JOHN @. ADAMS.


From, tie .No.c- York National .4drocdte, Of
august 1891.
The last National lntcllgcncer contains the
Grafton, delivered by John Quincy Adams, Esq.
on the fourth of July. We have frequently re-
GREETED the prevailing custom Of committing to
very Young men the public rccapiulation of
those great events connect ID with eorgin, pro-
rrcss and termination of our revolutionary con-
test, because these events receive q stronger
and more faithful cooring from the maturer
judgement and phosophic minds ofthose states
men who rank high in the estimation of their
country. At length we have one of the first or
der.
The Oration of Mr.. Adams may be considered.
as ono of the most finished productions cf mo-
,lcrn times, and one the happicst efforts of &C
MUS, eloquence and patriotism. Its length may
prevent its insertion in all of our public journals,
but W. do not hesitate to declare that it should
be real BIZ every American: nay, by every
friend of liberty and law throughout the world,
and preserved as one of the best efforts of the
head and heart.
Mr.. Adams is a very extraordinary man.
He cxcitcs but little interest: appears to have
no friends who are pressing him before the peo-
pie, and who wish to secure to him an approba-
ton which he docs not merit or "A rank to which
he is not entitled and yet he occasionally pre-
scnts himscfto the world in garb So alluring,
that men think highly of him, in refercuce to
the &C high place." against their will. The pro-
auctions of his pen act like silent monitors. am,
produce reflection, which ever will result in his
favor. His triumph is always cnviablc one :
1t is the triumph of genius of reason; and OF
intelligence.

| The proposed Tariff can never be looked
upon but in rcsiriciico point of view. Ii, there
| fore, it be intended b: such means to promote
the domestic industry and manufactures OF our
ncighbors, VIC have not tl,c least hesitation TO
aver, that the measure will ultimately complete
ly fail Gifts object. a free intercourse l., or a
ready exchange accommodates betwixt foreign
countries has ever been held up as the great
fountain of commercial prosperity, and contra
| ~ line OF conduct the very engine BIZ which it
Is to be shackcd and cncrvatcd. This has been
discovery, though rather late one, of the
greatest political economists of England, by
whose advice the British Ministry are now sole
~ guiIed in all their commercial cnactments
1t is impossible for any civilized country to exist
at the same iinc to prospe: without consider
able participation i'll what has been termed pas
sivc trade 1t is impossible that every country
however ric. III agricultural and commcrciaicn-
terprZo, can produce every desert ption of food
and manufacture necessary Tor the consumption
and qualification of its various inhabitants The
consequence viii DC, that the inhabitants will
seek This qualification wherever they can find il
nj whatever PRICE o" peril. The moment then,
tiiat ihe importation from Great Britain 10 the
United States is met by duties amounting TO a
prohibiting; scale, that instant will n portion at
least OF Inc trade formerly carried on revert to
some other channel. The channel must ncces-
sarily be the st. Lawrence: and though moth
ing could more materially tend to improve the
growing prosperity Of this country than the inca
sure proposed, yet VIC cannot but condemn IL as
void Of every commercial and political Iiberatv
and gooi sense. AT The same time that it will
mnro The general trade AMI public revenue o.
ihe L niicl states ii must DC attended with the
serious Consequences Of rctarng their acricuI-
tarai improvements: Tor many persons at present
engaged in the latter pursuit, will, without due
cnl'iiry, be tempted TO embark in manufac-
iiircs, while want OF an honorable passive
trade with foreign countries, must ultimately
bring down upon them disappointment and
ruin. Had il not been for the Furs of Canada
the Europeans never would have thought ofsup-
plying instruments of luxury to the natives had
not taken taste for the instruments of luxury
furnished to them by the Europeans, ihey ne
vcr w2lid have become so indefatigable nor so
deXtcrous hunters. The case is exactly SINH.
lar with regard to the 1incd wants of the Ameri-
cans--!l the people had no idea of the articles
OF luxury afforded TO them from foreign coun-
tries they would never display such industry in
creating mans TO give in exchange for them,
and without them, as We have said before, they
cannot and will not exist.
