Copy of h letter to the editor ot ihe Philadelphia Clue'te, dated Washington City Jan. 30, 1 830. A most interesting debate has been going on in the Senate for the last ort-

nigh', which has been marked by Sime very extraordinary and interesting circumstances. On the resolution oif!;reri by Mr. Foot of Connecticut, to suspend the surveys of public lands, Mr. Benton

of Missouri, delivered along and powerful speech, protesting against any measures which might prejudice the interest of the western states, and contending

additional light upon the subject: "Gales and Sealoji's compilation.

may acquire that hardihood ol countenance, it I may so xpre?s it, which is necessary fur a public debator. I do not, however, think that Mr. Hayne completely overthrew Mr. Webster, hut I am decidedly of opinion that Mr. Webster did not overthrow Mr. Hayne. Mr. Hayne sustained the con

stitutional views which I firmly believe to be conect, and which are confessed to becoirect by many who deny the South Carolina application of them, and he sustained ihjm with a power of eloquence and force of argument which to me are perfectly conclusive. I cannot admit the justice of Mr. Webstei's reply,

yet I can admire the force and ingenuity

with which he urged them, and the pow

erful appeal with which he enforced

them upon the Senate and the coun

try. He sustained his reputation well,

but he has found a Southern rival who certainly goes beyond him in all the exterm! requisites of an orator, and whose

intellectual powers are ol an order to make him in every sense a formidable rival in the public estimation, The debate of Mr. Fool's resolution was continued by Mr. Benton, who occupied the floor on the whole of Thursday,

and is to continue his speech on Monday, Friday being spent in the extraordinary consideration of the resolution to

subscribe for the printing df certain public documents, by Messrs. Gales Sz. Seaton. This is understood to have been a political vote entirely, and the manner in which it was forced through presents an

They secured a temporary success in the House of Representatives, electing tjeir Speaker by a majority of one: vote, and that o?ic vote given by a man who had modestly voted himself into the. House but a few moments before. Jn the Senate, they balloted fifty time?, determined that the wheels of government should stop, and the State be left without any organized legislature or an executive, unless the Administration party woulct yield them p all the oflicers of both Houses. And now, a party committee have made a most partial and illiberal report, excluding a considerable portion of the votes of the people without reasonable cause, and have still succeeded in giving their candidate a majority cf only 39 votes in nearly 47,000. The Republicans of that body are however, not tr

be deceived or defeated by acquiescing in the parry report cf a Federal commiw tee. They are determined to contest every inch of ground, and insist, to th-i last momentjuponthe right3 of the people and purity of elections.

Mr. Web ster replied to Mr. Hane's second speech, in an argument which occupied two days in the delivery; 1 mean two congressional da?, which consists ot about three hours each-to which Mr. H. rejoined in auoiher argument in support of his own constitutional doctrine, and

the debate was closed between them by Mr. Webster in a brief speech of about half an hour, on Wednesday last. The

opinions as to the victory in this strife, are of course as much divided asareth parties, whose different views of the constitution have been severally maintained, and by worthy champions. The opposition party generally contend that Mr, Webster overthrew Mr. Hayne, while on the other hand the re?ult is tiiumphatitiy hailed by the friends of the administration as a decisive and complete victory over the eastern giant.
