In a 22d of February oration in London, some years ago, Mr. Adams declared that Washington, though born in Virginia, belonged to New England, and that henceforth none but New Englanders have any right to admire him. It is probably from a conscientious reluctance to infringe this patent of Mr. Adams that no salute was fired here on the 22d of February, nor any indication given that a debating society of the comparative merits of the two men, and if Mr. Adams will make the proper allowances for some slight historical and chronological inaccuracies, traceable to well- known defects in the education of barbarians outside of New England, he will discover that we are not so unanimous, by any means, in the admiration of George Washington as he may suppose. The question for discussion was: "Which conferred the greatest benefit on mankind, Mr. Christopher Columbus or General

To be sure he performed several masterly retreats; but what is that an evidence of? Sir, it is that he was a coward. "'General Washington a coward?' screamed one of the opposite orators, in a voice of thunder. 'General Washington a coward? Who so base as dare say it? Look at him at the battle of the Nile; look at him at Waterloo, the Cowpens, on the plains of Marathon, at the Pyramids, at Stillman's defeat, at Bad Age; and, Sir, look at him at the battle of New Orleans!' "'General Washington at the battle of New Orleans?' interrupted another debater, gesticulating violently. 'Mr. Speaker, is there such an ignoramus in the house?

st propounded, to enter fully into the merits of the case, I will give a brief, succinct and condensed account of Mr. Columbus's life and exploits. Sir, who was Christopher Columbus? Sir, echo answers, the greatest man of his times. Sir, Columbus was the offspring of a man of the same name, who was an indignant basket-maker in a small town called Rome, situated on the river of Tigers, a stream which takes its rise in the Pyranine mountains, and flows in a southeasterly course into the Gulf of Mexico. At an early age, Columbus evinced a decided talent for the sea, and occupied the leisure hours of his infancy in perusing books of travel and works on navigation. It was while engaged in these pursuits that he incidentally met with the works of Robinson and Crusoe, and Captain Cook, and the definition he made from them was, that far away over the track less main, hitherto untrodden by the foot of man, was an undiscovered country.
