| Mr. MITCHELL, one of the Representatives IN
Congress- from the State of Tennessee, in an adj
dress TO his constituents, speaks of the past and
present administration Of Mr. ADAMS, and in IL
! Iustration. informs us that Mr. MoNRoE's adini-
nistration was, in fact, the administration OF
| Mr. Adams. Whatever it was, Mr. Mitchell
cannot deny that it was supported blythe friends
| of General Jackson and Mr.. Calhoun; by the
very men who at that time unfurled the stand
ard on which the prominent inscription was
"measures not men," and who now, reversing
the motto, make the same banner float over The
ranks of an unhoy opposition. On one point
we fully accord with Mr. Mitchell; the prlnci-
piles and policy Of both administrations are /
Identified with each other, Notwithstanding the
advocates Of the one are the opponents OF the
other. The only change is in the men who are
out of authority and Office; and however they
NAV 10 their own consciences gloss over and
paliate their inconsistency, 1t will stand forth
before the people in its proper detormlty. DID
we require any new evidence to show the hete-
rogenous and discordant materials OF which this
opposition is formed, we should find ii IN the
collisions Of opinion, and contradictions IN facts,
which begin 10 be discoverable among those
who are its parisans. Mr.. Noah would prefer
the election of AIr. Adams BY the people to the
election of his own candidate by the House OF
REPRESENTATIVES. CrcGat Jadaeus! Who is Mr..
Noah's candidate? Mr. McDuffie will not Judge
of the Administration by It's acts. Mr.. Noah

one, which they are invoking Heaven and He'll
to defea, in The other. The spear of Ilhuriel in
new hands is dangerous instrument. Instead
showing us that Satan is in the shape OF the Pre-
sident, Mr.. Mitchell has touched the wrong OBJ
ject, and developed the Devil in the Opposition.

Mr.. McI.ane, was followed by MIR. Webster, oil
Massachusetts. who dsapproved Of the form OF the
amendment. as going TO instruct our Ministers, and
thereby 10 interfere, unconsttutionally, with the
duties of the Executive Department of the Govern
ment. He approved, however, of most of the

gested his throwing the amendment into the form
OF distinct proposition, TO be offered a resou-

Mr.. Powell, of Virginia, then took the floor,
and, in n speech of more than an hour, argued to
prove that the proposed meeting at Panama was
