A. token
OF his editorial services To The American FaEy
AS IN New Orleans.
u November Ii, 1850. #3#8
As Mr.. Adams is absent from the city, we can
speak with the more freedom of this testimonial to
him, and can utter the more heartily our approval
Of If. We are sincerely Of opinion that such a
compliment was never better deserved by any
man than this by our late associate. To his quail
ties of head and heart-his soundness as politi-
clan, his vigor ais a writer, and his genial and
kindly demeanor as a gentleman in the private
walks of life-the Crescent is not little indebted
for its present wide popularity and prosperity.
Having been compelled by falling health, caused
in great measure by intense application, to dis
solve his connection with this paper, he has done
so, and upon terms satisfactory to him and to us
but we should feel recreant to the memory Of the
associations which bound US together through the
last four five years, if We allowed the present
opportunity to slip without thus saying few words
in approval Of the very handsome compliment with
which he has been honored. In this testimonial to
him, we cannot avoid feeling large share Of pride
and we take pride in saying so.
We trust that our late associate, with renewed
health, will live many years to look upon the
costly and beautiful present which has been ten
dered to him as a remembrancer of his connection
with the Crescent.
