RIGHT OF PETITION-TIE NON
RECEPTION RULE.

The Van Buren, party, with its heavy ma
jority in the U. s. House of Representatives,
have changed their tactics, in relation to one
very important subject in remarkable man.
ner.
| We refer to their new views Of the recep-
ton Of Anti-Slavery petitions. After having
introduced the rule against receiving them
and having maintained it for some six
or eight years, they now seem disposed to
abandon it and to come upon Wing ground,
in respect to this matter. In other words,
they seem disposed now not only to receive
these petitions, which they have been de-
nouncing and resisting so long, but to refer
them and have them deliberately and coolly
considered and reported on as the Wings, ex-
cept few of the party from slave-hoding
States, have always maintained to be the on
ly just and constitutional, and therefore the
only wise and expedient course.
Such being the new policy adopted at
Washington, the Argus comes forth in its
support with the zeal of new convert. II
is edifying to see how earnest that paper is
becoming in advocating what, till this sea-
son, 1t had for years as zealously opposed.
What is the reason Of this revolutionl
That reason, we doubt not, has been found
in the almost universal popular sentiment
demonstrated, and still further developed
and invigorated by the public reception every
where given to John Quincy Adams, on his
journeyiugs last summer and autumn.
The popular applause which greeted him,
with such emphasis of expression, and the
popular honors heaped on him, were thus
literally and enthusiastically bestowed, be-
cause he had been the eloquent, unninching
uPholder of the right of petition.
This was the reason ; and the exhibition Of
1t in such decided forms, was the great lesson
of the summer and autumn.
In furnishing the occasion for teaching
, that lesson, MIR. Adams has rendered the
cause Of freedom as great service as even
his long life Of illustrious service can boast

MELANCHOLY SUICIDE.-In Newark,
evening before. last, about eight o'clock,
as we learn from the Newark Post, a
young man was found lying on the stoop
of the United States Hotel supposed at
first TO be dead drunk. With Mr.. Stew
arts accustomed kindness, he directed
him to be taken into the house to prevent
his suffering from the cold, when it was
discovered that he was afflicted with some.
thing more serious than Drunkenness

pronounced that hi, condition was the eff
ect of an opiate, and went for aistomach

onous drug. The young man however
was TO near his end, and before the Doc.
Tor returned he bfeathed his last. A lii
lie investigation proved Him to he son of
Rev. William Parkinson Of the Baptist
Church of this city. He was a teacher
by profession, his habits had not been
strictly correct for some time, and it is
said he had been about Newark, out Of

sober and in his right mind. Parkinson
was about 25 years Of age. He had wife
in Newark, to whom he had been married
Lont seven wears. The Newark Post
says they did Nc: live together, though he
saw her in the afternoon, and gave her
notice of his intention 10 destroy himself
by taking laudanum. He was man of
education and intelligence, and has prob
ably been brought to his fatal resolu-
ton by love of ardent spirits. His fate

" JOHNNY FEED UP THE BEAST

few days ago to call at the "log cabin of 4

he found reading attentively the Milton

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10, Wedncs'y eve.

w ASHlNOIoN, Jan. ~, 'SuhCS SNc'
The House has had whole budget of
subjects under consideration. without dis
posing of any of them. The Abolition
debate remains in stafu quo with only half
a speech more made upon it, and with
many additional signs Of a determination,
if possible, TO kill the whole subject by a
consumption of time. | do not think it
will succeed, though the Southern men of
the dominant party in the House, are
cTowding, pushing pushing and threaten
ing their Van Buren, allies from the North
with all sorts of political tortures, if they
question. If they bend here they will
break at home, and this will probably keep
them straight Some of the Southern
members Of Congress,l must believe, make
this Abolition question entirely a political
hobby horse to ride upon: They agitate
their Pro-Slavery opinions at home as
much as the Abolitionists do their Anti
Slavery opinions in the Free States. Is
such a man as Mr.. Black, of Georgia,any
less an agitator,-anv less mad than VIM
Loyd Garrison. / would as soon trust the
one as the other, and should not care to
see either hold position where they had
power to do much mischief. If one of
these men, or their followers, were su-
preme in one section of the country, and
the other in the other, the Union would
not last year. Both are to be equally
feared and opposed. As much political
capital is made at the South as at the
North out of the discussion, and political
AbolisIonism is just upon an equality with
political Slavery.
Mr.. Adams was incidentally drawn in
to discussion to-day. in reply to Mr.. A. V.
Brown, of Tenn, who takes the ultra
Southern side of the question. The men,
Der from Tennessee argued that the re.
spectful treatment of Abolition memorials
would not put an END TO Abolition, and as
proof that it would not, he cited generally
the action of the House at a former peri
cd upon these memorials. Mr.. Adams de-
MED that IN all the recent discussion of
thi, subject that Abolition memorials had
been respectfully received by tho House.

Abolitionists clearly understand, and as
sacredly regard the constitutional powers
of Congress, as do their PREACHERS and
they know, and have again asserted, that
Congress has no more righifui authority 10
sit in judgement upon Southern Slavery
than ii has TO legislaie for the Abolition Of
Slavery in the French Colonies.
WIN. l.. GARRISON.
The above assertion We believe TO be
true 10 the very letter. In the first place,
an abolitionists is any one who is oppo, ed
to slavery, and is in favor of its abolition.
No well informed american, whether an
aboli,ionists or not, believes that Congress
has any constitutional authority 10 interfere
with slavery in the several states. And
yet for asserting no more than Garrisc n
has a s1rted above, such men as John Quin-
cy Adams, Daniel Webster, Samuel Prem
tiss and host of others, have been most
severely and urceremoniously denounced
by men claiming TO be aboliIionists par ex-
ceence.
If the above doctrine be true, the for.
nation of distinct political party, founded
on anti.slavery principles, is totally unnec-
essary in Vermont. Our State Legisln-
lures, and Congress can do nothing. poliii-
caliy 10 remedy the evil of slavery in the
several states. Both :he Wings and Van-
Buren, or Jackson democrats, in Vermont
can be made to advocate the right of petit
ton and the Constitutional power of Con-
gress TO abolish slavery in The District Of
Columbia. The domestic slave trade has
no advocate, IN our community.
The election Of slave holding Prcsi.
dent does not, and cannot, produce that e.
vii which is so often apprehended. Wash-
iDgon, jefferson, Madison, Monroe and
Jackson, so far as slavery was concerned,
we're mere cyphers. They had TO power,
as Presidents, in this matter, TO do injury.
The uLfriendly blow that was ever struck
at abolition, by any President, was given
by Martin Van Buren,, in 1887, in his In>
augural Speech; and by that act, he forfeit.
ed The confidence of all honorable lovers of
freedom. Every consistent aboli,ionist
will, of course, prefer an aboliiionist Pres.
ident, but give me John c. Calhoun. so far
as slavery is concerned, in preference 10

The prospects of the wings are brighten

what brings some evidence ofthe increas-

that state will be given to Mr.. Van Buren,.
