speak out-and II he spoke, they hoped, as we have

application to Jackson, was in the face of day--his
answer was fearessly given, and has been publicly
announced. Look at the other picture. 1t is all
dark, and mysterious The whole negotiation is
secret-and to this day,th parties concerned have
affected to conceal it-Mr. Adams himself has ven
