THE VICE PRESIDENT.

On the 9th and nth rules OF the Senate "the
Chair has bestowed its most deliberate and anr-
ioas attention, By night and by day, and has set
tied in the conviction that the right TO call 10
order, on questions touching the latitude or free
dom Of debate, belongs exclusively TO the mem
bers Of this body, and not TO the Chair" Yet a
friend of this officer, under the signature of 50
JIcstern Senator" observes, "On a motion sub
mitted to lay any proposition on the table, de-
bate is precIuded altogether, until the question
be voted on. No one is IN order TO present re-
marks Of any kind. Mr. Randolph had moved
- Law the resolution on the table, when MIR.
Oickerson rising 10 speak, was reminded By the
President, that the motion did not admit of de-
bate; but on his indicating desire TO be heard
and no objection beng made from any quarter, he
was permitted TO proceed. This Indulgence be-
ing extended, of course reply on the part of
Mr.. X. could not, and ought not, TO have been
refused. Mr.. r. having concluded, Mr.. D, a.
gain rose; it was at this moment that the Pres.
ident, desnliRs the debate out Of order, as by the
rules of the Senate, it evidently was, again sug-
gcsted his objections TO the irregularity and
impropriety of the discussion; in which objec-
iion Mr.. D. readily acquiesced. "-LatsLiigencer

the '. p. and he writes, "being present and a
witness TO the transat tom" Believe this friend
!y volunteer witness, and here is one occasion,
IN proof from "a Western Senator" on which
the VI OF his own motion, called to order; OF
his own authority "indulged" breach oforder
and afterwards, when the debate was getting 10
100 great latitude, when "the question touched
the latitude Of debate" deeming anew the de-
bate out of order, again suggesting his objection
and IN fact stopping, cat this moment" the
debate, without It's being pretended that Mr.. d.
at first or at last, was called to order by any
member Of the Senate, or that the President did
not make the call, once and again, of his own
mere motion. The V. P's friends had best be-
ware how they make his actions comment on
che text OF his words. Its only over certain
latitude in debate, that he discaims original, *
exercises exclusively appellate power! If SO,
what "Western Senator defines the latitude?
Where is the prrrogative to stop of"indulgence"

point in any breach?

When the great day of the festival arrives,
which is always on the Sth of June the lord of
