Finally, he came to what he considered
as Mr.. Wise's notification, and exulted ia
the fact that he had sustained the Admin
istratlon in its course on that subject. Mr..
Adams declared that he would not supnorl
such principles. Mr.. Wise, he said, had
raised a tri-colored standard, and called
on the House to follow him; one color
was black, the emblem Of slavery; anoth-,
er was red, the color of murder; and the
third was of pale, sickly, and .death-like
hue, representing Modification. This stand,
ard he (Mr. Adams) would not follow.
| When Mr.. Adams had done, Mr.. Wise
rose and made a reply. remarkable for It's
moderation and dignity. IIe confessed
that he was. at first lrrilated by the gentle
Iman's remarks. Had any young and
Vigorous man made so heartless, venomous,
malicious, and slanderous attack on him,
| he would never have replied TO him here.
But this attack came from man venera-
bic for his age, his rank, and bis history
The veneratlon which he, Mr.. Wise, had
Tor Mr.. Adams father. for his own public
services, and for the renowned state that
gave him birth, would restrain him from
taking any notice Of this wanton assault.
| The gentleman might be gratifed by it,
J but his friends here Were deeply wounded.
One intimation he would repel-viz that
he (Mr. Wise) would insult Mr.. Adams
or any man because he was not duellst
insult him; sir, would strike down any
arm that dared it. The gentleman has
| obtained victory, and hope may enjoy
| it. | leave him possession of the field.
