The Shawnees attacked the Commanches. about

ton concluded his reply to Messrs CLAY and Web.
ster.
that an abusive quarrel took place between Mossrs
Clay and Benton. IL seems that Mr.. CIsv had
commented on the Presidents Message with con.
siderable severity.
Mr. Benton rctorted with much asperity upon
Mr.. Clay, for his attacks upon the President
Mr. Clay replied, and alluded to the quarrel which
Mr.. Benton had with Gen Jackson at Nashville
some years before, and rang the changes upon the
handful, which Mr.. Benton had published against
General Jackson, Immediately after that fracss.
Mr.. Benton reoined by telling Mr.. Clay that it
was true he and Gen. Jackson had quarrellcd and
fought, but that this matter had ended, and they
were ffleBds--but that there wero no charges Of
want OF voracity still suspended over his head.
