give it credit as the expression of Southern
feeling or opinion.
Mr.. Thompson. of South Carolina, said
he should. at the proper time, endeavor to
answer the arguments of the report. lie
would only say then that it did not contain
South Carolinian arguments or opinions.
A more stale combination of argument
without reason, and Jesuitcal sophistry, he
had never seen; and he thought it ought to
be burnt by the common hangman. They
do not come up to the question, and say it
is unconstitutional for Congress to abolish
slavery in the District; but they intimate
that it is, and finally modify that intimation
by saying that it would be violation Of
the public faith. He understood the report
to deny the necessity of receiving aboli-
ton memorials; and if the chairman had
taken that ground at the commencement of
the controversy, much trouble would have
been spared. There were some subjects
on which he was afraid to trust his feelings;
but this was not one: and when such a
report was made, he could not slumbef a
moment, but took the first opportunity to
get the floor to denounceit He could not
say from what cause it arose, but scrtalnly
the report did not speak the sentiments OF
Southern men.
Mr.. Glascock, of Georgia, hoped the
usual course would be taken, and that the
report might be printed. The report was
very long, and it was almost Impossible
for any one to understand it from hearing
it read. He hoped this premature dis.
cussion would be stopped, and that the
question might be taken at once. He moved
ty print 10000 copies, but was willing to
take either ten or thirty thousand. lie
wanted creport to be placed in the hands
of the People.
4 dcsultorv debate was continued on the
subject without taking any question till the
hour arrived for the special order, the for
I tification bill which was taken up. After
spending some time upon it the bill
for the defence Of the western frontier was
taken up, and after various amendments OF
the Senate had been concurred in Mr.. Cam
brelng reported bill apPropriating $500,
900 for the suppression ofhostilities among
the Creek Indians. The House resolved
itself into committee ofthe whole to consl.
der the bill. The committee rose and re-
ported the bill after which by means of The
previous question, it passed all its readings.
From the Correspondence ofthe n. Y. Courier
& Enquirer.
/ WASHINGTON, NAY IL.
a great master of the human heart lays 1t
down somewhere, that there are two de-
grees in which the lie may be glven-the
one being the lie circamstanaal, and the
other the lie direct. The Globe presents
Mr.. Adams with the latter compliment this
morning, in regard to the cesson of the
province of Texas. Ifas rumor has often
declared, this gentleman had ever thrown
himself into the parental embraces of the
democratic party, he must by this time be
heartily sick of his new allies.
He bids fair, however, to call forth still
seyerer dcnunciatons from the party and the
party's organ. Mr.. Towncs, in the course
of his observations this morning, attempted
to trace tine commencement Of political
prescription to the period Of Mr.. Adams
glory, and alluded particularly to transfers
Of public printing made from heterodox 10
orthorodox printers, during the years In
which that gentleman was Secretary OF
State and President of the United States.
Mr.. Adams denied the charge most flatly.
and stated fact Of which, he said with
much emphasis, he did not know whether
General Jackson rouM hare any recollection
but for the truth of which he was himself
well able to vouch. The only single in.
stance in which he had ever removed aprln-
ter was in case in Tennessee, at the parfic.
ularpersonal request Of General Jackson
and his then colleague in the senate. MIR.
Adams had supposed that printer 10 be de.
cidedly favorable to General Jackson-who
said, that he once had been SO, but was no
longer so. The General requested he
might be removed, and he acas remored. Mr..
Adams then remarked, that neither as Sc.
cretary of State nor in tie more elevated sta.
ton which he subsequently held, had he
ever removed man from office on account
of political opinion. He knew that some
ofhis friends blamed him much for his course
in that particular, and he believed it would
be found in the historical works ofthe coun.
trv that this was the reason why he had not
been more successful in his political career.
