the conflict by falling foul of King of Ge0r. gin, for his remarks--I have given them briefly above-in reference to tho govern. mcnt of the United States Bank. He thO't it very uniIind in King of Georgia, to talk to him as he did, about the Government ol the Hermitage, and the Government of the White House!" Mr. King, however, would not retract what he had said, but remained q silent listener to Mr. Calhoun.
 1 Mr. C. contnued-speaking warmly a. q. inst the Postponement Bill, defending its merits, and urging speedy action upon it, The country would receive no relief lift was not passed, and thousands in the country-in New York particularly-were anxiously a- waiting its decision! QueTy.~Is Mr. c. cor rect! Does any body--the Loco FocoS ex- ceptcd-wish to see the Sub- Treasury scheme become the law of the land! Mir. Calhoun continued, by saying that if the Experiment was now postponed, it would never become a law--aud the effect ofits not bccOminga a law would be
 " Bank and Riddle,
 -r..f And fiddle de dddle."
 I have seldom heard severer tirade against the poor dead and buried Monster, from Gen. eral Jackson or Thomas II. Benton, than that which came from Mr. Calhoun. On Ma t;onal Bank he sees the eleven foot, horns,
  Prince of Darkness himself. Bank, Bank, Bank, since Monday, has been the only idea Mr. Calhoun has given vent to. The poor 1 ghost of a monster torments- him worse than the ghosts of Duncan and Banquo haunted the poor Macbeth.
 1 Rives took the floor as soon as MT. Cal houn yielded it. A little whirlwind seemed | to rage within, to which he was anxious to l give vent, by an attack, first upon the Sena- tor from South Carolina, and secondly, upon the great Humbug of Missouri. Togive you ] u fair representation of the scene between Benton, the "great Expunger," and the lit- 1 tie Expunger"-as the Richmond Whig calls Mir. Rives-and the new advocate of the " nn- Tried erpediem,' from South Carolina-to do this, you must imagine Clay and Webster seated upon the right of Mir. Rives, on the left side of the Senate Chamber. Benton is seated upon the left, and Calhoun in front of him, n seat or two to the left. Mr. Benton, on Friday, after appealing personally to MT. | Rives, and admonishng him for abandoning his party, told Rives # he sooula look orer his right shoulder he Uould see chere he support ,ras to come from schich ,couA susiain his BM. MT. Rives remembered the remark for twenty five hours, and not having the fears of the Rich- mond Enquirer before his eyes, who has re- gently told both bim and Benton, to put Satan behind them instead of taking him as their leader-not mindful of Ritchie's admonition, Mr. Rives retorted upon Mr. Benton, by say ing that if the Senator from Missouri ioould l0ok beore him, oper his lefi shoulder, he aOouM dis couer who was his fle leader and supporter. MT. Benton had alluded to Clay and Webster, who may vote for Rives's Bill, and Rives al- luded to Calhoun, who will vote for Wright s and Benton's Bill. Mr. Ryes throughout his remarks was very personal upon both Sena- tors-Benton and Calhoun-particularly so upon Mir. c. Calhoun, in reply, told Rves that he was in a storm of passion, and person. ally insinuating. The attempt to associate him with Benton, he said was personally in- sinuatng, unworthy of Mr. R. and beneath q Virginian! But my sheet is full and must stop where l am. Yours, E. B. WAsH1NeToN, Sept. 25.
 MR. CLAY IN THE SENATE.-I have heard MT. Clay in the Senate, in a part of his speech. He is still upon the floor, and the Senate chamber is so full that the multitude are literally piled upon each other. MT. Clay was as interesting as usual. SYNOPSIS OF HIS SPEECH.
 The propositions recommended by each portion of the Administration party, he says, are rather calculated to aggravate the suffer- ings of the people and enhance public ex- citement.
 The way to avoid public distress in the flu. ture, Mir. Clay says, is to avoid experiments, and aintried erpedtents for the future. The ci- tizens of the United States, when the experi- ment is thus abandoned, will be contented and happy. and the country once more find the peace it has lost.
 l Less than five years ago, said Mir. Clay, we had national credit in the four quarters of the Globe. We had u currency, unsur. passed in the world. Every thing that was then good is now bad. All the predictions that were then made are now fulfilled to the
 letter, and the causes of our sufferngs were
 told m all sections of the country.
 II Mir. Clay complimented MT. King of Geor. gia, for the course he had taken upon the Bill
 before the eSenate-partcularly for his refer. ence to the message of the Executive. A, some length Mir. c. spoke upon that part O the message referring to the distresses il Great Britain and the United States. Tn, President had identified them as the same.-- They were wholly different. If Great Brit ain had suffered, it was from her trade asso
 ciations with the United States. The distres
 m the two countries differed, inasmuch as tn, pressure there had not led to the suspensio, of specie paymentS-whie the distress il a inc United States had led to suspension.- | toa~ President YVES also wrong in referrin, eountrleaansion of paper money in the twt 3 land, within ahe same.
