NEW HAMPSHIRE LEGISLATURE.
BOSTON, June 25.- We learn from the Con-
cord Register that on w ednesday last, the follow
ing preamble and resolution, introduced into The
House of Representatives, by Mr. Wilson OF
keene, were called up for considerations, and after
loog debate, ON motion of MIR. Webster, of Bns
cawen indefinitely postponed. by vote of 1s7
Yeas 10 20 Nays.
&c I, being at ali times the right, and in times of
peculiar excitement, the ddty of the representatives
OF the people, freely express their opinion of pub
lie and their measures, and the present poslsre
OF our national affairs requiring the expression OF
such opinion:
Be ii therefore Rss0fred. Sc, Tina, the Lee
gisiature OF this State entertans the highest conf
dence in the talents. integrity and public services
OF John Quincy Adams, President of the United
States, and gives its cordial appreciation of the
general policy adopted, and the enlightened
sures pursued in the administration of he national
government"
Mr.. Wilson urged the adoption OF the above
solution in an able and eloquent speech Ia which he
a n he ard ali viz Of
Mr. Adsms- and be quoted precedents in defence Of
the measure. He concluded by remarking that he
should be constrained believe that those voting in
favour OF the poslponement were opposed to the
administration.
The motion TO postpone was advocated by
Messrs. Poverty Of Northumberland, Stiles OF
Temple, Corliss OF Haverhill Clark of Sandborn-
ton, French Of New London, Thornton OF Merri-
mack and Webster Of Boscswen.
MIR. Thornton was of opinion, that the subject
was premature. 1t appeared to him TO be an UNI
wauantsble attempt in the Legislature TO controuI
public feeling and give tone 10 public sentiment,
" Ii said he) the acts OF the present administration
accord with public sentiment and public feeling, it
requires no legislative resolves support it the
people have the ability te catch the spirit Of the
administration and if the spirit be pure, they pos.
sess the integrity to sanction and supper, ii''
Mr.. Webster protested against any inference
81 his opinions in regard he administration being
drawn either from his motion or his vote No such
inference, either way, could be airy and properly
made and be denied the right # the gentleman
from Keene to make it. II mig hit not be prudent
for the mover OF this resolution affirm, that eve
ry gentleman who should vote for the motion to
postpone, was opposed The administrations OF
this, however, be would judge. Possibly it might
be as well first TO see the result of The vote. He
said, that in voting to postpone the resolution, the
House would say nothing more and nothing less
than that, in consideration of all the circumsan
ces connected with the resolution, considered in all
lis relations and In all its bearings il was not expe.
dent TO act upon it,"
- He had his opinions and feelings, and yery
strong ones, on The question presented by this reso-
luton; but he should not this occasion, intimate
what they were. One opinion, however, on a mat
ter having some relation this subject, and bearing
upon it somewhat Importantly, he was perfectly
willing to avow here or elsewhere now and at all
lines Ian opinion not hastily formed, and from
which he should make haste very slowly to depart
In expressing that opinion he should not say any
Thing more than be meant. He did not intend to
use word that should be taken as surplusase.
Let (said he) the cause of the adminis,r alton in
New Hampshire be supported on just an liberal
principles not prescribing men by classes, nor
Tor past political opinions, honestly formed, indie
pendenily expressed, and honorably throughout
or let il not be supported at ALL -
. i1r. Wilson sgain replied, and very ably sup
ported the resolve. He adVerted to the arguments
OF the gentlemen opposed 10 him, and ia favor of
The motion for postponement-, and contended that
the resolve was proper in itself, and demanded by
the occasion and eKigencies of the pIesen; crisis "
