The House was occupied the whole
day bythe presentation Of petitions and
debates growing out of the same.
There wasquite ascene between John
Quincy Adams and the young lion
from Virginia Henry A Wise growing
out of the abolition and Texas petition
presented by the former. Mr. Adams
commenced on the call of Massachu-
sets by presenting petition against
the admission of Texas into the Union
lat the same time moving its reference
together v it'll 100 petitions ola similar
character, signed by 10000 persons
and presented at the special session to
IA select com nittee. Mr. Howard
moved their reference to ,he commit
tee on foreign relations. Mr. Wise
m,ved to lay the whole subject on the
table which was agreed to- Next
came the abolition petitions and when
Mr. \. moved their reference to the
committee on the District Of Co!um-
bia Mr. Wise became quite excited
and made the same motion which had
just been carried. twas so agreed
to and the first petition with those
presented at the special session were
laid upon the table. Nothing daunt-
ed (says the Baltimore Transcri pt)
Mr. A, drew out another petition and
his motion to refer met a similar fate.
The presentation of an abolition Pc
tltion from Pennsylvania caused Mr..
LAWYER of Alabama to object to its re-
ception hut he was over-rulrd by
vote IA to 60. Mr. Wise's motion a.
gain came in and it was laid upon the
table. Another petition for abolishing
slavery in all the territories of the U.
IS. caused Wise to become more agi-
tated and to exc'aim that ''he hoped
the vote ofthe House upon this would
lay all such papers on the table now
and forever"

The sub-Treasury bill, as it pass.

that seems to have been intended by
tae Executive party only for purpos-
es OF corruption. 1t provides tina,

ofthe Secretary ofthe Treasury, are
to ride from point to point throughout
the country, and to have whatever
salary the Secretary may think prop
er to grant them.
