Mr. Adams, presented, a memorul from L. FfUchtvvan!jeri .cont5iriinsr' a proposition for furnishing the United States with a hiri currency. C 7 ' ' -Mr: A. sail tint .as this memorial, re fateJ to one olhe subjects embraced in tha President's Messasre, he shonM'-more that, without reading, it might be referred to tbe -Committee orr IVays and .Means an I t be printed, which- motion was agreed to. m , -v- - Tba- namber of petitions ofLred uas rerv limited, amonist them ivere fievCTal on the sabj-ct t)f a National Dank and the curr ncy, and for and against theannexa lion of Texas to the Union. Texas, The Hoiise proceeded to the consideration of the following resolution, offered yesterday by Mr. Adams. Resolved, That the President of the United Slates be requested to communicate to this House whether any proposition has been, made on the part of the Republic of Texas to the Government of the United Slates for the annexation of the said Re public of Texas to- thi3 Union ; and if such proposition has been made, what answer has been returned, and all the correspond ence relating thereto. Mr. W 1st said he should vote against the resolution, for one reason which he should state. He had in his possession information, on which he could rely pos itively, that correspondence had taken ptace between the government aud the official organs of Texas, which was not in a condition' at this time to be rni ! public ; and- the publication of whi.-h might prnb.ibly have an inj'irious effect on tho question pending between this "ov ernmcnt and Texas. ,!, , f m i ine jentleman. from Massac linsc t. s- to modify his rcfalntv;n ns 10 add the usumI restriction as to thpp ihlic ine rests. Mr. Adams said he would s'ate the reason. why the usual restriction had not been inserted.

It was a new thing in the . . v .- ...i iiiii iv viiaiLi i history of this nation it was a new thing h the h's'ory of the world a totally di -ferent thing from what h id taken place heretofore by the cession of territory to the U. States. On the 6 rst evasion of region of ter- i ntory which took place under this gov- ernracnt, namely, that o Louisiana ; it was objected at the time that that was un- I constitutional. So far as it was a css;on ! Oa territory, it was his opinion at the time, and that opinion stood reco-ded on the journals of the Senate of the United States. S.t far as the mere question of cession went, it was his opinion that it was with in the power of Congress to form such a Treaty. But in that Treaty certain pro visions were introduced, relating to the inhabitants of the territory ceded, and those' provisions secured to those inhabit ants advantages and privileges which, in his opinion, the constitution of the United States did not authorize the Government to confer. Such was not only his Own opinion, but the opinion of the then Presi dent of the U. States. That opinion was I well known to the world, and ha 1 been j expressed in numerous letters written at ! that time. Saich als was the opinion of ! the immediate successor of the President j hoped it would be laid before the public : at that lime Secretary of Sta e ; and in j and that, a: the regular session, all parties consequence of that opinion, he (Mr. A.) : would be prepare to meet the issue, ha J introduced into the Senate at the time, i Mr. Pktrikex moved to lay the reso r.'solntions by which the stipulations in ; lu ion and amendments on the table, favor of the Province of Louisiana should On which motion the yejs and nays be fulfilled and that the rights ol the citi- zens of the United Stat? s which the Trea - ,y S'Jpu!,u, d they should enjoy should be strured to them bv that power which i !rif in hi nninmn mill I "n'r n re t hem an I that was, the people of vhe United S'ates. Sena''1. For that purpose, he had, in the proposed an amendment to the j Contitu'ion. On these questions he had been over-ruled; and notwithstanding the opiniDn of the President of the United States and of the Sccre.tiry of State, the Congress of that day did presume to car ry the treaty into full effect, and to pr f irm functions which, as Mr. A. believ ed, belonged exclusively to the people of the tJnited States. Now the ca?e was changed. If, under the first resolution which had been adopted, it should anpear that the proposition had actually been made to Mexico to cede a portion of ter- J correspondence, it any nau passcu. wnicn vitory to th? United States, and if it had : the government should be ashamed to ex happened that that portion bad been ac- hibit to this House and to the American cepted,.nnd that a treaty had been made j nation. So fully confident was he of this by which the inhabitants of that portion of fact, that he j-hould vole for the adoption the Mexican terrilnTv thus ceded by their of the resolution. sovereigns , to the U. States, should enjoy tho rights of citizens of the U. States, and annong tha rest, th t of the riijht ol bnn admitted in, due time as a State or Statc of this Union if that treaty had been formed, and had been ratified by the smrtion of two thirds of the Senile it would thn have to come before thr Hous, and the precedents of Lonisian and Florida adduced to answer the objections to this operation on constitutional grounds. But here was a totally different case. It was not the case of a foreign government ceding a territory to the U. States an i stipulating for certain advantages to its citizens uolerthe constitution of the U. States; but it was a whole nation a whole people who were proposed to oe admitted into the Union and to enjoy all tho rights of citizens. Now this opera tion was a totally different one from tnai of receiving a cession of territory; an operation which, in his opinion, he declar ed beloie God no power on eartn was ca pable of performing, except the people oV Texas on the one side, and the people of fhe,U. States on the other. The Repub lic of Texas bad never, by constitution, conferred on its Executive the power to make this proposition nodidrwe know that it was intended by " the 'people of Texas ia do so.

Already the tank offence has gone up to high heaven, ihat we have employed some hundreds of the Creeks ttgainsl the Seminoles ; but as though disgrace enough had not been in curred by what has beenincidentally dene in this way, there are those who would extend the murderous policy, by bringing hordes of Indians down from the far west more than two thousand miles lo hunt down the miserable remnant of the Sem inoles! For their sustenance thryare to provide for themselves buffi lo meat. An ither beautiful illustration of American humanity! There are now two hundred thousand Indians in the 'vest, nain!y de pendent upon liie buffaloes for their susten ance ; and when lhe reckless waste of ihose nnima's, at the instigation of the fur companies, is taken i o account, it is be lieved that the supply will be exhausted within ten or twelve years at best.
