He places the ground of his opposition upon the hypo' thesis, that wo are entitled to a moneyed propriallon, and might not to accept any thing short of, It. Yet. lio is Kl thoroughly any other man in Washington', that no circumstances would I'blk approve such What astonlshes'tne Is, that Judge Dreesc should bo in favor'of nn additional grant of 500,000 acres nf lain for the completion of the lllinnls.aud Michigan Caiial, largo'grnntsoflauil to aid in the construction, not only of tho Northern Cross Hall Road, but oMhe Central n.ill Koad, and yet oppose a simitar grant for'the continnatibn ann completion of the GUI' land All friends of this should be completed under tlje snperlnlcn- like unan rally annum tho harmonious Do dcnoo of the General Government, and with me Harmonious JJe money 'from Iho Tron.iury.-of'.lne'United Stales, could so desirable an end be But In the absence of all snch probability, anil, I mluht add, I it either the part of wisdom or prudence for us to refiiso to procure an appropriation of land, as very bal that can be realized for the completion of tho fond.

If ho persists tii' bis oppo.iilloni tho day will como when, politically, it will mill stono his Cass ln tho Senate yesterday, made tho airiest' speech upon tho'Oregbn question that has been made during the session.

lie boldly enrolled himself among those who planted themselves upon the line of 6-1, 40, and refused, under any circumstances, to consent to the surrender Of one inch south of that line. ITis'bearing towards, tho residue of the Senate was courteous and dignl. fied i(i the extreme; his language chasto, beautiful, and classic; his arguments so fortified with historic facts, as to be quite Ho reviewed with rent ability, the (reply of Utrecht; and clear- groi ly showed that neither in spirit or letter was tho Oovernmcnt the United Slates com- promitted in its claims to Oregon to the line- of tho 49th Gen. Cass also evinced a far more extended acquaintance with our Foreign I supposed ho possessed. The of his speech was directed to tho arguments of Mr.

Galhoun, and intended to cjc'pose and lay baromuch of the sophistry rejortbit'to by that distinguished statesman. Senato was densely od during the full three hours Geti. Cass occupied In making his speech, commanding throughout tho strictest attention from his crowded audience. As.soon as the speech is printed forward yon a copy. The House yesterday) by a large vote, tloir hour of adjournment from twelre o'clock, to eleven, A.

This is no inoM than tho public interests require, and will add in time one third to the period generally occupied by Congress in the disposition of the public business. Our Representatives generally voted in favor of the adoption of tho resolution. Gen. Houston, the remaining Senator from the Stuto of Texas, made his appearance nt the bar of the Senato on Monday of this week; was qualified, and took his seat. I HUM our now sister now fully represented in ono branch of Congress at all events.

Gen. Houston drew tho short term of service, which expires on the 4lh of March, 1817; and his colleague, Gen. Rusk, drew loner term, expiring on tho 4th nf March, J83I. But as the same Legislature (lintelect- ed Gen. Houston will hnvo the selection nf nocrncy.

Yesterday, through anceof Mr. Smith, Iho Representative from onr district, the House went into committee nf Iho whole on the stale of the Union, and took up for coiuliloratlqri the tiill.inlrodiiceil by him at on early stage of Ilia session, appropriating In -money $100,00.1 lo Ohio, $150,000 to 'Indiana, and to Illinois; for the continuation of the Cumberland Road through those States. As soon as the bill had been laken up, Judge Wick, of Indiana, offered the land appropriation bill (lo which I have heretofore referred) nia substitute, for. the of Mr. Smith, tall I In said ho diihthlsf as Kopreson- if a porlionof tho people of Indiana, who wore as virtually Interested in tho completion of the Cumberland Uoa.l as any oth ersct of people in either ofthe Stales throniil, which tho road pass.

That ho hod become thoroughly- convinced, a money to. propriallon never could ho got throuirh Iho Ilonscj and that unless they got the' loud, lie believed Ilic road never would be' finished. These, among inany other forcible reasons, were urged by Mr. -Wick, in sup. port of the land bill In preference to tf money hill.

Air. II. Smith nsKod and obtained leavb io nuko a personal explanation, and at the same time lo present remonslrauco from certain citizens of Bond county, against tho and appropriation. He recurred to the foci Hat, at an early day in iho session, ho had Introduced the bill under discussion, from firm conviction that upon every principle of luslico and good faith, tho general government were in honor and duty bound to progress with ami complete Ihis rond. Yet nt lio same he had but liltlo expectation AM project could succeed.

Mo wns driven this conclusion from the fact lhat, for the Ml eight years, Congress hail refused (o ippropriate a single dollar for the road, though had been applied lo at every session, and were well acquainted with the fact thai inconsequence oflholr refusal lo make such appropriations, the unfinished work upon Iho road is rapidly goin a decay. He should use every exertion iu his lower to secure the passage of the money ippropnalion, as ho was for that first. But it failed, he should unite heart and hand vith the gentleman from Indiana in cudcav- Jring to carry tho land bill. Mr. Smith ro.

narked that previously lo Im reporting Ihe land bill, a.s chairman of thn commillee on Roads and Canals, lo Iho House, he had addressed lellers lo each member from all of tho Slates Interested in the rond; and that a very largo majority of them had answered that they wero satisfied (he'land bill was the best thai could be procured for th'o completion of Ihe road. Ho made some additional remarks; but as ho intends to make a speech upon the bill, i. i in maim iv spL-eun upon me oiu, Ow successor, no doubt can exist but that.tho I will not follow him farther at llm lime choice will fall upon re-eleclioi ssrs.

In his sermons, do-'jonly In illiberality to'thoseihey madeasolnst I Jiverod on Sundays In (he Copilot, ho is 'h" equally successful, and always draws to- gcther a large, highly respectable and Attentive congregation.

So far as I can ascertain, he has given general satisfaction to Ilio Representatives as well as tho public, while ns a faithful herald of the cross, ho has fearlessly discharged his duly. In more, ho has preached several limes, arid always with much honor to himself. I iiri- ilersland he has been invited to deliver a course of lectures In that oily, which Invlta- lion he has accepted. His gonllemanlyinnd unassuming bearing, and courteous nnd kind 1 intercourse with all with whom he is brought i in contact, have added greatly to his paint- larily in this city. The debate in the Senate to-day, has been highly exciting nnd interesting.

Col. Hen- i Ion, taking advantage of tho absence of Gen. Ciss, made a violent attack upon him and i Imi speech, occupying nearly an hour and a naif In endeavoring to do away with the con- slruction put upon tho Treaty nl Utrecht by Mr- Cass. Mr. Hanuegau, however, manfully and fearlessly came to the rescue of Ihe latter, and obtained a most triumphant victory.

He alluded to Iho facl lhat Col. H-'ilton had taught him Ideas, us to onr "tie lo tho whole of Oregon, and ruiuarked, 'I that ho thanked God, he oould not now nn- tcaoh him, what ha had so well previously him. Ills allusion to Iho facl, that after Calhoun and Denlon had been at war with each other for nearly quarter of a century, Deulon had thrown himself uncoil- ditioaally into Iho arms of Calhoun, was very happy, and drew from Ihe galleries immense cheering. He said Mr. Calhonn, it was true, had encircled the Senator from Missouri in his arms) hut from tho looks of Mr.

Calhoun, he could notdistinguish whclh- leril was with a melee, maintaining that he had achioied a triumph over Ihe other loslcrday, Mr of made speech in Senate in favor of our claim up to and insisting that the surest means to secure Iho whole territory, and ti preserve the peace of the two nations, is give the notice nl tho earliest possible day for the fcnninallon.of the convention of 1827. Mr. McDnllic, of S. whose feeble nnd rapidly decaying constitiilion scarcely enables him to olve nttcrnucc to his addressing the Senate in vnr of a settlement and, compromise of the whole miller; and on Monday, Mr. Webster has given notice he shall occupy the nl- loulion of tho Senato about two hours in defense of the celebrated Asbnurlon Treaty, that has been frequently assailed durins the Oregon debate.

The Senate will, in all probability, Inlte llio voto on the qucslion of notice dnrln" (he falter part of next week; nnd do not think llicy will concur with the Mouse in their resolutions. Many of the speeches, bolli In the Senate and- (louse, have been characterized by a spirit which is every thing else put creditable (o Ihcir aulhors or Iho nation. To Imvo heard them, yon would have supposed they were representing the Goddess of Fear, rather than Ihe boldness and independence of nri honest constituency. They have, however, placed themselves upon record in this mailer; and they will find lhat it will rise up in judgment ngaiiut them upon occasions that it will prove impossible for them la escape from. They have taken ground against Iho claims and rights of their country, and assumed a responsibility in so oing that will eventually cover them with discomfiture.

Yours, truly, GEO. T. M. MR. BENTON AND Mil.

CASS, I ncso two prominent Senators of the Democratic parly are arrayed against each oilier upon a qucslion unsettled point hislory, which has perplexed the brnms of statesmen nnd diplomatists' for Ihe last half century. The question is, did the commissaiies 'of England and France, by virtue of the tenth article of tho 'trenty of Utrecht, sotlle tho boundary between the possessions of the Hudson's 'llay Company ami Louisiana by agreeing lipon a line running indefinitely west'from (lie southern termination of tlio Lake of the Wands, upon the 49lli parallel, or did they settle it upon any lino at all? Mr. Dcntnii allirms, Mr. Gnss denies. The former, being fully convinced (hat he is right, Is willing lake the 18th parallel ns Ihe norlherii boundary of onr Oregon.possessions.

Mr. Bcnton's speech, as is usual wilh his Senatorial efforts, is characterized by great erudition and historical research.
