illogriiphy of John Quincy Adam&
John - Quincy Adams was born at Braintree, in
Massachusetts, in that part of the town since incor
porated by the name of Quincy„ on Saturday, July
'llth, 1767,-and was baptised the next day in the
Congressional Church of the first Parish of Brain.
tree. He was named John Quincy, in consequence
of the, interesting circumstance that his maternal
Treat -grandfather of that name, who was-the owner
of Mount Wollaston, and a leading civil and mili
tary character of his time; in honor of whom the
lawn of Quincy received its name, was actually
dying at the hour of his bittla, In the . eleventh
tear of his' age he accompadled his 'father to
France, who was sent by Congress, as• joint com
missioner, with Benjamin Franklin and ArthOr Lee,
to the Court Of Versailles. They sailed from Bos
ton in Feb., 1778, and arlived at Bordeaux early, in
April ,While in Francelte was put to -v ectiool and
instructed in the language of the country, as well as
in Latin. After about eighteen months they return
ed to Ainerica in the French frigate La Sensible,
aftcompany with the Chevalier de La Luzerne, who
came out as Minister of France to the United States.
They arrived in Boston on the' first of August 1779.
In November of the same year, his father was
amain • despatched to Europe, for the discharge of
the diplomatic services which he rendered to the
cause of America with suah memorable ability and
success. He took his son out with lam. It seem
ed• to be the determination of that great patriot, not
only to do and to dare every thing himself for his
struggling country, but to keep his son continually
at his side; so that, by sharing his perils and his
toils, he might become imbued with his own ex
alted '
enthusiasm in the cause of liberty, and be
prepared to promote and vindicate it with all the
energies of his genius and all.the sensibility of his
soul..
While the younger Adami was receiving the jai.
pressions made upon him by a participation iu the
patriotic adventures and eKertions of his father, and
imbibing the wisdom and intrepid energy of spirit
for which the latter was so distinguished, the dame
effect was heightened and deepened by the incul:
cations and exhortations to every' public 'and pri
vate virtue fontained in the letters of his mother.
The opportunities and privileges of an education
under such auspices' were not thrown' away upon
as the incidents%f his subsequent career most
'amply prove.
In gping to Europe thissecond time, he embark
ed with his father at Boston, in - the. same Preach
frigate, La Sensible, bound to Brest; but as the
ship sprun,g aleck in a gale of wind, it Was neces•
' racy to make th'e first port they could, which was
. Ferrol, in Spain. They travelled from that place to
Paris by land, and arrived there in January, 1780.
The bon was immediately put to schobl. In July
of that year, Mr. Adams removed to Holland.--
There his sou was first placed in the public city
school at Arneterdatp, and afterwlirds in the Usti
-virsiy at Leyden. In July; 1781, Mr. Erancis Da
na, who had accompanied John Adams as secreta
ry of the embassy with which he was charged, re
ceived the commission of Minister Plenipotentaiy
,to the Empress of Russia, and took . John Qnincy
.Adains.„-then foiirteen years of age, with him as his
_ private secretary.. Here the younger Adams - re=
•inained untiLOctober, 1782, when he left Mr. Dana
.at St. Peteraburgh, and returhed through Sweden,
Denmark, Hamburg, and Bremen, to Holland.—
Dpon this jourrey he employed the whole winter,
passing considerable time, •by the way, in Stock
' holm, Copenhagen, and Hamburg. He reached
the Hague in April, 1783, and continued several
months in Holland, until his father took him to Pi
t hs, where he was at the signing of the treaty of
peace, which took place in September of that
year; and from thatlune to May, 1785, he was for
the most part With hies ather in England, Holland,
.and Fratice.
1 At his own soliginiion, his father perrsulted him,
t hen eighteen years of age, to retum to "his native
entry. Soon after ruching America, he entered
Harvard University, at an advanced standing, and
graduated - with * distinguished honpr as bachelor of
arta, in 1787. He 'wen entered 'AM office of the
celebrated Theophilus Parlous, at Newburyport, af
terwards Chief Justice of Massachusetts: and after
the usual term. of three years passed_ in the study
of the law, he entered the profession and istftdilialt

ing 'himself insidnously in his office, extending his
acquaintance with the great principles of law, and
also taking part in the public qnestions whic.h then
occupied the attention of his countrymen. In the
summer of 1801, he published a series of margin
the Boston Centinel, under the signature of Pubß.
cola,contalning remarks upon, the first part of Paine's
Rights of Man. They suggested .doubts in refer-
once. to the favorable lane of the French mein-
tion, at a time when moat other men saw nothing
but gal in that awakening event. The issue pro
ved the sagacity of Public°la. These piens were
at first ascribed to hie father. They were reprint
ed in England. A .
In April, )793, on the first information of war be
tween Great Britian and France, an&before Wash
ington,had published his proclamation 'ofnentmli
ty, or it was kßown that such a step was content-
plated by him, Mr. Adams published in the Boston
Cantina! three articles, sig,ned Marcellas, the object
of which WBE to prove that the duty and interest of
the United States required them to remain neutral
in that war. -I
In these papers be diveloped the two principles
which have ever been the basis of his creed as a
statesman; union at home, and independence of
all entangling alliances with any foreign State what
ever.
In May, t 794, he was appointed by Washing.
ton, wi l thout any q intimation of such a design, either
to him or to his 'father, Minister resident to the Uni
ted Netherlands': It was supposed at the time that
he was selected in consequence of his having been
commended to the favorable notice of Washington,
as a suitable person for such an employment, by
Mr. Jefferson.
From 1794 to 1801 he was in Europe, employed
in a diplomatic business, and as a pbiic Minister,
in Holland, England and Prussia. Just as Presi
dent Wasbington was retiring from office, he ap
pointed him Minister Plenipotentiary to the Court
of Portugal. While on his way to Lisbon he re
ceived a new commission changing his destination
to Berlin. lie resided in Berlin from November,
1797, to April, 1801; and while there concluded a
highly important treaty of commerce with Prussia,
"thus accomftlishing de object of his mission. He
was then recalled, just before the close of his fa
ther's administration, and arrived at Philapelphia
in Sept., 1801.
e
In 1802 he was elected, from the Boston distriv,
a member of the Massachusetts Senate, and was
soon after appointed, by the Legislature of that
State, a Senator in Congress of the United States for
six years from the 4th of March, 1803. As his
views of public duty led hinito adopt a emote
which he had reason to believe was disagreeable
to the Legislature of the S ate he represented, ho
resigned' his walk March, 1808. In March, 1809,
President Madison nominated lam Envoy Extraor
dinary and Minister Plenipotentiarylo the Court o
Russia.
Some time previous to this Weever, in 1806, be
had been appointed Professor of lititetorio in Har
vard University; at Cambridge, in Massachusetts.
So extraordinary were his powers of elocution, so
fervid his imaginative faculties, and so rich his re
sources of literature and language, that his lect
ures, which were afterwards published in two oc
tavo volumes, were thronged in* only by the gar
dents of the University, but by large numbers of the
admirers of eloquence and genius, who came
from Boston and the neighboring Loins to listen to
them.
During his whole life, Mr. Adams has cultivated
the graces of elocution, and, in addition to his pco
found-and varied knowledge 6f the sciences, of the
ancient and modem languages, and of the litera
ture and history of all nations,la an eminent orator
as well as poet.
Mr. Adams signalised himself while in Russia
by an energetic, faithful and wise discharge of the
trust committed to him. He succeeded in making
duch an impression upon that Government, by his
reasonings and influence, that it has ever since
been actuated by a feeling of kindness towards tbe
United States, which has been of incalculable bene
fit to this country. It war thrones hispirastmmen
tallty that the Russian Coda was mdaced to take
active measures to promote a pacification be
tweed Erie 4- and the United States during the
last war.
When the proper time came, he was named at
the head of the five commissioners who were ap
pointed by President Madison to negotiate a treaty
of peace with Great Britian. This celebrate diplo
matic transaction took place atGhent, in Dec., 1814.
Mr. Adams then proceeded in conjunct= with
Henry Clay and Albert Gallatin, who had been as
sociated with him in concluding the treaty of place,
to negotiate a commotion of commerce with Great
Britian, and he was forthwith appointed by Presi
dent Madison, Minister Plenipotentiary at the Court
of - St. James
kis a moat remarkable coincidence that, u his
father wok theleading part in negotiating %namely
that terminated the revolutionary war with Great
Britian, and Bret discharged the office of American
Ambassador to London, so be wan at the head of
the cortuniesion that • negotiated the treaty
which broakin the second war with Great Brit=
to same, atid sustained the first mission to that
country ism} the Tetuan of peace. After having"-
copied that jast until the close of President Medi.
son's administration, he wasat length called home,
in 1817, to the lOW of the Department of State,
at-the forma4ion of the Cabinet of President James
Monroe. t i .

duty of his future biographer to present a full view
of the vast amount of labor which be expended in
he public service whiltincsneging the Department
of State.
In the Presidential election which,took place in
the fall of 1824, Mr. Adams was one of the candi
dates. No candidate received a majority of elm
-Mini votes. When, on the 9th of February, 1825,
the two houses of Congress met in convention, in
the hall of the House of Ilepreseutives, to open,
and count, and declare the electoral votes, it was -
Jound that Andrew Jackson bad 99 votes, John
Quincy Adams 84 votes, William A. Crawford 41
votes, and Henry Clay 37 vote. According to the
requirlments of the constitution, the Senate then
withdfew, and the House remained to ballot for a
President until a choice should be effected.
The whole number of States was twenty-four.—
The '#ntes of thirteen States were necessary for a
chice. At the first ballot it was found that Maine,
New H em phire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island,
Connecticnt, Vermont, New York, Maiyland,Ohio,
Kentucky, Illinois, Missouri and Louisiana, thir
teen States, had voted for "John Quincy Adams,
of Massachusetts," and he was accordingly elected
President of-the United Slates for four years from
the fourth of March, 1825
The time is approaching when justice will be
' done to the administration of John Quincy Adams.
The passions of that day are already' fast subsiding,
and the parties and combinations that arose under
the exciting influences of the times have long since
been dissolved sind scattered. The clear verdict ot
posterity may almost be heard, even now, in the
formal 'acknowledgment of its merits by the people
of thecountry, in all its various sections. In the
relations be sustained to the members of his cabi
net, in his communications to the two houses, and
in alibis proceedings, there is a uniform manifes
tation of wisdom, industry, moderation and devoted
patriotism.
The great effort of his administration was to ma
ture, into a permanent system, the application of
all the superfluous revenue of the Union to internal
improvement. This policy was first suggested in a
resolution introduced by him, and adopted by the
Senate of the United States, in 1809, and was fully
unfolded in his first message to Congress in 1825.
It will be the duly of the philosophical thiamin
of the country, half a century hence, to contras the
probable effects upon the general prosperity which
would have been produced by such a system of ad.
ministration, regularly and comprehensively carried
out, during the intermediate time, by the govern.
went of the Union, with what will then be seen to
be the results of the policy which has prevailed.
In retiring from the Presidency in 1829, Mr. Ad-
ama returned to his family mazusion in Quincy;
where he remained, in quiet retirement, until he
was called to public life, once more, by the peo
ple of the Congressional district to which he be
longed.
He took his seat in the Housed Representatives
of the United States in 1831. _
The Salem tMass.) Register gives the folkwin . g
notice of Mr. Adamaz.—
The habits of Mr. Adams were pure, simple, and
unostentatious even to awkwardness. He always
tree before day, and when in health, made hisown
fire. lie used great exercise, and was peculiarly
fond of bathing and swimming. No one ever
was rode industriona, or sacrificed less of his time.
He was one of the most prolific writers of the age.
His journal, which he kept from early life, and
which embodies all his cierversations with distin
guished men of his owirand other countries, is, no
doubt, the most valuable document in being, and a
richer legacy to his children thantne ample fortune
he leaves. This fortune is not the result of a nig
gardly economy, (for Mr. Adams always spent
more than his official income,),but of two success.
fal speculations, and a great.riae in value of his pa.
trimonial estates. Mr. Adamsleaves also copies of
every letter he ever wrote, and among his volumin
ous productions are most able eulogies on Madi
son, Monroe and Lafayette.
Mr. Adams leaves a widow, to whom. lie was
married in London, -in 1197. She was the daugh
ter of CoL Joshua Johnson, then consul at London,
and the mice of Gov. Johnson, of Maryland, a
Judge of the Supreme Court of the United States,
and a signer of the Declaration of Independence.

This conversation took place between Mrs. Hen

Toward the hug of S:eptember, Mm. Henshaw
was surprised at the receipt of a large sheet of fools
cap, in the form Of a letter from ter daughters,
She was just dressing for a sailing' party, ; as She
laid it aside until the next Morning, when with sun
dry exclamations of wonder she broke the seat—
But bow did her wonder increase tts she read
"My dear Father and Mother—s ' I have provided
myself with this mammoth sheet for the purpose,
and with the intention of writing yon a historY of
my six months in the country."
We'shall find some amusement - in this letter,"
said Mrs. Henshaw to her listening husband,
"Louise is disposed to be tacetions I See, by het
commencing.with "father and mother.'"
ts It was Saturday evening when I arrived at Mr.
Grey's, trod, as you kill remember,' a cold rain had
succeeded the fine weather. I leltchilled and mis-
erable, and the mug old faros house, pretended a
most comfortable appearance. As the coach drew
up, the house door opened, and a pleasant looting;
portly gentleman came out, saying to soreepersons
within, " No, no, I can bring her in my arms if ne
cessary." He looked rather surprised' as I sprung
from the vehicle ; he, however, condiicted me very
courteously into the parlor. But at the door I paus
ed. It was a. large apartment, destitute of centre
table,Viano, or lounge, but there was a bright wood
file burning cn the hearth, and the room contained
every thing necessary to comfito,:and some su
perfluities; for before the fire stood a velvet cush
ioned easy chair and foot-stool, and my good aunt
Grey,. with a large snowy Olow ip her lands, was,
waiting to accommodate her invalid niece. She'
looked curiously at me—l blushed for shame, while
my heart overflowed toward them for their kind
ness. Audi then the grotesqueness of my position
presented itself, and while I pressed a hand of each
I burst into a beam , fit of laughing, in which my
uncle joined merrily. • "Girls!' 'he cried, as soon
as he could speak—" come, your cousin needeno
posses or weak soups; come, and shake hands
with her." The three girls entered, and while
they made their compliments, he went on: " away
the big chair—all Louisa waits is enjoyment, air
and• exercise. In six weeks she will beable to run
a race with the fleetest bean in the township." He
then sat down beside me and' inquired for you both
with great kindness and solicitude, until we were
summoned to tea. Daring the evening I had
sure to observe my cousins. They ate namedl4-
Eu.no and Lucy. I was struck with their beau ,
ty, and the propriety of everything around them.

their botnemade dresses, white Copes and

we were all to sleep in a l arge chamber, with a
good fire in the small fire-place, and two large beds
standing in opposite corners, with wash-wands, and
all the et cetera. Mary, the eldest, sat dawn by
the table and opening a large bible began to read.
I followed the example of Ellen and Lucy, and sal
down and listened devoted*. When , the chapter
was read, she said " Let us pray." We all knelt
while she read devotedly tome 'beautiful evening
prayer. I never laid down so happy in my life be
ore. In the morning we aurae before the sun, and
when we came down we found aunt busy about
the breakfast; and the girls got the white pdils.to

though I wits yery much afraid of the cows, I went
into the yOd, acid soon grew so bold as to put my
hand on on the one Lucy was milking, and finally
resolved to do as they did.. I was very,awkward,
and we all laughed heartily,
.but they said I would
soon learn. And then the funny little calves with
their innocent faces and merry gambols—oh ! bow
I did lose them. After an excellent breakfast we
dressed for church Neither of -my cousins were
any way Mferior in fippearance to your elegant
Louisa.
