burning; but he is neither statesman, poll
tician. nor an orator. There is no sleadlness
in his view; no scope, nor calculation. ne ne
YER argues and never conyinces. When MS OPP
ponents are siienced, il is by his tlppancy, sar-
casm and insolence. 1t is only OF la:e tina. ms
friends have discovered what his enemies nave
long known--that be is man of great genius
cruelty disordered; creature Of high faculties,
iumbIed together without arrangement, ana
slumbering or rebellious, like so many PERSIAN
satraps, Just as the whim seizes them; IN one
word, peeyish, pestilent fellow, out OF his eie-
ment.
John Randolph car-ot be eloqucnt--for he
cannot reason--he never framed a syllogsm IN
his life; and his speeches, if map of his mind
were laid before us, and they were traced out,
with all their obiquilies and intersections,
would resemble the route OF defeated army.
His thoughts are continually ralying, and ne
yerunited He affects TO tighten sometimes
with that indignant spirit, which cannot, VIII
not brook the tedious formula OF demonstra-
ton; and he never fails more completely. He
never was respected, much more revered--and
never had any permanent influence; tor men
who wondered at his power and dreaded his
tartness, we're afraid to trust themselves to him,
for an hour. TWAS at time OF great popular
excitement. that he came out from among a
great party and publicly apostatlzeds lie be-
came a spectacle, like the Jew at Vienna, who
is annually converted, at just exactly enough
exnense to exhaust the funds oil the society
there, for the conversion Of Jews to Christanl-

candidate for Governor, on the death Of
Governor Sul6van--but he declined
again entering into public hfe, he was
cue of the Electors, and President OF
the Electoral College, when Mr.. Monroe
was elected President Of the United
States. Having been the principal
craftsman of the Constitution of this
State, when the Convention was called
to amend it in 1920, he was unani-
mously electedtheir President. On his
declining this honor, unanimous reso-
lutionswe passed by this great assem-
bly, of five hundred. selected from all
parties, expressive of their exalted
sense of his merits and public service.
The private character of President
Adams was perfectly pure, unsullisd
and unstained There was no Christian
or moral duty which he did not fofl;
the kindest of husbands and the best If
fathers. 10 the excellent precepts and
education which he gave his children.
the patton are undoubtedly indebted for
having at this time at their head his cid
est son.
President Adams was serene and
tranquil TO the last Conscious of having
performed his duty, and life well spent
and devoted to his country, the blasts OF
calumny which assaied his declining
years never rufiled the serenity of his
mind He regarded them as little as
the troubled elements, for he knew that
like them they would soon subsi1e, and
that then, every thing would be, like his
own bosom, peace and sunshine. To
say that be had weak points and ioibles,
Is but to say that he was man. But
his defects were those OF a bold and da-
ring spirit, an open, generous and CON
fidipg heart. lie knew no guile, and
he feared none. Havingno selfish pur.
poses to answer, he practised no arts TO
effect them. AZ The age of ninety. al
the completion of Ealf century from
the commencement OF that revolution he
had been so Instrumental in effecting
he sunk by gradual decay into the arms
Of death. Tie lived to see his country's
liberties placed on firm and immova-
pie basis, and the light of liberty which
she ditfused enhghteping the whole earth
On the Jubilee Of Independence, his
declining faculties were reused by the
rejoicingi in tho metropolis. He inquired
the cause of the salutes; and was told it
was the the fourth of July. He answer
ed, III IS A GREAT AND GLORIOUS DAY"
He never spale more. Thus his last
thoughts and his latest words were like
those Of his whole life, thoughts and
words which eyinced soul replete with
love of country and interes. in her well
fare.

Prom the Esser Register of 7hsr sday, July s.
On Tuesday last closed the half CEN
fury since the patriots and sages of this
country proclaimed IFS independence
and with its parting rays the spirit of the
elder ADAMS assembled to Heaven
That bold and energetic spirit which in
spired the councils Of America with the
determination to become independent
hasaascended ION high, and that elo-
quent tongue which urged its declaration
ON the fourth of July, 1916, on the
fourth of July, 1896, was palsied il
death. Thus has terminated, and glo
riously terminated, the virtuous and pa
triotic life of JOHN ADAMS-blesset
by his country,, honored by the world
and immortal as history. Amidst the
bosom Of his family, the patriarch Of the
revolution has closed his immortal ca
reer, viewing as the patriarch Of old
before his closing eyes, the expanding
glories of his country, the fruits of his
exertions, and the blessings purchased
by him for posterity. The ideas which
occupy our minds in contemplating his
character and the period allotted by
heaven for gathering him TO his fathers
ill our hearts with such feelings as dis
ables us from searching in books for the
record of the many memorable incidents
