grace. Even now, let the President re
trace his steps and correct his errors, and
this pour temporary shift will not bo neces
sary. Confidence will be restored. Di.
disgraced as the Governmont is, its credit
will be re established. But, sir, I have no
hope that ho will do so; he has gone too far;
he is as near the other shore us the one ho
has left.
'Slept in so far, that, should ho wade no more,
Returning were as tedious es go o'er.
I repeat, sir, that 1 have no hopes that he
will retrace his steps. 1 know thfit he is
toe deeply enamored with the damsej
cufocuism, to leave room for a hope that he
will do so. It is true that the smiles with
which she answered the soft promises
which he whispered in her ear were the
smiles of a coquette. They, however, do.
ceived him; he has mistaken them for
tokens of true affection—imagining that the
blandishments with which he wooed her.
especially when practised by a gentleman
of the Old Dominion, could not fail to win
her. But his suit will not be successful.
In the end, he will find that she will ao
cord her substantial favors to the distin.
guished gentleman in the other end of the
Capitol, or to "Old Bullion," or the "Great
Rejected," rather than to him; although
by the brevet of my friend before me, (Mr.
Both,) he is a "Captain." [A laugh.]
Mr. Wise here interposed: He said the
gentleman had twice repeated that he knew
"the President had been paying court to
the damsel Locofoceitun." Now, he (Mr.
W.) challenged him to the proof. He was
not willing to receive the gentleman's as
sertion. • Where is his proof?
Mr. Cooper replied: lri his acts. By
his acts let him be judged. Who have
been h:s counsellors? Were 'they Whigs?
Mr. Wise answered: His cabinet. His
Whig cabinet, composed of better whigs
than the gensieman.
Mr. Coopor rejoined: I should not like to
endorse ail of them; nor would the gentle
man, 1 pre:ime, vela° my endorsement;
but certain it is he could not regard it less
than I'do his denial of the fact that the
President has courted the Locofecoe. He
speaks of the Whig cabinet. Does he in
timate by this that the President is a Whig?
If he be, the Madisonian, his mouthpiece,
has greatly belied him; for it has declared
that he is "no Whig;" that the "Whig
defeats" in the late elections were "Tyler
victories. Does the unmeasured abuse
which this organ of his has heaped on the
heads of the truest Whigs in the nation
prove hat he is a Whig or the friend of
the Whigs 7 No, sir; the man speaks the
sentiments of the master. President Ty
ler is no Whig—no friend of the Whigs.l
I do not desire to say any thing disre
spectful of him; there is nothing to be gain
ed by doing so; and 1 have endeavored to
refrain from it. But had I known that
was to be called on for the proof of a fact
which I thought had' become history, I
would have summoned witnesses to prove
not only that such a cotirtship : had com•
menced, but also the stages of its progress.
[A laugh
Mr. Wise rising to put a question, Mr.
Btanly objected, alleging that such inter.
re . ptions were wholly out 9f order.
Mr...Wise . said he.wotild not ask leave of
the gentleman from North Carolina to put
his question; as'the gentleman from Penn
sylvania had given way, he was strictly in
order in doing so.
The Chair said, if the gentleman from
Pennsylvania had given way, the gentle
man from Virginia was in order.
Mr. Cooper said he had given way, and
the gentleman from Virginia might put
any questions or make what explanations
he pleased.
Mr. %Visa then said he had called on the
gentleman for proof, not of his belief, but o
his personal knowledge that such was the
tact. He [Mr. Cooper] had stated that he
knew the President had been courting the
Locofucos. Ile wanted the gentleman to
say whether he knew this of his-own
personal knowledge, and had not expected
he would refer to newspaper par?graphs.
He cared not who asserted it to ho so, he
[Mr. %V.] contradicted the assertion, and
again . demanded whether the gentleman
asserted it from his own_ private personal
knowledge.
Mr. Cooper replied: These little love
passages generally happen in secret. It
is not usual for the public to be put in pos
session of the billetdoui which pass be
t Ween lovers. But there are certain iota,.
ligible signs—a blushing confusion on one
side, with sighs and soft looks on the other,
or, if they be vulgar people, nods end
winks---which betray the state of the par
ties' affections as certainly as if by some
accident we had found a billet, addressed
by JOhn Doe to his adored mistress, Amy
Roe, describing the length and breadth,
and heighth and depth, and ever enduring
character, of his passion. [Loud laugh
ter.] I am sure, said Mr. C., that an hen
est jury of twelve, in view of these facts,
Would find against the "Captain." If the
deltct were capital, it would be well for
him that the punishment of death were
abolished, otherwise ho would be in danger
of hanging. [A laugh.]
Mr. Proffit hero expressed his hopes
that there would be a general understand
ing that the friends of the President would
be allowed to answer the gentleman from
Pennsylvan:a. It was a fact, he said, that
every diplomatic appointment, except one,
made by President Tyler, was trade from
among those opposed to him.
Dlr. Cooper replied. There may be
n very ;lend reason assigned for that, I
douht very much whether the Pfesident
could have flund !) , ,Ifenough of his own
friend; to fill the diplomatic stations of Itie
country f 1am211.1 •
, Mr. Ch:lirerto, said Mr. C.,, without
dwelling hni g er 'this love affair, I will
conclude by repentipOiat I am orposed
to the issue of Treasury notes on principle
—not lieeausc they are a measure of Pre•
sident Tyler's, but because they will inevi
tably, without the knowledge of the people,
involve the country in debt—because in
iiwuioy trem the convenieme of the Gov.
ernment alone is consulted, without regard
to the convenience of the people—because
the state of the Treasury, and the amount
of the existing debt, can never be accurate
ly ascertained while this system of issuing
and reissuing these notes prevails—because
it is a poor, tinkering, patch•work system,
unworthy of statesmen, who should, instead
of this hand to-mouth expedient, adopt
some permanent measure, by which the
wants of both Government and people
would be supplied. "Sir, l am opposed to
this measure because it involves the Whig
party •in a labyrinth of inconsistency, de
stroys the confidence of the people in the
purity of their principles, and compels
them to dobbt the sincerity of their former
denunciations of the abuses practised by
the late administration, of which the issue
of Treasury notes was one. Thee princi
ples of this party must save the country, if
it is to be saved. I therefore regret to see
thorn brought into disrepute with the na
tion. And, lastly, I desire to preserve my
own consistency, not at the price of the
interests or honor of my country, for on
her alter, to promote her interests and glo
ry, I would sacrifice personal pride and
consistency, party and party attachments.
But she requires no such offering at my
hands—for her - true interests will not only
not be sacrificed by the defeat of this bill,
but, on the contrary, will be promoted
by it.
Mr. Profit then took the floor in defence
of the President; and having referred to
"the guard," on which ho intimated - an
attack had been made,
Mr. Cooper interposed. I never refer
red -to "the guard"—l never mentioned
them—they never came into my mind.
As to the gentleman from Indiana, I never
once thought of him. [Loud laughter.]
Mr. Prolit resumed. I did not say he
thought of me, but 1 will make him think of
me—l mean WE shall be heard of. [Con
vulsions of laughter.] Gentlemen tell us
what to do I We will tell them what they
should do. Tell me these things? Why,
if gentlemen assume positions they cannot
sustain, by their own personal knowledge
or that of others, it will go to the country,
and if we, do not contradict them, it will
be said it was because we could nnt. I
therefore deny here, positively, that the
President ever directly or indirectly made
overtures to any party.
Mr. Cooper. 1 never said he had actu•
ally "popped the question." [Loud laugh.
ter.]
Mr. Profile rejoined. If ho had a ques
Lion to pop, ha would pop it as he popped
his veto.
He (Mr. P.) then proceeded to address

ARRIVAL OF THE BRITANIA.
THIRTY,DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE
The Britannia arrived at Boston at 5
o'clock on Saturday afternoon. The as•
pect of financial and commercial affairs is
decidedly more favorable than was gener
ally anticipated.
The Britannia brings London dates to
the 3d and Liverpool to the 4th in , t.
Foremnq in importance is the intelli
gence of the appointment of Lord Ashbur
ton as a special Minister to the United
States for the purpose of entering into ne
gotiations for the final settlement of all
difficulties between the two countries.
The repudiation .doctrines about whicl
so much has been siiid in this country, cans.
ed no excitement whatever in London.—
The papers scarcely allude to the suhjec
at all.
There is nothing later from China than
has been received direct nt this port.
The boisterous whether on the English
coast had prevented the packets from leav
ing at their appointed time. The England
did not sail till the 18th. There had been
several shipwrecks on the coast.
The message of President Tyler had
been received and read with much inter
est and satisfaction. Its pacific tone caus
ed an immediate rise in the funds.
A mong the passengers in the Britannia
are Mr. Charles Dickens, the celebrated
author, and hie lady; Mr. Mosoly, bearer
of despatches and Earl Mulgrave. Mr.
Motley, Jr. is the . bearer of despatches to
our Government, from Mr. Everett,
American Minister at London. Mr. C. F.

Mr. Toombs, Mr. Solomon Hopkins, Mr.
Lee and eon, Mr. Bradbury and lady, Mr.
C. S. Ste Wart, Mr. Kelly, Mr. A. Sheet
land, and others, are passengers.
The news from Turkey and the East
indicate farther disturbances. There has
been a change of ministry at Constanti
nople.
The French Chambers were opened by
a speech from the king on the 27th ult.—
Every thing was quiet at Paris, and the
reduction of the army was progressing.
There had been several frightful rail
road accidents in England, attended with
extensive loss of life.
The Queen Dowager is said to be con•
valescent—but some of the papers express
doubts of the fact, and suppose the announce•
ment made to prevent nny gloom being
thrown over the approaching festivities at
Windsor.
The attentions shown to Lord Morpeth
in this country aro spoken of by the Eng
lish press, especially the more liberal
portion, with much pleasure.
From tho Morning Chronicle
Special Mission to the U. States.—
Lord Ashburton's appointment has been
favorably received in commercial circles,
and given a tune of confidence to the holders
of State S:ocks. His lordship's appoint.
meat will be acceptable to the Americans,
as the Messrs. Barings have been for ma
ny years most extensively engaged in
American affairs, and, in fact, the agents
of the American Government in monetary
operations. His lordshtp is besides a cif'.
zPn ot the great republic, and one of the
largest landed proprietors, - too, n'the State
of Pennsylvania. His talents as a man of
business are well knnnwn. He is one of
the largest householders in the United
States, and Lady Ashburton (late. Miss
Bingham) is anAmerican by biith. Well
versed in the history and value of State
bonds, and of the peculiar structure of the
American constitution, he will be able to
press upon the attention of the Americans
the necessity of punctual provision for the
public engagements. The Americans
themselves are the greatest sufferers by the
distrust with which their securities are
looked upon, for they are thereby deprived
of one of their principal means of support
ing their own prosperity, and, until their
credit be restored, their trade and menu I
factures must be in a depressed condition.
But a satisfactory arrangement of their
differences with this country is, in the first
place, absolutely necessary, as a prelude to
the future happiness and werare of the Uni-
I on; and this important object, we trust, will
now be accomplished.
France. j2 --The whole of the person@ ac•
cused of having taken part in the attempt
to assassinate the royal dukes, as well as
those charged with being concerned in the
complot to which the attempt is said to
have originated, have been found guilty,
with the exception of Prioul.
Quenisset, the principal Columbier, the
owner of the wine-shop, and Just Brazier,
are condemned to death. Dufour having,
no doubt, cnnfessed, is sentenced to direr.

to five years' detention, and Bazin under

lt is understood that the life of Quenisset
will be spared. Speculations differ as to
the fate . of the Colombier and Brazier;

The armaments continue at the port°

for such demonstiations. Jealousy 'of

for the Sultan indulging in so much unnec

A. large expedition. consisting of thirty
thousand men, has been disembarked on
the coast, with a tew of destroying the
grain which had been collected by the Cir
cassians after the harvest, when a storm
having suddenly risen drove the ships from
their anchorage.
The Ctrcamians, availing themselves of
opportunity, assailed them fiercely on ev
ery side, and the Russians, separated from
their stores, 'which had been carried out to
sea, were compelled to commence a disas
trous retreat through a country consisting
entirely of mountain forest and defile.
With the exception of twa thousand who
escaped to Anapa, the whole of the thirty
thousand were killed or made prisoners;

remained behind in order to take up the
luggage to town, where he was to meet his
brother, and they were to make rapid pre
parations for settling in Germany. Their
plans were, however, frustrated. Maurice
Pitcher, upon calling at Messrs. Bult's to
get the bill accepted, found himself most
awkwardly situated, a police off'cer named
Forester having made preparations for his
reception. Forester subsequently appre
hended George Augustus Pitcher in bed,
with a bandage round his waist, containing
American bank' notes to the amount of K.

MONDAY'S PROCEEDINGS.
Correa!) . onJeuce of the Baltimore Patriot.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 24, 1841.
UNITED STATES SENATE.
The Senate chamber was full to over
flowing this morning. The attendance
was great beyond all precedent, and every
accessible foothold was full to overflowing.
The doorways were all blocked up; so much
so, that it was almost impossible to gain ad
mittance.
The memorials remonstrating against
the repeal of the Bankrupt law came in ve
ry numerously this morning. Between
ten and twenty were presented by Mr.
Tallmadge, with the proceedings of a N•
Y. meeting. Those proceedings were read.
Among the resolutions introduced and
adopted, one only was of interest, and that
introduced by Mr. King, of Alabama, who
proposes that ttie two Houses of Congress
bring their respective sessions to an end
on the 30th of May next. This would give
us six months legislation Lir the present
session, and four months to come. It
Congress commence the limitation of the
time now, the result would be more legisla•
Lion in the country. The resolution was
laid upon the table, with notice by the mo•
ver, that it would be called Jp to•morrow.
The resolutions submitted some time
since by Mr. Clay, proposing to amend the
Constitution in regard to the veto and other
powers, were called up as the special order
of the day.
Mr. any commenced his speech as soon
as his resolutions were read, and with the
most perfect silence around him, notwith
standing the groat audience which surroun
ded him. Mr. C. commented with a brief
reference to his motives which had prompt
ed the introduction of the resolutions. The
amendments had been introduced fur good
purposes.
Mr. Preston commenced a reply to Mr.
Clay between three and four o'clock.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
As soon as the Journal was read, which
was mostly taken up with Mr. Adams, and
the various efforts to obstruct his speech.
Mr. Adams said, he presumed he might
now proceed with his remarks.
The Speaker replied,that under the rules
of the House, the gentleman could only pro
ceed by leave, if any member objected.
Mr. And rews objected.
Mr. Fillmore asked leave to submit se
veral reports from the Committee of Ways
'and Means, that they might be printed and
ready for the action of the House. Oh•
jeclions were made.
Mr. %Vise then moved that Mr. Adams
have leave to proceed, and upon this mo
tion the yeas and nays were demanded, and
were ayes 76, noes 91. So the House re.
fused the permission.
Mr. Wise rose, he said, in his turn, to a
question of privilege. The House has let
loose the gentleman from Massachusetts, in
all his wrath, (cries of order) .to attack him
—to read a letter of his (Mr. W.'s) and con.
meet upon itptow ho wished Inave,in his turn
to reply to the remarks of the gentleman
from Massachusetts.
Here the (Adr was called upon to de
cide whether the question claimed to be a
privileged one by Mr. W. was really such.
The Speaker said questions of privilege
were always for the House to decide, inas
much as they were of the highest clime
ter, involving the rights of individual mem
bers.
Mr. Campbell, of S. C., appealed from
this, insisting that the Chair was bound to
decide.
The Howe, on division, sustained the
Chair.
A message was received from the Senate
(vide Senate report.)
Mr. Vise's motion, for leave to answer
Mr. Adams, was then submitted, under a
motion to lay the same on the table. The
yeas and nays were called tor, and resulted
in ayes 101, noes 78.
Mr. Wise then rose and withdrew the
question upon the reception of the petition,
(out of which all this debate had arisen,)
and the petition being received, and the
instructions of Mr. A. to the Committee on
Foreign Relations giving rise to debate, it
was laid over.
PETITIONS
Mr. Adams presented a petition from
Abolitionists, for a dissolution of the
Union!. ‘v
Much sensation was created.
Mr. Hopkins asked if it would. be in or
der to move that the petition be burned in
presence of the House?
Mr. Adams. Ah ! 1 did not expect ob.
jections to it in that quarter.
Mr. Wise said something about a mo
tion for censure, and asked some question.
Mr. Turney moved that this petition be
printed, that the country might see where
such movements came from•
Numerous motions were made, and fi.
nally an adjournment moved, and by yeas
and nays negatived, there being ayes 49,
noes 87.
Mr. Gilmer then submitted a resolution
that the gentleman from Massachusetts,
in presenting the petition (above referred
to) had justly incurred the censure of the
House.
The House was again thrown into some
commotion, which resulted in an ordei for
a call of the House. 108 members answer
ed to their names.
A motion for adjournment was again
made and carried on division; so at o'-
clock, the House adjourned.
TUESDAY'S PROCEEDINGS.
WAsumaroN, Jauuary 25, 1F.4'2.
UNITED STATES SENATE.
The Journal having been read, the bust.
ness commenced with a message from the
President of the United States, transmitting
accounts.
About one hundred memorials were
presented this morning, remonstrating
against the repeal, postponement or amend'
ment of the Bankrunt kw.
Mr Clay's resolution, proposing no inqui
ry into the exprdiency of reporting a . bill
giving to the States not declining to receive
the public domain, the amount of laud re
fu - sed by other States declining to receive
their portion of the domain, was called up,
and further postponed.
The morning business occupies the time
of the Senate to a very hie hour, when at
2 o'clock the Senate proceeded to the con
side ration of the General Bankrupt Bill.
The bill was announced as in Commit.
tee of the ‘Vhole, having had a second
reading.
Mr. Berrien, as Chairman of the Com
mittee on the Judiciary, took occasion to
express his views upon the Bill and with
great freedom.
Mr. Biiirien soon after three o'..lock,
yielded the floor on a motion made Mr•
Binitington, of Conticcticut, to go into
Executive siession.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Mr. Adams made some trivial correc
tions of the Journal in reference to his
own motions, and Omer: gave way to
Mr. Fillmore, who moved a postpone.
ment of the regular business belore the
House; which, on division, was carried, and
Mr. F. then reported various appropriation
bills of thb usual character, viz Civil and
Diplomati6 s Arrny and Navy, Indian H e .
partment, Pensions, &c &c. together with
sundry resolutions discharging the con►-
mittee from the consideration of the several
subjects, and giving them a reference to
other committees.
Mr. F. said that all the reports of the
committee haying been made, he moved
that the House now take up the Treasury
note bill and act upon the amendments of
the Senate. The bill having been read,
Mr. Cooper asked if it would be in order
to move that the bill and amendments be
laid upon the table, and, being responded
to affirmatively, lie made the motion, which
was taken by yeas and nays, and resulted—
ayes 82, noes 111.
Mr. Sprigg commenced a speech, or
rather proposed when he commenced, to
make a few preliminary remarks before in•
troducing an amend mem. Ho was proceed
mg with them, occasionally creating some
laughter by hie eccentricity of matter and
manner, when one o'clock having come
round,
Mr. Gilmer interrupted the gentleman,
for the purpose of calling up his resolution
(censuring Mr. Adams) of yesterday.
Mr. Fillmore hoped the House would
give another to tho bill and thought it
might be disposed of. But a different dis
position being manifested, a motion was
made to lay Mr Gilmer's
table, and the yeas and f

my earliest efforts said Mr. M. were .di
ry \ cted towards the elevation of that vener
able gentleman to the highest office in the
nation. The family name which I bear,
in common with that of his are associated
in the annals of the Republic. If this pe
tition had been introduced from any other
quarter, it might not have been received
with so much intensity of feeling; but a
proposition to pull down this georgeous
temple of liberty, coming from one who
had ministered at the altar as the very high
priest, was so monstrous that he could not
view it without the dt epest feelings of
borrow and indignation.
Mr. M. concluded his brief support of
his resolution, with a declaration that, if he
knew his own heart, he would have invok
ed the same censure upon his own father, if
he had been Cie instrument of so deep a
wound upon the honor and safety of the
Republic.
After Mr. M. sat down the Speaker said,
that by courtesy the gentleman from Mas•
sachusetts, would lie entitled to the floor
if he saw proper to take it.
Mr. Adams then lose slowly, and be
gan by askipg what had taken possession of
the ideas and judgment of the gentlemen
from Kentucky?
He called for the reading of the first
part of the Declaration of Independence,
and when it had been done, •there" said
Mr. A. is what the petition 1 have presen
ted is based upon. , The right of the people
to alter or throw off any form of government
when it has become grevious and oppres
sive.
Mr. Adams briefly defended himself from
the charge of "high treason" which had
been so grossly levelled at him, and said
that he had been particularly cautious be
fore he presented this petition to inform
bimetal(' of the fact of its being genuine,
and when he presented it, to do it in such a
form as to show what hi's veritable object
was. Now, said Mr. A. is not the time to
go into the whole merits of this subject,
but when the House had acted upon the
question before it, he hoped to be able to
defend himself, and td show that on attempt
to control the affiairs of the Republic by
a coalition of Northern Democrats with
Southern Slaveholders; had been geing on
for seven years paSt, and that unless it
were arrested, it would inevitably lend to
what'he desired to show these pi tltioners tt
was not yet time for them to bring forward,
viz: dissolution of this Union. ,
When Mr. A. had finished,
Mr. Everett made a few energetic re
marks upon the magnitude of the subject

and moved a postponement of the resolution

tees was a violation of the 21st rule.
Mr. Vise's response to this was that
there was a word which rhymed with rule
which might give some idea of the gen
tlemen calling to order for this, There
was no call to order for this and Mr. Vise
proceeded and is now speaking at i• to 4
o'clock, when I close.
WEDNESDAY'S PROCEEDINGS.
WAslintrrori, Jan. 26, 1 4 42
UNITED STATES SENATE.
Mr. Smititi' of Indiuna, presented a me
n►orial from twenty-three citizens of India
na, asking for the repeal of thu General
Bankrupt law. Mr. S. gave his reasons
for not conforming to the request of theso
petitiowtre-
Mr. Berrien was entitled to the floor in
continuation of his remarks began yester
day, in opposition to the repeal of the bank
rupt law, and in ftvor of a Bankrupt Bill ai
a permanent law of the hind.
Mr. Berrien concluied before three
o'clock, and was followed by Mr. Smith, of
Connecticut, after an ineffoctual area to
adjourn. Mr. S. wished he said, to speak
for Connecticut, and so speaking, ho would
undertake to say that nine-tenths of the
people of his State were opposed to a gen
eral Bankrupt law. Mr. S. also argued at
Brent_lh against the retrospective lea
, bill. He is upon the floor when
'or REPRESENTATIVES.
e continued his speech against
and Abolitionists, foreign and
pto the time of adjournment
which was a little after 4 o'•
more endeavored, after the,
finished, to get up the consid
a Note Bill, but
chose 'to conettude whet
to say, at this time.
House adjourned yesterday,
I was chewing the existence
terference in ourtfFuirs. Mr.
3uld read from a high nutho
the truth of what he alleged?
an extract from a ,work by
ley, which stated that emis
is country hod gone to En
gland, and asked for British prayers, Brit.
ish influence, and it need be, British mon
ey! to aid their antislavery efforts.
M r . %V. then made some comments u
pon the New York and Virginia contro
versy.
He would appeal, he said, to the bone
and muscle id the country, the true democ
racy, in behalf °fan institution where, and
where only, white mon were all upon an
equality.
Mr. W. then passed to an examination
of the causes of controversy with England,
the first of which was the N. E. Boundary
of Maine, Maine which had never support
ed the House of Braintree; there is a place
called "Braintree," as well as one called
"Accomac," and the Braintree family have
never found supporters in the democracy
of Maine.
Mr. W. then passed to the Orregon
question, and British aggression in that
quarter, and ho called upon the Now Eng
land delegation, upon the member from
Nantucket, to come forward and help him
in procuring the establishment of a Naval
depot there, not to furnish a convoy for
the slave-trade; but a prorection for the
whale fishery.
Mr. %V. then took up the subjects of the
emancipation of slaves in Jamaica, the war
with China, the Creole case, and the ef
forts of the British party here to procure
the recognition of Hayti. Yea, said Mr.
W., we are called uplift to admit a "nigger"
with his black skiioiiiid woolly head to this
Hall and the Senate Chamber, where he is
to be welcomed as an equal with gentle
men—taken by the hand and entertained,
and he is to give entertainments in his
turn. This, said Mr. VV-, is what I call
amalgamation; real, social amalgamation
The British party here is determined In
break down the South, and to drive her
out of the Union, not only by warring' upon
her institutions, but by forcing upon her as
unconstitutional, oppressive, unequal nod
unjust TorifF.
He had alluded ton war with England,
but did not wish to be misunderstood. He
desired no inch result. England, es the
land of his arcestors, as the birth place of
Milton, Shakspea re, tied Locke, ho venera
ted, but it was. Eitelish pride, inselence,and
fanaticism, aguinst_which he arrayed him
self.
[Some remark wide!) Mr: Moms !wide
yesterday, when the Farewell Address of
Washington was re. d by the Clerk, was
alluded ti) by Mr. Wi,e, h a t he was cor
rected in his print by Mr. A. end otherk,
and nchnowlerLted his error.]
I am glad, said Mr. W. loaf I did mis
understand the gentleman from Massachu
setts, that ho did not speak disrespectfully
of the father of his country:bin if he still
venerated - his memory, how much more
ou4lit he to love his country. !low can he,
who has done so much for his country,
and received so much from it, how can he,
now, b 3 the one to apply tip; torch of dis•
cord, and the instrument for breaking up
the Union!
But the gentleman from Massachusetts
seeks to excuse himself for what he has
done, by declaring that he is desirous to
show these petitioners that they are too
hasty; that the time had not arrived fur
adopting the course they propose; they
must wait a little longer; yes, a little lon
ger, - and, meanwhile, agitate—keep up the
contention, and if the &nth still persist in
maintaining their rights, than it will be
time to bring up this proposition, and bee
what is to be done with it.
Mr. Wise said that when the question
was taken upon this resolution, he should
ask to be excused from voting. [The re
porter could not understand the ground
upon which Mr. W. designed to decline.
Mr. W. then alluded to the charge of
monomania against Mr. Adam-I, hut said
he (Mr. W.) believed him to be far more
wicked than weak.
After some further remarks in the same
strain, Mr. W. closed with stating that,
if in his power, the question upon the
reception of this petition should be brought
to a direct vote, that it might be made a
teat vote, to see who were the friends of
this Union, and who were not.
Several gentlemen tried to get the floor,
.but Mr. Adams rose to a point of order and
sent to the Chair the point in writing; it
was to the effect that the House had no
right to entertain a resolution which
charged him with the commission of crimes
over which the House had no jurisdiction,
and in which, if they assumed jurisdiction,
they would deprive him (Mr. A.) of his
constitutional right.
Mr. Adams then called for the reading
of that portion of the Constitution which
provides that every citizen charged with
crime shall have a speedy and impartial
trial by a jury of his peers.
There said Mr. A. is the law; now this
resohtion charges me with two crimes
subornation of perjury, and high treason,
and for those crimes (mark the bathors,)
this Home is called upon to censure mel
We are obliged to close— there is great
sensation throughout the hall and galleries.

consideration of the Bill to re

HOUSE OF REPRESEN
The angry discussion whit
yesterday, continued for Some time after
wo folded up our report.
When the brief Journal of yesterday was
finished,
Mr. Botts rose and requested the gen
tleman from Massachusetts to withdraw
his question of the right of the House, to
consider the resolution of Mr. Marshall.
Mr. Adams protested against the right
of the House to try him upon the grounds
set forth in that resolution, and could
riot withdraw this protest. Ho was
content to let the House vote at once
—to shut his mouth after five hours
invective against himself, because the
business of the country was suffering,
and whatever might be the decision of the
House, he should lay the whole affair be•
fore his constituents.
Some conversation ensued between the
Speaker and various members, about the
question before the House, its nature and
effect.
The Speaker said the question was not
debateable, and was, whether the House
had jurisdiction in the matter.
The question was taken by yeas and
nays, and decided in the affirmative, ayes
117, noes 75.
Before the above question was decided,
Mr. Cushing called for the reading of
the record, and insisted that the question,
as by the record, was not to the jurisdic
tion oldie House, but whether the House
would now consider the veselut►im. [Many
members here changed their votes.]
Mr. Underwood got the floor, and said
he would prove, before ho took his seat,
that the House had no]urisdiction in this
c'►se, and that it was a palpable violation
of the Constitution for them to assume it.
1 deny the right of this House to go before
the civil tribunal, to take any stops in ad.
vance of the civil authorities, in cases of
crime, when thine authorities, and they
alone, have jurisdiction.
After Mr. U. had done with the exami
nation of the question at issue, he turned
to the subject of abolition, end hero he
made a most affecting appeal to the abo- 1
Inionists. lie knew that in a few years
they would be in a majority, and he called
upon them now to show their hands—to
say what they meant to do in such a case?
Did they intend to separate from their
angle Saxon brethren? Would Ohio throw
brethren of Kentucky, who had al
nod by her in times of peril. Here
Mr. U. was affected so much as to weep,
and
Mr. Giddings announced in a candid
and lionerable manner, that for.. One, he
would never desert his 4rethrou from Ken•
tueky—nor did he believe that any aboli
tionist would- All they asked was, that
. .
they might be Aoeurad.fiorn the necessity
of supporting slavery itself.
M r. U. wanted some explanation of what
was meant by a severnace, and
Mr. Giddings would have explained, but
a gentleman objected, and
Mr. U. continued at some length to op
pose the resolution of Mr. Marshall and
warned the House how they adopted it, '
and send the gentleman from Mass. a ,mar.
tyr to the right of petition.
Mr. Botts succeeded Mr. U. and began
by observing that he could not so far forgot
the respect duo to himself, es..to say any
thing to wound the feelings of. the venera

payments in 20 days after its passage, has passed

Senate.
A Blow Up:
It was rumored in Philadelphia on Wednesday
last, that the notes of the Girard Bonk of that
city would. not be received in deposini in ono or
two of the Banks in the adjoining districts—a
run upon the Bank was the consequence; and she
continued to redeem her $5 notes up to the hour
of adjournment. On Thursday, however, her
doors were not opened. She has no doubt given
up the ghost ore this time.
ANOTHER FAILURE
‘Vm learn from the Baltimore Patriot, that
"John Clark, a private Banker, and issuer of
small notes, whose office was_ situated in the
Museum Buildings, failed on Thursday last to
redeem his obligations. The first intimation
given to the public of the fact was, that ho had
locked up his office and left it. Whence his
sojourn we wot not. Certain it is,however, that
be has failed, and that his shinplasters have been
rendered worthless."

found in to day's paper:
To the Congress of the United States.
The undersigned citizens of Haverhill,
in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts,
pray that you will immediately adopt mea
sures peaceably to dissolve the Union of
these States—
First: Because no Union crrn be agreea

prospects of reciprocal benefits.
Second: Because a vast pioportinn of the
resources of one section of the Union ie
annually drained to sustain the views and
course of another section without any ade
quate return.
Third: Because (judging from the histo
ry of past nations) that Union, if persisted
in, in the present course of things, will cer
tainly overwhelm the whole nation in utter
destruction.

BALTIMORE AND OHIO RAIL ROAD
ORDERS
A very large meeting was held in Baltimore
last week, for the purpose of again considering the
condition of the currency, and devising means to
maintain at par the issues of the Baltimore and
Ohio Rail Road company. Several resolutions
were adopted, which, in substance coincided with
those offered some days since at a meeting held at
the Exchange in that city.
It was agreed to discountenance brokers
and all persons who aided in depreciating
the value of Rail Road orders. Also to
receive and pay out these notes at par—to
liquidate rents with them give no notes
of hand but such as should be made paya
ble in Rail Road orders, and to estimate
the present currency as the best our State
affords.
It was also resolved that a speedy re
sumption of specie payments by the banks
of this State, was imperiously necessary.
It was also resolved to repudiate and ex
chide from circulation the issues of indi
viduals and smaller institutions, so that the
stock orders might take their place. After
the resolutions were unanimously adopted
the meeting adjourned sine die.
FROM HARRISBURG.
Correspondence or the Gettysburg Star and Banner
HAnuisuntm, Januany 21, 1842
Dear Sir:—l presume the loco faces of Adans
who are solitary and alone in the greet work of
Bank resumption, will soon become impatient•
with the legislature for not taking immediate ac
tion upon the subject. Adams County is alone
entitled to the credit of memorializing the legis
lature for the repeal of the revenue bill of last
session, and (or a resumption of specie payments.
Mr. Penniman with his usual anti•hank zeal, it
will be recollected, reported ri bill at a very early
day tricompel.the resiinipliou of eßeyie t _payinents.
and Mr. Gaintile with did feast possible . delay, re.
ported a bill in the House' providing. for the re
payment of the loan authorized by the act of 4th
May, 1841, and tho resumption of specie pay
ments by the Banks; yet with all this apparent
zeal and pretended love for the dear people, they
have suffered those bills to slumber en the files
of the respective Houses, without even so much
as an effort to proceed to their consideration. It
appears to me to be a great dereliction of duty on
the part of those truly democratic gentlemen, thus
to neglect the performance of that duty'so love.
riously demanded by a suffering people, the pro_
motion and preservationof whose interests they
always so strenuously advocate. Surely it cannot
be that .t.A change Las come o'er the spirit of
their dreams."
Let it be remembered by the people that if a
resumption does not take place soon, that with
the party in the majority here, rests the responsi
bility. The W bigs so tar as I have any means of
judging, are ready to a man to go for resumption.
It has been intimated by some that a knowledge
of this fact is the reason why those anti bank lo
co locos are so tardy in their operati one, and so
indifferent in regard to commencing the great
work of reform, which has been so long and un
ceasingly rnng in the ears of the people. Do
they suppose that if the Whigs all go for re.
sumption, that political capital will be exhaustedl
Come gentlemen—come up boldly to the work
while the Whigs are willing to unite with you,
and let the people for once see that you are rea
dy to practice what ou preach. There is no
fear that your effertstin a good cause will be
thwarted, by a combination of unprincipled
Whigs and a few recreant, bank bought members
of your own party. tIP
A resolution proposing to amend the Coned.
turn so as to prohibit hereafter any bank suspen
sions, passed the House unanimously, without one
disonting voice being raised, greatly to the do.
trimout of loco foco capital.
The bill providing for the erection of .a new
county out of parts of Beaver, Mercer and But
ler was ordered to :Le transcribed for a third rea
ding by a very small majority.
In the Senate, but little of importance was
transacted; no Executive nominations acted
upon.
HAILIIIBDURO, January 20, 1819
Dear Sir:—Messrs. M'Cahen and Roumfort
presented several remonstrances from citizens of
various portions of the county of Adams against
the passage of any act regulating the grantpg-.of
tavern licenses for the county of Adams alone.
The committee on the Judiciary system to
whieh was referred the bill for the abolition of
capital punishment, reported the same to the
House as committed, with a recommen •
dation that the House negative the bill. Mr.
Sherwood submitted a long report on behalf of
himself and Mr. Stevens a minority of tho Com
mittee, dissenting from the course recommended
to the House in regard to the bill by the majority
of the committee; five hundred copies of the bill
together with the report of the minority have
been ordered to he printed.
The bill for the erection 'of a new county out of
parts of Beaver, • Mercer and Butler, was again
iinder considoratii:n on third reading. A motion
to pospone the further consideration of it until
this day three weeks was agreed to. Various
other bills of a local character were passed
through their several readings.
In the Senate the noruination of Jacob 'Grosh
to be an associate Judge fur the county of Lan•
caster was confirmed. yeas 18. nays 14—nb
sent filr.Brooke. This is the samo Creel', who
was rejected by the Senate last session.
HAnarannua, January 27,1842
Dear Sir:—ln the first place, let me inform
you of the recent doings of the Governor; he has
appointed Levi Reynolds of Mifflin county, and
Geo. M. Hollonback of Luzerne county to be
Canal Commissioners for the ensuing three years
from the first of February next. Mr. Butler, ap
pointed a short time since, to supply the vacancy
occasioned by the death,of Hugh Keys, has been
re appointed. Hundreds of applicants for ap
pointments to the various offices in the gift of
the Canal Commissioners are now thronging to
the place.
In the House a resolution was adopted instruc
ting the Judiciary committee to inquire into the
expediency of reporting a bill legalizing the issue
of State script by the Towanda and Erie hanks,
above the amount authorized by the act of 4th
May last. Several bills of a private character
wore passt.d.
A bill to prevent any interference of the Nich
olhon Cot 'with the title of land quieted by the
Board of Property, agreeable to the act of 1826,
was passed through Committee of the Whole
and on second reading, after having been discuss
ed at considerable length, by Messrs. Elwell, ISte•
vans, Shorewood and Leet in favor of, and
Ale-Gant t Bonsalt t Eefiird, Boon and Gamble in
opposition to, its passage. '
In the Senate a lengthy debate was had on a
series of resolutions on the subject of resumption,
introduced by Mr Ewing, in which Messrs. Ew
ing, Sullivan, McLanahan and Spackman partici
pated; before Mr. Spackman, bad concluded his
remarks, the Senate adjourned.
There has been quite a sensation created hero
in consequence of the conduct of the Girard
Bank. Yours &c.
Dear Sir:—ln the House, a resolution was
submitted this morning, authorizing a committee,
appointed a few days since to make certain inqui
ries in relation to the Nicholson lands, to visit a
number of the counties in which these lands lie,
for the purpose of ascertaining some ft.cts con
nected therewith, and reporting them to the
House. After some discussion, the resolution
was negatived by a large majority. There is but
little disposition on the part of the Housn to
encourage travelling committees. They are
always attended with much more expense, then
the benefit derived from them by the State.
The House then proceeded to the consideration
of the bill in relation to the Nicholson court, and
after various efforts to postpone, to resolve into
committee of the whole for amendment, it was
passed by a large majority.
ln.the Senate, the resolution of Mr. Ewing in
relation to the . rorreney was discussed at great
length by Meigrs. M'l.anahan, Sullivan, Spaelt
man . and othenr; but before the vote was had, the
Senate adjourned. Your's &c.
