In the Senate, we had most animated discus
sion CROWN: out of petition presented by Mr..
Clay, from Mr.. Reynolds, post master in
| Ohio, removed without charge or ceremony, by
that imp of blackncss and ingratitude, Amos
Kendall. MIR Clay took occasion to descaat on
the danger of the exercise of such power by a
subordinate officer of government, as subversive
of the liberty of the citizen, and at war with the
genius and spirit Of free governments, and, if toll
Grated or permitted to go unrebuked by the
American people, would next extend itself to
the Army and Navy.
Mr.. C. said he had already seen that martial
court was convened at Baltimore, to try man,
Major Lendrum, who had purchased articles
from wings instead of the democratic party, to
the great injury of said party; and read the
statement from newspaper.
Mr.. Allen then took OCCASION to justify the re-
moyals, and said that he had aided in them him
self that they were always made by the express
will of the people, and that not one per cent. Of
removals had been made that were required by
the people. From this he glanced at Gen. Hair
rison, and broke out into TRADE against log
this country were not to be gulled by such traps
such catch words
MIR Crittenden rebuked Mr.. Allen, in the most
sarcastic manner. 1t will not become any one from
Ohio to villify so distinguished soldier; one

age and British influence He spoke of the SER
vices Of Gen. Harrison, in council, in Congress,
1 L
mon property Of the nation-and asked, how
could they stoop to defame such man. esHard
cider and log-cabins" were terms Of reproach,
which his enemies laughed at him for, but which
his friends had taken up, and they had turned to
plague the inventors.
BANKRUPT BILL.
Mr.. Calhoun spoke for soma time; he is against
the whole banking system, but goes strongly
against the clause including banks.
The banks were stricken out OF the bill by
vote of % to 16,
have my fears whether the conflicting opin-
ions will not destroy the bill at last
The House Of Representatives, having con-
summated most extraordinary outrage last
night, in resembling rule Of the House as old
as the constitutional government, have had
quiet session to-day
The Rule rescinde ed, was the safeguard
and protection of the minority. 1t preserved the
order of business, gave some measure of
justice, to the private claimants, by setting a
part time for the consideration of private bills,
and devoted three days of six to the discussion a
important questions of public policy; undezit the
sub-treasury bill would have been the special
order OF the day for Teusday, Wednesday and
Thursday, until disposed Of, under the rule a.
dopted in the rescindency of the old rule all 9TH
er business is neglected to give way to the dis
cussion OF the "Bill Of Abominations The out
rage was notcommitted without gross abuse
OF power on the part Of the majority. The or
der to rescind the time, and every thing done in
relation to the order, was the result Of violence.
The previous question was sprung and no
