The news of the decease of the venerable Ex-
Presidents, Adams and Jefferson, reached this city
few days since, and you can hardly conceive of
the effect which this intelligence produced in the
minds OF our countrymen, and of the friends of

Oh the day spoke OF 1t IN the language of grief and
have teemed with eulogiums upon the virtues, tai

liberty and the rights of man. The circumstances

almost miraculous coincidence of their deaths, say
