Adams the elect, Gen. Jackson the defeated. It chanced in the course of the evening, that these two persons, involved in the throng, approached each other from opposite directions, yet without knowing it. Suddenly, as they were almost together, the persons around, seeing what was to happen, by a sort of instinct stepped aside, and left them face to face. Mr. Adams was by him self : Gen. Jackson had a large, handsome lady on his arm. They looked at each other for a moment ; and then Gen. Jackson... moved forward, and, reaching out his long arm, said, i How do you do, Mr. Adams ? I give you my left hand ; for the right, as you see, is devoted to the fair. I hope you are very well, sir. All this was gal lantly and heartily said and done. Mr. Adams took the general s hand, and said, with chilling coldness, l Very well, sir : I hope Gen. Jackson is well. " It was curious to see the Western planter, the Indian fighter, the stern soldier, who had written his country s glory in the blood of the enemy at New Orleans, genial and gracious in the midst of a court ; while the old courtier and diplomat was stiff, rigid, cold as a statue.
