WASH:eOTON, Auogust 9. The Senate have not yet voted upon the prjet, which they still have before them, for the purchase of the territorial and pos sessory rights of the Hudson's Bay and Pajet's Sound Company, on our Oregon borders. By this session, the United States will acqu:re the wholo teiritory which was in) di"pute between us and Great Britain. with that of the Columbia river. We will forever settle, by this means, all territori al questions with Great Britain. vod it is , well known that the Ashhurton treaty left to us an inheritance of difficulty in regard to that hour:dary. The Hudson -Bay Company and the British Government. which has always t supported and maintained that Company, make the proposition from no fear of the t future hostility of the United States. We, who aredescendeots of the English men know and feel that no such motive could influence either party, either in the offer or the acceptance. But it is appre hended that, in 1868. adifficuhy will arise as to the constructiou of the clause giving to the British Company the right of navi gating the Columbia, and certain other rights. The charter of the Company be ing perpetual instead of being limited to I 1868. t The proposition is before the Senate in secret session. Mr. Calhoun and Mr. i Webster and ot hers of the members of both i houses are known to be in faver of it. The resolution before the Senate advi- i ses and recotnit ends the purhase. It may t he too late, at this session to effect the oh)i ject. August 10,th 1848. I The Senate have been engaged during the whole day on the Oregon Bill from the House, and the various amendments there to. The Committee on Terttories had t moved an amendment to the bill which i recognizes the'M issouri Cornprottise. leap- I ing a provision itn the bill, extending the Ordinance of 1787 over the territory.- I There was some.doubt whether the amend. t ment of the Committee distinctly adopted the-Missouri Compromise as to the whole of the new territories; b': Dauglass maide the matte ingas an amendment, t:. Misst'i 'Compromise. It ded b- the.friends of the me 'd P tia u 'ition7_- --_ rejected. It was ruled out of ( session. It was thought that t, Compromise on the line of 36* ? plication to the whole of the ti would be, in fact, to securt the loaeof thea1 bill ; others, however, thought that the I House would concur in it. 'rom the tone of the debates this morn ing no one could have imagined the possi, bility that the M issouri Compromise Bill i would he agreed to. The Committee on Territories had not ventured to propose it, i except in a very indistinct way. Mr. Webster was the first to rise and op.+ pose all compromises by which slave re presentation should be increased. He did not pretend, he said, to speak- for the North, but every one who had known his course. would aHow hin the credit of consistency, for he had foreseen this danger, and had resisted the acquisition of a I new territo ry-Texas, California and New Mexico he had opposed the Mexican war and the Mexican peace and all extension of hivery. -Mr. Btler made a very eloquent har. angue on the sutbject, evidently considering that all chance for compromise was out of the question, and talled upon the South to stand to their arme. Mr. Hale declared that the North would never recede from their position against the extension of slavery. Mr. Niles threw thte responsibil ity of' the issue thus made upon tne South --which, lie said'. had demanded tthe ex tetnsion of shavery over the Continent. .\lr. Calhoutn's speech was made und'er the most solemn and glomy imnpressions as to the result. He was willing, on the part of the Stouth, to acquiesce in a Comt promise on the Missouri hiue, if tendered by the other party-the stronger sectiotn of the Union. But, after the failure of the Compromise based on the Constitution, he had tno hope or the adjustment of the ques tion by Congress. The mainer in which the evil had grown to its present magni tude, he exhihited in a vived mnantuer. It was a dise;ase which, if left to run its course, must termtinate fatally. It tntst be arrested, and the South mu<t take the matter into her own hands. If not arres ted, it tmust terminate in disstalution, or in the destruction of our mtatutions-one or both-atnd in both more probably than in one. Mr. Reverdy Johnson declared that if the North persisted in their premensior.s to exclude slavery from all the niew territories, the danys of the Uniotn were ntutbered. After these and many speeches of a ve ry decided character, the question was mooted whether it would yet be better to try the M issouri Cornprotmise as an amend ment to the bill, and, itn the wvords of ihe Compromise, so as to remove all doubt. The projec't was tried, and it was carried by a vote of 33 to 21-Mr. Ctalhoun voting for it, but staling that for reasons given by him heretof'ore, he would vote against the bill, but he will acquiesce in the Compro mise wthen made. The Bill, .as amended, was passed. August 10. Seldom has there been witnessed in the Sente a more exciting atd important dis cussion than that which has just termina-j ted. The s,,hject wna t he bill from the Rouse establishing a territorial govern neut for Oregon, and the question was on in amendment proposed by the Senate Committee on Territories, to insert after he prohibition of slavery in the hill the words "inasmuch as said tertirory lies iorth of 36e 30' north latitude." It was nost gratifying to witness the ability and he unanimity with which the rights and tonor of the South were maintained by Southern Senators, Whig and- Dem1ocrat. 3alhonn and Berrien. Butler attT\Th nson. >f Md., Mangum and King, and Johsison, f Ga., and Hunter and Mason, stood boulder tn shoulder in resistanco to the issanits of Webster, Davis. Hale. Niles, nd Walker; while Douglas, of Illinois, leserves all hottor and credit for his patri. tic and manly movement with a view to iarmonize the disgentions in Cougresstand estore peace to the Union. Mr. Webster (whose absence from the 5enate during the debate on the Compro nise Bill has been the subject of so much omment) took thi- opportunity of declar ng his unalterable determinati-n never to onsent to the addition of another inch of lave territory to the Union. or to any aa ession to the slave power in Congres. le was opposed to all cnncesions and ompromises. and would vote against the till if the proposed amendment was adop ed. Mr. Butler, of your State, made an el iquent and forcible reply to Mr. Webster, td expressed his determination to advise he people of his State to- defend their ights to an equal participation in the ter itories of the Union at all and every haz ird, and to resist any invasion of th-rn ev in to the death if necessary. lie called ipon Northern -men to settle this question intw on fair and equitable terms, as the tnly means of avoiding results most dis istrous to the Union. Mr. Hale. the Abolitionist, followed in nome sneering remarks upon the modera ion of South Carlina and in opposition to he amendment. The vote was about to he taken, when "r. Calhoun arose, an able and impres ive speech, during which he reviewed the rigin and progress of the Ahulizian-or tn tb.+ -.I. be- ..- . he South-citter to une-" 'n a" ton or to such mon".rt. t disruption of the Union. He professed i strong attachment for the Union, and aid that the South had done much and nf'crcd much for its perpetuation. hui here is a limit beyond which she could ot pass. It could not be expeeted that he Southern States would consent to re rain i, the Union except as the equals of heir Northern Confedrates. He referred to he ellorts of Abolitionista in, ither cotn ties, and their results in St. Damingo and ther British West ludia Islands. The )roducts of slave labor in the S.tithern States had enriched the North, gave em iloyment :o a large portion of Europe, itnd furnished the most important element if the commerce of the world. Its evils, f any were attendant upon the institution, ell only upon the South. and so long as the was content to bear them it wa: im ertinent and presumpttoug iu the North ,o interfere. He declated his opposition to the anend Hnent as ambiguous and delusive. He was for fair dlealinh, and wished the North o state explicitly and without reserve its urposes, so (btat the South might under tand them and act accordingly. The question was then taken on the smetdment of. M r. Douglas incorporating he Missouri Cotmpromise iitto the bill, and twas carried-ayes 32, noes21, as follows: Yeas--Messtea.

You will perceive that every friend of 3en. Taylor from the non-Slaveholding tates voted against this amendment ; while seven Democratic Senators from the Free States voted in its favor. The South. Whig and Democrat, was uttanimously in he affirmative, with the except ion of Mr. Jalhoun and Messrs. Yulee and 4' estcott, who, while they declined to vote for it; expressed their willingness to acquiesce in s adoption.

The following Detoc frttto the Free States voted againott. Breese, Bright, Dickinson, Douglas onnegan. and Sturgeon. Now ho =tid Whigs frotm the Free States voted tr?t them. Not one! HIere, then, are six ocrats from the Free States voting the Sout hern Senators against the inu to aild the WiIhot Proviso to the Ore bill.

Whigs-Baldwin, Clake, Corwin, Davis. of Mass., Dayton, Greene, Miller, Spru ance, Upham-9 There is not mntth to boast of it -this result on the side of the Detocrats, but ii shtd up the mouths of the Southern Whigs; whilst, taking the whole question in its aflirmative and nega tive extent, it is cleat that the vote does not prove, what is attempted to be estab lished, that there is no ditlerence hetween the two great parties at the North on the geestion of Slavery in their relations to wards the South. From the coinmm'encement of the aaita tion on the subject of Slavery itt Co- aress, with the repeal of the Twenty first Rule, and subsequently ou the question of the Annexation of Texas, the Democratic party in the Free ,tates have given us more support than the Wh'ig party, and this must necessarily lie the case, because the former regards more the rights of the States, and the limitations of the Consti tution. So now on the Wilmot Prwviso. The only friendei we have from the Free Sta-es-fewv though they may be-are of the Democratic party; atnd we have not a dotut>t that, were the South united, we might carry atty reasonable adjustment of the Territories which we might desire. But when we see the South itself divid ed, when Southern Whtigs- will not utnite with usitn sustaining the side of the South, what right have they to talk of the fatith. les-mess of Northern Detmocrats, atnd this too when they still hetld otn in aff'ectihonate fraternity to the Northtertn Whig party, which did not give a single matn in the late vote in the House of Represeutatives, supp)orting the rights of the South Ott thte Comnprom ise Bill? B-ut wve do no)t desigti to champion any party at the Netrth on this qttestin. Neither of them have fully at,d resolutely mainitained our rights, as guaranttied by .the Constitution. WVe of the South ought to be atbove all parties, hoth as tonour rights- atnd the enjoyment of them. When we echttuit tata itndepen dence and firmness which our interests and our honor demand, we shall prothubly find that we can' commtatnd the suppott of both the two great parties at the North. But if this- shall not he our coturse, mapat asuredly we must discredtt all fatcis and' all history to believe that the South has any- thing to expect itt the pro)tection of her slave institutioas by an-aliliatioin with the Whigrparty. it is e Qmon to overlook what is near in, 'g-the eye fixed on se' thino %:J the satme manner presen ities are neglected, and attatnm to4- is slighted by minds busie We ranges, and intent upon nitages.

The New Orleans Bulletin is sumtming up tbe losses in the Mexican war, hy,dleut ini the battle field and by disease. Thet former bear but a smrall propurtioh to the latter. TIhe soldier in Mexico had muel less danger to enicotitter frotm the bullets al the foe thatn from the inhospitable elimate. The whole ntumber of Americans killed. in. the war, includin:: the line of thte Ric Grande antd that of Vera Cruz. is etitma ed att 2000 and te wotumted at 4000 11 is impossible to say how manty of the Iat ter have died in consequence of thecii wouds, but we should supponse not lest tan one fourth. say 1000, making in all 000 deaths frota battle. The ravages of disense were terrible - A t Petroe there are 200 American gravis all vtctims of disease. At the City o1 Mexico the deaths were, for the greate. prt of the time, 1000 montbly. The first Mississippi Regimettt that went out to the Rio Gratnde. butried 135 on then banks of that river before it ever went in to battle, and. finally hrought back lest than oine third of their number. They suf fered dreadfully at Buetna Vista. The first anti secoad Pennsylvania Regi' mets recently returned. went Out 1800 strong, (900 each ;). they brought home abou t 600 of t heir original number. A boul 22Ofell iis battle, nearly 400 died, atnd 600 were discharged as unfit for duty. Hot manly of the latter have aince died is ol cout.e ,nknon. The third and fourth Tennessee Regi merts, also recenly teturned, lost 300 by death. Neither of these regiments have been in action. Capt. Naylor, of Pennsylvania. took down a company of one hundred and four men, he brought bak seventeen; he enter: ed the battle of Contreras with 33 men; he brought 19 out of it. The most frightful ind'ance of mortality, however, that we have heard of, was id that eallaut corps, the Geoi-gia Battalion; commanded by a gallant and accomplish ed ollicer, Colonel Seymour. They were considered ai:climated, and actually suffered much less whilst in the lower country, than when marched into the interior, on the high land. The battal ion went to Mexico 410 strong; about 220 actually died ; a large number were dis charged with broken down and ruined constitutions; and many of them, no doubt have since gone to their graves; and the battalion was reduced to thirty four med fit for duty!! On one parade, when a cer tain company was called; that had muster ed upwards of 100 men, a single private answered to the call, nod was its sole lit ing representative. The Captain, the three Lieut enants. the four Sergeants. and the four Corporals, (every commissioned and non commissioned officer) were dead We hatte heard from officers of maoy other regiments details very 9iritilar to those we have given ah,tve, which may be taken as about the fair average losaes of all the volunteer regiment?. The ieg' ulars did not suffer to the same extedt. Mr. Greeley; of the New York Trihdnp, in his paper of the 31st July, thus briefly retracts his fundamental objectioni to the noniunatiod of General Taylor: 1. He is a Military Chieftan, whose whole mature life has been, passed in the Army, necessarily diverted his mind to a great degree from civil affairs. We dislike the principles of choosiog our civil ruleri merely or mainly because of the distinc tion they have achiexed in military service. sent professions are worthy m.rn"' and secured by the t orce of. coosiderati.ns we heartily deteit. Its advocates either assumed ihat .the-kreat distinctive. measures fir which the Whig party had long and honora' etrugeled were obsolete, (that is sutrendered,)' or ihat they were not sulliciedt.ly popular to triumph on their own merits, but must be c;trried by the roll of the drum and the flt,h of Buena Vista guns. We deny these assertions and despise the counils they in spired.. 4. Geo. Taylor stood before the public in an eluivoce.l attitude with regatd to tb Whig party. He was supported by some as independent of party ; by others as a 'hiig but not an ultrd Whig;' an'd again by others as -a ul Whig and a,quarter orer.' lie was pledged to some to run for President, even in opposition to the Whig ninee;' by others be was tinderstood' and represented as committed to abide the decision of the Philadelphia Convention. It seems'difficult to see how a frank,- hn est, strai'htforward man should get invol ved in such labyrinths of misapprehension. 5. HIe was first proposed and' most warmly urged for the Presidetcy, itt go'd part bty mten in whose initegrity we had no coufluence and. whtose characters we could not esteem-who had belonged to several p :rties antd acquired no gaiod reputation witj ny--men whom wye htad been corn. pel~ to regurd as speculators' tn' politics ati mercenary hunters after sp,oils. 6. lIe wvas an especial favorite with those knowtt to us as Northtern Whigs withr Sioutherni printciples, advocatesof a 'vigo.. rous p)rosecuttn-t of the War,' ''no peace withnut indemnity,' 'our douhtry right or wrong.' &c. Thiis class dd'not likse the Tribune, nor we them. 7. Last and worst of all, he was the can didate of thte ultra Slaveholding interest, so far as atny portion of it adheres to the \Vhig-pary-of Gerorgia. Alabamna, Miss sissip,pi. Artkansns, Florida. and Texas of those who claimi for the South the night of phiutintg Slavery itn the new Territories. WVe do saty, however, that he was the only donde mong aill those proposed as Whig catn. di.tfrthte Presidency who had never Iuttered a word in ptublic reprehension of Slavery anid was not ktnown to us to be' hostile to its exteosioni. These are the reasons which induced us-, in opposition to our uniifiorm course hither to, to hesPate as to supporting the regular Whig nomainations, so far as the Preddtent w as concerned. To us they seemed strong enough t. require hesitation at least. Yer we said at the first, and have stood to it over ,,ince, that if compelled to choose he, tweetn the suijptort of Taylor anti the elec tion of C ass, we should support Taylor. We-have doubts as to Tavlor's fitness for the Presidency. Gen. C. lacks the good traits in GSen. Taylor's character which we have cheerfully recognoized' and acktnowl edged ; he is disqualified for t he Presidency alike by what he has dotte and what he has failed to do. Even on the Slayery question, where he has naturally the bet ter ,,nosinn by fifteen dngrees of litue.
