WASHING TON, Thursday. January 9th,
TrioI Of John Ouincy adams.


The House has involved itself in the most ex-
citing and agitating proceeding that ever took
place in that body. They have now, perhaps,
gone too far to back out, and the prospects be-
fore them is one of a long and most vexatious
and disordinary contest with Mr.. Adams and
the interests which he represents. What object
can be effected by it? None which will be of
any advantage to Southern interests, to the
public welfare, or 10 the harmony and order of
the House. If they adopt the resolutions of
censure, what then! 1t will not silence Mr.Ad-
ans. He will recommence the same course
the next day, and with the support of thou
sand voices from the non-slave holding States,
where he now has one. Suppose they then
resort to expulsion, he will be Immediately re-
turned again by his constituents. The effect
of the procedure among the people of the nom
slave. holding States will be decidedly favora-
bic to Mr.. Adams views. He will be the great
object of public attention; he will have the
sympathies of the public and his sentiments
and arguments on the whole subject OF the
right Of petition and other questions involved
in his course, will be fully laid before the pub
lie, and under such circumstances as to secure
for him favorable hearing. Mr.. Adams has
every thing to gain and nothing to lose in the
contest.
The question of privilege was taken up this
morning, as soon as the Journal of yesterday
was read. The question then before the House,
was upon Mr.. Adams objection to the right of
the House to entertain the resolutions. This
question the Speaker had referred to the House
for decison-refusing to decide it himself, be.
cause ii related TO the privilege of the House.
Mr.. Adams took occasion to remark, that il
the House deemed it proper to proceed to the
trial of tho charges against him, it would take
