attentivcIy listened to by all. The Sen
utors, including Mr.. Clay, were present.
Intense interest was manifested by all.
At some passages, The Locos could not
ref ain from naniiesting, by smiles and
whispers, their appreciation. But for the
Wings there was also much co,Rlort IN
The messago,-if they would only take

and had observed those gentlemen in
conversation Of a very exciting character)
saw Mr. w. raise his hand violently, and
aim blow at the face Of MIR. 5. who as
msl ntaneously met or returned it. n
violent fight followed, and in less time
than it can be described in this report, q
scene Of Mingled uproar and fight, such
as the reporter in many years experience
had never witnessed on the floor Of the

Stanley were lost to the sight Of the re-
porter, while Mr.. Arnold of Tenncs cssee
and Mr.. Butler Of Kentucky were no

now reached point at which it seemed
impossible to arrest its progress. The

der-an excitement which he could not
repress. The House bad witnessed
what had passed between the gentlemen
from Moth Carolina Mr.. Stanley and
