The distinguished Senator then referred 10 me

And lnow tellhe Senator that II he should go there
and use the language he has employed this day in
ms assembage Of the representatives, Of sovereign
States, he would be treated with the contempt which
ne has incurred, and which he deserves"
Here Mr.. HENDERSON, Of Mississippi, arose, and
expressed hope that the order Of drbale would be
preserved.
The Vice President said he had relied upon the
sense ofdny and the honor of every Senator to pre-
serve the order and decorum OF the body and now,
that the point of order was raised BY the member
from Mississippi, he hoped both gentlemen would
conine themselves strictly within parliamentary
courtesy.
Mr. TALLMADoE said, that far as he was con-
cerned, the Vice Presidents reliance should not be
in vain. He appealed lothe presiding officer and 10
the Senate whether his manner OF debaiing was no,
marked by proper personal Difference and respect
TO his adversaries. IT. the present occasion, he
had departed from this course, II was only repel an
supplementary and outrageous attack, and the most
offensive impu ations.
He then proceeded to recount the circumstances.
under which he had departed from the support of
the Admnstralion---the history oflhe Sub-Treasury
Biil-he manner in which This essentially E1eeu-

powerful and impressive passage.
He also depicted, in striking manner, the spe-
ces OF warfare carried agains; those who had
the frmness and independence 10 maintain their
ground in opposition to the Executive. II was
somewhat after the fashion in which the Florida
war is now TO be conducled-by blood hounds and
bull dogs 1t is the same now. The bull dog of the
Executive gives his howl, and every hound OF the
party and every little cur Of high or low degree,
joins in the yelping chorus.
Mr.. Talmadge said his colleague and other Sena-
tors seemed to have some doubt about the real sen
ments Of New York. Possibly il from The very
strength OF The sentiment, and the unequivocal man
ner in which il had been exhibited, that these doubs
arose. He had heard of lady who was sotal that
it difficult to recognize her after single intro
duciion. The President and his friends had been
three times; and yet they did not know it. The
President would have the opportunity OF being in
,roduced for the fourth time and after that, he
would be welcomed by felow-citizens of his ma
live Stale 10 the bowers Of retirement, at Kinder
hook, and obtain leave to enjoy for years. he hoped,

by affecting that his insolenl impula,ions were only
