Sparring.-On the 2Sth uIt. in the
discussion of the Land Bill, Mr.. CLAW
having incidentally adverted to the fact
that many of the Senators misrepresented
their constituents, Mr.. Allen, of Ohio,
who happens to be in that predIcament,
took FIRE at the allusion aud "repelled
the attack of the Senator from Kentuc-
KY" He said be would not permit
him or any other man to refer in thar
way TO the relation subsisting between
him and the people of Ohio" and h.
wound up by saying that che would
hold any man accountable, who did
make such illusions in the Senate and
out of it Nerv brave words these
very ! Mr.. Clay rose and with great
calmness, remarked. that "he thought
there was no necessity for all this indir.
na'ion-and none for the Senator from
Ohio asseverating SO strongly what he
would do: As TO personal responsibility
he had found in his life, that the men Of
the greatest determination were not
those who made the most talk about IT."
Whereupon MIR. Allen took back all he
said about personal accountability, and
said he meant nothing of that kind"
