\ great degree Of Indignation exists among the
friends of the Government at the extent to which

the Young men are very anxious TO defend the

CENsURE OF MIR. ADAMS.

The following resolution offered by Mr.. Mar
shall on Tuesday last. II is still pending
Whereas the Federal Constitution is permanent
form of Government and of perpetual obligation, until
altered modified in the mode pointed out by that
instrument, and the members OF this House, deriving
their political character and powers from the same
sworn to support it, and the dissolution OF the
Union necessarily implies the destruction of that in
strument, the overthrow of the American Republic
and the extinction of our national existence pro-
position therefore, to the Representatives of the peo
ple to dissolve the organic law framed by their
sttuents, and to support which they are commanded
by those constituents to be sworn, before they can
enter upon the execution of the political powers Gre
ated by it, and intrusted to them, is high breach of
privilege, contempt offered to this House, direct
proposition to the Legislature and each member of it,
to commit perjury and involves, necessarily, in its
execution and its consequences, the destruction of
our country and the crime of high treason.
Resolved therefore, That the Hon JOHN @. ADAMS,
a member from Massachusetts, in presenting for the
consideration of the House of Representatives of the
United States, petition praying the dissolution Of
the Union, has offered the deepest indgnity to the
House of which he is member an insult to the
people of the United States, of which that House is
the Legislative organ and will, if this outrage be
permitted to pass unrebuked and UNPUBLISHED, have
disgraced his country through their Representatives
in the eyes of the whole world.
Resolved further, That the aforesaid JoHNQ ADAMS,
for this insult the first of the kind offered to the
Government, and for the wound which he has per-

of all true american citizens
