He was received with the highest marks of respect.

It presented a singular spectacle to behold members of Congress who, when Mr.Adams was President, had charged him with every species of political corruption, and loaded his name with the most opprobrious epithets, now vieing with one another in bestowing upon him the highest marks of respect and confidence.

That which they denied the President, they freely yielded to the MAN.

It was the true homage which virtue and patriotism must ever receive--more honorable, and far more grateful to its object, than all the servility and flattery which power and patronage can so easily purchase.
The degree of confidence reposed in Mr.Adams was manifested by his being placed at once at the head of the Committee on Manufactures.

This is always a responsible station; but it was peculiarly so at that time.
