ABOLITION OF SLAVERY IN THE D. C.
Mr. ADAMS frreseuted a petition -from one
bundled aud fifty tfomeu, wive* and daughters
of Iti* immediate constituents, praying fAr the ab
olition of slavery iu the District of Colt ttnbia.
Mr. GLASCOCK objected lo the rec.sptiou of
ibis petition.
Air. ADAMS did uot expect that auy v objec
tiou would have been tundo to ilia recap tiou of
‘thi* petition, TIm petition was eutirely tespert-
l'ui iu term*-, and catnolroui tvoiaeu, mother* and
daughters of hi* immediate coustitucu.ts. t Uthe
last session Of Congress, alter much -dsbttt e, it
was decided that petitions of this kind .shouhl be
received, but provision was made for disposing of
them afterwards \ and that precedent went so tar
as to iusure the reception of these petitions. It
appeared to him that tho decision of the liou te
at the last session, weut quite far enough t»sup w
press the right of petition of tho cilizeus o» r this;
country, aud quite far enough tu suppress tho
freedom of speech; hut this motion weut otto
step further, it weut to settle the prtuciplo -that i
petitions upon a subject :is interesting to -the
whole nation us auy other, should not even bo
received ; and that too, directly iu the face of the
constitution itself. Ho hoped the people of this
country would uoUttmiely submit to the injustice
nud wrong which would lie inflicted upon them
by their immediate representatives, iu deciding
that their petitions should not he teccived. He
lamented deeply that tiio freedom of tho press'
and the freedom of speeeii on this subject had
been viofeutly assailed for the last twelve mouths,
lie lamented deeply the decision, aud determina
tion of the House at tho l:t*l sesriuu, so for as' it
went; hut this motion went one step further; and
he hoped that it ivudd tu >i be sanctioned by the
House. It was always iu i;he power of the House
to reject tho prayer of it p etitiun; and tho House
bad at the last session, by au overwhelming ma
jority, giveu a decision, iie advance, of the dispo
sition to be made of pe titions of this kiud, and it
was now ready, too restdy. to raise its voico a-
gaiust these petitions, and reject the prayer cl
them. Ilecotisidcrctl that, from the fact that this
petition came from women, wives, mothers; and
daughters of his constituents, persons of tiie great
est respectability, that at ought to bo received and
treated with respect. .He put the case to gentle
men : suppose the petitions to he from their own
.mother*, .would they treat it with contempt or
disrespect? Ho trusted uot. Then as this peti
tion tvus from respectable cilizeus of Massachu
setts. mid addressed to tho House in respectful
language, he hoped it would he received. He
did not consider that tho House had nny thing to
fear front this petition of females, certainly not
insurrection and blood and slaughter. He hoped
therefore, that the objection would bo withdrawn
and that tho panic which had been gotteu up
would not deter gentfemeu from doing justice in
regard lo these petitions.
Air. GLASCOCK remarked that it was well
known wliat position ho occupied before that
House and tho country, on this subject, at the last
session of Congress; and if he were, oil the pres
ent occasion, to accede to the proposition of re
ceiving a petition of this character, it would be
construed iuto an abaudonuicnt of the principles
he then assumed. No tnmi had, nr could have,
a higher regard for petitions emanating from such
a quarter, if upon proper subjects, than himself;
hut it was time, from tho course aud scene* act
ed nt the last session, that tho s e who believed
they possessed the right not to receive those peti
tions should have the privilege which, they con
ceived secured to them by tbe'niles of the House
niiil the constitution of the Utiitcd State*, to have
their vote* recorded against petitions of this char
acter. This opportunity had been denied at the
last session. ‘
If thi* were a new subject, a subject upon
which the information of this House had uotbeeu
already sought, and upou which the opinions of
that House had uot been obtaiued, emanating
ftnm daughters aud mothers, ho would respoud
to it as fccliuglv, and receive their petitions as
freely tts the geutlenian from Massachusetts, or
any other gentleman, and vole also to lay it on
tho table without reading, or, as the geutlemau
himself said on a former occasion, send it to sleep
iu the tomb of tho Capulets. - It tvas true that
this petition emanated from females; but Mr. G.
must be permitted to remark, that he had great
doubt* whether all tbeso petitious were uot got
up for effect of some kind or other, and that au
improper influence had beon exercised over them
by mischievous aud desiguiitg tneu. The geutie-
tuau had apjiealed tu those who had mother* aud
harm, he therefore moved lhal the petition itself,
and the objeciiou to its reception, be severally laid
on the table.
The CHAIR said it w»akl he Hi order to move
y» lay the question of reception ou the table, hut
not to iuclude the petition,. That motion prevail
ing, would suspend the motion ou tbe petition it
self, aud it would remain in. the possession of tbe
gentleman frouv Massachusetts.
Mr. GLASCOCK appealed from the decision;
hut the Chair having stated the grounds of it; and
referred to the rules bearing- upou the poittr, Mr.
G. withdrew hi* objection.
Air. REED asked for the yea* aud nays ou
the motion to lay on the table, which were or
dered.
The questiou was then taken; and decided in
the affirmative—yeas 130, nays 68.
So the preliminary question of reception tvas
laid ou the table.
Mrv ADAMS then rose and said, that as be
understood, by tbe decision of the Speaker, the
petition itself was uot laid on th* table, but only
the motion to receive it, in order to sairo tbe time
of the House, he gave notice that he-should cull
up the motion for decisiou every any ns long as
he should be permitted to do so by the House.
He felt himself impelled to this course, because
he should not have performed his duty to his con
stituents so long as that petition was not received
itnd so long as the House had not decided they
vvoultl not receive it. Mr. A, was proceeding fur
ther, when
Air. PINCKNEY roso to a point of order.
The CHAIR decided that uuder the rules the
notice of motion could uot l>* debated.
Air. ADAMS reiterated .his notice, and decla
red hi* intention to renew-it, from day today,
until it was decided.
Mr. A. th- if presented anojher memorial sign
ed by 228 women of South Weymouth, the wives
aitd daughters, he said, of his immediate constit
uents, praying for the aholiiinu of tlavory aud the
slave trade in the District of Columbia.
Mr. A. said, a* a part of his speech he should
read tha memorial itself, which was very short,
aud would not consume much time. He was pro
ceeding therein, when
Mr. PINCKNEY inquired if the doing so was
iu order?
The CHAIR said the gentleman had a rig!)*.
uiltibT the rule, to make a brief statement of its
contents, bul nothing more. It was uot for the
Chair to decide whether the gentleman shouhl
tnako the statement iff liis own language or in
that of the paper itself.
Air. ADAA1S said he read it as a p.tri of Ins
speech, and was proceeding again to do so.
when
Air. CHAAIBERS of Kentucky renewed the
point of order made b,y Air. Pinckney.
The CHAIR then decided,, that as tho ‘15th
rule declared that a member presenting a petition
should coufiue bimselli to a brief ver.brj stu.teta.eiit
of its contents, and as. tbe lex parli'- I’ierMiriu, as
given in Jeflersou’s Manual, laid it down that no
member could read any paper to the House with
out leave, uot even bits owu speech, therefore tts
tile question had beeu.raiscd. be decided that the
gentleman from Massachusetts could uot insist
upon reading ibis memorial.
Air. ADAiMS appealed front that decision; and

THE BRUNSWICK BUBBLE BURST
Dear 8ir—You say in your paper of yesterj,”
quoting from the Darien Gazette of the 13th in«t ti/'
the Bubble h.-ld burst, aud that about 200 mecha i* 1
qnd laborers have within a few days, psseej throuS
Darien on their way to Savannah; the same
lias before announced the Undertaking of making
canal 12 miles long, a splemlid Bubble, and that it, 1
Yankees had Been decoyed into the snare by
Mai SC speculators, and have very gratuitously. U |V,.. I( j
their condolence to the deceived.—They have also a,
serted’tliat the Government officer* who were deput/t
a few months since to survey the Brunswick Bar i
Harbor, had made up their report in favor of a N'a vi |
Station at that place before leaving Boston, a n *j tl,!
their visit to Brunswick was a mere sham, that the
Port of Daricmwas muck-more favorable for cominerco
and that vemete stmlffenter Darien, dra wing about -'a
feel of water. The Grand Jury of the county hav
volunteered to present Col. Loami Baldwin, for g rts !
injustice, and for Ji false report in stating thatve.,, /
could not come to Doboy WanJ-at eommonhigh water
tides, drawing more than 14* feet of water. Tbe m,
tlcineu connected with the Brunswick enterpriie f ef .{
much obliged to the writers in the Darien Gazette f ur
all their kind feelings towards the speculation, and
justly appreciate their motives. They regret however
that the Darien gentlemen nre quite so sensitive on ih e ’
subject of Brunswick harbor and canal. The Bruns-
wick speculation wasnot entered into hastily and with-
out examination. So far back as July, 1833, Messrs
I’olUill, Lawson and Fort, ihtelligent members of the
Georgia Legislature, being appointed for the purpoj,,
by that body, made a report after a earefnl examine.,
tion that it was advisable for the State of Georgia to
render immediate aid in opening the Port of Bruns,
wick to the interior of Geortria, representing the j{ ar .
bor good, the location as healthy, and that the water
on the Bar, at 16 to 17 feet at low, and 22 to 23 feet
deep at high water. Col, Baldwin has confirmed the
Legislative report in all respects by hi* report, dated
June 6, JtSlfi, in which lie recommends the construe•
tion of a deep canal from Brunswick to the Altaniahn.

Mr, BOON moved ta lay the wratiraiuary
ques’fio'u on the reception, of tho petii*>u on the
tiillll*.
After some confusion Air. B. withdrew that mo
tion, at tho request of
JUr. A. MAiYN. who said, that wishing to save
tho. time of the House, aud the nation, he dc-
m anded tha previous questiou,
In reply to the inquiry of Air. Glascock,
The Speaker said.the main question would he
“■ Shall this.petition be received?”
Air. .GLASCOCK- That is all we want.
The previous questioatgas second#il—ayes 114
woes not counted, and the Main question ordeted
to lie put without a count.
The questiou was then taken aud decided iu
the affirmative—yeas 137, nays 75,
So the House determined that the petition
should be received,
Mr. HAYNES then moved 40 lay u ou the
table.
Air. ADAMS moved to refer it to the commit,
too for tho District of Columbia.
The former motion taking precedence. Me. A-
DA.MS asked for tho yeas and nays thcren-a,
which were ordered.
Mr. U1NCKNEY inquired if tlm motion was j S
susceptible of umendmeut
nearly opposite to Darien. Tho Legislature of Geor
gia.has granted a favorable charter tor this canal, and
taken 50,000 dollars in the stock. This enterprise
when completed, will probably draw the trade from
Darien, which place is surrounded by Rice Planta
tions, and is very sickly in tlifv summer. The Naval
Officer* who have been recently deputed to examine
the HarBorof Brunswick, will, no doubt, be able to
answer the writers in the Darien Gazette in such a
manner as will fully exonerate themselves from the as-
persions cast upon their honor and integrity; there
fore, this part of the subject will be left to them.
The presentation of Col. Baldwin bythe Grand Ju.
ry, indicate* a vindictiveness of feeling which men «f
high minds would be ashamed of. The gentlsim-i,
connected with the Brunswick enterprise have ihTdis
position to dfccry the merits of Darien;—their object is
to ilclvelwpe the resources of Brunswick. In doing
this may, and probably will, operate unfavorably on
the consfqutncc of Darien, but it will neither add to or
diminish the water on Dobov Bar, or at any other
point between Doboy Inlet and Darien. If, however,
there is as much water at the shipping Port of Darina
as the writers itt their Gazette would have us to be.
lieve, it is very surprising that freighting ship* should
not go there for cargoes, and prevent the coastwise
freight* to Savannah, Charleston, aud to northern
ports. Thi*, however, inav he susceptible of explan*
atijm, and I will leave it to the gentlemen at Darien.
Relative to the bursting of the Bubble, I beg leave
to-say, tluxtlhe Stockholders will pursue the undertak
ing steadily am} frrtrb'rvdy The result i* tocorue.—
Tilf 200 mechanics and, laborer* that have burst tlio
Bubble may be comprised, in, spine 10 to 20 laborer*,
who have violated, their contract by desertion in the
hope of getting more pay on some other of the public
works) in Georgia; but no lack, of desire seems to oxi„t
at Darien to prevent the enterprise from lieing pursued.
Thi* probably arises solely from the good feelings the
gentlemen entertain toward* the Stockholders, le*t
they may spend their money in vain.

Melancholy Occurrence.--On Tuesday feist, about 1A

Georgia Rail Road, were killed, while excavating, by
the falling in of the ground over their heads. A, tun

Most of the Whig Presses arc determined upon op
position to Mr. Van Uuren, “ right or wrung,"’ Any
other course, as tho Boston Atlas holds, is '’poor doc
trine.” They enter upon the new era with a firm res
olution to break down the Administration, There are
tcu>many indications: too many givings out; too ma
ny open avowals to that effect, to leave the slightest
doubt about it. Tlic pretexts to which they resort are
too idle for belief. Why cant about Presidential Dic
tation—the support of OlHee-IIolders, mid all that
slang. The. People heard ali this before the election
—and they repelled it ail.—Their vote* have stamped
their condemnation of the charges. Afr, Van Burcn
need not fear them, if he does his duty. Jf he adheres
to principle, he will retain the friends "who elected him,
and may defy his enemies. If ho betrays the people,
his friends will abandon him. Itcotnes then to thi* i»-
—the Whig presses will oppose liirn right or wrong.
But if right, tlic Republicans will support him.—Rich.

With melancholy feelings wc record the death of
Airs. Doxelso.v, the beautiful aud amiable wifo of An
drew Ja tkson llonelson, late private Secretary of the
President. This most estimable lady went to 'Tennes
see during the summer, and expected to return with
her unele on the first of October. For the most part,
since the beginning of this administration, Mrs. Dou-
elsn'n has presided at tiie President’s mansion; and all
who have visited it know with what amenity of man
ners, with what engaging and unpretending kindness
she welcomed the guests to its nospitalities. She was
destined not tc share the affectionate greetings with
which the country is prepared to salute the close of tha
President’s residence at Washington, with which iu all
its private and social relations, she was identified.—
Mrs. Donelson was seized with a hemorrhage of tho
lungs at her home is Tennessee, shortly before the pe
riod fixed for her return. She rallied "for a time, and
hopes were entertained of her recovery; butnrclnpse
in the early part of December, Imrried her to the
gravo on the 19th of the month.—Globe.
