Book Description
Excerpt from Ex-President John Quincy Adams in Pittsburgh in 1843: Address of Welcome, by Wilson McCandless, and Mr. Adams' Reply; Together With a Letter From Mr. Adams Relative to Judge Brackenridge's "Modern Chivalry" We have not strewed owers in your path, nor erected triumphal arches at your approach, but greet you with the homage of grateful hearts, as evinced in this spontaneous outpouring of the people. Here, Sir, is the token of that universal regard in which you are held by the free citizens of this great country. And here, Sir, you have the reward for a long life of meritorious public service. What can be more endearing to the heart of the patriot, than this exhibition of public sentiment; than this manifestation of love for your person, and admiration for your exalted talents and virtues. Like the son of Marcus Cato, you have been a foe to tyrants, and your country's friend, and that country now tenders to you the tribute of her affection and gratitude. You seem, Sir, like the aged oak, standing alone on the plain, which time has spared a little longer, after all its cotemporaries have been levelled with the dust, but the people delight to gather round the venerable trunk, and dwell beneath the shadow of its yet green foliage. Associated as you have been with the father OF his country, partaking largely of his confidence, and deeply imbued with the lofty patriotism of his char acter, it must be gratifying to you, to visit this, the theatre of his earliest achievements.
