An Incidentin the Senate Chamber. A
correspondent of the baltimore Patriot fur
nishes the following interesting description o
an incident which once occurred in the Senate
Chamber:
"WCll do remember the occasion, tel
years ago, IN that same chamber, when Mr.
Clayton defended Mr.. Webster against the
systematic attacks that were then made upon
him, for having declared in debate that rathel
than vote for an unconstitutional appropria-
ton to put the country in state of defence
against an enemy, he would see the enemy
here at the seat Of government battering the
Capitol down over their heads
What said Nh Clayton, his face palIid
and his eyes glstening with patriot fire, what,
sir, 'caS the sediment uttered By my honorable
friend from Massachusett that bad been so
vociterously and unsparinsy denounced upon
this floor and elsewhere IL was. sir, (hoId-
ting up little book containing the consti
tution) that he would stand longer by this
instrument than he would by the Capitol in
which we are assembled THAT rather than
have the constitution Of his country trampled
under foot, he would see this pile of stone
and mortar battered down over our heads !,
Ana where, sir, ask, is the Senator-ay,
ohere rs the traitor who would not adopt that
very sentiment: pause for a reply" He
LOOK DIS seat--the Senate Chamber was as
huShed as death--no one uttered a syllable
Inc eloquent orator arose and went on with
his speech, and then every body presep,
seemed to breathe freer and deeper., II
was the most eloquent moment / ever Wit
