 John Quincy Adams and the Boys in Con gress.-There never has been a more sigma illustration of the weight and force of intel feet and experience than in the way anc manner in which Mir. Albums has kept n, bay such men as Wise and Marshall. They are both men ot great deal of intellect both of temper and meitle to make sen sation, and to carry things with them in q popular body-but when they come into fierce contact with age, intellect, and expe- rience, they are but boys, mere boys, whom the old man rlays with as bubbles, or moves about as a necromancer does his jug. sglery. He was opening into field so rich, had so much to say and to do in some ten days of speech-making he contemplated to have, that as ten days, aye, one hundred Sdays will be wasted in the House any way, 1t is almost matter of regret the subject was laid upon the table.
 The Boys, however, we hope will now let the Lion alone. They have cuffed and fis,i cut1ed him, it is true, but he has eaten them zup. Let him petition, and present petitions. He is right, perfectly right in all that--and 8the whole North now, and much of the South too is saying so. The right to petition, no 3matter how much men may reason against I 1t, is an instinct in the very soul of man. Logic can't get it out of him. He feels it is there, and he knows it is there, and the in , Sstinct will come out. There is not a master on Southern Plantation that wont let his Svery slaves petition him. They throng his halls. They address him petitions hourly S He never thinks of denying them the right God has written it on the nature of man as one of his right. God himself demands pc. tilon and prayer from all below; and it is lone of the greatest cancellations of a subject whether ot man, or government, that he can address petitions to the power that rules him, when he considers himself aggrieved.
 There--this is our moral lecture for Messrs. Wise, Glmer and Marshall. "Boys, do you hear that." Ifyou don't like North. sern petitions get up Southern ones to make fun ot us. Petition. for example, that we don't feast Boz" to death. Petition that the Yankees stop talking through the nose.
 Bolts on Upshur.-Hur. John NJ. Bolts has published letter of four columns in the Ma tional lnteIligencer. in support of his asser- sion that the present Secretary of the Treasu. Fry, Hon. Abel P. Upshur, has been an avow- 2 ed and strenuous advocate of an immediate Dissolution of the Union. To prove this, he cites Mir. Philip Harrison, respectable citizen of Richmond, who details at tenth a conversation he listened to and shared in on a James River steamboat between Judge P. 2P. Barbour, MT. Upshur, Mir. Bolts, and sew eral other eminent Virginians, wherein MT. Upshur ardently maintained, in opposition to Messrs. Bolts and Barber, that the Union ought to De dissolred. Mir. Harrison certifies Eihat Ne has heard the same sentiments ex. pressed by Judge Upshur in conversation al Williamsburg and on several other occa- sions. and testfies that he has heard Score ziary Upshur boast that he was the first man in Virginia who ran up the flag of DisuniOn.' , Mr. E. w. Johnston, formerly a Carolina Nullifier, tes,ifies to similar sentiments cx- pressed bv the Secretary, and Mir. Bolts cites many passages from Mr. Upshur's wri- 3tings. all pointing to Dissolution of the Un- ion as the only remedy for existing political evils Gin 1886 and tor several years after ward.)
 Such is the case made by Mr. Bolts, and on its tace it certainly seems to put Mr. Up- shur in a tight place. MT. U, however, has published card asking suspension of the 4public judgment until he shall have time to zprocure rebutting testimony.-N Y. Trio.
