Litchfield enquirer., 1832-07-19

The Washington Correspondent OF the
Providence Journal, under date Of yaly z, re
intea she following circumstances as having oc-
Cured 10 the Senate the day previous ous'ns
the debate on the Tariff -
Is while the bill was in progress Mr.. Alb
hot Lawrence, gentleman from Boston, VINO
was on the floor, addressed few words to
Mr.. Webster, aud one or two Senators whose
a.ats were convenient 70 him. This simple,
common, and unofEending act, was noticed by
Mr.. Hayne, who, Il appears had, at that mo-
naeut, submitted some proposition. Mr.. H.
quickly seized an occasion to advert to this
act. He at once charged the manufacturers
with directly interfering with the legislation
Of the Senate, aud with gross violation OF the
rules Of the Senate, for the psrPose OF fur
theriDE their individual interests. M. Web
ster replied tint there wasAa time when cltl-
zens Of the United States could not come
within these walls without the risk Of imputa-
tions on their honor. He had hoped that that
lime had gone by brewer but It It was to be
revived, he would have suspected any man of
attempting its revival rather than the GENTLE
man from South Carolina. He chose to un-
derstand the significant emphasis. and still
more significant looks Of the gentleman from
South Carolina. He had been 10 converse
ton with friend sitting behind him, who was
his neighbor and his friend and, with what
ever fDrbearance he might receive any thing
coming from that gentleman concerning him
self alone. he would not permit his friend to
be stseefed at, and remain patient and silent.
He suggested that. Il a certain English black
smith were now to knock at the door of the
Senate chamber, with his horse shoes, the
gentleman from South Carolina would be the
first to let him in. He then referred to the
opinion Of Albert Gallatin, that citizens had a
right to be present at the deliberations Ol
Congress, and to i've Information to theft
representatives, on allmatters concerning the
public interest. He wished the Senator from
South Carolina to know, once for all, that he
would not be permitted to sneer at any frient
ofhis. Mr.. Hayne rejoined that he had seer
an Individual leaning over the bar, at the mo
ment he had made proposition to the Sen
ate !; aud that il he should again see such
violation Of the rules of the Senate, he woule
move to expel the individual who mightbe gull
~ oft. Mr.. Clay said that he occupiedan out
side seat where he was accustomed to converse
with his friends, and he would assure that Sena.
tor that Wieneverhe mOvedtO expel any friend
Of his, for holding sach intercourse. he might
be- assured that his friend should not leave the
chamber, unless he himself went v ith him.
While the Senator thus denounced all the
friends of the tariff, all on his own side were
clever fellows. He asked the gentleman why
he didnot direct his indignation against little
fellow about four feet ten inches high, with
red hair, who might be seen daily limping
about the Hobbies, and who had been SUM-
fn0ned here by the Secretary of the Treas,,-
sry, and received three dollars day for the
rnrpOse 0f putting down the tariff. Why,
/ when honorable citizens Of this floor were
made the subjects Of attack, why was not
Mosea Myers, the Jew, denounced The
scene ended here, but presume that some
unpleasant feelings remained long afterwards"
