John Quincy ADAMS from his first entrance In
to political life, commanded the respect, ami excl
ted the attention of all parties, by the display OF
abilities which only found IN the ablest states
man. Not "a few, at an early day, saw the germs OF
talents which ould IN time elevate him to the high
est Office in his country's gift. Hear WAsHlNeToN,
JEFFERSON. MADISON, and MONROE, speak OF his
qualifications What higher authorities could we
ask9


WASHINGTON, speaking of Mr.. ADAMS in his ear
| ly DAYS, when Minister to foreign Court. de-
cared it as his opinion that he would become one OF
our most vatuabie public characters. JEFFERSON
spake of him as an able, honest, and learned man,
and one who would make a sale Chief Magistrate tor
the Union. MADISON had high opinion OF his d-
plonatic skill, and in this line believed he had NO
superior. MONROE praised him an able assistant
in his administration, and said whatever success 1t
had obtained from the People, was greatly to be at
tributed to Mr. ApAMs's counsels.


Not only did these men speak in this manner OF
MIR. ADAMS, but he enjoyed their confidence, and
was employed in distngul shed public capacity by
each. Now call JACKSON forth, and where will you


find four men like these who will impartlay give tes
timony of his possessing qualifications that would
adorn the Presidential chairf Search through the
four and twenty States, and such testimony can nt
where be discovered.


Hear General Jackson speak, in 1917, of the
qualifications of Mr.. ADAMS, to Mr.. Monroe, Whel
lie was appointed by the latter Secretary OF State
I'.You have made (,ays the General,) the BES
|CHOlCE THAT COULD BE MADE. In tn
hour Of difficulty he will be found an able helpnmt
|and am convinced his appointment will give gen
era satisfaction Who, reading the abnve test
monies, can doubt Mr.. ApAMs's qualifications t
ably fill the Presidential chair? Certainly no on
