From Hie “ Ami ricen Talc.” HORRORS OF BATTLB '‘The buttle took place on the margin of the Niagara rivet, nn extensive plain which' hud once been covered with firm farms, hut notv forsaken b_v the inhabitants, and desolated try war, it exhibited only a barren waste. The river at that place begins in acquire some of that terrific velocity, with which it ruahen over the awful precipice lltree miles below, crealingone of Hie grandest nVural curiosities ttl existence ; the noise of ihti rntitrart is heard, the column of foam distinctly seen, from the buttle ground. On the other nide, the field is hound by n thick fores’, but the plain itself presents n level, smooth surfneo, unbroken by ravines, nnd without n tree or bush to intercept the view, or an obstacle to impede tho move ments of hostile bodies, nr to afford to either party an udvairinge. From this plain ilia Am erican ciiinp was.eperaled by a small creek. In Ihti full glare of the summer sun on tho mor ning of the fifth of July,the British troops were seen ndvan’-thg towards our camp, across the destin'd field of strife ; their waving plumes^ their scarlet uniform, and gilded ornaments ex hibited n gay and gorgeous appearance. Their martini music, their firm end rapid step, indi cating elastic hopes and high courage. The Americans, inferior in nninhor, were hastily put in motion to nice! the advancing foe. They crossed it omul) rude bridge, the only 'nutlet from thn camp, under n heavy fire of the ene my’s artillery : and moved steadily In the spot ■elected lor the engagement. The scene til this moment was beautiful and imposing. The British line glowing with gold nnd with crim son hues wan stretched across tho plain, flunked bv piece* of'brass ordnnncp, whose rapid discharge spread death over the field, and filled the' air with thunder ; while the clouds of smoke enveloping oach extremity of Ihe line, left the centre only exposed to Hu eye, and extending on to the river on the one hand, and the lores! on the other, filled the whole bat k ground of Ihe landscape. The Americans were advancing in columns. They were new recruits, now led for the first lime into action, and except a few officers, none of that heroic band, had ever before aoen tho ban tier of a foe. Bui they moved steadily to their ground, unbroken bv 'lie galling fire ; nnd pin toon after platoon whe -lud into line w>th the name graceTuf accuracy of movement' which murks (he evolution of the holiday parade, un lit the whole column was deployed into ono extended froul; the officers curefullv dressed Ihe line with technical', skill, and Ihe whole brigade evincing, by its deep silence, and the faithful precision of ils movements, the subor dination of stricf discipline, and the steady firmness (if determined courage. Now the musketry of the'enemy began to rattle, pouring bullelsas thick as hail upon our Tanks. Still Ant a trigger was drawn, not a voice was heard on our side, save the quick peremptory tones ofcoromniid- Gen. Scott rode along this line cheering and restraining his troops ; then 'pass ed firirm flank to flunk to see that all was as he wished, he wheeled his steed into Ihe rear nf Ihe (roups and gave Ihe command to “ fire.” A voice was immediately heard in the British ranks—supposed to be that nf their com mander—exclaiming, “ charge, the Yankees! charge the Buffalo militia I charge! charge! ’’ The American general ordered his men to support arms! ” The British rushed forward with bayonets charged ; but they ’ were struck with amaze ment when they beheld those whom their eel, their arms folded ncross their breasts, ga zing calmly at the hostile ranks advancing fu riously with levelled bnynnels. It wus a re finement ol discipline rarely exhibited, ami here altogether unexpected. Tho Americans elond until the enemy npprTmched within a few paces ; until the foenien could she the lire fll- shtng from each other’s eyes ; and each could reud tho expression of his adversary's face ; then, deliberately ns was Ihe word given, the Americans levelled their pieces and tired—and tho whole-of the enemy’s linn seemed an nihilated ! Many were killed, many wounded, nnd sotno rushing forward with a powerful mo- ineiiluin, fell over their postrntu companion), or were thrn.vn down by the weight of succee ding combatants. In one instant Ihe ground occupied by llint gallant line, wus covered by dying Britons, in another, a second line had advanced to sustain the contest, while the bro ken fragtni’iils <>| the firat were rallied behindi it. 1 ho ••’ buffalo militia” were .now the as sailants, advancing with charged bayonets. I hen it was that the young American chiefs, who led Altai gallant host, displayed the skill nf veterans, add the names of Spoilt Jessup, Leavenworth, M’Neal, and llinman, were given lo their country to adorn the proudest page of its history. Fivo and thirty minutes decided the contest, and the retiring foe was pursued und driven to its fortress. Nono who saw, will forget the terrific beauty of this scone; tho noble appearance of the troops the drcadiul precision pf every movement— tho awful fury of the hatlle—its filial severity —its brief continuance—its triumphant duse. As the victors returned from their pursuit of Ihe retiring enemy, a scene of intense inter est was presented. They traversed the" field which a lew minutes before had sparkled with the proud equipage of war. There had been gitlluni men und gay uniform* and waving bun ners ; and there had been drums and trumpet*, mid the wild notes of the bugle stirring the soul to action. There had peon nodding plumes und beating hearts and eyes that gleam ed with valour and ambition. There loo had been tempestuous chiefs, emulous of fame, dashing their fiery steeds along the hostile ranks ; and there had been all the spirit stir- ring sights and sounds that fill the eye and ear, and the heart of the young Warrior, giving morn thun llto poet’s fire, to the entranced im agination. What a change had a few brief moments produced ! Now the field was strewed with the ghqgtly and disfigured lot ins, with the wounded, with the mutilated, and the dying. The ear was filled with strange, nnd melancholy, and terrific sounds ; the shouts of victory had given place to groans of anguish, the complaint* of the vanquished, the prayer* or the imprecation* of me dying. Here was one who called upon heaven lo protect hi* children ; uuother raved of a bereaved wile ; a third tenderly aspired a beloved name, conse crated only by that lie—while others depreca ted their own suffurmg or pleaded piteously for the pardon of their sins. Here were those who pr tyed urdemly lor death, and some who implored h lew minutes more of life. Com plaints of bodily pain, and confession* of mire pentad crime,burst forth from the souls nf many in henrt rending accents;while somass they ga zed upon tho fast flowing crimson turret!), wus tod the brief remuins of breath in moralizing upon the shortness of life, and man’s . careless prodigality of existence. Many gallant spir its there were nn that ensanguined plain, who prayed silently ; and some who dared not pray nud ynl scorned to murmur. Their com pressed lips bespoke their firmness ; their eye wandered wistfully over ihe bright sceno that was lading before them, nnd they grasped for veti'ly the hands of tltoso who mournfully hade them farewell.

IN SENATE, Frielsff, January 25, 1833. Mr. King, from the Committee on Com merce, reported ’he bill to. explain the 18|!i section of the act to explain and amend tho various ads impusitig duties on imports, with ait amendment. Mr. Tipton presented the joint resolutions of the I-egi-dnlnre of Indiana, tit opposition to Nullification, which were read and laid on the table, and ordered to be printed. Reconsideration—Mr. AVilkins then roae and stated, that lust evening, when some of the amendments proposed in the Public Lands Bill were under consideration, several of lit Senators were absent. Ho was willing thst in reference to oiiCLaf those questions u fuller expression of the sense of the Senate should be taken ; hut he was desirous tlm! Ihe tnolion ho was about lo make should not be roccived ns indienting nnv change of opinion on his pari. He then moved to reconsider the voln of Inst evontng, by which the Senate refused to strike nut the words “ colonization of free pursuits of color.” Sumo conversation took pluce on the point of order, nnd then on the propriety of Ilia mo tion, and ilia question being finally lukon by Yeas and Nays, was decided as follows ; yens IS. nay» 27. ritory of Michigan against ihe measure now tinder cdhsidcrijlon, of adnntiing (hat Terri tory into the Union ; which was ordered to he print.'dt * < " -w *' * Mr. Prentiss pfogented Ihe reaelstionejm*. sed by the-Legirilsturo of Vfcrmnnl, in lavor ul the protoctive System, Internal Improvement, the Bank, ffcc ; which Wero laid on the table und ordered to be prinled. Mr. Hill presented resolutions passed hy the Legislature of New Hampshire, of an op' posito character ; which wore laid oo the In hlo and ordered lo be printed. Constitutional Powers. —Mr. Clayton rose for the purpose of submit ring a resolution for the consideration of the Senito. The gentle man from 8. Carotini near him [Mr. Calhoun] had on Tuesday offered resolutions declarato ry of thn powers of the Government and the Stules, which hod been made thu order of the day for Monday next. To these resolutions tho gentleman trim Tennessee [Mr. Grundy'l had proposed amendments, which were printer and were lo be moved again whenever the ori ginal resolultona should bo considered — These amendments, whilo they declare llto several acts of Congress laying duties on ira porta to he constitutional, and deny thn power of a single Stale to annul them, or any other constitutional law, tacitly yield the whole don- ■rtne nf-'nullification by the implied admission lliui any unconstitutional law muy he -judged of by the .State in the last resort and iiiinulled by llto same authority, lie dt-senlnd from this doctrine—and tl he had rightly consider, ed the proposed amendments, H bocamo his duty lo pluce on record his own sentiments, and that of the Stale he in pari represented, on this most important subject, affirming (he powers of this government, nnd repudiating the whole doctrine contended tor nnd-asserted in the resolutions of th” gentleman from 8, Carolina. Differing on this subject, ait he formerly had in debate hero, front the gentle man from Tennessee, he knew no middle ground on which they could meet, nn point of concession lo which he snould bo willing In go, short nf a full recognition of the true prin ciples of the Constitution, ns asserted in Ihe resnlu'inn he was nlmiil lo offer, lie then su'imiitcd the following resolution, which was rend, sqd laid on the table, and ordered to lie printed for the use of tho Sonnte : Resolved, That the power fo annul the se veral acts of Congress imposing duties on im ports, or any other law of tho United Stales, when assumed by a single Slate, is “ incom patible with tho existence of the Union, con tradicted expressly hy the letter of, the Con stitution, unmihoriznd bv it* spirit, inconsis tent with every principle on winch it was foun ded, and destructive of the great object for which it was formedthat the people of these United Stales aru for the purposes enu merated in iheir Constinitinn (INK PBOPLE AND A SINGLE NATION, having delego- led full powers to their common agents lo pre serve and defend their nalionat interests, fur the purpose of attaining tho great end of all goverumcnt^Aha safety nnd happiness of the governed; that while, tho Constitution does provide for the interest nnd safety of ell ihe Slates, it does not secure all the rtghH of in dependent Sovereignty lo any ; that the alle giance nf tho people is rightfully due as it has been freely given lo Ihe tieneral Government, to thn extept nf nil ihe sovereign power ex pressly ceded to thst Government by the Con stitution ; that the Supreme Court of Ihe U- nited Slates is Ihe proper nnd only tribunal in the last resort for the decision of all cases in law and equity arising'under the Constitution, the taws of the United States, and treaties made under Iheir authority ; Orel resistance to tho law* founded on the'inherenl and unal ienable right of nil men lo resist oppression is in its nature revolutionary nnd extra-constitu tional—and that entertaining these views, the Senate of the United Slates, while willing lo concede every thing to any honest difference of opinion which can be yielded-consistently with the honor and interest of the nation, will not fail in tho faithful discharge of its most solemn duly lo support the Executive in the just administration of the Government, and clothe it with all constitutional power neces sary to the fsi'hful execution of the law* and the preservation of the Union. Mr. C. then gave notice that, whenever the gentleman from Tennessee should move his resolution, by way of amendment, thu above would he moved as a substitute for a part of Ihe proposed amendment.

Tho resolutions were read, and also the res olutions moved by Mr. Grundy by way of amendment ur substitute therefor. ' When Mr. Mangntn, after some preliminary re marks, upon the propriety of delaying- Ihe dc. halo upon this subject until tho result of the discussion elsewhere should be had, moved lo poslpone llto consideration of the resolution* and amendment until Thursday next. Mr. Foot enquired if the amendment propo sed to the amendment by the gentlemen from Delaware, [Mr. Clayton,] wns heforn the The Chtltr slated 'that tho proposition'hud been read and ordered to be printed, hut had not been moved. ». Air. Clayton then requested Mr. Mattgum to withdraw hi* motion to postpone, to ena ble him to move hi* amendment, to whic)t Mr. M. assented—when Mr. Clayton moved to slrtko out thn fit It and 6th resolutions of Mr. Grundy’s substitute, and inseri instead 'hereof his nmontlmenl. Air. Mungiim then renewed his motion to . postpone to Thursday.- A1 r. Webster said, ho wns disposed to ollow tlte Senator from South Carolina, [Mr. Cnl- hoiiu.]to select his own time for tho consider ation of .Lite resolutions. ^ He wihi unwilling to interfere with any un- derslaoding Wnich might exist between the Scnntor from Nortfi Carolina, [Mr Mangmrj and that gentlemen on this subject, unless it extended to the special order—tho bill repor ted by the Committee of the Judiciary.- He could not assent to the postponemant-of-that hill. ' • Mr. Citlhnim had a request lo make of Ihn Senator from Tonnnssee,[Mr. Grundy,]wliich was founded on strict justice. It was not ne cessary for him to detatn'lho Senate with a de tailed statement of the situation of ihe Slain nf South Carolina. It wn* sufficient to say - that that Stale, acting in her sovereign capacity nit judge of her own rights, in the last resort, had annulled certain acts of Congress. The President of the United Slates, taking a vtow nf the rights of the State, entirely different from that entertained by her, had promulgated hi* proclamation to that effect. As a citizcAi of that State, and representing her in part to the Senate, he had moved certain specific pro. positions which he had drawn 'with gtent euro —which did not contain a single word -which was not ahtolutnly true—and which he off-r- nd as a plea in bar to the rtieasttres which hnd been reported by the Judiciary Commiltan tu pursuance nf the Executive recommendation, lie wished lo interpAsC- the Constitution of tho~United States between this bill which'er ect* a military despotism, and create* a dicta tor—nnd disguise it 'as you wt)f, the bill amounts’ to a repeal of the constitution—fbr llto purpose of carrying on war against South Car olina. Mo had endeavored to interpose Ibnt neglected end despised instrument, theconsti- niton, in Imr to the prosecution of this war.-.- How had his wishes been met? Instead of meeting the issue he had intended to form by his pics in bar, another hod been but in, which, hy the nil)* of the Senate, overrides it. Be fore any tribunal, there was no culprit on hum ble os not to enjoy the right of making his de fence in hi* own way. By the amendment of the gentleman from Tennessee, [Mr. Grun dy,] the exercise of this right wss denied ten sovereign State. He therefore claimed of tlm t gentleman In withdraw his amendment, that Ihe issue might be fairly mad* up. Air. Grundy was not unwilling to discharge
