Mr.. Ppnnyhacker then rose and offered an
amendment, but as twas not in order, with
drew it. ..-
The Senate then proceeded to the considera-
ton Of the amendment which had just ben
adopted in committee Of the whole.
+ Mr.. Allenthen addressed the Senate in op-
position to the resolutions upon which the
tSenate was lhsn called upon to vote. He OBJ
|served thatathe Senate was lodging The re-
sponsibiity Of meeting the question fairly and
openy-that the passage Of these resolutions
would place the President imam unpleasant
posiiion-that the action Of the Senate was
interfering with the acknowledged and Ipgiti-
mate duties Of the execulIve-and that their
final adoption would be an act of humiliation
on the part OF the American Senate, in which
he could not join.
Mr.. Crittenden replied in the most excited
manner. He seemed TO think that the Sena-
tor from Ohio, (Mr. AIIen) had made per-
sonaI attack upon him.
Mr.. Allen rtjoined in calm, digni6ed and
statesman.like manner.
Mr.. Crit,enden again rose very much excl
ted, and literally and personally abused Mr..
Allen. We have had occasion to notice the
unidentified conduct Of Senators before, during
the present session, but the language and style
Of Mr.. Critenden coarse and vulgar be.
yond any thing which we have seen during
the present session. When MIR. Crttenden
had gotten. through,
Mr.. Allen. l.
Mr.. Crittenden. see the gentleman de-
sires 10 rise.
Mr. Allen. Has he understood me as hav-
ing made an attack upon him with view TO
do him INJURY!
MIR. Crittenden. said the remarks were
Of character offensive to all who had voted.
What his intention was it is for him TO ex-
plain. The act spoke for itself.
Mr.. Allen. To what remarks does the gen.
tleman aIiude!
Mr.. Crttenden. have repeated them sew
eral times. -.
Mr.. Allen. Was there any remark person.
ally of,nsive to you or any ore!
Mr.. C,ittenden. Yes.
Mr.. Allen. Not single remark which I
made could be construed as being personally
offensive 10 any one no reference to the indi-
vidnal course of any member of the body and
