MIR. JOHN QUINCY ADAMS SPEECH IN
COLUMBIA S. c., j ohm Quincy Adams on Mon.
day night last, addressed an immense meeting
of the South Carolina Democracy in Columbia.
His speech was long and elaborate, breath
ing the same moderate and conclllatory spirit
as his recent letter.
Referring to the pending political struggle,
he said: -.
the North have very important bearing upon
your fate, lat all events, just now,) and de-
mand careful meditation. Most Of you, doubt
less, regard the success of the Democratic party
as essential to your release from your present
situation but it is my duty to mind you that
men in your position have no right to be blgot-
ed or partisan.
'Yo on must, of course, feel deep interest IN
the success of those who eSpouse your cause,
aud you may properly exert all legitimate IN
huence to promote their success but you ought
not to shut the door to aid from any sou rec. L
have already deprecated unreasonable and IN
distinguishing hostility to the Republican
party [ would now warn you against al abso-
lutte and exclusive devotion to any party
IF the Democracy succeed in electlng their
candidates you will be subjected to tenn agitation
as trying as the demand upon your suttrance
may prove in case General Grant is chosen
President. Hasty, ill-considered, passionate,
or violent action, in the event Of Democratic
success, would be almost sure in the end to
turn to your discontinue, and render your last
estate worse than the first; and yet it will re-
quire good deal of self-command to control
the reaction from this depression. But the
country, in that event, will be so severely divi-
ded and so greatly excited that small thing
may induce terrible catastrophe.
"On the other hand, in case Of General
Grantss election, you will be called on to exer
else awhile longer your patience and torbear-
ance. am sure it will be rewarded IN the end.
don't believe that Gen. Grant is your enemy.
I feel sure he means kindly towards you, and
will do justice and show mercy in his course
towards you.
"a large mass Of Republicans will help you,
if you will do your best to help yourselves. A
great majority Of all the North only want to be
sure it is safe to take you cordially by the
hand once more.
"Bide, then your time. In either event
possess your souls in patience Call to your aid
that grandest Of all human qualitles-selt-con-
all will yet be well.
