Petitions i:t Congress.?Our nv ti>ml Lrjislii ure Ins been again annoyed with these mil auces, notwithstanding the signal rebuke they received at the last session, in the pissage of Mr. I'inckncj's resolution. John Quincy Adams, one who has filled tin high o dice of Chief Magistrate of this re,? ibiic, has degraded himself, so tariu ti p! ty I he principal pr.rl in promoting t'lese dj-Urb aucesof the public peace. ? We nro at a lo? s to explain his conduct, as a run <n in, on any other hypothesis than thai of moral and disappointed feeling venting st? spleen, and foiled ambition seeking noto, ricly, even in the perpetration of mischief. We are glad, however, to perceive that the country has been relieved from the curse of any further discussion of the subject in the popular branch of Congress, during the prevent session, by vhc passage ol a resolution ? * * " ' " ' ? -* I .L . offered by .Mr. imvw, uicnucat ?nn wm adopted, on motion of Mr. Pincknev, at the T%si session, vi/.: '* That all petitions, memorials, proportions or paper*. in any w*y or to any extent relating to slavery, shall, trithout being printed, or referred for any ac. lion thereon, be laid on the table;" . nd * trust (bat a similar resolution mil b- adopt-d at every future session, so long as my one shall venture to present an abolition petition. Piscusvion in t ongrcss is "hat Um abolition^ ists desire, and is a direct proiocative to a multiplication of their incendiary memorials Discussion confers on them the importance .nod notoriety uhich arc essential to inahe them instruments of e*il?contempt nous mleOcc will soon consign them to tin* inatgn;ficance which will prove their grave. For oar own part, we do not hesitate to say that ore should prefer a refusal in the ftr.M instance to roccire these petit mi;*, as a more contumelious mode of rejecting them?6?r we deem no violation of the constiiuwumd right of petition involved in so doing?but as others are scrupulous on this Mibp-ct. we feel uo disposition to push our preference, SO the extent of a quarrel, unit thaw: who, irhtle pr t forma, and iu deference to :hc right of petition, receive these petition*, yet reject their prayer with the movt unequivocal marks of disapprobation and reproach ? To mike fight on this very immaterial point of difference, is the tnticrablc i*>hcy of raising a fal**- issue, on which you drue your friends to take sides with your foes, and jjjtc an apparent trium ti to the latter \nd indeed such has been actually the ca:r, at the preicn! session. On the prc<n latum of abolition petitions. Southern men, instead cif ending ihc matter at once, by passing anew Mr. Pmckney's resoluiion, raised the question of reception, and raided el only to be defoaUrd?defeated, however, but in form, not in substance, jet giving occasion of triumph to their adversaries, because ihc iv .sue, although immaterial in itself, was di vided against tho?c who had git en n irrqmrt.ancc by the very fact of making it. I'Ue following extract from the prpceodmgs of Congress shows hotv and by what majority the issue was decided. Mr. A.
