 There was sharp passage of words yes. terday in the Senate between Mir. Forsyth and Mr. Sprague, which is not otherwise inn portant than as it shows the disposition to sustain Gen. Jackson in all his acts, of how ever outrageous character, or however ex pressive ofs contempt for the coordinate branches of the government. It occurred du- ring the debate on the bill to extend vaccina- ton among the Indians, in the course of which some references were made to the individu. als employed as Indian agents. Mr. Sprague took occasion to speak in warm tones of the manner in which the President, as appears rom printed report of the Indian expendi- lures, had appointed to agencies, Rector. Stambaugh, and Gardiner, after they had been rejected by the Senate. He added that when men, thus rejected for the infamy of their characters, were immediately afterwards appointed by the President, he would vote to tie up the hands of the Executive. MT. For syth inquired if the Senator from Maine in- tended to say that these individuals were in. famous. One of them, he said was merely rejected because he was printer; one be- cause he had been engaged in a fray in the West, and the other because his character was not understood. The reply ofMr. Sprague was maniy,Ht once, and to the point. He said S.-'>e ssS NhS HNCoAtVu uuO OCCu OtSttUSly PsO- posed to him, heshould show that he had no disposition to evade an answer, whatever haz- ard members of Congress now encountered by speaking the truth in their places. He re- peated that Rector was rejected because he had been convicted of deliberate attempt to commit murder, and asked if that was not in famous That Gardiner was rejected be- ] cause of his loose habits. He would now de- 1 clare iR his place that some of those who had been rejected, and had been since employed by the President. were regarded as infamous. aud he called on the gentleman from Georgia ! to deny this in his place. Yet now the Sem ate was told that after the Senate had thus l rejected men, the President had right to employ 4hem. He asked if there were no other persons in the UniIed States deserving ofconfdence. that the President should thus select those who were thus turned from the doors of the Senate. He neser would con- cede t0 a President any such power. Mir. Forsyth attempted to explain that Rector was more unfortunate than criminal. and thai in the case of Gardiner the testimony of the Senators from Ohio. that he was intemperatc, ted to his rejection, although the certificates subsequently, received from men Of the high est standing, induced a suspicion that the Sen atOrs had beeusin error. This drew on Mir Forsyth tho Achillean wrath 0f Mir. Ewing which compelled the ex.diplOnlat to ressrt tC his half. s0FgOtten diIiIomacy to extricaee him sclf-N. r. Spec.
