PRICE ONE CERT.


autaora;ive manner any question of order, OF et-
nue,te. that might possibly arise between the high
assembled parties on that new and unprecedented
occasion. Not far off stood the honorable Soma

Senator from South Carolina with an Indignant
curl on his liz and scorn in his eve, aud pointing

Mr. BrSros The Senator from Missouri was
not there.
Mr. CLAY. stand corrected .vas only ina

there. renewed laugh,er.) Then there stood
the Senator from Georgia, (Mr. Culhbert,) coming
over in his mind on wha, point he should make his
next attack npon the Senator from Kentucky.
(Laughtcr) On yonder ottoman rcclined the other
Senator from Missouri my letl, Mr.. Linn in

ta,ions on the rise growth, and future powers OF
his new colony Of Oregon. The honorable Senator
from Pennsylvania, Mr.. Buchanan,) | presume,
stood forward spokesman for his whole party.
and although cannot pretend to initiate his we'll
known eloquencc, beg leave make humble
essay toward what Ipresumc TO have been the kind
of speech delivered by him on that august occasion:
. Nav it Please Your Exceeacy a number of
your present political friends, late your political
opponents, in company with myself, have come 10

Senate and House of Representatives proved too
strong for US And we have now come most

on, the Senator will view with indulgence
this effort to represent him. although am but too
seaside how far it falls short OF The merits of the
original At all events, he will feel that here Is
not a greater error than was committcd by the |
steEographer of the In,ellgencer the other day, |
when he put into my mouth u part OF the honora-

honorable Senator'S the other side OF the cham

doubt the very learned ex.Secretary Of the Trea-
surv, who conducted that Department with such
distinguished ability, and such happy results to the
country and who now has such profound abhor-
renee of all taxes On tea and coffee, though in
his own official reports, he sodis,inctly recommend

industry which so emioently distinguishes him, and

There is one remurl, Of the Senator from Penn
,vlvana which demands some notice. My Trend
from Virgixia, Mr. Archer, threw out an inumauon
tina, very possibly the Senator from Pennsylvania
knew more of the sentiments and purposes prevail
ing at the White House than he did. That Sena-
tor. in reply denied that that the case as Vel,
but said that he hoped and expected it might
be So Expected! E,pecte. what That It

call forth his most profound gratitude, should ah"n
don the party which elevated him--should commit
AN act not less than treason and Join that party OF

INJURIOUS to the President. | do not prelend 10

an ac, of treachery were affirmed OF me, the re-
proacit would al my heart 10 It's lnmost recesse'
with horror and loathing. Be-, the Senator chose
10 assign the reason why he hoped and expected
this. Ii was tina, the President differed from HI

points of policy Now, intend for n moment, 10
institute a comparison between the differences OF
