WEDNESDAY MORNING, MARCH 4. 1920.

The 4h .harch.-The administration of John
Quincy Adams, terminated last night at midnight,
and that OF General Jackson begins this day. Let
the parasites of fortune, and the gnobe herd whose
highest ambition 1T is to keep with the crowd turn
this day with the Turk and pay their alteration TO
the rising sun.
The political sun Of Mr.. Adams has SET and in all
probability forever. 1t is possible now to speak of
the man, as those who have attentvely considered
him, believe him to be, without mourning the censure
of ministerng incense to his vanity or fattery TO his
pride, for the attainment of interested views. In
this split, the spirit of truth as far as we know it. we
mean to speak of him, and with all sincerity we ex-
press the opinion that the o. States have never had
in any department, officer more upright and con-
scentious, that labored so indeatigaby, day and
night to discharge satisfactorily the duties his station
required Of hm.-We know nohigher eulorium that
can be passed upon any man. Other men NAV be
more d5le--but for that they are indebted TO the
gver Of all things. Other men may have better
sense, land our ncghbor the Enquirer has discovered
that Mr.. Adams has very little of 6s) but for that
too they indebted to the dispenser ofevery good
and perfect gift. But what or better can be
said in favor of man, than that he does his best in
every situat in which fate places him. and that to
the discharge Of his duty, he sacrifices the ease and
comforts of life, and the acquisitions of health itself
Mr.. Adams wasted form attests the industry with
which he has performed his public duties.
Whether he has deserved the hard measure which
his enemies have assigned him, or the insulting tri-
umph in which they indulge over his ial-whether in
fact, the public business in all its departments and
ramifcations so successfully and vigorously
executed by any administration as by his--whether
his expulsion from the Presidency was tho result Of
his malcondt ct in it, the consequence of the am
bilious aspirations Of others who from fortunate COM
bnation of circumstances, were enabled 70 make art
iul, nsdions and successful appeals the popular pas
sionsthese questions which it is the province OF
history to settle for the benefit of future times
We can only express the confident opinion that they
will be decided by that impartial tribunal in his favor
We cannot express better hope for orr country.
than that the close Of erc,,y administration, may
find its affairs prosperous It's institutions as tri-
umphant, and the happiness and liberty ofthc people
as solid and real they let'ut the close this
while at the time, we believe events are alrca
dy IN train, which will cause his frmness assiduty
and experience to be missed, and the repen'ant re-
grets of many of his patriotic but mistaken persccu
tors, to reach him In his retirement.
