Mr.. Adams with Increased vrlcmencr continued in
the same strain for about two hours, and ended by
moving for Committee 10 enquire into the loss OF the

SterS presence in the House excited great interest," ana
many anxious and curious eyes continually turned
the right hand door where he was seated; but no one
who saw that dark brow aud deep SIT eye but must have
felt assured of his abundant power 10 sustain himself
under aggression.
