Look through the casement of your village school, Where row the patient with his oaken rule Sits like Augustus on the imperial throne, Between two poets yet to fame unknown? While restless Florence pinions marred Hies, Some younger Virgil fills the room with sips Who, (Offering now for one untimely laugh, Then long will write his matter's epitaph; Forgetting in his lines and comments Mund The valiant idlers on his blistered hand. And that unlovely rogue, how slyly he inweave The Pickwick papers with his Murray's leaves; The rare of nouns lies dim as sunken isles; While Mr. Weller lights his fun with smiles; Or Mr. Barfield weeps, or lawyers plead? His task remains unknown, the wag will read. Struggling with Colburn at the table of Three, You pallid votary at the window sees What though he lingers with a wistful eve, Upon the dial as the sun mounts high; Impatient boy! the man will soon complain. Too swift the moments for his hours of gumm; Too fleetly pass the sands of life away, And death may claim him as a miser, gray. Pounding with joy to leave his native vale, He leaps unarmed where scarce a veteran's mail Would shield from sin in all its cunning Tons, Or keep secure where vice in legions swarms: Yet leaves he not his peaceful home unwarned. Though Many an earnest prayer perchance is scorned. Methinks, intent I see his wistful gaze Fixed on some gossips; listening with amaze To fearful tales of city murders due, And awful scenes of riot, blood, and fire; These are the wise old mauls, the knowing ones, Through whose rich lore some small confusion runs: What though they think Greece lies in Muffin's bay. The Punic wars were fought in Canada; That honest Shakespeare in New York survives, And Mr. Plutarch still writes learned lives; That Rome was pillaged, and the empire won, By royal armies led by Wellington; That Homer leaves his epic in the shade, Because he's busy in the harlequin trade; That the same Helen Paris dared to win, Still lives the bar-maid of some country inn; That Moore, reformed, is very active now, In printing bank notes for the town of Slowe. Their hearts are as sweet as the day is long, And ever ready with a cheerful song? And still (love these quaint, old-fashioned dairies, Spite of their cry 'gainst hymeneal Ages; They carol blithely on till evening's close, 'Though all time brings, or joy, or lingering woes; Perchance as happy with their tea alone, As many a matron with bar stupid drone. From the London Correspondent of the Matin Intelligencer London, Nov. 30, 1616 Deeper and deeper still, as the meeting of Parliament approaches, becomes the interest of the various questions demanding immediate attention from the Legislature. Popular demonstrations are hourly assuming a more determined and minatory aspect in Great Britain and Ireland; and unless the greatest caution and the most active vigilance be used by our Government, England will be plunged into an abyss of troubles and misfortunes, from which she will not be able to emerge in haste. The embers of the partially-extinguished insurrection in Canada are ready to burst out into the flames of civil war; the convulsed state of Ireland, the wretched and impoverished condition of the working classes in England, will produce terrible effects, if the most judicious and vigorous remedies be not instantly applied. Nothing but the tin upholstering and rigid observance of the rights and privileges which the British Constitution confers, can save the British empire from dismemberment and bloodshed. We are on the brink of a volcano, and one false step might overwhelm in irredeemable ruin our country, our altars, and our homes. These, be assured, are not mere sounds; they are solemn truths; they are what the signs of the times justify me in stating. The greatest reliance is placed in the honor, integrity, and dignity of the United States Government, that it will exert to the utmost its power and control in suppressing any attempt that may be made by Americans to Aid. The disaffected portion of the Canadians. But, it is understood here, that if American citizens have made up their minds to aid the Canadians, it will be very difficult for the United States Government to check them, it is true, the hour of their separation may be prolonged by our keeping up a standing army, at an immense expense, but it is the opinion of longer and wiser heads than mine that, eventually, the Canadians will cease to form a part of the dominions of England. It would not be just to impute all the blame to the Canadians, and no man in his senses can deny that the mother has acted unkindly towards them. They, as well as other possessions of her colonial possessions, have been neglected, and their remonstrances disregarded. The statesmen of England, it is notorious, have never seemed to bestow a thought upon the welfare of the colonies; they have considered that all the people have had to do was, to obey! Such has been their mischievous policy. The Paris papers are busy speculating upon the persons who are to succeed the Ministers of War, Finance, and Public Instruction, who are to retire. The Commerce says, that the grand difficulty will be to find statesmen disposed, under present circumstances, to fill their places. The same journal asserts, with confidence, that the French Government has ordered a corps of 40,000 men to assemble on the Northern frontier of France. For what specific purpose, it does not say. A serious riot has taken place at Todmorden, in the North of England. A person named Ingham refused to pay the rate. The parish authorities proceeded, with a horse and cart, to levy on his goods, when a hand bell was heard to ring outside the house, which quickly brought together a vast concourse of people. A number of men who were employed by the Manchester and Leeds Railway Company left their work, and flew to the scene of riot. They were quick. ly followed by me and from four or five onions from the neighborhood, and in a short time the house of the recusant was surrounded by several hundreds of persons of both sexes. The horse was detached from the cart, and turned into a field, and the cart itself was broken in pieces, and afterwards was set fire to and completely consumed. The constables begged to be allowed to depart without personal violence, but the multitude would listen to no parley. The owner of the house was obliged to turn them out among the incensed crowd, who tore the clothes off their backs until they were almost naked in this situation they were compelled to run the gauntlet, hooted and pelted most severely. Matters had now reached such a fearful height, that expresses were sent off to Rochdale for a party of horse and foot, but for whose timely arrival the constables, and all who had attempted to protect them, would have been beaten to death. The opposition to, and hatred of, the Poor Law Amendment bill are increasing very day. From the tone of Sir John Hervey's reply to the communication of Governor Kent, some of our morning papers remark, that the boundary question is not in a state approaching to a settlement. The English people are most desirous that it should be speedily and amicably settled, and surely it must be so ere long. The United States Government have manifested the greatest forbearance in relation to the affair, it is to be hoped, therefore, that their patience will not be much Longer taxed by our Government. The British Navy is now reported to be in the best possible condition. Several fine ships have been added to it on a new construction. The naval arsenals are well stocked with everything necessary for the service, and able-bodied seamen are entering freely. Our dockyards have been for some time past in a state of the most active bustle. Mr. O'Connell has returned to Dublin, after having converted nearly the whole of the People of the four Provinces of Ireland into "Precursors." His progress has been most successful, and wherever he has appeared, his countrymen have hailed him with the most cordial applause. Several immense meetings have been held in the Corn Exchange and in other places in the city, which have been addressed by the honorable member at great length. In every speech he makes, he describes more and more the idea of forming an alliance with the English Radicals, for this reason, that they are led by men who advocate the employment of physical force. O'Connell will wield a mighty moral power in the ensuing session of Parliament. Whether it will have the desired or any effect upon the House of Lords remains to be seen. Yesterday Her Majesty came to town from Windsor Castle to hold a privy council. Her Majesty also held a court, at which several presentations were made. Since my last communication, five Cabinet Councils have been held, nearly one each day. Lord Durham has arrived at Plymouth, but, owing to the boisterous state of the weather, his Lordship could not land. For the last two days the weather has been dreadful. On the night of the 28th, the lightning, thunder, and hail were appalling. It also blew a perfect hurricane. Immense damage has been done in the Channel and on the coast of Cornwall. It is now positively denied, a proclamation having been issued to that effect, that Parliament will meet on the 5th of February. London, Dec. 6, 1838 At the Annual Cattle Show dinner, given in Arundel in the county of Sussex, Virginia, by Maxcy, Esq., the Charge d'Affaires of the United States was present; and, conceiving that a report of his speech would be interesting to your readers, herewith send it to you. This speech alludes to the unfortunate disturbances in Canada, and vindicates the conduct of the General Government of the United States. It clearly demonstrates that no blame whatever can justly be attributed to the U.S. authorities. Mr. Maxcy was received in the most cordial manner, and his able and eloquent speech excited feelings of the highest admiration. The Earl of Surrey, who was in the Chair, said: "Gentlemen, I beg leave to give you the health of a distinguished individual, who, like a soldier, has won his company here today. I will not designate him as a foreigner, for he speaks the same language as ourselves, and he has sprung from the same stock. (Cheers) beg leave to give you the health of Mr. Maxcy, the Minister from the United States to the King of the Belgians." This is, gentlemen, I believe, the first public meeting has been honored with his presence in this country; and I hope you will show him how we can drink to A friendly State. Long may we continue in strict our friendship to so great a nation." (Loud cheers) The Duke of Richmond immediately rose and said: "Gentlemen, allow me to propose, that we receive the distinguished foreigner, not with newfangled cheers, but with three true British cheers." The toast having been drunk with the ancient honors, Mr. Maxcy rose and said. "Gentlemen: I have not language to express the opinions to which the exhibition of kind feeling towards my country, which has just been manifested, has given rise, indeed, when I hear a kind voice in the English language, I cannot but feel that I hear the voice of a brother. I cannot fail in my mind to trace back from a community of language to a community of origin, and feel that there are ties stronger than mere interests which bind the two nations together. (Cheers) There is the interest which arises from common laws; for, gentlemen, American liberty, as well as English liberty, is founded upon common law, and Americans claim the common law, and its distinguishing privileges, as their greatest birthright. We trace back our liberty to the same source to which Englishmen trace theirs; we trace it back to that Magna Charta which the noble Barons of England, led on, it I do mistake not, by an ancestor of the noble Lord on my left, claimed and received from a British King—the charter which is the shrine of their liberty." (Cheers) With regard to agriculture, his excellence was evident: "I am an agriculturist myself, and have therefore a community of feelings in that respect, as well as in many others, with Englishmen." Science, and literature, and poetry, may adorn the Christian capital, arts and commerce may polish the shaft; but it is agriculture, forms the foundation of the column on which society re-poses, I have had today, for the first time, the honor of seeing and examining on ancient English castle; and, on those castle walls, I saw represented a scene which is equally interesting to Americans and Englishmen: it was the scene of the great King Alfred establishing the right of trial by jury—a right which we claim as one of our highest privileges, in common with those whom I have the honor to address. In alluding to the present state of Canada, his Excellency said: "It was reported, when the disturbances broke out last year in Canada, that large numbers of Americans crossed the line. I doubt whether it could be proved that 500 could be found loose enough on our borders, extending a distance of 5,000 miles, to crossover. Censure has been cast upon our Government, because they did not prevent this. How can you prevent a crime which is bathed in secret, kept within the breast of those who contemplate it, and therefore cannot be checked till the criminal is within the jurisdiction of the Government called upon? (Cheers.) Gentlemen, I have done my duty to my country, in disclaiming for it anything like interference against a country so closely connected with us by interest, by blood, and, I ever trust will be, by affection. (Cheers.) I will close by giving a toast which I hope will be acceptable. I give England and America?mother and daughter: For ever may the ties which bind them together be unbroken. The above are the leading passages in Mr. Mackey's speech, which was listened to throughout with the most respectful attention; and the toast which he proposed was drunk with acclamation. To hear such language as the above, at such a crisis as the present fall from the lips of an American Minister, is an additional guarantee to the Government and people of England of the friendly feelings of the United States towards this country. After Mr. Maxcy had resumed his seat, the Duke of Richmond, a high-minded and liberal nobleman, rose and said that that part of Mr. Maxcy's speech which related to the Canadian disturbances would give general satisfaction in this country. The packet ship Orpheus, from New York to Liverpool, arrived in the short space of sixteen days. She. brought accounts from New York to the 15th ultimo, and from Canada to the 15th ultimo. The news of the battle between the "Patriots" and the British troops at Escott, has been received in the city with great dissatisfaction. The proclamation of Sir George Aithur has produced a counter-feeling. It is calculated to inspire the loyalists with unbounded confidence. It is hoped that the very flattering picture which he has drawn of the state of things in his province will be realized. Important intelligence received from Brussels has prompted a great sensation among the merchants connected with Holland and Belgium. The Prussian Government has addressed an energetic remonstrance to England to induce it to force Belgium to execute the twenty-four articles. On the receipt of this remonstrance, the English Cabinet is said to have submitted to the Cabinet of the Tuileries that it had resolved to unite with the Powers of the North without regard to the opposition of France. The result of this is stated to have been that the French Government expressed itself willing to accept with the wishes of the conference, and that it agrees, without any reserve, to the twenty-four articles, with the modifications relative to the debt and the navigation of the Scheldt. The funds at Amsterdam had risen one percent. The Journal of the Times states that the shipments of French produce from that port for the United States have increased within the last two months to such an extent that, although packets for the United States sail four times a month, the warehouses and quays were encumbered with merchandise for want of vessels to carry it. The accounts from Canada, brought by the Great Western, which arrived on Friday night (the 11th inst) at Bristol, represent the British power in the assembly there. The defeat and discomfiture of the British have inspired the English people with joy. The President's proclamation, thus being made the subject of universal praise in the London journals. The forcible appeal made by the President to the United States citizens, cannot, it is thought here, fail of effecting the object in view. After the publication of the proclamation in question, no one, at this side of the Atlantic, will presume to insinuate that the General Government of the U.S. has not done everything in its power to preserve neutrality, and thereby to fulfill its engagements with a friendly nation. The happy prospect of our being able to continue in peace with America has diffused the greatest satisfaction throughout Great Britain and Ireland. Suit ought, for what advantage could either nation derive from a war? It is stated, upon good authority, that the Emperor of Russia intends to bestow the hand of his second daughter, the Grand Duchess Olga, upon Prince Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, and appoint him Viceroy of Poland, visiting the right of inheriting the Polish crown, independent of Russia, in the Prince's descendants, male and female. The Earl of Durham, his Countess and family, are at his lordship's residence, Cleveland Row. I believe that the Earl has not had an audience of his Majesty since his return from Canada. We hear very little about his resignation now, but the calm is indicative of the storm that will burst forth when his lordship takes his place in the upper branch of the Legislature. The country is looking forward with great anxiety to the astounding disclosures which he has promised to make. Should his declaration in this regard amount only to a threat, he will have lost caste with his friends; but, if, on the contrary, he proves what he has proposed to do, nothing can save the present Ministry from being ignominiously lurid out of office. At present, the case wears a bad aspect for the Ministers. Yesterday Her Majesty held a privy council, which was attended by nearly all the Cabinet Ministers. At this council the appointment of Sir John Colborne, in the room of the Earl of Durham, was confirmed. The United States Minister and his lady (Mr. and Mrs. Stevenson) are expected this evening at Windsor Castle on a visit to Her Majesty. A long and flattering address has been presented from the Borough of Sunderland to Lord Durham. It describes the parliamentary proceedings which led to the resignation of his lordship as having been most likely, and concludes thus: "Vilst, however, we cannot but lament that circumstances should have occurred to compel your Lordship to relinquish your appointment, we are, in some degree, consoled by the reflection that the powerful aid of your experience and counsel will be contributed in the British Legislature, to arrest any further evils from proceedings which have tarnished its character for justice and wisdom." Before the meeting at which the address was got up, separated, three loud cheers were given for Lord Durham. Disturbed State of the Country?The torchlight meetings in the manufacturing districts appear to have caused some uneasiness, as we find in the London Globe of December 14, a royal proclamation forbidding their repetition, &c. The Globe says that the getters up of these meetings have wholly thrown off their disguise of pacific intentions, that direct resort to violence is now preached by the orators; and quotes some very unqualified expressions of O'Connell and Stephens. A mill at Manchester had been burned, in which 400 persons were employed; and no doubt was entertained that the building had been purposely fired. The owner, a Mr. Jewett, had incurred the ill-will of the "physical force" by opposing the torchlight meetings. The following proclamation for the suppression of popular assemblies by torchlight, has been proclaimed in England: "Whereas, great numbers are now exposed and disorderly persons having lately, in some parts of Great Britain, assembled themselves together after sunset, by torchlight, in large bodies and in a tumultuous manner, with banners, flags, and other ensigns, and have continued to assemble until a late hour of the night, and during the time they are assembled. Have by loud shouts and noises, and by the discharge of firearms, and the display of weapons of offense, greatly alarmed the inhabitants of the neighborhood and such assemblies, and endangered the public peace. We, therefore, being sensible of the mischievous consequences to be apprehended from such illegal interchanges, and of the dangerous tendency thereof, not only to the peace of our Kingdom, but the lives and properties of our subjects, do hereby warn and command all persons to desist from such assemblies at their peril; and do further command all Justices of Peace, Sheriffs, Constables, and other Officers, to use their utmost endeavors to prevent such illegal assemblies, and to bring the offenders to justice." Given at our Court at Windsor, this twelfth day of December, in the year eighteen hundred and thirty-eight, and in the second year of our Reign. God save the Queen! TEXAS. New Orleans, Jan. 9. By the arrival of the Gulf, we are put in possession of dates from Texas up to the 31st inst. A union between the neighboring Mexican States of California and Tamaulipas, and Texas, may be no impossible result of their juxtaposition. The Mexicans, along the frontier, have manifested lately friendly sentiments and having cast off the central authority of the Capital, these States have no disposition for hostile relations with Texas, but are interested on the contrary in enlisting the aid of the young Republic in the probable conflict to which their position towards the parent Government will subject them. Such an array of power as the union proposes will set at defiance any attempt of Mexico to resume her possessions in that quarter. Gen. Saveriagohas already been if called by Filasola, and the frontier of Tamaulipas, Coahuila and Chihuahua left unprotected. It is rumored also, that Filasola has determined to quit the Mexican service and country, remaining disposed with the government. The death of five lion. John A. Wharton of Texas, is deeply regretted and universally mourned. The Houston Telegraph pronounces him "one of the ablest and best of citizens," his name as "identified with all those great events which have arisen towards Texas the nation of the world," and that his merit "is traced in legible and enduring characters upon every portion of the proud fabric that upholds his country's liberties." The excellent address of the Hon. David G. Burnell to the Senate, is printed in the Houston Telegraph of the 11th, which we should republish if space allowed. On the 18th, a joint resolution was Presented in the Senate, authorizing the President to reorganize the Army and Navy. Mr. Everett made a report in favor of the claims of H. Sanderson and R.R. Royal A joint resolution for the relief of the heirs of Col. Winfield was referred to the judiciary committee. An act extending donation lands to emigrants was passed. All act passed giving Miss Frances Trask a grant of land. The first regular message of President Lamar appears in the Telegraph of the Aid ult. It occupies no less than nine columns of that paper, and is too voluminous for publication by us, but a synopsis will be furnished at some leisure moment. Complete tranquility has been restored to the North-astern frontiers of Texas, the late theatre of Indian depredations, and the families have returned to their homes. A small body of Shawnee Indians, with a number of Cherokees, have been engaged to operate in concert with seventy mounted rangers, against the most friendly tribes. The Delawares and Kickapoos have joined in sufficient numbers to augment the force of friendly Indians to two hundred, and General Domingo entertains no apprehension of their fidelity to the service. This force is scouring the country between Neuces and Navisota. It is in agitation to remove the Seal of Government from Houston, but it seems difficult to bring about an agreement as to where it shall be transplanted. The Telegraph advocates, in a leading editorial, an unshackled commercial intercourse, as the true policy of Texas. The paper is conducted with much ability. These are the only particulars of any interest in the file we received by the Cuba Bulletin. TEXAS CONGRESS. The special committee who were appointed to act with a committee on the death of the Hon. John A. Wharton, and to draft a preamble and resolutions expressive of the feelings of the honorable the Congress, in relation to said deceased, respectfully submit the following for their adoption: It was with no ordinary enmity of regret, that we learned this morning that the Hon. J. A. Wharton was no more! His death was as unexpected to us, as it must be universally regretted by all who had the pleasure of knowing him personally or from character. When but a youth? When he had just entered upon the gay and flowery dawn of life, with those high and sanguine hopes, and bright anticipations which youth is but too apt to throw around, and enrich, and hallow, the future with, he left the lurid of his nativity, the home of his heart, and those youthful scenes, associates and comforts, together with the enlightened, polished, and refined society in which he had been reared and educated, to encounter the dangers, privations and hardships incident to the settlement of a new and almost wild region. When he first emigrated to Texas, she was thinly populated, save by the savages, and formed an integral part of the Federal Republic of Mexico. Misrule and anarchy prevailed throughout the country?the civil administration of affairs was entrusted, in most instances, to worse than sanguinary barbarians. Amidst this deplorable state of things, the oppressed always found in the John A. Wharton, an able and willing advocate, was the friend and advocate of the injured and the poor—the friend and advocate of good order and good government—and the bold, able, and fearless asseitcr and defender of free institutions and correct principles. His talents and manly bearing, his honesty and integrity, and the esteem, but the love and admiration of his colonists generally, as well as all who knew him. When Santa Ana was trampling under foot the constitution of his country, and endeavoring to enslave all Mexico, he was among the first and ablest to cry out resistance. In the first dawn of the revolution, his eloquence and his influence were constantly employed to amuse and to excite into action and resistance against military despotism, the fierce-born sons of his native land - the descendants of the heroes of '70. The success with which he met the cheering response given to his appeals and his efforts - the glorious consequences resulting from the step which was taken, and the course pursued by him and his co-patriots of '63 and '64, proclaim to the present and future ages the greatness and wisdom of the design. In another character and another capacity, he was equally useful and conspicuous. As the Adjutant-General of the army at the battle of San Jacinto, he rushed into battle amid the roar of musketry and the thunders of artillery, determined to achieve the liberties of the country of his adoption, or nobly and gallantly perish in the attempt. The result was as fortunate as it was glorious. After the partial termination of hostilities, he was returned a member elect to the House of Representatives of the last Congress. While a member of that body, he was alike distinguished for his energy, industry, and ability, and only added another proof of his talents and his worth, and of being possessed of every rare and manly virtue for which he was already so distinguished. He was also re-elected to the present Congress by his fellow citizens of Brazoria county; but, shortly after the organization of the House of Representatives, of which he was a member, he was taken sick, and has remained upon his bed of sickness until this morning, the 17th instant, when he expired: Thus has the country, during the present session of Congress, been deprived of one of her most honest, fearless, and able legislators, and that too, at the most critical, embarrassing and interesting period since the dawn of our national existence; and we can view his loss in the councils of our country at this interesting and important crisis in no other light than a national calamity. Yet we should trust implicitly on the wisdom and goodness of Providence, believing that all his ways are for the best. He was distinguished not only as a statesman and a soldier, but as a lawyer he stood at the head of his profession. Thus, in every situation to which he aspired, or was called by his countrymen, he displayed talents of the highest order and unshaken integrity and independence. But our feeble eulogy, meteor-like, will soon have passed away—but his memory and his services are engraved in characters too deep and legible upon the hearts of his countrymen ever to be forgotten. Yes, the name of John A. Wharton and his daring and chivalrous conduct, and important services rendered the land of his adoption in her darkest and most trying hours, will form one of the brightest and most interesting pages in Texian history: and could he have survived a few years longer, it is highly probable that he would have filled the first and most responsible office within the gift of a free people. But that great leveller of all distinctions, Death, has spared him from the stage of human actions, it therefore only remains for us to pay that tribute of respect and reverence which is due to the statesman, the patriot and the soldier. Your committee therefore recommend the adoption of the following resolutions: 1st. Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives, That we sincerely regret and deplore the loss of our distinguished and talented fellow-citizen, the Hon. John A. Wharton, deceased. 2nd Resolved, As a testimony of our high regard and esteem for the Hon. John A. Wharton, deceased, that we will wear crape upon the left arm for the space of 30 days. 3rd. Resolved, That a copy of the foregoing preamble and resolutions be handed to the brother of the deceased, the Hon. Win H. Wharton, and that the Chief Clerk of the House furnish a copy of the same to the Editors of the Telegraph and National Intelligencer of this city, for publication E. W. CLILLEN Chairman of Committee of H of R H. K. CONDRICK, Chairman of Committee of Sennit. December 7th, 1900. The above is a copy of the preamble and resolutions unanimously adopted by the House of Representatives. JOHN W. KIDDER, Clerk of the House of Representatives. Fo'LAY, Wednesday, October 1st. It will be seen, from the reports, that last Monday, the House was made, as usual, the new laws lost daily in legislation. From Adams to Wise, from A to Z, the eager agitators on Abolition were at work with new propositions to vote for the abolition of the Abolition spirit. As we passed through the House on Monday, Mr. A was up, mumbling over petitions reading and restating, from successive copies of the same printed petition, (signed by different, probably fictitious names.) The same jargon from the Abolition spinsters and others, which Congress has for years, upon reference and report from committees, and more recently by prompt and decisive votes of the House, directly relented to act or to, because, as has been again and again declared, it has no constitutional right to do so, and because it is deemed inexpedient, if it had the right. The plan now adopted to get round the rule which lays Abolition petitions on the table. and so prevents further waste of the time of the House, is that of pouring in annoying petitions, praying for the House to rescind the rule itself. Upon all those issues, the fulness is to raise debate, and press the subject, out of which dissension between the members of the different sections of our country is first to be produced, and then extended in the people themselves in those sections. Mr. Wise took precedence of his venerable ally and fast friend in Whiggery in this new move on Monday last. We quote his remarks from the report, to show with what trifling nay, indecent levity, the interests of the country, and the character of Congress, are treated by men who. Say whether or not they were joined together. Their names were: S. White and Louisa Grosvenor, of Louisiana, in the state of Maine. There was a seal upon the paper also of a singular character. Stamped upon the wax was the representation of a sheaf of wheat silting on an end in a wheat field. The inscription thereon was, "you deserve a thrashing." Mr. W then went on to say, that he could not tell whether it was himself or others who were designated for deserving "the thrashing." He that as it might, the prayer of the petition was, that the House would rescind its standing resolution by which all Abolition papers are laid upon the table. Mr. Wise intimated his intention to support this petition by a speech, when it came up in order. After this, Mr. Curtis, the Federal member from the city of New York, opened a volume of petitions; the first praying for the rescinding of Mr. Atherton's resolutions, that the floodgates of Abolition fanaticism and fury be removed. may be again set loose in me more; and secondly, in the recognition of the negro Republic of Hays, and having intimate relations negotiated with it, by way of encouraging the blacks of the South to rise upon the whites, and drench the South in servile war and a St. Domingo massacre. Mr. Freeman Allen (the defeated Federal Representative of Vermont, for whose sake Mr. Smith, the member elect, was cheated out of his return, in the first election, by the Federal officers) followed suit to Mr. Curtis. His budget implored Congress for amalgamation of black and white upon a great and small scale, his suing was mostly from females. In the first place, it was desired that the heroes of Hays should be put upon the footing of the most favored people; then, that no State should be let into the Union that would not put the people of color into a condition to amalgamate by abolishing all distinctions; and finally, they prayed that the District of Columbia might be made a place for the general blending of races, by abolishing at once all distinctions within the ten miles square. Massachusetts then came down with a flood of similar excitation. Messrs. Fletcher, Briggs, Crittenden, Gushing, Reed, Lincoln, Calhoun, Sallonstall, etc. presented petitions. Mr. Gushing, the man who gave his double bond to the Abolitionists as the price of his election, signaled himself by a new movement. He drew up resolutions discussing the petitions brought in by him, and insisting that it was unconstitutional for Congress to decide, when a subject was sufficiently disputed in the body—when it had been sufficiently determined—to determine a question; but that it was an absolute violation of the rights of the States, of the liberty of speech, and petition, to lay a subject on the table after the House was satisfied that no good could come of further debating it. He therefore concludes his voluminous argumentative resolutions, by declaring the vote of the House to lay the Abolition petitions on the table, to be "a violation of the rights of the States, whose rights are forfeited, and the proper consideration; a violation of the right of perpetuity inherent in the people of the United States, and abridged, and abridged, and a violation of the privilege of speech, and of debate, rightfully appertaining to the members of this House, which it forecloses and abolishes." From this we learn that it Congress does not consent to debate one subject forever, or as long as anyone. The member is found to demand it, (and that a subject which Congress has no right to interfere,) then all freedom of speech, discussion, and petition is at an end. On this point we differ from Mr. Cushing and think his doctrine would produce the result he apprehends, by putting it in the power of one individual to enforce a gag law on the majority of Congress, compelling it, against its will, to discuss one subject eternally, to the exclusion of all others. Hear him: "Mr. Adams presented a memorial from sundry inhabitants of Boston, in the State of Massachusetts, asking Congress to remove the present seal of Government from the District of Columbia, to some point North, where the principles of the "Declaration of Independence" are not treated as a "mere rhetorical flourish." After alluding to a memorial presented at the last session, from inhabitants of the District, in favor of the restoration of the same to the States of Virginia and Maryland, but on which there had been no action, Mr. Adams said that the memorial now presented, would furnish an opportunity of considering so serious and important a subject. He wished the House to consider it as a proposition for a compromise. After some further remarks, which owing to the noise were inaudible, he moved to refer to a select committee, with instructions to consider the same, and report on the constitutional power of Congress to recede the District to the States from which it was taken. And on that motion, he declared the yeas and nays. Mr. Adams presented another memorial of a humorous character, asking the appointment of a committee on color to whom should be referred all office-holders and members of Congress for the examination of their respective pedigrees; said committee to report on the same, and in all cases where the parties shall be found to have the least drop of colored blood in their veins, they shall be expelled from office and their places filled by persons of pure Anglo-Saxon blood. We recur to these proceedings, first, to show how Northern Whiggery and Southern Whig leaders happily chime in with each other in the adoption of the same plans to disturb the peaceful relations among the States of the Confederacy, and overthrow by anarchy, the Democracy, which is founded in our present institutions as on a rock—and secondly, to point the public eye to the undying malignity of Mr. Adams against the people of this country, for having withdrawn power from a family that never deserved it, and which feels that it can never be revenged but by the overthrow of the principles that brought them to their level. The scandalous propositions of which he is the author—the contumacy of which he is guilty day after day in violations of order—the enacted effort he makes to provoke a feud in the chamber, which shall end in a permanent schism of the body—possibly the secession of the Representatives of a great section of the Union from Congress—all go to prove, that this "gratuitous iniquity" would rejoice if he could. Before his dim eyes are closed, our happy Union involved in blood by a political, fanatical, and servile war. Arising from such causes, a war among proud, spirited, and unyielding States, would be a war of extermination; and such a war. Let the heartless man would bring about, if his vindictive feelings were not prevented from spreading their contagion, by the refusal of the House to discuss the sectional question compromised in the adoption of the Constitution.
