membeI OF the 18th Congress, and that he en-
joyed the personal acquaintance of Mr.. Adams.
Mr.. F.,pronouuced Mr.. Adams truly great
man-great in the purity of his personal and his
political character ; great IN his diplomatic anu
controversial correspondence. Probably his
any man living. y

The final vote upon the ant-war and anti-sa-
very resolutions of Mr. Wilkin, will probably be
taken in the Senate tomorrow. Since these
resolutions were introduced into the Senate, r
substitute was offered by Senator,to the second
resolution. The substitute, which was intro
duced by Mr.. Cornwell is a broad and decided
and emphatic re-enactment of the celebrated
WIlmot proviso resolution, which was rejected
at the late Syracuse convention. Such move
ments only show the path by which the Clay
wings seek To Identify themselves with the Van
Buren, democrats.
