to defend ourselves. Rut he thought both of them wen- peace measure. Mr. Crittenden saw nothing objectionable in the resolutions, and should vote for them. At the remotest probability of wnr.it was proper to prepare ourselves. lint in the remarks with which these resolutions find been accompanied by the mover, he could nowise concur. If the Hon. Senator from Michigan was right, we were upm the verge of war : war, indeed, was in i rvilnble. Such was the language of the gentleman. (Mr. Cuss here roaefocxplutn ; and numerous que, tious and replies passed tietweeii Messrs. Crittenden and Cass; the Utter softening and modifying much ) Mr. Crittenden resuming, said he had read from the HM'ech whil mounted to a declaration of war at least so far as the gentle nun from Michigan was con-rented ; but he preferred his explanation of to-day to his speech of yesterday. Now, he understood him to ay, that if the notice was given, and if Great Brit-in persisted in her claim to the whole of Oregon, the we shall have war! Very well, " said Mr. C, a nil these prerequisites would not lie supplied, we should have mo tear, lie had never been able to re-nliiethat war would grow out of this controversy.! What are your diploinntista worth, if they cannot set-1 tie such questions War about a quantity of barren, froien land, tint has been in dispute for '.M or 40 years' It never could lc. We never should have war, unless we blundered into it. There i no question of honor involved in this controversy. If, after all, war must be, let us not rush upon it heedlessly, but move firm-paced and stow ; instead of giving litem one yenr no tice, such as one angry landlord may be suffered to give a tenant, let us extend the tune, and make thr notice tiro years, instead of one, and thus show our preference for peace. Such a course is certainly better than to put ourselves in a hostile atttitude ; and it Will retract nothing from our deter munition. In conclusion, Mr. C. congratulated the country upon the explanation which Mr. Cans had made, as materially diminishing the strength of his first speech. Mr. Webster did not propose tooiTcr any opposition to the passage of I lie resolutions. They could charge the committee with no new duties; but st.lt he re-ir ret ted their introduction, accompanied with the re- murks of the Senator from Michigan, because he feared they nvght rreate unnecessary alarm. He pointed out the effect of alarm about the peace of the conn-try on property and trade. Them were two ways to proceed : we may, if we choose, cause alarm anil make no preparation, or make preparation and cause nn alarm. He w a entirely of opinion with Mr. Crittenden: could not believe xvar would come. The President clearly did not expect it. He refrained (he said) from expressing an opinion whether negotiation was finillr ended, or not. I Mr. Sevier said we never could do anything with-1 out being told to beware how we disturbed the busi-1 nest of the country. Hi friend from Michigan had h.'en industriously catechised, to draw from hnu an opinion that we should have no war. lln own humble opinion was that we should have war. lie went on with some stuff about bullies and Cuurt yards, which 1 won't repeat. Mr. Hrrrien said the Senator from Mirltig.in might as well have accompanied his resolutions with a pre amble reciting the arrogance, lust id' territory, Ac, of (treat Hritam, as to have made the remarks he did. To goto war about this atrip of frozen land 1 God of mercies ! Those who lay themselves out to influence the passions f the people of the two countries may be successful and may achieve immortality of fame; but it will belli fame of Krostratus. Mr. Allen now said what his unfit position of Chairman nf committee ol foreign Relations made of some signincancy that what opportunity of negotiation remained unexhausted, he would not underUkn to ay : that was for Ureal Britain to look to. (This was indirectly admitting that lie knew that negotiation it rim exhausted.) He said "we wanted no so crct preparations ; it was the people we must prepare ; we must give them one ftrstrf . ' Mr. John M. Clayton reviewed the history of war-rxmtemvnta among us. Many gentlemen there had aeon a variety of them. Unite a much patriotic team, he said, had been blown off upon other occasions, without damige. It was so In I KM, as to thr French indemnity i. i ttfaii, as to the Maine bouuda- ry, and its repeated alarms and difficulties; so, again, in the final negotiation with Lord AtdihurUm. Several of these claims were insisted on, as quite as " indisputable" us this of Oregon. All this excitement was about the worthless navigation of a river not boatable. lie protested against nil attempts to 41 prepare the hearts of the people " that is, to lash them into war-fury by violent apceches on this floor. Mr. Allen. "Would the Senator have the Government go to war without the approval of the people ?' Mr. Clayton. " No; but I would have the people dictate excitements to the Government not the Gov ernment dictate them to the people." mt. Hoominugu sum ue suoiiiu certainly vow tor his colleague's resolutions. The inquiry was very necessary. In his own quarter, there was certainly nothing hut nakedueHs to oppose to high pre pa ration. He Haw no need of debating the matter. The vote was now taken under culls of Question ! question!" The ayes stood A'i ; noes none. Ju the other House, meantime, the Report mid Rill for the admission of Texas were forced through, under the Previous (Question. A day h'ol been taken, a week since ; and dinoussion seemed to be bespoken even by that course: but we lenrned this morning that the thing was to be driven through without a word ; and accordingly, by the happiest Helectioti for such an office, Mr. Met onnel of Alabama, the greatest ribald alive, made the reputable motion. Nothing further need be told of it. IL SKCRETAIUO. Wasiiisotow Dec. 17. It-"V Whenever I set out by talking of something that hoa not passed in Congress, be pleased to spare ine the annunciation rather discouraging to readers that the Ciipilol has been very dull to-day ; or, at any event, take it for granted that 1 have something more' import ant or more amusing to recite than n dull debute or no debate at all. Th in such a thing, it is difficult for any man, unless blest with nn irinpiraliuii of nonsense like that of the late John Jones or of his still more bubblin? successor father Ritchie, to be more absurd or trivial. 1 consider it, therefore, any thing but a proof of vanity when a respectable public writer takes it for granted that days ore often recurring here, when, write on what subject or in what style one may, it cannot well be that one should not be quite as agreeable or instructive as the Collective Wisdom" (so somebody calls Parliament) Ins been, fir the nonce. The Senate said nothing good to-di ; and the Hen-ate did nothing wise. Its iiroceedinirs, then, vou see. could only tc of moment to the extent in which mischievous, and therefore d'tsngreeable. In a word, they weui on io compline, in ine very Uiscreililalile manner in which they began, their orgnnixntion into commit- tees the majority taking care to do what not even the public immorality ot party has before attempted iu eith-er brunch of Congress : they have really so constituted the Senate for the working and instrurtirr part of legislation ai almost to exclude a party forming four-ninths in number (l out of ,71,) from any part in the chief matters of public busmen. They can only olfcr a vain debute, when measures of the preparation and details of which they perhaps know nothing, are brought into the body, matured by parly alone. To lake all the leading chairmanships and a majority of members was the very utmost that hail been seen before. Hut here they have, on (he important committees, put but a single' W h'-g, as if merely to say, " Gentlemen, we can't prevent your having ipirs upon us ; sit take one in each committee of coiisequ.-iice. A Whig must keep hiseyes pretty wide open to watch one Democrat: we are not much ntnitd, then, of hav ing one Wlngto watchwirof us. How can he always attend? Reduced to such mere insignificance and conscious of a tori of odious position, he Will be apt xojr've up nuo cease io wnicli us. Heretofore, a member of the minority lino usually been placed second on each committer mid ho took il temporary bead, in ease the Chairman did not nttend. Rut they have now dented nil such benefit of accident, by placing the h'ghest Whig third on the main commiltees. On three those of Pensions, rngronncd Rills, and the Library fhey have suffered a Whig Chairman. I need not say that these are commiltees of work and not of politics. Look over the rest nnd you ivill see that if on any there are tin) Whigs allowed, that committee is one of small account. In other instances, they hive thrust down into the lowest committer ihit could ho found some of the very ablest of the Wlrgs, John M. Clnvton, for instance, may be regarded as the Innler of the Whig Senate, if Crittenden is not; nnd hi in they haveetiit into the poor committee of Claims the most dully laborious in the S. nate ! Tin-re, loo, they have hidden Rcverily Johnson, another of the strong men of the opposition. I lament such lhin?i : not as a party man for I de-clnrc to you that I look upon both parties as hiving arrived at a pasa when neither can he trusted ' and either th.it it in pmrrr see ma to me tint which is to lw feared. 1 deplore such things, then, as tokens of the general political demoral. ration ; as signs of unscrupulous legislation ; ns proofs tint the (tropic itself is Hit lost in all the blindness nf mere faction, that it it insensible to any mischief or wrong; and Ins ceased to look upon acts, good or bad, in any light hut as Hiving power to friend, or doing injury to adversaries.There is a hi eh truth which has been seen abroad, in countries upon whose method of government we look down as from the summit of nn utnvatehed, uu-npprourhed wisdom. In the Kuiflish and French monarchies, wise ministers have route to perceive at lust thai an inquisition is, in nil States of liepreseitta-tive Institution, not merely a neeessits, but a good ; and this, not only to the people, but the Administration of the time being. To guide ils own action, to make its own measures discreet, a sagncious ministry sees, in Kuropean countries, that it tmitt have an ae. five, keen, and strong op(nmihon. That alone will hold its lenders and its friends together: that alone. will prevent it from running to excesses or falling into a negligence that will seedily prove fatal to iU liermaiifiil ascendancy: that alone will elinble it, iu a worn, to retain, liy deserving, its ascendancy ; or no people that are not mere slaves, will be fools enough long to endure, unchecked, one-sided power. A prudent ministry desires, therefore, to lie opposed, nnd wants opmitioit u have free ami full scope, W ithout it, it cannot keep itself straight, cannot perfect its measures, cannot watch its agents, cannot kivp down abuses, cannot even make itself understood by the citiietis. A sound opposition then, is the lust thing that an Administration of any sense would attempt to crush or to silence ; and the best way to brat a factitious and bnd opposition, is to let it exhibit itself. Good or b.id, loyal or disloyal, wise or silly, weak or strong, it mnrthr (he aid and agent of any Administration which it cannot subvert. To quarrel with it ia like a barrel s wishing to be relieved of the constraint of its hoops. To govern a free State Without it is like expecting to twist a roie without having the other end hehl. And he who, twining there the contrary way, seems to Im opposing you, is only, in reality, helping you to tiuhten the cord. An opKisilion, then, Hhould always be faitly dealt with : to treat it otherwise ta only, iu the stupidity of niomeuinry strength, to give it advantage against you. Wise rulers Will not disarm, honest rulers will not destroy it. Without it, government, no matter what its forms or names, becomes an absolute despotism. They who attempt to put down nptosition, are aiming at absolute jiower, whether they know it or not, and will attain it, if they ucceed. Hut how long they will keep it afterwards will depend on the intelligence and spirit of the pen pie. No power however, can well be safe, that practices no moderation. This, you see, is not parly lesson. The committee finished, the Heinle prorcrdc:) to the choice of its Printers, and elected those of the Court, the President s people, Ritchie A' Hems. You have not forgotten, 1 lente, the Jncksouian outcry when the Adam Administration gave poiutineiits to '. or 4 editors: note, Young Hickory import his rdi tors, buy them a large establishment, and reward them for parasitism, to come, with the richcstcinploy-me u I at the disposal of the government!

Tho amendment was discussed by Messrs. Haotings, Wood, Eckley, and Perkins; wheu ayes M, noe iiti. The bill wo then passed aye 30, noes 4. A messnge from tho House informed the Senate that that branch had passed a joint resolution, instructing our Senator and requesting our Representative in Congress to oppose any change in the present rate of postuge in which tho concurrence of the Senate is requested. Mr. GoitpAiiti moved to lay the resolution on the table ; which motion was discussed by Messrs. Goddard, Powell, Anderson, Chancy, and others, and was disngreed to, aye 14, noe Sit). Mr jTjfK t.r.v moved that ttie resolution be commuted to the committee on Federal Relation; on which a spirited and irregular debate arose, in which Messrs. Kckley CImney, Anderson, Coombs, and Utter,participated. Mr. Goom ns said he supposed that the question of the right of the Legislature to instruct their Senator and the obligation of the Senate to obey, wa no longer a debatable question in Ohio. The party to which he neiougeu nnu always considered it a tiumimg; and within the past year, the opposite party hud turned a complete summerset, and now occupied the name ground, no longer ago than at the last session of the General Assembly, the committee on Federal Relations, in the House of Representatives of thi Stole, had thi question under consideration, and the minor, ity of that committee made a report, Retting forth what was then the true democratic doctrine in regard to this question. Mr. Coom us here read the Report or Mr. Reeme- lin from the minority of the committee on Federal Relations in the last House of Representatives, on a resolution in relation to the naturalization laws, in which it i strenuously argued, that the Legislature has a clear right to instruct their Senators in Congress, and that Senators are bound to implicitly obey audi instruction ; in which it is asnerted, that "the Legislature i the organ through whose instrumentality these Senator arc elected, and to the ame organ must certainly be entrusted the power to control the action of the agent thus created ;" and which rcitort close witli the following significant paragraph : Let the majority of this Legislature perform its duties to the people of Ohio, by instructing our Sena tors so tar as they Know the will of ttie people ; let them assume the responsibility, and the minority of your committee may, from the known dcmocractic principles ot our senators, ffunrantij implicit obedience. Here, and Mr. j. we had, no longer than one year ngo, a solemn pledge and guaranty, in a report to the t louse ot llcpresentaiiveH, that H we would aasume the responsibility of instructing our Senator, our in. struction should he implicitly obeyed. Well, said Mr. C. we did assume the responsibility, nt the last session, and instructed our Senators. What was the result? Not only were our instructions disregarded, but treated with the utmost contempt hy one of our Bottaiors. mat nenator i still sustained, and lauded by hi party, for thi very act. The doctrine of the right to instruct, and the obligation to obey, cannot, certainly, be longer claimed to be the democratic ditc trine in Ohio. It ha liccn repudiated hy the party, ami pronounced a nuimmg. i ney stand now upon the same platform, iu regard to this question, that the Whig party have alwny occupied. Mr. Wki.ch moved that the resolution be indefinitely postponed. Mr. Wr.i.cn said, that he wa opposed to taking up the time of the Senate in discussing this, and like resolutions. He wa for confining our action to the bu-finest of the Stittr. Both parties came here professing themselves in favor of a short husinest session. The minority Imd nlrendy tried to force upon us a resolution to adjourn in tirtu days- Thi we refused to pas, not becnuse we did not expect and believe we could, and trouhl, get through with the bttsines in sixty day, but because we preferred showing the people by our actions rather than by our professions, that We were in favor of a short session. But who can see the rud of the session, if our friends on our left, who are so anxious to make us commit ourselves thus early in favor nf a short session, are in take up all our time with resolutions on Terns and ttregon, or we with resolutions on the Tariff, the Pott Office, Ac f He thought we had belter attend to our oirn hutinttt, and let Congress attend to theirs. He was therefore opposed to the introduction of any such resolutions into the Senate, and in favor of postponing indefinitely all such a may tie lent u irom tne House. The question t'tok a wide range, embracing the pro peel nnd probable conseqenee of a war with England Mr. Anderson regarding that event as almost inevitable; and Mr. Kelley regarding it as chimerical in the extreme. Thr question was then taken on the indefinite postponement ol tho resolution, and lost, ayes Hi, nor 111. I he resolution was then referred to the committee on federal Relation. Mr. Woon, (on leave) from the committee to whom wa referred the bill to lay out and establish a free turnpike road from Woodvillo to Toledo, reported the same buck, when the same wa ordered to lie engrossed. Mr. Nr.wv n offered for adoption Uie following re, olulion, which wui agreed to, viz : llrsolrrd, That the committee oti Public Works and Public Lands, bo rrq nested to examino and inquire how much money na hern expended by the Vennil lion and Ashland Riilroad Company ; the manner in which it has liccn expended ; the progress of the work and its present condition ; and, also, how much stock the Hlate ha in said Itailroad how much has been paid, and the probable loss to the Slate. A message was received from the House of Representatives, informing the Senate that the House has indefinitely postponed the joint resolution of the Senate, for purchasing certain facsimile medal for the Library; and tint the Houjt ha agreed t the Joint resolution tor going into certain election thi after noon. On motion of Mr. E ai.nr, the Senate took a re-s until afternoon. odk, P. M.
