dry, was referred to a select committee.
Mr.. Adams introduced his resolution for
resembling tho rule Of the House, which inder-
dicts the reception of abolition petitions. Mr..
Wise inquired ifthe motion was in order, the
venerable OK President still standing and regar
ding the gentleman from Virginia with very
sardonie scowl. The Speaker decided Mr. Ad.
ans TO be in order. The old boreas Of aboli-
ionism commended for the restoration ofthe
rights OF his cons,tuenls---th implacable Vir-
ginian opposing the agitation of the ''eVerlas-
ling queslo Of aboltion,' and appealing 10
the shorlness Of the session as an incentive
10 the prosecution Of tho bus:n Of.hs pso-
pie.

Mr.. Wise asked if would be in order 10
postpone the subject. The Speaker decided
tina, it would be IN order if no objections were
made.
"Criss Of "objections" "objeetonG!"
Mr.. Wise lhereupon, in a manner. and in
atone Of voice which denoted great indigna-
ton, exclaimed: "Imove then sir, tho yeas
and nays on putting the main question now"
The yeas and nays were accordingly taken,
and the vote stood "a for taking the question
on The adoption of Adams's resolution, and SO
in favor Of postponemsnl. So the question
lies over for further agitation.

Qourum in the Senate to-day. Mr. Crafs
Of Vermont, and Mr.. Dayton Of New Jersey,
appeared ae new members, and we're qualified
Mr.. Barron Of La, was also present
MI. Benton gave notice OF hls intention 10
introduce bill to-morrow, to repeal the Bank
| Tupt law.
Mr.. Tallmadge notified the Senate also, that
he should bring in on Tomorrow, or some sub
sequent day, bill ameudatory ofthe several
acts IN relation to the Treasury Department oi
the United States ono feature of which will
perhaps be, the taking Of the authority 10 ap-
point aod discharge the Secretary from the
| President, and transferring it 10 Congress and
another clause may perhaps authorize Gov
ernment rag factory.
Mr.. Adams mounted again 10 day his old
Rosinan,e Of abolition, and called up his reso-
luton of yesterday. A motion 10 lay il on the
table, was rejected by one vote. Had Mr..
Goggin of Virginia, who was accidenty from
his seat atlhat moment been present, there
would have been a tie, IN which event tho Spes
kor would have certainly decided 10 lay The
subject on the table; and there il would have
LAID, for old John could have never drummet
up vote OF two-thirds, to lift the yexed ques'
ton into agitation again. But the thing es-
capped by one vote, and coming again 10 ths
question, shall the main question on the I'D
option of the resolution now be putt il wat
lost, and the subject is open again for The ses
sion Of Tomorrow. There is a prospect tha
the rule 90 obnoxious to Adams, and so bens-
fetal to the orderly proceedings Of the House
will be rescinded; for the Wings seem deter
mined to CenCiliale or hood wink the abolition
lists, aud the South are in the same comprow
ice, if they can hit upon something as sub
slitute for the 2lst rule. Moro tomorrow.
