mic. in ,phich his o,on friends came inJor
Laroe share of abuse. He was overbearing
supercilious, insolent TO the last degree
treating the Jackson Senators with
naughty contempt, and assuring them tina
the measure would become in a few month
so odious, that they would be ashamed t
hear of it
This he repeated SO often that the Sena
tors of his party would no longer submit
to it. The pride and spirit OF Virglni,
were touched at the ~brow-beating in%solenc'
of this political %rufian, and she spoke on
with some portion of her old integrity. Mr.
Rives look the floor, and delivered himsel
with great earnestness. He denounced
extrava CANT expenditures, declaring hi
utter adherence Of the thought Of appro'
pria,ing FIFTY MILLIONS alleging tha'
all such schemes were at variance with hi;
whole life and all his professions. He al
luded to the distribution project of Presi
dent Jackson, in his message of 1880, ant
retorted upon Benton with a decided con.
demnation of his course. Mr.. Rives wat
followed by Van Buren's New York Sena
tor, Mr.. TalImadge, who went or in the
same strain, to the great astonishment oil
the party at large-and of MIR. Benton, the
great eXpunger, in particular.
This was the first public outbreak Of irri.
tated and exasperaled feelings, which had
been suppressed and concealed. Mr. Ben
ton was distinctly told that ne must no
longer pretend to dictate as a leader. He
was discounted, mortified, indignant. He
is q man of violent and vindictive temper,
and the most uncurbed insolence of manner
md ovnpnccinn Ha 10 sustained hv tho
Kitchen Cabinet, the Globe, and the New
York delegation, with the single exception
of Mr.. Tallmadge. IL is knopn that Pres
ident jacobsen sides c,ih Mr.. Benton. The
Senator looks forward to further elevation,
and he cllngs 10 the skirts Of the General
with mistaken pertinacity. 1t is under
stood at Washington that the President
denounces all who voted for the bill in the
Senate, with great freedom. and not in the
most decorous language. He is not much
in the habit of picking his phrases.
When the bill was sent to the House
from the Senate--THE PRESIDENT IMME.
DIATELY GAVE OUT THAT He sHoULD VETO
Notwithstanding Mr.. Rives said that
he could never believe him capable oc such
a course, until he should see the document
in black and white. The party rally COM
menced. The heads of The departments Uis,
tied The messes. The drill sergeants went
the rounds; and the force was TO be brought
to bear on the tahing up Of The bill, which
requires a vote of two thirds. We are we'll
advised of the fact, that the party received
assurances that the PRESIDENT WOULD
vETo and that he would esteem it an act
unfriendly 10 himself to give any counte-
nance to the measure. Every argument
was employed to dissuade and deter. But,
for once, the representatives of the people
had the frmness to consult the interests
of the people. They broke through all
the obstacles that were thrown in the way
of the bill. The power of discipline has
failed. A breach has been made in the
ranks of the Jackson phalanx; the caucus
policy has been signalIy defeated.
This is not the result of accident, but of
q determined spirit of resistance to the sla-
wish dominion under which The party has
hitherto groaned. The collars and chains
have been snapped. The detection has
caused much ll.blood and bitter feeling
Rlves and Tallmadge may be excommuni-
Gated. Rives has no disposition TO consult
the dictalion of Benton, There is an obvi.
Gus determination among the Jackson mem
bers of the Senate TO rid themselves of tho
odious and insolent rule of the Senator
from Missouri. They will throw him over
board at the first convenient opportunity
but as long as he is sustained by the Presi-
dent the struggle will be hard one. To
use the language of one oftheir own men,
bers--''the bubble is bursting" This is
equally true with Mr.. Van Buren's admis
sion 1--WE are in a box" Every effort
will of course be made to heal the breach
among the leaders. But Mr.. Benton is
fierce, indom table, and impIacable he
harmonizes with the rutian politicians of
the Globe; and with his help they rule the
President. He has an eye on the throne,
and is afraid that Mr.. Rives will attain a
consideration that may make him q formida-
BILE rival. He will urge on the President,
and it will be difficult TO restrain the old
man from violent and indecent denuncia
lions. What will result from all this, q
few days will show. Meanwhile we wait,
with intense interest, for further develop.

From The New York Courier, June 25.
The Deposite Bill become a Lap. The
Globe of yesterday, announces the Presi.
dents approval of the Opposite Bill, and
accompanies the annunciation by a string
of sulhy remarks. The Globe is evidently
chagrined and mortified at the results, but
is obliged to swallow the modification as
best it may. The President it appears, is
by no means pleased with the bill, though
according to the official mouth piece, it has
