Monday m Congress well deserves the name -es black- Monday, fir during nearly the whole of the last session, ami the greater portion of the present, this day of the week has freon given up to mailers respecting the condition of the black*. East Monday there was tho eternal topic of abo lition in the House, and also in the Senate, and the mcmliets ohllic former were engaged, bmh on Monday and'Tfiesday , in a debate of a most un plea«ar»l|aiid excited character, on a pro position to censure Mr. Adams for an alleged contempt of the Himse. That gentleman has, aa usual, pre sented a host of petitions from various quarters, graying for the abolition of-lavory ia tbe District of Columbia, which were received and disjio»cd -of under tbe rule, accord in ; to-Mr. Pinckney’a resolution. Mr. Adams still retaining the floor, taid ha bad in ills possession a petition from Slates ! and he wished to know whether it would fall under (he rule 1 The Speaker said the question was new, and he thcrefote declined to give any decision, but mould submit it to the dclibaralion sod judgement of tho House. This step of the Speaker was, in my opinion, the chief swsgsuif the tumultuous excitement,And all the embarrassment that followed. Hod a roan of high intellect ano independence beep in the chair, he would have derided promptly that such a pa|icr could not lie received, as slaves have no light to |H'tilion— hut hy leaving the matter to the deter mination of (he House, Mr. Polk opened wide the door to a heated dt-cu-i-ion. Mr. Thompson of S. C. offered a resolution, which, nl the suggestion of Mr. Lewis of Ala., was modified, and provided that John Quincy Adams, having prevented a petition from slaves, praying for the abolition of slavery, had commit ted a gross contempt on the House, and that he therefore he railed to the liar, and rereive a cen sure from the Speaker, in presence of the Hater. This motion was supported in a speech of great Spirit and force, by Mr. Thompson, an I hy vari ous other Southern gentlemen, who denonnred, in unmeasured terms, the design* and doings of the Abolitionists, and condemned strongly the whole course of Mr. Adams. The greatest ex citement prevailed; anti frequently were heard rrior. of “ Let him be expelled”— * Let him he brought to the bar!”—Mr. Patton of Va. then rose, and entreated the House to act with caution in passing a resolution of censure on the member from Massachusetts, It might, he said, turnout I t fiat Mr. Adimsdid not preient the petition, and that the (tclilion itself did not ask for the abolition of slaver.. This intimation produced a rrvul aion of feeling in the [lons.-, and when Mr. Adams rose immediately afterwards and beg in to address the House, the members crowded nronml | him, and filled the area aril aisle, ari l all the 1 passages in his vicinity. Mr. Adami then said he hail not ottered the petition, hut only hail in formed the Speaker that he had in his possession such a paper, purporting to eomefroin slaves, and asked what would he the order of the House up on it. He had not taken a single step beyond that. Th-' gentlemen who moved the resolution of censure were mistaken upon one important point. The petition was not for the abolition of j slavery, hut the reverse ! Instead of that, these petitioners asked fir tho very thing which the re J solution was calculated, in soma measure, to ac | cmnplish ! He then defended himself for pre i senling pe itiona for the abolition of slavery, on [ the ground of t o right of petition, hut he avowed he was. nod always had been, averse to the prayer of such petitioners, Mr.Thompsnn then modified his resolution so as to omit the sl.aiemant that the object of the petitioners was the abolition of slavery; hot he contended that the presentation or attempt lopre sent any memorial from s’aves, was insulting to the House, and to the Southern people. Mr. Pieitens look the same ground. Messrs. Glas coek Pinckney, an 1 tcuvler of Al t„ all stipporfed the resolution ofcensure. The House adjourned without coming to any decision ; an I it was then reported among the members that lh« petition was signed hy persons calling themselves slaves. an I prayed that Mr. Adams and every abolitionist he expelled from the House ! Th* question was again taken upon Tuesday. 1 Mr. Jenifer rose, and reading a report of the re-j marks of Mr. Adams on the day previous, of which I have given the substance, he asked whe the report was correct t Mr. Adams replied in the affirmative, and with the consent of Mr. Jeni fer, proceeded to explain his remark'. J\o man, I ho said, had a tight to infer ftom hia remark , that the petition prayed for the abolition of slave ry. At the same tioie he declared, that the time ciicurnstanrc of a petition being from tlnves would lie no inducement with him to width dd its pre sentation, but he would not hive presented it if it had prayed for the abolition ol slavery. He meant not to oiler any disrespect or indignity to the House —ho meant not to trifle with the feelings of any p irtion of the country. On the contrary, he had a-ke I the question, in consequence of his determination to abide hy tho decision of the House whatever it might he. Mr. Jenifer then addressed the House in strong terms of condemnation of the conduct of Mr. Ad ams, and in support of the resolution of censure. The debate now assumed a great latitude, Messrs. Dromgoole, Lawler, Alford, Bynum, and Thompson, spoke in support of the proposition to censuro Mr. Adams, Messrs. Philipps, hud Cushing oppo-ed it. Mr. Robertson, of Vn. also opposed the passage of the resolution, hut condemned in the strongest terms the conduct of Mr. Adam*. The House again adjourned w ith out coining to any decision—the pending ques tion being 1 on a resolution of Mr. Patton, of Vn. condemnatory of the presentation of any petition or memorial from slaves, hut proving that in con sideration of Mr. Adams having disclaimed nl intenlion to show any disrespect to the House, all further proceedings in his case should bo sus pended , I do not think it probable that the House will adopt any resolution of censure. The Senate was oc upiod during the whole of Monday, in the presentation of petitions from va-1 rious members. The question of reception wai raised by Mr. Calhoun', and after debate in which Messrs. Preston, Morris, Bayard, Weirs ter, and others took part, but in the course of which no thing came out that in my opinion she 1 any il - on the well known views of the*various Senators. I therefore do not think it necessary to occupy any apace with a particular notice. The L ind Dill which was rncnmmittol to the Committee on Public Lauda was reported ogitin with same m a.lific iiion*—leaving out the gradua tion clause, and retaining the preemptive features —but rcsliivtingthe sales to actual settlers to two sections. Tho measure has been the subject of discussion; and some important amendments have been made, bat no decisive action his yet been had upon it. To-day, in pursuance of the provisions of the Constitution, the members of both branches of Congress assembled in the House, foj the pur pose of ascertaining and'settling the election of President and Vice-President of the United States. The President of the Senate presided, Messrs. F. Grundy. Lincoln, and Thomas, acted as tellers, The President of the Senate then proceeded to unfold and give to the tellers the returns of the electoral voles from each sovereign State of tins Confederacy, who proclaimed them aloud, when the returns were got through, the President then announced the result, and declared Mar in Van Boren to be duly olrcUd President of the United Elates, for four years, subsequent to the 4lh of March next, that no election of Vice-President had been effected, and that it therefore devolved on tho Senate to make n choice nut of the two highest candidates on the list, It. M. Johnson and Francis Granger. The Senate then repaired to their chambers and there went into the election of a Vice-Presi dent. Richard M. Johnson, received thirty-three votosi (those of Mr. Moore of Alabama, and Mr. Black of Miss., both opposition Senators inclu ding) Francis Granger, received sixteen voles, that of Mr, Wall, of New Jersey, a Van Burcn man.) li Mean.

Remonstrance of the Grand Jnry of i j Uaabiugl »u County, D strict of Co- j Imu bin. a ralnst the Itcccplion by | Can;r«.ol Abolition Po.itionw. 1 To the Senate and House of Heprenentalives of : . 1 the United Scales, in Cony ess assembled: The undersigned, jurors of die United Slates I for the county of Washington, in the District of | Columbia, with feelings ofdecp mortificulion and j unfeigned regret, are constrained to make the | ! present remonstrance to Congress on a subject i I not only nffe ting the pecuniary interest of a con- ■ I sideralrle number of this District, hut what is of ! much greater importance, the peace and tran | quillity of the whole federal community. They allude lo ihe formation of certain self-created so i defies in some of the States of the Union, and the consequent presentation lo Congress of peti . lions for dm abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia. The undersigned heg leave to call the particu lar attention of Congress to Ihe injustice and other great and growing evils likely to he pro duced by these proceedings, and to ask such in terpositi tii on the part of your honorable body, as mav arrc-l, and finally pul a st p to their further progress. Coming, as the jurors do, from differents parts of I lie county, it may reasonably he supposed that they possess a correct knowledge ofthe views and sentiments ofthe people thereof in regard to this all-absorbing and momentous question ; and in what follows they feel confident, that they - speak the opinion of every man of practical sense, who is the true and genuine friend to the j peace of society, of die federal Constitution, of the union of Ihe Slates, and of rational liberty. Il is not to be inferred, because the people of this District have hitherto abstained from the ex pression of their opinion publicly in respect lo llie meddlesome conduct of those petit oneis, that therefore their proceedings had, at any time, received any count nance from, much less die ! support and approbation of the people of this community. Their silence on the subject has been caused principally by the h -po (though as it now appears a delusive one) that time and due reflection on the part of those, by whom they have been so long and so unjustly assailed, would cor rect the evil and unneighhorly spirit which die lated their iniquitous proceedings; alike destruc tive as they are of private right and the pnb.ic tranq uillily. It is believed that a similar instance cannot lie found in the annals ofthe utilized world, wher individuals belonging to a sepaiale community, having no common lie of interest or feeling w ith another, and living under different laws, hate vouchsafed thus to obtrude by inlcimeddling in the domestic afliiirs of Ihe latter in any shape m form whatsoever, much less to throw lire- rands among I hem. destroying their peace and harmony, a d even endangering their lives. Am! all thi-, too. under tho garb of that holy religion which lea Hies peace on earth and good w II towards men. Again-t tho right :Ims claimed and exer cised by certain individuals and self-crea ed so . eielies of tbc non-slaveholding Slates, a solemn piiotkst is hereby entered. Congress, when legi.-Jaiing on the afliiirs of ibis District, is supposed to act exclusively as a local Legislature. It thence results that these petitioners have just the same right (and could exercise it with equal or more propriety) to pe tition that body to abolish or repeal our laws re gulating descents, our inspection laws or any o'her law that might not suit the particular tastes and fancies of those intermeddlers, as to petition for the passage of any law depriving any portion of the people here to their property. IThalsoever Ihe tnr makes property, is property. It is scarce necessary to show to your hnnora able body that when tho present Constitution was made and adopted by the Slates, slavery ex isted in each of them lo a greater or less extent. Such of (hem as passed laws for its gradual abo lition, did so, from time lo time, without any otli eious interference whatsoever in tho matter on the part of their sister States, or any of die inha bitants thereof. Snell nn interference would not, for one moment, he tolerated nr permitted. Have the peo le of this District become so abject ami degraded, so sunk in the eyes of the whole civi lized word, so completely stripped of every attii- j hate of freemen, of every vis go ofthe common i rights of American citizens, that they must lame- j ly submit to this mo 'slrous encroachment upon ! their rights by strangers having no interest or i feeling with them I Is there, indeed, no remedy for this, to them ! real orievanck I Is that officious, meddling! spirit which invades the sanctuary of their peace ful fire-sides, excites their slaves to insubordina tion, and oven imirdcr; which de troys the happy and peaceful, and even friendly relations which 1 hitherto subsisted between master and servant — to receive no rebuke, no check, no discountenance whatsoever from the body which the Constitution j has (for weal or fir wo lime will determine) given the “ exclusive" power to legislate for them in “ all cases ■whatsoever ? One of these, avo 'ed objects of the Constitu tion- as expressed in the instrument ilselt, was to KNsnni; uomks ric TiiAxaniLLiTv. Do these presentations of those petitions, year after year, ; with all the exciting circumstances a tending , them, tend to onsin* domestic tranquillity ? No j one will answer this question in the affirmative, j The Grand Jnry, therefore, feel themselves hound and called upon on this question. Some | es those factitious, and, indeed, most of them, arc utiKtuu's in tho extreme, because they tend lo ! bring the laws into contempt, excite to violence,- and endanger Ihe public peace; much more have 1 they a tendency lo do this than the miserable anonymous pamphlets, which, not long since, were circulated in (his Di Iricl, and for doing which, an individual was put in jail, indicated, and inesented for a libel. To put a slop to these unauthorized ami disorganizing proceedings, to allay and cheek the spirit which thus in.-idionsly ?fceks to intermeddle with our domestic concerns, sowing Ihe seed of discord and insurrection where • formerly prevailed concert, harmony and obedience j to the laws ; ami above all, to prevent Ihe master suii ils who are covertly moving thiegrnnd machine from making this District th v fulcrum on which to plant their lever, by which this Government (the world’s l ost hope) may he uprooted and over turned ; the undersigned do most respectfu ly request and beseech, that hereafter no petitions may be received or entertained by Gongress from these self created societies, or other inhabitants of the non-slaveholding Slates, for the abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia; ami they as in duly will pray. &e.
