The debate embraces in its wide range the present
pact and future-whatever it is supposed may te in
the present condition of parties. Mr.. Tazewel we

tempted to restrict the range of the debate by cal
ling Gen. Noble to order, who had ungallantly, made
charge upon the "nymph' of Roanoke. The Vice
President replied that the debate had been out of
order from the commencement, but that as no SEN
ator had called order rue his former construc-
ton of his powers he had not felt it his duty, and
demanded of Mr.. Tazewell to reduce the disorderly
words to writing. This was declined, and Gen. No
bic proceeded with increased severity. The general
propriety of Mr. Tazewells call rs manifest to ey-
cry one VINO debate; s.s the utu.ost lat

impose any trammels upon the speakers There

Randolphs colleague, personal friend and hacker.
