DEBATE IN THE EXECUTIVE SESSION
This evening’s Globe cnntuitis the e«nc!o*mn of
tlm deliuto nil tlm law and Contract aboUishiugreso
lut ion of the Senate, in reluri.ni to ilm Prin era.
■J III*-object in hII its lii'iiring* is admirably ..rgued
hy Me«ais. Wright, Woodbury, Sevier, Wtilki r and
Benton.
We have given the principal speerhes of the nd
vacates uf the high handed mca*ure; but such is the
utter fniluie of the majority, lo sustain, hy leasuu,
what they accomplriiied by naked power—tliut
their own partial presses have n..t dared to lay the
dUcu-sion before the public. There never was a
more triumphant vindication of right than that #x
htbiicd in tlie soccessiun of Democratic speeches
which have been submitted to tlm public; imr was
wrong ever pel pel rated by n deliberative body, nn
der poorer plausibilities than tins Federal majorities
put lonli to Mistnin them.
Colonel 0.'oi'ui brought up the rear of the Denvv
Ciulic bnttnlJion on ibis occasion, and rrcnpiiuluted
tin* hi-tory nf the coor*# of ill" Federal party on
tlie su'.j-ct of this priming; proving that thccoiuse
pursued in the case brfnro ihe Senn'e, was n direct
violation of ilm majority's own rule, and every pro
ccdcnt they had established under it. We give a
synopsis of hi* statement of th* facts.
1. Mr. Benton showed that in 1835, on the 23th
of February of that year, the Federal par v, then u
majority in tlm Senate, but going into u mbmrity on ■
the 4 di uf March, forced on llio election of Public.
Printer, to defiance ofull the opposition whi Ii the
Democracy c-dd make ogaiast it, and elected
G ile* und No rton. He read from hi* own speeches
on tlm nrctiKinf), protesting against the imposition
of nn obnoxious Printer upon tlm party who was so
soon 10 be in the majority, nml he r. ml his two mo
lion*, made in 1833 and 1835, in repeal the joint
resolution ol 1819; und also read thu notirc which
he then give for moving 10 sut aside tlm election of
Gules ami Seaton nt the next session. Me then re
niin.h'G the Senate that Im had nevei made thulino
tior.; thnt Gab s nnd Seaton, thus forced, upon u lit
]«'" Democratic majority, by a retiring Federal nut
jority, were Icit to enj- y their place for >lm iw nyeats
for which they had been elected the Democratic So
mil 01s refusing to carryout his, Mr. B's threat to
set liable the c ret ion.
2. lie showed that tlm same thing was don# in
tho House of Representatives in February, 1833;
thnt Gules nnd Sea'on bud been pronounced tn have
been elected at that timo by the retiring Federal
majority, though tlm election was resisted before it
rnmis on, and the result dipoted, nnd. in fact,disprov
ed afterward*; lor, whi.o Gales nnd Soiitun were pro
noorred to bo el.-cicd by receiving ninety odd votes,
Mr IFnir showed the writ ten and signed statements
of one hundred members declaring that they hud
voted for him.
3. Ho also rliowed ilmt tlm Federalists, when a
mnjur.iy in rim Senate, hail twice refused to repeal
■ he joint resolution of 18.9, which lin y now 1 closed
to obey; that lie bail, in 1833, nnd again in !G35,
submitted n resolution for tho repeal of that resoiu
lion, which, in 1833 was sent to n committro com
pored in toto of tho Federal party, and egnin, in
1835. t<yi committee conipo*. .1 four nut nf five, of
Federalist; that theac committee# d. tnincd his rnso
lurion to the last moment of the twosessions. and
then repotted against thorn nnd w. re sustained
hy th# Federal majorities. Tlm# tlm Federal ma
jorities, in 1833 und 1835 refused ai d decided
iigninst repealing tlm joint res-lotion of 1819; re
Mined ii on the aton te honk ; neted under it, in do
fiance of the Domo'-ruev; elected their favorite prin
tera under it ; imposed th.iso printers upon the fir
lure majority; nn.l now refuse to ncknowledg# the
validity of tlm joint resolution f 1819—treat it n«
n nullity; nnd ilm* •« up or knock down, enforce
or di-regard llm joint resolution of 1819, precisely
ns it suited their interest to do so.
4 He show ed llm contrast bet wren the profes
•ions nod llm practices of the Federal parly. He
quoted Mr. Preston's fine acntinmin,snnstontminus
ly delivered in the Senate, that “Proscription it
self teas to be proscribed:" nnd showed thnt, 111
tlm very moment of delivering that sentiment, a
caac ..f relentless proscription wus m#diint#il; nnd
that nil the vast pretention* to mugnanirui'y then act
up—all the profesrion* of toleration in opposition
lotlm Intolerance of the Jackson administration—
cot tt prr/crcn nihil—that h**ie they were p'oreri
hint* pr- ci-ely in ike casein which iho Jackson ad
mini*trniion hnd bee a tolerant.
5. He compared the temper, a* well n« the eon
duel, nf me two parties under proeLely tlte same
cirt iimsinncea Taking np Mr. Demon's oft re
|.e.itcd d.-claniion, that tbo present purl; in power
eould not loternra Blair and Rive# for “one in
slant." he showed that tho Demoeraric party,at two
different time*, and in rim two ends of ilm C'apil.d
and for Itsn years at a time, had tolerated Ga e-and
firntwti. Her# be said, wa- 1 o'at at loo for foitryear*
hy ih# intolerant, prusrrming. tyrannical Democrat.;
while the tolerant, merciful, clement, amiprnserip
lion Fedurahns tvfuie to tolerate for one ring!,,

Urns# wrr# the pain's mado hy Mr. Demon's
aperch. end w# sum them up for the porn.*## of do

alatrnt and uniform in 1831, ».J 1835, and In 18II
-and la show leg th# Faderall.l* refusing to l*«
bou'.d b> a law in |!l||,an.| inaiii g ii •# s auluy,
winch they refused tofrepval in 1833 and 1835; in

trampling it under Tout whan it ia in favor of Blair
and Rive*.
There will Im hut one opinirn amongil all candid

Mr. Walker said hit friend Irom Ark»n*a* IiqJ
nllndi'd to tho fact that, in 1033. Gale* und Seaton
were declared to beHected, having received,accord

under their signatures, ilmt they had depntited their

though the roller* Bmioiinccd tlm election of Gales

this re-u!i most have been either through fraud or

hoped the dny would tint Como when tlmru would •
bo a re-oiti'se to imud in ci her of tbs two House#

were not only promolgutod by th# party here at that
period, hut limy were icuffimied by tlm Whig prets
throughout tlm Union in article* republished front

1'i'ir.ler* on tlm lomovul of Blnir nnd Rives. In an
nnicle published in lha National Intelligencer, oh
ilm 27lit uf November, 1833, in which they are gis;
ing ilmir reasons why they should be considered
Rumors for the two years, they trent it in precisely
the same manner that tlm election of Blair nnd Rives
w n* now tienied; they proclaimed it was a contract*
But tlm following wn* their own liinguage.
"Fu-aing by otiiar indication* of luisor conso

und ilniig.-i'ous iofluenco we expusbd to our readers

legal."
And Imre ho would cnll tho attention nf the Son

utii'inpt tu 1 miiov# ilium as both "immoral and ilia

Senton, in 1833. against thnt net which wns now
lo be iiciiimplirimd by their frioi.il* in this body—
un net too, of wliicli rim men who denounced it then
wen* now turenp the fr.-it. If this were nn immo
ttdiiy nnd miiileg>d ty, Im would turn it over lo the
consciences of gentlemen, when they enrnc lo give
1 heir votes for Gnie* nnd Seutcu, to fill the vacancy
now to l.o creurod. But wo would proceed with
ilmt puitof tlm article wli'ch trams in ua a contract
with Gnl#* and Seaton. It i*as follows:
•‘Tlio reason for tlm* ntultir.g thu appointment
for piicIi Cungtciis nt tho close of tho preceding
session, wna of course tu ennbl# the nuitinctor to
prepare thu neco**ury material* to enable him toexo

ol failure in the proper execution of the work, or
inronvenient delay, ilmt tlio Secretary or Clerk of
either Iloti.o can employ another Printer to dnuny
patt oftlto wmk. Such a th ng bus in fact never
yi-t occuired, in th# court# of fourteen year* prao

'I he iC’iilutinn, too, aet furth thnt, in cure of tho

l.y unuthcr Printer, and the contractor should pny
any surplus to thu new Printer thut might be allow
ed, u* dulling## for tlm non cx#i:i.iionof bis duly.—
Now let them see what wn* snid on the effect of the
joint resolution of 1819 uml 1829.
" 1 bus, uml with till ilmsc solemn forms nnd sancti

tlm Kitchen Cuhinet, iiia'I the insolence of power,
with inaichli'** presumption, undertake to order

tlwy could no morn legally do, tho render will per
c#ive. than they could now set arid# the election nf
Mr Adams tu the Presidency in 1825, and declare
every net done in cons'quenceofit to have been

Theie wus thedoctrino nf tlm Whig pnrty nf 1833,

tlm*.* nmv i'xi«ting. fur there wna now 110 allegation
thnt Blair uml Rives were ciuuen by fraud. Gule*

1 Iron tlint Mr. Adams cul.l In* dismissed from thu
Pre-idcncj by the vote of Congress; and yet now
they were tu reap tho fruit uf the act which limy
then,in i'ltib..tiiteeditorial tinkle*, denounced us

who were to b# elected IV'inter# by tho other side,
who w. re about lotlo ilm very snmo net which wns
then pronounced to be immoral nnd illegul, nnd
"inutckk's* impudence." Thia joint resolution hnd
hc.-n in fine# for twenty two years, for llm fir*t cleo
tion of Giib h uml Seaton look place on tlm third of
March, 1819. To this Inc; let him call the ntten
tion of this body und tlm country, and let him ntkif
(hi* body w-.s not now to act r.n this joint resolution.
Ti e re-..lotion was neted upon at tl.o following
period.': 1019. '21, ’23, ’25, ’27, ’29, ’31, ’33, ’35?
’37,’20, und ’41.
I here wu* not one ringlc gop or intermission in

There were examples in their favor fur twenty two
year*, under ull the mutotion* of party und of doe
trine tlmt this country hnd undergone, und nut one
exnmplo to the contrary; but nt this lute period, this
Wliij! Senate wn# ulnnii to create nn #xum|ile for
tlm violation of ihe resolution sl'1819. For the fir at
time, n Whig Senate wna nli.uit to di«mi*au Printer
uppoin'pd under ilmt joint resolution, for never hud
oil Imr House given them one sulitniy example dur
ing a period of twenty two veins, tu justify llio net
that was limn about tu be peifurmed by n Whig ma
jority. And whirl wus the ground on which the revo
lution had been disregarded in the ether House?—
Ou looking 111 tlmjournuls.il would he seen that they
were twofold. One was a di.-pute in r gnrd to the
manner of ilm election—whether it should lie by
ballot nr tioa race. ‘I hey failed not on the ground
th u the resolution was innpcrnrivi'.but on the ground
tlmt it required a vote of two thirds to take tlm re*o
In ion up lor action; nnd two thirds could not be found
lo agree upon u day. And when llie am,i n was
