 There was sharp passage of words yes. terday in the Senate between Mir. Forsyth and Mr. Sprague, which is not otherwise inn portant than as it shows the disposition to sustain Gen. Jackson in all his acts, of how ever outrageous character, or however ex pressive ofs contempt for the coordinate branches of the government. It occurred du- ring the debate on the bill to extend vaccina- ton among the Indians, in the course of which some references were made to the individu. als employed as Indian agents. Mr. Sprague took occasion to speak in warm tones of the manner in which the President, as appears rom printed report of the Indian expendi- lures, had appointed to agencies, Rector. Stambaugh, and Gardiner, after they had been rejected by the Senate. He added that when men, thus rejected for the infamy of their characters, were immediately afterwards appointed by the President, he would vote to tie up the hands of the Executive. MT. For syth inquired if the Senator from Maine in- tended to say that these individuals were in. famous. One of them, he said was merely rejected because he was printer; one be- cause he had been engaged in a fray in the West, and the other because his character was not understood. The reply ofMr. Sprague was maniy,Ht once, and to the point. He said S.-'>e ssS NhS HNCoAtVu uuO OCCu OtSttUSly PsO- posed to him, heshould show that he had no disposition to evade an answer, whatever haz- ard members of Congress now encountered by speaking the truth in their places. He re- peated that Rector was rejected because he had been convicted of deliberate attempt to commit murder, and asked if that was not in famous That Gardiner was rejected be- ] cause of his loose habits. He would now de- 1 clare iR his place that some of those who had been rejected, and had been since employed by the President. were regarded as infamous. aud he called on the gentleman from Georgia ! to deny this in his place. Yet now the Sem ate was told that after the Senate had thus l rejected men, the President had right to employ 4hem. He asked if there were no other persons in the UniIed States deserving ofconfdence. that the President should thus select those who were thus turned from the doors of the Senate. He neser would con- cede t0 a President any such power. Mir. Forsyth attempted to explain that Rector was more unfortunate than criminal. and thai in the case of Gardiner the testimony of the Senators from Ohio. that he was intemperatc, ted to his rejection, although the certificates subsequently, received from men Of the high est standing, induced a suspicion that the Sen atOrs had beeusin error. This drew on Mir Forsyth tho Achillean wrath 0f Mir. Ewing which compelled the ex.diplOnlat to ressrt tC his half. s0FgOtten diIiIomacy to extricaee him sclf-N. r. Spec.

 As we expected, the Swearing Editor has refused to give Judge Scott's reply a place in his columns. He excuses himself, by denying that the Judge has "been in- dividually assailed in Gov. Pope's publica- tion"-ail that is necessary to give the lie direct to this assertion, is reference to the Governors communication. We can readily account for his refusal to repub- fish. Judge Scott's reply is such a com plste refutation of the calumnies against the members of the late Legislature, with which his paper has teemed for months, that he is unwilling it should be generally read by his subscribers. The Party begin to find that this Ten Section Bill is not the thing they took it to be; if they are not careful. we opine, 1t will fail to fur nish them the "RALLYlNG roINTo spoken of by Col. sevier.

 Washington. April l3.
 The Ten Section subject IS beginning 70 wear different aspect in this county. Many who were of opinion that the Legis- iature acted with an eye single to the in terest of Mr. Crittenden, are now satisfied that that intelligent body believed they were doing the best for Arkansas. This seems to be the belief of many at present, sFho have heretofore appeared much en- raged. There are others who still believe that better disposition might be made of the land, than to give 1t for MT.

"knotty' question was put to Judge Scott, in the last Gazette, by tic Swearing Edi- tor:
 < Was 1t not the intention of Robert Crittenden and others to have located part of the Ten Sections of land on tract adjoining and immediately below tho town of Llttie Rock
 How < ltaoAy", how perplexing!! If Col. Ashley had not been absent, we would have been spared the trouble and vexation this G knotty', interrogatory has given us could have told this swearing gentleman, that ii was not quite as full of kaots as he had supposed. He could have informed him, that there was not quarter section of unimProeed land between this town and Gov. Pope s farm, {about four miles below this place); and that as MT. Crittendcn's grant thad the exchange taken place) would have been RESTRICTED one, he could not have located foot of land with in four miles of town.
 But let us see if we can't tie few knots too, as < knotjy' questions appear to be in vogue.
 Was it not the intention of Nick. Balls SECURITIES, (for whose benefit alone the proposition was made,) had his offer been accepted by the Legislature, not only to have located " part of the T en Sec tions on tract below town," but to have located every valuable Improvement in Washington county!
 We guess it was. Else why did they re- fuse to be 1esfricteok in the location of the Ten Sectionsl One of Balls securities, has since said, that under no condition would he have lent his name as security, if the proposal had contemplated restricted grant. No, they wanted full sweep at improuements--they wished to enrich them selves at the expense of the poor mans labor.
 We repeat, that Balls proposition was That being the case, some may be ready to ask, why they did not come forward and make their own propositions. The answer is at hand They knew very we'll tha. t .:yeaild .se. ] fer: then. tc appear as the chief actors in the play--some were high in office and were fearful they might be made to totter. Their plan was to To- cate Improvements in the name of Ball--he was to be made the scape-go goat--he was to receive all the curses and anathemas of an injured and hard working people while his securities, behind the scene, were to reap the harvest. It was deep laid scheme to ruin the people of Washington county.
