Ertrdctof a letter from Washington to the Editor.
The scene in the Senate was in the highest
degree interesting and exciting on Friday
You, of course, have had, and have given to
your readers, the general facts.
Mr.. Benton was very coarse, and ] think
grossly insulting to Mr.. Calhoun, in his remarks.
At last, when he Numbered out that the Sena-
tor from South Carolina "had made direct
attack on TRUTH" he was called to order by Mr..
Poindexter The Vice President, accompany
ing his decision with some purely equivocal,
non-committal remarks. decided Mr.. Benton
to be in order Mr.. Webster, highly indig-
question of order had been argued in an ami
mated manner by several Senators, the deci-
sion was finally reversed by vote of24 to 81.
BY consent, Mr. Benton was then allowed to
proceed. He spoke with great violence. strung
out tissue of extravagances, 'and employed the
coarsest and most awkward figures. His man
ner was also as offensive as his language and
in the worst possible taste.
Mr.. Calhoun commented upon the "BELLow-
ING" as he termed it, Of Mr.. Benton, and in re-
ply TO an intimation that this might be made a
personal matter, declared that he despised such
menace and disregarded such suggestion
that he knew what be had to encounter when he
engaged in the task of assailing Executive pa
tronage. stand here, he said, the advocate Of
American Liberty; and am not TO be intmi-
dated or driven from my purpose.
Mr.. Calhoun is as firm and as brave as lie is
talented and patriotic To compare Mr.. Benton
