This was the close of Mr. Adorns' career as a foreign Min ister. It was perhaps the most brilliant, as it was the mo»t. variediportion of his life. No Representative ol our UoverhtHeTfr has at all nppronr-he4.-him-in-thfr length ilnd^variety-of vices to his country. The Department of State was held by Mr. Adams the whole of Mr. Monroe s Presiden tial life, eight \ears. Mr. Adams was one of the four candidates for President in 1824. There was no choice in the Electoral College. Gen. Jock.«on had 99 votes, Mr. Adams 84, Wm. H. Crawford 41, and Henry Cluy 37. The election devolved upon ihe House of Representatives. Thev were to select from the three highest candidates. Although Gen. Jncksnn had received more electoral votes than Mr. Adams, yet Mr. Adams had received as large a popular vote ns Jackson. Thir teen Stages were necessary to a choice bv the House. The ballots were thrown, arid Mr. Adams was elected President of the, United StateST- He-received-the votes of-sis- New England States, with New York, Mary land, Ohio, Kentucky, Illinois, Missouri arid Louisiana—thirteen in all. Mr. Adams wns President four years. He retired from thla White House in 1829 to make room for tho hero of New Orleans'. For the first time in 36 years, he retired to private life. In 1831, ho was elected by nearly art unanimous vo,te, amemberof Con> gress, by the voters qf his native district, which post he has continued to hold .and u- dorn, onto this day.
