ration by Mr. Adams, Of a memorial to
dissolve the Union. A resolution strong
" ceusu ring his conduct was introduced
bv NJ MarshaIl,of Kentucky who briefly
addressed the house III explanation Of his
motives Mr. Acams replied, and insisted
that the portion of the Union from whence
he came was wrongcd and oppressed.
The wrong and oppression Of which he
complained. appeared to be, the denial OF
heir right to interfere with the institutions
of the south. We deeply regret the per-
pntal agitation Of this exciting subject in
The house Of representatives.. Mr. Adams
must know that the object Of the aboli-
tionists can never be accomplished, and
that the only result Of his course will tie
irritation and alienation of feeling II he
have "A particle of patriotic feeling left iii

he will torbcar to press his abolition
notions upon the attention Of the house;
and above all, he will rcver again dare to
present petition to dissolve the Union.
