I pray God that thi contest may never
coma, but if it thould come, I repeat we
will all bo found as on man. Never can
we consent to sutler dishonor, or to lurrender
ur rigbta. If it come, can any man estimate
the amount of evil resulting te the eivilizcd (

that the senator seems to apprehend t Pos
sessed of the power described, Great Britain
has the ability to strike a blow, which will
be felt throughout our whole Atlantic and
Gulf coast, sweeping our whole seaboard, as
with sirrocco of fire. Supposo sho did;
and suppose that the morc'tloss savago were
brought to bear upon our frontier, inflicting
ou man, woman, and child their terrible spo
cies f invasion j the enemy might havo tlieso
advantages. But this Subject, iu my opinion
and it is one to which I havo given great
consideration excites tho national fooling
towards that point, at which war should never
cease till one or tho other party was cxtor
winatod., And aftor all, who can fonr the
issue of such a couflictt With all her mighty
resources, we could eventually sweep her
forever from the continent. I do not want
ber possessions; I would not havo them as a
gift: but in case of such a war, evory vestige
of British territorial possession on tho soil of
this continent would bo forover ellacou.
: .Again, in reference, to California: doos
, the honorable gentleman speak with a viow
of smoothing tho feelings of Groat Britain?
and inspiring the administration of our own
government with the hope of bringing this
negotiation to a successful issue? When he
reaches forth one hand with Oregon, and iu
the other holds California, doos he mean to
produce such an improssiout , We all feel
that the aggrandisement of this couutry has
excited, on tho other side of the water, pro
found jealousy and mistrust. We all know
this. There aro too many evidences of it as
a fact to doubt it. If our propose bo to get
California, I think it would bo quite as judi
cious if tho Executive were to mature that
project without giving it forth fur speculation
and controversy, by an announcomont hero
with the affected design, of stimulating tho
Executivo, but really setting all tiie powors
of Europe to work in anticipation of our pur-
r, with the view or counteracting it. sir,

by the diplomatic interference of foroign
powers iu reference to tho annexation of
Texas, as any man in this couutry. To be
sure, they had strictly tho right. I go further

... Mr. Allen. Mr. President, I hopo the
resolutions will pass pass without tho ob
struction of a solitary voto. They aro reso
lutions which address gaave subjects of in
quiry to the attention of thoso committees
which, by the standing rules of the body, tho
Senate institute with ariew of taking cogni
zance of these subjects. Now that these re-
. solutions are introduced now that they
have been brought forward for the action of
tho Bcuato and the nation by being upon the
iournal of the hod v. thoir reinrtinn hv llio
Sonato would do more to paralize the ener
gies of this country, than any ono act that is
within the power of the Senate, to perform.
These resolutions aro predicated upon the
idea that the state of our homo defences in
tho present aspect of our foreign affairs is
such as to require that tho attention of Con
gress should be turned to tho national de
fences. ,Tho rejection of tho resolutions
will not change thoso foreign-relations; but
will bo virtually a dcclaraction upon tho part
of the Sonato, that they will not even prepare
for any emergency that may arise out of our
foreign relations. Then, jet mo ask, what,
would bo the position of tho United States?
Great Britain is a power whose policy as well
as whoso general history is known throughout
the entire civilized would, and needs not to
bo defined. Groat Britain Is a power, who
conducts her negotiations with a (loot upon
the coast of tho power with whom sho nogo-
' tialcs; ever ready to settlo questions which
cannot he settled by wores, by resorting in
practice to the ancient Gallic maxim of cast
ing a sabro into the; scalo. 1 he United
States as has been very wisely observed by
tho able and greatly experienced sonato r
from Michigan, is, by tho very circumstances
arising out of our. institutions, always unpre
pared for tho terriblo emorgoncy ot war. We
havo no standing army, in tho European sense
of that term. Wo havo, however, a standing
militia a nation with a military organiza
tion. . : .'. '. '- ;. V
The wise object of theso resolutions is to
instituto art inquiry into tho existing organi
zation of the martial forco of tho country in its
thrco great divisions of the militia, the
army, and the navy. This has beon regard
ed on tho other tide as almost equivalent to
declaration of war,
Is it moant to bo insinuacd that wc arc
afraid to praparo for our own defenco, bc-
causo wo happen to be engaged in contro
versy with a power who boasts of stretching
its cicantic arms ovsr tho whole habitable
. globe? Aro we not to be permitted even to
ask ourselves if we aro roady to receive a
column of British bayonets in this contro-
vorsy? Aro wo ready to receive fifty sail of
batilo ships forwarded by Lngland to our
porisr tto' cannot as tncsp questions, u
seems! Why? Because it is a movement
actually looking to the possibility ot a con
flict between tho two nations. ;
ft- Sif, tho resolution comes well from the
distinguished senator from Michigan. It
comes well, because ho has the double ex
perience of war and of peace, individually.
... Because his age and character were calcula
ted to give to his movement importance
"which recommend these resolutions to tho
serious attention of the committee tn whom
they were to be addroased.r Is it then pos
sible, I would ask, that wo have arrived at
' that humiliating condition that the Amen
can Congress is afraid- afraid to institute an
inquiry into the efficiency of the martial tor
es s of the United States, for tho protection
pf the country? I hepe not. The senator
from North Carolina has treated this question J
as though it were equivalent to a declaration
of war. Ho says ho is disposed to trust all
this subject 1o tho President. What subject
doos he mcau? Tho negotiation? Wo boo
by the President's message, that ho has gone
about as far as ho can go. Tho senator
muBt then moan that the subject matter of
theso resolutions is to bo trusted to the dis-
tretion of the President of tho United
States.
And now I will concludo with tho oxprcs
sion of my sincere gratification at hearing
ono, and the most prominent, perhaps, of all
tho observations that dropped from tho dis
tinguished souatnr from North Carolina. 1 To
told us that should war ever come, there was
a spirit in tho country nblo to make it power
ful enough to cope, not only with Great
Britain, but with tho whole European world
in arms. He told us that should any de
claration of war be passed by Congress, from
that moment an anti-war man would not bo
found on tho continent.
Mr. Makoum. I only spoke for myself
and my constituents.
Mr. Allen. I only hopo that tho expres
sion may be universal iu its application; and
that in caso a declaration of war should be
made, tho aspirations of tho sonator may be
fulfilled to the utmost oxtc'nt, uuliko the
caso prcsentod after the last declaration of
war. And, indood, I am oncournged to be
lieve that tho experience of after years, per
haps tho improved condition of tho patriotism
of tho country because tho pcoplo horo
havo been enjoying tho benign influences
which tirno and justico never fail to impress'
upon all human uflairs I say, that such a
stato of things may have beon brought about
since our last declaration of war against
Great Britain, that no such melancholy
spectacle could now bo presonted of any
division of public sentiment. I trust these
resolutions will pass, and go to the commit
tee; and that the only subject of discussion
on this floor will bo as to tho modo of pre
paration, and tho kind of preparation; and
that it may be reserved for that time when
distinct mid specific recommendations will
como from tho committee .
Tho dobato was continued in tho Scnato
by speeches from sonators Archer, Webster,
and Crittenden deprecating giving offence to
Great Britain, and by scnatorsSovicr, Wells
and Allen in favor of insisting upon the
wholo , of our rights denied by that arvogant
power.
At tho closo of debato tho resolutions
were agroed to without division.

IS FREE-TRADE ADVANCING?
Many Free-trade men have been lulled
into acquiescence in tho protective policy of
the United Slates, under the idea that it is
only a temporary ovil, soon to bo swept
away by tho'progress of enlightenment. It is
certain that such hopes -aro calculated to
disarm opposition and lcavo the monopolists
in peaceablo possession of their ground; for
mon will not strugglo hard to overthrow that
which they bolieve will soon full of itself.
Wo could much desire that theso hopetul
mon were in the right, but wo cannot shut
our eyes to tho plain fact which evory day
brings forth, showing that in Europe the causo
of Free-trade is not advancing, but receding
year by year. Napoloon's fatal war with
Russia, was to enforco tho "Continental
system1' (which was nothing but tho pro
tective system) against England. It seems
now that tho Continental powors of Europo
are about of their own accord to enforco Na
poleon's Continental system, rcsistanco to
which once banded all Europo in arms aga
inst its author. British manufactures aro in
a fair wav to bo excluded from the whole
Continent. Wo published yesterday a loiter
from the European correspondent of tho
Washington Union, passages of which bear
so strong on this point, that thoy deserve to
bo brought to tho particular notico or our
readers. Wo placo then below.
Eugland, it is now quite certain, has lost
tho markot of central Europe. It is ascertain
ed that tho Congress of tho Zoll-Vcieiii,
now sitting in Callsruhe, (Grand Duchy of
Baden,) is determined to increase the duty
ou twist of which seventy millions of
pounds are annually consumed in G or many
by one hundred .and fifty - per cent, at least;
and that tho spinnors of tho south domain!
oven an augmentation of two hundred per
cent. ; Since the late visit of the Queen of
England which is now admitted cvon by tho
English prints to havo been a complete failure
-tho King of Prussia is willing to increase
tho duty on twist from 2 to 5 rix dollars,
and it is known lo thoso who aro well in
formed, that tho Prussian deputies at the
Congress hare received instructions not to
carry thoir opposition, to a still higher duty
furthor than might meet the views of tho ma
jority of its members. Tho fact is, Germany
will soon learn to spin her own ' cotton and
wool; and as to flax and linen, it is intended
that England shall be provontod from tliroTv-
inn Irish manufactures into the markets of
Leipsicand Frankfort on the Maine.- .
Franco has nover understood tho true
spirit of commerce, or she would have met
with better success iii her colonics. From
her, therefore, notwithstanding tho cordial
understanding between tho two governments,
En eland has to expect nothing. 1 he pro
specls in Spain arc rather dull as regards
British manufactures; and Russia is execut
ing her rovenuo laws w'th all the terror .of
an abaoluto government. . While, therefore,
England is losing, one by ono, all her most
important Europoan markets, . sho must : ne
cessarily bo disposou to lay greater stress on
her commercial intercourse with the United
States, whatever may bo her political prcju
dices against tho aspirations of our people.
In fact, it is quite common for the Gorman
journals of the. Holy Alliance to call Russia
an iron colossus on carthon logs an indis
cretion, somo ten years eso, would certainly
not have been tolerated, nut since then
Russia established her high protective system.
Which completely isolated her from her west
ern neighbors", and tho political relations of
1'iuropo are too nearly allied to tho commer
cial' onos toVdmit of ail alliance in politics
without a corresponding advantage in trade.
And for tho samo reason, I do not believe in
the conliiiuiiuco of tho present . friondljf
relations between England and France, with
out, commercial treaty between the two na
tions, (which is now moro than ever out ot
the question.) - .Substantial benefits bestowed
on llie.peoplo, not thc.porsonal friendship of
princes for ono onotlior, act as insurers of the
peace of tho world. .

United States, in viow of tho high pricQ of

The lorgo portion of this crop is usually
appropriated to "tho feeding of cattlo and the
fatting of pork. Its consumption, as an arti
cle of food for man, has greatly deceased
since our recolloction. But the groat foreign
demand for flour, and tho prico to which it
has carried it, will cause much larger quanti
ties to bo consumed than in other years.. It
is too bulky, compared with its value, to bo
exported, or even to bo sont from tho over
abundance of tho west, to tho eastern mar
kets. Tho tolls upon ear canals havo oper
ated to keep corn away from thousands who
would gladly adopt it as an arliclo of food,
could it but roach thorn at a reasonable cost.
Wo hopo the Cunal Board will take tho mat
ter into consideration, and so regulato tho
tolls another season, that it may bo charged
ad valorum, instead of the specific rales
which are now imposed. It pays a toll equal
to wheat, of twico tho valuo. It would bo a
moasuro of sound financial policy, to reduce
the tolls so low that it can be shipped to Now
York at a profit, and a large trade and much
rovenue, would grow out of its adoption.

JAMES MACKENZIE, EDITOR.
THURSDAY, JANUARF 1, 1S46.
National Defkkce. We publish to-day a
portion of tho debato on Senator Cass's reso
lutions upon Nationul Defence.. .'From tho
views expressed by Senators on that occasion
it is evident that War with England is viewed
as no improbable event. The English Gov
ernment has been making extonsivo warliko
preparations for several months back, fw
which no sufficient reoson has been given,
and it is not unreasonable to conjecture that
they are directed against this country. Eng
land has hitherto negotiated by sending her
envoy backod by a (loot to compel submis
sion to his demands. If such is her design
now, sho will prove less successful than hith
erto. Oregon will not be surrendered to
her clamor or throats. During tho debate,
tho Whig Sonators, and ospccially Archer of
Virginia, deplored tho possibility of our de
fending our rights ogain&t England with
an earnestness that Pakenham himsolf would
not have exceeded. It is strange that while
English statosmon havo mado tho motto,
our country right or wrong," thoir invaria
ble rulo that whig statosmon will refuso to
support their country when sho only demands
what they admit to bo hor right. Tho foil
spirit of party is justly to bo deplored when
the national honor is sought to bo sacrificed
to gratify its animosities. Webster, howovor
has tho excuse of his English sympathies
when in that country he said he "was more
than half aSaxen," and his diplomatic history
has provod him to bo mora English than
American. Of course ho took tho British
sido. Nevertheless thcro was moro of a spirit
of unity than was to bo expocted. And if it
should result, which wo doubt, that England
will use the argument of tho sword, wo be
lieve tho humiliating scenes of intornal trea
son which disgraced our last contest with
that power, will not bo repeatod by any who
havo character to lose.
The courso of Sonators Cass and Allen
on this subject is such as might be expected
from their known patriotism and ability, and
is ono which will enlargo tho confidence and
esteem with which they aro regarded by
their follow-chizcns throughout tho Union.
The State Convention.
The resolutions of tho Convntion hold in this
placo, on Monday, distinctly affirm views with
which wo are clad to concur. ' There aro a number
of dividing principlea which separate tho Demo
cratic from tho whig parly ; but differences upon
many of thoso are but epcoulativo, as far as they
aro rogardod as proeciit lasuos. ine ques
tion of tho Tariff will bo settled by the pres.
cnt Democratic majority in Congress, so that its
discussion is not an immodiate object. o wun
thn itiatribution schomo. wliilo Mr. Polk is Presi
dent, and while democracy retains the ascendant,
it cannot be a successful moasuro. firm grouua
on thoso subjects is no tost, foi is costs nothing.
Banking and tho curroncy, our national and
Siato financial policy form tho real issuo; nau
conctituto tho real Questions upon which unswer
ving fidelity is required." Tho Constitutional
Troasury recommended by Mr. l'olk m tus Mes
sage, is the hard monoy principle adopted as tbo
democratic moans of administering the General
Government sweeping away at once Pet Bonk
and National Bank corruptions, and frooing our
public ofiiiiis from tho mtcrforonec of tha wholo
tup.b of Shvlock Jews, whether by nature or des-
ooiit, who aim to mako government a job and its
administration a bargain, by which clevor scoun
drels shall fill their pockets; all tho wlnlo ossur
ing the pcoplo that thoy do so only to promote tho
general advantage.
As lhe Constitutional Treasury is tho adoption
of tho Hard money principle by tho Uoneral Uov-
ornmont, sound seuso demands that tho principle
dliould be extendod to the management of state
uffairs. This we hold to bo tho truo Democ ratic
ground, and wo cannot and do not understand
what conipromiso wo can mako upon this subject:
Wo yield nothing if we do not yield the rightful
existonco of Banks: and if wo do this we have
nothing moro to yield. We have no principle loft
upon which to stand. Wut why should any uom
ocrat coinnroiiiiao on this subject? What is this
spirit of compromise after all but a scintillation of
that meretricious diplomacy, tho boast of success
in which has ever beon destitution of principle and
rcgardlcssuessof truth, and of which tho strongest
characteristic is its utter contempt of popular
rights. In any revolution whother moral, religious
or political has compromiso been the spirit which
aided the reformer to achievo success f lias lus
torv a sniffle instance of compromiso in which truth
did not suffer, and right succumb? On the con
trary have not thoso who havo adhered to prin
ciplo with unbending firmness, rashly in tho eyes
of temporizers ("monomaniacs" the Patriot would
perhaps call them,) been the mon who have anally
triumphed ? Can wo. if Bank Roform is to bo the
empty and delusivo shadow of principle upon
whieh our cause is built, hppo to succood J The
Whigs aro Bank reformers loo, and it rould re
quire) a more keen perception, than usually falls
to the lot of ordinary mortals, to distinguish the
difference between a Bank loving Pemocrat.ond a
paper money adoring whig. Wo do not anticipate
a vcrv decided demonstration of popular energy
to decide tho nice . differences which may exist
between them.
The business of exchange rendered necessary
by tho interchanges ot Utdo requires not the ma
chinery of Banking for 'itB exercise Discounts
and a paper circulation are the 0is of the eredit
jvptem, introducing favoritism and frgud, hostile
o integrity and honesty, end most valuable to the
Venal sycophant who is alike destitute of principle
aid independence,' and is therefore the inero
ready recipient of bank favors. This kind of
credit it is that we desire cut off, ae one in which
honest lakor hae no partiflpaiion arid no advan
age. Real eredit Buffers by being linked t a
forced and unnatural system which ie contrary to
its principlea and whiebdeea not depend, at al)
genjino eredit must apon integrity and eepeeity .
The history of bankers in Ohio and of the fraud
and failures ef banks demonstrate that folly aaa!
knavery have almost invariably guided bank man
agement. ' '. !; : i
We anticipate that the Convention of tkt ta
January will take tha eound De me cratie grounl.
This done; individual preference for thi
that candidate are a matter of minor importa'ae
and w will rejoiee to know that a spirit of coip
ciliotion hat guided to a satisfactory selcetioa.
In theso resolutions, there ia on which lot
peaches the Democracy of the present conductor
of tho OAte Statesman. ' We have eeated to view
thai journal as the leading organ of the Demo
cracy wo have no confidence ia the honesty of
its Editor. Ho is non-committal upon the enrreney
while tho whole body ef the Ohio Press, of both
parties, is engaged in tha earnest agitation ef the
question. He o ulogisoe and defends every rottea
institution to which suspicion attaches; ate hia
journal ie a greater obstacle to the progress ef
sound opinioaa on this subject than the meet po
tent Whig Prose in the State. The Democracy f
Putnam in declaring their utter want of confidence
in him but give another evidence ef their own
unflinching integrity to sound principle. To
morit their approval a man must be a Democrat in
fust as well as in name, and as for Mr. Haiowell,
wo have seen nothing in hi course to alter, but
every thing to support, oar first opinion expreesed
of him that 11 he has no feeling in commea with
the sound Democracy of Ohio.'' ,
Wo have not given any portion ef the diseueeieat
between him and tho Hons. Benj. Tappan and
Marcus Morton, because we eonsiderod it dis
cussion in which our reader would tak bat
little interest, and because we have never for a
moment believed that the eminent political cer
vices of Judge Tappan could be forgotten by tho
Democracy of the Northwest, or their confidence
diminished by any attacks of a man who has
noithor tried fidelity or approved service to re
commend him, and whose past character and as
sociations give tho best assurance that he is much
more ofa Conservative than be ever was a Deate
