MPvjcnc U tcp vn tlt oo ln the exeitinjscenes which were recent ly enacted in the House of Representa tive, the following passage occurred be tween the gentlemen whoie names head this paragraph : . Mr. Adams said, Sir, thpre is anol-her occasion which I hope the House w ill look at, if they are to try ii. e for the only, thing which,, in my opinion, they can try me for that is to say, a contempt of the llouse, under the propo sition of the gentleman Iron Virginia, Mr. Odiner the late Governor of that State. Uiu there was', 1 say. an occasion, about four or five years ago, of ;i "trial in this House of a member of ihe House for crimes. There came to this Huu.-e then a man with iris hands and face dripping with the blood of murder, the blotches of which were yet hanging upon him; and the question was put, upon the - proposition of those very Democrats to whom fie has this day ren dered the tribute and homage of his thanks, that he should be tried by litis House for that ciime the crime of murder. Sir, I opposed the trial of that crime by this House. The House thought proper to refer the subject to a committee, ar.d that committee reported I am not sure that it was an expulsion: ! think not. Tito report, if I recollect (an 1 I should he glad to hear it if I am to answer noon the resolu tion r.-f the gentleman from Virginia. fjlr. (Mmer.J which, ;xs.4hgpraid, I suppo.-e to he tin? onlv oiiw on which the House can act, because the House will see what was dime on a former occasion when a member was brought tip for trial) that report, I think, expressly recommended the expulsion of a man far less euilty than the oiher one of the llo.ni which was shed, because he happened to draw the trigger which levelled to the r;.rih another mender of this body. Hut that far more gniliy man, whir, I say. came into this House with hands and face dripping -when the blood !pis were yet visible upon - him I opposed as much as possible the Irial of that man hy this House because il was (like the present) a case in which the charges made were of the hightest nature charges involving the very lives of the parties, and I thought that they should be sent to the proper tribunal. 1 thought that thpy should be tried where lliey might have the advantage which tins instrument (holding tip the Constitution of the United States) secures to ihptn; that they should Imve ihe right of a speedy and public trial, by ail impartial jury of tne State and Dis trict wherein tne crime was commuted 'hat they should be confronted with the witnesses against them that Ihey should nave the benefit of c tmpulsory pri.cess to obtain witnesses in their own behalf, and that they should hare lite aid of counsel in their cause. I was willing that the partips to that atrocious ciime should be sent to their natural judges to have an io partial trial and that the action of this House, either by expid.-ioii or otherwise by censure, should not f!;c place. I expressed tint opinion in ibis House, and I expressly and strongly opposed its action: a id it is very probable that I saved this blood stained man from lite censure of ihe House at that tune. 1 contributed as much as I pnssihiy coidd to that end; and I w ish., if I am to b called upon to answer fr crimes before litis Hou.-e, or even to answer 'on a charge of. contempt, that ihe pr eetlent should !;; re- eurrid to that the facts which look place then should be brought fresfi to the, memory of the members of tins lIot!:-e. The report of that committee was not finally acted upon; and by its not being filially acted itpoit, the man of whom 1 speak escaped all punishment from the j House, although his hands were reeking j with the blood of murder; and that, too, the murder of an associate brother member of this House. Mr. Wise here rose and interrupted Mr. Adams. Mr. Adams. Ah! D es the gentleman rise to a point of order ? Mr. lVie (addressing the Speaker) said be rose to inquire of the Speaker whether his (Mr. W's) eharscter or conduct was involved in the issue before the House, and w hether il was in tinier for the mem ber from Massachusetts (Mr. Adams) to charge him with the crime of murder, and wiili being stained with innocent blood? ' A charge made by a man who had and be appealed to the members who were present s.t lite time t confirm the statement defended him (Mr. W) from the charge on the ll ior at the tiaie, and not upon any technical grounds, but upon the merits of his case and conduct. And who had as he (Mr. W.) was informed, by one -f his ( Mr. A's) ownfnlleagues, ih fended him and the part hewnk in thai affair before ! thousands of people in Massachusetts, in primary assemblage, nnd who pledged I himself to the innh of his defence; and yet j who has since, from personal revenge for subsequent causes of hostility to him (Mr. W.) again and again, no less than three times, falsified his own ilefei ce, and j rei'crstcrl ih's charge on this floor! Mr. ' W. 3d he hid never esrantu froni tru! in the case referred lo. So far frooi it, he bad even earnestly sought a trial fiom ihe House which arraigned him, and he was most unjustly refused and denied a trial. He was willing now lo be tried M go to Maryland and be tried lo be tried here or any whereby a fair and impartial tribu nal. And lie would now, for the first tiaie, i solemnly declare that he was not responsi ble for any thing which occurred i:i the duel, except what occurred on the ground to guard the life of a friend. And this he was at any li ne ready to prove when ever the fact was legitimately questioned or tested. And niw he .pronounced the ci'iaro madj hy the en tinman from .Massa chusetts as b ise and black a lie as ihe truilcr was black and bass who uttered From the Globe, Vlt. ADAMS'S AGITATION CON TINUED IN CONGRESS. This day has been occupied, like all the rest of this week and several of lite last, in giving propuUion to the incendiary move nt c His of Mr. Adams. Tlie whole discus sion 'of me censure for the introduction of the petition foi the dissolution of the Union, has resolved itself into a debate on Abolition. Alter the vote on the preliminary question about ihe rirl-l of the !ioi!e. lo entertain jurisdiction of Mr. Marshall's rendition. Air. Underwood ol Kentucky obtained the ll nir. and look ground against tbe 2 1st ruin ol the House, w inch inioblts ihe di -cussi.in of uc Abolition petitions, assailing il as tne c.i ise of l'e di-alF-ciion 1 1 ihe Union, in which the petition for its dissolution ori ginated. He took up some hours in argu ing the propriety of bringing; Abolition into Congress as a matter fr us legslauve action; and this, notwithstanding it lias Oecn irom year to year, and by i iimeuse iiiLj trilies, voted i be a subject otil of Hie pale of die powers conceded to Congre.-s. i'ltore is not a member of either branch ol Congress who does not know thai the Con stitution contains no grant authorizing Congressional action on ihe subject of the relation of master and slave, and thai if il had, it would neier have obtained the sanc tion of ihe Southern States, lint in spite of this interdiction, Mr. Underwood miile it the burden of Ins speech to-day to im press the conviction mat the twenty first rule of the Houce, adopted ihe preserve the Constitution, by preventing Congres sional discussion and action on the cubjeci of slavery, was ihe grievance which gave rise to tne new movement of Mr Adams. The 21.-1 rule ol the llou-eisabar lo tne operations of the Ab .....onists throng i Congress, to reach and draw in the relation of master and slave, as a matter of Federal action, and lo be by it abated. If this be the grievance whicii cails forth the demand for a dissolution of the Union fr on the North, why did the n u-slaveho!Jing States invite ihe conn-ciioii with the South, not only knowing thai slavery existed diere, but knowing also that i; was recognised in the Constituium itself which formed the compact, as existing, and as that whicn was to continue to exist I Ami yet if a ma jority in bovh oraucnes of Congress refuse to haras the South with the agitation of this su' ject, it is tiovv held to be a grievance pregnant enough to give birth lo propo.-i iio:ts to deslioy Use Confederacy ! So ai trued Mr. Un lerwo d and others of t ie Federal party lo-t!ay so argue the ritih in reference- to the law of nation. The Constitution guaranties the peaceful con tinuance til I ie slave institutions, and Con giess, so f ir from itnerlering to destroy, is bound to protect them. Tne law of nations protects our ships from invasion at sea by anv foreign jurisdiction. Great Uritaiu recognised the obligation of this law on lui. Now ihe Constitution of this Confederacy, and the law of all time, in the confederacy or civilized nations, must give way to the new doctrine preached m regard in slavery in lite western hemisphere, although a different doctrine is maintained on the same subject by tbe same Christian League and its partisans on the eastern hemispt.cre i ! Mr. Underwood and Brother hidings, (as he called him, who avowed himself an Abolitionist,) got up quite a scene between them on this subject on the floor of ihe House to-day. One actually cried at Die idea of the disturbance which ihe twer.ty liisl rule and its consequences were likely to produce; and lha other tried to cry. Mr. Underwood acknowledged, over and over again, that the pow-rwas with the Abolitionists, and wanted to know what they would do on the subject of sd-ivery He -ranted to Unw whether they mc.nl to put the slaves on a perfect equality wiih their masters, in political, civil, and social rights, lie declared it an impossibility, and vowed tf it were aite'mpiet'J, that he would ir.stan.lv advise his constituents to give up iheir s'aves, and send them across the Ohio, there to introduce the eonutn plated amalgamation; and be wept at the contemplation of this r uhled . state of i!iinTs. ami entreated Brother Gidduigs lo say if he was not right in assun.'mg that ihe Abolitionists (who, over and over, he ad tj'iueJ, Tad the p-v.ver) mau; to carry jlhings to this extremity. Brother Gid- diugs, we thought, tried lo squeeze out so lie of the iron drop that rolled down Pluto's hardened visage, but in vain. He made a sorrowful face, though, and pledged himself that ihe Abolitionists did not mem absolutely lo drive matters to the extreme of rending the Union, but only aimed to carry theirwar so far agatn-t slavery, as to save themselves from being taxed by it. How, he did not explain. Although Mr. Un lerwo vj found it vcrv convenient to the pathos of his beseeching speech, to admit that the Abolitionists hd the powt-rto control this subject, we would suggest that it was altogether a gratuitous admission -oim which he was as totally destitute of power to make valid, as tne Abolitionists have inclination to limit it, if ihey really possessed the power. Have ihe handfol of Abolitionists or their politi cal allies power to break the Union, or to destroy ihe rights of the Southern S ales, as hitherto enj oyed under the Constit-itioii? Have not Mr. Underwood and Brother (Jul dings always found the Northern and South ern Democracy too strong for every Fede ral machination against tne Constitution? We think they have, ami we think lhai may spare litem tears o:i the subject for the future, unless indeed they shed them fro.n the utter hopelessness of the ilouh e c.uise in which ihey are engaged, and which d ies not promi.-e lo woik very hant'ouioti-lv here ifier Tne p Itttr:d Uin d a u tiio i, when undersiou.1. which threatens a naiga mati t, of auoi'ier kind, will be alike o-liou-1 1 both parties and m all sections. It i-t o i!y the ic fl iciice f prty strife, which, fir the moment, allies together the present imposing initio: iy. There is one circumstance, in connection with lha pfnd'ng proceeding, to which we would point public attention. The whole afTiir'. pro ami con. up to four o'clock this evening, when we left the hall, had been the work of ihe Wigs. No Democrat had interfered with il. The petition wa introduced by Mr. Adams. Tiu resolution of censure came from Mr. Marshall of Kentucky, and the speaking, from first to last, and all the attending explosions and violations of order, proceeded from members of the Whig party Nothing, then, f all this, will be set down to the Democratic party, and n ttiiuig that may come of it. From the Hlobe. A FELLOW FEELING MAKES US WON DUO US KIND." Th Intelligencer of this morning, dedi cates us column of original matter, prepare. I by its "FJiturs' correspondence," ihe vindication of several worth es, in whom il seems lo lake a great interest. Passing over Mr. Xuupp, (an "itinerant preacher," wiio is libelling the resident ministry at ihe East, and in regerd 1 1 wiio u the In iclli geucer's adjunct Editor hopes Vtey will keep their temper,") the lr:o, Mitchell, Colt, and Cunts, call out the strongest sen sibilities in iheir favor. Of Colt, the sympathizer of the Intelli gencer savs: " l'ne defence commence 1 to-day; and all mat 1 know about a is, in it il will, in human prohibdity, resolve it-telf into a pica, of j.istili ilile homh'id.?. This plea, lo .uy nun 1, is a good one: ami under almost all ci.cnostances could be made good, il Colt had not attempt d to conceal l!ie body hy packing it up, and shipping il lo New O. leans." . Notwithstanding this ugly circtitn-tance, ihe "Editors' correspond. nice" is decidedly in favor of Colt's aciatual.- lit goes on: "Thero miy be many men among us who a,e decidedly of opinion that lie ought to be acquitted; but popular clamor is so violent that few are willing to express any oilier sentiments lhao those which arc adverse lo Colt. I la:il p'etty mu:i alone, 1 believe, iti ihe opimn ;'iai the accused has not been gidty of i. .e cn t.e v'. uifirtler." So much for Colt. Then of Mm-h-ll, the Whig member of Congress, who h i confessed his forcenes: I to-day, was at ihe City Prison, uij I had the melancholy pleasure. of holding an half hour's conversation it i Air- C'iai!es F. Mncheil. I am sorry lo fay thai Mr. M. is m very bad iiealtn; and I far ibnt il lie be not speedily removea! IV om his con iluement, dea h will come to ihe rescue, and lelieve ailjiis suffering. Iftiehala few friends who would ri-d; a few hu i Ired dol la s." be could be admitted to bat;. Of h:s t'tiilt or innocence I kno n Mum, knew him in his palmy and happy days; he was thena man .and il pains me to witness bis present sufferings, though g.ul ty lie may be." Thf pa'dic wi'.l pnrdiri the solicitude and km Iness of the National Intelligencer for this unfortunate. Tins Mr. Mitchell was theworihy member of. Congress who arranged ihe bargain with Duff Green ou behaif of ihe Nati nal Intelligencer, by which that gentleman, m consideration ol ten thousm l dollais, was to lend his name fovprtiv to room-ass the printing of the llouse of ttcpresenaties for Gales and S-aU:i, who war t-jbuy Green's infJusiwt with the douceur. This proposition, which was denounced s an aitampt.it bribery by the members of Congress ou whose votes it was intended to operate, very naturally excites strong feelings of gratitude in the bosoms of these genlleroen, who now throw .out ihe hint to fw friends w ho would rik a few hundred dol lars," that "he could be admitted to bail.' and might of course run away and prerent death, which they are told "will coma to ihe rescue." . Next Mr. Curtis's case claims the regaftl of Vie Intelligencer; ami here it speaks in happier i 'lie; for ihe success of this worthy, supported as he is by the Secretary of State and" Government, enables ihem lo turn with dtoisin upon ail who dare peak of lii olfences. 1 1 says: " . Mr- Curtis, of ihe custom houe,ls not destroyed. I saw him today, e louked well and happy; and, lo my, very great surprise, 1 did not see any 'pipes bout him. Mr. C. I fancy, will coaie out of the alembic unscataed." The followieg startling passage is front Gleuiw onli's pamphlet: " The way we managed to deceive the. vigilance of the Democratic inspectors and challengers, was to take" the Democratic tieke s, erase the names carefully with a line pen, so as not to show through, and substitute ihe names of the Whig candid ates. Tnis, nf course, deceived ihe Dem ocratic challengers they would r.ot chal lenge won ttiev supposed 10 be their own ticket. The Whig challenger was inform ed by a slip, some lime before, of Ihe ua nes he ina-t challenge, and iben be with drew. This was also understood by the person offering his vote, and was arranged in some lusiauces, after ihe arrival ut the men in the wards where il was proposed to vote ihem, but most generally the. ar rangements wrre peifected before the men lefi the private committee room ai the Ma sonic Hall. The Democratic inspector and challengers were completely blinded. "The Whig challenger were alao in formed of the character of ihe person offer ing to vote,, by a sign a pin on the, edge of the collar or cuff of the coat sometime by an apparently accidental chalk mark on ilie coat or edge of the hat.
