Nr. Adams Commiitee.-The Argus hopes
that there will be no 50 finching on the part
of the majority of this Committee but that
they VIII come square up TO the mark"
and let the country know what they propose
to do. The Argus may make itself easy on
this score. John @. Adams is the last man
i'll Congress TO finch from his duty, as the
Northern dough frees who have so long re-
sisted his efforts in behalf of the Right of Pc
tition, full well know. 1t is generally under
stood that one of the first acts of the Select
Committee will be to report in favor of re-
ending the 2lst rule. The Northern Wings
to man, have always voted against this
Odious rule while the Northern Van Buren,
men have as steadfastly, and unanimously
voted for it. Mr.. As. report will probably
furnish Van Buren, and his partisans another
of those opportunities, which they so much
cOvet, of showing their hands on question
of expressing public interest. We shall be
well content if there be then as little finch
ing" among the Van Ruren majority of the
House as on the part of the Wing ma
jority of the Select Communicable. Ere.
