JOHN Quincy ADAMS OPINION OF GEN. ScorT.
In his speech at the great Niagara Convention,
Gov Hunt, said che should never forget the just
eulogium pronounced upon the character of Gen.
Scott, by John Quincy Adams when he was
assailed, some years ago. in an exciting debate in
the House Of Representatives. Mr.. Adams de-
clared that, after an experience of more than
fifty years in the public service, he had never met
man more exalted virtues at the same time
asserting that he possessed higher claims upon
his country as pacifcator than as q warrior ;
that the lustre Of his services in preserving the
peace Of his country surpassed the brilliancy o
his military achievements'

The fact that the Wing party has never yet
conceived or carried any great measure of gen.
eral advantage to the country, is no less historic
cal tban the fact that it has opposed every great
measure demanded by the interests of the people
or TIE emergencies of the times Union.
No sane and candid man will deny that the
characteristics of the two parties are and ever
nave bsen that the Wing party has projected and
acted while the Loco party is simply party of
negatives without sufficient unanimity in itself
to design or execute any great schemes, with no
bends of cohesion or principle except in Directing
to what the Wings propose. It's present platform
attests this.

Before Mr.. Bolts declared the thing impossi
BILE, the Wings boosted much of the prospect of
carrying Virginia for Scott and Graham. 1t
seems now that they have abandoned Ephraim to
his idols and have turned to abusing after failing
to cajole.--Union.
When and where did Mr.. Bolts ever make such
a declaration? Who can tell us? If he ever
did, be has since exercised the right of an hon.

Scott viii, be Elected In November

contemporary grounds his opinion to this
effect upon the energy Of the Wings themselves,
their increasing union, and the changes that are
daily taking place in everv part Of the country.
The union of the Wing party upon their nominee
is becoming more firm every day " Even those
few that were at first dissatisfied with the nomi-
nation, or desired the success of SEINE other can
date, are daily giving in their adhesion to Scott
and declaring that no other man could command
such vote from the Wing party The defections
from the ranks of the enemy, reported to US from
the West, are continually increasing. We do not
take up Western Wing paper but what con-
tains such accounts. The Scott vote will be much
larger everywhere at the West than the mere
Wing vote. 1t is on these OBJECTIONS we reckon
Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, and Wisconsin as
States very likely to go for Scott, and Ohio and
Pennsylvania as certain Then look at our op-
ponents. They are fighting about temperance in
Maine, about coalition id Massachusetts,, and
about barnburnerism, canalism and several other
obscure and not well understood causes of quar-
rel, in New York. That latter State is dead
loss to locofocoism from the feuds existing in the
party, while the results of the harmonious con-
vention of the Wings show that they will all pull
together this November. There is, then, every
reason to take courage at the prospect Nothing
now but failure in systematic energy and in or
gauization on our part can defeat u.s."

ANOTHER SALE OF Notwithstanding along
Main street yesterday, our attention was arrested
by beautiful display of Roses and other flowers,
neatly arranged on tables in the auction house of
Messrs. Alex Mott & Co. Upon enquiry we
learned they were from the nursery of John Nor
ton q Co. successors to Mr.. Abernethy, and were
intended for public sale. The collection appeared
to be the finest, as we doubt it is the rarest.
ever exposed for sale at auction in this CITY,
Amongst the Roses were several ever blooming
varieties justly esteemed for vigor, beauty and
fragrance. Now the is undoubtedly the fairess
flower which springs from the bountiful bosom
of mother Earth, and has been not inaptly STYLED

There is something joyous in the appearance of a
bright full-blown rose. Its influence upon the
senses is not unlike that produced by soft strains
OF delicious music-banishing all acerbity, sooth-
ing angry passions, and ulli ng into momentary
forgetfuness of the ills of life. Let the ncreas-
ing taste of the people, then, for flowers be sedu-
lousy cultivated and to this end let the sales of
our own Florists be literally patronzed.
FIRE-An alarm OF fire was sounded through
out the city yesterday morning between the hours
of two and three o'clock. 1t was caused by the
burning of the stables of Mr.. Chas Philips, stu
ated on the Westham Plank Road, short distance
beyond the Western limits of the city.

HOUSE OF DELEGATES.

TUESDAY, May IL.
ADJOURNMENT OF THE LEGrsLATuRE
On motion of Mr. SEGAR, the House took nm
the resolution offered some time since by Mr..
IoMLIN, that ''when the Legislature adiourns on
Monday, Oath May, 1t will adjourn sine die''-
and the substitute of Mr.. SFGAR, that s.when the
Legislature adjourns on Monday, 3lst MAY, it
will stand adjourned until the - day of ="
MIR. LEAKE was in favor of an adjournment of
the Legislature, and thought it was the most pop
ular act ion that could be taken.
Mr.. JACKSON, of Peasants and Ritchie, said
that he was in favor of an adjournment; that even
the friends of internal improvements would not
vote for them now.
A member .'Amen p
MIR. BARBOUR was Of the opinion that the
friends of internal improvements were running
on their ruin by advocating an adjourned SEES
sion.
MIR BOYD was prepared to vote on all the inter
nal improvement schemes before the House, and,
as he thought, as literally as any gentleman there
He did not think, however, that the House were
prepared to cast their votes and he was not will
ling to force gentlemen into voting without their
being prepared. He was in favor of adiourning
first of June and returning in November or he
would remain any reasonable time,
MIR. YERBY wished to know the resources of
the revenue, if the Leg stature adjourned with
out passinga tax bill.
Mr.. EDWARDS withdrew the motion of indei-
mite postponement, which was renewed by Mr.
GooDE of Meckenburg
Mr.. SPEED said he was in favor of an adjourn
ed session, as he wished to give the schemes of
Internal improvement now before the House a
chance OF having their merits and claims repre-
sented. He believed that neither the North
West nor the South West would now vote for a
single Internal Improvement.
MIR. WALLACE was for laying the resolution
and substitute on the table for the present.
Mr.. JACKSON of P and R. said the alternative
was to remain OF adjourn till the Commissioners
would make their returns; he preferred the lat
ter.
The question was then put on the indefinite
postponement of the matter and decided in the
negative-ayes 80, noes 70.
And the substitute appointing the May 81, day
of adjourning, and the 4th Monday in November
tor re-assembling, passed-ayes II, noes As.
COMMUNICATION FROM THE GOVERNOR.
A communication was received from the Gov
ernor, in whichhe stated his reasons for committing
the punishment of Jordan Hatcher, the substance
of which we give, viz That the result of the
blow given by the negro was not contemplated by
him, as shown by making his escape from the fac
tory and not making further demonstrations of vio-
lence towards Mr.. Jackson, and that the blow
was given by Jordan, whilst in the heat of passion,
and suffering great pain. He had consultottwith
several eminent gentlemen, who had strengthened
and confirmed him in his opinion Of the course
which it was proper to pursue, though had he
been left entirely his inclination, he should
have acted in the same manner.
