Ifso. the best security for pos.hOmous fame is | speedy oblivion. s@ .sl. h.s, Mr. Tracy, it is well known, was a man of unusual tact and address, in all sitna- tions, and most acute jadge ofthe ckayI 0cters ofmen. Few persons hetterunderl stood, or more intuilively perceived, not only the marked peculiarities, but the ni- cor and less obvious features of the human character. He was also early and well acquainted with Mr. A. aud was not,igno- rant of the strength, and obdMraCy of his personal Fesentments and antipathiesy He knew, moreover, wl,at many perhaps, tt that time did notes.-the terms, on which M. l A. stood with Gen. Hamilton. The brill. liant and exalted character of that great man had long been, to the house of Brain tree, an object of deep jealousy, and resent ment. Under him" MT. A. had felt his "genius rebuked $" and of all mankind (not excepting even MT. Ames,or Col. Picker ing hiMself) Gen. Fl. was to Mr. A. prob ably the most odious.

King James himself and his Parliament. 'It is n little singular, also, that Mr.. IT. should have made Mr. A. the depositary of so important u state secret, while his l lips were absolutely sealed, upon the sub- ject, to lis l6ng-iried, best known, and most intimate, political friends and asso- ciates, whose accession to the project. if any such existed, must certainly have been contemplated by him. The survivors of tho Connecticut delegation, who were in Congress with MT. Tracy Ut the period in question, were not only his political. but his personal, friends. Eie and they wore uniformly advocates of one and tho sanne political system. With most ofthem from, his youth, and with all of lhem, long be- fore the year 1904, he was in habits of the ireest, and most confidential communities ton, on all subjects, connected with public affairs. And that he should, so guardedly have concealed this project from alt those gentlemen us not to give the slightest inc timation oft to any one of them, while he divulged it, so unreservedN, 10 Mr. John, Quincy Adams, of Massachusetts, must be little puzzlng to ordinary underssapd- ings.
