THO president al the Senate Nc,
Ming IT Alabama, then directed
that tho roll should b. called, The
yeas were -, the nays ~, The
nresiling officer then announced
that the vxpuhging resolutions had
passed. Then "Oll Bulliun" arose
aud with an air uf great triumph
and maicsly-nnd hc know how Ia
assume an air--raid that lao moved
that the net 1T tho Senate Just pass
cd should loo executed forthwith,
Tho motion carried, the original
manuscript journal al the Senate OF
1874 WAS produced aud the condem'
natory Tcntcnce of March 18th, 1851
had written across ils face Ia large
legibio snd strong letters these
words: "Expangod by order of III,
Senate this 10th day Of March
lSIT." Instantly upon this con
summation the crowd in the CALLER
} les, which WAS composed for th'
; most part of the friends oflhc Bank
and tho enemies of jackson, com
menced to hiss, groan and vocifcr
alto in the most noisy andturbulcn'
manner. Tho presiding officer gave
the order to clear the galleries
= Benton stood up again aud opposed
the order, saying "No, let the scr
gcant.at.arms siczo the ruilisns anC
bring them to the bar of tho Senate
for punishment, Hero is one just
above mo that may easily be- iden
; titled seize them, the raIiians-thC
Bank rutlians !"
Perhaps no more impressive scene
has ever transpircd in tho Senate
of the United States, and IL was ro'
m arkablo rs the culmination ant
result OF that cver-mcmorabIe con
test for the mastery between Presi
dent Jackson and that powerful
corrupt and corrupting moncyet
corporation, the Bank ofthc United
States. Jackson was extremely
gratified at the result, and gave
grand banquet to the cXpunger'
and their wives. And it may fairly
be said that it WAS the GROWING
glory of his civil and political, At
the battle of New Orleans had been
of his military life; and doubtless
tho old hero felt fully as much ella
ted whom his enemy and the enc
my of tho people, tho Bank, lay
PROSTATE and throttlcd at his feet
as he did when no had given tho
British Lion that terrible drubbing
at New Orleans.
Those were tho good old days o.
our government; days when such
things MS State rights were in cX
istcnce and respected when repub
lican simplicity characterized the
nation; when thcre was no bond
holding cXclusivcncss, no rcpreson
tations of turnkey aristocracy, ne
federal interference in State cleo
tons, no ruling Of the country n
tho point Of the bayonct! Goo
grant that ere long we may have
return to them And no doubt
the great hero of the Hermitage
looking down from his bealitic res
above, earnestly desires that We
