Mr. Ingcrsoll obtained tho floor nt 4
O'Clock, and commenced an elaborate
speech on his motion to reconsider the

ans, resembling the = ! ST rule in relation to
abolition petitions. Mr.. Ingersoll set
out with the intention of demonstrating
the identity of the African movement in
England with the question of Abolition
in the United States and in the course
of his remarks he alluded to the speech
of Mr.. Adams, last week, when the lat
ter had, he understood, said, that in case
OF servile war, there would be an end
Of the Constitution.
Mr.. Albums here rose, and denied hav-
ing said any such thing. What he said
was, that in case n servile war should
arise in the South, and the people of the
North should be called by Congress to
furnish blood and treasure in putting it
down, then Congress would have a con
s,iu'ional power over the institutions OF
the South. The very cause for sending
aid, would put the Case within tho power
of Congress. Nay, said MIR. A. tn"
very fact OF the free States marching toI
the South would be an interference with
the institutions of the South.

tinua confusion and uproar; when ut the

MIR. /. gave way to a motion to adjourn,

which he desired to have read second
time, for the purpose of reference, and
that the question on the second reading
might be n test vote, and by this means
the sense of the Senate in relation to the
measure might be known. MIR. Clay
suggested, that it would be better to let
the bill take its regular course he could
not hope TO take the sense Of the Senate
so ms to make i, n test question. As
matter Of relief, the subject should NOT
he lost sight of, yet he did not agree that
II ought to stand at the head Of the meas
