| Hon. JoHN QUIScY ADAMs-A Pen and Ink Sketch
Owing to the indsposition of Mr.. Albums during his
short stay in Columbia, be compelled to remain
so completely retired from public view that pen and
ink sketch of his personal appearance may not be un
acceptable to our readers.
His appearance at the first sight is not prepossessng.
He is short and square shouldered tight pana-
looms and a short coat his hair is brown and very
short, and his complexion is forid. He wears no
beard whiskers nor moustache and the constant use
of eyeglasses gives him the appearance of atfectaon.
His Dress. however, is remarkably clean and neat,
without the least ostenation and his manner is that
of welbred gentleman. A single opportunity of
hearing him in public or fifteen minutes eonver-
saon on matters of public interest is enough to
vince any one that he is not only well informed man
and deep thinker, but clear headed and COOL with
complete command himself, and ready appre-
citation of the situation, however unexpected.

To OLD LINE WHIGs.-Goorgo D. Prentice
says: If there be a solitary human being
within our reach, who, by some whimsical
hook or crook of heart or BRAIN. has got on
the wrong side of the line of battle. particular
ly if he has been an old Wing, or Union man,
and considers it sort of duty to go against
the Democrats-we entreat him to pause and
reflect upon what he is about to do. Why
should he go with the Radicals; and what
reason can he offer for not going with the
Democrats? All the issues over which we
used to fight are dead. The Democratic party
itself is reorganized after division which
completely destroyed and recreated it. In
1860 it fought within itself as resolutely as
we ever fought against it. Times have chan
ged men have changed issues have changed.
Clay, if he were living now, would be Dem
ocrat. Webster could be nothing else All
the reputable old line Wings that remain are
Democrats, from Fillmore to John Bell and
God knows if these can afford it, there is no
one of their followers in the by-gone times
who has any excuse to hold back.

All the advices received here recently from

reconstructed regions are dwindling away
rvpidly, and detection has reached their very
stronghold with such alarming results that
the carpet-bag heroes see nothing but ruin
