Under these circumstances, II csnno; be matter
OF surprise that Mr. Van Buren, and tho chief con.

signal defeats. Mr. Benton has uniformly exhibit.

action was delayed and every effort was made
by them IN the Senate to avoid a direct vote
They once united in vote to recommit. with in

When the vote was about TO be taken, Mr. Ben

He was ovorbearlng, sUpcrcious insolent to the
last degree treating the Jackson Senators with
naughty contempt and assuring them that tho
measure would become in few months so odious
that they would be ashancd TO hear of it
This he repeated often that the Sonato rs of
his party would no longer submit to il. The pride
and spirit OF Virginia were touched at the brow

Mr.. Rives took the floor, and delivered himself
with great earnes,ness. He denounced ex,raya-
VACANT expenditures, declaring his utter adherence
OF the thought of approprisling Fly miilons--al-
legng that all such schemes were ut variance with
his whole life and all his professions. lie alluded
TO the distribution project Of President Jackson in
his message of 1880, and retortcd upon Benton
with decided condemnation Of his cource. Mr..
R'cs was followed by Van Buren's New York
Senator Mr.. Tamadge, who went on in the same
strain, to the great astonisamcnt Of the party at
iarge-Hnd OF Mr. Benton, the Great Expunger. in
particular.
This was he first public outbreak ofirri,uted and
exasperated feelings which had ill then been sun.
pressed and concealed Mr. Benton was distinctly
told that he must no longer pretend to dictate a.
leader. He is man Of violent and vindictiye
temper, and the most uDcurbed nsoence of manner
and expression. lie is sustained by the Kitcben
Cabinet, the Globe, and the New York delepntiop.
with the single exception Of Mr. Tallmadge nj
knODn that President jackson sides ,cifh Mr.. B,nfon
The Senator looks forward 10 further elevation md
he clings to the skirts OF the General with mistaken
pertinscity. 1t is understood at Washington tim,
the President dcnonnces oil who voted for the Bill
IN the Senate, With great freedom, and not in the
most decorous language. lie is not much in the
habit of picking his phrases.
When the Bill was sent TO the House from the
senate-me Presideni Immediately gaze out ani

That he could never believe him capable Of such
course, until he should see the document in black
and white. The party rally commenced. The
Hedds Of he Department visited he naesse,. The
drill sergants went the rounds and the force was
to be brought to bear on The taking up Of The BiH
which requires vote Of two thirds. We are well
advised Of the fact that the party received assure
anccs tbst the Presdeat ooud veto IL; and that he
would esteem 1t an act unrendly to himself TO give
any covntennce to the measure. Every argument
was employed TO dIssusde and deter. But, for one
the representatives Of the people had tho 6rmness
TO consult the interests Of the People. They
broke through all the obstacles that were thrown
IN the way of.he bill. The power Of The discipIo
has failed. breach has been made IN the ranks
Of the Jackson phalsnx; the cauens policy has
been signslly defeated.
This is not the result OF accident, but Of deter
mined spirit Of resistance TO the ssyish dominion
under which the parry has hitherto groaned. The
collars and chains have been snapped. The defee-
ton has caused much Ill blood and bitter feeling
Riyes aud Tsmsdge may be accommodated
Rives has disposition consul, the dietsiion Of
