In tins he deserved censure, hut he did not deserve constiro for presonting n res pectful ami substantial petition for a disso lution tif the Union, and moving its reference to Select committee with instructions to re port against gr.mtiog its prayer. The ros ohi'ion of Cuiuuru was concocted in a se cret (but not full) Caucus of Southern Mem bers, and was sustained and voted for by notoriuus and invctcrato Dlsunionistsin Con gress.

The recent atlompu to expel, or censure, Ex-President Adams, has turned out a lame, impotunt nfl'.iir, on llio part of tho concoctors, and most triumphantly has tin "liltloold man" turned tho tables upon his accusers.

Tho ques tion of privilcgo being thus got rid.of the obnoxio iiic niorial wa rejected by la)iug the motion to rcctivc upon the table by a vote of four to one. Thn, as predicted at the outset, thin whole ques tion has ended in smoke after consuming about two eoks of the lime of tho House lo tho neglect of all olitr bu-invss. Thtco times before to-day the motion to lay upon the table was submitted, and three days it was rcjoctcd. Wearied and jidcd out with the sub ject and the debate, tho IIouxc have now done thai which should have bocn dono when the memorial ws first submitted. Tho reception of petitions under an order of the House seven or eight weeks in operation, was con tinued after tho ono memorial was hi I upon tho ta bic. Mr. Adams presented n score or two in relation tn slavery. Many of them were njected under the 'in rule so much tallcl of and so veil Known, nnd others, asking for tho repeal of tho 21st rule an i iuci djntil provisions, wero rejected after tho fashion cf hying the motion to rcccivo upon the table.- The oiilv niciiio'iils which were nfoireJ, at all hearing nn ihe sul j 'ct ofrla very, were petitions asking for the independence of Hay ti. The Senate hid a'liitle touch of the abolition fever tin Jer the operalion of Doctor Ca'houn. The excite ino.it which lias r viilaid for sjmo titno past at the other win;.' of the Capital, allected his own nerves to an extent that made him fetl that some of his own peculiar nostrums were necessary to quiet the public pulse. Accordingly ho come into tho Senate this morning with a long report frnn the committee on 1'tdcral Itel.itions in the Lcgis'atuto of South Caro lina in regard to the monstrosities of the bill to di'lri buto tho proc" Is arising from the sales of tho public Ian Is. Mr. CalliMw disposed of this by fraying that ho as proud to n present a Stato which held uit such opinion-, and to this he added that tiinctecii-twriilieths if nut miicty-ninc of one hundred of the people of Smith C'atolma, were opposed to the Dieliibulion Hill. ' This matter over, the committee on Federal Rela tion j bad another heating in reference to the pending controversy between the state of .New York and the stalo of Virginia. Mr. Calhoun first ordered the reading of the report of thcLcdrlativccommiitre, nnd the re-ulutbn accompanying it. The report, which you may have ?ecn. is vcrv spicy towards New York, and strung m defence f irginii. Sew York is accused of stialing negnrs from Virt'inii, and with ueh a foundation to start upon, an cdifico is I uilt one-bided enough to topplo over. A p'ech followed, in which Mr. Cillmuti with more than bis uual good temper, set forlh the griev anecsof the .S.mth. He approved of the Police act of ihe Legislature of Viri-'iiiU, anisaid ih.it Son'li Carolina and all the Smth. would stand by lur in resisting Ihe North.' Abolition, too, it was said, would load to i'iuni n, slavery at tho t-'outh was not regarded si np'y a '1 ncry, hut as a pililieal institution. There was no safety except in the resistance of in'erfeiencc. It begun naw in Virsinh with the restriction of inter course. This would heroine more general and ill tho end complete. Then came dissolution. .Mr. Cilhoun hiving finished what he had to say upon this s bject, a new de1 ale arosi 11,-on another .. - t: it t . . . . one, almost ns excilm:, 1 moan l ie Disln unon .mnyuivs since a resolution Inn liecn m- Inn I li.ll, jskinir tho com. on Public Lands to enq lire ritoihe crpe llency of makings litab'eproiision lor the distribution ol thosj receipts into the treasury from the tiUt of hmt occasioned by the refusal of Slates declining to accept the provision appropriated to then.

"Circum stances alter cases" seemed to be his maxim, and al though ho had once thought one way, bo had been Iroiight, bv recent events, boinlimated, to think the other, on this subject. Ho took occasion to bo very sovero in his allusions to Iho couiro of tho President. Mr. Morchend moved tn postpone tho considctation of tho resolutions until Monday next, which motion prevailing, Iho Senile adjourned. ANOTHER UrtCEZE, ALMOST. House.

Mr. John Ouincv Adams rose and stated tint such was the situation of Iho committee, they could not report. He suggested that the fivo vacancies therein be immediately filled. The Chair responded that it should be done, as a mat ter of couise. the TAnirr. Iteporls being finished. Mr. Woed claimed the floor, upon Mr. Saltonstall's resolution, reported from the cominillee if which he is chairmiiin, man uf ictiircs.1 astini to he authorized to send fur person and papers, as testimony touching lhe operations of tnetariil. Mr. Woo (in eppositinn tn tlio motion) had not fnvshed, yesterday, when the Hiuo went to the or ders of the day. He resumed th--floor, and proceed- d in his remarks against tho resolution. His objec tions v.'ere founded upon tho construction of tho com mittee, which represented the manufacturing interest teo entirely lo gunTantce an impartial imestigation of tho matter. He wanted tho information iieces siry fir tho House to act on, but lie wanted it on both si Irs. Mr. Wood having concluded, Mr. Lewis Williims moved lo lay the resolution on the table. The matter then dropped till to-morrow's morning hour. Fivo members of tho Committee on For eign relations, to wit: "tlessrs.Gilmer, Ithctt, Hunter, Proflit, nnd Cost Johnston, have ashed to be excused, op tho ground that they cannot consent to servo with Mr. Adams. They say in their communication that they aro satisfied that tho removal of Mr. Adams, as chairman, (a favorite measure with these ., , gentlemen, nnd one which their Into attempt to censure Mr. A. was designed to aid,) would not bo acceptable to tho House, and ns they do not consider him worthy of "this public trust," or their " confidence," they decline acting witli him.

The Council of Censors closed its ad journed session in this town on Tuesday morning of this week. They have proposed upon their adoption. ' ' Flio following out line, wo believe, embraces all the essential alterations which they recommend to the people lo incorporalo into their Constitution. I. An extension of the term of service of the Judges of the Supreme Court from one year to seven years. II. An extension of the term of service of Senators in our Statu Legislature, from one to three years one third of the whole number lo bo elected annually. Ill- To lube front ill. 3 Legist. IllirC tllC appointment of Sheriffs and High nailiffs, and give tlio election of those officers to the people of tho several counties also lo givo ,I0 clt.ction 0f Justices of tho I'eaco to tho i c, . i,col,lu 1,1 lllG wns in which they reside, IV. To change the time for electing Stmc Officers from the first Tuesday of Sep! , , . rn , A , 1 , lun,uor ' ",c "' I uesday ol October, and the lime for tho meeting of tlio Legislature from tho second Thursday of October to the list Thursday of January. V. To enable thu Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Treasurer, Judges of the Su preme, County, and Probate Courts, Secre tary of Statu and several othor Stato and County Officers, to hold their respective of fices until their successors aro elected and qualified. VI. To dispense with the forwarding to tho Stato Legislature) the ballots for Gover nor, Lieutenant Governor and Treasurer requiring only the several presiding officers' certificates of tho number of votus cast for each candidate for those offices respectively. VII. To submit nil amendments, which succeeding Councils may hereafter recom mend, directly to the Pnoru: themselves, instead of' subjecting them to the supervision of a Convention of Delegates. These, wo believe, comprise nil the essen tial changes in tho Constitution which tho present Council of Censors liavo determined to recommend. Other alterations, somo of more importance, somo of less, were pro posed, discussed and rejected. In regard to tho innovations which tho Council have voted to recommend, wo have, nt present, hut n remark or two to make. Tho seventh article of the proposed (intendments, ns wc have arranged them, stiikes us as n more de cided improvement than cither of tho others, and wo hopo il will ho ndopted by acclama tion. It is certainly in harmony with the theory of all our institutions, both State nnd National that, in establishing the funda mental Law, the Dkmocracv or Nminniis should govern. We shall advert again soon to the subject of the proposed nltorations. Wo believe tho Council fixed upon the first Wednesday in January for the Convention of Delegates to assemble nt Moutpeliur, for the purposo of deciding upon the nmendmonts. THE TARIFF SYSTEM AGAIN. Tho three leading Tory journals in this stato llio Montpelier Patriot, tho Wood stock Spirit of tho Age, and tho Huilington Sentinel havo takon ground, decidedly and strongly, against tho principle of a protec tive Tariff. This wo knew they would be compelled to do, if they continued to net with thu Tory party for that party is ruled with a rod of iron by Iho Southern Slave inter est. Thus it is, thus it has been, nnd thus it over will he. It was tho policy ol Mr. Van Huron to " carry thu South by falling in with Southern measures, nnd tho North by parly machinery." llcncn wo saw Northern To ries uniting with Southern slave-holders to enforce tho infamous " Gng Resolution " of Aiherton. Henco wo saw Van Hu ron pledging himcelf in advance io veto any hill fur the iihnlilion of Slavery in lhe District of Cntimiliin. Hnnrn tvn nam sen tho Tory members of Congress from tho rrco stales oniting Willi Southern .slave holders in an inglorious war ngalnst pro tecting tho frco labor of tho Norlh, against tho right of petition, tho right of frco dis cussion, and tho liberty of tho press and against Ex-President Adams, tho great champion of all. Hut let those Philistines come upon tis with rabid ferocity, wo ore prepared to meet thent on this issue. Lot the Shvc-holdcrs of tho South nnd tho lories of tho frco States unilo wilh ferocious fuiy in an unholy war against tho rights nnd tlio labor of tho North against all who aro more industrious, and, therefore, moro prosperous, than themselves, and, elated with tho pros pect ol anticipated triumph an easy victo ry, let them aim their despcratu attacks at the foundation of our social prosperity and endeayor to reduce ull lo n level with their own profligate nnd licentious indulgence. Let them prosocuto their insano war upon our domestic industry let ihem endeavor to "still the music" of the shuttle and tho loom, lo strike tho tool from tho hand of iho mechanic, nnd closu tho shop of tho trader, by destroying that credit hy which alone ho is cn ibled to enter upon tho business to which ho has been educated and hy which hu Hopes lo live and thrive. I ho great mass of tho Whig parly nro ready to meet them, to do tlieir duty and maintain their princi ples lo the last. They have sworn uncom- omising hostility to a nartv which is en deavoring to Ir.ttnplt! down their rights, lo gag llio freemen of the iSortli and grind thorn lo powder nnd thc-io will he no retroating, no flinching. Tho harder they nre nuslied. thu moro furious tho assault, tho moro spir ited and vigorous will bo their resistance, and they will contend to the death for the great cause in which they nro united. Such is llio determination of tho Whigs of Ver mont, and wo havo no doubt such is tho spirit which animates till New England. (tTho point in issue betwrcn the Watchman and us was whether wc had con demned Mr. Young in an niticlo wo wrote somo three or four weeks since in regard to tho repeal of tho Bankrupt Law. Tho Watchman says, or did say, yea, wo say nay and wc cheerfully submit thu decision of the question to llio readers of the Free Press, not wishing to prolong tho controversy with our neighbor. Wo will, howover, say that, in tlio article in question, wo simply expressed tho almost unanimous opinion of tho lugs of this district. This wc know. Nor do we wish to retract, modify, or ex plain a single sentence of tint article. Tho Watchman, however, thinks that, in express ing our concurrence in lite sentiment of u paragraph taken from tho same paper in which lie so kindly volunteered to dijcntl Mr. Young against our attack, we implied ly condemned bim, (Mr. Young,) ns much ns hedid. And so wo did, as tar as his, (Mr. Vs) voto on tlio Bankrupt Law was concerned, though wc did not intend to do so at tho time. Tho W. will, howover, recollect that wo did not say, "strictly speaking," that the paragraph in question condemned Mr. Young. Wc said it was more severe upon him than any thing tec had previously written, and that is still our opin ion. Thu Watchman siys, though, that it did not in thai sentence, condemn the votes oven of the Tories. lie only meant to s ty that "their votes wero given without rejerence to the merits of the bill, in a factious spirit and for a party end." That's all. Now thu Watchman will excuse us for say ing that this lo us is an abstraction, the force of which wo can not fully comprehend. Nevertheless, wc cheerfully reciprocate tho courtesy of our neighbor, and say "ire arc bound to prcsumo'' tlmre is something in it, since ho says there is. Tho Watchman closes its rejoinder by tho sagacious obser vation that "if the Bankrupt Law were half as necessary nnd popular as it is said to hr, the people would soon find means to force it through Congress." And have not the peo ple forced it through Congress And did they not literally "force" the Senate to pre vent its repeal Tub Question of Vehacitv nr.TWcnMn Hotts and Mr. Upsihmi. Mr. Butts is ns good ns his word, and appeals in tho "In dependent," with lhe proof of falsehood with which ho threatened the Secretary of the Navy. Spunking of the Secretary's letter, lie says : " Kor inflated arroince, etud.id prevarication, and unguait ed inconsistency and contradiction, it can find no parallel in the writings of puhhe men, with all the blunders and ciiipidiiy with which tho country has been cuiscd for lliiiteeii years." Again ho remniks : " Already hue I, in a former tetter, demurred lo lhe limitation attempted tn be imposed upon me by con fining me in iho selection of my witnesses io men of iruth s bula9 ho will himself be the first witness that I shall introduce, so shall be be the onlyonefor whose iciacity I will not touch." ho then p oceeds to demonstrate his point, viz : that tho Secretary was "an open unqualified advocate of disunion," by ihreo separate sorts of testimony ; 1st. hy extracts from his acknowledged writings; I'd. by his conversations when Mr. Bolls was himself present; 3.1. and by ktho undisguised part .which ho took in tlio nullification movements from 1828 to 1S3G. Under tho first head, ho cites a great many passages liom tho Southern Magazine, for January, 1811, "Revolutions in disguise," winch go moro or less to establish his posi tion. But tinder iho second head, wo havo something more pertinent, in a letter from Phillip Harrison, of Richmond, who refers to several occasions on which Judge Upshur has expressed thu opinions charged upon him particularly at Williamsburg, Va., where ho was holding a com I. '' He llicresaid.'m a conversation not at nil pinnlr, or confidential, that the I'tium of Ihc States, soomr or later, must be ditohed t he believed it to be una voidable) and, in bis opinion, the sooner it occurred, or was brought about, the better for Virginia and the southern states, or slave holding stales; that in the formation nf the Union, ihenorthcru andt-astcru stales had obtained ereal advantage-over the southern; or, to use lhe Judge's phrase, the so ilh, in lhe forma lion of the Union, In I made n bad barjrain: and that the admiuiiitraliiiii of the eowrnirtnt had mado it worfc "ha the policy nfihc government and impo f.twn sj tat iff 1 ptc'u I ''it poitris' mrn' and would ultimately ruin, the southern states llio southern pcoplo would bo tho mere 'hew'" 01 wood and drawers of water,' or the slaves of the cast crn and northern : that tho latter states had already acquired tho ascendancy in the councils of Ihe ftation; that lhe rapid increase of the pcpulatioa of these states or rtionon-slavbholding stales, vriwld render thilal9 of things permanent, il the tlniori continued tht, in consequence of these. advomaec, and the creator cap ital of tho northern arid eastern states, ihey had al ready monopolized a largo portion of the proper trado of Iho south, and every year would render it worse. Tho Judse endeavored to enforce and illustrate then opinions, by reference to a great many facts and by much reasoning," To this is added a letter from Mr. C. M. Braxton, who says that tho Judgo was a boasting advocate of disunion : "Convcrsin,? with Judgo Upshur some years since, in llio stnct8 of Norfolk, on the subject of nullification, I said I considered the doctrine of nullifi' ation a here sy, dangerous in this, that many persons who had not access lo correct information would bo led olf by the plausible arguments by which it was supported ! for all havo the. r filc-lcadcrs. '1 he Judge said, I havo no file leader. I replied, you have no occasion for a file-leader, as your situation in life enables you to ob tain correct information for yourself I although, said I, jealinsly. somo say Sir. Calhoun is your file-leader. Judpo Up'liur then mado use of Ihe figurative expres sion of which I havo spoken : "Ifo, 1 have no filo lcader, and I claim the credit of being tho first Vir ginian who ran up thollag of disunion." What was intended by this expression 1 cannot say. It was used, as I have Fiiid, in connexion with the subject of nul'ification, and if any qua'ificatiou accompanied tho remark, it hn cs-japed mo." Finally, by a letter from Edward W Johnson, detailing the circumstances that led in 183G to an effort to revive tho Southern Review, ho says ; ''. corps of lhe ablest writers that could be brought to tho dilcnco of the south was. of course, to bo en. listed. Most of those w ho were fitted lo aid in such n design were consulted, cither 1'ircclly or through those who could s,.cak for them. It was in forming this list thai, while eanasing the a sistance i f Judco Upshur, 1 learned whnt was, in Carolina, uraou h's tloer friends, ripulcd tn be the Knath to which his opinions went. 1 was told that he had passed far be yond nullification; tint ho now regarded disunion as tho only safety fur lhe south j and that he hid dtttr inincd to devote Ins future life to that cruse." Mr. Upshur has published a letter requesting tho public to suspend their judgment upon the cato presents by .Mr. Holt's letter, nil ho can pre. pire a rep y to the charges made and thu evidence adduced against him in that docununr. his said that he will deny the authorship of one of lhe articles attributed to him by .Mr. Hotts, and ad duce evidence in opposition to some of the allegations made by that gentleman and his friends. EX-PRESIDENT ADAMS. The Resolutions of thu Slave-holders to censure Mit. Adams for doing his duty, has been laid upon tho table for ever, by a volo of 10G lo 93. Every Tory member from the free States with five exceptions, voted with Southern Slave-holders against such a disposition of the resolutions. During tho whole discussion thu Northern Tories with hardly an exception, have been tho moro tools of the Slave-holders aiding them, vo ting with lliem nnd doing every tiling to em barrass Mr. Aiams, whilo tlio Northern Whigs havu rallied to tho defence of tho ! veteran legislator with a spirit and unanimity winch has gained for ilium thu lasting grati tude of the venorablu uld man. (CTTlie Woodstock Spirit of tlio Age, seconds the cull upon the people wo mtttlo some time silicu to mark the division of par lies on tho Tariff epicstion, admits its Tory brethren in the free status aro unilud with tho slave interest of tho South in opposition lo the protective system, and embarks in tho discussion against the Tariff policy with its usual spirit and ability. This is frank and above board. We have not room this week to notice llic argument of tlio Ago against protecting free Labor wc shall take up tho subject at an early day,howovor,tind endeav or to show tho falacy of its reasoning. Run-sAL or I.vronMATiOK on the Subject or the TABiir.
