His fulfil ment of the duties of the Department ful ly justified the confidence I had reposed in him; and he recently left it only for one of the most important missions abroad, in which he is now ably and faithfully main taining the honor and interests of our country? His successor was a citizen' of New York, also highly distinguished by the honors of his native State, and of the U nion. One of the members of that Con gress which vindicated the traduced ho nor and spirit of the Nation, by the de claration of war in 1812. One of the warriors whose gallant achievements dur ing the war, have been recorded in the solemn Legislative thanks of his coun try ; since, entrusted with an arduous commission for the settlement of her boun daries : and, when invited by me to a share in the Councils of the Union, a mem ber of the Legislature of New-York. His services in the department of War have also been satisfactory and effective, and he leaves to his successor an official re putation which it will be praise enough to him to maintain unimpaired. the Attorney General was also an a- dopted citizen of Virginia, not lesss dis tinguished by the classical elegance of his taste in literature, than br his pro found learning in the laws, and bis com manding eloquence at the Bar The Bio grapher of Patrick Henry ; the painter ut manners and instructor of morals ; at an earlier period of his life, appointed and commissioned by my predecessor, I deem ed myself and the country fortunate, by his continuance in the same capacity du ring my term of service. Educated and inclining to a rigorous construction of the extent of constitutional power, his pro fessional advice has been the more readi ly confided in by me, as its tendencies al ways were rather; to the limitation, than to the enlargement of its exercise ; for, in the whole course of my administration, I have deemed it safer to abstain from the use of any questionable authority, than ro hazard the encroachment of power, by assuming, unnecessarily, the decision of disputed points. Such, fellow-citizens, have been the associates of my official duties in the conduct of my administration.

Washington. 1 Uh March, 1829. The New-York Herald, a paper whicli enioys the character of fairness and can dor, speaks in the following manner of the t itifAh nf Mr ArlamQ fa a committee of the State of New-Jersey : The friends of Mr. Adams will read th admiration, and with a feelinsr of re-assured pride, that Statesman so pure, so brilliant, and so e!o- quent, was the object ol tneir cnoice ana support in the late great Presidential con test We think too, rww that the contest ic nvpi. nrl h obiects of the successful party are accomplished, that not a few the fmnosers of Mr. Adams will read, least, with respect, if not with a convic tion of its truth, this masterly, glowing, and dignified defence of his administration. The decision of posterity, we confidently believe, will; be anticipated even by the generation which has refused to bestow upon Mr. Atlams their approbation by a re-election ; land a great, and signal judg ment will be speedily rendered in his fa vor. Justice cannot long be denied him. The acts of his administration, like the splendor of his talents cannot be eclipsed, and the patriotism, the virtue, the toils, and the perplexities, which have marked his government, will inevitably correct the prejudice and the misrepresentation which, unfortunately for our country, has for a period estranged the public mind. "The citizens of New-Jersey, of the counties of Middlesex and Essex, with cha racteristic public spirit and excellence of feeling, took the lead in offering to Mr. Adams the expression of their unabated confidence and their regrst for the loss of his services to his country. They also addressed letters of similar import to Mr. Southard and Mr. Clay. The occasion, was an appropriate one, and Mr. Adams has embraced it promptly for vindicating himself and the equally persecuted mem bers of his Cabinet. His testimony in their favor is the more valuable, as ' not one of them was taken from the circle of his private friends," aud we think it will be difficult to read the few eloquent para graphs, in which he writes their eulogy, without feeling that Mr. Adams has not only a judgment to distinguish talent, but a heart to appreciate those great virtues and qualities of soul, which must be ac corded to the persecuted individuals whom he has so ably defended. 5 The elevated and patriotic sentiment contained in the annexed paragraph, ex tracted from Mr. Adams's letter in reply to an address of his political friends in Steubenville, Ohio, form a striking con trast to the bitter spirit of persecution which follows that distinguished States man, even into his retirement We re commend it as a specimen of magnanimi ty, to those Editors, who, not satisfied with victory, appear determined to carry on a war of extermination against their opponents, as though their opposition to the ' powers that be' were still questi onable. " In the regret which you are pleased to express at the issue of the recent election, so far as it indicates your approbation of my public services, I'canuot but feel my self flattered. As a manifestation of the will of the people, to place another at the helm where I had been stationed, this e vent has my entire and perfect acquies cence knowing that whoever is placed there will have continual need of the can dor and indulgence of his country, I would ask it for him as I did for myself; and hoping that he will realize the privileges and the duties of his place, by a standard commensurate with the whole Union, I will trust that his exertions for the wel fare of the nation will be co-extensive with its territory, crowned with success equivalent to the sincerity of his designs, and followed by the gratitude of the pre sent age, and the benediction of after times." A Lucid interval. We are pleased to see (say the Editors of the the National In teligencer) in the following article publish ed, editorially, in the Richmond Enquirer, some symptoms of returning sanity : Offkt Seekers. A correspondent of the United States' Gazette of Philadelphia, writes from Vashington that, 'Itis stated on the best) authority, that the annoyance to which the President has been subjected by those who come to solicit for offices is extreme. These office-seekers are not merely importunate in preferring their claims, out press tnem in a manner which is the . re verse of courteous. They intrude uponhis private hours, , and pet forate the whofeW'the roomg'of his mansion to get a peep at hinr,r 5cc. t,W:kuw not what decree of truth there is- tinthU tate oietit; bat we would suggests plan tQ relieve ment, hand it with youraddresstoMrVattBureni if 4n the Treasury, see Mr. Ingham, -y JtbtVitant.

Every application that will be made shall be duly received and weigh ed. You need not put yourselt to, the trouble of cominjr to me for an answer. You will re ceive it from the officer, who has your papers." This course is so plain a one:; it wouid relieve himself from so much personal in convenience, from so much commitment ; from fro-roany expressions that might inad vertently betray the applicant in the san guine hopes of success, ,and into bitter dis appoint men ts---that we wonder it is not more generally adopted. It has the ad vantage, too, of allowing the President time to weigh well the applications, and of selecting proper places for proper candi dates. Archbishop Cheverus.A Review of the Life of Fenelon, in the last Christian Examiner, published at Boston, contains the following Eulogium (said to be from the inimitable pen of Dr. Channing) on the character of Archbishop Cheverus and the Catholic Religion : "We have said that we welcome the book under consideration, because it came from so pure and gifted a mind. We add, that we dp not-welcome it the less for coming, from a. Catholic. Perhaps we prize it the more ; for we wish that Pro testantism may grow wiser and more to lerant, and we know not a better teacher of these lessons than the character of Fe rfelon. Such a man is enough to place within the pale of our charity the whole body to which he belonged. His virtue is broad enough to shield his whole church from that unmeasured and undistinguish ed reprobation with which Protestant zeal has too otten assailed it Whoever re members that the Catholic communion numbers in its ranks more than one hun dred millions of souls, probably more than all other Cristian Churches put together, must shudder at the sentence of proscrip tion, which has sometimes been passed on this immense portion of human beings. It is time that greater justice were done to this ancient and wide spread commu nity. The Catholic Church has produced some of the greatest and best men that ever lived, and this is proof enough Of its possessing all the means of salvation. Who, that hears the tone of contempt, in which it issometimes named,, would sus pect that Charlemagne, Alfred, Dante, Raphael, Michael Angelo, Tasso, Bous set, Pascalt Des Cartas, were Catholics ? Some of the greatest names in arts and arms, on the throne , and in the pulpit, were worn by Catholics. To come down to our own times ; has not the metropolis of New-England witnessed a sublime ex ample of Christian virtue in a Catholic Bishop? Wrho,among our religious teach ers, wouid solicit a comparison between himself and the devoted Cheverus ? This good man, whose virtues and talents have" now raised him to high dignities in Church and State, who now wears in his own country the joint honors of an Archbishop and a Peer, lived in the midst ofus, de voting his days and nights, and his whole heart, to the service of a poor and unedu cated congregation " We saw him declining in a great de gree, the society of the cultivated and re fined, that he might be the friend of the ig norant and friendless ; leaving the circles of polished life, which he would have graced, for the meanest hovels ; bearing with a lather's sympathy the burdens and sorrows of his spiritual family ; charring himself alike with their spiritual and tem poral concerns; and never discovering, by the faintest indication that he felt his fine mind degraded by this seemingly humble office. This good man, bent on his rrands of mercy, was seen in our streets under the most burning sun of summer, and the fiercest storms of winter, as if armed against the elements by the power of charity. He has left us, but not to be forgotten He enjoys among us what to such a man must be clearer than fame. His name is cherished where the great of the world are unknown. .It is pronounced with blessings, with, grateful tears, with sighs for his return, in many an auoue oi sorrow anu want ; and how can we shut our hearts against this proof of the power of the Catholic 'Religion to form good and great men ?" ac .
