JoHN Q. ADAMs.--This .enerable man.
who has justly been termed the ''old man
eloquent" although his course in all res.
poets, does not meet our appreciation, is
likely to live down his enemies and calum
majors, as we lind that the very men, and
the very party, who usder Gen. Jacks
:or more than twenty years. rnaGe it their
business TO yill:iy him and his course, are
now his warmesl admirers. A few days
since, Mr.. Adams made another eloquent
address on the subject oi Oregon, and in the
midst of his speech was cut off by the one
hour rule, but Charles j. Ingersoll, one OF
his former AMI bitter esemies. moved 10
suspend he rule by unanimous consent, in
order to let him proceed.
A democratic correspondent Of the Ohio
Statesman, the leading democratic paper
in Ohio, thus speaks OF him:
Il am told that The venerable John Quin-
cy Adams exhibited such intensity of feel
inr. when the Clerk came 10 that passage
in Mr.. Buchanan's letter wherein he de-
clines the proposition of the British Plcni.
po,en,iary TO subject our claims to arbi.
fration. that many of his personal friends
instinctively let 'heir seats ana Clustered
around him from every part of the House.
II is said that Mr.. Adams frame actually
shook with excitement. as if he had been
experiencing, at that moment, those tre-
mendous emotions when every minute lin
gers out an eternity either of sufferin. or of
bliss. His whole codntenance was irrad.
lated with Joy; his-lips quivered as if strug-
Cling TO give uIterance to some burning
thought: his eve glisIened like that of the
poet when the torch of heavenly inspira.
lion had been lighted up in its socket; his
very look. gesture, attitude. betokened the
approach Of crisis which conjures up as
sociations that forcibly recalled to mind The
last moments of the famous Earl of Chatham
in the English Horse of Lords. Happily.
however, Mr.. Adams nerves, although
feeble and unsirung are not easily snapped
asunder even By extraordinary excitement.
His life has been passed amid too many
trying and perpIexins scenes, TO be sens-
bly affected even by an electric shock like
this. Long may he live 10 enjoy the proud
position 10 which his fearless advocacy of
American rights has elevated him.

THE BLIND.

We copy from the Frankfort (Ky.) Common
wealth the following notice OF one of Mr.. Patterns
exhibitions before the General Assembly Of Ken
lucky:
THE BIISn.-Several pupils from the Kentucky
Institute for the Education of the Blind, under the
charge OF Mr. Pat,en, their preceptor. were intro
duced into the House Of Representatives Yesterday
afternoon. They made the most gratifying exhi-
btions OF their proficiency in various branches Of
Notwithstanding, writing, grauimer, algebra,
geometry. geography. music, vocal and nstru-
mental, Latin composition, defamation, &c, &c
They were exhibitions that conclusivelv demon
strated that the Blind susceptible Of enjoyments
and capable Of performances, when properly in
structed, which at first thought, most men would
doubt. But under slSillful training their other fa-
cutes, though that Of vision IS clouced in eternal
night, are made effective as those ofihcir more
favored fellow beings blessed with the privilege of
gazing with rapture upon the bright stars. and the
blue sky, and the green fields, and the b-auteous
foweis. This important fact being satisfactorily
demonstrated, the ndico tons of duty cannot pos
sibly be mistaken by any benevolent and reflect
ing mind. II is the irremissibe duty Of those who
have witnessed the demonstration, to pour sun
shine upon the minds and to shed the light Of hea-
ven upon the hearts of thosF our feow-beings,
deprived of the beams of day. But we feel that it
would be in bad taste to use word Of persuasion
on such subject, to an enlightened, benevolent,
and christian people. The sightless eyebslls Of
those pupils, we are sure, pleaded the Of the
education of the blind, with an irresistible elo-
quence and force Of appeal to which language
could add the least power. Indeed, OF the
exhibitions inexpressiby tender and touch
ing that no heart was unmoved and no eve unbe-
dewed
The performances ON the occasion reflected the
very highest honor upon the preccptors Of the In
stitute. They perfectly proved that they knew
their high duty, that they knew how to execute
it, and that it had been faithfully executed: and
we are certain that every one felt grateful thai;
the heavenly mission had been entrusted to such
hands.
