Abolition of Slave rtf in the District of Columbia
Mr. Adams offered to present tlio petition of
one hundred nod fifty women whom lie stated to
he the wives aud daughters of his immediate
constituents, praying for the abolition of slaver-
y in tlio District of Columbia.
Of the Georgia delegation—Messrs, Glascock
nod Daw son, voted at; unit receiving tht peti
tion.
Messrs. Glenveland. Grautlaml, Haynes
and Owens, voted in favor of receiving the peti
lion.
At tho first blush, it might ho doomed by some,
surprising that these four members of Congi
professing to he the Representatives (ami so
are nominally)ofn slave holding State, should
thus persist in abusing the confidence that Ii
been reposed in them by their constituents.
For ourselves, we are not surprised at any thing
they have done, or may hereafter do. That
they will ever ho instrumental in doing any
good, no one expects, nod that they may by
llieir blundering do a great deal of harm, should
not astonish any one. Wo hclievo that there
w ill he hut one opinion prevailing throughout the
State upon this subject. We infer so for this
reason, that there will not he a press in the
State, that will have the temerity to justify these
men tn tho vote they havo given. Pinckney
was defeated in Carolina by his own party for
tho vote he gave tlio last session upon this very
question. Glascock was supported by both par
ties for the decided ground lie took ill opposi
tion to it. Glascock maintained his consistency,
and even PiucUuoy tho author of tho report re
commending the reception of these petitions,
had so much regard for the feelings, the merest
•ml the opinions of his constituents, as express
ed through the ballot boxes, that even fie voted
against tho measure. How can t'lenvelnml,
Grantlnnd, , Haynes, ami Owens render
au account of their stewardship to their constitu
ent* at home f How w ill they he aide to justi
fy their tecrcancy to Georgia f Whoso resolu
tion was it that they sustained, and with whom
were they acting a common part 1 John ({uin-
ry Ad uni, the avowed and (masted champion of
Aholitioinsin presented tho petition,—tlio peti
tioners sssy that “they will petition Congress
year after \ oar, session after session, until the
prayer of tho petition was heard and answered,"
These are the people who always have felt ami
openly expressed their hostility to tho institution
of slavery as it exists at the South, their petition
is so drafted as to express their feelings, it is not
couched in mincing or equivocal terms,—it open
ly declares the hostility of the petitioners to the
institutions of slavery ami to those w ho sanction
at with a positive assurance that these petitions
will he continued until their object is accomplish
ed. The four representatives from Georgia,
Messrs. Cleveland, Grantlnnd, lhn/ms, ami (he-
ens, sustained theso petitioners, t.ot this he re
membered. We veuturo to say that there arc
uono of their constituent* that will openly sus
tain thorn. We speak of theso men aside from
•uy party prejudice, wo would think the same
of them, and so express ourselves, wero they the
leaders and tlio only leaders of our own party.
They have done wrong, they have misrepresen
ted the feelings of their State, and we challenge
a denial from any source. They cannot justify
themselves for tho voto they have given, ami
which will in all nflertintoj ho brought up in
judgment against them. They have betrayed
tho State, aud they havo done it knowingly.

Mr. Jefferson't Opinions on Slavery.—The ab
olitionists frequently cite Mr. Jefferson's author
ity in sueli • garbled manner, as impose on tho
world the opiuioa that ho npproved of the vio

he was from the period of the commencement of
the Revolution opposed to the slave trade, can
not ho deuied, and that from tho time lie return
©d from his long residence abroad, he strongly
advocated emancipation is equally certain. We
learn from the memoir which he loft behind him,
that in the original draft of tho declaration of in
dependence. as prepared by him, lie had inser
ted the follow iug eloqueut condemnation of the
slave trade, which was however, struck out by
Cougress, at the instance of 80111I1 Carolina anil
Georgia. The charge against the King of F.n-
gland, is as follows :

Bui however these keen invectives might have

This protest, I understand, is in a still lof
tier strain of arrogance. He is quite indignant
at the passage oftlie resolution through the House
—although, he it remembered, his own political
friends voted for it—and kicks at tin* course of
tho committee, upon whom also, ns you are n-
ware, there is n majority of his yoke-fellows in
subjection to the dominant power, though not,
let us hope, in iniquity, lie regards ilie officers
of the deposite batiks aud himself as private in
dividuals, with whom Congress had nothing to
do; and, after a long rigmarole about Ids con
stitutional aud inalienable privileges, he wind
up with professing a willingness to answer all
questions touching matters of a public character,
of w liirh he lias know ledge.
The committee thought proper to take him mi
his own ground, and, making themselves judges
of w hat questions did refer to public matters,
they proceeded with the examination, which was
conducted hy Mr. I*»;rton. Whitnkt, howe
ver, refused to answer any of the questions w hull
Mr. I*, propounded to Inin in succession. In
making his replies, his manner was far from res
pectful to the committee or the gentleman w ho
frainad the questions. He would look at them,
(for, you will hear in mind, the whole examina
tion is conducted in writing,) then throw them
n«ide, with n remark thntihcy were inquisitorial, I
or concerned him as an individual—and lie de
clined to answer. One of.Mr. Button's ques-j
lions was so framed a - to require a direct - late .
ment, whether Judge Tan kt did not refuse to I
countenance Whitnkt, or recommend him for j
the situation he now holds ? This the witness
declined to answer, more particularly, lie said,
ns tho mover of tho inquiry had declared the
charge was true, and lie (Wuitxky) thought he
ought to prove it.
This you will remember was the subject of the
card Wiiitnkt lately published in the Globe, in
w hich ho pronounced the assertion of Mr. I*ky-
ton a falsehood and calumny. As Mr. I**-:r-
ton, whose fearlessness and magnanimity are
known to the whole country, and therefore re
quire no vindication, did not condescend to no
tice this card, W hitney doubtless felt himself safe
in exhibiting before the Committee his poor-
spirited spite, to a man so much elevated above
his miserable sphere. But Mr. Psit ton did not
allow this climax to the insolent character of his
general hearing to pass ui.noticed, lie rose, ami
began mi appeal to Mr. Gaulanh, thechairmaii.
on the insulting reply of the witness—hut very-
soon broke ofl—and stopping up to Whitnkt,
he addressed him thus; ** Vou TiiiKraml hob

committee, I’ll put you to pkatii !" Whitnky
was frightened out of his senses—but made no
reply—“ You said in your card that l shield my
self behind my constitutional privileges; now,
sir, I wish you distinctly to understand tliat I
waive nil privileges
Mr. Garland, the chairman, here interposed
to preserve order ; and Mr. Pktton resinned
his seat. Whitnkt then rose, and was procee
ding to speak, when .Mr. Pktton interrupted
him, commanded him to he silent, and declared
ho should not answer hut in writing. Mr. Wist:
her© remarked to his friend, that Whitnky wa>
unworthy o( his notice, lie attempted to draw

Hitherto “ I have treated him. said he, as if he
were a gentleman, and I will nut permit him to
iiimiIi me.”
Mr. Whitnky was then ordered to withdraw
—and Mr. IIamkk offered a resolution that the
last answer of the witness should ho returned to
him, as it w as no reply to the question, and was
disrespectful to a member of the committee.
This resolution w as adopted unanimously, so de
cided aud strong was the conviction of every
member that tlio demeanor nnd language of
this “great man” were improper and instil-
ting.
On Whitnkt'* return, this resolution was
read to him, and his wuswer given hack to him. J
He then apologized, and expressed his regret ^
for any disrespect he had manifested to the com
mittee.
To-day he has been much more pacific ; nnd
some important fact* have been disclosed in his
testimony. He admitted that he was the author
of the letter, recently published, and signed by
the six cashiers of tho deposite banks, recom
mending the establishment of a hank bureau in
the Treasury Department, and recommending
hiusklp! It. M. Whitnkt! as a proper per
son to he placed at the head of it! This letter
w as written while Kendall was acting ns tlr
f unquestioned policy to-day. The libe- f f
ration of Gen. ^ a nt a Amin by the Trxinu Govern
ment. we considered lobe a bold and decided stroke
of policy when the news fust reached us, nnd for

report has readied us—the fact has been verified—
the nutiriputed {excitement has sobered down into

the mine of patuolisin is undisturbed—thu torch of
oppression again applied, will explode in nn increa
sed ratio, nml the nppaiiiit apathy of our sous of
| liberty will be instantly transmitted into the fierce
| energy of determined conquer* is.
Wo have said wc did consider tho liberation of
General Santa Anna a bold stroke of policy, and
wc might have said, an extension of magnanimity
on the part of Texas verging on indiscretion: but
w e have reflected; we have heard the opinions of ma
