'i’he statement o! uy ftdi concurrence in the sentiments expressed by the citizens of Al i banv, in publi;- meeting, the must important of I which are as follow.- , viz : “ That the constitu tion ot the I ailed States carries with it an ud • jastmmii of a:! questions involved in the delibe rations wbic!: led to its a ’.option, and that the i compromise of inieiest in which it. was founded, ’ is binding in Imirnr ami good faith, indepcndi rd f;/ of thef;rce if agrcintrnt, on all who live 1 under its protection and pait:-: ipato in the ben efits ot which it is the source.” “That the re j Union ot’master and slave is a waiter e.xclusive- I 1. beloiHj’mg to the people of each Stale, wltli j in its owm boundary, and that any attempt by the Government or people of anc ether State, lor by the General Government, to interfere ; with or disturb it, weald violate the snirit of ; that compromise which lies at the basis of the fed -ral compact.” That we can only hop:.- to maintain tb.e I. ii-.mi of the States bv abstaining t Item interi'i-rer.ce with tiie laws, dmiie.;t><- poli . cy, and peculiar interests of 1 ■> ;-ry o-i.i r S. :te.” “That ah -; <ii interference which teuiis to ali : entile one portimi of our coimtrynici: from the rest, deal t ves to be frowned tq.on with indig ‘ nation 1.-y ail who cherish the principles of our revolntionai”, lathers, and who de. item preserve the coa-tuiit on by tiie exercise 01 that spirit of amity which animated its fnxners.” “ That they deprecated the conduct of tho e who are attemptin'/ to coerce their brethren in other States into the ab ilition of slavery, by appeals ' to lite lears oi the master and lo tho passions of , the stave ; a-.-d that they could rot but consider ’ them as disturbers of tho -public peace, and would, by all constitutional means, exert their iniluetice 10 arrest the progress of such meas ures.” “That whilst they would-mair.tain in violate the liberty of sp< cell and the freedom of tho pros.-;, they considered discussion , which, from th: ir nature, tend to iafame the public . mind and put in jeopardy the ,ty of their fellow-citizens, at war with < vety rule of moral duty, and every sitgeestiott of hu manity, and would be constrained; moreover, lo regard those, who, with a fi.li knowledge of their pernicious tendency, persist in carryin”' them on, as didoyid io the Union.” That the people of dto south would do great injustice if i they allow themselves to believe that the few w ho are interfering with tho question of.- Invery, 1 arc acting in accordance with tl.e sentiments of thanottiiuj on the suiije t.” And,finally,“ ihat they made these declarations to their southern . brethren in th..- :.:ima spirit ofamity which bound together their father and <mrs, dm inga long and eventfid strug.de for independence ; and that they did, in full remembrance of tliat common association, plight to them their faith to main tain in practice, as far as lies in their power, what they had thus solemnly declared.” These -.iew.;, thus expressed air! sanctioned by myself, appear to me to cover tl.e whole ground, save the aUtract question to which you have been pleased to call i:i r attention, and I chi'cri’iiily embrace the opportunity you have felt it your duly to as ord me, to explain myself fully on that also. As anxious as you can pos sibly be, to arrest all agitation upon this disturb ! mg subject, 1 have considered the question 5 ou have propounded to me, with a sincere defile to arrive at da- conehifion, that the sulj-.-ct, in relation to tl.e i) tricl of Colombia, can be safely placed on the same ground on w hich it stands in regard to ti c State 5, viz: tlicwant e,' constitutional power in Congress to interfere in j the matter. I owe it, however, to candor, to I say toyou, that i l-.ave not been able- to satisfy | myself that the grant to Congrgss, in the consti tution, of the piAvcr of “ < xilusiee legislation in ell cai.es whatsoever" over tl.e Federal , trict, does not confer on that body the same au thority ovt r the subject that would otherwise have been posses, ed by the States of Maryland and Virginia ; or that Congress might, not, in virtue thereof, t’kesuch steps upon the subject in this District, as those Slates might them selves take w ithin their own limits, mid consis tently with their rights of sox creiguty. Thus viewing the matter, I would not, from I the lights now before me, feel myself safe in 1 pronouncing that Congress doe.; not possess the 'powerof interfering with or abolishing slaw ry in tli.-: District of Columbia. But whilst such arc my present impressions upon the abstract question of tb.e legal power of Congress—im pressions which 1 shall at all times be not only ready, but disposed, to surrender upon convic tion of error—l do not hesitate to give it to you as mv deliberate and well considered opinion, tnat there are objections to the exercise of tl.i ■ power, against the w ishes of the slave-holding i States, as imperative, in their nature and oidi \ gallons, in regulating tho conduct of public men, </.? the most palpable want of constili:- 1 tiona! power would be. You have alluded in yonr letter to the con spicuous situation in which 1 have been placed i before the public, and Itake it lor grunted, that ; it is to that circumstance, rather than to any oth . er, that 1 am to ascribe tb.e solicitude felt by : yourselves and your fellow-citizens in respect jto my views on this subject. I recognize, to the fuilestcxtent, the propriety of litis desire on your part; and although there is nothing m your letter making the avowed nece .sary, i pre fer thatnot only you, but all the people of the I nited Slates shall now understand, that if the desireoi that portion of them which is favora ble to my elevation lo tie (,'hicf Magistracy, should be gratified, ! must go into the Presiden tial chair, the indexible and micumprcinisiiig opponent of any attempt on the part of Coti . gross to abolish slavery in the District of ('oiiim -1 bin, against the wishes of tl.e slax('-holding ; Stales ; and also with the determination e<]ual flf di cidi'd-, resist the slightest interference (wilh the subject in the Stales where it exist:;. I hi saying this, I tender neither to them nor to j you, any pledges, bm. declare only settled opin ions and convii lions () f duty. Those who, doubt that they will Le cm t ied into full and lair 1 ehect, a.-- under no obligations to trust me. An ! opportunity is afforded them to exercise tin ir | free choice in the matter, and they may be as- I I ■.tired, thal lheie is no one h-ss likely to complain I of its exercise than myself.

Viexving the mailer in tl.i.; light, it ir. my clear and settled cpinion, t!.at the 1 ; k rai Govern ment ought to abstain -romdoing so, and that it is tb.e sacred duty of those xvlio'm the people of the United Stalt; eiilru.t with the control of its action, so to use tl.e constitutional power with w nidi they are invested as to prevent it. I think it due to the occasion, ami only a >.im l>l.‘ act of justice to mx' i’ello.v-ci:i/.eus of the north, of ail politii al p irl’.e.-, to add the'expres sion of my full Lclicf lliat the opinions above ex pressed, accord in sub. lam e v ilh those enter tai.-.ed by a. larger majority of the people of the non-slave-holding Stales, than has ever before . existed 111 those .States on a public question of eq uil ina »t itude. Lt is also due to them to sax, tl’.al tL-eir .sentiments on thissulject spring out of comfideratiur.i; of too high a cuar acler, mm 100- to cou.M.qi:;- wc s ol too solemn an import, to be shaken by slic< us< s. With only a generous confidence eu tiie part of the south i.i their brc-ihren of the north, and a firm determination on the part of each to visit with tlieir sex crest xlis]>leasi.re any attempt to con nect the subject wilh pari;.' politics, those senti ments cannot be overthrown. All future at tempts on the part of the abolitionists to do so, will then only serve to accumulate and concen trate public oci'.mn 0:1 tliemsidves. That there are persons at the north who are far from con curring in the prevailing sentiment i have des cribed, is certainly true ; but their numbers, when compared to the rest of the community, are very inconsiderable ; anti if the condition of tilings be not greatly aggravated by impru dence, many of them, Ibave no doubt, will ul timately adopt setmder views of the subject; an It! : r.ffi tTs of those xvho max 7 persist iil the xvork of agitation, m.:v be overcome by reason, or rendered inoperative by constitutional icme dics. To onecl:n; of those v»!:o have kitlierto peti tioned Congress tor tii;'abolition of slavery in the District of Culrnnbi.:, 1 canuot forbear to re fer. I allude to the society of Friends, or the people usually denoniiii.ated Tl.e u niformi'y of th.-ir course upon this subject, the temperate manlier in which it has been manifes ted, mid tiie marked exee lencc of th. ir conduct and character, appear to have conciliated res -1 pect for their motives, even from those who (lif ter with them in opinion. As far as my observa tion Las enal.kd me to judge, it is due them lo Isay, that as there !.as been no in....■ations of any change oi'opinioa upon their pari during the 'present exciti meal, so Las there been 1.0 ex 1- d< nee of :: disposition to land themsclve t;» the I undue agitations of the public mind attempted jby others. There is certainly no cl tss of people ! in this country, xxi.o have a deeper inlerest in tho preservation of tb.e Union, mid of tl’.ehnpny ; system of goveriiment which it upholds, than they ; mid it lias now be :0:.i.: very apparent to all celledirg and obscrx itig minds, that the ques tion oi slavery in ti e District of Columbia can not be pressed to the remit thev* desire, with safety to those pqrambi nt objects. Do nottliesp considerations justify the hope, that from them, 'at least, we may reasonably expect, for the ftt tui" , a mad? of deaii.ig v. i.it the subject, which whilst it does no injustice to their principles, shall re pre. s instead ol incii using rgitalion, and not ( tidangcr lb.;- great i-nlerc. t lo wijicl. i have refened ? To doubt it would be to distru: t the influence which industry, r.ier ility, intelligence, and republican habits—qualities which all ad | mit them to possess in a high degree, arc calcu lated, in gieat emergencies, to exert upon the ; conduct’of their possessors. And for the like 1 reason, it may certainly be expected that well ; disposed persons ol other religious denontitia j tions, who, without a full con. ideration of the j difiicu'iies which surround this subject, mid of I the dangerous consequence to which the- efforts of the abolitionists so evicently tend, have lent to those efforts the influence ol their names mid ' character, will be careful hereafter to avoid the ! repetition of an error so unfortunate and mis | chievotts. In every view- of the subject, therefore, it ■ does not appear to me, that, although there certainly is, in tire pre-etit condition of the I country in relation to st, sufficient to excite the most serious attention, there is nothing' in the state of public opinion in the United States to justify that panic in the public mind, which invmibly tlisqualiliies those who pat take of it lit m dealing wisely or . successfully with the circumstances by which it is produced. I-’rcm abroad we have, 1 think, some right to expect less in terference than heretofore. We shall, lam confident, for some time at least, have no more foreign agents to enlighten as on the subject. Recent results here, and the dis cussions w ith which they have attended, can not fail to alii act the attention oi the reading and rcllecting- portion oftlte foreign public. By these means they will be made lo tinder slam! our real condition in this respect, and they will know that the unchangeable law of that condition is, that the slave question must be left to the control of the slaveltokl :iigStal( s tlieuisclvi s, xt illmut me’estationor interference from any qimrler ; that foreign intei feretice ol evi ry (l.scrq tion can only b ■ injuriou to the slax c, w ilium: 1 < tit Lt to any interest, ami will not be endured by any sec- j tion of our country ; and that any tut: tier- ; elite, coming ft om even the nott-slave-ltold- I ing portions of our own territory, is calcu lated to endanger the p( rpeltiity, and ifj sanctioned by the General Gox erimient, [ would inevetahly occasion the d i;solution I ofourhapppy Union. Seeing the subject in this, its true aspect, and coitcicus as they must Le, that the downfall of this republic would be the severest bloxv that the cause of liberty ami self, gov: rnttu nt could re ceive, and from, xvhich its recovery would lie hopeless, the wi.e and good u mongst thvm-lkosc who arc really guided by 1 tl.e principles'ol justice and humanity—will pause ami acknowledge that they Lave misapprehended the true bearings* of this question.

Alter all the efforts which have been made by the nulliliirs ol’ the South to fix the ciilirye of abolitionism upon Mr. Vail Luren, and notxx ithstanding their impudent assertions that lie is the candidate of the ■ abolitionists, fiicts every where have proven ‘ that the hostility of the fanatics lo that dis- tmguiohvd individual is not exceeded even by that oftlie nullilicrs themselves. Wbe -1 tixr any fraternal feeling exists between . these two branches of the opposition or not, there can be no question that they are both • laboring to put down Mr. Van Buren mid I the Administration party, and that their ! candidates for the Presidency, (White and • Harrison,) are more than suspected of be ing in lax or of “« xgslcni of gradual cnitin cipit'loii of our slaves." Judge White’s friend ami right band man al Knoxville, an i editor who knows am! is presumed to speak !;ts sentiments, op: nly avows his own par tiality lor such a tneasute, and Gen. Har rison has long been known to favor such opinions. A branch of the ojiposition also ; support for Vice President, in the person of 1 rattets Granger, a real, open, bona fide abolitionist oi the Tappan school. Now ,xx iii'ii wc consider that it is impossible, even ii t!ie opposition candidates get the eleeto -1 ral votes of every State where they run ' tickets, to eliect any election by the peo i tile, ami that the abolitionists and nttlliiiers ! are both laboring lo defeat tin election by ■ the people, each with a candidate of their i own, can we doubt that their vehement cry against Mr. Y'an Buren is all got up to > conceal their ow n operations from public view, by drawing attention to another ob ject, and thus screen them from the just re proaches of a virtuous peopdej' The ttulli-' iters give their votes with no other hope limn to bring the election into the House ofßepresentat.it es—the Federal Whigs and Abolitionists go to the polls wilh the same expectation—and having thus defeated the : wishes ol the people by throw ing the choice' upon Congress, they cannot there hope to succeed, except by compromise: for eleven ■ States are decidedly t an Buren in their ■ representation. Will the uullifiers then y ield to the abolitionists, or the abolition- ' isls to the nttlliiiers? One or the other parly must give in entirely, or they must .'plit tlte difference, mid suppport the aboli tion) Harris;at in the lions;.', xvith the. nttllifier Tyler in the Senate; or White the j ' “graduri emancipator” for President, xvith j the abolith nist Granger for bis Vice. This I must inevitably be the result—ami we ask I I the citizens of Georgia of all parties, are! ! you prepared to compromise with tb.e fa natiison tins snbjcct? V. ,11 you have atty j thing to do with them, in any way whatev-! er 5 Wc are far from charging upon the md-1 lifiers as a body , any connection xvith or disposition to countenance the designs of the incendiaries—on this subject we will lie ' more liberal titan their presses are towards 1 the Union party —but w; do believe that there are tui’d/tlimis men among them, who like “Luciler, fallen from his high estate,” but n xx ilh hatred and revenge against those who have placed them where they are, and who would sooner see their country torn in to fragments, than not regain their power. Os them we speak—it is to them our re nntrks apply.

In Saturday’s Globe wc commented on the vote against the Sjieakez’s decision, in xvhich he gave pi clarence to the main question on the report and : r«:;okt!ious against the abolitionists, ever the col lyei-al question arising out of the refusal of j .’dessrs. V. isn, Waddy Thompson and others to : vote. On “lomlay monnngMr. Patton, is found on the floor of the i louse, inveighing against the Speaker’s decision, and our modest- cital of his name. The notice bestowed on us is attributable to the fact that we distinguished the parties vo ting against the Speaker, into ABOLITION AN D 11A It RI SON M EN, NUI.LI Fl ERSAN D WHITE M EN, separating those otherwise indis solubly identified in the common design of crea ting sectional excitement and hostility out of the abolition question, by marking the first named class in italics, and the filter in small capitals, as we now republish them from the article of Saturday, in which they wet e thus introduced: ‘■\Ve mark the Abolition and Harrison men in italics—Nttlliiiers and V. hitemen in small capitals.

Some few . of their brethren absconded.” To imderstatid precisely tho nature of this coal ition of uullifiers and abolitionists against the Speaker’s decisions, it is necessary that the cir cumstances under which it was given, should bo scrutinized. The House had decided that the main question I should be put 011 the resolutions proposed express ly to close debate 011 the incendiary petitions, which had been kept up for mouths, lo the utter defeat ofbusiness, and obviously meant to make an incurable breach in the good feeling between the md South. Every body saw that if was the settled scheme of the enemies of tiie de mocracy to get up a sectional quarrel, to divido the southern republicans from the northern repub licans, audio risk the Inion itself, to rally a parly j for White in one cud aud Harrison in the other, with the avowed object of defeating an election of Prefideiit by the people, and'giving it to tiie House. In one wo.d, thei.ko'iticiii , and nnlll fiers, with the countenance of the opposition gen erally in Congress, were making the slave ques tion. notoriously for-ilia purpose of bringing the j i’rcsideutial question within their own control m tin: House. Toarrc.;t the debate which b, J con ; sinned months of the session, to the utter obstruc : tioaof all business but that of brewing up panic 1 in the south and abolition petitions in the north, j the previous question was at last applied to carry j Air. Pinckney's resolutions, referring all the in ] cendiary papers to a select committee. Tliesfime : necessity compelled the House to demand tho ! main question, when the report and resolutions I eme-ged from the committee. If the resumption iof incendiary harangues had been permitted, Means. Adams, Granger, Slade, Bell, Wise, ’ Wuddy Thompson, Pickens, &e. &c. would have 1 easily kept up tho Storm in the House until the Presidemlal election. There are about eighty members in the House who are ready to go ail lengths to bring the Presidency to depend on their : own votes. The abolition excitement is the only ■ expedient they can devise, which holds out the ; least hope of accomplishing this project; and the j lashing up a phrenzy about it in Congress, is the j only imide the agitators can adopt to inflame and . xa. perate the public f. cling ou the subject. If j the Oil <:ppe >ition parti'.'.ans could only 7 be iudulg- I cd on ti:is theme, each xvith half the time taken up by Air. Bell in his speech on his amendment ihat , obtained 6 votes, allow ing each two days instead j oi four, we should lia.gp at least six mouths added to these siou, employed in panick making. The House tolerated the tiullifier,Mr. Robertson, in a J speech, consuming, for three days, the time allot ted to the reports and similar business. This -peaking against time, convinced the body that it : was the determination of the ultras to speak out I the s< ision, and prevent, if possible, any decision <m the question—;!:e previous (pus ion was there- I fore voted, and the main question demanded. This is the privileged qn< ; lion, without xvhich, the I majority niu-.t forever•renittiq in the power of a :nin;:r:tg, deprived nltegether of the ability to bring any question to a vnic. Tiie pi < viotts ques tions to effect that for which it is intended, 11111,1 nit off all debate—all ainindinents—all iiwidintul \ur coiliitcnd quintions. This was the object in calling itpm Fmckney’s report: aud resolu tions. Yet if, by a rofusal to vote, Mcs&te. Ad ams, M ise, \\ addy Thompson, &.c., could have set aside the main question thus demanded, and I requiied the I lot;first to try and adjudge them j for ih irconlempt to the House, then the will of I (In: House to have the im.’ii questien would have ■ been subjected to the cbicano of those xvho 1 .started n secondary qmwtion for tljnt piAposc. in ’ a direct ia, u:t oll’crcd lo its authority. The t Speaker decided the rule in the only way in I wltii'h it could stand, compatibly' xvith the exis- I t: nee ol’the House as a legislative body. Bm wo return to Mr. Batton-, who yesterday at tempt, d to subvert the Speaker’s decision, al tiioimh his success would have 1., eu a subversion of the poxver of the majority of the House. Wbv did .Mr. Patton iusi n that .’:ir Wise, who.again and 1 again proclaimed in tones of fury ami defiance, | that. “At wo nut ask to b" c.rciisid,” that “he w ottld sutler marlyrdmi, before Ze ivoiddvote,'’ that thr puli r oft!., Sirg., ::t-a!-.:r;u3 “should uot compel him,” that “Ac would ilifq the ptiwi’r if a st.i.'idlng ttrmy,” He. He.— why did Idr. Patton insist that this ctmtmnacious me inber should Le ((impelled to vote, Li fore any decision should be had upon the abolition question? No body knows better than Mr. i’attmi, that it has been the tm- ceafiiig chart ol .Mr. Wise to make the mostinvet er;;:.i‘ lend o! the abolition (;ufc.,tion, and thi;t he a. s c mtiiimilly < ndeavored to thrust in dilliculties to prevent a final dccisimi of ii. He, as w ell as Mr. ’.’. ise, is the advocate of Juilgo White’s I'resi dciitial pretensions; ami he know.,, ibat unless hos tile lei lings can bo produced between the north ern and tueslavclioiding .States, there is no inos p: cl. that the South w ill enable the Judge to make such a diversion lor the federalists and tiie Bank, as v. ill pul it iu th. ir power to dispose of the ITi ddeiicy. lie ■ therefore wi-hed i 0 give the question such a posture as would enable Mr. Wise to prevent its being taken at all, by refusing to 'J bat tins was Mr. Patton’s motive, will be .seen from the course pur lied by him when the previ ous i-iii .tion tiist called, dlr. Adams bi.d giv |.:n notice to the Hou-c tln.t he wished to address i , lo prove that Goii ’i'e: ; had power over the ques.: m ot slavery in ttie States, ns well as in the ci if he li:.d been permitted to enter upon tho, new ami extended field of abolitionism, it would have opened a debate oftlie most Jmaiig -11 mi < haracter broached in Gimgress. Ap prized of this, the reader wifi obsetve in the fol lowing portion of Wcdnesdiiy’s proceedings pre limitiury to the attempt of Messrs. Wise, Wadoy, ’i'lio.'.ii'soN, &.c.—wifiiwhat anxiety-Mr. Patton fir.-.t i-r.tr nited and then mamettvred to get rid of the previous question, to let in Air. Ziuams’s pro posed abolition reply to Mr. Robertson’s nullify ing attack on Air. I'inckney’s report. Air. Adams w ished to reply 7 to the arguments of tiie gentleman Lorn '. irgiuia, who had just addressed the House. The Chair reminded the gentleman that tho previous que. timi had been moved. Ain. v. is;: inquired wiieliiei it was competent t 1 move tiie previous question, tlw hour hav ing arrived tor proceeding to the orders of tho '• a L - . . r ■ inc Chilli stated that, under the rule, unless a motion was made aud carried to proceed to tho consideration of the orders of the day, the subject before the House would uot have been arrested until the hour for proceeding to the special order. After the expiration of the morning hour, no mo tion having been made to take up the orders of the day, it was competent to move the previous question upon the subject under consideration.. Air. Adams, asked the gentleman from Geor gia to withdraw his motion for the previous ques tion. Air. Towns made a similar request, and re marked that from the first day this subject was presented to the consideration of the House to the present mo.ment, lie had taken no part in the (iiseussion. There were now reasons operating ou his mind, inducing him to desire that this op portunity be afforded him to submit the views he : entertained, and the reasons thal would regulate ; his vote. Alt. Owens had made the motion on the most I mature deliberation, and could not withdraw it. j .'lr Adams appeared from the decision of the 1 speaker, tliat it was competent under the cir- I cnmstances to move the previous question. 1 The Chair requested the gentleman to reduce j his appeal to writing. ; .liter a short time, Air. Adams rose and with- I drew the appeal, stating that he did not believe : the House would be disposed to stifle debate, by I sustaining the previous question. Air. Patton rose to make an appeal to the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Owens) to withdraw his motion. . Air. G. Lee called the gentleman to order, as the subject was not debateablc. Air. Ow ens must adhere to his determination not to w ithdraw his motion. The previous question was then seconded— ayes 95, lines 82. Air. Williams of North Carolina asked lor the yeas and nays on the previous question ; or dered. Air. Storer inquired what would be the effect of the previous question? Ihe Chair said il the previous question was sustained, it would cut off all amendments, and the main question would be 011 the adoption of the resolutions reported by the Select Com mittee. i'ir. Ad ams appealed from tho decision of the Chxir. The CuAißhud, in answerto the inquiry of tho gentleman Irom Ohio, stated what would be the edect oi sustaining the previous question, and bad 1 made 110 decision upon which an appeal would lie j at that time. ! Mr. Adams was aware that a slaveholding Speaker occupied the Chair. Here .dr. Adams .was culled to order by vari- ■ ous members. Air. A, ise moved a call of the House, and ask- I ed for the yeas and nays, which were ordered, and ' w ere—yeas B.', nces IL'B, so the motion was neg -1 atived. : Air. Storer moved to lay the previous ques tion on the table, including the report aud tesoht- , tions ol the committee, and the amendments Ito the-same; which was negatived without a ' count. 1 .<!r. Adams desired to know what would be the main question, mid that it might Lo.stated ou tho journals. The Speaker repeated that if the previous question was sustained, the main question would boon the adoption of tho resolutions reported bv the select committee. nir. Adams appealed from this decision. Mr.. Boon rose to order. It would be time enough to raise this question, when the previous I question w;is sustained. Mr. Adams: I speak to a point cf order, and desire to take au appeal from tho decision of the j Chair. Mr. Fatton said it seemed to him, that it should : first be (letermincd what the main question would I be, as that consideration might influence the vote ol gentlemen. Boradveuturc, the House might | reverse the decision of the Chair. He hoped, ; therclore, that the decision of the Speaker, as to . the efleet of the main question, w ould be first cn j teitained, so that they might subsequently vote 1 tmderstandingly. Taking into view this anxious effort on the part 1 of Air. i’attmi, first to get Air. Adams into the arc : mi. and then to thrust Air \\ ise in, to prevent a : decision, no cue can doubt his full participation in the schemes of the agitators. 1 he result ot Air. I’atton's inantrvrcing will ho seen inthe proceedings of yesterday in the House. 1 iie very case we supposed as an illustration, ac tually occurred. Air. Jenifer, by arrangement w ill) some of his party, actually refused to vote, without having any objection to vote, and for the express purpose of having an appeal made atid a debate on it, to defeat the business oftlie day. This was accomplished, and but for the decis ion ol the Chair, that another refusal to vote w ith an appeal upon it could not be taken, pend ing the demand of tb.e main question hy the pre vious’call ot the House, Air. Jenifer might have piled refusal upon refusal, and his coadjutor, Mr. Wise, appeal upon appeal, t;> the end of the sess ion. \\ e have not space to probe these proceed iiu.is further nt present. S! On the 27th day of I’day last, a Necro Boy was delivered to me by a waggoner in Augus ta, wilh a request that I would take him to Han cock comity for the purpose 61' delivering him to liis ownei. 1 received tlte boy 7 and brought him home, but could not find liis owner.
