MR. ADAMS ON THE MASSACHU-
SE l‘TS RESOLUTIO.\'S.
Perhaps there never has been, and never
wil bf‘, or at least for sortie lime to come, so
intensely interesting a scene as that which oc-
curred in the House of Re-p’s on Friday
last, oti the qu- stion of disposing of the res-
olutions from the Legislature of Massachu-
setts, (oficred by Adams yesterday) praying
for an amendment to the Constitution,
The Resolutions, it will be reeollected,as-
ked that Rcpresent.ttivcs and direct taxes
shall be apportioned timing the several
States, according to tile mnnber fffree per-
sons, and untaxtd Indians in thent, to take
elii-ct in two years; that is in the next Coti-
gress. This. it will be perceived, is a di-
rect blow at the South, and allows free col-
ored persons to vote in any State. And it
was upon this subject that Messrs.- Wise and
Holmes took such strong ground, and evin-
cod so much wartntli and bitterness in the
dcbate of yesterday.
The Speakers _vcsterday were allowed to
reply to Mr. Adams through courtesy, and
the only question before the House to day
was whether these resolutions should be
laid on the table, or referred to it select com-
mittee. But Mr. Adams was allowed to re-
ply; and the scene that ensued, can never be
forgotten by those who were so fortunate as
to witness it.
After the Journal was read,
Mr. Adams rose—-Sir, the journal says -I
was calla-d to order for offensive. rerriailts;
sit‘ I was called to order for irrelggg-[My ,r_.'
I wish that corrected. r
Sauriders—’I‘he gentleman was so called
to order. X ‘Cf/r/:_::»
Adams—-(Sarcasticallv) Then,-sir..‘tf I
was called to order for offensive rér-iiirlts. I
wish the journal to state what the offensive
words were! (This produced great laugh-
ter and excitement, bccattse they referred to
the skull of the speaker sympatliising with
sotne of the members.) ,
Speaker the journal will be corrected.-

A l\’lember---Isn’t he 0 great old hose .7
Another——Ht.-’s a bitter old scorpion, and
I wish the Chaplain would put up a daily
prayer that be may speedily be taken to A-
braham’s bosom l .
Here there were twenty or thirty mem-
bers on the floor, crying out “Mr. Speaker,”
and all wanting tomake motions, and some
did make very grotesque motions.
Preston King—(A short, fat good natur-
ed man) Mr. Speaker what is the business
before the House? (Great laughter.)

setts resolutions. I
King—Is that debateable.

to me yesterday. [Almost l)t't.-l.l)lt‘sS silence-]
-The gentleman from Virginia [Wist] said
that from this day forth, for ever, he should
cease to war, which he and his friends have
carried on for seven or eight years against

above, cried out, "By G-—d, he's a noble old
scoundrel after all !”
The remainder of his remarks, were al-
most of an entirely colloquial character,
with Mr. Holmes and Mr. French of Kim-
