In 1831, the suffrages, nearly unanimous, f hi -native Congressional district, remanded him! tack to the service, of the Commonwwealth, fleeting him to a seat in the House of Representatives. The venerable ex-president accepted the ap pointment, and has since filled! the' office for fourteen successive years not more, perhaps, from a fervent desire to serve the .republic, than from the fact, that his whole life, from the mer est boyhood, havingbeen passed before the AVorld, among stirring movements and events, it has be come to him, in a manner, th tnode of exist ence. : It - mitvry avolLKr rlrnMd jf.he.

He has practised this indeed, at all periods of his life, in the midst of the most im portant and engrossing occupations. . A striking illustration, among many others, may be taken from the period of his administration. Harra sed, as he was at that time, in addition to his usual Executive duties, with unremitting and violent opposition, distracted with various dis sensions at holme, as well as very difficult for eign relations Mr. Adams still found time to draw up, for the improvement of ! his son, then a student at law, the most elaborate abstracts of the chief Orations of Cicero, and the Provencal Letters of Pascal. With such diligence, joined to a mind discursive yet perpetually observant, it is not wonderful that he should have acquired so vast a store of various information. . The fields of knowledge "which his intellect has trav- ersed, and to which his memory can recur ancient literature,, in hiotoryj'and especially in tne many lorms oi pniiospny - are immense. He has, above all,' the "most wide and thorough acquaintance with the social and political prog ress of the human race.
