HALE ON THE RACK.

Even the official report. in the Globe. conveys ut
adequate idea of the blasting, whitening, crushing
and consuming uvective which Mr.. Clay discharged
| upon the notorious Hale, in recent debate in the
Senate. The singing emphasis Of tone, tho scu.nfu
shake Of the finger the intense fury Of the eye, the
contemp,uous and Indignant manner, are all wanting
in the verbal picture Of the scene It's universally
conceded that no such burst of deuuncatou has beef
heard in the Seuae since the days OF John Randolph
For moment blush was seen even on Hale brnzer
brow; aud his hitherto nvincibe impudence qua!!ed
before the staggering blows Of his merciess antago
mist. The rhinoceros hide Of the beasty aboltionis
quivered under the lash.
