PERSONAL.
Mr.. BENTON. | wish to ask the attention OF the
Senate to circumstance so unusual TO me- that believe
it the first time have found occasion to make such
appeal to the Senate during the thirty years that have
been member Of this body. was not in my seat on
Thursday last when the debate took place, which
referred to by the senator from Alabama in his
seat, Mr.. CLEMENS. | have seen in the papers what
appears to be revised report OF what was SAID upon that
occasion, which will read TO the Senate:
"Mr. CLEMENS The motion of the senator from Mis-
soari, tMr BEsrosl and the first of the OF esou
tons esented long since by the from Ken
tncky, tMr CLAY are IN substance the same shall con-
slider aud treat them Identical They be
garded by the IRON Kentucky himself, though his
speech az one time celtnly LEFT different impression

that however, as may there Is now entire concord OF
opinion and action between himself and the from
Missouri concord which is by means the least sig
nlfcant Of the PoIten's by which we are surrounded

will skip the debate from this point until you come TO
alr. CLAYs reply:
the arguments Of the eloquent from Aaba.a Mr.
CLEMEsla senator who, am Ia hopes, will add honor

two three observations OF that which demanded

Now, Mr. President, with all the decorum that is due
10 this BODY
Mr.. CLEMENS, Gnterposing) II the senator from
Missouri will allow interrupt him, he has assumed
what is not fact. He has assumed that what he has
read is corrected report OF what said never
was published II | had done So | think should prob
ably have expressed the idea, but in different Ian
guage, certainly could not have said that "berefore
the South in danger" but could have explained
mat that combination between the senator from Mis-
sour and the from Keniu tky made il almost
tam that California would be admitted, which regarded
asa great danger to the South. With that explanation,
am reaoy TO hear almost anything which the senator
rom Missouri may have to say.
MIR. BENTON. am greatly rejoiced that the senator
has relieved from the necessity OF saying what was
portion OF The report OF his remarks which especially
referred is sufficient that understand him say that
ne considered the combination between the from
kentucky and myself by which we could bring in
California and that he should consider the admission OF
California as rnenacng danger to the South believe
hat takes away the necessity OF my saying anything
urtheI Happy TO have an opportunity to catch al any.
