SEN ATE

Cn motion of Mr.. Gvn the consilcrat on
Of private bl Is was suspended for one hour.
Mr.. khett spoke at some length in reply to
the remarks made III reference to himself by
Messrs Cass aud Clemens He was particu-
Iary severe Oh the latter, who, he said. had
charged HIM with being guilty of knarery and
treason. Mr. khet SAID that Clemens stood
in no such high moral or political position AS to
lmpeach any man. He said that the Senator
from Alabama two years ago, lntmatcd that
those who supported the compromise were
traitors to the South, that they would sell their
souls to SItan, and betray their Saviour for
half the money that Judas got.
Mr.. Rhett spoke for upwards Of two hours
adducng great variety of testimony to prove
several charges against Clemens. In the course
OF his remarks he charged Clemens with in.
trgung for Wing votes, by which he gained
his election he read note which he sad was
sent to a Wing caucus, in Clemens hand-wrlt-
Ing. pledgng himself to support Gen. Taylor's
administration. Mr.. Rhet concluded his en-
citing speech without abiding to Cass, appar-
entity forgetting him.
Mr.. Clemens commenced his reply in the
most scathlng terms he took exceptions to
Rhet's manner in advertising to the public OF
this intended assault, and notifying him through
third person. He SAID that Rhett mani ested
in his remarks ignorance of the history Of the
compromise, and ignorance of his Clemens
position: he had drawn false deductions. e. =.
and the course pursued by he Senator justified
him IN adding to the eplthets OF knave and trai-
tor. that OF coward.
The Chair and several Senators called Mr..
Clemens to order
Mr.. Clemens IN continuance, called Nessrs
Sumner. Hale, and Rhett co>cOnSpirators. and
called upon the latter to testify III his favor.
MIR. ChlSe enqnlred upon what grounds he
called hIm cO-consplratOr.
Mr.. Clemens sand he would answer one at
once lie said that he had never sought Rhett'r
acquaintance, ami had refused an introduction
to hun when h first came toWashnLton, which
he suppose accounts for his abusive COURSE
He pronounced the note pledgng his support
to Gen. Taylor a foul caumny, dead car.
case, and an unmltigated lie. He then con
sented 10 an adjournment. with the understand
ing that he Is % resume tomorrow.
The galleries were thronpcd and the deep

We revert again to this instrument. 70

3as they would have 1t appear, upon thu

which it contains; but upon mere, party
grounds, and but for the loss which ]
would occasion the democrats in the pres
idential contest, they would come ont ant
combat openly upon party grounds. The!
would say it is Wing document and W.
must defeat it if such is possible. They
cannot but acknowledge the superiority o.
the proposed constitution over tile presen'
one. Then why oppose it, the very ars'
cles Which have been penned against thi'
basis Of representation are taken hold Of a
