"Perhaps few of our prominent men stand so
well IN respect TO moral character and republican
habits, as JoHN z. ADAMS. Slander itself whispers
nothing against him. His industry and Temperance
are properbial: even his enemies seem to accuse
him OF these as defects. To his unwearied appica-
ton they attribute his mental superiority, unwilling
to allow him what they term native genius - and,
as It determined to do him further honor, they pro-
nounce him unsocial and stiff, because his pursuits
and his taste disqualiiy him for high standing

evident that the whole force Of the enc.

part of Upper Canada, from Mlehilil'
mackanack, and from lake Michigan,
were proceeding to join tho forces at
Maiden; that the lake was closed a.

opened from Ohio was obstruoted by
hostile savages, g. that no forces from
our country were prepared for its pro-

exhausted, and asopply could not DO
obtained from any quarter; and thar.
under these circumstances, suggested
the expe6iepcy Of making a movement
of the army to the foot of the Rapids OF
the Mama, and there act as circum-
stances might require. The answer to
this was, as appears by Colonel Cass'
testimony, that the men, or soldiers,
did not think such measure necessa.
~, and if the orders were given, they
would not be obeysd.
This circumstance | have repeated,
to show the materials of which my ar
my was composed, and the difficulties
which attended my situation. Had this
measure at that time been carried into
effect, the army probably would have
been saved.
On the l5,h of August, the day after
Macarthur and Cass marched to the RI
YER Raisin, the British forces, with the
militia and savages, attending them,
marched from Maiden to Sandwich,
opposite to Detroit, with Gen. Brock at
their head. His letter, demanding
surrender of Detroit, and my answer,
have been recited. l Immediately sent
an express strongly escorted, to Near
thur and Cass, With orders to return
with all possible expedition to Detroit
stating that Gen. Brock had arrived,
with the rsinforoements from Fort
George, SC. &c. &c. bly, situation had
now become most critical. The sffec-
tive strength of two of my regiments
was absent at the river Rsisin, for the
purpose of opening the communication,
and guarding necessary supplies, in-
tended for my camp. The British
troops which had composed the garri-
SOUS on the east end Of the lake, with
the reinforcements from various parts
Of Upper Canada, had arrived. and. to-
gether win the force at Maiden. were
now eucamped at Sandwich. opposite to
Detroit. Information was received,
tina, the Canadian militia were coming
upon me from every quarter How all
this force had been brought from 80
many necessary points of defence to
bear upon my army, could net
imagine. What possible reasons could
have induced Gen. Brock to draw biz
troops from the vital part Of bis pro-
vince, and leave his most importat posts
exposed, 10 be taken by our troops Oh
the Niagara river, was tru mysterious.
Could have supposed that suspen-
sion of hostiliiies bad taken place 10
that quarter. il seems reasonable thatit
would have been under the condition Of
the two belliseren, parties TO have been
confined TO that location in which they
were situated at the commencement OF
