PRINTERS TO THE SENATE "A discussion
upon the removal of Blair and Rives as Printers,
is going on in the Senate, as yet, which threat
cns to continue, for aught know some days,
branching off as it does upon matters and things
in general. In the course of it to day, warm
words passed between Mr.. Clay and Mr. King
Of Alabama, warm enough to make duel, II
fighting this way had not gone out Of fashion.
Mr. King said the private character Of Mcssrs
Blair and Rives were as good as MIR. Clay's.--
Mr.. Clay after stating what Mr.. Calhoun had
said of Blair and Blair had said of John Catalina
Calhoun, and pickcns also who, called
Blair "a galvanized corpse" Gas well as many
other things in this vein,) pronouncing Mr..
Kings comparison of his character with BARS
"caunnous, false, and cowardly,' whereupon
he sat down. In the course of the discussion
one of the Senators remarked, that Foreign
Minister of high standing, called his attention
to the fact, that on the day when Gen. Harrison
was invited by President Van Buren,, to partake
of his inequalities, ''the Court Journal was
holding him (Gen. I'D up to the world in light
and with epthc;s, which if true, no gentleman
could associate with him.
Mr.. Wright has the floor tomorrow. Mr.
Huntington, of Conn. made an able speech to-
day on the subject denying that the Resolution
of the last Senate made any contract binding
this Senate, or that it could bind this in the
selection OF its officers, and lie also stated wlia
is worth noting, that no party in Congress here
.ofurc, knowing il was to be succeeded by anoth
er party, had thus att mpted to impose upon i
an obnoxious printer.
