Congressional

We gave last week a short abstract of the tliscussion in ifce House, on Monda}-, June 7, in refcrence to the Gag Rule. I appears from the proceedings that the South expected to carry the vole. While sundry attempts wero making to dofer or set nside the cali for the previous question, there were cries of "Question, question; let it come; let us have it." After the vote was taken, Mr. Wise remarked, that the vote was too striking for him not to admit that there was a mnjority in this House, ia favor of receiving these petitions. He gave notice that it would be his object lo move to lay the quess tion of reception on theMable. He would not, dared not yield one inch of ground ever occupied by the South on this suljoctj Aresolution was then passed for tho appointment of the standing commutees, and for a select committee, on tho ''currency and a fiscal asent."TüESDATjJunO 8.

In the House Jüne 9th. - Mr. Ingerso'l of Pa., moved to reconsider the vote by which the 21st rulo was rescinded. He addressed the House at great length,undertaking to show that the anti-slavery movement was only an alliance of fanatics herc with the enemies of the Government in Europe, for the overthrow of republican institutions. Mr. Adams roused the indignation of the Soath by stat ing that in his opinión, f the House should decide in favor of restoring the rule which prescribes abolition petitions, that act will, of itself, absolve the people of the North from all obligations to defend the institution of elavery in any emergency that might arise. June llth. - The debate was continuedto-day with great spirit and excitement o fbeling by Mr. Ingersoll, and Mr. Mar shall of Ky. The rnotion to reconside was lost; ycaa 110- nays 116.

He charged the Speaker with favoriii", in .: the construction of the committces, the Eastern States vhence abolition sprung He was determinad tooppose every one o1 these peiiiions. He was scvere on Mr. Adonis. As soon as he had concluded, Mr. Botts, of Virginia, moved the previj ous question. The voto adopting llic rules j of the last Congres?, excepting tho 21st I was rescinded, by a vote of lCo yeas to j 104 nays. This result produced a greai [ sensation. It will be secn that the House was not fuü when the vote was taken. Jvne 17.- In the House, Mr. Siuart.of Virginia, l.rought forvvard a proposiuon which had been agreod upon the night before at a Whig caucus, and to whigh a part of the Southera whigs had agreed. it was as fol'ows : ilUpon ths presentation of petitions and other papers, on subjecls not speciaUy rcferred lo the considerafion of the ilou'se iI lüc Message oí President al ihe onening of the present extra session, objection to the reception shali beconsideredas made. and the qticstion oí' receJtion sha!! be uid upon the table. This rule to be considercdonly in forcé during the present session. Pelitions and other paperp, íbr or against a bankrupt law to be excepted from the opj eration of this rule." Mr. Brown of Penn., read anoiher propj ositiou, which would settle themaíter during the present Congress. Jle proposed, mstead ofthe21st rule, that no peti'ion fof the ubolition of slavery or the slavo irade in thc Síatesbe received; that no pétffiob focthe aboütion of slavery in this District or in any Territory of ihe United Síales be rectived unless coming from the inhabitanís thereof: and that such petitiun be luid on the table without consideraron. Mr. Alfred of Ga. made a stirring appcal to the true friends of the South, to rally to her support ín this hour of trial.- Ñow was the time to settle this queslion, and setild it íorever. It was the question, and was paramount itnportance to any other. It oniy postponed the execution of the decree against her for a few rnonths.Aüer some further debate, Iho main question was put and Mr. Stuart's proposition was adopted, yeas 119- nays 103. So that after so long a debate upon abo, Huon, the Ilouse has rescinded thc 21si rule,and simply adjourned the who!e subject till the next f=ession, when it wil! be jon hand again. The South i3 right ín saying the question musí be met It will be met and met in Congreso the elections sliall have taken place under the new apporliontncnt, wbich is to be made by Congress; the South will no more rule the j nation as they heretofore have done. Thc power of treading down the rights and feelings of the North will thcn hava departec1.
