Mr.. A. then launched forth into a bitter at
tack upon Mr.. Wise--whom he represented
as having once come into this Hall with his
face and hands dripping with innocent blood,
the spots of which were still fresh in his
countenance, and now as pouring forth the
walls of wrath upon his head, and advocating
a resolution which charged him (Mr. A. with

Mr.. A was at times inaudible to the re-
porter, but he made some remarks which
brought,
Mr.. Wise to the floor, who declared his
entire innocence Of The charges made against
him, except only reluctantly going out to
attend Il friend; and went on to say that.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.

Some C nnversation followed the reading of
the Journal. between Messrs. Everett, Wise
and tie Speaker, upon one of the statements
contained in ii.
Mr.. Fillmore tried to get postponement
of the debate upon Mr.. MarshaIl's resolu-
lion of censure, in order to take up the Trea-
sury Note Bill, but
Mr.. Wise preferred to conclude what he
had to say at once. When the House ad-
journed yesterday. said Mr.. W., was shew-
ing the existence Of foreign Interference in
our affairs, the existence of English influ-
ence. Not only is this so. but American
citizens have gone to England, and there
asked for the prayers, the aid, and the monty
of that country. to put down slavery. Mr..
w. then read from a report of Mr.. Gurley-
the colonization agent-some extracts show
ing that emisaries from this country had
gone there and asked the interference as
above stated. Mr.. w. then went into the
New York and Virginia controversy.
Mr.. w. passed on to the consideration Of
the causes Of controversy existing between
this country and England, and said that we
were told we dare not persist in our demands
for Justice for fear of 4 war with that coun-
try, in which the slave influence would be
brought TO bear. What, said Mr.. W., is the
first question between this country and Eng
land! 1t is the North eastern Boundary of
Maine. Maine, sir, is a State where true
democracy has always been dominant
There is a place called "Braintree,' as well
as one called "Accomac,' and there is a hos
tility, 4 deadly feud, between Maine and
Braintree. Maine has never supported the
Braintree family. The Oregon Territory,
and British aggression in that region, were
next adverted 10, and Mr.. w. called upon
the representative from Nantucket to aid
him in getting a naval depot established in
that quarter, not to sprovide a convoy for
the slave trade, but to protectthe whale fishe-
ry.
The emancipation of slaves in jamaica,
the wal with China, and the Creole case.
were next commented upon. The attempt
of the British panty to have Hay,i recogni-
zed was then introduced. We are called up
on, said Mr.. W., to admit to this Hall, and
to the Senate, a niger, with his black skin
and woolIy head, and he is to be taken by
the hand and welcomed here. lie is TO be
invited to entertainments, and give them in
turn. This is what ] call amaIgamatlon with
a vengeance! downright social amalgama-
ton.
Not only, said Mr.. w., is the British party
in this country determined to rupture this
Union, and drive the Southern portion off
by warning with her institutions, but they
are also determined to do it, by imposing an
unjust, unequal, unconstitutional, and OPP
pressive Tariff.
National d~efences are to be struck down,
lest they should serve as a "convoy Tor the
slave trade,n and a war with England is to
be encouraged by that, in this defenceless
condition, the emancipation OF our slaves

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES..

Mr.. Adams made some corrections in the phra.
seology Of the Journal in reference to his own
motion, and then gave way 10 Mr.. Fillmore, who
moved a postponemcnt Of the regular business
before the House until | o'clock, in order that
he might submit several reports from the Com
mittee of Ways and Means. This, on division,
was agreed 10.
Mr.. Fillmore then reported various Appro-
p~riation bills for the Army, Navy, Civil and Di-
plomatic list, Indian Department, Pensions, sc;
also, sundry resolutions of discharge from the
consideration of various subjects which were
otherwise referred. Having concluded These,
Mr.. F. moved that the House take up the Trea-
sury Note Bill, and act upon the Senate's amend
ments. These amendments were then read.
Mr.. Gilmer called for the consideration of his
resolution of yesterday, which proposed to cen
sure Mr.. Adams.
A motion to lay this resolution on the table
was taken by yeas and nays, which stood thus:
ayes "a, noes 1l2. So the motion was Iegativ-
ed.
Mr.. Marshall, of Kentucky, then rose and
desired leave to read, in his place, a modification,
or rather substitute for the resolution Of the gen.
tleman from Virginia. Leave having been gram
ted, Mr.. NJ. read a long and solemnly worded
resolution, reciting the magnitude of the offence
committed by Mr.. Adams, and charging that he
had, by the very act of presenting a petition for
the dissolution of the Union, proposed to each
member here to commit perjury and that he had
been guilty of a crime little less than high trea-
son; that if the House did not expel the gentle
man, it was an act of great mercy and torbear-
ance on their part, and that in the course he had
taken, he had justly drawn upon himself the
highest censure of this assembly.
Mr.. Marshall then eloquently and nobly sup
ported his resolution. He was actuated by no
feelings of personal malignity to the gentleman
from Massachusetts; far otherwise; he appealed
to his past course to show that he had uniformly
been kind and respectful to him. Among the
earliest efforts of my youth, said Mr.. NJ, were
those | made in support of that gentleman's ele-
walton to the highest office in the Republic; his
family and mine have long been associated, the
name of each is to be found, side by side, in the
annals of the country.
If this petition had been presented by any
other gentleman it might not excite the same in
tensity of feeling which it must in coming from
the source it did; that a proposition to pull down
this glorious temple should come from him who
had ministered as the very high priest at the
altar-this it was that gave to it a character of
the deepest solemnity. Mr.. Marshall said that
the course he had taken was not adopted till
after deep and painful reflection; but, if he knew

WEDNESDAY,, February 2, 1912.

WEDNESDAY, February 2, 1872.
The morning hour was occupied in the recep-
ton of memorials and petitions, chiefly praying
the Congress should not interfere with the opera
tion of the Bankrupt Law.
Mr.. White, Of Indiana, presented a memorial
asking Congress for appropriation for the improve
ment of the harbor of St. Joseph's. This gave
rise to a long discussion, which was maintained
by Messr.. Preston, Clay, White, and others.
Mr.. Clay's proposed amendments to the Con-
~stitution coming up in the orders of the day
Mr.. Buchanan, being entitled to the floor; was
delivering an able speech, chiefly against limiting
the Veto power, when our report closed.

NUMBER 1871

Mr.. Wise went on to show by his extracts how
far that "foreign interference which Washington
had warned the people against in his legacy, had
been carried. r.
MIR. Wise continued speaking, until physical
ly exhausted, up to the hour of adjournment,
which was later than four o'clock. His speech
embraced a general denunciation of abolition and
its ~abettors, both here and abroad.

THE HOUSE.

After the journal had been read,
The House considered Mr.. Adams presentation
of a disorganizing petition, and the motion to CEN
sure him therefor.
A call of the House was ordered, and, after ex-
cuses had been given for all the absentees, the
doors were opened, and a motion was made to
lay the whole matter on the table.
The yeas and nays were demanded and order
ed, and were-yeas SO, nays Up.
A motion was now made to lay Mr.. Marskall's
resolvedto censure on the table; and, upon taking
the question by yeas and nays, there were-,eas
so. nays lO7.
Mr.. Adams then called up his resolutions call
ing upon the President of the United States for 4
correspondence between the President ofthe Uni
ted States and the British Government in relation
to the Imprisonment of slaves in South Carolina.
Mr.. Pickens asked the member from Massa-
chusetts 10 embrace the opinion Of the Attorney
General in his call.
Mr.. Adams said that was al:eady in print.
Mr.. Holmes then objected to the reception Of
the petition. He denied that it was relevant to
the subject, and considered it unnecessary for
the defence of the gentleman from Massaehu-
sets.
Mr.. Smith of Virginia considered the resciu-
ton irrelevant.
against the resolution.
Mr.. Warren of Georgia gave his reason for
voting in favor of the resolution.
Mr.. Morgan of New York moved the previous
question, and there was a second.
The question upon adopting the resolution of
Mr.. Adams was then taken by yeas and nays,
and there were-yeas 81, nays 90.
The next resolution calling for the record Of
Captain Bottoms c~ourt-martial was adopted by
yeas 90, nays 81.
The resolution calling upon the President to
say whether he authorized Hon. William Cost
Johnson to say, on the floor of the House, that he,
the President, was opposed to the 2lst rule ofthe
26th Congress: Was laid on the table, upon mo-
nays Ga.
The last resolution, requesting the President
to inform the House whether he authorized the
Hon. II. A. Wise to make a similar statement on
the floor ofthe House, was also laid upon the ia
BILE by the same vote.
Mr.. Wise, before the resolution was consider
ed, moved TO amend it, by calling upon the Pres
ident for a complaint made against the Federafsts
of New England to Mr.. Jefferson by N.Y. Ad-
ans.
Mr.. Adams said that was not necessary 6rhts
defence.
The speaker decided that it would not be IN
order to amend the resolution IN that uoy.-
Mr.. Adams, after the vote had been declared,
resumed the floor in his defence, and was talking
