correspondent Of the Boston Courier gives
me following notice of Mr., ADAMS fuIosy o"
Mr.. MoyaoE, which may prove Interesting uii-
iii public expectation is gratifed by the Perasa'
Of the Speech, which will be printed shortly:
The FIRST norton of the introductory remarks
We could not distinctly hear, but we understood
from what We could catch, that they were con-
G.sJ IN \ rspii notice Of some Of the most pro-
miuent event, in the history Of the world. The |
American Revolution was placed among the most
considerable events since the coming ut Christ. |
The speaker dweit at considerable length upon
the PRINCIPLES Of the Revolution, and IN vndlca- |
'iy7 of the characters OF the noble race OF men |
who ashieyed it, The idea that experimenting |
PrOyideuCe raised up the distinguished patriots |
AthOse tunes fnr the achievement Of its great |
ac, was noticed. The remark of Adam Smlth.
lharacteriling the leaders Of the Re, 0IutOn as !
"shopkeepers and attorneys" was refuted IN
strain of cutting sarcasm, and his project Of ap
pcasiar the master spirits by giving them a seat
in Parliament, was placed IN ridiculous light,
By fine allusiun 10 Carroll of Carrullton, com
pairing the glory of his name affixed to the Decla-
Iation Of Independence with that ol representing !
Old S,rum in the House of Commoas. Much, |
hOaeyer, a. we admired the polished Wit and keen
sarcasm OF the introductory remarks. we thought
them not exactly in unison with the general feel
Irs Of the audience, and better adapted 10 day
ofrejoicing than to one OF mour"iGg.
The Biographical Sketch of Mr.. Monroe was
neat, and presented IN very interesting manner
The young man of l9, leaving his books aud the
charms Of retirement for the active duties of
soldiers life, was described in bold relief The
services Of Mr. Monroe IN the early Congresses,
and IN the Legislature of his native state, were
prominently portrayed Great praise was given
ohi' diplomatic course, particularly in relation
10 the acquisition Of Louisiana. The prosperity
OF bl| administration when President was depict
''d N strong and glowing coIOrs. Upon this part
"a me services Of the deceased patriot we thought
Inc euiosy strained, and indicated too partial
regard Tor acts in which the speaker had largely
anticipated. Mr. Monroe's re'c upon the Cum
n''aod Road bill, and his Subsequent recommen-
ai'',a Ct survey OF the country by engineers for
aepeTPOse OF Internal improvement, were dwelt
'P2a at considerable length, and with great
enthusiasm.
Inc last portion of the performance was spirit
e. eloquent aud impressive, perhaps embeilish.
vi mare than wOaid be expected from a man of
NH''Fe As whole, there can lie little doubt
cat 'e eo'osy will afford great int,res, to any
i'ri"i, While CerhanS n will ha ,on.,.l,ro,i , 49,,
