The memohv or Harrison. One presidential term. No corrupt official patronage. The purity of elections. A discriminating tariff. A sound currency. Faithful public agents. No Site-Treasury, No arbitrary veto. Perseverence to the end.
Harmony, toleration and unity. I The memory of Harrison is a singular constituent in such a creed. As a party we disclaim
the item; the memory of Harrison belongs to the country as much as does that of Washing
ton, and not to any party, merely as such. The number of negative propositions included in this list is a great objection. We have been contending against a majority and their measures for twelve years; and now if "we expect permanent success we must tell the people not tchat ice oppose, but what we support; we must settle upon cert&indeterminate principles that can be recommended to the people for their sanction and support. We are tired of the tearing down system; we should like to see some
thing like wholesome building up. Again; the words "discriminating Tariff"
bear a laughable resemblance to the odious
terms "judicious tariff," and the expression "sound currency''' is sufficiently indefinite to include even man's system of finance.
We have stated some of our objections to the
address, and we do it in a spirit of kindness
and respect. We are yet whigs; yet deternvn
ed in the support of such measures as we have heretofore avowed; and have no inclination to
abuse or to leave old friends. But we conceive
the welfare of the party of sufficient impor-
t.ince to demand good faith and candor between
its members. We believe that at present the country cannot be roused into political excitement the people need rest and should have it: when the time for action on the presidential question comes, we hope to see a better system of whig ethics than is enbodied in this address.
On the 6th instant, during the debate on the
fenkrupt Law, Mr. Tailmadge was interrupted
:x Mr. Benton, who exclaimed, in regirdtoa
ransrkby ths former '-false sir" which was rpw.-ed to the sixth time. Mr. Talim idge had
"JOBgh respect for the Senate and for himself 1 keep cool: so that there was nothing dis-
;iceful but on one side. Where Benton is
ncerned it is easy to settle which side this is.
Our readers cannot have failed to observe the -xcitemeiu which has been occasioned in the
House of Representatives of the U. S.. bv the
tesentation of a petition by John Q. Adams, raying for a dissolution of the Union. We mceive that Mr. Adams has most fully susuied, throughout the whole debate, on this 'abject, not only his high character as a man J&patriot jealous of his country's rights, but "'err position he has assumed.
The South, aided by "northern men with
southern priucipb?," has trampled sufficiently
y, ' for years they have rejected with proud
iisdain the prayers of men whose hearts are
':ra with the blood of the Puritans men.
ao though they may long forbear for peace
fl, can never finally submit to be robbed of
nght to lay before their public servants

Mr. Pserton, the eloquent and gentlemanly Senator from South Carolina, is said to disawrppwjth his old nssocia'eson nil subjects of general policy. He votes against the Treasur' note bill; opposes the Bankrupt bill, Distribu-
ion and Tariff; and contends for the narrowest
nos?ible construction of the Constitution. In
spite of these seeming vagaries,this gentleman's
haracter entitles him to respect; though his o-
pinions may be wrong, he is believed to be con
scientious in their support. We regret to lose
he political aid of one so courteous and intelli
gent.
The vote in the House of Representatives
m the reception of Mr. Adams' petition, stand ayes 40, noes 166 James II. Cravens among the former White, Thompson, Lane, Wallace and Kennedy among the latter. The people will decide the question with regard to petitions, one of these days, and we shall then
see who is risht.
The Beacon (Lawrenceburgh) contains a
long review of the Whig address w-hich we have noticed above. We have tried to keep
something like a medium between the senti
ments of the review and those of the address.
Indeed, such an article as the former might cut
as profitless to the countrj' and unjust to the thousands of persons who hsve claims upon the Government. Mr. Adams claims not to be responsible for the consumption of time, and de-
' clares most solemnly that he is but defending j himself from a charge of the grossest crimes ! preferred against him by the three membeis j from Virginia and Kentucky, (Messrs. Wise i and Gilmer and Marshall.) He regards him
self as upon triul and resisting a most base persecution.. There is much truth in all this, tho' the imagination of the Ex-President has doubtless conjured up many more ghosts than really
exist. As Mr. Adams, however, is a good hater, there is none better, so lie, indeed, and many of the members whom he is always firing at, seemingly from the of the sport as will
(as from motives of self-defence. so he is hated
in turu. He cannnt forget or forgive the attack made upon him by Mr. Wie, nor the resolution of his colleague, Mr. Gilmer, nor the resolution as proposed by the member from Kentucky, Mr. Marshall. Revenge is "sweet, and he is repaying four fold all the attacks made upon him by his enemies. The debate on Saturday was of a somewhat novel and interesting character. Mr. Adams begun with bringing the Editors of the National Intellieencer into court, and very unjustly I must think.
and as you suppose in your remarks upon the omitted reports. The House reports of the
Intelligencer have been wonderful for their accuracy and marvellous for their promptness.
It was the height of injustice, then, to make war upon what was so well done and so well
intended. Mr. Adams soon placed himself right, and with tremendous power, both of intellenct and of body for one so old, he retorted upon Mr. Marshall, and accused him flatly of misrepresenting his motives. lie denied that he had in any form favored the prayer of the petitioners;
upon the contrary, he had repeatodly disclaimed any connection with them further than presenting their petitions. He reiterated moreover his opinions in regard to Abolition, and advanced safe and Constitutional opinions in re
gard to the Institution of Slavery. Mr. Adams's iTriterness of expression and strong prejudice and personal feeling, I cannot defend. He does not defend it himself. He acknowlekges it.and asks that something should be pardoned to the infirmities of human nature. But the lion, it should not lie forgotten, is not aroused without some wound or other to awaken his terrible ferocity. Mr. Adams is but
the other side of the two sides. Some of the members were ready for his expulsion, many for his censure, and he but returns like with like. Let him alone and he will do no mischief. Turn upon him and you will sooner or later be clad to turn from him, for seldom or never is Mr. Adams wrong. Mr. Upsher's letter to Mr. Wise, in relation to the charge of Mr. Botts, next came in for its share of criticism, and here Mr. Adams, whether right or wrong, was truly great in the argument upon the subject. As an exhibition of mind and eloquence, I have rarely heard so fine a display of powers. The Secretary of the Navy was treated with all personal respect, as he should be, for he is a mun of rare virtues as a public officer; but his letter was read and commented upon without mercy, and particularly
that portion of it relating to the so-called ' legitimate objects of Union." He showed that the Secretary admitted too much in admitting so much, and that no man had aright even to say what were the "legitimate objects of Union." The question ought not to be presented in that light; if it was, the pro-slavery man
would represent them to be one thing, the anti- j
sla-ery man another thing, and ever' peculiar interest and institution would set up its peculiaj opinion as a "legitimate object of Union."

THE CENSURE. The House has laid the whole subject rela
ting to Mr. Adams on the table!
The old man, as he had done previously,
said in Monday's debate, that he had no desire
to waste the time of the nation, though lie was
read- to go on with hie defence.
The House met him at once, and by a large
vote, laid the whole matter on the table. So ends the proposed vote of censure!
We have no doubt many a member who was
keen at first for the onslaught, was glad enough
to escape so easily. For, whatever opinion may
be entertained as to the propriety of Mr. Ad
ams' course, none can doubt his integrity of
motive, or his triumph. He has beaten down his opponents, numerous and strong as they were, as if they were chaff. Let no one dream that Mr. Adamt favored
