In the United States Senate, Mr.. Rhe.t, Of S. G,
replied to the charges preferred against him BY
Messrs. Cass and Clemens. He was particularly
upon the latter gentleman, and quot cd from
many Of his speeches, to prove that he (Mr CO.
was one of the most vacillating and inconsistent
politicians OF the day. Mr.. Clemens responded

Quite . warm debate took place in the State
Senate, yesterday, upon the question Of holding
executive sessions with open doors The democrats
strongly favor this principle, and it is said that
