DFEATED IX A FIGHT FOR THEt'Otflf
STITCTIOV, JUSTICE AXD TRUTH. -
It seemsncredible to this age that
three such intellectu jjgiants could
be repulsed and driven back, much
less crushel and overwhelmed as
they were when contending for the
right.

ortlered his Treasurer, Mr. Duaue,
to remove the dejoeitd (the money) ;
he refused and he removed Mr. Duane
and male Mr. R. B.Taney, Treas.,
who did obey hU Chief.' 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

Mr. Webster spoke last, and; after
a pause in the debate which seemed
to indicate its conclusion ; and only
rose, and that slowly, as; the question
was about to be put. leaving no per
sonal grief in relation toGen. Jack-
sou like Mf Calhoun and Mr. Clay,
and with a temperament less ardent,
he delivered himself with compara
tive moderation, confining himselt to
a brief protest against the act and
concluding, in measured and- oonsid
fed language, with expressing his
grief aihd mortification at wliat he
was to behold ;' thus : 1
"We have seen, with deep and sin
cere pain, the legislatures of respecta
ble States instructing the Senators of
thoswjtates.to vote for and support
this violation of the journal of the
Senate; and this pain is infinitely in-
I oreased by our ftiilj belief, and entire
conviction, mat. most, u uo aii.inese

Oiiat they have beeti urgently request

to the accomplishment of the intend

else but the influence and power of
the executive branch of this eoyerml

tares of so many of the free States of

it as a ruth'ess -violation of a sacred

The acting president of the Senate.
Mr. King.of Ala., then directed the
roll be called. The yeas and nays had
been previously ordered, and proceed
ed to be called, by . the secretary of
the Senate, Mr. Ajbury Dickens.
Forty-three senators were present,
answering: five absent. The yeas
were: ..'!'.. .
"Messrs. Benton- Brown, Buchan
an, Dana. Ewing of Illinois, Fulton,
Grundy, Hubbard, King of Alabama,
Linn, Morris, Nicholas, Ntiles, Page,
Rives, Robinson, Ruggles, Sevier,
Strange, Tallmadge; Tipton, Walker,
Wall, Wright. .
i "Nays Messrs. Bayard, Black,
Calhoun, Clay, Crittenden, Davis,
Ewing of Ohio, Hendricks, Kent,
Knight, Moore, Prentiss, Preston,
Robbios, Southard, Swift, Toralinson,
Webster, XVhite."
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

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
