To plant the seeds of patriotism and virtue by holding up theif bright: examples as public benefactors for the imitation of others. Under - governments where the will of one alone. stands for law the duty of passive, obedience to his mandate whe ther directed to the benefit or the devas tation of the world," is generally: the sole inotit e to action : the good or the evil of .the design, or the consequences likely to flow from it, enter not into the considera tion of the servant; he looks to title, a pension or a monument to re waid his success . - -: "' ' ' .' " -;; 7 But under a Republican Government, where no master comiviands and no slave obeys, the citizen " decides v for bimsel f -be acts for his -country a volunteer r in her sacred cause. It his motive be pure, and - iiisr service beneficial, he has a just claim to the rich reward oil hisV country's gratitude : The reward of honest famej which shall brighten with years,' and be extinguished but with the existance of the nation hich gave it birth. To perform this sacred duty of rendering justice, of commemorating the life, the virtues and the services, and of consecrating the fame of our venerable fellow-citizen, -John Adams, whom it has pleased. the Divine Disposer of events to remove from this world, we have this day assembled. It was not the lot of him, v wha addres ses you, to have been born a painter or a oet he 'will not, therefore, presume, by any aid of the - pencil, to - bestow the .charms of beauty and graced to cover de- ormjjy ? nor br any tretch;oi maagioa- bUation and a rrame,v"byasciing Adams abilities or virtues tie pid not pos sess. -To say of -Mr.! Adams that he was one of the founders of our Independence --tbat he was. the- friend of Washington and the disciple 6 who leaned upon his bo som' that he was the coTnpatrioi and as jsociate of Jefferson, and one of the sign ers of - the Declaration Of Independence, would be to pronounce . the highest eulo- gium which an American can conceive.; jici juauvc iu iuc jruu uaic iiiijo9eu ott inei requires an examination into his history, a retrospection of" the brightest eras of our Country :- it shall be per formed at least with fidelity, and under the cheering hope that your recollections i 1 of the virtues and services of - one of the ! 1 first . of; patriots, sages, and statesmeu, may be revived," that a just feeling of re- " verence for his memory may be awaken f d, and a generous ardor, to emulate.hisj virtue'may be enkindled' But withra1 deep regret - that immortality of -lame, however merited, is not in the power o! man to bejtow ; the truth, however mor ' til'ying, must be admitted ly all that When fame' loud tramp has bio wo itsprou -dest tjlast, :" r'-l ; Though long the sound the echo ileeps at last V rAnd Glory, like the Fhoanix 'midst her fires j xhales her,, odours, blazes and expires." i.
