The Whig ex-President, true to his own indefatigable nature, still assists in the Councils of his Country; he not unfrequently speaks and delivers his original and independent opinions with his wonted energy and courage, and with singular vigour for his years. He is most punctual in his attendance at the House, having missed but one day, I believe, during the Session of 1845—6. Mr. Adams is the representative of the opinions, and the recorder of the events of earlier days; his memory is very tenacious, and his knowledge universal. Is a question mooted, a subject started for investigation, a former transaction, or the actors therein alluded to, Mr. Adams can describe the attendant circumstances, can give the name of each man concerned, and the time in which he lived, and moved, and had his being, in Congress or before his country. His seat is placed about mid-way between the Speaker's chair and the outer circle of the House of Representatives, and on the left hand of the Speaker. Unaffected apparently by heat, and cold, and fatigue, he gives his undivided and unwearied attention to all that goes forward; and I have understood that he records, at home, the proceedings of every day. Sometimes the venerable statesman is attacked by a member of opposition, and then he rises in self defence with all the indignant warmth of youth, and the consciousness of an integrity which none can gainsay.
