FROM Tie National IhtetttgenceT'
A passage occurred in the debate N
the Senate on Saturday night last which
the Reporters were too much wearIed TO
report in its order, but which is yet
worthy OF being described.
Al The close OF the debate on the new
Tariff Bill, Mr.. SEVER addressed the
Senate somewhat in the language repor-
led IN the Globe Of The 29th ultimo;
saying, iO substance, "that Captain Ty
Ter had whipped the Wings that they
were conquered-had been defeated in
every thing, and were now about to sur
render to the Captain the only remain
Jog stock (Ihe distribution of the pro
ceeds Of the public lands) Of the great
concerns of whiggery," sc. and he
%taunting'y rendered "his sympathy to
his Wing Iriends--was sorry for them
and offered to give them his certificate
that they voted for the Tariff Bill then
pending very rIuctanlly." &c.
To all this Mr.. Crittenden replied
with spirit and effect. He said among
other things, that it might seem I'M
grateful not to make some acknowledge.
menl to the gentleman for his protfered
sympathies and certificates The tone
and manner of the gentleman sufficient
ly indicated, however, the feeling OF
triumph in which he spoke, and showed
how he gIoried in and secretly appro.
we'd those Presidential Vetoes by which
he supposed the wings TO be overthrow.
The Wings, Mr.. c. said, had just cause
TO suspect that the gentleman and his
political associates were insligators Of
those vetoes, and engaged in some sort
oil alliance with Mr.. Tyler which it was
not thought safe to avow: and the gen
tIeman ought to be a little more cautious
IN mani(esting his sympathies with the
Captain, as he called him, lest it might
become necessary for him to procure
certificates TO prove that he was not
himself a Tyler MN.
The Wings, Mr. e. sad, stood in no
need ofthe sympathy Of The honorable
gentleman 1t WIS indeed true that they
had great and unexpected difficulties
and dlscoUragements to encounter, great
sacrifices 10 make, and great virIuous
resenIments to suppress: but they had
proved themselves equal to every trial,
and superior to all adversafies. When
