The last time Mr.Adams appeared in public in Boston, he presided at a meeting of the citizens of that city, in Faneuil Hall.

"A man had been kidnapped in Boston--kidnapped at noon-day, 'on the high road between Faneuil Hall and old Quincy,' and carried off to be a slave! New England hands had seized their brother, sold him into bondage forever, and his children after him.

A meeting was called to talk the matter over, in a plain way, and look in one another's faces.

Who was fit to preside in such a case?
That old man sat in the chair in Faneuil Hall.
