FIFTDEN year old Massachusetts boy, in 1782, was made private sec- retary to the United States Minister to Russia. The boy was John Quincy Adams, whose father was on a Government mission to France. Young Adams ‘had Hved in Paris since he was eleven. For over a year he ved in the gay Russian capite!, performing his duties of secretary wii the quiet skill of a grown man. Then, having a few months of spare time on hia hands, he travelled alone around Northern Europe, rejoined his father, going with bim later on a diplomatic errand to London. All the education, polish and amusements of the Old World were hts for the asking. America, by contrast, was at that time a rude, provinctal, half-settled land. Yet, as eoon as he could obtain his father’s leave to do so, Adams turned his back on the Old World and hurried back, at eighteen, to Massachusetts, to finish his edncation at Harvard. “An American educa tion is best for an (American career,” he wrote, explaining his unusual act. For in the eighteenth century the Huropean educative system was sup posed to be the best on eamh. But Adams, from first to last. was thom oughly American, He worshipped his native country with a bind, em thusiastéc devotion. Fintshing his Hervard course, he became a lawyer, and devoted htm- self eagerly to politics. His knowledge of Enrope early brought him foreign missions from the Government.

Alexamler Hamilton was the bitter political foe of ex-Prestdent John Adams. When John Quincy Adams went to the Senate, Hamilton's party there made life miserable for him; first, because h as his father’s son, but soon because his own independent course clashed with theirs. The feud between the elder Adams and Hamilton had rent the old Federalist party to which both belonged. John Quincy Adams also started in as & Federalist, but Senators of his own party joined in “boycotting” him, They insulted and slighted him in a dozen ways. Sometimes these insults would be of a subtle nature that could not be resented; sometimes gross and open. Jefferson was President. The Federalists flercely opposed his purchase of the vast “Louisiana” tract. Adams, who saw in the purchase a tre mendous gain for our country, boldly broke from his party and approved the affair. Then, when British aggression threatened to plunge the coun- try In war, Adams fought with all his polltical skill in behalf of Jefferson and the latter's “embargo,” thus virtually going over from the Federalist to the Republican party. The Federalists denounced Adams as a traitor, His beloved New England turned against him. He was threatened with political ruin and physical violence. He was forced out of the Senate. His carcer was belfeved to be at an end. But Madison, coming to the Presi- dency, promptly rewarded the ill-treated man’s services to the Republican party by making him Minister to Russia, In 1815 he was promoted to be Minister to England, a post he held with honor for nearly four years, re- turning to America to become Monroe's Secretary of State. Tn this latest capacity Adams's superb statesmangship won new ant lasting honora for his country. He arranged the treaty whereby we won Florida from Spain, and was chief mover and originator of the great ‘““Mon- roe Doctrine.” The slavery question, which was one day to plunge the whole nation into the deadliest of modern wars, now cropped up for the first time.
