observe than Copyright has been taken
out By the publishers OF this eulogy, nut It
can only be for.the purpose of preventing
its specification entire by Others for pecu-
mary gain--we therefore take the liberty
TO- extract one or two passages as fore
taste, which cannot but give the reader al
sharp appetite for the whole OF the rich
repas'. We have heard that nothing could
stirpass the effect produced by the delive-
ry of tho passages quoted-but supposed,
as they must have rec6ived much force
from Mr. IS impressive style of orato-
~, that they might not appear to SO much
advantage imprint. We however think
we may challenge the production of any
Thing from the orators Of the present age
to surpass these quotations
ss The eloqnence of Mr.. Adams resem-
bled his general character, and formed in
deed, a part of it. 1t was bold, manly,
and energetic; and such the crisis reqnl-
red. When public bodies are to DC adj
dressed on momentous occasions Vhen
great interests are at stake, ana strong pas
sions excited, nothing IS valuable IN speech,l
farther than it's connected with high in
telleetnal and moral endowmonts. Ciear-
ness, force, and earnestness are me quail-
ties which produce convection: rue eio-
