day by the debate relative 10 the dismissal

nl.s Blair 81 Rwcs as printers 10 the Twen.
". seventh Congress.

ueciicut, aud others, scveralIy addressed The
Senate against The adoption at the resOn-
uon, und alessrs. Henderson,, (Hlay on col.
lateral point aud Preston IN favor of It.
Il Much interest appears Ia have been taken
III the debate, and the galleries aud floor
were crow Ged with visitors during the whole
time.
| In it's course warm words have passed be-
tween different Senators, and much personal
and GlsOrderly abuse has Characterised The
language OF the Tories, especially MIR.
KING OF Alabama, known by the soubrlqnct
Of Miss Nancy" During the debate, Mr.
Clay Of Kentucky, spoke Of the disgracelul
character of the Globe as II newspaper, and
OF It's editors. He said that even wIlhn TIE
iew weeks past, 1t has repeatedly pub
Ilshed the grossest llbcls, and the attempt 10
force such men and such paper upon
Senate tb whom they were SO justly oh.
noxlUus, was unJnsliiuJie, and not to be en-
.Gusrd.
kng, thcrcupon, took it upon himself 10
DC the champion ot these paid l6eI.ers and
painpcrcd tools of corruption, and even went
90 tar as TO shy they were Of as high stand
tlng aud as gnud character as Mr.. Clay INN.
sell lie declared, IN language very uppro.
brIons and Insulting, his entire conviction
/, HAT the public and pr vate character uf Mr..
Blair, Of the Globe, stood as high IN every
respect. as that of Mr.. Clay, the Senator
from Kentucky. Tins crew forth reply
from Mr.. Clay, IN which he mentioned some
cases of gross attacks and false charges
against him, that had appeared in the GloDe,
closing hls speech by saying that the re-.
marks Vi the Senator from Alabama were
false, unjust. and cowardly." Mr.. King
rose aud sdld he had nothing TO reply, sal
down, and Immediately wrote a note, walked
around to Senator Linn, Of Missouri, aud
beckOned him out of the Senate Chamber.
! The Senate adjourned shortly afterwards,
when Mr.. Linn, put paper into the hands
of Mr.. Clay, who looked at il, aud handed i,
To Mr.. Archer, the new Senator from Vir.
gina. The language and manner Of Mr..
/ King were most provoking aud Insulting
but we regret that Mr.. Clay. noticed him as
he did.
In addition 10 this. we learn that King was
afterwards arrested by tho Marshal of The
Dislllct, for sending challenge to the Hon.
| Henry Clay, aud Is held over to keep the
peace IN bonds of $1,000 by Mr. Buchanan.
MI Clay has also been bound by the Mar.
shal 10 Keep The peace, aud has given ns
sniHncc that nc will not leave the District.
| There IS no reason, therefore. io uppreliend
any further difficulties from the affnir, and
we cannot but hope that Mr. Clay will have
too high an estimation of what he owes Ia
his own character, ~ the moral sentiments oi
the country. md to his ngo, 10 pot his life OF
