Petersburg Statesman. RICHMOND, Va., Fill DAY, JINK 10, 1812. J. (I. ADAMS.-firui,t Wo cannot do better tins morning than lay before our readers the following eloquent and withering re- buke byW.n. Coot Johnson, of the mischievous doc¬ trines of this old sinner. Will he never learn to pay any respect to (lie rights of the South? 11 is defeat by the South still rankles in Ins heart, and instead of encouraging peace among the different sections of the country, his last moments seem to be devoted to fan¬ ning tha flame of discord : Thursiltitj, June li, 1S4'2. Mr. Adams's motion being under consideration, to strike out the word "while" from the provision, for uni¬ versal white suffrage in the election of Mayor of Alex¬ andria, and Mr. Adams having addressed the House in support of this motion, Mr. Win. Cost Johnson obtain¬ ed the floor, and remarked that, before lie took his seat, he would make a motion which would dispose of the question before the House. He proceeded to sav that lie was one of the members on the floor who had voted as did the gentleman from Massachusetts, (Mr. Adams,) to lay the w hole subject on lite table, but, lie must confess, from very diflerent mo¬ tives than seemed to actuate that member, lie was not conscious, as the gentleman had stated, that there was great excitement throughout the nation on the sub¬ ject which he had introduced. If any Slate, or part of a State in the Union, North or South, was agitated on the question whether negroes should vote or uot, it had not yet reached his knowledge. It such were the fact, that'gentleman was the first to apprize him of it. Sofar from agitation and convulsion among the States of this Union on the present question, lie believed that there was nothing of it out of this Hall. Here, on this floor, was the source and spring ;.f most of the agitation w Inch existed in relation t<» liie black population of ibis Union. lie was sorry to tint! that this Hall was continually thrown into excitement and diverted from the grave pur¬ poses for which it was designed by the Constitution, and transformed into an arena lor the agitation of questions settled when the Constitution itself was framed, and that day alter day tlioce who ought most to revere that instrument ar.d to sustain the institutions sanctioned and croarantied by it were those who were doing mott to overthrow them. And there were those whose ingenui¬ ty was ever taxed to find r.cw questions of irritation to the South, anJ fresh modes of u-'sault upon its institu¬ tion*. They had heard learned jests, quaint buffoone¬ ry, and piquant wit used here time after time, when oilier mollis were exhausted, against the slave-holding region of the Union; and tins, t'io, oRenest from those who, in their history, hud at tunes most anxiously woo-j ed Southern interests and Southern influences. And these recent assaults sprang most frequently from members on this ll >or, who haii, in earlier life, forfeited the confidence of llictr constituents and people at the North, and had been repudiated at home bv a people with w hom they were reared,and whose feelings they had out¬ raged; am! had thrown the;n«?lv >s ou the broad, warm bosom of the South, to be nursrd again into political life and power by the generous confidence of thai region, and by the liberal benevolence of Presidents who were the proprietors and owners of slaves. There were such gentlemen; and one memorable in¬ stance of the kind on tins floor is more remarkable, he was forced to say, than any of the rest. That gentleman, when consigned to private life at home, was placed by a Southern President in a station of exalted rank and dignitv, and was made, as he has said, "the boy Minister," a representative of the nation abroad. '1 his was but a step stone to the higher honors and higher offices within the gift (f Southern slaveholding and slave-protecting Presidents. What was the course of this gentleman thenr Was it then a« now- Has the Constitution been altered since then? W ho, then, so able.who went so far ns himself in defence of slavery and slave territory? His strong pen and ready tongue were ever used in defence of both. As if to "justify his recent outrages on the South, now he boasts, as an offset to Ins present. course, that then he went far, very far, beyond the opinions of a Southern President, and all the Southern members of Ins Cabinet, in vindication of slavery and the territory ot* ttie South. Then the ifentleinan would have Texas.not as now excluded from the Union. but would have been willing to have the Southwestern borders of the nation extended almost to the very pa-' laces of the Montezuma*. Then none so fierce am! unyielding as that gentleman to vindicate the Amen- can flag, on whatever slnp found flying, and the at- tempts on the part of England to arrest American ships at sea and interrogate them rudely were most bitterly denounced. And, as Secretary of State, Ins was the! Ia:<t and most reluctant pen to indite instructions to our Minister in London to negotiate a treaty tor the mutual right to search slave-trading vessels. lie; would repeat.whose pen and whose tongue were then so rend v or so strong to vindicate all that the t>outh now exacts? [The Speaker here interposed ] Mr. Johnson sr.id that the gentleman from Mas¬ sachusetts (Mr. Adams) had discussed members on, this floor even to their color.the strongest and most indelicate unpailiamentary personality.and hud not then been interrupted by the Chair, and as he meant to make but a few remarks upon the principles of that gentleman, he hoped he would not be inter* rupted. Mr. Johnson proceeded, and said he was not con-; scious that the gentleman had changed Ins opinions in relation to the South, even in leiM, when the South had in a body voted against him for the Pre¬ sidency. On these doctrines and principles, which the gentleman's pen and tongue had so long zealously advocated, so long ns the South could give a vote on the Presidential question, and he a candidate for re-election, the gentleman was yet unchanged. The obdurate South might yet prefer him, and appreciate as lie did himself his efforts in her behalf. lint bv the election in lr'^3 the gentleman was con¬ signed again to the shades ot private life, without the hope of being replaced in the ollice which he had tilled. It was not until the South preferred another candidate to himself, and another was elected, and he consigned to the shades of New P.ngland without this last crown-1 ing honor of Ins ambition, that they beheld him who had been nourished and supported until he had grown strong and powerful by her former generosity, with fangs""saturated with the most deadly hate, and tongue which oiitvenoms all the venoms of Nile," that he, like the character in the fable, turned upon to lacerate the bosom that, had nourished him into power, and fed into energy the latent vi^nom of his nature. And now, like Marius, who had f;ll< d the highest honors of the most renowned republic in the world, when evicted by the power of his rivals from place, he would, to indulge his ambitious thirst for notoriety, and to gratify his re¬ venge upon what he would please to consider an un¬ grateful people whom he had served, retire to the Pon¬ tine marshes and exhort the fugitive slaves that they had been cruelly treated by their masters, and tell them that they were equal in all respects; discourse on the rights of man, the equality of human nature; that the G7.d of Nature made all men free; that slaves were not property, but persons; they had a right to vote, and a right to rule; and warm their passions by art and elo¬ quence to revenge their wrongs; and then, like Marius, direct their revenge first against their masters of the capital of the republic, and then for supremacy to de¬ luge a republic in blood. [Mr. James rose to a point of order.] Mr. Johnson resumed, and snid lie had but a single remark more to make upon this branch of the subject, and he would then relieve gentlemen from their solici¬ tude. The front theory of our Government, and of every Representative Government, was, n* he understood it, that the Representative should faithfully reflect the wishes as well as the interests of his constituency.. The Constitution, for particular"purposes made Con- trrvMc the Legislature for the District ol Columbia. 1° The people of Alexandria, a part of the District, wished them to pass a specific law, for which they had memorialized Congress, and which the Commit-1 lee for the District had reported in a bill to the House. They now heard the rights of man, the rights of liberty, the ri»hts of negroes to vote, a disquisition on the shades of color, and the eolored population in nrneral, all brought up; and they were ser.ously in¬ voked to discard the proposition of the committee, which rospnn led faithfully to the wishes of the people of Alexandria, and adopt n series or diflerent and ad¬ verse schemes. We now find gentlemen, to gratify whatever personal feelings they may have, or whatever fancies might float through their excited imagi¬ nations, introducing, indiscriminately, amendment after amendment, and project alier project, to baulk proper legislation, and thwart the wishes of that people, who were immediately interested in the sub.ee t. He was conscious of no principle, either under the Constitution of the U. S. or in accordance with the genius of our institutions, which could justify the mo¬ tive of the gentleman from Massachusetts in the reasons which he had given for the course he had thought pro¬ per to pursue. He could imagine no other object for it than to increase the irritation in the South , he cou < conceive it of no purpose, either useful to this House, the people of Alexandria, or the people at large. much capital might be made out of it elsewhere he could not tell. If there was any portion of the people of this vast Union who found their happiness promoted y ex¬ citing the Soulh, he could only say he commiserated and pitied from his inmost soul every such individual, but, in reference to Representatives on this fl-.or, t iere were such, he would always judge how far he would review- and discuss them. For one, he hoped the Chairman of the Committee for the District of Columbia would be allowed to manage his own business in bis own way. lo call uu such bills as he was intruded y us com omiee to urge, and that geutlemeu would vote for or jagainst them without making ibis District the arena for their crutlc experiments ond newfangled notions. And, in conclusion, lie would now move to lay the proposition of Mr. Adams on the table. The Speaker iuid that would carry the bill with it. Mr. Johnson. So much the betler. The motion of Mr. Adams and the bill were laid on the table.Ayes ST, noes(i(j. I'lSTKI fit 'Tli i.\.

There has been a season of Religious Revival for more than two months past, at which, some of the most distinguished Ministers of various sects, from distant places, have poured forth their eloquent exhortations.

The truth is, every class and indi¬ vidual is now suffering Iroin the pressure of the times. It is not peculiar to the manufacturers, and we do not think tliat they ought to be specially provided for.. Let them v.ait, as the others, for the healing hand of Time ; and let us not, under the pretext of temporary relief, force upon the country an irremediable evil..

"The state of the markets nt the close of bus'inn^ yesterday, presented rather a sluggish, but healthy appearance. The tendency of every thing is to im-j prove in spite of the unfavorable news, which is continually reaching us from abroad. The feelings seem to be gaining strength, that our mercantile, prosperity, now depends upon ourselves, and is less influenced by accounts from abroad, because there are comparatively few open credits standing, that are likely to be operated upon by a money pressure.; The crops here are Urge, and money is in proper hands, abundant, u fact, which arises doubtless from the inacli- vity of trade, as well as the low prices of goods and pro-j duce; a* soon, however as tiie currency of the youth and West shall have become fully purified and re-estnblised and Congress shall have decided upon some permanent system of finance, trade must inevitably incrcasp, and the tendency of every thing will be to improve. In. fact, this would long sliiê liuve taken place, but for the disgraceful state of things in Congress.

The news received durug the week, sixteen days later from England, did n>t for reasons above hinted, act unfavorably upon the com¬ mercial circles, not withstanding that they were epre sented much worse abroad. "We stated last Saturday, that the present DirfCtors of the Greenwich Bank have, within the year, sud out a good proportion of their dtock. This is corrict in nubstance, but we understand thai gpnprally, tiint stock has been hypothecated, and the sellers, through the means of proxies, continue to control the stock. There is altogether about IG<!0 shares hypothecated to charter¬ ed companies, and if that hypothecated stock is allow¬ ed to lie voted upon, and it the proxies thereof should vote the ticket made by the sharing of spoils direc¬ tor-', it would be doubtful whether the hunu fide stock¬ holders would succeed in their endeavor to retrieve the affairs of the Bank. They ought, one and all, at¬ tend in a body the election which takes place on Mon¬ day, June 6th, at 1*2 o'clock, and be particular to be there before the time, so as to be satisfied that the election is conducted fairly, and defeated, they ought on the spot agree to ndopt at once prompt measures to protect what remains of their properly, and thereby avoid the fate of the stockholders of the Commercial Hank, of the Lafayetle Hank, and in one word, of all the banks that pay no dividends, if allowed to go on with the same directors that have forfeited public confidence. "The Auburn and Rochester Railroad hare declared a dividend of 5 per cent., semi-nnnual, payable at the Bank of the State of New York, July 1st. "The Governor of Illinois has appointed Major J.

"The two English financial luminaries, Sir Ilorsley Palmer and Samson llicardo, Esq , made their appear¬ ance in Wall street to-day. The former gentleman comênc^d his business with the North American Trust and Bunking Company, but we apprehend he will find it a tangled skein. Mr. Kicardo, and all those who hope to reach .Slate credit through Ft dera! interference, will lose I heir time and labor. They will find that sovereign and independent States on this continent, although allied for mutual welfare and defence, will sutler neither dictation nor coercion from any quarter whatever. The only way for those gentlemen to procure payment, is lor them to shuw, by indubitable evidence, that their claims are l/<mu f.ilr, and were legally contracted according to the laivs of the States where they orignated. When those facts are established to the satisfaction of the people who are called upon to pay, they will pay of their own accord; but until their judgments are convinced on this head, all time and trouble will be lost. The people have been shaved all sorts of ways. Among the tradi tions of Wall street is one that a Western Commission¬ er placed a certain quantity of bonds in the hands ofu Wall street house t»> yell on commission. These were sent abroad and disposed of at one price, and the com¬ missioner was settled with at another, the difference $152,000, remaining with ihe broker. Now this may be said to be a first rale transaction.nny, a prime ope¬ ration, and very lucrative; but whether the people should consent lo pay for it or not, 'the wise roav make some dram of a scruple, or indeed a scruple itself.' "The New York American, excellent authority on such matters, states that a defalcation to the extent of j 100,(100 has been discovered in the accounts of James S.

It is farther stated that Mr. S. has been Se¬ cretary of the Company for many years, and possessed its unbounded confidence. Of course credit operations cannot take place without confidence." .N'tic Democratic Papers. We take great pleasure in slating, that we have HPen no belter sign of the permanent ascendancy of Republican principles in Virginia, than the establish¬ ment of Democratic juirnals in the old strongholds of the enemy. Our opponents have had a great advan¬ tage over us in the number of papers ; but we have gradually increased our forces, so as to meet them at every point. "The ilng of 'ltd," Jno. W. Kinks, pub¬ lisher, a new Democratic journal, established at War- renton, in Fauquier, has been pent to us. We like its spirit, and v.i>h it success. We have no doubt, that with its strong arm, it will aid essentially in maintain¬ ing our ascendancy in Fauquier. We give place this morning to the Prospectus of the .'Democratic Recorder," to be published in Fredericks¬ burg, by J. Madison Campbell. From information de¬ rived from the best sources, we are are impressed with the op:nion, that the "Recorder" will be ably conduct¬ ed. We trust that it will flourish and shed much light over the benighted Federal regions of Fredericksburg. The Independent in a style of ridiculous purism re vives an old piece of scandal about a distinguished De¬ mocrat, and in a taunting minner talks about " a de¬ cent Democrat" as a contradiction. On the other side, if we were allowed lo quote I lie line of Pope, "That a want of decency u a want nf sense,"' and apply it to the course o| the independent, we might retort the chargc upun that discreet and polished journal.

Lvery Democratic Republican must feel gri ally re- ijoicedat the overwhelming defeat which the modern Whig party huve sustained in the recent election in this State. Virginia, the land of Jefferson, which ao dearly cherishes the principles of Democracy, is found where she always has been.(I pray God the may so continue,) maintaining the good old doctrines of "prin¬ ciples and not men".the principles of'ISdarid 'IT.) . the Constitution as it is, and not what wicked andde- signing politicians should make it. The Democratic Republican party have, at all times, contended lor a strict and rigid interpretation of the Federal Constitu¬ tion. In the 10th article of the amendments to tin- Constitution, it is expressly declared, that "the powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." Ileuce, the Democratic party have uniformly opposed the incor¬ poration by the Federal Government of a United Utatis IJan/i, as not being sanctioned by any one of the dele¬ gated powers of the Constitution. They have as con¬ stantly opposed the crpediencij of such an institution, as not being "necessary and proper for carrying into execution" any one of the expressly delegated powers. A United Slates Bank is not a "necessary and proper" power to enable the Federal Government, (as is con¬ tended by its advocates,) "to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts, and excises," because all of these du¬ ties have been, at different periods of our history, and, particularly for the last six or seven years, properly performed, without the -intervention of any such insti¬ tution.consequently, it is not one of the incidental powers of the Constitution. In the language of the great Apoitle of American Liberty, (Mr. Jefferson,) a United Slates Hank is dangerous to our Republican in¬ stitutions, and the welfare of our common country. The Federal party, in the last canvass, raised the ques¬ tion of the reception of Virginia's proportion of the odious Distribution Fund, in every part of the Sfate, as their elt-cliontering hobby.to the honor of the pa¬ triotism, virtue, and intelligence of the people of the "Old Dominion," be it said, it proved utterly unavail¬ ing. What! give away to the Slates the proceeds aris- ir.g from the sales of the public lands, and at a time, too, when the Federal Government has not «uf:icienl funds, without a resort to an increased tarilf, to meet its own necessary appropriations.the very idea seems preposterous. The power is no where granted in the Federal Constitution, authorising Congress to raise money by taxation, for the purpose of distributing it among the Slates ; fur, it should be recollected, that a large portion of the public domain, (especially that por¬ tion lying in the State of Louisiana,) now authorised to be distributed according to the land bill of the. Kxtra Session, was acquired by the United States of France, by purchase, for the sum of fifteen millions of dollars. And again, this land bill appears to have been passed in direct opposition to the plain intention of Virginia, when her Legislature passed the act, "to authorize her delegates in Congress, to convey to the United Slates in Congress assembled, all therightof this Common¬ wealth, to the Territory North-westward of the river Ohio, passed December"-iOth, 17In that act, it is plainly and expressly declared, "that all the lands within tin; Territory so ceded to the United States, " ' * * * * *" shnll be cunsnltrcd us u com mon fund for the j/srnnd benrjit of such of the United Slates us hurt, br.comc, or shall become members of the Con- federation or federal allinure of the said Malts, i'tr- trinia inclusive, according lo their usual respective proportions/'/) the grnrrul churne and expenditure, and shall hr faithfullij and bona jide disposed of for that purpose, and fur no other vse or purpose ichutsucrtr " The Whigs raised the question of "money or no mo¬ ney r" Virginia answered promptly, and, (as I think 1 have shown,) correctly, in the negative. The people of Virginia are decidedly against the mischief and op¬ pression of an unconstitutional Tariff, whether it wears the deceitful garb /if "Distribution," or the honest name of "TurifT." Hut 1 must close this hasty com¬ munication, as 1 fear 1 have already occupied too large a space in your valuable paper. Suffer me, in conclu¬ sion, to congratulate you, and our Democratic friends in Virginia, upon the glorious victory achieved over modern Whijgery, not only in the 'Old Dominion," but in every oilier State, where an election has been held, since the Presidential Election, with, perhaps, the single exception of the State of Vermont, and even ihere, the Whigs failed lo elect their Governor by the vote of the people.a ma jority of the Legislature being Whig, elected a Whig Governor. In truth, the many unwise and unconstitutional measures of the Whigs, since their accession to power, have awakened the De¬ mocratic party, in every quarter of our Union, and they are preparing, when the time arrives, to expel the Federalists from the eapilal. MOW KENT. Orksinf; nr i iik JIaii.koau.. I tie extension w uip Baltimore and Ohio Railroad West of Harper's Kerry, in now complete to a point opposite Hancock, in .Mary¬ land, a distance of about forty-three miles. The first locomotive reached Hancock on Saturday Inst, with n splendid new car, nnd a small pleasure party, invited by the officers of the Company. On .Monday, the Direct¬ ors of the Company, the Mayor and City Council of Baltimore, and a number of other gentlemen left Bal¬ timore for an excursion on the new road, and were joined by a number of other invited guests at Harp-r's Ferry, Martinsburg and other points on the route. The train consisted of three of the new cirs, and arrived at Martinsburg about iio'clock. An immense mass, comprising nearly the whole po¬ pulation of the town, and a very large number from the country, had assembled to witness the arrival. The passengers, alter dining in Mnrtinsburg, proceeded to Hancock, and returned here to tea, and, on Tuesday morning, hack to Baltimore. The road, the locomotives, and the cars, are unsur¬ passed by any in the United States. From Harper's Ferry to Hancock, the location is through a country of great interest. Tile fertile fields of Jefferson and Berkeley, groaning under the luxuriance of the jjrow- ing crops, are passed as if at lightning speed, arid be¬ fore the passenger has time to realize the transition, he is whirled along the banks of the majestic Potomac, through h mountain region of surpassing grandeur.. The depp cuts through the North mountain, which were first designed to be tunnelled, entirely exclude the sun's rays, and give an idea of approaching night. Those interested in the road seemed to regatd it as every thing they could desire. It is constructed upon quite an expensive plan, but true economy ic in the end promoted; for, beside the increased security to life and property, it will require little repair for many years, while all the roads built upon the cheaper and lighter plans require constant tinkering and renewing. |l is the design of the company to push the comple¬ tion to Cumberland. The graduation and masonry are finished, we understand, at every point except perhaps the Doe Gullcy Tunnel, and the track is being laid. [.Martinsburg Gazelle, June 2.
