MIR RIyss regretted that any disturbance had taken
place. lie doubted not but the Senator thought he
heard it, but must say, In all sincerity he DID mol
hear the hiss. AT all events, It was 50 slight aud oi
short duration, that the majority OF the Senate
scarcely heard H. He hoped that proceedings Of
this kind would take place. ADD that this msniiesta-
ton of disturbance, when deep an interest was
felt and which was SO Immediately quoted, would be
passed over The general opinion Of the Senators
round him was, that the honorable Senator was mis-
taken.
Mr. BENTON. | am not mistaken am not.
MIR. RiyEs. He hoped they would pass il by, as
one Of those little ebullitons Of excitement which
were unavoidable, and which was not offered to in
suit this body the President Of the United States.
Mr. BENTON heard the Kisses, and heard them dis
tincty; if a doubt raised on il, he would bring
the matter to question of fact "tue or not true"
No man should doubt whether he heard them or not.
He came here this day prepared 10 the american
President insulted by Bank bulliss and he told his
iiends that il had been done, aud that they never
could proceed 10 action on Bank, when the Ameri-
can Senate would not be insulted, either by Kissing
side, or clapping on the other lie told them,
If il was done, the .4Derican President
shouldbs insuiied tbs day by Bank ruiians, just

doubted, he would appeal to Senators near him.

now.] National Bank, Continued Mr. b. is not,
as yet our master, and shall not be; and he would
undertake TO vndicae the honor of the Senate from
the outrages perperated it by the myrmidons OF
National Bark. Were the slaves of National
Bank to have the privilege Of insulting the Senate,
Just often vote passed contrary TO their wishes
II was audacity that must be checked--and checked
before they went with in their hands to fire on
those who gave votes contrary to their wishes or
sassnate them on their way home He put the whole
at defance--the entire Bank, and its myrmidons.
Mr.. PREsToN said il any thing had occurred in the
gallery out of ORDER it should be strictly inquired
into and punished He himself did not hear the mani
festatons of disapprObaton, alluded to by the Sena-
tors the other side; but it was sufficient for him
that the Senators heard it, supposed they heard it.
Mr.. BENTON. We did not suppose we heard il; we
knew it,
Mr. ALLEN made some appropriate remarks, and
concluded by stating that he understood the offender
in custody, and expressed his sorrow for having
done what he was not at the time aware was an Of
fence as, therefore, all the ends had been accom-
plished which his friend had in view when he re-
fused to withdraw his motion, he hoped he would
withdraw it,

the officers of the Senate Mr. Beae] that of tie
persons who made the disorder in the gallery had
been seized by him, and was now in custody, ard in
the room of the Sergeant-atArms. This the officers
| had very properly done of their own motion, and
without waiting for the Senate's order. They lad
done their duty, and his motion had thus been exc
cuted. His motion to seize the disorderly, and
bring them to the bar of the Senate. One had been

expressed his sorrow for what he had done, and said
he had acted without i'll design, and from no feelings
of contempt to the President Senate. Uneer
these circumstances, all accomplished that lis

pentant. This is sufficient. Let him be discharged
! and there is an end of the affair His motion now
was that the President direct him TO be discharged
Mr.. b. said he had acted from reflection, and ,o'
from impulse, in this whole affair He erpeciedtht
President to be insuiied it was incident to the egsa-
ton on National Bank charters. When they were on
the carpet, the Senate the President, and thu Amer
can people must all be insulted il the Bank myrmi-
dons are disappointed. lie told his family before he
left home, that the Senate and the Presiden,

and that he would not let il pass-that it wo,ld be
an insult not merely to the President and Senae, but

Of il, he would defend the President from personal
outrage and indignty. As TO the numerous and re-
spectacle auditory now present, his motion did not
reach them. He had not moved to clear the gale
