Ulaaljinglon WASHINGTON, Jan. 31, 18-10.

the date of my last, the excitement and interest has been kept up in both ends of (ho Capitol, arising from the debute in the fnT 0n ir -n" Vy bi appropriating five and a- half millions of dollars for the augmentation of the Navy, and the debates Fn the House on the Oregon resolutions. The limit, of a letter will not admit of my noticing the many excellent speeches that have been made on both sides, which, under other circumstances, I should be glad to do. I must confine myself principally to our tion of the country, as in our imme Ur re! 10 el le On Thursday of this week, Mr. Baker made a fine speech on his side of the question-that Is, in favor of glvln the notice. noce.

He insisted very strenuously, that our title sec- ediate ijuiiiiiiuiiiisu or arbitmtion upon Iho subjcclj and that ho would sustain Iho Administration In maintaining our claim lo Iho wholo as agnlnsl England or any olher for gn power, fight or no fighl. Thoso wero Iho main polnti in hi. a. you will ee by his speech both In th. Union and the Intelli encer.

1 ho Union, however, made ono great error as il mado him say lhat ho had sustained Mr. I'olk in Iho lasl election, and was fur his Ailinliilstrotlou. This false posilinn before Iho counlry, Mr. Baiter eor- rcdcd yeslerday morning in a very appro- prialennd chaslo speech. Ho slaled llml he had always been a Whi nm expected and hoped to die one; lliol he was for Mr.

Clay at tlie last election, and was for him al Iho nexl as ngainsl Iho world; and thai neither Mr. I'olk, nor his political principles, ever hail, or over aiuM, receive his support, whilo they remained whal Ihey are now: while he declared llml ho preferred dofeoi under Ihe great and conservative principles of Ihe Whig banner, to success under Iho heterogeneous mass of political heresies and ultraisms inscribed upon Iho banner of our opponents. Mr. Hoge, of Iho Galena District, In our Slato, followed Mr. Baker on yesterday; and, to the astonishment of every body, mado ono of Ihe ablest efforts in favor of notioo, immediate and unconditional, thai liave been made this session.

To my mlml, his stands prc-emiuenlly among all tho speeches mailo In favor of notice, whilo Mr. Pendlelon's stands un- emialed In his effort against notice. Upon the Virginia and Soulh Carolina delegations, who, now Ihey have secured Texas, have, craven-like, abandoned Ihelr parly on Ihe Oregon question, Mr. Hogo poured oulhis) ndignalion in unmeasured terms. He re- ninded Iho Locos from Soulh Carolina, lhat their devotion to the Union, and apprehi ooilnry a te orrora and devai- tallons of a civil warj that ho rejoiced that they were about returning to their at- tBchmcnt to their ahole country; and (hat he hoped they would bring with ft a lltlle more prudence limn they have heretofore exercised in their legislation.

Never was a cas- "gallon belter merlleil. or more well-timed in Ils applications "id how they will escape from the sting of his lash, I cannot conceive. 1 hero was another part of his argument (hat struck mo wilh great force, the more It coincided fully with uiy own views in tho matter. Many of those opposed to giving nave thclr IC Ihc British claims to the territory north of 4D, wilh more earnestness than even members of tho British Parliament thomselve. have done.

In addition to this, the prowess nnd glory of Ihe British arms, her greatness as nation, her lenacity of national honor, the magnitude of her llcets, and Ihe slrcnglh her armies, have all been magnified, in spiril and (0110 Ihat lo me looked disgraceful, when coming from American statesmen upon the (loom of an American Congress All this Mr. Hoge fearlessly rebuked) and correctly remarked, that, although such gen llcmen might nolhing but weakness ant Imbecillly in thoir own Government, whili in England Ihey beheld nothing but power and glory, nnd renown, ho should think thai ns American legislators, prudence, If not no liona! pride, would have curbed Ihcm In giv Ing utterance to such sentiments, Mucl more I could, and would add, did my limitei spaee Justify mo In so doing, What will bo Ihe result of all Ihis spook ing upon Ihe propositions before Ihe House I am not prepared al present lo venlure a posillve opinion. The Senale is Ihe grea slumbllng-block to the designs of tho ultn Oregon men, as every day adds diflieullio to their wishes. In the House, 'ns I hav before written you, they have strength nougn to pass any thing; while In Ihe Sen ale they cannot secure any thing more fa vorablo than tho proposition of Mr. Crittcn den.

And oven Mat, many, forbeller In formed (han myself, insisl cannol succeed unless amended as proposed by Mr. Man gum, by adding a proposition to arbitrate ii tho event of negotiation foiling. holvev er, believe that Mr. Criltendcn's resolutions will past, without the amendment of Mr Manguin. This great question, Involving vng as it does, the ponce, or war of the nation tun v.an.1, out ht meant fflntfundi paid by tho I tho completion oflhe work.

Smith, Esq. reported to Ihc HoffieTo.i yesterday, as chairman of Ihe commitleo on Roads and Canals, a bill, granling to tho State of Illinois onoh alternate section of land for five miles on each side of Iho A'or- Hum Cross Ituilroad," together with the right of way Ihrough the public lands, to aid in tho construclion of said Railroad Accompanying this bill wns on able and well written report, setting forth tho incalculable benefits thai would flow not only to Iho Stale of Illinois anil olbor western Stales, bul lo Iho General Government, from the constrnclion of this Road. It goci on to show that it would be the means adding millions to Ihe national Treasury, by enabling Ihe General Government tosel largo nnd boundless tracls of country, tha ire now valueless, and in mi unproductive slate of cultivation. Should this measuro pass, it will greatly facililate ourfuturo prosperity, and aid in Iho construction of a great thoroughfare, which must eventually terminate at the City of Alton. This shouh slimiilalo our citizens, as well as those ol Songamon and Morgan counties, to renewed exertions in procuring the construction of the Alton and Berlin Railroad.

Prom Inquiries I bavo made since I have been here, I am inoro satisfied lhan over this stock could bo secured in Ihe East by sending the right kind of a man lo Boston. Mr. McClernaml presented numerous pe- tilions from the Stales of Ohio and I'ennsyl- Tania, praying for change of our prosenl Laud system. They will; have an Important bearing In the success of Ihe bill graduating the prices of Iho public lands, which he introduced before Congress, in this measure also, Illinois as a Slate hasla deep nlercsl, and for reasons which I have heretofore expressed in my tellers, I fondly trusl I will pass. Lei Illinois once gel rid of her cmbarrassmenls, and have on honcsl set of public officers nt Ihe head of our Slato offl- and there is no telling, the rapidity wilh which we will increase bolh in popii.

lalion, prosperity and wealth. Mr. Wentworth, also introduced a bill on yesterday which was twice read and referred to the committee on Public Lands, authorizing the Slate of Illinois to tax all public lands here- aflcr from and after Iho dale of Ihelr sale. Ms too, will aid us very much as a Slate, by adding largely lo our revenue; and will pnl an end lo some extent lo speculators en- lering largo tracts of land, and letting them lay five yeaw without letting or improving them. To pay taxes on land valued al three dollars per acre, which they have first entered at one dollar and twenty-five cents per acre, will make them ralher more anxious to sell than they are under thu present system.

This reflection is true Jet, to, see the counlics of Kane and Me Henry, in which, three years ago, no ma owned a foot of land, now containing a pop ulalion of 23 and 21, respeclively, to evcrv section of land, is astounding. Not less Is (ho result, that the whole of Northern II or two counlics only councs ony for 1845i and deeply regret that tlioso re (urns nrc not suHicicntly extensive to bus sale calculations upon.
