WASHINGTON Feb 14lh.
Mr. j. @. Adams has been the lion of the day
at one wing of the capitoI, and Perry Smith
/ from the once well represented state of Connec-
ticut, has been figuring away in the other wing.
The House suspended the rules, and made the
reception of petitions the order of the day. The
desks of almost all the members, all iro,l the
New England States, We're covered with these
numerous messengers from every highway and
hyway of this Republic, praying in all sorts
of prayers for all sorts of benefits Mr. Adams
who fora long time past has been wonderfully
quiet, for Alr Adams, made himself as he always
does upon such occasions, an object of special
interest and curiosity. Between three and four
hundred petitions We're piled up around him,
some of them from the far West, as well as the
East, ana many OF them iloni the South well
as from the North. The novelty of the petitions
afforded good deal of amusement of all pres
ent. One fellow who called himself an Amer-
can citizen prayed Congress to make him an
alien! Another petition aked Congress to build
a sCGU between the Slave and non Slave holding
Suites. One petition also prayed for the remov-
al Of the seat of Government, and another for
ceding the District back to Maryland and Virgin
a-one in regard to kidnapped negroes and All
other III regard to The ''ien tribes Of lsrn "-one
for ship canal through the lsthmus of Pana
nln,-a bu~heI against the annexation of Texas
and barre! for tile Abolition of Slavery. The
catalogue ended with budget of two hundred
and fifty eight petitions for resembling Mr. PAY
toms resolution of the 2lst of December. This
budget was from between thirty and forty thou
sand petitioners! MIR Patton, himself, moved to
lay ali the petitions upon the table.
The Senate-alus for the Senate--for three
days past was turned into kind of town meet
ing for the purpose of hearing another speech,
from another OF the Connecticut Senators, DE-
Niles, (doc1or OF what? whether the law, physc,
or divinity, know not) consumed tho time OF
the Senate Oil Monday, and Tuesday, and to.
day, Wednesday, Mr. Perry Smith has followed
in the footsteps Of his illustrous predecessor.-
THE Sub Treasury Bill, tie Government Bank
Bill mean, was before the Senate. Mr. Smith,
in his eXordium began thus,-"hlr President
am troubled with sort of a,--knd of a r1tmnt-
;ck8 in consequence of bad cold which has Civ
en- me the r!mat5z. l must therefore beg the
Indulgence of the Senate owing to my ipdispo.
;ton!" This eloquent otlium u speech of
more than four hours long-had rheumy effec4
lpon almost all in tie hearing of the honorable
Senator. The galleries were cleared as though
pestilence were left behind Senators friendly
o and opposed TO the bill, took up the line OF
march, and in few moments Mr. Smith was
speaking to himself, the President and the Seq
etary ofthe Senate.
