The greetings you receive come up from the dark and uncertain FUTURE.

They are the whisperings of posthumous FAME--fame which impatiently awaits your departure, and which, spreading wider and growing more and more distinct, will award to JOHN QUINCY ADAMS a name to live with that of WASHINGTON!" The audience expressed their sympathy with this address by long and enthusiastic cheering.

When order was restored, Mr.Adams rose, evidently under great and unaffected embarrassment.
He replied to the speech in an address of about half an hour, during which the attention of his audience was riveted upon the speaker, with intense interest and affection.

He declared the embarrassment he felt in speaking.
He was sensible that his fellow-citizens had laid aside all partizan feelings in coming up to greet him.

He desired to speak what would not wound the feelings of anyone.
