PRESIDENTS OF THE I'XITED STATES.

The follozring brief biogt apliical sketches of the

Presidents of the United States, accompany the Portraits of those individuals, in a late number (fthe .Yc:o York .Mirror: ': First in time as in glory, stands the name of George Washington, cf w hom it has been v.cll said that the history of his own life, is that of his country while that life endured.

Mil 1778, he was sent to France as otic of the'

commissioners to negotiate the treaty of aid .md alliance, but returned very soon, the treaty bavin" been signed before hii arrival. In 17S0, he was appointed a commissioner to negotiate with the States' General of Holland for a treaty and loan, and succeeded in both objects. In 1785. he was despatched as Minister Plenipotentiary to the Cour' of St. James, the first after the recognition of American lndependei.ee, and remained in Eng land until 1 7S3. On his return he was elected vit-o president, and president in 1 707, on the re fus il of Washington to accept the fiice a third lime. In 1801, he retired to Quincy, and there passed the rest of his days, cngag ing no more in public affairs, except in one instance, when in 1820, he was chosen a member of a convention to revise the constitution of Massachusetts, framed by himself forty years previous. Ho was at this time

eighty live years of age. He died on the 4lh of July, IC26, just fifty years from the -lay ou which he had signed his name to the Declaration of Independence, and within a few hours of the decease of its immortal author. Tn)MV5 Jeffersox, the third President, was a native of Shadwell, Albemarle county, Virginia, and was horn on the 13th of April, 1743. He too studied the law, and practised until 1775, when he was elected a member of the continental congress. Early in the next year he was appointed chairman of Ihe committee entrusted to draw up the Decla ration of Independence; and the draft presented by him was so perfectly satisfactory, that neither of those prepaied by the other members of the committee were produced, and it was adopted with scarcely an alteration. In 1779, he was elected Governor of Virginia; and in 1783 was appointed minister to the court of France, where he remain

ed until 1787. In 1 789, he was made Secretary of State, under Washington; elected vice president under Adams in 1797, and in

years. lie 1ms since been tw ice set t to Congress as one of fhe Kepi eser.lativts from his nalive Siate. Ax drew Jacksox, t lie seventh President, was bom in South Carolina, about forty live miles from Cam Jen, on the lol'i of March. I7C7. He was deigned for the church, and commenced the preparatory studies; but these were speedily interiupted by the wai of the revolution. At the age of fourteen, he, with an elder brother, joined the American army, and was soon after raptured and wounded. On his libe ration, he returned to itis native place, and commenced studying law. In 1770, he removed to Nashville, in Tennessee, and began to practice with great success. His first public appointment was that of District-attorney, an J at neatly the same time he was named one of the members of a convention to frame the Stale Constitu

tion. In 1796, he was elected a renrcsenta-

t live to Congress, and senator in 1797. In 1799, he received a commission as major

general in the militia ; and in 1 814, two years

alter the declaration of war with Great Britain, was appointed to the same rank in the United Slates army. In March, 1821, he was made governor of the Floridas, by President Monroe; again elected senator of the United Stales in 1822; elevated to the Pre

sidency in 1823; and again elected in 1832,

to the same station, which he slill occupies

united in rendering homage. The day of his Tn t!ii ,ffi- Iip ;.c ,;,- ti,i r v. ,i,

bum destined lo be an anniversarv of nridc

and rejoicing to his countrymen throughout ail time, was the 2 2d of February, 1732; the. place was a village, or hamlet, in Westmoreland county, in the then colony of Virginia. His father died when he was only ten ycais cf age, and his education, by that event, devolved on a mother whose mind and heart was adequate to the task of training lo manhood the Founder of a Republic." At fifteen he obtained a midshipman's warrant in the Navy of Great Britain, but resigned it

immediately, in compliance with the wish of

Lis parent, and prepared himself for the profession of a surveyor and engineer. At nine teen, his character for sagacity, talent and . courage was already so w ell ascertained that he was appointed one of the adjutants general cf the colony, then preparing for war with the French and Indians, and his first nublic employment was a mission with despatches through the wilderness to the western frontier, in 1755, General Craddock was sent out from England with a strong force to reduce the French fori, Duquesnc,cn the Ohio, a;:d Washington joined the expedition as a volunteer aid to the commander-in-chief, having resigned his commission. Better acquain

ted than Hraddock with the nature of Indian warfare, lie advised a mode of proceeding

totally different from that pursued by the British; his advice was neglected, and the

result was fatal. The troops were attacked by surprise, Braddock was slain, the regulars lied, and Washington, with the Virginia Rangers, gallantly covered their shameful retreat. On his return lo Mount Vernon, he married, and took no further part in public affairs until 1775, when he was sent from Virginia to the continental congress. Very J soon after this, it became evident that the bond of union between the colonics and Great Britain was about to be severed by an appeal to arms, and Washington was appointed commander-in-chief of the national forces. His first orders in this capacity weie issued on the uth of July, 1775, and he continued lo wield the energies of the country in its struggle for Independence, until the successful close of the war in December, 1783, when lie resigned his commission, and once more retired lo private life. In 1709, the thirteen States then composing the Union, adopted the constitution, and Washington was unanimously elected the first President; at the end cf his term he was again elecled. and was

s-trong'.y urged to accept the arduous post a

third time, but declined. In 1797, he once more retired to Mount Vernon, having first published the noble 'Farewell address:' and on the night of the 13lh of December, 1799, the first luminary of America " was removed to a higher," a brighter, tnd a happier sphere."' The second President of the United Slates was Jon Adams, of Massachussetts. He was born at Braintree. (now Quincy.) nine

miles from Boston, on the 13th of October, 1735, and, having graduated at Harvard.

adopted the law for his profession. lie earn

opposed, with great boldness and talent, the

unpopular measures of the British and colo rial governments; aud, in 177 I, on the ap

pointment of the Congress he was sent a

one ot the delegates from his native Stale.

Here his talents, vigor and patriotism soon

commanded attention, and it is universally admitted that few oilier men of the time had

s large a share in rlfecting the revolution

IL was by him that W asinugton was nominal

ed t'oinmander-iii chief of the army, and lowas also one of the commitlee appointed to draw up the Declaration of Independence.

4th of July, 1826, his spirit departed, amid

the rejoicings of millions, to whom, on that day, fifty ears previous, he had given a charier of freedom. James Madisox, the fourth President, was born in Virginia, on the 17th of March, 1750, and at the age of twenty-live, was a member of the legislature of that State. In 1 77G, he was chosen one of the delegates to the continental Congress, and assisted afterwards in framing the constitution of the United Slates. He was a member of Congress afler the adop

tion of that instrument for several years; was

mane Secretary ol Stale under President Jefferson, in 1801, and inaugurated as president of fhe United States on the 4th of March

1809. At the end of his term, he was again elected; and retired to private life in 1817. He is still living in Virginia, in the full en

joyment of Health as little impaired as could

oe expected or hoped by one of his far advan

ced age, and of fhe richest respect, gratitude and esteem, justly felt and acknowledged by the unanimous voice of the great nation, to whose services the best years of his life were devoted.

Mr. Mad ison was succeeded in the Presidential chair by James Monroe, a native of U estmoreland county, Virginia, whose term of life commenced on'the 23th of April, 1758. He joined the ranks of the army in 1 77G, and was engaged in several of the principal battles of the revolution, among which were those of Brandy wine, Trenton and Monmoth. In 1780, at the request of Mr. Jefferson, then Governor of Virginia, he visited the army of the south, under Baron de Kalb, as military commissioner; in 1783, at the age of twentyfour, he was elected a member of Congress; a senator of the United Stales in 1790; appointed minister lo Fiance in 1791; Governor of Virginia in 1799; again minister lo Fiance with Mr. Livingston, in 1803; in the same year minister to Great Britain, and to Spain in 1 805; to Great Bi itain again in 1 80G; Governor of Virginia in 1811; appointed Secretary of Slate, by President Madison, in
