Yet Mr.. Clay was at times dicfaforial
and imlpcrioas toward his best friends.
and in all his political victories it may be
truly sail he never 'stooped to conquer. +"
Occasionally he used very severe Language
in debate, but have heard him say that
he was newer formally called to order by
a presiding officer but once-during the
compromise debate of 1850. Mr.. Benton
to letter As having been read
by MIR. Cay and adopted by him, and
it as an Infamous calumny. The
Vice-President exclaimed, "The Senator
is not in ORDER "Ahw said Mr.. Benton,
"every one is in order but me--but am
not in order to defend myself. He must
be careful how he produces such testimo.
ny about me-" Again did the Vice. Pres
ident exclaim, "rhe Senator is not in Or
der"
Mr.. Clay rose and said, with studied
calmness: ~ shall only say that repel
with scorn and Indignation the imputa-
ton that l am the author of that letter.
l hurl it back to him, that he may put it
in his casket Of calumnies, where he has
many other things Of the same Sort"
1.-THE Senator is not in ORDER" again
exclaimed the presiding officer. Benton,
shaking his fist toward Mr.. Clay. shouted:
''You hurl it back, but l got it on you
first"
The Vice President raped sharply
on his desk, saying, "Ordcr must be re-
stored in the hail." and Mr.. Webster's
voice was heard above the hum of whis-
pered establishment, remarking in his
deep, sepulchral tones: II have only
risen to say that I am exceedingly panied
that such occurrences should take place
in the Senate"
Ten years before this Mr.. Clay should
have been called to order by the then
President pro tenn. of the Senate, for an
uncalled-for attack upon Rufus Choate,
who had taken the seat vacated by Daniel
Webster when he had entered Harrison's
Cabinet. Mr.. Clay was very angry with
MIR. Webster tor remaining in the State
Department under John Tyler, and when
Mr.. Choate advocated what was called the
Rives amendment tn the bill establishing
a "Fiscal Bank Of the United States" the
author of that measure thought that Web
ster had prompted his successor to oppose
it.
Mr.. Webster had undoubtedly informed
Mr.. Choatc that unless the amendment
was adopted the President would veto the
bill, but when Mr.. Clay demanded upon
what authority the statement was made,
Mr.. Choate declined to give it. A sharp
skirmish debate ensued, in which Mr..
Clay undertook to push Mr.. Choate to the
wall, and at last interrupted him in the
middle of sentence, saying: "That is
not the thing. Did you not say that you
could not, without breach of privilege,
disclose your authority" Sir" replied
Mr.. Choaie, with great dignity, 81 insist
on my right to explain what did say in
my own words" ''But l want AN answer
to my question: persistently asked Mr..
Clay. The gentleman must take the
answer, retorted Mr.. Choztc, las choose
TO give il to him" Here mutual friends
and the neat day Mr.. Clay
