Mr. SNYDER withdrew his objection, and
Mr.. ADAMS proceeded. He said that as there
appeared to be indisposition the part Of por-
tion of the House TO hear him farther upon this To-
pic, at this time he would abridge his remarks and
hasten TO a close. What he had said was intended
to enforce the objections which he had stated against
the proposed reference Of the memorials from Mas
sachuses TO the Committee Foreign Affairs
first that the subect-ma,ter of those memorials was
not appropriately referrible TO that committee; and
secondly that that committee was not, in ITSELF a
properly c :stituted committee for such a reference
inasmuch six out of nine Of the members com
posing 1t were already committed by feeling and
position adversely TO the object and prayer of The
petitioners. He had allowed himself, while urging
these objections, to make some remarks upon the
larry committed and by those sections Of country to
which they belong; and thence to argue against the
propriety OF The reference proposed by the member
from Maryland Nor was this objection, he con-
tended at all inconsistent with that respect which he
entertained towards the gentlemen composing that
committee, in every other point of view.
Mr. ADAMS urged a still further objection to the
reference, derived from the change which,
since the special session of Congress, it had been
thought properto make in the Committee on Foreign
Afairs-a change, the contemplation of which i'm
pressed him still more deeply with the belief that
that committee was decidedly adverse to the prayer
of these memorials. Three new members had been
placed upon that committee :. and, as il TO make ii
