A.vavy, Feb. 97, 1852. ‘There was a most tremendous tempest im both houses bo-day. Inthe Benates motion was made by Mr. Up- am (whig) to gointo executive session. Mr. Bristol dem.) moved toamend the motion by allowing the doors foremain open. This produced s long and exciting de- Bate. The whigs contended that all executive sessions Bhould be heid in seoret, in accordance to all precedent; while the democrats went for open doere, and argued the propriety of discussing the qualifications of all spplicants for office in public, Daring the discussion it was dis- wlosed that on Tuesday, the last exesutive day, the de- ‘moorats had a majority, and a -esolution was offered to re-consider the vote by which Morris was appointed “fealth officer. It was also not denied thatthe nomins- wation of Neleon J Beach, a* canal appraiser, was rejest- 4d bya large vote The warmest discussion of the ses- wion ocourred on this motion, and continued with much warmth, until the hour of adjournment without arriy- Ang at a vote. ld Mr. Otis, (dem.) who is now ill, be able to take hhis seat, there is no doubt but nominations will be de- Dated in open ls In the Assembly, most of the session was consumed in | ‘the most un; entary manner ever witnessed in that orany other deliberative assembly. The difficulty arose wpon @ resolution offered by Mr. Hatfield, (dem ) of West- ‘er, declaring vacant the seat occupied by Mr. Snow, which had been contested by Mr. Smith. It was yester- hes decided that Mr. Smith was not entitled to his seat, and to-day the democrats, finding themamselves in the mejority, with Mr. Monroe and Mr. Van Etten (whigs) with them, they appeared determined to declare seat Yacant. Dr. Snow having voted in his own case several times yesterday, no doubt contributed to the determina- tion to declare the seat vacant. The excitement was Rost intense from the moment the resolution was off sre. The soenes which occurred, and which continued for pome eight hours, were the most tumultueus, disorderly, and disgraceful to the Legislature that ever were known to have been exhibited. There was such comfusion in palling for the “ayes and noes,” the “ previous ques- tion,” “adjournment,” &o., that if a stranger bad entered he would very naturally have supposed bimalf jn a madhouse. Crimiustions and recriminations were thrown by membere ot each other, almost indiscrimimately, aud threats of revolution, breaking up the Logislavure, dis nolving the House, snd so on, were induiged in, with aan and mauner which would have disgracea a « Five Points’ bar-room. c When questions were about to bs taken a large num- ber would uniformly leave the House, ia order that there poight be no quorum. This was practised until six o’olook, when it was ascertained that no business would foe transacted, and thai no vote could be obtained upon Mr Hatfield's resolution.

Wasiunaton, Fi ‘The Senate met at the usual hour. MR. RHETT'S REPLY TO MESSRS. CASS AND CLEMENS, Mr. Gwin, (dem.) of Cals., moved for the postpone- ment of the private calendar for one hour, to enable Mr, Rhett to make his reply to Messrs. Olemens and Cass. Mr. Ruerr, (dem.) of 8. C., said that the reason why he had not replied to the animadversions contained in the speeoh of the Senator of Alabama (Mr. Olemens) de- livered on the 23d of December last, was, that he was not in the eity at the time, and did not know of it till shortly before leaving home, on his return to the capital. For the last fortnight, he had been waiting for the compro- mise resolution to be taken up. He had hoped that when his altercation with ex-Senator Foote was over, that all personal conflicts on the floor of the Senate were atanmend. During his legislative eareer of twenty years, he bad never so demeaned himeelf,as to be involved in any personal controversy. Ie now felt annoyed that here, almost upon crossing the threshold of the Senate, he should be denounced and arraigned, because of his conscientious and consistent support of principle. He must now defend himself and bis position from the charges brought against him, The Senator from Ala- bama, in his speech, uses the following language: — ‘The scone wo witnossed the othor day, during the doliver: by the Senator from South Carolina, (Mr, Khess,) of hi harangve, surpriced no one boro, but is would havs boon a matter of profow jonishmen’ to the country if thoy could have been speo' re ef wnatocourred, Thoro was the Sepator from Msssachu: ete, (Mr Sumner,) the Senator from O) io, (Mr. Chase ) snd the Senator from New Hamp- . 27, 2852. s shire, (M..

How wiil this charge be met? I will dis- oredit the witness upon whose testimony the ellegation is founded Didany one here, on that occasion, hear either of these Senators applaud orcheer him’? Did the Sevator from Masrachusetts applaud bim? Will the honorable Senator eay if be applauded or cheered on that occasion ? 2 Mr. Buen, (free soil) of Mass, said that he osou- ied bis own seat when the honorable Senator from jouth Carolina made his speech ; tha: he listened to him attentively; but, ass lover of the Union, he could not applaud, either in feeling or expression, many of the sentiments of the Senator—on the contrary, he heard much that he strongly disseated from Mr Rurrr asked Mr, Obase tosay whether ho had ap. plauded or cheered. Mr Cnasx, (free soil,) of Ohio. said he listened to the Senator with great attention. He could not believe that he had violated any rules by applauding or cheering; 80 tars the honorable Senator had expressed the State right doctrines of Jefferson and Madison, his speech mot bis hearty spate but that part which denounced the Union, he did not approve, applaud, cheer, er en- courage Mr Ryett said ke would call no more-—every Senator present knew the truth of the matter; they ali kaew that no one bad either applauded or cheered him on that oo- casi netwithstanding which, the 8: bama bad declared, in hi bad dene both. There was but little affinity between Lim end those honorabie Benato: The Senators from New Yerk, Obio, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts, bad ell been heard in Joud, loug, and repeated praise of this Union. He united in no such songs, though the honorable Benator from Alabama did He now p-o- ceeced toshow that the Senator from Alabsma (Mr. Clemens) did not himself stand in sach a position as to arraipn any man for inconsistency or dishonor [de then read to the Benate several pages of matters which, be eaid, he intended to prove against Mr Clemens. When abcut half way through, he said he had left one sheet at home, but would print it with his spsach ] Mr. Ciemens,(dem.) of Alu, insisted upon its being read now. He would reply to the speech of the honor- able fenator at once, and not wait till it was pablished Mr. Ruetr said he would go and get it; and amid much laughter, left for bis hi aa Afcer a short interval, Mr. R returned with the miss. ing paper, which he read. He then read from the speech of Mr. Clemens. delivered on the 27th Decembor, 1849, on certain resolutions introduced by himself, calling for information as to whether the President had sent any agent to California to induce the people to organi: Btste government, and in which he deaounced that Btate government as having been organized for the pur- pose of hofie td the South. He also read from a speech delivered by Mr. Clemens, on the 10th of January, 1800, on the subject of printing the Vermont resolutions, in which he spoke of twociasses of traitors—one, the Northern ianatics, who totally disregarded the consti- tution; and the other class, less te be respected, the timid. hesitating routhern men, who would not march up to the line, and meet the North upon the thresho'd, and there bid her stand-in other words, who would not resiet \ alifornia’s admireion by fighting Mr. Rhett also read from a speech delivered by Mr. (.emens, on the ilth of February, 1860, in whish he foorned, with contempt, the allegation that he was a dis- unioniet; also from the speeoh of the 20th February, in which he declared Mr. Clay's Compromise resolutions we the North sll, and took ali from the South; and oner then submit to such a settlement, advocated dis. union and secession by the South, and claimed that Washington, if living, would do the rame, That on the 8th of May Mr. Clemens attacked the report of the com- mittee of thirteen, who reported on the Compromise, de- claring it was nothing but Mr. Clay’s plan, That on the 16th of May he arraigned Messrs. Focte and Maugum for supporting the Compromise measures—denouncing them as traitors to the South, in supporting what wasa shame: lees outre, rebuken “the best we ean get’ doctrine, apd says it these who would submit tosach degrad- log doctrine were too infamous tolive On the 1éth August he protested against the admission of Ualiforas declared all the States sovereign; denounced those who betrayed the South, as trator: allegiance to any power but Alabama, aad if to defend what Alabama directed was treason, then he was a trai- tor, and gloriea inthe name. Such, said Mr. Rhett, was Senator Clomene in the year 1850 In 1851 he wasa dif- ferent man. The speeches of 1851 were then read. Senator Clemens of °6) was ® different ran from Senator Clemens of ‘50. In ‘50 he declared that those who submitted to the Compromise were traitore, and im 1551 he was one himeelf, Mr. Rhett then ran a parallel between Mr. Clemens’s position in his speeches of 1860, and those made since the passage of the Compromiee measures, malntaining that all the posi- tieps denounced by Mr. C. in 1850, as base, intamous, traitorous or ¢ishonorable. in relationito the Oompromise, ‘were now ocooupied, epproved, and sustained, by that Senator. If these things appear, (and who could doubt it, since be bad shown them all oy the Benator’s own epeeches.) who could bat sy that Ssnator Clemens was a pretty specimen of a witness to stand up in the Sen: and arraign apy one for inconsietency, or calumatats ary one by imputing dishonor and erline? In 1850 the Sepator laid down Lge whish all trae henoreble Southern men stood with honor and dignity— but now, he who laid down the form denounves those who still remain frm upon it, and who are for resisting thir compromire which tae Sepator himself declared a base igocmnious surrender to traitorsand knaves in aformer Bpreeb he (i r. Rhett) had maintained that States alone could be admitted constitutionasily, and ae California was not a State, her admission was claatly uaconstitutional. This the Senator from Alabama had declared to be non- renae, for, with the exception of Texas, Vermont, and Ken- tucky, ail the States had come in as territories —the act of sdmiseion constituting and recognizing them as Btates. Such was the casein Alabams To thishe (Mr. Rhett) now replied, maintaining his original position, that never, till California. wee any territory admitted as a State. He declared the Senator from Alacama ignorant of the his- tory of bis own Sate, Bhe was a State—e sovereign State—before her admission, and her sons wonld not thank the Senator for the degrading position in which he had placed ber. Ie considered the Senator from Ala- beme at bard driven in supporting the admission of Cali- tornin, when he had no resouros but to a false statement of the facts of her condition The Senator from Alabams was so enamored of the compromise, that he had declared he would not vote to repeal the act abclishing the slave trede in the District of Goin That act did not nlone provide for the abolition of the slave trade; it made, asa penalty for its violation, that the slave should be free—thus setting ® precedent that Congress bed power (© provide for the emancipation ef slaves. How truly was the honorable Senator now in the position of thors whem he had denounced in 1850, as traitors to the South! He then referred to Mr. Olemens’ argument that the Fugitive Biave law had been as well executed as any other law, and commented on the proceedings at Chris tiana and Boston, the offenders at which places had all been allowed to go scot free. He replied also to Mr. Clement’ argument agaiaat tue right of secession. against any absolute sovercignty of Btates, and against the dos- trike that trearon could be committed against any power but the United Staten: these positions he op- pored reading from speeches of Mr Clemens and others | i refutation of ther, Hs read also from the oonstitu- tions of reveral States, showing that treason a, Btuter wee defined aod recognized Bouth Usrolina, he feld, provided for treason, and any of her sons who would be traitorous to her, or who would take up arms ‘MORNING EDITION- egeipet ber, would find that the hangman's rope was bis destiny, It was well known by whom the Senator was elected.

He regretted the necessity for the explanation, and returned thanks to the Senate for an opportunity of vindicating himeelf. Mr. Ciewens said that yesterday he had received a note informing bim that the Senator from South Carolina fatended to reply, to-day, to his speeoh of December lest. He was somewhat surprised to hear, also, that that Bonator had advised the‘Senate galleries, repo: , letter writers, and every one else, in order that a goodly num- ber might be there to witness his death at the hands of the honorable Senator. He regretted that the Senator had not given him an opportunity of dying decently. ie could not understand Benator’s apparent igno- Trance uponall ae connected with the passage of the com promi he honorable Senator has at alltimes mai uch complete igaorance upon his (Mr. 0.’s) course, that he must attribute to it, end to his blindness and self conceit upon all matters relating to himself, that total misconstruction of the sp he had commented on. In that speech, the Senator says that ho was called s “traitor and a knave.’’ No other in who reads it would say he was called by ita knave; but the Senator will have it so; and now, if he believed this charge of kuavery was in fact made against him why has he wait- ed for months to concoct and frame a speech upon it? Why has he brooded over it, and let i¢ remain uoan- swered till this time, and now only in this manner? He could not resist the necessity which mow induced him to aad the epithot of coward to those of kaare and traitor. ‘The Onair called the Senator to order, re gas Vowes—He is not out of order; perfectly right. Mr C.emens eaid he would not speek out of order No one who would allow the charge of knaverv to remiin unnoticed for two mosths, and who would take no ether means to repel it than those resorted to by the Se- tor, deserved the name of man Thesenstor claims to have discredited the witness. How? By the eviitence of two of his co. conspirators. In Alabama, the evidence of parties implicated would not be received. Noone who read that speech, would suppose that they had openly and loudly cheered and applauded the Sonator, He meant nosuch thing. It was the attention—the evi- dent satisfaction, with which they had listened to the Senator. The Senator from New Hampshire (Mr Hale,) had left his seat and ocme to the side of the Senator to bearhim. Wher he had concluded they congratulated him, ard shook bands with him. Does he deny that? a a response oould not be heard by the ro- porter Mr C.emens to Mr. Chase.—Do you deny that you shook hands with him ? Mr. Ciiase said that he had, perhaps, done the shaking bands part—but he would thank the Benator from Ala- bama to state upon what authority he called him # cou- spiretor with any one, Mr O.emens said that he would reply but to one ata time. The Senator from Bouth Oarolioa couid not deny that these congratulations and shaking of hands took pluce. There were plenty of witnesses who saw it. All knew the intimate relations between the Senator and those Senators. Ail knew that the abolitionists had de- clared the constitution a “compact with hell,” and yet the Benator received their congratulations upon a speech egainst the government of his own country. Who was dircredited, r the Senator? The Senator, during his controversy ith ex Senator Foote, bad shown his adaptation for private conversations concerning othors. It bad come out during thst discussion, that the Senator had held a private conversation with Mr. Benton, con- cerning Mr. Foote’s course towards Mr. Calhoun, Who, in South Carolina, would suppose that R. Barnewoil Khett had held consultation, behind the pillars of the Bevate chamb-r, upon the means of defending John 0. Galhoun? Though:he Senator was friendly hera with Mevers. Bummer, Chase, and Seward —though he received their oongratalations upon his speeches, yet at home he forgot his personal relations with them, and there denounced them as traitors tothe coustitution. The Senator complained of being calumniated—-it was be- yond the power of man to calum niate the Senator. Did he not get up in the Senate and proslaim himself @ traitor? How could calumny add to this avowal? He bad never called the Senator traitor till he had avowed bimeelf one, and how could it be calumny to style a msn ashe siyled himself? He never had much fancy for the Senatcr. He had declined the usual courtesy of acquaintance and introduction to the Senator. He hed never made himself familiar with the Al social relations of the Senator, and he had no: attacked them They were toe small game. He had read in ons of the Bogiish poets a description of rkness,in which vipers crawl among the multitud: isting but stingless. He knew this ee te the Senator, for though he was cortinually hissing, all were aware he bad no sting Mr. Jones, (whig) of Tennsseee, said the Senator could not get thro to-day, and suggested an adjourn- ment till to-morrow, Mr. C.emens eaid he would reply to one as 4 nor and then would give way. The Senator had charged him with having mad corrupt bargain with whig members of the Alabama Legislsture. for his seat in the Bonat Had the Senator waited but two days longer, he would never have uttered that charge. No men in Ala- bama had ever darea, in his presence, to utter that ge. The South Carolina Senator now retailed the slender, and placed himself in the same, if not worse, po- tition, than the originator of the slander. He (Mr. C.) Pronounced it false and unauthorized, as would be made known by several of those who were in that whig eauous, who decisre.in their names, its falsity. He would now say to the Senator, who was the retailer of the slander, what he would utter if in the presence of the originator of it, and he asked the Senator to mark well his words— that that charge was a foul lie, unmitigated and unre- deemed by the elightest semblance of trath.

Mr Gray, (dem ) of Greene, moved to lay the Kossuth resolutions vpon the table. Xr. Haren, upon this motion, called for the ayes and neys, which were—ayes, 63; nays, 47—(a party division excepting Mr, Monroe and Mr. Van Etten voting in the effirmative.)

Ths Srraxrn decided the motion out of order, on tho ground that the question had been decided by a vote of the Houre. yesterday. Mr. Waren appealed from the decision of the Chair. The freakex did not entertain the appeal, therame matter hed been appealed from the Chair, fustained. and a motion to reconsider the vote on appeul had been lost. which, under the rules, and in accord. ence with univerral parliamentary rules, settled the matter. Mr. Custina heped the Chair would consider weil be- fore he promulgated such a decision. He thought it a strange doctrine thet this House could not decide upon questions of order; and it was an arbitrary prooteding ior the Speaker to refuse to entertain an appeal. Ifthe minority—if minority they were—were to be rode over, _ —— the majority to be assured that they were well rhe The Srreaxer remarked that it was neceseary that all business coming before the House should have a termina- tion, If there could be an appeal upon an appeal, there would be noend toary motion. The House sustained the decision of the Chair yesterday, aud refused to re consider ita vote. Mr Van Bantvoonn, (dem.) of Columbis, said that as this subject interested every member of the House, there should be a free and frank expression of opinion upon it He concluded a very earnest protect against the decision of the Chair, by ssyivgthat it might become necessary to resort to the ultima ratio.

Mr. Usprrwoon wished to sey a few words upon the question, in order to set the House right, He was willing to vote upon all questions coming before the House. He would vcte to sustain the decisions ef the Obair when he wes right; but if wrong. he would vote against hie deoi- sion, even if he were a politicel friend. In this m: be thought the Speaker was right. He took th 6 view with the Speal as to the position of the quertion, that the eubject matter before the House had been voted upon yesterday, and # reconsideration voted down. He wae willing to vote directly upon the resolution of Mr. Batfeld. and for that purpose he took an appeal from the decision of the Chair ruling the appeal out of order, He held that such a motion was legitimate. The Crain etatet that he had deliberately formed his decision, and had as deliberately uttered it He should @rcharge what be conssientiourly deemed to be his daty, regardiers of the threate of the gentleman from Colum- bis. or any other member. toe Van Bantyoonp ditolaimed haying made any reots Mr, Warsu taid that the motion made by the gontle- mon from Onyuga, Mr. Underwood, was the one he had rande some time since, but which was not recognized.
