No. III. MAYsyiLLE, Ky. Nov. y. lSas


This morning, at an early hour, Mr.. ADAMS
arrived at this place, amid bon. fires and the
of cannon. The occasion has been one of the
livellcst interest. All classes have joned, with
the utmost enthusiasm, IN manifestations OF re-
spect 10 the venerable patriot. Immediately
after breakfast Mr.. ADAMS repaired to the Pres
byterian Church, followed by a numerous pro-
cession of the citizens Of this place and the sur
rounding country notwithstanding the rather
unreasonable hour, the building was filled to
overtlowing with anxious auditors, large pro
portion of whom were ladies. Here he was ad-
dressed, on behalf of the citizens OF Maysvllle by
Gen. COLLINS in a brief but eloquent Speech, the
topics of which were chosen with singular felicity,
and during the delivery of which the speaker was
repeatedly interrupted with spontaneous bursts OF
applause. When Mr.. ADAMS rose to reply, the
multitude was hushed to the profoundest silence
and attention. No language of mine can convey
any adequate idea of that reply. There was no
study no effort none OF the hacknied arts ospeech-
making but the effect upon the audience was sol
emn and thrilling beyond description. When the
orator came to speak of his official connection
with Mr. CLAY; when he touched upon his VIM
dicaton of the character of that lluStrlous man
at the close OF his Administration, IN his letter
to committee of the citizens of New Jersey
when he invoked the name of his God, before
whose Judgment seat he expected soon to appear
in once more attesting the innocence of Mr.. Clay
from the imputations which his enemies had
sought to cast upon him, the heart OF every one
present appeared to be touched, and after a few
moments of reverentia silence. the entire assem-
blage burst forth in the warmest demonstrations
Of satisfaction.


His speech being concluded a large number of
ladies and gentlemen exchanged sautations with
Mr.. Adams, after which he was conducted to the
boat and placed in the hands of the committee OF
the citizens of Portsmouth, who had come down
to this place 10 receive him. AS the gallant steam
er Ben Franklin rounded out into the stream, Mr..
Adams made his appearance again upon the hurrl-
cane deck, and was again saluted with the
thunder Of cannon and three hearty cheers from
those with whom he had Just parted.


Thus terminated a ceremonial which time can
never etface from the remembrance Of those who
had the good fortune to participate IN it.
What a source of qualification and pride must
such scenes as that which he has Just witnessed,
be the venerable Patriot, Statesman and Sage.
The envenomed tongue Of calumny once so busy
in the work of detraction ls hushed and men Of
every name and creed vie with each other in do
ing him reverence. With no storm or cloud TO
darken his horizon, his life may be likened to the
! serene glory OF the setting sun. Serus in cPlum
redeat !,Z In haste. AMERICus.
