Mr. Adams resumed and continued his remarks,
the object of which, today, was to show that tho

relating to slavery, to he laid on the (aide, was
unjust and oppressive. Befoio he had concluded

Just as the House was proceeding to tho orders

The Midnight Search.
The day had passed, the snn went down,"
Tho moon half o’er her course had flown,
The stars were twinkling in tho west,
And man and beast had gone to rest.
But one there was that could not rest,
For some dark scheme disturbed his breast;
'The tawny chief rose from his bed,
His nightcap bound around his head,
He lit his torch, and (led o’er where
His band lay hid within their lair;
HcrO'lsdd them up, a gallant band,
And off they marched, all keys in hand ;
The gallant chieftain, tall and black,
Led them on their wonted track.
Scarce could the, torch-light gloom
That spread cround the epicious room,
That held tho guides, their wished for prey,
And novels road on many a day ;
When classic authors should he read,
Containing wonders of the dead.
There Lieutenant Jemmy stalked,
As big a man as over walked ;
Though scarcely five feet he could boast,
With head enough to scare a host;
Ho marched close at the chieftain’s heel,
With spirit gieal as heroes feel,
When to the battle field they go,
To stand and fight a valiant foe.
But Jemmy fights another fight,
When he goes forth at dead of night;
No foes oppose him on bis way, ..
Nor warriors slop his wending way.
FatSacchi followed next behind,
That ho might handsome booty find.
This valiant man, as all must know,
Was four feet six from top to toe ;
Full three feel through stomach wide,
His toes ne’er scon, e’en when ho tiled.
Next on behind good Mullen came,
A man of great established fame ;
A bunch of keys was on bis hand,
Which divided ’mongst the band.
When keys their duly could not do,
Inventive Mullen, ever true,
A wire key could always make,
And lock from any trunk could break ;
For Mullen’s conscience never shrunk,
For breaking lock, or opening trunk,
When gold lay close concealed within,
Or novels good they might contain.
The rest came on, a valiant band
As evet marched with sword in hand,
To strike a foe in deadly fight,
When sallying forth at dead of night.
But foes dared not oppose this train
Os goodly warriors, who for gain
Were skulking through the night’s dark maze,
Concealed from every mortal gaze ;
For mortal eyes were closed in sleep,
And all was tranquil as the deep.
When midnight throws her shades around,
And storms have ceased their warring sound ;
From dusk they wind their way,
Guided by the torch-light ray,
To lead the youth's entangled way.
But mercy from ibis hand was driven,
As if it ne’er had come from heaven;
For heedless es the grief they caused,
Headlong they went, end never paused,
Until they gathered from ihcjiall,
Wilh cherished guides and novels all.
With triumph now they leave the place,
And off they go, tottering pace;
For all were lad with heavy books,
But hearing triumph in their looks ;
They heeded not tho heavy weight,
j For they gloried in their ill-got freight.
They shared the bounty ’mongst them all,
As soon as they had left the hall;
And each their separate took,
And bid it in some secret nook :
To read, when naught else they could find, 1
To cheer the dulness of the mind.
Thus this expedition ended,
In which both art and stealth were blended. j

Interesting from the Cnuadas.
Wo have private information, from n source
worthy of all credit, which varies very consul
eiably from that given us by the Canadian
newspapers. 1 laving received it at a late hour
we are obliged to give it very briefly.
Hir John Colborne lias put a stop to the re
cruiting for the colored regiment in the upper
province, and commanded that regiment to be
removed from the frontier. Ho lias alsogivi
en orders for disbanding the militia, there be
ing too many of them whoso object is to keep
up the excitement, in order that they may bo
continued on pay.
Sir John speaks in the highest terms of the
American army officers who li.*vc been sta
tioned on the frontier, and in his despatches to
his government has passed high encomiums
on Governor Marcy. lln is aware of (lie mis-1
directed zeal excited by Sir Francis Head’s
raslt measures, and has taken measures to
curb it.
lie declares that the most accurate and val
uable information lie lias received, has been,
and is from American citizens on the frontier.
Mr. Bouchette, one ofthe prisoners at Mon
treal, is understood to have given information
against Mr. Papineau, in hope of saving his
own life. The information is said to boos a.
serious nature, hut there are many who do not
believe Mr. Bouchctl’s revelations.
Cute From China.
By the barque Valparaiso, from Canton, wo
have Canton papers to the Oth of March in
clusive. From these we find that the state
ment quoted from the London Mercantile
Journal, under date of January, that there
strictions on the opium trade had been remov
ed, is incorrect. The Chinese government
persists in ordering away the receiving ships
and in prohibiting the sale of opium, with a
threat, as will bo seen, of stopping the trade
with the nations that do not comply. Wo
quote from the Governor’s edict, issued on the
IBih of February.
It is right I should issue orders to bo res
pectfully obeyed; when the said hong mcr
charfly receive the orders,let them accordingly
pay a respectful and instant obedience; and,
acknowledging the truth, forthwith transmit
the orders to the foreign merchants of each of
the said nations, to give orders to all the re
ceiving ships, in hasty obedience to the impe
rial will, to depart and return home, without a
day’s delay; but if, as hitherto, they dare de
lay, loitering about with lingering expcctas
lions, and continue to remain, it is decided to
stop the trade of all lluiee nations which have
receiving ships, and not to allow their ships to
enter the port and open their holds: for in this
affair ot the receiving ships 1 shall adhere
firmly to the laws; and the senior merchants
J are also guilty, and I shall order them to he

A general depression pervades Wall street, in
consequence of the distressing news ofthe loss
of the steamer Pulaski, with all her passengers.

prospects of lire city.

To Henry Clay, Ijsq—Letter I.
Sir: Uls a common device of those who
wish to engage the attention ol' the public, to
address themselves inform to some distin
guished man, while in fact their lucubrations
are meant for others, fciucli is not my case.
My errand is to you; and though 1 am by no
means unwilling that they “who sit upon the
wall” shall hear my words, yet, I am no ratl
ing Rahshakch, come to insult you. Did ctr
f’.mnstancr.u justify the freedom, 1 would r«-
Mte. that all I have to say Were laid before you
and you alone, in the privacy of your closet,
where no present consciousness ol public cen
sure or applause might disturb the calm re
flection to which 1 would invite. Forrnysolf,
1 shall say nothing to disturb it. 1 shall be
careful nvithcc to flatter nor offend.
Circumstances plainly designate you as the
next President of the United States: and it is
hardly loss manifest that you will owe your
elevation in great measure, to that small parly
of consistent Slates Right politicians, who will
lend their weight to cast tire wavering balance
in your fatour. Baffled as they have been by
the alternate rashness and treachery of their
leaders, there is nothing left to them hut to
choose between the masters offered by the two
groat contending factions of the Union. Even
the opportunity so to choose, is a rare privi
lege; and happy is it for litem, that circumn
stances have schooled them into a temper to
use it wisely. Hud not the eager ambition of
Mr. Calhoun urged him to a course which has
left him no place in xhe confidence or respect
ol the great body of that parly, their votes
might have been neutralized by being cast for
him. la that event, none could have tuiiicis
paled the result of the doubtful conflict be
tween the advocates, of Legislative and
Executive Kuimicm.acy —the Omnipo
tence ol Congress, and the Omnipotence
of the President. But under the sway of
this ungovorned passion, of the existence cf
which lie may ho no more conscious, than the
demoniac of the fiend that possesses him, lie
is carried “whithersoever it will: and some
times it castoth him into the lire, and some
times into the water.” There let him lie.
We have no call to rescue him from the fate
lie lias chosen, or to share it with him. Our
business is with our country’s safety, and
with you.
But anxious as 1 am to secure your favour
able attention to what I have to offer, I vvil
not attempt to deceive you. You will see hj
the signature I have chosen, that 1 am one ol
that sect of politicians, known by tlie name
oi States Right men. It may perhaps enable

You may therefore.not he surprised to learn
that! mu not at lido day prepared to enter oi
a new course ol action, and to give my ovvt
personal vote in favour of the great loader o,
the national party. It is at tins moment a
comfort to me which 1 fondly cherish, that I
am in no wise responsible for any part of the
misrule which lias afflicted ray country for t he
last quarter of a century. It, has uot been by
my fault, that while the powers of the Federal
Government were in the hands of men avow*
iug flic most ardent zeal for the rights of the
Htates, and contending for the most restricted
* interpretaton ofllio Constitution, their course
of policy was such as almost to extinguish
the like sentiments in the minds of their do.
voted followers. It, las not been by my fault
that the Administration of that Government
has been uniformly federal, wha’cvcr the pro
fess ons of those who administered it. 1 feci
no seh-reptoach, wiicti'l read the deola-alion
of Chancellor Kent, that “from 1812 to 1825,
the progress ol opinion was in favour ol a
pretty libera i., o.iid enlarged construction
ot the Constitution of the United Kta’cs,”
while ho adds that, a question on which the
public mind had given judgment against (lie
power of the Federal Government at the for
mer period, would doubt c;-k he decided in its
favour at the latter. 1 take no blame to my*
self for these tilings. It is by no fault of mine,
that while the ship of State has stood witli till
sa ls set right lor the harconr of strict con
struction, she has been all the time drilling
before an under current into the wide ocean
of federalism. I voted for none of those by
whom these tilings were done, not because 1
did not hold the principles professed by them,
but because I had no fa th in their professions.
It was not by my fault that Andrew Jackson
made tiic chair of slate n despot’s throne, and
trampled in bitter scorn on the rights and in
terests which lie bad pledged himself to my
friend?, to maintain and protect. 1 have an
honest pride in remembering, that by refusing
to concur in this, I (ell under the d splcasuro
of my best, friends, political and personal. But
I had no faith, in his pledges. I had lived as
y-m Ti.'vc, sir, among those who knew him well:
and I could have no faith in the public virtue
ot a man whose private life was stained witli
every crime. Looking back upon the past, I
find in the recollection of these things a con
solation, which J hope to have firmness enough
to carry witli rnc to the grave..
I bi g you not to inlor Irom my allusion to
tins person, that I mean to offend you by
placing you in the same category with him.
Y’our openness and sincerity arc not question
ed, and the manlinecs w.th which you take
your stand on the avowed principles of your
parly, affords mo a comfortable assurance that
we know the worst. Bull will add, that from
your candour and magnanimity, I expect
something more. I persuade myself that the
experience ol the last five years has not been
lost upon yon; and that it may lead you calm
ly to reconsider opinions formed without the
aid of that experience, and under exciting in
fluences from which 1 trust that you are now
happily exempt. It is to the consideration of
the lights thrown upon the character of our

3 But here again, Mr. Calhoun may rest his
1 claim to consistency, on the ground that this
■ is not the first tirnu that contradictions lave
' met and boon reconciled in his person. It is
3 his privilege tobo consistent in inconsistency.
1 lie lias it all to himself, for he has so abused
1 it that any but a party-hack would now he ‘
1 ashamed to talk about consistency. Just soil
f was, that under Ids management, State inter
position became "‘a bye word and a hissing.”
' Be it so—lt may be well. The danger of dis
union will no longer allord pretexts for the
precautions of tyranny. “It is only where sub
jects arc rebels from principle, that rulers

by enlightened human onlerpize, leave little 1

may at once discover, on inspecting the “J,a-

ofthe Philadelphia, Wilmington and Balti

Judge Story, of Massachusetts, has decided in

individuals. The suit was brought in die Circuit
Court by llie store keeper of llio United States at
Uustou to recover the amount of certain shop
clothing, valued at $7320, on board schooner Jas
per, stranded on her passage from Uoston to New
Voik, on Ulock Island, which was returned to
Uoston with the other cargo, and cfl'crcd to the
shipper on condition es signing die general
average bond, but refused by him on the ground
that llie United Stales had the light to take the
goods without paying or scouring tlieir contribiv

the owners of the vessel, and the goods withheld;
