Call yon this (said Mr Al,) the justice of the Senate of the U mted Statt s? Is it in this manner that citi zens are to bo treated? It appears to roe a most extraordinary proceeding. Mr Sevier moved an adjoarnment but! the motion tlid not prevail. Mr Robinson, near whose seat the person apprehended then stood, proposed that the individual have an opportunity to purge himself by loath. from the contempt. The Senate were not to presume him guilty, & if he was willing to swear be intended no con-j tempt, he ought to have an opportunity todb so-- . 1 ' : '-fi-iifi!f:.!

States, and to require them thus sud denly to be put upon oath in his defence was wrong. He concluded by moving an adjourn ment. Tne yeas and nays were demanded and ordered bu t he motion to adjourn. Mr Strange thought that if the individual was willing now to be .sworn., and to under go interrogatories, he was certainly the best jtidge of; his own rights, die best knew what he could undergo, and there was no need that Senators should become his advo cates. Mr Benton said that if the man wished to purge himself on oath, now, here, in the, presence' of the Senate, it was very well. Let him do so. But if he wantfd to go a way and consult a lawyer, if he (mist ask a lawyer tci-morrow before he could tell wheth er he meant to insult the Senate to night, be was opposed to it.

The Cbair stated to Mr Morns that the individual in custody was not brought up without a charge, as that Senator seemed lo intimate! He was charged with disorderly conductin the presence of the Senate, and the law gave the Seriate, s it gave a court of j.istice, power to protect 'itself in alhsuch cases byja summary ptoceetng, and on the evidence of its own senses: r Mr Robinson again said thitthe individu al in custody wished 1or so .opportunity of purging himself from thWciiteraptl Simej confusion ' prevaikjd But the mo tion for his didchatgg-being pressed, : the question .was put, and decide as follows: Yeas M rest s.
