Recognition Of HyH. Tho deba'o in the House
today. was Of a very pointed and extraordinary
kind, ar you viii see from the sketch of 1t which
add IT. as Mr. Adams says, there * ingenuity
displayed 10 The mode Of suppreesng petitions,
there Is certainly still more displayed by the pblo-
aboitlonsts, IN the mode Of keeping up the dis
cusslon Of the subject IN the House. The South
is now daily fops,ed before a slow FIRE. How
they can eiaud 1t ! cannot conceive. They are
kept IA perpetual torture by the movements and
defamation rf Mr. Adams and his supporters Mr.
Adams IS ha'd customer. He Is Ingenious, bold
and perllnsclous, aud to put him down is ;mposs-
bic. They dare not attempt Il. Mr. Bouldln has
perhaps, struck ulon the right course, when be
proposes to receive, refer aud answer, all petitions.
It might, as he snpposes, give more quiet to the
House and the country. than the course now pur.
sued. Mr. Thompson Of s. G. is Of opinion that,
# he North discuss the matter, the Soath must
bring 1t to an issHe-Ond either recedo or take
some other decisive course
The House took up he motion Of Mr. Adams t.
refer Hayden petition presented by him to the
CON. Of Foreign Affairs with instructions 10 report
thereon.
The first par, Of the motion prevailed, and the
petition VAS referred
The question being neat on the motion to in
struct the committee to inquire and report on the
subject.
Mr. Adams said the petition for the recognition
of iiaStl was reasonable one and was in conform
ity with the uniform practice Of the Government
atknow lodged the night Of every Ieoplc o.
change their government, even by the process OF
instruction. We always recognized the govern
ment de Jdcto. He could not conceive for wha,
purpose the Committee ofths House were oppoln-
teu unless u "hs 10 consider such questions as
these, and the House would violate lhelr faitb ,o
:he nation, unless they attended to such important
/ subjects. Upon the subject OF the reacgutiou OF
Texas there was an inquiry aud detailed report.
II tins subject cannot be sosljgatcd where will
the suppression ofthe right of petition end Il
