The proceedings Of Congress on the 10Th
will be found in the letter Of our correspon-
dent. AT that date, no message had been
delivered. The discussion about the con-
tested seats Of the New Jersey members was
still going on, and the excitement was una
batcd. Mr.. Hunter, the new Speaker, is
what is called a Sub Treasury Wing. Our
correspondent remarks on his e.ection:-
sThe effect Of it was not realsxed until the
result was known. The applause which
broke forth from the crowded galleries,
when Mr.. Adams announced the result, and
when the House adjourned, was evidence of
the feeling which was thereafter to be ex-
cited. Last evening it was the absorbing
subject of conversation in the political cir
cles of the city, and to-day it is as much a
matter Of surprise. The Administration
members, you will see, were defeated in
their first and second choice of men, and de-
feated altogether. Every Wing member of
Congress but two voted for Mr.. Hunter; and
the two, Mr.. HAYES, Of Ky, and Mr. Kemp
shall, Of N. Y, would have voted for him had
they been in the city. Per contra to this,
Mr.. Hunter was opposed by every Admins
tration members Of the House, but two Of
the South Carolina delegation, Mr. Pickens,
and Mr.. Campbell. The election is Justly
claimed as a Wing triumph, and will have a
good effect upon the House of Representa-
tives, and the Wing prospects in the coun-
try. Among the Wings in the city, the re-
suit is considered as the most cheering event
which could have happened.
WASHINGTON, Dec. Goth.
The New Jersey war still RACES as write,
and an unhagging interest is kept up in the
great subject. Impatience to bring the sub
ject to an issue is mingled with the debate,
and before close my letter the debate may
be closed. John. Quincy Adams has made
a speech of great ability to-day, and one
which, as is always the case, has created no
little excitement upon the floor Of the House.
Not less than ten members united to prevent
him from making speech, and others,
when it was half concluded, united as zeal
ously to oppose its continuance. Mr.. Adj
ans, in spite of all opposition, fought his
way to the end Of his speech, two hours
long, and, although embracing no new points
of argument, containing many important
facts, illustrative ofthe strong points of pre-
yious arguments. Mr.. Adams battled down
the point of order, by contending that his
point of order was above all the others. 1t
was question of privilege question: en-
bracing all others-one Of constitutional
and legal character, and not, he told the
Speaker, who interrupted him, to be ridden
over by any other question.
The broad ground upon which Mr.. Ad-
ans based his speech, was, that the New
Jersey men were here, as the regularly
commissioned and constitutionally elected
members-here by that clause Of the con-
stitution which allowed State representa-
ton, and especially BY an apportionment
law Of Congress, that gave New Jersey SIX
members Of Congress-. He repudiated the
tie vote Of the inorganic body, as be called
the amestiug Of Members prior to the
choice Of Speaker. BY an act Of God
said Mr.. Adams, we were deprived Of one
Lmember from Massachusetts; Of the pres
