Mi* AAftiua* Oration.
If we regard the amount of criticism
w hit'll has already heen bestowed upon
this production, we would refrain from a
topic which seems certain!) to be exhaust
ed To throw our remarks into die chan
nels produced by the efforts of others,
would avail little in forming an estimate
of the orator, or his oration.
It is because there is in the various cri
tiques, that we have seen, an appearance
of something more, or something less, than
nfair spirit of inquiry and comment, that
we venture to express our dissenting opin
ions,
It does not seem, in the first place, alto
|- ether fair to subject to the rules of criti
i ism what may be styled the carmen se
future of the American Uepublic, Periods
of rejoicing allow a latitude to the mind
us wi d us to the affections, and the satur
nalia ofmanners would indicate something
of a corresponding liberty to rhetoric All
that has heen required has been a sympa
thy of feeling and of emotion with the
great cause of celebration—a selection of
popular topics, and an adherence to the
rules of common speech as exemplified in
composition. The evauesence of the oc
casion is another security against severe
animadversion—it being cruel to stifle
that which pretends only to be epheme
ral. The publication of a 4th July address
being generally at the instance of others,
<>ud not the voluntary, gratuitous act of
the author, entitles ,t moreover to cour
tesy and forbearance.
To criticise such a performance savors
very much of that spirit which would re
quire the heart to exult by ride, and die
inuulb to smile with mathematical preci
sion. Under these impressions, the Editor
of the Courier cannot deem Mr. Adams’
(iration amenable to criticism, unless it
ehsll form an exception to a general rule.
The first thing that excites notice on
this occasion is the condescension and
disposition to please, manifested by Mr.
Adams, in accepting the appointment of
the c.tiz.nsof *• ashington. Conscious of
the high and responsible station which he
fiiis in lh*’ national government, and look
iug around upon those of his fellow-chi.
r.aiiß to whom this duty is generally con
fided, he may well have declined its ac
ceptance, auil alleged as a reason the ma
turity of liis years and the dignity of his
elation. He may well have remarked—
thes“ an- the rhetorical displays of inge
nious youth—the early specimens of tlu;
aspirants after fame. It was near thirty
y ears since he had before officiated, on a
similar occasion, at Boston ; and a Fourth
of July oration, like the process of invest
ing the young Homan with the toga,could
not veil happen more than once to one
individual. Mr. Adams acquiesced in the
wishes of his fellow ciliicns, with this ad
ditional courtesy, that having first agreed
to read the Declaration of Independence,
on Mr Wirt’s declining the oration, fie
consented to do both, at a very short no
tice Now, what does all this bespeak,
tut an extreme good will and patriotic al
acrity in this distinguished man, which
should endear him to liis countrymen, and
attract towards him their grateful applaus

by an opportunity of this kind. It elicits
the obscure —it brings forward the retir
ing—it displays the graces of the person,
the beauties of the heart, and the hidden
elements of the mind—throwing them in
to tlie genial light, where they may grow
Rid flourish. Mr. Adams could have n >

tion? What could a little occasional pam
phlet add to the Celebrity of the Quinctili
an of New-England ? Not that, on the other
hand, he was not in danger of losing by
the censures and sarcasms of those, whose
ambition found a ready ally in their rhet
oric—and who made war upon the orator
that they might annoj the statesman —and
could not hear music on his tongue while

suit the purposes of those to call an ora
tion a prize essay for the Presidency, and
magnify the few spots on a strong and
beautiful structure.
Discovering, as no man can fail to do, a
philosophical spirit, cn arder of patriotic
feeling, a just and elevated sense of the
past achievements and future prospects of
his country, and an honest sympathy iu
her welfare, we praise with cheerfulness
these acknowledged qualities in Mr. A

tions, and the ardor of his disposition,
may have led to certain remarks and re
flections which the philantropist may re
gret, and the critic may expunge—but tin
qualified praise cannot be denied to the
following
EXTRACTS.
Fellow-citizens, I am speaking of the
days long past. Ever failliful to the sen

The confl ctfor Independence is now it
self but a record of history. The resent
ments <vT that age may he buried in obli
vion. The stoutest hearts which then
supported the tug of war are cold under
the clod of the valley. My purpose is to
rekindle no angry passion from its embers:
—hut this annual solemn perusal of the
instrument which proclaimed to the world
the causes of your existence as a nation*
Is not without its just and useful purpose.
It is not by the yearly reiteration of the
w r mgs endured by your fathers, to evoke
from the sepulchre of Time the shades of
departed Tyranny ; it is not to draw from
their dread abode the frailties of an tin
fortunate monarch who now sleeps with
his fathers, and the sufferings of whoso
latter days may have atoned at the bar of
Divine Mercy for the sins which the ac
cusing Angel will read from this scroll.'
to liis charge; it is not to exult in the
great moral triumph by m hich the su
preme Governor of the world crowned the
cause of your country with success. No ;
the purpose for which you listen with re
newed ami never languishing delight to
the reading of this paper is of a purer
and more exalted cast It is sullied with
no vindictive recollection. It is degraded
by no rankling resentment. It is inflated
with no vain and idle exultation ofvicto
ry. The Declaration of Independence, in
its primary purport, was merely an occa
sional slate paper. It was a solemn expo
sltion to the world, of the causes which
had compelled the people of a small por
tion of the British Empire to cast oft'the
allegiance, and renounce the protection
of the British King; and to dissolve their
!ocial connexion with the British people,
n the annals of the human race, the sepa
ration of one people into two is an event
of no uncommon occurrence. The suc
cessful resistance of a people against op
pression, to the downfall of the tyrant,
tyranny itself, is the lesson of many an
age, and of almost every clime. It lives
in the venerable records of Holy Writ
1 1 beams in the brightest pages of profane
history. The names of I’liaroah and Mo
scs, of Tarquin and Junius Brutus, of’Geis
ler and Tell, of Christiern and Gustavns
Vassa, of Philip of Austria, and William of
Orange, stand in long array through the
vista of time, like the Spirit of Evil and
the Spirit of Good, in embattled opposi
tion to each other, from the mouldering
ages of antiquity to the recent memory of
our fathers, and from the burning plains
of Palestine to the polar frost of Scandi
navia.

Nor i»it yet that the justice of your cause
was vindicated by the Cod of Hatties;
that in a conflict of seven years, the his
tory of the war by which you maintained
that Declarrtion, became the history of
the civilized world; that the unanimous
voice of enlightened Europe, and the
the verdict of an after age, have sanc
tioned your assumption of sovereign pow
er ; and'that the name of your Washing
ton is enrolled upon the records of time,
first in the glorious line of heroic virtue.
It is not that the monarch himself who
had been your oppressor, was compelled
to recognise you as a sovereign and in
dependent people, and that the nation,
whose fcolings of fraternity for you had
slumbered in the lap of pride, awa
f Item d in the arms of humiliation to your

The primary purpose of this Declara

of the causes of our revolution, is
“with the years beyond the flood ” It is
of no more interest to us than the chastity
ofl-ucretia, or the apple on the head of

years have revolved since the struggle f m
independence was closed j another gen

In thus addressing the public, may
1 be permitted to hope that in read
ing the melancholy recital, the fol
• lowing fact may be engraven on eve
ry mind, that in the course of strict
justice none of us would find salva
tion. That mercy is as the gentle
dew that falls from Heaven on the
parched earth. That it becomes the
crowned monarch better than his
throne, and that my candor may he
the test of my sensibility of crime
and the sincerity of my repentance.
Since my natne has become so noto
rious in the public view, and the re
ality of my crime such as to lea'e me
no ground on which to plead justifi
cation or even the disposition to do
so. I feel an irresistahle propensity
to make a few public remarks upon
the unhappy subject of my depravi
ty j and unreservedly to confess my
abuse of the confidence of a tender,
kind and affectionate husband 1
trust that the readers of this public
communication have already antici
pated the fact: their attention is once
more solicited to the melancholy cir
cumstances which paved the way to
the catastrophe in which Joseph Me
Bride was one of the suffering par
ties. One of the two victims of base
ness ; of unpuralelled ingratitude and
of absurd confidence. Would to hea
ven that my much injured husband
had not been prostrated in the migh
ty ruin -but he has a conscience void
of offence. I will no longer delay the
plain and unvarnished statement Os
my errors ; nor will I spare him who
left no scheme of seduction untried
to accomplish my ruin ; to prostrate
the edifice of feynale virtue, and to
extinguish in my breast every spark
of fidelity Joseph Mcßride having
been a resident of our house nearly
twelve months, and very often using
many tender solicitations ; observed
to me one day that he hoped if he
should express his feelings toward
me, it would not offend, as it came
from no malicious views ; but from a
pure heartj and one that wished me
well from his soul. I viewed this at
tempt at that time as 1 should always
have done. 1 replied that 1 hoped he
would never insult me again by a re
petition of an affection at once crim
inal and ungrateful; and that if he
did not desist from such insinuations
he would have to leave the house—for
that Mr. Hooper was absent; he had
intrusted him with the transaction
of his commercial business ; and that
this was abusing the confidence repo
sed in us both. But the attempt could
not end here, the more I resisted the
harder he tried to corrupt tny integ
rity and to implant infidelity on my
mind ; stating that he should become
incapable of attending to Mr. Hoop
er’s business as he ought to do in con
sequence of his love. I still viewed
his attempts as nothing more than
that depravity which characterises
too many men. Every stratagem that
a ,- t and illicit desire could dictate
was tried. Nothing was omitted to
accomplish my ruin. Nothing was
omitted (hat I told him to do; he at
length neglected in sopie small de
gree the commercial business in which
Mr. Hooper hail placed him. The
design was plain, and 1 often told
him it would not do, for his plans
would not bear him out. By this
time Mr. Hooper’s business began to
become somewhat deranged in his ab.
sence, and required to be handled in
a more diligent manner than usual.
Then was the time that the seducer
made use of all his power and ener
gy, ami began to use all his advanta
ges. He then told me that if I would
not allow him one single kiss ; which
was all he craved to make him happy
in the world ; and if so small ft favor
was not granted, that he would im
mediately leave Mr. Hooper’s business
far Lis creditors to sell his property
cs they might think proper. Heaven’s
God ! what a state of wretchedness
did this place me in. I then had be
trayed my confidence and had abu
sed one ot the most tender and affec
tionate husbands upon earth. Altho’
nothing highly criminal had as yet
transpired, 1 was approaching to the
brink of eternal destruction. Tbe
woman who hesitates is lost—anti
here I began to tuink the young man
was sincere, and. that no man on earth
would make such solemn promises
bound by the most sacred oaths that
ever man uttered to be true, and ne
ver to be known by the world. Yet
my very heart shuddered, and I was
not so blind as to think that 1 had
done right. 1 thought my impru
dence had involved me in difficul
ties; and that the best plan was to
extricate myself as eaaj as possible.
His insinuations now became so re
peated and so bearing, that 1 was in
duced to think that surely no one on
earth could use such language as he
did if he were not sincere. That I
became the dupe of my own weakness
and to the most consummate artifice,
the following copy of a solemn oath
written with his own hands, the ori
ginal of which is in my possession,
will declare—“ May the God of uni
versal nature who knoweth the se
crets of all hearts, punish me with
present and eternal torments ; if fi
ver 1 prove false forsake or betray
the present object of my affections 5
to whom I solemnly vow eternal con
stancy so long as she proves true to
me—-so help me God.’’ This oath I
have in the original signed with his
namein hisown hand writing. While
things were in the situation above de
scribed, Mr. Hooper returned from
the sou h. 1 then rejoiced, and was
in hopes that the whole of this busi
ness would fall to the ground, and re
turn to the devil from whence it
came. Mr. Hooper, from misfortune,
appeared to be in low spirits, and
upon this circumstance this enemy to
domestic felicity built his hopes of
conquest. He persuaded me that
Mr. Hooper intended to leave me and
all my little children to shift in tbe
world, and if 1 was left without a
friend, what could Ido ? He added
that Hooper had told him that his
mind was much sour’d with my coh
duct for several : and that he,
Hooper, had a fine woman in his view
whom he intended to ruakea wife of;
and that it was a Doth that he was
making arrangements to leave me
and the children; and that it was
then in my power to accept the offer
of a man who would never forsake
nor leave me while tbe God of his ex
istence suffered him to live By
these artifices he at length gained my
affections, having led me to believe
what he told me was true. My love
became cool towards my dear hus
band, and I often treated him with,
silent contempt. By this time I was
completely captivated by the enemy,
and in a state of distraction, and al
most induced to do any thing he told
me, till at last I had* a letter from
him, dated Thursday, Bth of Februa
ry, 1821, which letter began to con
vince me that the blind was leading
the blind ; and that at some future
period both would full into the ditch;
for he stated in that letter on truth,
and fells me to do so too; that if
Hooper should have any kind of rea
son to believe that we had or hold
up any kind of correspondence, that
1 must deny to the utmost with as
much confidence as though it were a
sacred truth. And I have of late no.
liced that he always tried to keep nu*
between himself and the halter; and
what has convinced me of the truth
of (his fact is now well known to so
ciety, that after the most solemn
oaths, and calling upon God to wit
ness them in the most solemn man
ner, that ever oaths were uttered, ho.
then betrayed the confidence which 1
had reposed in him, notwithstanding
I was wrong and mislead. But this
was no reason why he should betray
me by shewing to the world all my
letters which I had written as confi
dential and secret.
Thus has the world been afforded
a specimen of w hat M‘Bride is. Now
since my case is just as bad as it can
be, I am perfectly willing to relate
the whale transaction, and that the
whole dreadful burthen of criminali
ty is not referable to me alone. That
this very man has his dishonor ami
disgrace to bear as well as myself. Is
it not the will of heaven that he has
to bear the reproaches and scoffs of
all who know him. It is beyond all
controversy that I was in love, peace,
and harmony with my family and inv
very dear and much injured husband,
well established by all who knew any
thing of our domestic affairs. Anil
now to what a state of wretchedness
am I reduced. lam abandoned from
my home, my children, eight in num
ber, and (torn (lie true and faithful
triend whose honest heart is a strati
ger to deceit; who was always ten
der to me, and whose hand has never
refused to administer comfort to me.
This was the case of my real situa- I
tion before 1 was betrayed by this
wretched wolf, who was going about
like a roaring lion seeking whom he
might devour. In another of his let
ters, dated February 21st, 1821, he
declaims against those who utter
falsehoods, and solicits toe to pay no
regard to any council I might receive
which would go to condemn him in
this wretched transaction; and in
tl e same sentence contradicts him
self in two positive facts, When 1
take a retrospective view of both our
conduct, I find that the veil covered
my eyes so completely that 1 was led
astray, and made to believe things
that were impossible. M*Bride fre
quently declared that he loved me
tenderly, and that he never could
live without me. Now 1 ask any
candid mind, if they love any object
sincerely whether they would destroy
that object with that love ? I will an
swer it is impossible—for when one
loves sincerely, the object beloved
will never be betrayed : that none
but a seducer will lead the object of
his pretended passion to, eternal des
truction and indeliible disgrace.—
This man had neariy twelvemonths
consideration after Mr. Hooper came
home, and then was cautioned in re
ferencc to the consequence, and what
this sort of conduct would eventually
lead to, Oli! my God to w hat a grade
of infamy have 1 reduced myself—
Uh ! that 1 ever suffered myself to
be led astray by the insinuations of
the adulterer ! i confess before mv
creatsw and in the face of all the
world that 1 was wrong—and I sol
emuly beseech offender Deity to
pardon my transgression, as he has
been pleased to convince me of my
folly which through his divine grace
lam resolved never to repeat even
in meditation.—
i 1 will now turn my attention to
the subject ol my dear husband,
• who has borne with my misfortunes
i and errors, and iias always given me
i good advice, and often repeated to
. me the evil consequence attendant
- upon female indiscretions, and so
; licited me for heaven’s sake to de
, sist from those improprieties, which
must terminate ijtt my own ruin,
i And all this was done in the most
r tender mannei—and I believe that
; he bore more than any other man
: would have done if he had loved me
i less tenderly.—Heaven’s God! will
he ever forget me in this world f
Let that be as it may, I fervently de
i sire that God will bless his efforts
and enable him to raise our little
helpless babes in that glorious way
which will tend to his honor and to
; their virtue and prosperity. And
i now suffer my fate to operate as a
solemn warning, not to hesitate one
i moment between the alternatives of
■ virtue and vice Alas! I once
thought that no temptation could al
• eniate my affection from a tender
companion, much less sink me in
the vortex qf folly. Yet suffer me
to say that thou art from the womb
1 of thy mother various and wavering.
■ How then shall thou be firm. He
who gave thee a no iy, formed it in
weakness; rely not in thy own
i strength—not knowing what a day
may bring forth. But of one immuta
ble truth be assured, that to be vir
tuous is to be happy.

The lan. —The uses of this little
female ornament are well described j
in the following extract from ‘ let-'
ters from Spain ,’ published in the
Neir Monthly Magazine No, V: —
A Showy bin is indispensable, in
all seasons, both in and out of doors.
An Andalusian woman might as well
want her tongue as her fan. The fan,
besides, has this advantage over the
natural organ of speech—that it con
veys thought to a greater distance.
A dear friend at the farthest end of
the public walk, is greeted and
cheered up by a quick, tremulous
motion of the fan, accompanied with
several significant nods. An object
of indifference is dismissed with a
slow, formal inclination of the fan,
which makes his blood run cold—.
The fan now screens the titter and
whisper; now condenses a smile in
to the dark sparkling eyes, which
take their nimjust above it. A gentle
tap of the fan rnmmar.ds the atten
tion of the careless; a waving motion
calls the distant. A certain twirl
between the fingers hefravs doubt or
anxiety—a q»vk closing and display
ing the folds, indicates eag rnesse or
joy. In perfect combination with
the expressive features of my coun
trywomen, the fan is a magic wand,
whose power is more easily fe!t than
described.
