The Arkansas advocate., 1834-05-16


 oifsssil oifssl e.il the way, by falks wantin to know what had happel'd, by the lime had reach ed the capitol ali Congress knew 1t, and all parties was in takin about 1t. went first io-the ifio,,se oi Representatives, and let em know there that all 1 wanted was jest to be allowed to stop there ever night; and then come sieh knockin of noses. MT. Adams spoke for more than half an hour. in favor of having cot put up for me right off, Mr. Cambreleng from York City, said it was altogether great party question, and must be handled carefully, aud he wanted time to consider ont. asked MT. Law renee, another New York member, if he couldn't give me lilt-frst he thought he would, and he piek'd his teeth on one side, and said he'd jest see his friends about it. when he got back, found he was pickin teeth on tother side, and said he was afraid It might not do, seein he was now candi- date for Mayor up there in New York, and he must go with his party.
 And SC after nigh about all the speakers got a chance, and some on lem was jest be- ginin to speak q second time, Mr. Beards- l ley said if Congress, and Credit and Banks and Canals all perished, he'd vote agin it-. and to cut the matter short, he moved the previous question and Mir. Nanderpool from hildeThiooia ffwho thought w;ss tic tic one who rote that Dutch letter to mel he said it was all " hum-bug," and he secop- ded the motion. When they come to count over the names, there was a tie, and the speaker had to ontie the hull ont; and so he got up and made considerable of a speech about 1t, and wound up by sayin the Cheer had never been called on to decide on more important pint, and that though the Cheer could give 5000 reasons right off for the vote he was about to give, yet he would give but one, and that was that the Major could not have bed there--he knew the Bank and Riddle had a hand in sendin the Major there, and that was enuf for him; and so the Cheer decided that the Major must tote his bundle out. Well, thinks l, that was pritty tight vote, any how, and 1 went over to the Senate Chamber. There they were all at it, too as soon as went in Mir. Van Buren call'd Mir. King of Ala bama to take his place, and I could ony git a glimps on him now and then, lodging about, and no critter could tell whether he was tickl'd or not. Mir. Grundy wanted to have the hull matter referred to his con- mittee on the Post Office. Mir. Clayton said he wouldn't agree to that, for that com. mittee would never report in creation, and when they did, perhaps they'd find the EIa- iors name scratched out, and some one else written in the place ont.
 Mr. Calhoun said he was glad the Ma ior had come there, the '.Conservative prir1- ciple" says he, IS now getting 10 be better understood States shou'd stick to 1t with 1 reference to the General Goyefnment- l Counties to States-TownshIps to. counties --IanlaIIes tu tuwu,l,rps--and ifdIvidtsais 10 families-so that philosophically, and meta physically, and, above all, politically speak ing, the Major had as good 8 right to the . use of the Senate chamber, as the General Government, and here says he IS the butt end of my notions of notification, and hope the Major and every man will now 1 fully understand meat one end of the avenue, says he, stands the white house, and at the other end the Senate chamber "Consolidationn there, "Conseryativev here
 and he wound up by saying that for his part ne was ready to contribute his chair and desk for the Major to spread his bed on. Mir. Benton was just goin to begin, and was about swinging my pack on my shoulder, foT when he gits hold he hangs on like a tooth-ache, and would tak'd all highland so they cald question like all
 natur, and he took his seat. Mr. Webster he got up next, and was just agoin to tackle on and take pull upon Mir. Calhoun's l conservative notIons-but he hadn't gone far when he took out his watch and sein il was gttin late, he said he would not take up the constitutional part of the question for if fie did, and seein that he must sil the hull principal of consolidation and conser. vatiye notions, the Major might lose his I nights lodgins, and so he moved that the application, along with the Major, his aA and bundle, be laid on the table for tha
 night, and if the table warn't big enaf he'o push his'n along side ont; then come 5 leetle kind of tussel, and pretty nigh the hull on'em had something to say. Wher Mr. Clay got chance-he IS master hand you know, in quiettin matters when they git in a snarl-he said there was nc doubt large majority of the Senate in ia vor of givin the Major place to lay his ! I head but the great difficulty was to decide whether 1t would be an act growth out O
 the conservative principle, or the principle
 of consolidation, so ably stated by the gen. tleman from South Carolina and as regard ed the constitutionality of the measure, he was so desirous to hear the gentleman iron Massachusetts at an early hour the nex day, and he had no doubt that gentleman would ably expound it--and that he for one was sure he should not differ with him--but
