Petition of Wilmot, Massachusetts, has been presented and committed. Comments on "termination of the long Presidential agony." Comments on the health of William H.

"...an instentaneous [sic] clapping in the galleries interrupted & suspended further proceedings... almost simultaneous with the first clap, a slight hissing is said to have followed." Jackson bore it "with good grace," and shook John Quincy Adams' hand. Jackson's supporters were sorely disappointed. People now discussing possibilities for the new Cabinet.
