From the Delaware Journal.

In the year 1903, John Quincy Adams
was Senator from Massachusetts. He
thought the measures of the government
were such as the exi.encies of the times
required, and he gave them his support
but majority Of his state were opposed to
these measures, and ofcourse he could not
correctly represent their views, and felt
himself bound in conscience TO resign his
seat, ard did SO accordingly. Now it is a
fact well known, that there are several Sen
ators in Congress opposed to the Admins
trSion and IFS measures, while the States
which they represent, are decidedly favor
able TO them. But do we hear Of any resig-
nations by those Senators, on that account?
We could mention at least seven Senators,
who would resign Immediately, had they
the conscience Of mr.. Adams, whom they
are opposing contrary to the will of their
own States.
We would, however, bcseech these gen.
temen, if they cannot bring their minds to
m actual and immediate resignation, that
thcy'would pcruse carefully, every morning
before breakfast, mr. Adams letter Of re :
siSnation to the Legislature of Massaehu-
sets.

ARCADEs. This plan of building, but
recently introduced into this country, com
bmcs, decidedly, more elegance and con
vcnlcnce as adapted TO Fancy and Dry
Goods business, than any other that has
hitherto been in use for those purposes. 1t
is about being adopted in most of the prin.
cipal cities Of the Union, and rcadcs will
soon become not only the most fashionable
resorts for shopping, but will form some OF
the principe architectural ornaments of
our best huiit cities. The site and plan Of
the building ofthis description, which has
just been commenced in this town, are, we
believe, superior to any in this country. II
is 10 extend from Westminster to Wey-
bosSct Street 225 feet in length, thus pre-
senting q front on each of these streets.
The plan adopted for these fronts was pre-
pared by mr.. Russell Warren of Bristol, af.
ter an examination of the Arcadcs in New
York and Philadelpoia, and is great Inn
provcmcnt upon both. The Corinthlan
order prevails, and the proportions, as pre-
seutcd in the draft, are finely adjusted.
Both the New York and Philadelphia plans
present narrow arches which necessarily
destroy much of the beauty and give an l.
dca of an entrance to some prison or strong
hold rather than to the temple Of fashion
and fancy. There is no grandeur to an
arch forming the segment OF circle, un-
less il be of immense proportions, and con-
nectcd with some stupendous or heavy
structure. The long drawn oval arch Is
much more pleasing to the eye. Mr. War
ren's plan gets over this difficulty very ju.
diciously, by avoiding the external appear
ance of the arches, and throwing the pit
lars out from the dead work, which thu.
stand in their proper place, supporting the
supers,ructure, and give n considerable
space for promenade in front The hgh,
Of stairs, which run up TO the second story
IN this space. instead representing an swk
