Mr.. ADAMs.-Potomac, the able correspon-
dent of the Baltimore Patriot, relates the fol-
lowing incident in the life of Mr.. Adams
How changed is now the Presidential office
from whatit was when administered by this
great man. The correspondent says: elm the
Presidential campaign of l824-5 a certain pub
lie officer employed his able pen against the
claims and qualifications of Mr.. Adams. After
the Inauguration of Mr.. Adams some opponent
of the officer gathered up the articles, which
he had Illuminated against Mr.. Adams, and took
them to Washington, where they Were submit
ted to the inspection Of the President.
''Some little time after this. Mr.. Adams met
Judge Mclean who was then Postmaster Gen
eral, and asked him what kind OF a public off
Ger the one referred 10 was? MIR. Mclean re-
piled that he was correct officer and an eff
cient one.
Well, WELL said Mr. Adams complacent-
ly, when yon see him, please tell him that h.
may indulge his pen in writing against me
as much as he pleases, SO that he continues
to do the duties of his station faithfully"
Most appropriate was the testimony of Mr..
Holmes that in the discharge of the high du-
ties of the Presidency, ''Hs crushed no heart
beneath the rude grasp Of prescription; he left
no heritage Of toidotos cries or orphans tears. .
and we'll has it been remarked upon this that
although beset BY circumstances and tempta-
tons which not one man amongst hundreds
would have resisted, he sternly, infexibly, he
roically refused to be, as President, the mere
agent of seekers after emoluments of office
He remembered that Washington had been
President before him, and that Washington
had never removed a capable officer for mere
difference Of opinion. He remembered thai
his father had been President before him. anc
had respected the freedom of thought and dis
cussion. He had been reared under The eye o
both, and from their lessons and their practice
he would not depart"

c. When peace is established between
this country and Mexico. no one can pretend
that there is any longer the slightest reason for
any forbearance in discussing the origin, pro-
gress, and consequences ofthe war. Mr. Polk
may have peace with Mexico, but he has no
power to declare an armistice or amnesty at
home. The signing OF the treaty of peace with
Mexico will be the signal for arraigning him
openly and formally on bill of Indictment
which has been in some sort suspended during
the war. We may then look into the inexpe-
diency and wantonness of the war, we NAV
sum up its millions of cost, its thousands Of
lives lost and broken constitutions, It's ne
reavemrnts and sorrows, its banrtul effects up
on morals, the imminent dangers incurred of
connecting the republic with that of a foreign
nation. without the imputation of moral trfa-
son-'aid and comfort TO the enemy" Mr.
Polk and his abettors must now stand forth and
render an account for 5l50000 600 spent 10
acquire territory which might have been pur-
chased for less than the sum now to be paid in
cash to Mexico. And To his account will BE-
added the other fearful items to which we have
alluded. The party in power will now meet
with fearful retribution, like that OF l840.-
The people will sweep them from power; and
may we not hope that they will keep in mind
the misdeeds OF their servants longer than four
years, and not soon again commit power in
to the hands of party so in com petent, so
unprincipled. and so wicked! These base and
selfish demagogues have been trusted often
enough. They have never held power but to
abuse it.and they never Will until there is a
radical change in the elements of the party
Whenever they come into power they rush
headiong into corruption and every sort of mai
administration, from which the country Is
Matched by putting honest and able men in
l. A a
soon lulls the people into security, and the dem
agogues come again into power. If we may
not hope that these mutations are at length
brought TO an end BY the fearful disgraces, dan
gers, and sacrifices TO which the nation has
been driven. we do at least hope that the mis-
deeds OF the present Administration will not
soon be forgotten or forgiven, and that we ma
at length anticipate longer breathing spell
and long interregnum of baseness, incapacity
corruption, folly, and wickedness.- LouisviIic

The Salem Register gives the following no.
tice of The habits of MIR. Adams, etc.
The habits of Mr. Adams Were pure, simple
and unostpntaiious even TO awkwardness. He
always arose before day, and when in health,
made his own fire. He used great exercise,
and was peculiarly fond of bathing and swim
ming. No one ever was more industrious, or
sacrificed less OF his time. He was one of the
most prolific writers of the age. ...5-
His journal, which he ke pit from early life,
and which embodes all his conversations with
distinguished men of his own and other coun-
tries, is, no doubt, the most valuable document
in being, and richer legacy to his children
than the ample fortune he leaves. This fortune
is not the result of a niggardly economy, (for
Mr. Adams always spent more than his official
income,) but of two successful speculations
and great rise in the value of his patrimonial
estate. Mr.. Adams leaves also copies OF every
letter he ever wrote, and among his volumin
Gus productions are most able eulogies on Mad
ison, Monroe and Lafayette. cdr -
Mr.. Adams leaves a widow, to whom he
was married in London in 17l9. She was the
daughter of Col. Joshua Johnson, of MARYLAND,
Judge of the Supreme Court of the United
States, and a signeref the Declaration of Indie
pendence. Mr.. Adams leaves, also, his young
eSt son, CnarleS r, VINO married daughter OF
Hon. Peter c. Brooks, of Boston, and who has
several children; and The widow of his eldest
son, John, (who is also the niece of Mr.. Adams
with one or two children. He owned and
occupied the mansion house of his father, in
Quincy. =
Of the class mates of Mr.. Adams. the follow
ing survive, viz: Judge Putnam, Rev. DIR. Ea.
ton, Hon. Leonard White-also Rev. AbieI
Abbot, Judge Cranch, Rev. Dr. Packark and one
or two others.

GEN ScoTT AND HIS ARMY-The Columbus
IS. c. Chronicle SAYS:

GEN ScoTT AND HIS ARMY.-The Columbus
IS. CO. Chronicle says:
As it regards the feeling of the army. one and
all, towards GIN. Scott, he says: '-Gen. Scott
is considered by the officers of The army to be
the great captain of the age. H has not only
their unbounded confidence, but he is in the
hearts of his soldiers. 1t is his habit to re-
crive the mutiated and careworn soldiers into
his presence, when officers of the army are de
MED; administering to their necessities not on
" by his influence but by his purse, helping
them to return to their homes. In short, he
has been their father as well as their general.
Not one who has ever served under him will
refuse to follow where he may lead
There seems to prevail an impression in the
United States. that divisions in the army have
been to some extent, the results of the arrests
of Gems. Pillow and Worth. So far from il
there never has been greater unanimity than at
present. The circumstance was not even a
nine days wonder. The army is perfect unit
in sentiment. It's discipline and harmony have
never been more complete.
The known justice of Gen. Scott would BE-
conviction 10 every officer in the army of the
military propFipty of a hi acts; and the arrest
Of any officer however high in rank. for any
known breach of military discipline would
cause no more surprise than that of any subal-
tern for like offence.
