North Bank of Kentucky, thereby cancelling the
mortgage which he had given his estate to Sc
cure money which he borrowed to pay ain endorse
mcnt.
1.Mr. Clay went to the Bank to pay the interest
on the debt and 10 per cent. The Cashier handed

Chair, and said the resolution was laid on the TIA

Mr.. Hannegan observed that there was no mo-
ton made on the subject, before the recess, that he
was aware of.
Mr. Benton said the Senator from Arkansas
would know for he was in condition to know
= What he was about! As he said this, he looked
daggers at Mr.. Hannegan.
The latter promptly rctortcd, that the Senator
from Missouri had been IN condition all day not
sto know what he was about! He believed the de-
cfalation of General Jackson was true when he
said the Senator from Missouri was--
Here order was cried all round the chamber, and
the Vice President requested that order should be
observed.
Mr.. johnson of Maryland rose to point of or
der, as TO whether Mr.. flanagan was cut Of ORDER
but withdrow,it-
Whereupon Mr.. Benton renewed it, and insisted
that Mr.. Hannegan should write down the whole
sentence that he had commenced altering!
Mr.. flanagan complied, and the paper was hand

said he believed Gen. Jackson was right when he
said the Senator from Missouri was very much in
,j1sed by the bursting of the gun board the
Princeton which knocked his brains out
This SGT the Senate into high state OF merri-
lri.ent.-Ihe whole affair ludcrous enough.
Mr.. Johnson of Md. took Mr.. Benton to task for
trifllng with the time of the Senate with these I'M
important matters. Mr.. Benton replied, and accus-
ed Mr. Johnson of occupying the time by making
speeches Old Bullion game to the last
MIR. Archer read him a moral ecture-and to
this Mr.. Benton also replied with much tartness
Mr.. Archer rejoined, and said he was responsible
for what he uttered either there or elsewhere.
Mr.. Simmons made some kind observations to
'heal the asperitics of Senators, and hoped that
peace, harmony and charity would prevail.
Mr. Niles made capital speech. He was OPP
posed to the project of employing Reporter in the
way proposed. 1t might look like meal, but he
