Adaws' address ocenpied about an hour and ahalf in it dolivery, and wes greatly admired for the vaet array of facts it coatained npona sublect o winch our farmers aro so greatly in- terosted, an well an for the apt and telling man- norin which those facts wers presenied, Tho full toxs of tho spcoch ia a5 follows: THE ADDRESS, As s mlo, it fs not easy to ssy whother it s a mMOFo amusing or o moro mortifying exercivo of tho spiri to look bookt through o vista of years to vomo warm political debate iu which we may bave chanced o bavo taken part. Upun tho whols, s stalo political oxcitvment doos svem to bo the most flat and unprofitablo of ail possible oxhibitions whoen you thus come to turn it ovor, and ta look into it, and in cool Llood to philos- Dlize upou it. And yet, if 1t 8o chanced that in tts day wo took a hand in it ourselves, it is ard to not either laugh nor cry as we recall tho in- tousity of fooling, tho warmth of expression, the freedom of expletives, and, #o to speak, the amount of persplration in general, which marked the progross of the fght ;~—the lrin, abidiog convictions on tho one side and on the other that somehow tho fate of the universe was at issuo, Could thote woll be & morn atriking illustra- tion of this than was fuinished a fow weeks since by THEZ DEATIL OF ANDREW JONINSOY, 1n tho gonaral good-natured oxpreasion of kindly farewolls which the old man’s pasaing away callod forth on overy sido? It was almmost Jmpossiblo toroad the obituary uotices without a quict Iaugh, not at the dead Presidont, but at political naturo i goneral aud tho wrilors of the notices in particalar. As tho eleotric wires flashed the unoxpectod nows ovor tho Jand his fellow-citi- zena oll concurred 1o doclaring that, aster all, in spita of his poouliorities, there was & groat deal of good in the old man ;—sad yot, how long be- toro was it that s large majority of those follow- citlzons—~two-thirda lacking one only, I beliove, of tho suguat body of which bo died & member— bad united in declaring the doceased * thogreat- est criminal of this or aoy othor ago" :—so geeat, ko bad, so black, that & diatinguishod gon- tloman from Massachusetls, you way romoms bor, was unable, in tho frenzy of his favoctives, to find any oarthly place of punishment moot for his offounss, andiwas compelted to inuproviso a celestial dungoon in a starless void somewhers in the southiern heavous. All this happoned a little over vight years ago. It sounds ridiculous enough now ; 1t was |eorioud then. And sob it was but & ropetition of what has boen witnessed in overy decade of our history, and suid in overy dis- cusslon and a4 reapects almost every one of our prominent public mon. ‘Wo don't now ofton disturd tho'musty files which rocord tho droary tarilf discussions of forty years ngo, which came &o near loading to nullification nud socossion beforo its time;—wo don't remetnbor the romoval of she deposits and tho great finoncial crash in the thirties;—we dou't care anything abont the United Biates Dank; and old Nick Liddlo (s cloan forgot- tonj—wo can't recall tho famous bargsin and corruption timos, with its wicked ** com- Dbivatiou of the Purdan with the Llacklog ™ vans- iog such o vast offusion of rage and stiong lan- guage.
