THE AFTER PIECE. After tho debate upon the President's vela was closed, Mr. Chy produced a scene in tho Senate winch struck the crowd in the galleries and Senate Chamber, collected to hear the end of a speech which Mr. Benton hid bonn the d;iy before, with astonishment. It hi3 been the subject of conversation for several days in the city, and all speak of it with wonder: of the friends of Mr. Clay, soma express mortification and sorrow, otiiers displeasure and disappointment. So far as Mr. Benton is concerned, not one of his friends, we imagine, will regret that the opportunity was offered him, to m irk Mr. Clay with the opprobrium he deserved. Mr. Benton has shown himself every way capable of taking up Mr. Clay in his intemperate and head-strong course md the latter gentleman is now in the condition of a court-yard bravo, of whom we heard in the west," who after seeking a quarrel, and having at last found an antagonist, exclaimed: "I have been hunting a fight all day and now I have got a fight I'm afraid to fight. Globe. After Mr. Benton had concluded his rcrrmrlfs, Mr. Clay rose and said: The Senator from Missouri expresses dissatisfaction that the speeches of some Senators, should fill the galleries. He has no ground for uneasiness on this score. For if it be the fortune of some Senators to fill the galleries when they speak, it is the fortune of others to empty them, with whatever else they fill the chamber. The Senator from Missouri has every reason to be well satisfied with the effect of his performance to d ly; for among his auditors is a lady of great literary eminence. Point ing to Mrs. Royal The Senator intimates, that in my remarks on the message of the President, I was deficient in a proper degree of courtesy towards that officer. Whether my deportment here be decorous or not, I should not choose to be decided upon by the gentleman from Missouri. . I answered the President's arguments and gave my own views of the facts and inferences introduced by him into his message. The President states that the Bank has an injurious operation on the interests of the West, and dwells upon its exhausting effects, its stripping the country of its currency, &c. and upon these views and statements I commented in a manner which tho occasion called for. But, if I am to be indoctrinated in the rules of decorum, I shall not look to the gentleman for instruction. I shall not strip him of his Indian blankets to go to Boon's Lick for lessons in deportment, nor yet to the Court of Versailles, which' he eulogizes. There are some

said, a placard, first issued in Missouri, and republished lately. It first appear ed in 1825, and stated that I had said in an address, that if General Jackson should be elected, we must be guarded with pistols and diiks to defend ourselves While legislating here. This went the rounds of the papers at the time. A gentleman, well acquainted in the State of Missouri, (Col. Lawless,) published a handbill denying the truth of the statement, and calling upon any person in the state to name the time and place, when and where any such .ddress had been heard from me, or any such declaration made. Col. Lawless wa3 perfectly familiar with the campaign, but he could never meet with a single individual, man, woman, or child, in the State, who could recollect to have ever heard any such remarks from me. No one came forward to reply to the call. No one had ever heard me make the declaration which was charged upon me. The same thing has lately been printed here, and, in the night, stuck in a placard upon the posts and walls of this city. While its author remained concealed, it was impossible forme to hold him to account, nor could I make him responsi ble, who, in the dark, sticks it to the posts and walls, but since it is in open day introduced into this chamber, I am enabled to meet it as it deserves to be met. I see who it is, that uses it , here, and to his face, pointing to Mr. Clay, I am enabled to pronounce it, as I now do, an atrocious calumny Mr. Clay. The assertion that there is "an adjourned question of veracity" between me and General Jackson, is, whether made by man or master, absolutely false The President made a certain charge against me, and he referred to witnesses to prove it. I denied the truth of the charge, fie called upon his witness to prove it. 1 leave it to the country ,to say whether that witness sustained the President's allegation. That witness is now on

kind; but this may not he the caso with some cf their members of Congress. Those on whom such favors are bestowed, have favors to give in return. Some member of Congress arc interested indirectly, if not directly, in the stock of the Bank. Others have received extensive 'accommodations. Others are their feed lawyers feed too at a most extravagant rate. The two leaders of the Bank phalanx in tho Senate, were Daniel Webster Henry Clay. The name of Dmiel Webster appears on the list of stockholders; but he declared, in his speech against the veto, that he held no stock, having probably transferred it nfler the Bank applied for a new charter, lest he

lent subscriptions! Not much cculd be

expected from a Bank which commenced in a fraud on the community so stupendous. By these fictitious subscriptions, the honest bona fide subscribers were cheated out of a large portion of the stock which properly belonged to them, and the whole concern was thrown into the hands of a few speculators and stockjobbers. So valuable were the exclusive nrivile-

THE VETO AND THE BANK. The first -objection made by the President to the act rechartcring the Bank of the United States, ought xf itself to be conclusive in a country of equal rights. He shows conclusively, so much so, that no advocate of the Bank in the Senate or out of it, has dared to deny it, that the act would have operated as a present, from the people to the stockholders, of more than seven millions OF DOLLAEs! The stock of the Bank is 350,000 shares of 100 dollars each, "70,000 of which were subscribed by the government and 280,000 by private citizens. In the original subscriptions for the private stock, there was a gross fraud, as the President of the Bank has recently acknowledged. In page 5 of the "Report of the proceedings of the triennial meeting of the stockholders" held "on the 1st day of September, 1S31," he sets forth the number of stockholders in the Bank each year from 1817, the time it commenced operations down to 1831, inclusive and appends the following remarks, viz: 4 It will hete be perceived, that the original subscriptions were divided among" a great number of persons, in order to secure the amount of stock desired, but became afcerxoards concentred in the names cf the real owners. The whole number of stockholders was in 1820.2720 From that period the number has risen to 4145." Here is a direct confession, that the original subscriptions were, in a great measure, fraudulent. Rich men, in order to monopolize the stock, procured others to subscribe for them, with the secret understanding that after the Bank had commenced operations, they should transfer the stock, under pretence of sale, to "tho real owners." The extent of this fraud may be perceived by adverting to the statement. It shows, that in 1S17, there were 31,310 stockholders:, find in thfi vnnr 1 S2(- 2.720- sbmvinrr

peculiar reasons why I should not go to that Senator for my viows of decorum, .n -regard -to my bearing towards the Chief Magistrate, and why he is not a fit instructor? I never had any personal rencontre with the President of the United States. 1 never complained of any outrages on my person committed

hy him. I never published any bulletins respecting hi3 private brawls. The gentleman will understand my allusion. Mr. Benton said: He will understand you, Sir, and so will you him. I never complained, that while a brother of mine was down on the ground, senseless or dead, he received another blow. I have never made any declaration like these relative to the individual who is President. There is also a singular prophecy as to the consequences of the election of this individual, which far surpasses, in evil foreboding whatever I may have ever said in regard to his election.- I never made any prediction so sinister, nor made any declaration so harsh, as that which is contained in the prediction to which I allude. I never declared my apprehension and

At this last stage of the session I do not rise to renew the discussion of this question. 1 only rose to give the Senator from Missouri a full acquittance, and I trust there will be no further occasion for opening a new account with him. Mr. Benton replied. It is true, Sir, that I had an aflray with General Jackson, and that I did complain of his conduct. We fought, Sir- and we fought, I hope, like men. When the explosion Xvas over, there remained no ill will, on either side. No vituperation or system of petty persecution was kept up between us. Yes, Sir, it is true, that I had the personal difficulty, which the Senator from Kentucky has had the delicacy to bring before the Senate. But let me tell the Senator from Ken

tucky there is no adjourned question of

veracity between me and General Jack son. All difficulty between us ended

with the conflict; and a few months

alter it, .1 believe that either oarlv

would, cheerfully have relieved the

other from any peril, and now we shake

hands and are friendly when we meet.

I repeat, sir, that there is no adjourned fjueslion of veracity betxveen me and Gen erat Jackson, standing over for settlement. If there had been, a gulf would have .separated us as deep as Hell. Mr. Benton then referred to the prediction alleged by my Clay, to have been made by him. I have seen, he

TON.here said aloud, in his place, the Mississippi and the fisheries Mr. Ad ams and the fisheries every body understands it. Mr. C. said, I do not yet understand the Senator. He then remarked upon the "prediction,' which the Senator from Missouri had disclaimed. Can he, said Mr. C, look to me and say that he never used the language attributed to him in the placard which he refers to? He says Col. Lawless denies that he used the words in the State of Missouri. Can you look me in the face, Sir, addressing Mr. Benton, and say that you never used the language out of the State of Missouri?

Mr. Benton. I look, Sir, and repeat that it is an atrocious calumny, and I will pin it to him who repeats it here. Mr. Clay. Then I declare before

the Senate that you said to me the very words Mr. Benton in his place, while Mr. Clay was yet speaking, several timeloudly repeated the word "false, false, false." Mr. Clay said, I fling back the charrrz

of atrocious calumny upon the Senator

from Missouri

A call to order was here heard from several Senators. The President, pro tem. said, the Senator from Kentucky is not in order and must take his seat. Mr. Clay. Will the Chair state the point of order? The Chair, said Mr. Tazewell, (the President pro tern..) can enter into no explanations with the Senator. Mr. Clay. I shall he heard. I de

mand to know what point of order can

jgainst me, which was not

equally applicable to the Senator from

Missouri. The President, pro cm., stated, that he considered the whole discussion as out of order. He would not have permitted it, had he been in the Chair at

its commencement. Mr. Poindexter said, he was in the Chair at the commencement of the discussion, and did not then see fit to checkit. But he was now of opinion that it was not in order. Mr. Benton. I apologize to the Sen ate for the manner in which I have spoken: but not to the Senator from Kentucky. Mr. Clay. To the Senate I also offer an apology. To the Senator from Missouri none. ; The question was here called for, by several Senators, and it was taken, as heretofore reported.

rtful gentlemen realized in a few years

seven or eight millions of dollars by the increase in the value of their stock above par. For every $100 paid in, they realized 125 to $130, which was equivalent to a present from the Government of sccen or eight millions. As the President well observes, this could not have been guarded against in the original charter, because it would not be foreseen. No blame ought, therefore, to be attached to the Congress of 18 10 on that account. But what apology was there for the Congress of 1S32, to give to the holders of the stock scccn or eight millions more? Certainly those who had hy fraudulent subscriptions originally monopolized the stock and tho bouniv of the Government, did not da-

serve to bo rewarded by a new gratuity. Nor is there cither policy or justice in giving to tho foreigners, who own 8,105,500 of the stock, two or three millions at the expense of the American people. Nor is there any propriety in giving, by act of

Congress, 25 or 30 per cent, even to the the honest purchasers of the stock among our own citizens. It is not the business of Congress to make presents, at the expense of the peopb. Ay justly and as properly m:ght they appropriate seven or eight millions out of the Treasury, giving each stockholder his share by name. What would be the language cf the American people had they appropriated that sum out of the Treasury to a few of our own rich citizens who liave fraudulently monopolized a large portion of the stock, and to the nobility and gentry of the British Empire ? Would they not have loudly demanded of their representatives, why it was that they had so trilled with their essential interests?

The object of the Bank, therefore, as Mr,

Clay well understood, was to support, him for President, in case Gen. Jackson refused to awrard to them a new charter. That he would refuse, Mr. Clay never had a doubt. In voting to rec barter tho Bank, therefore, Mr. Clay had both a pecuniary and political interest. It was to him a most valuable client, and it had resolved to put forth all its money and power to vutkc bin President.
