On August 7, 1814, Mr. Adams was at Ghent as one of the commissioners of the peace that ended our War of 1812 with England. The deliberations lasted four months. That John Quincy Adams should ever have figured as a peace-maker, in a peace that was made, seems incredible; yet it is probable that Henry Clay, at Ghent, opposed more numerous obstacles. All of the gentlemen were of irritable temper. The treaty at London was considered a great Yankee victory. Mr. Adams was at Paris when Napoleon retu...rned from Elba, but became Minister at London before \Vaterloo. When he was a young man, General Wash- ington had foretold that John Quincy Adams would some day reach the head of the diplomatic service, and he was now in that proud official position. When James Monroe entered on the Presidency, JOHN QUIXCY ADAMS 259 Mr. Adams was invited to become Secretary of State, which put him in the direct succession to the chief magistracy. He left England June 17, 1817, a man only forty years old, who might well be regarded as one of the most fortunate of America's sons.
