Thisfiwscd asform like unto nullification or Helpers impending crisis. Jackson was denounced as a usurper, despot, tyrant aud destroyer of the nations' felicity and prosperity. On the 2tth day of December, 1833, Mr. Clay offered the following resolution : 'Rcolvedx That, by dismissing the late Secretary of the Treasury, because he would not, contrary to his own sense of duty,' remove the money of the United States in depos it with the Bank of the United States and its branches, iu conformity with the President's opinion, and by ap pointing his successor to effect such removal, which has been done, the President has asumed the exercise of a power over the Treasury of the Uuited States, not granted him by the Constitution and laws, and dan gerous to the liberties of the people." As soon it was adopted, Benton gave notice that he would move to ex punge it. ' Year after year the resolution to expunge was discussed by Benton and the friends of Jackson. On Sat urday, the 14th oi Januarj-, . 1837, it was determined by the Democrats to pass the long pending expungV res olution. ' The secret . history is that Benton and Lynn, of Missouri, Wright of New York, and other .Democratic Senators met at Bouluuger's' restau rant in the. evening aud adjourned at midnight; they ordered hams, tur keys, rounds of beef, pickles, wines, whisky and hot cMTe, to a comrnit-tee-ryom near the Senmle chamber, at r4 o'clock mi Monday. - The motion was made to take .up te - expunging- resolution-it hall been determined at the shipper at the restaurant that the 5cuate should not rfdjourn until the resolution was passed. - S mi Preon, of Sooth Carolina, "iircl and den Jersey, V bite and maintained the figut Ionday until "'rf1,1 dlchandelier waslik whe-n tlm Member from the eL rrom llimore, citizens JronUu District of Columbia crowded theoV biesarrfl galleries; me "T for delicate nerve?. nUcTianan.

The passage of the resolution wa announced from the chair. Mr. Ben ton rose, and said that nothing now remained but to execute the order of the Senate ; which hemoved be done forthwith. It was ordered according ly. The Secretary thereupon pro duced the original manuscript jour nal of thc Senate, and- opening at the page which contained the condemna tory sentence of March 28th, 1834, proceeded in open Senate, and t draw a square of broad black line? around the sentence, and' to writ across its face in strong letters thest words : "Expunged by order of the j Senate, this 16th day of March, 1837." Up to this moment the crowd in the great circular gallery, looking down upon the Senate, though Vgullen and menacing in their loiks, had made no manifestation of eelirrg;Und it was doubtless not the intention of Mr. Webster to excitfe that manifes tation when he referred tojLhir num bers, and expressed hiis ignorance of the feeling witK which tey would see the deed done which he so much deprecated. Doublesal no one intend ed to excite that crowd, mainly com posed, as of usual sjincaw the bank question began, of friends of that in stitution ; but its appearance became such that ScnatbrLinq, colleague of Senator Bentap, Mr. Geo. W. Jones, since seuatorfrom Iowa, and others sent out aiuf brorg'atl in arms ;- other friendjbgathered about him ; among themOlrs. Benton, who, remember- Led what had happened io ven. iaciv- sou, and knowing that, after him, her husband was most obnoxious to the bank party, had hel- anxVty suffi ciently excited to wisli to be near him in this concluding 'scene, of a seven years' contest with j that, moneyed power. Things were in this state when the Secretary of the Senate be gan to perform' the expunging prpcets 6n the mautiscript jqiirnal.; Iostant- ciferations arose from the left wing of the circular gallery oyer the head of Senator Benton, j The presiding nfflc'pr nromntlv gave the order, which the rules pre bribes in such cases, to 'clear the gaUery. Air. Ben ton opposed the order, saying : "I hope the galleries wiJl not be cleared, as many inftdcent persons will be excluded, who have been guil ty of no violation of order. Let the ruffians who have njade the disturb ance alone be punished : let them be aporehended. I hope the sergeant at -arras will be directed ,to enter the gallery, and seize the ruffian ascer taining who they are in the best way he can. Let him seize thebank ;ruf fians. I hope that they will not 'ow be suffered to insult the ' Senate, as they did when it was under the pow er of ihe Bank of the; United ' States, wheu'reffian.8, with armsipou them, insnltritbus with impunity. Let them be taken and biought to the baf of ihe Senate. Here is one just above me that mav be easily identified the bank ruffians!" j I ) Mr. Benton knew that he yjas the object of this outrage, and the way to treat these subaltern weiples was to defy and seize them, and have them drn.cro'ed as criminals to the bar of the Senates They were congregated immediately over his 'head, and had on.- ; evidently collected into that pi His motion was acreed .to. der to clear the galleries vaS revoked; the order to stize the- "disturbers was given, and incdiajfy executed by the energetic! sergeant-at-arnis. Air. John Shack fold, andj his assistants The 'ring leader was seized and brought to t lie bar. This sudden ex ample intimidated the rest; and the expunging process was performed in quiet. The whole scene ' was impres sive ; but no part of it so much so as to see the great leaders, who for sev e i long years had warred upon Gen. Jackson, and a thousand times pro nounced him ruined, each rising in his place, with pain and reluctance, to confess themselves: vanquished to admit his power, and their weak ness nd to ' exhale 'their griefs in unavailing reproaches, and impotent deprecations. It was;a tribute to his invincibility 'which least into the shade all the eulogiuras of his friends. The gratification ef General Jackson was extreme.
