gether with your o;vn beloved Georgia, forms a
part of the greatest and freest nation on earth.—
The cries of defenceless women aud helpless in-
f nits have called you to protect them from the
tomahawk and scalpiug knife—you have heard

your brow, to receive the gratitude of a virtuous
and enlightened people.
Go, Georgians, go, and prove to the world tiiat
uo matter what may ho y..ur party political dis
sensions at lioiue, in times of peace—when your
common country is in danger, all men. of every

will never permit a star to bo effaced, or a snipe

and Lawrence, nyc, and your own Georgian too,

would not vote lor conferring upon an Executive

was j
one of tho most exciting scenes ever acted on the '
floor of the House. It was upon a resolution]
iutrndured by .Mr Attains for the appointment of
a select committee to inquire iuto the Causes of
the failure o f the 3 millions. In the course of
bis remarks, lie adverted to an expression made
a few days since by Air Webster, that “he would
not liavc vottd for the appropriation, had the en
emy been at the gates of the Gapitob" Mr A.
declared, “that the man who held ami express
ed such sentiments, had hut one step further to
go, stud that a natural one—to joiu the cutmics
of bis "country !”
The effect of this was electric. A most extra
ordinary amt almost uoparallelled sccue took
place. A spontaneous hurst of applause broke
from almost every part of the Hall. “It came
sudden, (says a very graphic spectator.) quick,
unexpected" Concert could not have pr .duced
any thi-.tg !iko it. Imagiue, if you please, that
y.iit are standing in a calm, clear day, in a lofty
edifice, where all is quiet ami stillr when a sin
gle holt strikes the building 10 atoms, aud you
may form some idea of the manner of tins thing.
The older memlicia, when matters became set
tled, rose and stated that such au occurrence
was hitherto unknown.’’ Air *\ ise followed,
hut did not finish before the adjournment. He
spoke with great animation, dealing Ins blows
nghl au<| left, making an onset ou Mr * 'amlire-
leug, not sparing even the Speaker in his chair.
In speaking of the memorable scenes of the last
iibbi of the session, he described some of the
nu mbers as sleepy, some tired, some as noisy,
ami. some as drunk!
Tho Washington correspondent of tho Balti
more Patriot gives a particular, graphic, and
we s.tspcet, a tolerably impartial sketch of Mr
Adams'remarkable speech. He says the “at
tack upon ,Mr Webster was gratuitous, but pow
erful bevond any thing (be) ever listened to.”
Wo lay "this accouut ol tlie speech before our
readers: , ..
“.Mr Adams now commenced by alluding to
the declarations which had recently beeu made
in at: other place, that to that House belonged
tlt't rcspousiiuhty of losing the Fortification Bill,
lie weutoui to animadvert upon the opinions &
declarations which had been made in that place,
which he said were untrue,and not warranted by
facts. As be began to grow severe, tne Speak
er reminded him that the Rules of the House did
not permit a member to animadvert upon the pro-
ccedirgs of the Senate. .Mr Adams said he did
nut say anything about the Senate ; he spoke of
a place; he’ did not say what place. It was left
with the members of that House to associate-in
their minds'the Senate of the United States or
anv other body with that place that ho spoke of,
See. Mr Adams then went on. The members
in great numbers began to flock round hint. It
was palpable that something tremendous was
anticipated. And true enough, the orator began
to bear down upon the Senate with renewed sar
casm. Air Mercer now called him to order and
stated the poiut of order. The Speaker decided
that lie had no authority to pul a construction
upon Mr Adams’ words.'aod therefore as lie did
not name the Scuale ho ooflltl not say that lie
was out of order. (Here cries of “go ou-go on”
were utt'-red by many members.)
Mr A. went on more and more severe. Mr.
Mercer ngnio called him to order and reduced the
objectionable words to writing. Another mem
her made oue or two unsuccessful efforts to “say
a few words,” hut consoled himself as well as he
could by giving utterance to a few vollics of
round oaths in an under tone) at the disorderly
state of things. The worth Mr Mercer took
dowu, Air Adams Would uotaduiil to he his. Tho

Wo have been permitted to make the follow
ing extract from a letter received here :
“New Fork, Jan. 21, I83G.
“You have doubtless ere this, heard of
the great disaster which lately befel our city, to
gether with the particuluis—nearly six hundred
buildings chiefly stores, ol the first class were
burned, by which 15 Insurant e companies were
ruined. Wo observe tltat the _ impression exists
abroad that our eitv is entirely destitute of Goods;
so far from there being a scarcity, the assort
ments were never larger nor better, aud the late
arrivals from Europe have completely replenish
ed the market. Those merchants who were so
unfortunate as to be burned out, have all procu
red stores and the majority of them are now
ready to see their mercantile friends.”
CANADA.
We have kept our eyes upon the sayings aud
doings «>( our triends in the provinces, for some
time past, hut our iime and columns have been
so completely engrossed by the concentrating trou
bles of.our own government and people, with
France, and Mexico, and the Sem'moles, and the
Abolitionists, nud Mr Barton, and Mousit-ur I’a-
geot, and the great fire, that we have not been "-
hie to bestow much editorial attention upon the
Canadas. Nevertheless, the movements in that
quarter begin to assume quite an interesting as
pect, anti we shall not lie iu the least surprised to
hear of some rather serious quarrelling there in
due season. The latest *boti? to gnaw’ that has
been thrown before the public, is a proclamation
of Lord Gosford, Captain General and Governor,
&.c &-c.
U seems that a number of British residents,
conceiving tho connexion of the provinces with
the mother eouutry, and their own rights and lib
erties. to he endangered, by the revolutionary
doctrines and proceedings of the House of Assem-
blv, had organizetl them-elvcs tn miiitaire., under
the name of the British Rifle Corj>s, with the in
tent of lending their aid as circumstances might
require, in maintaining the constitution ami pre
serving the rights aud privileges thereby conferred!
This incasuie it seems, has afflicted the radical
propensities of Lord Gosford. and has elicited
from his excellency a solemn proclamation, in
which he denounces the British Rifle Corps oil
various grounds of misconduct ai d evil iuletniou,
ami especially for having usurped his gubernato
rial privilege, by plat ing tho royal arms at the
head of their published notices—a liberty which
his losdsltip seems to thiuk highly censurable. He
therefore declares it and the other doings of 1 lie
corps, unconstitutional aud. illegal ; solemnly
warns all his majesty’s liege subjects to abstain
from taking any part therein ; calls upou and
commands all magistrates nod officers charged
wi’h the conservation of the peace, to repress all
such illegal and daugerous proceedings ; aud up
on all the liege subjects of his majesty to be ac
tively aiding the aforesaid magistrates and offi
cers, iu the performance of the duties sd enjoined
and charged upou them.
What course the Rifle Corps will take in this
emergency, remains to be seen, the papers inti
mate that they will scarcely submit without at
least an effort at resistance. N J" Com.
Some of the Northern papers are already pou

fellow citizens in Florida, but for the murderous

AVe trust the people of the South will have too
much self respect to patronise Newspapers which
propagate such seulinieuts. We take the fol-
ovving from that Tappanite paper, the New
York Journal of Commerce :
“Alt, wrll-a-dav,—this is the last and the most
desperate struggle «>fthe Indian. He fights now
gloriously and gallantly,—with tho spirit of a
thousand lions in his breast.—for the sod oil which
he was horn, and which was Lis just inheritance
front his ancestors. Wo, by a forced and cor
rupt treaty, call it ours. We send armed men,
int-u armed with the whiskey bottle, a weapon
mere terrible than the rifle,—to persuade them to
abide by a treaty which they never made, and
to cross the Alississippi never to* return. The
spirit of their tribe,--the Great Spirit walking in
the sky,- tells them that they must perish. The
voice af their fathers calls them to their home,—
to theonlv horns which the white utan has left
them,—the grave. The preventive pow er of
this Government is nothing; but its vengeance is
tcirih|c, as the poor Indian has more than oitco
experienced. I’repnra lions are milking.-—not
for the defeat of the Seminoles, but for their cx-

Should never know distress.

Than win thee to destroy.
