Ii is altogether grave affair, and entirely in
the motion q the Senator from Wisconsin and his suggestion
the proprety of investigating this affair 80 much for
action.
Mr. BENTON have just word for the Senator from
New FORK, which should throw in here. When saw that
the Senator called order, it sruk me that he desired TO

deem this due myself from the nature of the
suggestions threw when was up before. This thing
cannot be hed. We cannot like the ostrich, imagine
that by shutting eyes concealed from the whole
world. The galleries filled with spectators; every body
saw what anspited and the of this transaction is
already travelling with lightning speed the telegraph
wires the remotest borders of the republic. And we
expect conceal the fc that have been used
and exhibited within the American Senate It Is idle

acy what took place, hat made the suggestion, which
happy seconded by the Senators from Wisconsin
and North Carolina.

breaches OF the peace Of the rules Of ORDER and
shall If have difficulties of this character SETTLE shall
certainly seek another place to settle them.
