Mr. Calhoun has sustained this second struggle. - -- .. On the comino up of the Seep~nd Order, Mr. Calhoun commenced his reply to Web ster's arguments on the constitutiolality of Congresg ;roviding a uniform currency, prevaousl..answerpd at great leiAth what he tert' the attacks made on him-per etnally by Mr. Webster. This portion of Calhoun's remarks were very severe and pointed, and roused the Northern Senator to a state of irritation which I never saw him display so openly lefore. Ho writhed about in his chair, as 'f impatient of his inability to interrupt Ca ,oun and repel his'charges, now and tien giving vent to his feelings in sharp excla mations, a practice quite foreign to his composed demeanor. Afterwards he pro ceeded to bring charges of inconsistency .gainst 14 ..Websteron the Tariftquestion, sn-proof 61fiigh he .quoted-largely. fem .several ot -that Senator's speechefs. .. The .purely argumentative porionof his re'marks were gihen with his accustomed ability and fgrce. WaVbster of cobrse repliid and with sucr warmth and excitement, as I thought his northern tempirament was incapable of. As the wholp diicussion was mostly upon matters a cting thqn personally. and iuifact consisted in muual attacks and de fence of each other's consistency, I refrain from dwelling upon nyof its pungent pie-. sages, but there nre Jone or two points, the nature of which makes them legitimate subjects of notice. Calhoun had in the course of his charges against Webster's consistency, intimated that he could draw a parallel between hsis and Mr Webster's position as to the late war. not creditable to the letter. When replying to this intimation, Webster warm ly challenged Calhoun to produce what he had to say on that head, and then proceeded to explain his views in reffereuce to the war, and how he had always been one of the most strenuous advocates of increasing the naval power of the country, he burst forth with one of the most elegant passages to Le found in his various speeephes. He allu'ded to the importance of om.r na vy and then skotch-ed in- the most vivid man ner the position of England with regard to the European continent at that time .under the power of Hotiaparte, who being subject to the maritime'superiorityof England, yet like the fable giant of old, was invincible whenever he touched the earth. This great power-England, had been made great by ter navy ,-her march was o'er the inoun tain wave, her home was on the deep," and we. said Webster, were *to attempt to wrestle with her on her own element, to intercept that march, and to pay our .re spects to her on that home-the deep! The whole or this pass' was very fine, and finding as it did in the heap of AmaimeAvo who heard him. thiat"D "" in the i ,;.-.ecal indeed, every one forig N theme moment, all party feelings .nthle theme which led to this magnificent episode But the best thing in the ;vhole debate was an amusing extract read by Webster from a volme containing the proceedings of the provincial government of East Ten nessee. lie adyisad Calhe '1 to take a hint from what he would read ..u embod i a substitute for his 23rd section of the bill,:-for which there was a motioni to strike out. Tlhe passage read by Webster, gave forth that as specie pay'ments were difficult in E. Tennessee, it was ordered that hereafter their Governor should be paid 3,000, deer skins, and so on with'the other civil otlicers their pay being given in skins of raccoons, musk-rats, and minks, decreasing in num ber and values, according to their rank. 'rhe gusto with which .Webster readi thjis passage, convulsed the. wijole atidience, thei adminisstton party giving into the~general mirth, and among them, tio man laughed more heartily than Calhoun himaelf, who saidl he had no objection to such a payment' i the skins could be* provided--to which WVebster replied. " Oh Ill attend to that" This story, made the -remainder of the deb~ate very temperate. and when the Sen ate adjourned, both of the combatants seem ed to regard tiach other with very peacable look's. Fronm i A CAresponmdece of the Charleston Mer. -WAsim vOTe, March-22. The Sub-Treasury Bill 'is comning near to its crisis in the Senate. The vote by whiteh Mr. Rives's substitute was rejected (Yeas 22, Nays 30,) shews the relative strength of the two parties to that measure. Among the thirty, are Messrs. Buichatan Grundy, Cuihbert and Mioris. The two former labor under itistructions, the two latter under a conviction, no doubt con scientious, that to adopt a specie currency for the.Goverpm~nt, woul be.a hazardous experiment for the country, though they are clearly in fa'vor of seperating the Gov ernment from the Banks. So they will vote against the Bill, and, on its final pas sage, the vote will be6 26 to 46, of of course. There is no doubt that thie Vi--e.President will decid, the question-in the affirmative. In the House, to-day, very little business was dome -A Resolution was adopted that the House adjourn at 4 o'clock, and attend the funeral of Overton Carr, Esq. Door Keeper of the House. T'he general A ppropriation Bill was re ported to the House, but a funher disenssion may be expected on some items, and many amendments which will be renewed. There was again quite a rush to the Senate to-day- Mr. Webster's last speech was rather personal in regard to Mr. Calhoun, sad Mr. C. had annonneed bie determina toen to reply to it. He did so to-day, at great length, and with unequalled success. lie not only retortedt the charge of inconsis ency, but he took tip hWr. W's argument minatysed it and dissipated it into thin air. le also recapitulated his own argument on the :qetion of the constitutional power of ongpreis to receive bank note. in public dues; Ieelarsd-that Mr. Webster had avoided the luestlon, and challenged himi to meet it now >r at any time. As Mr, Webster had drawng e omparise. bto et iand that otIer. Galo jd holai i0et of a g~oeri, vast and comprehensive pa, ttotisIi, looking atthe whole intereste of the country, and acting alwaIs as if the eyes of the framers of the Consttitution were upon him, while he represente4 Mr. Calhots as acting upon selfish and sectional considera. tions, Mr. Calhoun went fully into his own political history with that of the Massashu setta Senator; the result of which was, bringing back to Mr. .Webster's memory, some unpleasing reminiscences. ..Know.tiy self, said Mr. C., is a maxim of ancient wisdom, the force of which, I never before.. so fully comprehended. . The pretensions set up by the gentleman in the lofty-piece of autobiography which he had.disgorged, -had struck him anid every one with surprise, The qualities which the Senatorbad attri6 buted to himself were those id .which he was notoriously deficient. listqad of.that broad and comprehensive patriotism - to which he laid claim, the gentlenia'ws distinguished above all his contemporariss for a devoted attachment to the ititerests of the small section in which Providence b4 cast his lot. Hq had been, he said, not at inattentive observer of the Senator's coursq,. and if he ever cast a voto in support of. the rights and interests of the large section f country South of Mason's line. he, (M C. did not-remember it. A noble and genedj .patriotism tiould, one would think, eogerly avail itself of al opportunity to support the weak against the strong; but when the peace and the dearest rights of the South wer invaded and assailed. had the migh'ty arch and strong voice of the Senator ever beai raised in their dpfence? * Ilis voice wps ii deed heard but it wais not.on otrside, but on the side of the oppressor. Mr. C. took a view of the course of Mr. W.on the Coinpromise,* Tari', and Bloody Bill, and Oiv the recent Abolition Resolutions introduced-bv Mr. C.; and mentioned that when the q,uestion was about to be taken on one of those RCsolu. nions, which was so strong and clear that the gentleman could not vote against it, the. gentleman, as the whole Senate saw, rose and retired. How could the Senator, after this, claim to be a friend of the whole Union, and to act as ifthe eyes of the framers of the Constitution were upon him? . Mr. C. al luded also to Mr. W's. course on tihe Tariff' the speech also to show that in 1816, he was a hard money, loco-foco, and did not believe a word of his present doctrine that time Gov: ernment had a right to receive Batik pape-r and regulate Bank paper. Mr. Webster wns replying at length when this letter was closed. WASHINGTO -, March 23. The whole City appears to he engaged in discussing the subject of the conflict wb tween time giants of the Senate, which took place yesterday. The ihtole colloquy was ful of interest and instruction, ail. as it ended in mutual good feeling between the parties, there is no dizpositiou to consider either party as having been annihilated " to use the cant phraise.-o.th ther-dre those who think that Mr. Webster w.ist baul off and repair damages, beforo he can again enter into another attack ' u a body's consistency 1d11- patriotisnm. r.

Mr. Clay's'remarks in reply to Mr. Gu ho9n. .State initerpositin!-that is, as 1 under stand the- Senator from S. Carolina, ni-i ficatioti. hte asserts, overthrew the Prote tive Tariff and the American System. A nd can that Senator, knowing what lhe knows, and what.I know, deliberately make sttch an assertion here? I had heard similar boast, before, but did not regard . them,~ tint il I saw them coupled in tnis letter with the inmputationi of a purpose on the part of my friends to disregard the compromise, andl revive the high Tariff'. Nullificationa. Mr. President, overthrew the protective policy! No, sir. The comnpronmiso 'vas not extorted by the terror of nullifie'ation Among othier more impqrtanat motives that influenced its passage, it was a compassion ate cocession to the imprudence and itm potency of nullificnt ion ! The danger from. nullification itself excited no more appre hension than wotuld he felt by seeing a re-, giment of a tniotsatnd hoys, of. five or six years of age, .decorated in brilliant uni forms, with their gaudy plumies and tiny musketa, marching up to assault a corp~s of 60,000 grenadiers six feet high. At the commencemenit of the sessionl of 1832, the Senator from South Carolitiia was in aoy condition otheir than that of dictating terms. Those of us wvho were then here must recollect wveil his haggard lookis anid his anxious and depressed countenance. A highly estimable friend of mine, Mr.A1 M. Clayton. of Delaware. alluding to the pese sibility of a rumpture with South Carolina, and declarations of Gen. Jackson with re spect to certain individuals whom he bmd, denounced and prosc~ribed, said to me/on more thtan one occauioni, referring' to the Senator from Sotuth Caroinma and some of his colleagues, "They are clever fellows, and it will never do to let old Jackson hang them." Sir, this discl.,surp is extorted from me bmy the Senator. When Mr. Clay resumed his sent, Mr. Calhoun and Mr.~Preston both rose. The Chair gave the floor to Mr. Preston, who said that nothing could be more utiexpected or painful to him than the necessity under which he founnd him- * self' of interrupting for a moment tihe die csaemn between. the Senator from .Ken ttacky, and his colleague. He well knewv that m the general ex pectation fl the Public and by the acquiescence of the Senate, the I day and the occasion were appropriated to and set apart for those gentlemesi, and he had taken hits seat, not doubting that heo mhould listen in silenee, to which his health.. as well as thme proprieties o)f the ocason eemed to consign him. But, said (Mr. P.) rio contdition of my healhh, tio dread of vio- . ating an expected ordler of proceeding, no I rule or ceremonious observance, can com-n. ael me to silence tinder these remarks of the Senator from Kentucky in regard to my' 'I state. If they had been personal -to -my el~f. I might submit In silence, or postpone1 je,'ty for a' aore. it occasion, wishotte 4 breiking in upon the unity of the present Iene but the hionorable-Senator haft tho's proper to indulge a course of remarks up en certain recent and conspicuous acts, of my State, pressed, as it seems to me, un necessarily into this discussion, which I will at once resent and repel. And, besides there is, in my present relation to my State, pecuiar obligatioas of duty, al'ection, and gratitude, which makes her defence more my business and my pleasure than at any former time, It is generally known that it is m'y misfortune to difer with her Legisla ture in regard to important questions con nected with ibe.finances of this Government end that it has expressed that difference in formal resolutions. It is not so generally known that, with sin elevation and gener osity characteristic of the State, it at the %aine moment soothed the pain which tnis dilerence of opinion could not but create, by an express exclusion ofall censure upon her. public functionaries who entertained different views. Already bound to South Carolina by qvery obligation of duty and af fection which can hind a citizen and a ser vant, these obligations are enhanced and strengthened by this noble and touching act af kindness and generosity, which makes it my privilege.on this occasion, to supersede my colleague in the defence of our State, & to take to.my own hands the willing task. ,T I have remained silent when vulgar wit lings havq sought to amuse themselves or others by a poor jest on nullification; and I hnve heard, widiut'temotion, the efforts of underling politicians, who, ever and anon, supply d vacuity of sense by a puny and in nocent tirade against S. Carolina. Such things are to be expected from such (luar te:rs, and may be well submitted to in silence and indifll-rence; but when these poor top ics are rescued from contempt In the only way by which this can be effected, hv that -adventitious consequencc derived from the dignity and position of him who used them, they become worthy of animnalversion, not on their own account, but on account of the patty resorting to thein. In the contest which South Carolina wag ed with this Government, whether she wits right or wrong, no man of right mind, who knows the circuinstances, will perceive mat ter for jest. for ridicule Her course is now history. She acted in patriotism and hon or. 11er principlcs were openly asserted, her purposes boldly avowed; wrong or right, she fearlessly assumed her ground, calmly arrayed herself against the whole power of this Government.sternly retorted the frowns of a tyrant, armed as lie was by the eager haste of a servile Legislature, with all the power of the country, in or out of the Con stitution; and when the personal passions of the Chief Magistrate. ministered to and inflamed by the ready zeal of the most thoroughly devoted party which thia coun try ever saw, were joined and sustained by the greediness of the nanufseturiig inter est im measures of military violence, were there any synptoms of irresolution,. of giv ing back amongst us? Did the honorable Senator see any sign (f fear at home, or lie'itanlcy nmon-Ft thore who0 so well and so nobly represented us here? Did we not hurl back the proclamation in the teeth of those who issued it? Did we not upon this floor answer argument by argument and -ba.ns lv weorn. ipbil aAlinm, Rtbl . any one whi hiked' Jpona the scene in thns Senate, and our actors in if; did any ou who looked to us at home, even from this distance, see any where the hearing of men, whose names could be mentioned, except in the vulgar violence of pampered power, in any connexion with an ignominious death, or whose conduct and destiny cotuld ini any event he assocint d but with honor and re splect? Slaughtered we mnight have been. crushed and overwhelmed perhaps, but the: honorable Senator did not understand the occasion, ntor does he know the people oh whom lie speaks, if he believes that the cri sis of 1S33 could have been passed but b~y war or concession on the part of this Gov ernmefnt-compromise, if the word lie more palatable Well, sir, the Compromise hill was pass ed, and went forth wvith healing ou its wings. It was hailed as the haurbin;,er of peace, and was understood to lie the result of miutual concessions, runde in :a high spiirit of patriotism. for the pturpose ofi stmotherin~g the heats which threatened the country. In such a spitit, tunquesiionably, we acced edi to the comnpromise. surrendeLrinig, for its sake, a pfortion of our interests, which in justice might have becen insistedl on; atnd, in such at spirit, we Stupplosed, the honorable Senator, as ihe repre~sentative of thc manu racturag itnterest. had given hiii consent to the arrangelnent. These high atnd holy purposes I at ribiitedl to the honorable gen' tleman, and to those who actedl with h'iim un that occasion. I thought him entitled in the glory of having acted from no per tonal motive, from niothinig that 9ravoredl of party feeling, but from a broad piatriotismi ir the broader principles oif that code whielh promises blessmngs toi the peace-makers. And on this high ground I have always un LiVrsood the getlema~n then placed himiself; hit his declarations to-day show that lie is ilscontented with that position, and ho pre ~ers to have it known thai his object was to Irive a good bargain for the manufactu ems; and that his views of peace did not ~xtend beyond saving a good fellow or two mom an agnominious death. That lie did iot believe .that danger existed, or that South Carolina intended atught but child's dhay. The honorabile Senator has a right o establish the relatiton in which lie stands :o the transactions of that day, and ito cor ect the history of them, wshich had falsely, is it nowy appears, assignedh so different, mad, in my judgement, so much neb~ler an ittitude to the honorable Senator, lie now )ermits it to be understood that, wshen he teemed to compromise with South Caroli ta, it was, in fact, lint seenring the tariff' igainst Gen. Jackson; and that. when he alked of the harmony of 'lie Union, and lie peace of the land, be did not, in fact, onsider either In the slightest danger. In' ill this he was totally mistaken; as much mastaken in regard to us, as we were to urn. We were anxious to atvoidl, lint not firaid to meet a collision. We, at least, rere in earnest, wl.mu we said we were tilling to fight for Our catuse, or to comp~ro use for peace. Wie were resolute anid smedh; and when the honorable Senator peaks of' that period in the light tone he as assumed, he treats it in a way inconsis ent with the true character of the crisis, tigh his own dignity, and with the dignity f this Chamnae. , AUOUSTA, (Ga.) March 90. FaE!--On Mdnday evening last, about I Io'clock,a fire broke oat in tihe upper part of our city. in a kitchen attached to the store of Mr. Buford, on Broad Street, near ly opposite the Planter's Hotel. It soon communicated to the store, and the build ings in the vicinity being of wood, in the course of an hour they were all in flames. The fire was not got under until about half past one o'clock; when it was arrested, oan the east, by the fire proof store of Messrs. May and Burnet, and on the west, ly the store of Messrs. G. R Jesup & Co., also fire proof. All the buildings on Broad St., between these two points. were totally de stroyed, as were also the out buildings and back stores leading through to Ellis street. The two story wooden building on Ellis street, in a line with the house oe-upied by Mr. Jesup, was saved after munch exertion on the part of a few of our citizens, among whom was distinguished our intrepid fel low citizen, J. H1. Speloman, through whose exertions this building was saved,-had it taken fire, several other back stores and out buildings would have been destroyed. and the fire would have extended tip Ellis street, to the rear of P. Stovall's brick buil dling. Te loss by this fire will not exceed thirty thousand dollars. as all the buildings destroyed were old wooden hanses, scarcely worth repairing. The principal loss is on tihe goods in te different stores, tmost of which were saved in a damaged condition, and we tnderstand are under insurance, so that the loss will fall on insurance officers, who are able to bear it. Our engine companies used every exer tion to suppress the flames, but they were badly supported by our eitizens, about nine out of every ten of whom would have doue more service had they remained at home. It is really a disheartening sight to witness a fire in this city ; for when one occurs, you will see hlundreds of our most respectable citizens. time greater portion of wimorn are tie owners of property, instead of' taking hold of the ogines or forming lines to sup ply them with water, standing with folded arms. looking oat ! So long as this i time case what are we to expect? Is it to be supposed, that our energetic young men, and mechamics, will long use their exertions at fires in saving the property of others, when they see such an example set by tihe very men who should lie foremosi? z fire is no place for idlers and lookers on, and we advise taill such hereafter to remain at iome, for their presence as of no good and tends to dishearten those who, with feelings of humanity, show every dispo-sition to as sist their fellow annum in distress.-Consti tutionalist.

TRADE.-Lnrd Broughtati rought forward his motion on the subject )f the slave trade, on the 20th of February and made a great speech in support of it said to be equal to his happiest efforts in his better days, when he was Ilenry Broug ham, striving for distinction. His motion was fbr an address to the Queen, praying her to take immediatesteps for negociating with the governments of Spain, and Por-. tugal, and obtaining the concurrence of France and the United States in such no gociations, with a view to declare the trade mn slaves piracy; and included two:sets of resolutions, the first against the payment of head money to the persons engaged is suppressing the slave trade, and providing for the employment of steam vessels, ami the issue of letters of marque to private in. dividtals against slave ships; the second re lating to the apprenticeship system in the West Indies. The last of the second set provided for the final discontinuance of the apprenticeship system on the lat of August next. * Lord Glenelg opposed the motion, as not tending to any practical result, and offered a substitute for the address in these words: "That an humble address be presented to her Majesty, to assure her Majesty that this House continues to feel the deepest. and most intense axiety for the active aboli, lion throughout the world of the nefarious. traffic in slaves; to state that this Houso has seen with great satisfaction that an addition al treaty had been concluded between this country and Spain, well calculated to put an end to the slave trade under the Spanish flag; but that this House is deeply concern ed that no such additional treaty has vet been agreed to by Portugal, as the flag' of Portugal, is now extensively used to cover this iniquitous tratlic: That this House, ad verting to the ohligation contracted towards this country by Portugal, finally and gener ally to abolish its slave trade, and recollect ig moreover the ample pecuniary compen sativn made by !his country as a considera tion for this engagement, is of opinion that the Government of Portugal is bound in good faith to consent without farther delay to such additional stipulations as may be round necessary for the complete fulfilment of its said engagement. The Duke of Wellington supported Lord Glenelg, and the substitute was carried, unanimously. Lord Brougham's resolution was then negatived, 31 to 7, and the others without a division.
