The Repose of the Good Man.


On Saturday last, the body of JonN @. AD-
ANS was deposited in a tomb, prepared by him
SELF at his recent home in Quincy. The Con-
grcssional onmittee-consslng OF one mem
her of Congress from each Statc-accompanied
the body from Woshington-and at each city
on the way funeral obsequies were observed,
and every mark of respect paid to the remains,
or rather, memory, Of the honorcd dead
The remains of MIR Adams left Boston on
Saturday noon last, attended by the Legisla-
ture the officers Of the State Of AIassac husctts
the Committee Of Congress, and large party
of citizens, and reached Quincy, by rail road,
in the course Of half an hour From the Bos-
ton papers we gather the following notice of
the last tokens of affection to the body of the
il!ustrious and good man.
After some little stay in the town hall, the
gentlemen, intending to join the procession,
repaired to Mr. ADAMS house, and took near
y their last look at the coffin, it lay in state
in the drawing room. After this, the final pro-
ccsson was arranged, under direction fJohn
f. Dmmock, Esq, Chief Marshal, in the or
der previously advertised. It marched under
escort of the Washington Light Guards and
the Norfolk Guards, the whole under com
mand Of Captain Kelsey, and the band playing
Pleyel's Hymn. Minute guns for one hour
were fred by the Artillery, beginning at the
start from the house.
Arrived at the church, in which Mr. ADAMS
had Sc long been constant worshipper, the
coffin was placed in front of the pulpit, direct
" under a black panel bearing, in white let
ters, his own last words-''Tbs is the last of
earth
Daring the entrance of the procession a SOL
emn voluntary was played on the organ, and
then funeral hymn was sung by choir of
about fifty ladies aud gentlemen.
The Rev. WILLIAM p. LUNT, Pastor of the
Church, next read an appropriate selection
from Scripture, and made an affecting prayer.
Then came the performance of beautiful
hymn, written by MIR ADAMS, and after that a
most eloquent and touching discourse was de-
livered by the officiating clergyman, from the
text-"Be thou faithful unto DEATH and will
rive thee n crown of life Authorizations, ii. 10.
The preacher dwelt long upon the character
and virtues of the llustrious deceased, giving
many interesting details of his life and public
services. Attic close he made beautiful a.
postrophe to the Committee of Congress, which
caused the tear to stand in many anc eye. The
discourse will be revised by the author, and
published officially.
This over, the services in the Church were
concluded by the performance of funeral an
them, and then the body was carried by the
Pail Bearers to the tomb prepared by MIR Ap-
ANS himself as the resting place of his re-
mains. Deposited therein it was viewed by
the male relatives of the family, the author-
tics in attendance, and the citizens composing
the procession, all of whom passed before the
door of the tomb. This vault has a granite
front, and bears at present only the simple
lines

Gen. TayIor,s Opinions.

At arecent Taylor Festival at Philadelphia,
letter from Gen. Taylor to J. r. Ingersol
was read The following is the material por-
last:
"At the last Presidential canvass, without
interfering in any way with the same, il was
well known to all with whom mixed Wings
and Democrats, for had no conceulment
in the matter, that was decidedly in favor
of Mr. CIay's election TO the Presidency-and
| would now prefer seeing him in that Office
TO any Individual in the Union; certainly
much more so, at any time, than myself. III
dependent of his great talents aud long eXpe-
rience in government affairs, consider his
views, which were those Of the Wings, for
the most part, more nearly nssimilaed,ns re-
CARDS political matters, TO those of Mr. JEFF
ierson, than their opponents, in whose pollt-
ical creed ! was reared, and whose opinions
in matters of state ! have never lost sight of,
and eudeavored TO conform to them as near
as my circumstances would permit"
The Cincinnati Chronicle publishes the fol-
lowing letter from Gen. Taylor, written
month ago. which is much more explicit in
regard to his political sentiments than any
Thing we have seen, and which must settle
the long veXed question--"Is Gen. Taylor
Whg;" We should really be glad to learn,
however, ,ehat the General considers an ultra
Whig.

Yesterday Saturday was consumed in tho
fSennle, hy adiscussinn between Mcssrs. Cass,
Davis of Mississippi, Foote and Douglass, on
nn amendment proposed by the last TO strike
out Il section of iho fifth article, which pro-
vidcs that the boundary established between
Mexico and the United States by the treaty
shall be rciaiously respected by the two Re
i'ublics, and shall forever stand as the houn-
diary line, unless by the mutual consent of the
contracting parties, TO be declared through
she properly constituted authorities.
III there is any article in this caricatnre
0i'u Treaty that recommends it to favorable
consideration, il is this, because it stops the
process by which Texas became admitted
into the Union. Mr. Douglass shrewdly sus-
S.acted the object of the clause, and therefore
Introduced his motion to present the oppor-
fWmity ofnominal colonization in the depart
ments of Sonora, Durango, chihuahua, Goa

alence, and finally of annexation.

Scene in the House.

Congress was disgraced, on Friday, by
quarrel between two iocofoco members of
the House. The following is the Report of
the transaction:
While the tellers were engaged in the talk
ing of the question (of adjournncnt) Il quar-
rel between MIR HARRISON of Georgia aud
Mr. Jones of Tennessee, broke out in the
shape of a fight, in which the parties EN-
ployed the weapons with which Nature had
endowed them, with much industry and eff
feet.
The difficulty sprang up in the following
manner, when they came to vote, Jones
charged HARRISON with inconsistency. Some
nasty words followed, until Jones gave the
lie.
Enraged at this, HARRISON returned the lie,
with blow; after which they clinched each
other with great fury.
The confusion at this moment was indies
crihable. The Speaker in vain cndcavoring
TO restore order, members overturning their
desks as they started from their seats, those
in the immediate vicinity of the belligerents
crowding around and attempting TO stop
them, added 10 the noise of the contest, com
bined to render the whole supremacy dis
graceful; only the fear lest serious harm
might be done to one or both ofcombattants,
saved it from being disgusting.
At last by the eXertions ofthe other men,
hers, the brawling Legislators We're separn-
ted. When the heat of quarrel was some
what cooled off, they returned to their SEN
ses manifested degree of shame for the
outrage they had committed. Each of them
then proceeded to make apology TO the
House, they affirmed that up TO the moment
ofthe quarrel perfect friendship had eXis-
ted between them; but of course such u
shameful affair could not be suffered to end
in that manner.
Mr. Jacob Thompson, of Miss, submitted a
resolution for the appointment ola Select
causes and circumstances of the rencontrc,
and to report to the House thereon.
Mr. Stephens, of Ga opposed the appoint
ment of such committee.
| Mr. Hunt, of New York, supported it.
Mr. McLane, of Md. announced 10 the
House that the gentlemen involved in this
unfortunate difficulty had already apologized
TO each other; and that as far as they were
mutually concerned the affair was at an end
Messrs. HARRISON and Jones, the recent
belligorents, then shook hands in the pres
ence ofthe House.
A good deal of discussion on the subject
followed, in which several members partici-
pated. They commended that the dignity of
the House required an investigation, with a
view to censure or expulsion of the offending
parties.
Finally, Mr. Stephens, of Ga, proposed a
substitute for the resolution of Mr. Thomp-
son. dispensing with the COMMITTEES. This
having been adopted, the apology of tho par
ties was entered upon the. Journal Of the
House, and so the matter ended.
