adopting rurh a cojr.o as would unilu t:ie South
and the North on this qui-tlimi, end put an t'lid to
this distracting subject. I le was nut uuvkilliu
I hi I some regulation should ftn, declaring It to
ho the opinion of the Mouse that Congress hud
not tho power tu legislate on the subject uf clave
ry, in the District of Columbia ; but ho knew
tiis'. to be a doubtful question, as to which the
most eminent of our jurists differed, and even the
people itf tho South held conflicting opinions.
He had no dupo.iliori to ccnture thotc of tho
North who might hold that Corigrcfs had the pow
er in this District, and ho would gnu them tho
iiioic credit, on that account, for going with the
South against nil interference by Cungiucs wilh
the subject. It wafc thn object of Jus resolution
to tooth e the exasperated feeling uf tho South and
restore harmony to this lloiitf. It proputcd all
which the South required, and no mute than they
had a right to at..
In committee of the whole on the state of ttu
Union, a bill was taken up and rrpultcd, apro
pruting $80,000 to defray the expenses the

bracing 550.000 for thn pay and inilcago of

taken up, and .Mr Coinbreteng addressed the House
in favor of il. .Mr Hardin, of Kentucky, made
some objections tn the bill, nnd on his motion it was

I tie bill to carry into effect the Convention be

.Mr .Mnson ot Va. explained the obiect of the
bill.
Mr J. Q.Adams objected to thn measuro that
on pretutica of saving tho expense of establishing
Uuard of CommicMctier, according to the gen
eral usage, it devolved the duty upon the Attorney
General, as the sole commissioner, nnd gave hun a
salary of 3,000 dollars for the duty, in addition to

The bill was patted over for tho present.

submit to such interference, and the true course
was at onco to put an end lo these petitions by
shewing that they would not be receued. Any
oihcr course would piv, them importance, and this
tbe abolitionists well understood,
Mr Morns made a few remarks, in which lie
maintained the sters-d character of the right of
petition, and declared that the people had a right
to put their feet on tbe Constitution and demand
it inviolability. He denied the right oi Congress
to Interfere with tbc question of Slavery in the
Stales, but asserted the power of exclusive leri-
latiun over the District of Columbia, and any doc
trine which denied the existence of that power was
new to him, and would not be received in the Stale
in which he rriidtd. He considered tho claimin?
of the power to preaenbe lo the people, how, when I to address an inquiry to the Chairman of the Com

they profited, he desired i-ce more of them ex

and when they did I hit-, b should call on every
Smilberu niembrr to put us feet on tin petition,

Mr I'reston reminded tic Senate uf what was
said by the Chairman of (Jimnnltee on the District
of Ciilumbii, two u-arsgo, that when these peti
tions were referred lulhat Committer', no more
would be heard of thiin, that it would bo tu them
a Lion's den, from ivhich there would bo no feet
prints to show that any thing returned. Hut the
Southern States tvere now in thai liluation that
they demanded some more explicit action, espe
cially uf!or tliu orcurenevs of the last rummer.
Incendiary publications had inundated the Southern
Slates, and the apostles uf abolition were roaming
abroidin every d. ruction. Thus a dread hail been
stricken into every Southern bosom in regard lo
ihe security of their property : and now the' Sen
uls was urged to act indirrclly on thn Mihjert,
Inriuigh the Dirtrict of Columbia, He cmild not
sit and hear '.ho puwor uf government invoked on
this subject, not that ho feared the ac'ion of the
government, which could not interfere bv law or
hy phvical force, for the South would defend her
rights to thu laht, by her voice, and, if needful, by
her armor. She was bound by nn inexorable lie
rcfbily to defend her righu by nil tho means which
Uuu nnu iiaturo had nut ltiln her hands. Ho im
plored gentlemen lo look at her condition, and lo
see that tho effect of this interference would be to
wrap her cities in Hatnes, and cover her fields with
blood. Mr 1. continued at considerable length to
depict tho enn.-equi-nces which would result from
the course which ho now wUhcd tu cheek.
.Mr lluchaunan declared his conviction that Con
gross hod no power to interfere with the domestic
policy of thu hlavs-hulding Stater, although ho ad
milted, tint on the abstract question of blavcry he
teltjuyt nslho Stale did hich he assitJcd to rep

friend, on this subject, ond he rcgretled that he
could not at'join-rt ;,t d,Mr opinions on the sub
ject. lie euggcbted that from the feeling of the
Senate, there was good reason to believe that some
union might be effect d upon sonic measure, satis
fartury t all, if tlto iticuooion wcrn poutpuncd un
III Monday, and concluded wilh a motion to that
clfect.
.Mr Ilenton coincided in this suggestion, and ex
nibiled u picture which had been thrown into his
room, exhibiting a trco of li'ierty, with a crowd of
colored people underneath it in degraded attitudes
Ho warned Ihc abulitinnints that llicte pictures
would result in consequences which their liven
would not remedy, and sla'cd that rt settlement of
quiet colored people had been just driven from tho
vicinity of St. Louis, through the intorfcrenco of
these fanatics, and were now seeking n home
where they could find it,
Mr Tyler was of the opinion that the motion of
J
,lc JeillU0r fWM (;ttrilina
lid not go far
enough to correct the practice of bending petitions
here, as the rejection uf the petitions niieht bn rc
prcfentcd as merely owing to the indecorum of the

said, was able to defend herself in tho open day,

men on lho tone of their opinions, and said he
feared nothing from that quarter if the Southern
Senators didnot provoke agitating discussion?.
He contrasted Ihe silent manner in which a similar
felt in consequence of soino extracts sent tu him
from & review by Dr. Channing, aud said that if

On motion of Air llarutn, who complained mat

Tun following njcuuut oftho legacy lately left
to our General (iuvcrumrnt fur tho foundation of a
literary inMitullon, is from lho corrc.iponde.il of
the Union Daily Advcrtircr. Tliti writer is in nr
ror, however, in stating thai Ihu Hugh Sin.lhson
in whose favor lho lilies ef lho Percy family wcio
revived, was a descendant of the old Pcrcius. In
point of fact, he became connecloil with Ibciu only
by marrying the female representative of the fami
ly, the male heirs having become cxtincl j and he
subsequently dropped (he name of Smilhson, ami
assumed the name and arms of Percy. The Smith
son who has left llns legacy, mutt have been a
whole or half-brother of the Lord Percy who at tho
brenkiug out of our revolution figured in the retreat
of the llritish troops from Concord, and who died
in England (having succeeded to his falhei't Duke-
dum; in 1617.
U'ASiii.Noro.N, Dec. !i8, 1830.
Tho President has communicated official infor
mation to Congress of the large donation, uf which
there was talk last nutumn, made by on English
man fur thn foundation of a literary institution; and
as the facts aro a little curious, I givo you what I
have learned un tho subject.
Vou may, perhaps, be aware that the male lino
of the old'l'ereies of lho- house of Northumber
land is extinct. The estates devolved, during thn
lust century , upon Hugh Smilhson, a descendant
of tho family in tlifennlu line, in whose favor the
title was revived ; and tho present Duko of North
umberland is of this funily of Sinithrotis.
This Sir Hugh Smilhson, first Duke of North
umbciland of the family, had a son, James Sinilli
son, hy his wife Elizabeth, heiress of the Hunger
fords of Audley, nnd ncico of Charles tho proud,
Duke ofSomerfct, well known to memoir-readem
ami to persons conversant with the personal history
of eminent Englishmen.
Jimes Smithson diud, bequeathing all his prop
erty to his bankers, in trusl, that thu properly
should be enjoyod during life, by hi nephew, Hen
ry James Hungerford, u.id descend to his childien
if he had any, If not, then 'to the United States of
America, to found, at Washington, under tho
mine of ihe Smithsonian Institution, an establish
munt for the incrcaso and diffusion of knowledge
among men.'
Tho will is dated tho 22d of Oct. 1820. Hen

The subject has been referred in tho Houso to a
