which he moved, and advocated at some
length. He stated that he would make no
motion in reference to the time for discussing
the question. He would be perfectly content,
n the House would assign a certain day for
The consideration Of the question. He gave
Dn,;cs however. that. unless the BOuse took
This course, he should Immediately present an.
other np,ition. and then join conclusions with
IN. Gentleman from Georgia on the question
,rha,h.r the non. reception of petition was
m encroachment on the right Of petition.
M Hammond did not rise, he said, to
;o;n conclusions with the gentleman, aud he
shouId refrain from the debate which the
Gentleman so warmly challenged. When the
House would take up the resolutions of the
gentlemen from Maine (Mr. Jarvis) he would
do himself the honor fully to present his
views on the subject. Until the House deci-
ded (said Mr.. H. upon those resolutions, no
abolition petition shall be received without
vote Of the House. His future course on the
subject should be regulated by the course Of
the House.
On motion of Mr.. Hammond, the motion
Of reception was laid 40 the table.
Mr.. Gushing then presented a petition from
sundry inhabitants of assachusetts, praying
u
the District of Columbia.
Mr.. Hammond objected to the reception
of the petition.
MIR. Gushing spoke at length in support of
the melton to receive the petition. going into
an elaborate constitutional view Of the right
Of petition, and maintaining that refusal to
receive the petition was equivalent to deni-
al of the right Of petition.
MIR. Garland, Of Va. spoke 10 reply to the
remarks Of the gentleman from Mass.
The House then adjourned.

The Senate this morning. after a few words from
Mr. Moore Of Alabama, killed the Abolition monster
at least wounded him sufficiently to him to
keep still for few days, by moving the posponemeM

Senate.
Mr.. Cu,hbert of Georgia resumed the regal speech
which he commenced few days since, in reply TO
Mr.. Webster. The little man, for he is very little
man both in body and mind, talked much about-a-
about nothing, unless perhaps it might be termed "a
logical, rhetorical mathematical, historical discourse
on geography and e.hics' which. If the wise men Of
Gotham can interpret, is more than can be done by
the wise men Of Washington.
Mr.. Hubbard Of New Hampshire followed with his
maiden speech in the Senate. His remarks were mo-
ese and brief for new Senator, being only two hours
10 the delivery OF them, and the speed sefbeng like
Cu,hbert's 10 reply to Daniel Webster. His speech

The House to-day have been engaged all sorts Of
contests: Abotion-printing bills-receiving bills
