The mo tion to reconsider prevailed, and the bill was indefi nitely postponed. We are constantly told that Congress ought not to hesitate ia passing whatever' bills the Executive may think necessary to carry on the war. The as sertion of the right to examine Into the merits or necessity of an Executive rccommendatiou, is resent ed by the official organ and its echoes as an act of moral treason. No deliberation is allowed the ordinary forms, of legislation are deemed inconve nient obstacles to the realization of the President's wishes, and for a Whig member to make a speech, even upon the details of a measure involving tho ex penditure of millions, is denounced as giving aid and comfort to the enemy. What a comment upon such legislation b presented by the proceedings of the Se nate in this instance ! We do not know what were the "details of the bill, which was thus surreptitious ly foisted through the Senate. The measure was recommended by the Secretary of War, and the bill drawn up at theDepartment, and that functionary must stand rebuked by the action of the Senate.

The Democratic papers are exceedingly fond of referring to a letter of CapU' Naylox, of Pennsyl vania, written in Mexico, in which he describes Mr. Clay's Lexington Speech as being joyfully received by the Mexicans, and having a bad effect on their minds. His statements, too, art quoted as those of a Whig Officer, although it is known that he belongs to t&eWoirc Awurican. faction, and has no sort of fellowship with the .Whig party Whatever his evidence may be worth, it is fairly counterbalanced by the following, extract, of s letter of an honest member of the Volunteer Regiment from East.

The following reflections on the 'death ' of Mr. aoams. irom we "iew i ort aiirror a. mm i A - "" . - It t " mm " - I Is well known, 'devoted to the support of Gen. Tay lor for the Presidency, are well worthy of notice : 'i "Twenty years agOy John Cluincy Adams occo riV. : :rr rr,. " "l:m."u a1 lM Wttole nation unites in praises of his past life, we cannot but remember that with one exception, he was the most unpopular man who had filled that exalted office; and to bis own honor and to the disgrace of our people, it is now universally conceded that the cause of his unpopularity as a President, was his stern uncompromising integrity. His administra tion was the most economical and wisest that the nation has known. When amin shall we see such -man as John Cluincy Adams in the Presidential cnair, witb such a man as Henry Clay at the head of his cabinet It is not a little remarkable that while Mr. Adams lies dead In the Capitol, at Wash ington, lauded for his virtues by the men who once maligned him; the chief ornament of his cabinet, who shared with him political defeat, is received with triumphal honors and every mark of distinc tion, among the very people whose calumnies and political hatred embittered his life fqr a season, and deprived the nation of his services as its chief mag istrate. Justice is slow and not very Sure. Buch anan and Benton, the two great opponents of Mr. Clay, and the most unscrupulous of ull who opposed his advancement, are in full possession of the politi cal power which they coveted, wiiile Mr. Cby.thouph occupying a place in the regard of the people which the most fortunate of his enemies might envy, is about to retire to the quiet retreat of Ashland, with out having g:uucdhe object of his political ambi tion." w MR. CRITTENDEN ON THE WAR. Mr. CaiTTEftDKit expresses very clearly and for cibly, the views entertained by multitudes of intelli gent citizens on the subject of the war, and tho right of free discussion upon matters in relation to it We quote from a debate in the Senuto: I am a little apprehensive that the Senator from Mississippi may hi understood me as going a little farther than I designed to b understood aa going, in relation to thw war. I think I toM you, at the com mencement of my remarks, that I . was not one of those who approved of this war not at all. But said that the war, by the act of CJongreas, baa become a national war It was war according to law; oaU I had supposed that tbe great principle of republican government consists m the . combination : or ,uo strength and power of the whole community in exe cuting the laws passed by tbe majority or that com munity ; that I mil as much bound to respect the law passed in reference to this war, as I am in respect to any law that imposed duties or taxes, or regulated the conduct of citizen or the United states. With respect to any of those law, the liberty of discussion, under the Constitution, and according to every principle of republican government, is tree and unlimited '. It M upon that condition that every citizen of the Republic agrees to conform himself to, and be governed by.the majority, however repugnant to his own opinions may he the decisions of the ma jority. This freedom of discussion is tbe ground on which each and every individual may inter, on en tering into the social coapact, that he may safely and cheerfully agree to obey whatever law the ma jority passes, whilst discussion is left free ; or, in the words of Mr. Jenerson. that error may he tolerated whilst reason ia left free to combat it That U the frinciple of Republican Government I do not hold oppose the war because I discus, and examine, and reason, in order to prove to you mat ine taw ougni to be repealed, or changed, or modified, so aa to put an end to this war. ' - ' It Is with respect to that law as it Is in the case of every other law. Every constitutional law claims the obedience of every man. no matter whether it be according to his wishes or not It claims bis obedi ence But it leaves him free to discuss it it leaves him free to endeavor, in the exercise of all his con stitutional rights, to have the law repealed, no mat ter whether it relates to peace or war ; and the right is equally perfect in regard to the one as the other. Circumstances may modify the exigencies of the country may control the exercise of this right; but hia constitutional right, as s man and a citizen, is to discuss tho law fully, tie ought to do so, be cause he is bound to obey implicitly. That is my doctrine. , Ma. Adams. The Salem (Mass.) Register, gives the following notice of Mr. Adams : The habits of Mr. Adams were pure, simple, and unostentatious, even to awkwardness. He always rose before day, and when in health, made his own fire. H used great exercise and was peculiarly fond of bathing and swiinmiug. No one ever was more industrious, or sacrificed less of his time. He was one of the most prolific writers of the age. His journal, which he keptfmm early life, and which embodies all his conversations with, distin guished men of hia own and other countries, ia, no doubt, the most valuable document in being, aud a richer, legacy to his children thair the ample fortune he leaves. This fortune is not the result of a nig gardly economy, (for Mr. Adams always spent more than his official income.) but of two successful spec ulations, and a great rise in value of his patrimonial estates. Mf. Adams leaves also copies of every let ter he ever wrote, and 'among' his voluminous pro ductions are most able eulogies on Madison, Mon roe and Lafayette. Mr. Adams leaves a widow to whom he was mar ried in London, in 1797. She was the daughter of Col. Joshua Johnson, then consul at London, and the niece of Gov. Johnson, of Maryland, a J udge of tbe Supreme Court of the United States, and a sigu er of the Declaration of Independence. . Mr. Adams leaves also his youngest son, Charles P., w ha mar ried ft daughter ef Hon. Peter C. Brooks, of Doaton, and who has several children: and tbe widow of his eldest son, John (who is also the niece of Mrs. Adams) With one or two children. He owned aud occupied the mansion of his father, in Cluincy. Affair of Hosor. The N. O.

He had been closely con nected with him, both in public and private life for a long period of years, and that from the time he had first been acquainted with him, had ever found hiin at all times, and under all circumstances, the pure and elevated pafriot-the tried and faithful friend and the wise and good man. At the close of the last war -a troubled "period and one of great importance, Mr. Adams had ren dered great services. The loss was heavy to all, but to no one so heavy as him. Hi heart was too full this moment to make a set speech, yet he could not entirely permit the occasion to pass without referring to Mr," Adams. , Passing from this melancholy theme, Mr. Clay Fpoke of tbe kindness, which for a period of forty one years, during which time he had, at intervals, visited Philadelphia he had received from her citi--zens-i-that tt long, eventful and checkered career under every circunistancPj however trying, he had always found them his true friends. Mr. C. concluded by again tendering his gratitude for the cordial reception that had been extended to him saying that to his latest moment he shouk) ev er cherish this as the happiest visit of hia life. Mr. Meredith, on' behalf of the councils, briefly replied. Mr. M. simply said that as the organ of lh government of Philadelphia, he gave him wel come. That no more suitable occasion could have been selected for an eulogy upon Mr. Adams, such aSj he had pronounced, than the t-pot on which he stood the Hall of independence 1 !Mr. Clay afterwards exchanged salutations with the citizens of Philadelphia for about two hours, du ring which time his hand wa; shaken by thousands, nit only of his own political friends, but young and olid, rich ami poor, of all parties.

J. ngersoll introduced a bill granting to tho widow of Ex-President Adams the fr&nking privilege, wbich passed the House.

As the delightful season is now at hand when it is equally pleasant and profit'ible to embellish and beautify our grounds, fences, and out building:;, we have thought we might be doiug an acceptable ser vice, to some of our putrons at least, in publishing the following receipt for making a White Wash; which, we know, if prepared strictly; accordiug to the receipt, will prove to be every thing that is aid of it: "Much is said of the brilliant stucco whitewash, on the east of the President's hotfse at Washington. The following js a receipt for making it, witlusome additional improvements learned by experiment. Take half bushel of nice, un-slneked lime, slack it with boiling water covering it during the preces to keep in the steam. Strom the-liquor through a fine seive or strainer, and add to it a peck of clean salt, previously dissolved in warm water; three pounds of ground rice, ground to thin paste and stirred and boiied hot ; half a pound! powdered Spanish whiting and a pound of clean glue, has been previously dis solved by firet-soaking it well, aud then bangjg it over a slow firejUn a small kettle, within a kirge, one filled with water. Add fire gallons of hot water to the whole mixture; stir it well, and let it stand n few days covered from the dirt.. H should be put! ou qui to hot; for this purpose it can be kept ju a kettle on a portable furnace. It u said that about one pint of this mixture will cover a square yard upon the outside of a house if properly applied.- Brushes more or less small may be used, according to the neatness of the job required. It retains its brilliancy for many years. There is nothing of the xinu mai win compare wiin it euner lor msme or outside walls. " Coloring matter may beput in and made of any shade you like. Spanish browu stirred in will make a reddish or pink, more or less deep according to quantity. ' A delicate tinge of this is very pretty for inside walla Finely puivenzea common clay, well mixed up with Spanish brown before it is stirred into tbe mixture, makes it a Ulac color." Lamp Mack and Spanish brown mixed to gether produces a reddish stone color. LampWack in moderate quantities makes a slate color, very suit able for the outside of buildings v Yellow wash, bat ehroma cmes farther, makes a color generally teemed prettier " In all these cases the darkness of the shade will of course be determiaed.by the quanti ty of the colon ng matter used. litis difficult to make a rule, because , tastes are very different ; i it would be best to try cxperimenta on s aMnala and let it dry. I have been told thai green tans not be mixed with time.

What was the . condition of this pers( ? She-had been under our1 best physicians for some months ; Iter affliction wast cancer on the right breast and consumption. . A blis ter was wished to be raised ; one was applied to the ; neck ; it made no impression whatever. (7ther parts- " of the body were tried, and with no better success ; j there was not sufficient vitality in the system to ' raise a blister. She was suffering terrible agony, and she was determined, as, her.doctors gave her no hopes, to try what SrandretVs jPUls would do for her. She took eighteen the first day ; she eontin-. ued them in large dose? and in two weeks she was so much better that she could walk about. Desir-, ous of testing whether a blister could be raised, she had one put on her leg, designing to draw down the ; putrid humors; the blister raised finely, and one. of doctors owned that it was astonishing to him to see the blister, as it was to see her at all, living and so i much recovered. What those Pills could be made ofj and purge as they had done, and net kill, but ebso lutvly sustain the -vital powers; -was more than he could comprehend. Here in New York, in the cen tre of our city, the greatest thing has been done in : the way of absolute life saving unknown in ancient " or modern times, till Erandretn's Pills were known. , Two months ago and this person; was dying -abso lutely dying of consunjption and'eancerjf ahdjiiow: her consumption is entirely enred and hercancer' l is in a fair way to be so. Is this- medicine a quack j medicine ? Can this be equalled! by any other med- f icine in the world in the good it effects? I answer no! and ten times ten thousand can "be referredto i personally to sustain my assertion.
