A recent number or the btv .Louis iv

letter is drawn out by a recently jmbUsh-
ianlhisinn hv M r: Renton; to the vote
vhich 5frTScott gave in 1825 forHr. Ad
ams, in alleged violation of the instructions
of" the Legislature. r The communication
M quite longhand we can only state the
substance of it Mr. Scott writes that Ben
ton weht to Missouri in 1625, and excited
a? good deal of sympathy by accounts of
the brutal mariner in which he 'had been
treated by Geh. Jackson 'and 'his friends.
Throughout the ' Presidential canvass he
was vury wowuij.ju.uw ouuuun

c than any other man' in the Union.
"Vhen however, it Avas ascertained that
Mr.: Clay's name would not be returned to
ttje IIonse.Mr. Benton began to labor first
inj. behalf of Mr. Crawford and then of
Gen. Jackson. The Legislature of Mis
scjuri repeated ly refused to instruct Mr.
Slott her Representative, as to the vote hv
should give : and Mr; Benton then urged
hini very 'strongly to vote for Jackson.
Ivtr. Scott replied that personally he was
fjfiendly to him, but he had made up his
rriind that Mr. Adarns was far better qual
ified for the station, and that the interests
o!f the country would be promoted 4ly his
ejection. 1 Ho also referred Mr. Benton to
tlici declarations which he had himself re
peatedly made concerning the unfitness of
Gen. Jackson for the station. ' JWe copy
tho following fronvthis portion of Mr.
Sotts statement :
ff He (Benjon) remonstrate with me,
saying Adalns was cold and ungrateful,
but that if I wpuld give the vote of the
Sjtate for Jackson, and he shouldjbe elect
ed, he, would, 'r ranevwer tHe act ; that he
(Jackson) never forsook a friend, or for
gflve an enemy ; and if I gave the vote to
Adams, we .(meaning himself and me)
Would be playing into the hands of the
Ilitl Faction inJSlissouri, Bates and Geyer,
&c, and thatrthey would then be the lea
ding and patronized men in the State, and
that we, who had now the ascendancy,
would be thrown in the back ground and
many other reasons I will not take the
time to state. I then replied to him, 'Sir,
ypi expect me to vote lor Jackson i All
rrjyf feelings and opinions of him I- have
derived from you ; you have told me often
tliat he had no talents, no capacity, and
especially for civil rule; that he was a
bblly, a blackguard, and a murderer; that
Mp 't always kept a gang of rowdies a
r,6und him, to enforce his will, and that if
np was electea rresident, we should have

he could expect me to cast the vote of the

and-as it is probable, thit myiiame, being in nomination

have formed an obstacle to its organization, I feel it du
to the public, and to myself, that this difficulty, f i really

Mr. Elliott said, that participating in tho de
sire expressed by his friend from Orange,; and
knowing it to be the; wishof his political friendl
in that body, to make every efibrt at conciliation,
he would withdraw the name of Mr. Waddell.
Fully believing however; he had associated with

The Senate met at 11 o'clock, and Mr. Cam
eron announced, with great regret, that the
Committee j of Conference had been unable
to agree upon any basis of compromise. He
would move therefore, that the Senate take a
recess of an, hour. Carried. .
TWELVE O'CLOCK.
This hour having arrived, the Senate again
met. Mr. i, Waddell, from the Committee of
Conference!, rose and said, that it was with the
most unfeigned regret ho had tostate, that the
Committee ; had been unable to agree on any
plan of compromise, and he therefore asked that
the Committee IxTdischarged from further action.-
-"-"M 'I'' ' '
The Corrimittco were accordingly discharged. !
Mr. Biggs moved that the Senate again vote
for Speaker, j .
Mr. Elliott withdrew the name, of Mr. Docki
ery, and the Senate proceeded to vote. The
Whig votes Were cast for Col. Joyner, and the
Loco Foco votes for Mr. Wilson -Mr. Joyner
voting for Mr. Dockery, and Mr. Wilson de
clining to vote at all. No election.
The result having been announced, Mr Will'
sort rose and Said that no gentleman felt more
deeply grieved at the present embarrassing poi
sition of the Senate, than he did, and would go
as far as any man to remove it. As an evidence
of this, he had, the day before, addressed a com
munication to his friends, desiring that so far as
he was concerned, they would discard all per
sonal feelings, and make such a sacrifice on the
Altar of our common country as would best
conduce to harmony of action. In his public
life, he was always influenced by considerations
of what was best for the general interest ; and
acting now, on this principle, he begged some
friend to withdrawn his name from nomination.
Mr. Edwards rose to withdraw the name of
his friend, but he could not do so without bear
ing testimony to the honorable course which he
had pursued in the delicate situation in which
he was placed.
Mr.iBiggsj in order that the conduct of the
Senator from Edgecomh might be fully illustra
ted, desired that the communication addressed
by him to his. friends, be read at the Clerk's
table. Thf- letter was accordingly read.
Mr. Edwards now nominated for Speaker,
Mr. Cameron, bf Cumberland, and moved that
the Senate forthwith vote. The Senate voted
with the game result as before Mr. Cameron
not voting, aiid Mr. Joyner voting for Mr. Dock
ery. ' ' - ; f j
iMr. Albright now nominated Mr. Gaither, of
Burke and Yancy. Now, thought we to our
self, we shall have a Speaker. The Locos
have manifested such chagrin that a leader of
the f Western Reserve was not chosen tor Spea
ker of the House of Commonsj they will cer
tainly makfe the amende honorable, and vote for
Gaither.vj j But as in every instance, where Loco
Foco professions have been tested by Loco Fo
co performance, they flew the track. The Se
nate voted with the same result -Mr. Gaither
voting for Mr. Boyden.
Another ; vote, was called for and had, with
precisely the same result. v
Mr. Cameron rose and begged that his name
might be withdrawn. It was accordingly with
drawn by Mr. Edwards. -. . - .
Mr. Biggs now rose and nominated Mr. Ed
wards, of iVarren, and demandbd a. vote. Mr.

ORGANIZATION OF THE SENATE.
( '-'.a. : Friday,' Nov. 22.
It is well known that for the last four days,
this body has been unable to orffanize. owinff toi
thn rtiaA fitnfn nf nlrf Ie lo T.rAc ifrvinrt lvi
the most utler disregard of courtesy, to see ifi
they, could not break down Mr. Foreman who;
was known to be in a feeble state of health. Thcj
WThigs.had determined that on Friday, the Sen-
ate should bo organized.' They had had resis.!
ted the shameful attempts of the Locos, lo make;
one Speaker, whose special business (as we are j
informed) would have been, to an sweri certain!
purposes io the appoinment of Committees, rel-S
alive to the Treasury, on which subject more!
has . been communicated to ushan wej at pre
sent, hink necessary to report. . At present,-wl
congratulate the W'higs, tho true Republicans
of th country, that they have, by their deter-i
minaiion, compelled the Locos to organize the5
Senate. - :,X .. f'. . .1
Oii the meeting of the Senate, after tie Jour
nal as read, General Dockery; (Whip,) well
known as aj man of great firmness of purpose,
and gtron 2 intellect, addressed himself to the
Senators, saying, he thought it due to tlje State,!; Stone, loco.of Wankhn, as Chief Clerk, tk
to the Whigs of the Senate, and tpbjthfparties,j
that!ome steps should be taken tootganizcj
It was known, he remarked, that proposition s
had been submitted to the other side, (th Locos))
Avhici had been rejected it was equsply-wellj
known, that the other side had with a post un-
accommodating spirit, not only refused jito makej
any proposition,, but had also reluscd tjj accept
that jpflered by his, Mr. D's. friends Af ,yetJ
the people outside of these walls hadi no knowl-j
edge'of whathad been done. That knwlegej
they pught to have, and must haveiNjpw, saidj
Mr. p., I intend to do " my duty. My politicalj
friends have all determined this state ojf things;
shallj not continue. No Whig intends o leave;
his duty undone. NoVhig thinks of abandon-!
ing his duty. Now, gentlemen; said Afr. D., it
is understood that one Senator on the oter side,
has expressed his willFngneJfe to adjourii and go
home.. Such an idea has no countenance- ;or
support from this side of the house.
I pow call on the Senators on the other side,
to know whether they intend to make iny pro
position. I wait for your answer gentlemen.
Here Gen.Dockery paused, and the? pale faces
on tlje other side, the disconsolate looks, as Gen.
D. lcioked ropnd the confusion was amusing
not a word was said, and after watting for some
time), GenVpoekery proceeded. Then,I under
stryid from the other side, they hane no proposi
tion to submit they persevere in their deter
mination to accept nothing, to offer nothing
I beg leave now, to submit the proposition Ij
hold! in my hand, which the Clerk read as fol
lows : ' ' ' ' .
. Bi it Hcsolzed, By the Members of the Serjaie, That
for the purpose of organizing this body, tnat Andrew joy
ner be chosen Speaker thereof ; Thomas G. Stone, Prin
cipaliClerk,and Perrin II. Busbee, Clerk Assistant.
I wish, said Gen. Dockery, that thif should j
be taken as a whole. If gentlemen onjk.heth-j
er side object to it, it shall be withdrawn
something elso on this side may be ;ofIered,s
when they will inform us what they arfdispos-j
ed to do. ji
Gien. Dockery's proposition, it will be per
ceived, mves the Whisrs a Speaker, land the
Locos both Principal and Assistant Glojrks, an
enabled the Locos to take all tne otner yincers,
both! Door-keepers, which they did.
When Gen. Dockery had concluded J a slight)
sKetcn Ot whose remarKS we oniy pnsienu to
have! given, Mr. Edwards, of Warren, address
ed tie Senate, remarking, that thcn the time
arrived, he was ready to make any sacrifices,!
as much as the Senators on tho other Siidefnnd
that he objected to the present Resolution, be
cause he thought the Speaker ought fhfst to be
elected-r-that nothing should be said! of the
Clerks we suppose he wanted all, and that
he objected to the precedent which would be
now made he did not wish the Scnators;h(re
after, to have such precedents as their guide.
Gien. Dockery, in his quick and forcible man
ner, asked the Senator from Warren, when the
timel was to arrive 1 'How long are we to wait?
This; is the fifth day of thft Session. The Slen
ator from Warren talks of the proper time !
As to the precedent to which the Senator ob
jects, no precedent can be set, excepl for just
such an extraordinary state ot things as Jnow ex
ist v ith us, and unless the Senator frorp War
ren, pr his friends, will giveTis a better prece
dent, why not take this T.-. Gen. Dockery allud-
! ed again to some other matters which might he!

probably referred to the Senator from pnslow,
and of his situation ye may speak hereafter;)
After some fluttcrinst in the ranks from the!
hint! they had received of investigation, &c,
Mr. JTomlinson then moved to lay the proposi
tion of Gen. Dockery on the table, andl said! her
done, Gen. D. withdrew his proposition ; andj
the same gentleman yho had refused to elect;
they saw the Whigs about to expose their jcori-
ducti knowing they could not Jjreak . down that
true-hearted gallant Whiir, Joux L. Fo&emaxJ
and: when they saw they bad all ibe" spoils

that! the Senate should bo organized.1 i !! y 1
Mr. Tomlinson, alarmed at the hinti of Gen.

exposure, nominated Col. ; Gaither, .Whfgj the

Gentlemen of the Senate : J i i
I am happy! that we have been eaalrpl '

and painful: state of disorganization, andt

by every North Carolinian. 1 "

the respective political parties, (in which
are unfortunately divided) conceding-arpartrf

it is gratifying to see that we have bet

that might have been cast upon it, by renj

Ijcen placed, since Monday. 1 . . ' 1

of embarrassment and sincere regret. - It iit
position I did not seek or aspire to, but as it k
been the pleasure of the Senate fo.impose'tli
responsibility upon me, in order to harm6ni
conflicting interests I feelliound to accent,
shall endeavor to discharge the duties of yo
presiding Officer, with the strictest impartialitt
arid with no other view than to advance he

In conclusion, gentlemen, permit me to hi
