May I%h, 1847 7
Tribute to tLe Meiaory of Mr. Adam:.
Mr. DAVIS of Massachusetts, rose and thus ad
dressed that body:
Mr. Presidkwt: By the recent affliction of iny col
eagne, a painful duly devolves upon me. The message
just delivered from the House proves that the baud of God
has been again among u* A great and good man has
gone from our midst. If, in speaking of John Quincy
Adams, 1 can give utterance to the language of my
own heart, 1 am confident 1 shall meet with a response
from the Senate.
He was bom in the then Province ot Massachusetts,
while she was girding herself Cr the great revolutionary
which was then before her. His parentage is
too well known to need even an allusion ; yet I may
be pardoned if I say that his father seemed born to aid
in the establishment of our free government; and his
mother uas a suitable companion ami co-laborer of
such a patriot. The cradle hymns of the child were the
songs of liberty. The power and competence of man
for self-government were the topics which he most
frequently heard discussed by the wise men of the day,
and the inspiration thus caught gave form and pres
sure to his ultei life. Thus early imbued with the love
of free institutions, educated by his father lor the ser
vice of his country, and early led hy Washington to
its altar, he has stood before the world as one of its em
nent statesmen. He has occupied, in turn, almost ev
ry place of honor which the country could give him,
and for more than half a century has been thus identi
fied with its history. Under any circumstances, I
should frel myself unequal to the task of rendering jus
tice to his memory, but, with the debilitating effect of
bad healih still upon me, I can only with extreme brev
ity touch upon some of the most prominent features of
his life.
While yet a young man he was, in May, 1794, ap
pointed minister resident to the States general of the
United Netherlands. In May, 1796, two years after,
he was appointed minister plenipotentiary at Lisbon,
in Portugal. Three honors were conferred on him by
George Washington, with the advice and consent of
the Senate.
In May, 1797, he was appointed minister plenipo
tentiary to the King of Prussia. In March, 1798, and
probably while at Berlin, he was appointed a commis
sioner with full powers to negotiate a treaty of amity
and couuuerce with Sweden.
After his return to the United States he was elected
by the Legislature of Massachusetts a Senator, and dis
charged Uc duties of thatstatiou in this chamber from
the 4th of March, 1803, until June, 1808, when differ
ing from his coileage and from the State upon a great
political question, he resigned his seat. In June, 1809,
he was nominated and appointed minister plenipoten
tiary to the Court of St. Petersburg.
While at that Court, in February, 1811, he was ap
pointed an associate justice of the Supreme Court of the
United States, to fill a vacancy occasioned by the death
of Judge Cushing, bat nevef took his seat upon the
bench.
In May, 1813, be, with Mrawn. Gallatin and Bay
ard, was nominated Envoy Extraordinary and Minis
ter Plenipotentiary to negotiate a treaty of peace with
Great Britain, under the mediation of Russia, and a
treaty ot commerce with Russia From causes which
uis unnecessary to notice, nothing was accomplished
under this appointment. But afterwards, in January,
1814, he, *ith Messrs. Gallatin, Bayard, Clay, and
Russell, were appointed Ministers Plenipotentiary’ and
Extraordinary to negotiate a treaty of peace and a trea
ty of commerce with Great Britain. This mission suc
ceeded in effecting a pacification, and the name of Mr.
Adams is subscribed to the teaty of Ghent.
After this eventful crisis in our public affairs he was
in February, 1815, selected by Mr. Madison to repre
- Bem the country and protect its interests at the Court
of St. James, and he remained there as Envoy Extra
ordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary until Mr. Mon
roe became President ot the United States.
On the s‘.ii ot Muidi. 1817, at the commencement ot
I the new administration, he was appointed Secre
j taryof State, and continued in the office while that
gentleman was at the head of the Admiuistration.
In 18*25 he was elected his successor, and discharged
the duties ol President for one term, ending on the 3d
of March, 1829.
Here followed a brief period of repose from public
service, and Mr. Adams retired to the family mansion
at Quincy, but was elected a member of the House of
Representatives from the district in which he lived at
the next election which occurred after his return to it,
and took his seat in December, 183i : he retained it by
| successive elections to the day of ins ueath.
| I have not ventured on this occasion beyond a bare
enumeration of Uk* high places of trust and confidence
which have been conferred upon the deceased. The
service covers a period of more than half a century, and
what language can 1 employ which will portray more
forcibly the great merits of the deceased, the confi
dence reposed in him by the public, or the ability with
which he discharged the duties devolved upon luin,
than by this simple narration of recorded facts ? An
ambitious man could not desire a more emphatic eu
logy.
Mr. Adams, however, w T asnot merely a statesman,
but a ripe, accomplished scholar, who, during a life of
remarkably well directed industry, made those grea t
acquirements which adorned his character and gave to
it the manly strength of wisdom and intelligence.
Asa statesman and patriot, he will rank among the
illustrious men of an age prolific in great names, and
greatly distinguished for its progress in civilization.—
The productions of his [vn are proofs of a vigorous
mind, imbued with a prolound knowledge of what it
investigates, and of a memory which was singularly
retentive and capacious.
But his character is not made up of those conspicu
ous qualities. He will be remembered lo*- ‘he virtues of
private life—for his elevated moral example—tor his
integrity—for his devotion lo his duties as a Christian,
as a neighbor, and as the head ot a family. In all
these relations tew persons have set a more steadfast or
brighter example, and few have descended to the grave
w here the broken ties of social and domestic affection
have been more sincerely lamented. Great as may be
the loss to the public ofone so gifted and wise.it is by
the family that his desth will be inoat deeply felt. His
sged and beloved partner, who has long shared the ho
nors of his career, and to whom ail who knew her are
bound by the ties of friendship, w ill believe that we share
her grief, mourn her bereavement, and sympathize with
her in her atßction.
It is believed to have been the earnest wish of his
heart to die, like Chatham, in the midst of his labors.
It was a sublime thought, that where he had toiled in
the house of the nstiou, in hours of the day devoted to
its service, the stroke of death should reach him, and
there sever the ties of love and patriotism weirh bound
him to earth. He firll in his srat, attacked by paraly
sis, of which he had bsinre l>sen a victim To descriiie
the scene which ensued would be impossible. It was
more than the spontaneous gush of feeling which all
such events call forth, ao much to the honor of our na
ture It was the expression ot rrverencr for his moral
worth ; of admiration for his great intellectual endow
ments, aud of veneration for his age and public servi
ces All gather round the sufferer, and the strong sym
pathy and deep fee.ing which manifested itself showed
that the business ot the House (which wo* instantly ad
journed) was forgotten amid the distressing anxieties
lie was soon removed to the apartment of the B|eak
rr, where he remained surrounded by afflicted friends
till the weary clay resigned its immortal spirit **This
is the end of earth!” Brief but etuphutic words
They were among the last uttered by the dying Chris
tian.
Thus has dosed the life of one whose purity, patri
otism, talents, aud learning have seldom hren serious
ly questioned. Tossy tfiat he bad laulls, would only lie
declaring that lie was human l*ef Hun who is exempt
from error venture to point them out In hi* l*ng e*
eer ol i übls’ life it would be strange it the venerable
man liad not met with many who have differed from
hnn in sentiment, or who liave condemned his acta
If there be such, let the mantle of oblivion be thrown
over each unkind thought Let not the grave of the old
man eloquent be desecrated by unfriendly remembrance
but let us yield our bomsge is hia many virtues, and
let It he our prayer that we may ao perform our duties
here that, if suninxmed in alike wdden and aps II ig
! manner, we may not be found unprepared or unable to
utter his words, “I am composed.”
Mr. President, with this imperfect sketch of the
character and services ofa great man, I leave the aub.
ject in the hands of the Senate, by moving the reaolu
tions which 1 aent to the Chair:
Resoivert, That the Senate has received with deep
sensibility the message from the House of Representa
tives annunemg the death of tlie Hon. John Quincy
Atlanta, a Representative from the State of Massa
chusetts.
Resolved, That token of respect for the memory
of the deceased, the Senate will attend his (uncial at
tlie hour appointed hy the House of Representatives
and w ill wear the usual badge of mourning for thirty
slays.
Resolved , That as a further mark of respect for the
memory of the deceased, the Senate do now adjourn
nntil Saturday next, to the time appointed tor the fu
neral.
The resolutions having been rend—
Mr. BENTON, of Missouri, addressed the Senate as
follows: Mr President—The voice of hie native State
hue been heard, through one of the Senators of Mnsea
dtnsetts, announcing the death of her ngrd nnd most
lietinguiehed son. The voice of the other Senator from
Massachusetts is not heard, nor is his presence seen
i A domestic calamity, known to us all, nnd felt by us
j Ml *’ ™ n lii'es him to the chamber of private grief while
, the Senate ia occupied with the public rnenifi-atntioM,
j of a respect and sorrow which a nationnl loss inspires
, In the absence of that Senator, and as the member ol
) tins body longest lien-, it m not unfitting or unbecom
ing m me to second tlie motion winch has been made
for extending the laat honors of the Senate to him, who
forty-five years ago, was a member of this body, who,
at the time of his death, wns among the oldest mem
bers of the House of Representatives, and who, put
ting the years ol his service together, was the oldest o|
all the members of the American Government.
The eulogium of Mr. Adams is made m the facts ot
his life, which the Senator from Massachusetts (Mr
I Davis) has so strikingly stated, that from early man
j hood to octogenarian age, he has been constantly aud
moel honorably employed in the public service’ For
a period of more than fifty years, from the time of Itis
first appoimnent aa Minister abroad under Washing
ton, “> I‘ia lasi election to the House of Representatives
by the people of his native district, he lias been con
stantly retained in the public service, and that, not by
the favor ol a Sovereign, or by hereditary title, but by
the elections and apjioiutiuenta of a republican govern
ment. I his lact makes the eulogy of the illustrious de
ceased. For what, except a union of all the quad ties
which command the esteem and confidence of man,
could have ensured a public service so long, by appoint
ments free and popular, and from sources so various
and exalted ? Minister many times abroad; member
of this body ; member of the House ot Representatives ,
Cabinet Minister; President of the United Stales,
such has been the galaxy of his splendid appointments
And what but moral excellence the moat perfect; in
tellectual ability the most eminent; fidelity the most
unwavering , rr riu. most useful, would havecom
matided such a succession of appointments so exalted,
and from sources so various and so eminent 1 Nothing
less could have commanded such a series of appoint
ments ; and accordingly we see the union of all these
great qualities in hint who has received them.
In this long career of public service Mr. Adams was
distinguished not only by taithful intention to all the
great duties ol his stations, but to all their less and mi
nor duties. He was not the Salantiniun galley; to be
launched only on extraordinary occasions, but he was
the ready vessel, always launched when the duties of
his station required it, Ire the occasion creator small
As President, as cabinet minister, as minister abroad,
he examined all questions that came before him, and
examined all, in all their parts, m all the iniuutia of
their detail, as well as in all the vaslness of their com
prehension. As Senator, and as a member of the
House of Representatives, the obscure committee room
was as much the witness ol his Laborious application to
the drudgery of legislation as the hulls of the two hous
es were to the ever-ready speech, replete with knowl
edge, which instructed all hearers, enlightened all sub
jects, and gave dignity and ornament to debate.
In the observance of all the proprieties of hie, Mr
Adams was a most noble and impressive example. He
cultivated the minor as well as the greater virtues.—
Wherever his presence could give aid and countenance
to what was useful and honorable toman, there he was
In the exercises of the school and of the college—in the
meritorious meetings of the agricultural, mechanical,
and commercial societies—in attendance upon Divine
worship—he gave the punctual attendance rarely seen
but in those who are free from the weight of public
cares.
Punctual to every duty, death found hint a* the poet
of duty, and where else could it have found him, at
any stage of lus career, for the fifty years of his illus
trious public life ? From die time of his first appoint
ment by Washington to his last election by die people
of his native town, w here could death have found him
but at the poet of duty ? At that post, in the fullue**
of age, in ihe ripeness of renown, crowned with hon
ors, surrounded by his family, his lriends, and admi
rers, and in the very presence of the national represen
tation, he has been gathered to his fathers, leaving be
hind him the memory of public services wluch are the
history of his country for half a century, and the exam
ple of a life, public and private, which should be tl**
study and the model of the generations ol his coun
trymen.
i When Mr. B concluded, the resolution* were una
nimously adopted, and the Senate adjourned to Sat
i urday.
| In the House ot Representatives, as soon as the
j body was called to order
The Speaker (the Hon. R. C. WiNTHgor) rose, and
\ in a feeling and afiecling manner addicased the House
] as follows:

It ia for others to suggest what honors shall be paid
to his memory. No acts of ours are necessary to his
fame. But it may he due to ourselves and to the coun
try, that the national sense of hia character and services
should be fitly coinmemoroted.
W„en the Speaker concluded, Mr. Hudson, of Massa
chusetts, rose and addressed the House as follows :
Mr. Speaker: I rise with no ordinary emotion to

of our Government—one who has come down to us
from past generations, and of whom it might almost
he said he was living in the midst of posterity, an ex
ample to ns and to those who come after us, has ceased
■ from his labors, and gone to his reward. The peculiar
circumstances of his death are known to every member
of this House, and arc calculated to make a deep nnd
lasting impression. They weigh so heavily upon my
own mind and feelings, that lam almost inclined to
believe that silence is the most appropriate token of
our grief, and the most suitable to his memory.
John Quincy Adams wns born on the lltli day of
July, 1767, in that part of Braintree, Massachusetts,
j W'hich W'as subsequently incorporated into a town by
the nnineot Quincy, nnd hence wns in the eighty-first
year of bis age. In 1778, when lie was but eleven years
<d age, lie accompanied his father, John Adams, to
Fiaoec, who was sent with Benjamin Frankt.in and
Arthur Lex, as Commissioners to the Court of Ver
sailles. After remaining in France about eighteen
months, during which time he applied himself r'oeely
j to tlie study of tlie French and Latin languages, he re
turned to hia own country in August, 1779 In No
vemlier of the same year his father was again dispatch
ed to Europe Ibr the discharge ofdiplomatic services, and
look hisson John Quincy with hint At Paris he wns
’ l> ut to school, and when, in 1780, John Adams remov
ed to Holland, his son enjoyed the advantages of the
! public school at Amsterdam, nnd afterwards ol the Uni
versity at Leyden. Francis Dana, who accompanied
! •* o,,n Adams, as Secretary to the Embassy, received in
! (781 the appointment of Minister Plenipotentiary to
| Russia,and took John Quincy Adams, then fourteen
j years of age, with him as his private secretary. Here
lie remained till October, 1782, when he left Mr Di.na
at St. Petersburg, and returned through Sweden, Den
ms rd, Hamburg and Bremen, to Holland, where he re
mained some months, till his father look him to Paris
! al ,bp ‘'"te of the signing of the treaty of peace in 1783
Front that time till 1785 he was with his lather in Eng
| l* nt l. Holland, and France; during the whole of which
I period he was a close student.
j At the age of eighteen, at his own request his father
j permitted him to return to Massachusetts, where he en
tered Harvard University, and was graduated in 1787
I wiih (timinguisbed hunuis. Huou after leaving college
lie entered tlie office of the celebrated Theophilus Par
sons. nlterwards Chief Justice of Massachusetts, where
he remained the usual period of three years in the stu
dy of die law, when he entered the profession, and es-
I tablished himself at Boston.
In 1794 Gen. Washington appointed him resident
minister to the United Netherlands From that period
till 1801 he was in Europe, employed in diplomatic bu
siness, and as a public minister in Holland, England and
Prussia. Just as Gen Washington was retiring from
office, lie appointed Mr. Adams minister plenipotenti
ary to the Court of Portugal. While on his way to
Lisbon he received anew commission,changing his
destination to Berlin. During Itta residence of about
>hree years and a half at Berlin, he concluded an im
|>ortantcommercial treaty with Prussia—thus accom
plishing the object of hts mission. He was recalled
neat die close ol hts Isther’aadministration, and arrived
in his native country in September, 1801.
In 18tW he was chosen by the Boston district to the
Senate of Massachusetts, and soon after was elected
I by tile Legislature a Senator in Congress for six years
trout March 3, 1803. He remained in the Senate ol
the United States until 1800, when he resigned While
in Ihe Senate lie received the appointment oi Pmfrseor
of Rhetoric in Harvard University, ait office which he
filled with distinguish ability.
In IdOy he was appointed by President Madison en
voy extraordmory ami minister plenipotentiary to the
Couatof Russia, where he rendered the moat impor
tant services to his country. By his influence with that
Court he induced Russia to offer her mediation be
tween Great Britian and the United States in the
, war °f ; ®**d. when the proper time had arrived,
j hr was placed by President Mamson at the head of five
I distinguished commissioners to negotiate a treaty of
peace, which was concluded at Ghent in 1814. Mr
Adams was then associated with Mr Clay and Mr
Gallatin to negotiate a commercial convention with
Great Britian, and was for with appointed minister plen
ipotentiary to the Court of Si. James. While in Europe
in 1811, he received tne appointment of Associate Jus
tice of the Supreme Court of the United States, which
he declined.
After remaining in England till the cloae of Presi
dent Madison s adminiainiiion, he was called home,
and placed by President Monroe at the head of the De
partment of Stale where he remained eight years.
In 1823 he was chosen by the House of Representa
tives President of die United States lor the term of lour
yearn.
On leaving the Presidency in 1829 he returned to his
native place in Massacliuseits„and ill 1831 he was elec -
led a member ofthis House and by the free sufl'ragen
of the people has been continued in that office to the
day of his death.
riiia is but a hasty and imperfect enumeration of the
public stations which have been tilled by my late la
mented colleague. Os the manner ill which be haa dis
charged these public trusts it is not necessary for me to
Speak. Suffice it to say that his long eventlul live lias
been devoted to the public service, and die ability and
fidelity wuh which he lias discharged every duty are
known and acknowledged throughout the nation. Ilia

into dust By his death the counrry has loot a pure patri

But it is not aa a public man merely that we are to
eontenplate Mr Adams. Jn the private walks of life
” where tired dissimulations drop .be mask,', and man
appears as he really ts, we find in him all those silent
and aonai virtues which adorn the character. Ilia ar

stern devotion to tin cause of civil and religious liberty,
were blended with meekness, sobriety, and charity
But the crowning glory of h character was his devo

To tlun cause lie was publicly dedicated on the sec

A talk about Trees, Shrubs and Flower*.
Shrub# and Flower*, with their varied hue* and forms,
nnord us gratification which is to be highly prized ; but
it is trees which beautify the landscape, and give much
of the pictorial and physical character to a country.—
As Americans, we may justly be proud ol the diversi
; ty of our forest trees ; among them are those which
an* beautiful and useful,—but as Carolim&ns. we must
! re K rpl that so tew have been spared, and left for oma
l ment. Our country, cut up and woniout, before its
tune, by the ruinous course of culture, presents the
same appearance which Italy did, to the eye of that
shrewd genius Lawrence Sterne, who when ruling
along the lanes, complained that he was in danger ol
having the tip of hut nose burnt off by the scorching
ra vs of the sun. A traveller in many partsof our State,
where Ihe cotton culture has been steadily purs.ed, is
often placed in a similar predicament, for the want of
frhade for himself and steed. Since the days of Steme r
ihe paths and high-ways of Italy, have been beautiful
ly ornamented with trees and festoons of luxuriant vines,
are often to be seen extending from one side of the road
to the other, which serve to moderate the heat, and add
to the coin ort of the traveller
It is never too late to remedy an evil, and if the at
tention of the people was directed earnestly to this mat
ter, our iarren and desolate roadsides, and bleak and
almost cheerless homesteads, would soon present a
more inviting appearance. The <1 fferen; varieties of
the film, ore ail readily transplanted, and adapt them
selves 10 every kind of soil, ft has been rendered clas
sic by Virgil, and in later times, by Taao. it is a well
known tree, and in England, and upon the continent
of Europe, is generally cultivated, and for grace and
elegance, stands unrivalled, particularly when grown
iin be open ground, in such a situation where it can
properly devtlope itself. There are several varieties of
this noble tree to be found in our woods, all of wnich
deserve attention. The European Elm is perhaps the
most beautiful, and when budded upon the native kinds
succeeds admirably. Asa street tree the Elm is dura
ble, and our public squares should be plained with it,
instead of the and others of this character,
winch grow up, and die in a tew years. Planted around
i the homestead, made dear by the ties of association it
J is truly appropriate.
The Oak is durable, and with a little care can be
readily transplanted. The small willow-leaved water
Oak, and a variety commonly called the Turkey Oak,
from their size and form, are admirably adapted lor
street trees.
The Maple and Gum, are to be found in great abun
dance, and of several varieties. Each are beautiful in
summer, and picturesque in their decay, producing a
charming effect in autumn. A few of these should
have a place, while the Dogwood, dressed Like a gay
bride in spring, for the pleasing effect it produces,
should not be overlooked Mr. Poinsett says that the
Ked-bud, or Judas Tree, should be grouped with it,
as n blooms at the same time, and its purple flowers
contrast beautifully with the snowy blossoms of the dog
wood.
In some sections the mania tor introducing foreign
trees, has been carried to such an extent, that the coun
try has been filled wiih the Alianthus. This tree has,
but one quality which should give it place as a street
tree which is the strong scent of the foliage, as no in
sect or animal will prey upon its leaves ; when trained
to a sufficient height, it torinsa beautiful shade. It is,
however, so very troudlesome in cultivated grounds,
from its sending out suckers, where the earth is stirred,
and the roots broken, that it Hhould be introduced with
extreme caution. On u grassy lawn, it is in a great
measure free from this objection, and from its airy palm
like foliage, gives an oriental character to the scene.—
The paper Mulberry, like the Alianthus, is also tiw
bl some in cultivated grounds, and like the Locust, its
life is of short duration, soon giving way, and being
easily blown down by storms. The Abe.e or silver
leaved Poplar, is subject to the same objections.
The Vaininh lire, {alriiuliu plaUnia/olia is lire
from all these objections, and can be introduced near
the dwelling and amongst shrubbery, with most happy
effect. This is tbs most valuable and ornamental of
ah i he foreign shade trees.
The Magnolia grandiflora, will grow and flourish
in every port on of the State. In the middle and up
per country, they should be transplanted in large holes
filled w ith rich sandy mould. The plant should all be
grown irom seed in pots, and when thus transplanted
the;- will with a little care grow quite as luxuriantly as
in their native soil.
The Pyramidal, or Oriental Cypress, which grows
up tall and stately m shape like the Lombardy Poplar,
will grow and flourish if planted in the same manner.
From its scarcity, (iis few trees have yet obtained suf
ficient maturity to produce seed,) it is yet rare.
The Deodora Cedar and the Cedar of Lebanon,
have been introduced recently. These in their native
climate, are trees of great size and longevity, and
when generally introduced, will give a noble appear
ance to the country. The white P ne, Balsam Fir,
Hemlock, Spruce and the rare coniferious varieties,
ail flourish in the country. When exposed to the dry
and smoky atmosphere of lowiis&nd ulus, they so n
uecline. The Swecuish Juniper, however, wirhstai is
all thi, and is beautiful in the grounds around the city,
and iroin us small size, can be introduced in any of the
gardens.
The Arbor Vitae is with many a great favorite. It is
however, a very unsightly tree when old, but this may
he remedied by clipping when young, and training it
m such form as may please the fancy.
The Mock Orange, neat and unique in proper situa-
Iv propagated from
tnem, and sutfeling them to remain twenty four hours,
they should then be taken out and the seed rolled in ash
es to counteract the effect of the acid contained in tiie
akin The seed of the Holly treated in the same man
ner will readily vegit te. Thus the e two hardy na
tive evergreens, may be planted abundantly in the
grounds, and trained and formed into beautitul and
| ornunental hedges.
The common Cedar is spreading rapidly over the
■V, and gives a varied ml pleasing ‘ fleet to our
woodlands and waste grounds When young it is sy
metncai, and when trimmed up, as it grows older, it
improve.- 1 in picturesque effect, and the hmbs extend,
and the milage becomes feathery. The Holly with its
shining red berries adds much to the appearance of our
woods, where it abounds.

Culture of Cotton in India.
The improvement of the staple of cotton grown in
India, by introducing the American cotton aced into
the British dominions in that quarter us the world, it io
well known has been a favorite object with many gen
tlemen of influence in Ureal Britain, aided by those
who regarded the project as one which might eventual
ly c. iabTe England to obtain her supplies of cotton with
out depending on slave labor. Although American
p'amrrs have been employed and sent out to India to
superintend the cultivation, the project has thus lar not
been very successful, or led tossy very important nr
suit
We find, however in a Liverpool paper, received by
theCainhns, that the object still continues In ati-sct at

difficulty in the wav of cultivation of this cotton by the
